Who wants to tell her that Yoshi Bike Rollers is actually meta because it’s the same as Teddybuggy except inside drift. You only lose certain tech but high level players have managed with Yoshi Bike. The only not Meta part is Link and that’s not far off at all
@@PurplePh0enix As long as you stick with human Link and don't switch over to dinosaur Link (green Yoshi) or giant mouth Link (green Birdo), you're still not playing meta. 😆

Randomly saw this on my homepage. You go girlie, I wish you all the success! Greetings from Spain❤🩹
Excellent video! Day 17 is probably now my favorite of your "grinding for 10K VR" series so far! Yoshi Bike and roller wheels is the one meta that has never changed for inside drift players even after the Wave 4 patch! You absolutely demolished everyone on Yoshi Island, that was a great race, your green shell snipe on the red shell before the last set of item boxes was insane, and you finished that race clean hitting the flying box for the red bridge. I run into players like SlowCombo on a regular basis. Yeah item management can get you super far in this game especially once it becomes 2nd nature. Knowing the optimal lines or shortcuts are one thing but once you understand how the items work, it gets you much further. Being in 2nd place trailing right behind 1st place is unfortunate because 1st place is taking all the coins from you and they get to 10 coins really fast, while 2nd place is stuck at little to none coins. Also, congratulations on completing the star challenge on MKWii cups! Keep up the great work with your Mario Kart content creation journey! It keeps getting more & more exciting!
I'm glad you enjoyed this one! I really had a lot of fun playing with the new combo -- I'll probably stick with it for a good while! The MKWii star rank series was so much fun -- I'm kind of sad it's over ngl lol. Thank you so much! I have a lot of plans for the future in regards to the Mario Kart content and I can't wait to get to do them all!
I've heard standard kart actually isn't that bad in the game. Is it Meta? No. But it is still a viable kart to use. The important thing is to play with what you like to play with!
Excellent VR gains there. Lap one priority is almost always getting coins because your speed boost is worth the time. Let's talk about SNES Rainbow Road (it's the track I personally test all my combos with because it is a pretty technical track) Your troll opponent threw the bomb ahead of you because he saw you trailing a shell. He knew the bomb would take you out along with any means of retaliation (bombs will always destroy trailing/rotating items.) If you simply held that red shell in your hand, you could have thrown it immediately after you recovered and slowed him down. The other bomb he used at the curve was a choke point. You would not have been able to avoid it, it was perfectly placed.
Very interesting analysis of the SNES Rainbow Road race! Definitely some things to keep in mind for next time -- like maybe I shouldn't trail my shells behind me due to people potentially destroying them with bombs lol
@@PurplePh0enix Bagging also allows you to get a better view of the sleeping Wiggler while taking the outside drift for up to 5 coins (if you get the 2 coins on the outside drift before the straightaway and the 3 coins right by the sleeping Wiggler). 💤❤
@@PurplePh0enix If you stick with Link and decide to use something other than inward, I suggest going full goofball and use the build you mentioned at Hyrule Circuit during your time trial series. You know, the build I ended up using for my Kalimari Desert time trial. Link, Mr. Scooty, Hot Monster tires, Wario Wing glider. 👀🤣
I do have plans to do one in the near future! Definitely doing it for the 5k sub celebration -- all my streams are Fridays-Sunday at 12PM CDT, and I'll put out an announcement on the community tab when it gets closer to time for the 5k sub celebration (as I don't know the exact date yet), so keep a look out for that!
To be a huge 🤓; Yoshi Bike has shared stats with Teddy Buggy & Cat Cruiser, which have the best vehicle stats in a competitive context due to their high mini-turbo whilst still having decent speed and acceleration, aka high for the best stat and decent for the second and third bests. However, Yoshi Bike is never considered in those because of the inside drift issue which prevents a lot of higher level tech but genuinely if you prefer it then no one else should tell you otherwise 🫡

There are pros and cons to trailing, and knowing which is better in any given situation can be a challenging task.
Girl shot the red thinking it didn't connect but the player back-greened her. Lag, am I right, Savannah?😒😤💀🤦🏿♂ 10:00
Thanks Nintendo! 🤣
😂😂😂😭😤💀
15:12 that track is actually a bagger, you should try practice bagging sometime, it's really useful
Oh that's right, I forgot DS Mario Circuit was a bagging track! I will have to give it a try at some point!

I hope they make Mario Kart 9 one day!
Yes same! I can't wait to see what they do with it!
When Nintendo lag ruins things
as Shortcat would say: Thanks Nintendo
Don’t point out you’re set up for success!!! You’re gonna jinx it!!!!
Dang I'm early for once (edit) also nice trying the new combo
Meanwhile, I'm late as always. 😆
Wow different combo this time Nice
Yeah, I thought maybe I should spice things up a bit! I definitely liked using the Yoshi Bike combo even if I will miss my Master Cycle combo.
Yoshi bike has the best stats in the game
I never thought you would change your combo, are you considering someday change to outside drift??
Haha I know I have done something crazy!
Maybe one day I'll have to use outside drift -- you never know 👀

Interestingg. Yeah inside drift is definitely not the best way to play in terms of competitive MK, but I personally love it!
