take me back to mario kart wii flame runner How to get Better at Mario Kart: • FULL Beginner Guide | ... mk8dx inward drift vehicles: - comet - yoshi bike - sport bike - jet bike - master cycle
4k subs already yall are amazing ❤ also heres a description of inside drift. 5 bikes (in the description) have inside drift. When you start a drift, they dont turn at first, and then it becomes a regular-looking turn instead of a sideways drift. You cant turn as sharply, and you cant hop to change your direction quickly. Some 200cc world records use inside drift to take better driving lines (like toads turnpike and paris promenade), but mostly outside drift is used online and in records. Inside drift is harder to use well, but it is definitely viable in competitive play! Give it a shot, i recommend the yoshi bike (and lots of practice)
Wait so inside drift isn't bad? I've been using a combo with inside drift since I got the game and it feels really good to control, especially on 200cc.
As someone who the first time i played MK8 used the comet i guess i just got so used to it & " inside drift " that i dont think i can go back at this point lol finding out that inside drift was so niche & considered more difficult was such a shock to me a few months back. Awesome video ! :))
I always used the master cycle and when I used wiggled for the very first time( I don’t use it I use bidy buggy) I thought it was weird. Now I can’t go back to inside drift lol
I believe it has to do with how the vehicle positions itself when performing a drift. An outside drift vehicle positions the rear of the vehicle towards the opposite direction you are drifting, so if you drift left the rear of the car is positioned right. Inside drift instead commits to that direction you are turning and character leans into that same direction. So if start your drift in the left, instead of the rear being positioned right your character leans into the left and maintain their current alignment when starting the drift.
Dude same. I always use yoshi bike in the past like 7 years of playing the game and I never knew it was considered wierd to use lol. Iv gotten so used to it its hard to play on a normal kart
I've been a inside drift user since the Wii and Wii U days and I still main it today. So I'm glad to see people are trying them out a bit more these days because I do believe they are very underrated and slept on. That said I do think inside drifters has some massive issues that makes them worse in most cases over outside drifters, mainly due to these 6 issues. 1) They require you to know the map since you can't see what's is around the corner so you are more likely to hit a banana mid drift. 2) They simply don't drift sharp enough so certain maps like Dragon driftway and Bowser Neon city requires you to hit the breaks constantly even on 150cc. 3) they are alot less forgiving if you get stuck in grass or hit a wall since they will basically toss you in some random direction at times and they can't save themselves to correct their direction with jumping like outsiders can. 4) on 200CC they really struggle a lot more that outside drifters (not saying they are bad you can 100% make em work) 5) they are usually not that great at shortcuts. 6) they are hard hit by slippery maps and bloopers. There is a reason why inside drifters aren't used for time trials. Imo for insiders to truly shine, a buff to how sharp they can turn is needed, to compensate for this a reduction to quickly they gain mini-turbo stacks would be 100% justified. I think making inside drifters turn as sharp on heavies as babies can right now would be a good start, and then from there mid weight would turn sharper, and babies even sharper. maybe more than this needed, but its a good start.
for online, inward drift has a couple big advantages over outside too. When drifting around a turn, you have a really great angle to throw shells back and look backwards that karts just don't have
@@placidmink2537 Ohh for sure, but it hardly worth it over not being able to see what's around the corner in front of you. But you're right its def one advantage Insiders has but when I'm mid drift I usually try and focus more on not hitting a banana around the corner, since I can't see it.
@@placidmink2537 even if you turn in a very good time, there are certain times where breaking is necessary, or else you will end up taking a biiiiig curve, so for heavies you will fall off the stage, mid weight will barely make it, and babies will also barely be able to, but respectable. (hence i think heavies should be able to drift as sharp as babies can rn) so yes you're right you might still be on the track but you will have been passed by literally all the other racers before you're back to the mid road.
Yeah its so strange how hard they nerfed the handling for inside drift. They already nerfed it by adding the portion at the start of the drift where you can't turn
I actually main medium mii, yoshi bike, sponge, paper glider as I’ve noticed the extra traction helps a TON for in-drift especially. Always cool to see in-drift videos for MK8!
I've been maining the Comet ever since I read an old MK8 guidebook showing a lot of world records that used it, but I've only just learned what inside drift is! That explains why it always feels so weird trying to drift with most other vehicles lol
As someone who mains inside drift and didn't really know the differences between them, I'm actually kind of annoyed that the style I'm very used to is considered subpar. Kind of makes sense how some tracks seem unfair to me, but I still won't switch to outside drift because I'm so used to inside.
Inside drift is love. It feels so good making all these meta players lose just because I take all curves sharper and cleaner than them. I'm long at the point where I feel outside drift is the weird one Jet bike forever!
i used to main inside drift but i stopped using it recently because you can’t do tricks like super bounce, correction hopping, mini turbo tricks (i think), and some shortcuts. soft drifting is broken though, as you can snake with ease and take turns super well. i love it, and if they add those mechanics back i’m definitely switching back
i love this channel so much, your commentary is great and every vid is really entertaining. i hope to see this channel grow so much! (also, congrats on 4k subs!!🎉)
Tip for using inside drift, think of the track being split down the middle, when using outside drift u start from the side close to the turn and end on the side further from the turn, but it's reversed for inside drift so you go from outside to in(I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I tried my best getting my tip across)
Inward drifting works like motobikes in real life. When you want to take a line, you start from the outside and when the angle of the turn comes you get as close to the inside as possible
back in the MKWII days I used inside drift a lot, I really felt that it was the superior choice, but now playing MK8D I had to swap to outside drift because most of the time you really feel like you get punished for using inside drift in this tracks
Inside drift is so wierd... but i love it. It takes a little bit to get used to. However once i got used to it i kinda prefer it over the regular drifting. Its hard to go back to the old drifting for me, except for 200cc depending on the track. And for the mini turbos i have no issue getting them but i do use yoshi for the most part.
Yeah there's a way to get mini turbos, and its not the way I'm doing it. On outside drift, you can simply turn sharper than necessary, and hop to realign. On inside drift, you can't do that, so I think I should just be holding a straight drift near the end for more charge.
I use comet and standard wheels/glider and it has decent stats and I find it really fun to play. Before this I used to pick my kart combo based purely off of what I think looks cool so I'd almost always pick bad combos
Learning all this stuff about Mario kart, I gotta go back into the game and see the difference. I was always racing with sport bike with slicks and now I see the whole world hates that.
When using inside drift vehicles, go for heavier characters, such as Wario or Warluigi with acceleration glider and rollers / GLA tires. Mini turbo is not that important in these circumstances, but speed really is.
They punished inward bikes a little too hard in this game imo. I really hope they improve the drifting in future patches but that seem very unlikely tho.
Isn’t one of the strats with inward drift to *_not_* always actually _drift?_ I’m trash at it, but it is my understanding that just turning with those bikes is a stronger handling that’s preferred in some cases, for turns where you can’t get much of a mini-turbo boost anyway. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I actually think just turning will actually charge up the mini-turbo, albeit a bit slower! Is that mechanic never useful?
Dude I had no clue you only have 6 videos and 5k subscribers, I thought you made it already 😂 you’re set to grow, the videos are great, entraining, and you are a great person by the sound of it, love your vids, will be watching forever.
I completed my first profile with 99K VR and am now on my second profile with 23K VR ONLY with inside drift. I would love you show you some clips of my best moments!!
Sometimes I use inside drift for when I’m beating time trial ghosts in a course with many jagged turns, like Toad Harbor, or icy tracks, like Sherbet Land.
Hi Shortcat! I just discovered your channel so I was looking at some old videos......loved finding this one on inside drift! I play only inside drift AND motion controls, hahaha! (I'm about 7000 rated right now and still competitive.) It only took about 2 minutes of this video before you said something like "I can't see anything when I'm going around corners". That's one of the biggest drawbacks for inside drift. I'm okay when I play full screen by myself, but when my daughter and I are playing together and I only get half of the screen, I'm pretty terrible. She plays outside drift and never had any idea what I was talking about, until one day she watched my side of the screen while I was cornering. It's a big difference!
I recently started paying attention to the competitive scene and what is considered META was far different than what I remembered, it was so fascinating to see that inside drifting was *not* considered viable, as I had been taught otherwise I think I was still in the wii u mindset with far more emphasis on weight and speed
As someone who mainly used the sport bike from Mario Kart 8's release all the way to wave 5 of the booster pass (and used the mach bike before in MKWii) I appreciate you at least giving it a shot!
I started using inside drift just to mess with my friends a while back, but I’ve mained yoshi bike for so long now that I can hardly use outside drift anymore
Had to Google what "inside drift" is so I could understand what the big deal is a couple minutes into watching, and finding that out answered a couple personal gripes I've been wrongly attributing to traction... which I've had with outside drifting karts. Noses turning so far inward I have to abort a turbo before I wind up perpendicular to the track, sliding towards the outside of a curve and side-slamming crap when I wanted to just keep on turning kinda close to the arc I was already on (tryna make a minor adjustment and slipping three friggin lanes over), and not being able to start a drift three miles before the turn even starts like I can with (apparently) inside drifting, good for maps with straighter tracks and longer, more drawn-out curves. Thanks for prompting the search!
The great thing about outside drift though is you can do alignment hops. If you turn too far, you can press R and hop in the other direction to correct your line. I do this all the time on outside drift!
Huh, didn't know about that! Still think I'll keep practicin' with insiders personally, but I'm also still practicing with different kart combos so that's sure to come in handy sometime. Thanks!
I hated inside drift bikes for the absolute longest time. However, ever since I reached the 200cc Grand Prix races, I've realized they are pretty much the only bikes in the game that can drift "normally" at such speeds. I've kind of fallen in love with the Master Cycle ever since.
I was on an inward bike kick for a bit a couple years ago in this game They're really fun but it takes so much time to relearn that muscle memory and trying to figure out lines as there's so few resources for the sports bikes (Although, there is a set of time trials for inward bikes alone) A few of the tracks feel so good with inward drift. The yoshi bike and comet were already on par with wiggler in terms of stats, and with the balance changes they're the same as teddy/cat cruiser. In some comp settings you'd see some Waluigis on Yoshi Bike and they're usually incredibly good. As an ending note, I'd like to say, good crud dude! I left a comment before, and I've been watching your videos since. You're solid at the game and the worldwides are chill. Keep it up!
Ive been using the Sport Bike since like 2018 lol, seeing someone struggle with how the drift feels (as someone who thinks its the best form of drifting in MK8) makes me wonder if ive just gotten too used to playing MK8 like its MKWii
@Shortcat I guess I understand not liking the camera angling (albeit I've never really noticed it was bad) but the sharp turning is what I always really liked about inside drifting bikes. Idk. Let's me race very tight and strict lines which nobody else takes and gives me a sort of upper hand advantage because of it
Hello! I've been practicing speedcubing for a while now and have achieved a consistent solve time of under 13 seconds using the CFOP method. However, I'm currently contemplating whether or not I should devote my time and energy towards learning the ZBLL method in order to improve my solve times even further. I was wondering if you could share your personal thoughts and experiences on whether ZBLL is a viable method to learn, considering its potential effectiveness and the level of time and effort required to master it. Any insights you could provide would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
Shortcat hearts A LOT of comments, except the ones that mention the similarities between him and jperm. Kinda makes me think that there’s more to shortcat than meets the eye…
@@argonianale5716jperm sounds like shortcat and their thumbnails are alike, whenever jperm doesnt post shortcat posts. Idk i don't really believe this but i have heard of it
I ended up going for inside drift for my usual combos, and the biggest reason I was so determined to learn it was because Rosalina gets the cooler outfit on bikes
I had no idea what inside drift was until I looked it up because of this video. I'm simply too stubborn to use anything but my boy Link and his master cycle tho. I don't even care, style over function lol. I think I'm decent at it at least.
15:34 "this is why you don't play baby characters. you have no control over what happens to you, and that can be the most frustrating thing" accurate baby lore
Playing inside drift is really fun! My main is actually Yoshi Comet. Until blooper Or cheese land Or Neo Bowser Or dragon driftway 200 Or literally any other traction course ever
i have a set with daisy inside drift but its not the baby one only the normal conet or sport bike hot monster tires and flower glider so i did win 90% of all tracks with first try on 150cc sadly i dont have a video of it ...... stats: Acceleration and weight 3 full bar, speed 3.75 so its not full 4 bar, handling is 3 or 3.25 idk and grip 4 if this is not working well then do it as a challenge at 200cc
Outside drift is a lot better for looking into a corner. Am I the only one who hears outside drift is a lot better for lookahead? Congrats on 1.5M subs
Inside drift really needs a buff/rework. Even something as simple as having the camera actually work with you would be huge Or they could bring back wheelies for inside drift specifically
@Shortcat321 if you have issues with inside drift commit to the turn but carefully tilt the stick away from the direction your going instead of to control the drift.
i’m an inside drift main, and going from inside drift to outside drift i think is so much harder than outside drift to inside drift. my first main vehicle was the comet, but then i went to outside drifting vehicles like teddy and inkstriker. recently, i realized that inside drift just comes more naturally to me and have gone back to it, and anytime i try outside drift again it feels so slippery and impossible to drive
As someone whos always mained inside drifting bikes to the point where I can barely switch to outward drifting efficently, it is ROUGH. Especially when it comes to online matches, despite my multiple years of experience. Unlike outward drifting vehicles where you can easily take smooth turns around corners and turns, with inside drifting bikes, you HAVE to cut corners to the point where you're barely away from hitting the wall. Not to mention staying on the very edge of the track to the best of ones ability. On certain maps with multiple turns, I sometimes start my drift seconds before I even really get to the turn. Its most definitely not as suitable vs outward vehicles, but I love maining inside bikes ultimately.
When playing inside drift, the camera doesnt adjust to your drifting angle. In my opinion thats what sucks the most, because as long as you dont know the entire course from memory, you just dont see where you going.
Another interesting thing is that in mkwii, inside drift is even better thanks to wheelies. Since after a drift, you come out facing the direction of the wheelie
I normally play on inside drift and didn't know there was a different but did realize that I was a bit worse with the other bike I would use and stopped using it. I normally use my mii, master cycle (and tried using the mastercycle 0 only to not like it, also it was slower in speed), off-road (normally retro but occasionally normal), and the hylian glider.
I was today years old when I found out that inside drift is less optimal... I've been using inside drift literally since the original game came out for Wii U, it feels weird doing it any other way. Rosalina Jet Bike for the win
