Would be interesting to see how the stuff shortcat practiced in time trials will translate into playing it in ranked :D Edit: Okay, he's broken as af when it comes to frontrunning Hyrule Circuit
Hey thete!! Am the man behind shortsquid, i was so impressed when i saw you in my race and said "wait, is that the real one?". Ggs man :] (Btw, that day was my first in 20K point so... i got destroyed ;v;)
Shortcat has done everything in Mario Kart except one thing. He's done worldwides, competitive, top 10 in time trial, completed numerous of challenges but has never played battle mode online in his videos! He should definitely get his Mario Kart youtuber friends to play battle mode once for a video. That'll be cool. One time for the one time as they say
You were actually the reason that top 2 at the end was possible! Your bob omb was a direct hit to second place, which resulted in Shortquid being able to catch up
That last Hyrule Circuit was GORGEOUS. Couple of tiny missteps, for sure, but those tight hallways turns, really solid shroomless shortcuts, and no-shortcut lines were all sweet. That was a race that showcased "If you have skill and practice, the rest of the game can go really well." I looked at the minimap towards the end and was just shocked by how much time had been gained.
4:26 - I think first place just didn’t have protection behind their coin and thought you’d red shell them at any point. So maybe they actually slowed down to try and catch you in the blue shell explosion and crack your red shell in the process, thus also gaining invincibility frames! It could’ve been a genius play, had you not decided to play it safe. They even almost got you!
there is shortcat, shortdog, shortbird, shortalien, shortrat, shortmole, shorttiger, and now shortsquid. The family continues. Edit: GUYS STOP BOMBING ME WITH ANIMALS THAT ARE NOT IN THE SHORt FAMILY. I only mentioned the animals on the short family.
I love how you have such a big impact on Mario kart, each race that I get into there’s at least 1 or 2 other ShortSomethings. And I’m enjoying every single second.
I just wanna point out, from a viewer standpoint, I enjoy the chaos of public lobbies much more than the competitive rooms. That's just me, though. You make whatever content you find most fun!
@@MarioRuizGalvezit wasn't Alberto, someone else knocked him off and later Alberto (I think) found the strat when shortcat wasn't in the top 10 anymore
That second hyrule circuit round was so damn good to watch, seeing you go a bit quieter and having watched your vid on the time trials, I just loved seeing you go full tryhard :P
Hey there Shortcat! I discovered this channel because of the cubing community and Mario Kart has actually quickly become one of my favorite hobbies. I hope I can reach 20,000 VR and see you in a game!
1:24 that timeline makes me stressed just looking at it. 😅 But the work definitely paid off, the video turned out fantastic And congrats on 500k!! 🎉🎉 That’s a big accomplishment for such a short cat
So glad to see a Chilean in a mario kart vid. Im always so excited when i see a chilean player in your lobbies lol. I love my country!!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Let's be honest, after watching your Top 10 Hyrule Circuit video, and now, when you play it in silent with the circuit music I'm the background, I feel like a nostalgic and very very happiness for you shortcat. I'm from Spain, I started watching your videos like some months ago and I'm in love with all you hard work. Keep it up!!! (And sorry if my English level isn't that good enough) PEACE!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Shortcat! At the very end of your last race you threw the bomb off the sign and it landed directly on the red yoshi in second place. The shock hit at the same time so it didnt matter but shortsquid took second wooo squid!
Dude I watched your content religiously when you first started making TH-cam videos and now you have half a million subs?!? Good work man! You deserve it!
Seeing shortcat go quiet in the last race and absolutely obliterate his competition in his best track is so awesome to see! Loved this video and I've watched the other one at least 4 times. Keep up the good work Mr Cat 🎉
Glad to see you back from the lounge events and after the fiasco of the Time Trial video! Congratulations on getting 500k subscribers on your channel! Two years of making content and you're already very successful, keep up the good work! Side note: I realised this quite a while ago, you might surpass Troy/TWD98 pretty soon. Which is funny considering that he's been making videos for a decade and a half with 520k subscribers while you have 500k+ subscribers in just 2 years.
Shortcat/jperm as someone that has been watching your other channel for years, this video is one of the most entertaining and fun things I have ever seen you make. Its great that you are genuinely enjoying this hobby and I cant wait to see what you put out next. I guess Im a mario kart fan now! ❤
Shortcat I just want you to know that you are a huge inspiration for me and the main reason why I got good at MarioKart. I love watching your videos. ❤
hi, i'm spanish and i really wanted to say that your videos are helping me so much, because i'm obviously studying english, but i also find them entertaining and original. I dont think you're gonna read this but It would be great if you make a video playing with subs ❤😅
I feel like if you would of gone straight into competitive you would of learned more and plus nothings going to be perfect, your opponents are learning as much as your learning
can i just say that even though the time trial video is nearly 2 hours long and i've watched it 4 times because it is so good. Keep up the awesome uploads
The shortreturn! It truly begins now. Also I think you were too hard on yourself ok, derusting takes time. (And that last hyrule circuit made me feel like I was watching the Hyrule Circuit montage again, so cool!)
oh boy, thanks to your top 10 video on hyrule, I started grinding a track I really like, and I just realized if I grind that too hard, I won't be able to have the skill set with worldwide, thanks for the reminder that I have to keep the worldwide strats with me, gonna go do some now since I don't want to lose badly. Great video as always!!!
Your MK8DX Hyrule time trial video is what got me interested in MK8 again after I stopped playing since before they did the DLC Waves. Since then been binge watching yer stuff and it's interesting for a time trialer to see the other side of the fence even if I don't have a huge interest for it
Great video as always! Trying to get better at using my rearview mirror and wondered if there’s anyway to configure the controller. From what I’ve seen, it’s not possible but thought I would ask. Would be great to be able to use one of the lower shoulder pad buttons instead of the X button. Is there an easier way to use the rearview with it being on the top/X button? Are you using the middle part of your thumb for the accelerate and the top pad of your thumb for the rearview? When I see players like Liam and Gyrodos, it’s crazy how fast and often they are hitting the rearview so thought maybe I’m missing something. That’s 3 buttons with thumb adding in brake
It would be so much cool one day shortcat just playing in a room with two short animals and actually see who is the best among each other other than competing against them Or a 3 way competition would be cool
Weee aree BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK SHORTCAT HOW DO YOU FEEL MAN EVERYONE IS SO PROUD AND IMPRESSED MAN U DESERVED THIS LOVE YOU SHORTCAT DONT STOP PLAYING MARIO KART WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I know you said you feel unpracticed, but your lines seem sharper than they did before your time trial practice! I think your standard for yourself has leveled up because you know time trial-style precision is possible for you now, so you are blasting off. :) really fun to watch!
Another fun thing about that last race: I now know the track well enough to tell that the reason you won after that blue shell was because the red yoshi in 2nd got slapped by that Lap 3 piranha plant. XD
They cant stop me from taking a 2 week break
they can
@@NoMorePomegranates bro, if shortcat says u can't, u can't bro
Well its your desision

Right! They probably figured a red shell would be much faster though~
