For once, we have a full Splatoon (ink) combo, full animal crossing combo (streetle OR city tripper, leaf tires, paper glider), and full tanooki combo, and they are ALL optimal!!

@Sturmpd 11 месяцев назад

I wish Villager (F) was the same stats as Villager (M), so that both are meta. I like female villager’s design much more than male villager’s. (Same applies with the Inklings, but to a lesser degree as I don’t play them that often)

@Paperboy01234 11 месяцев назад

@@SturmpdYou could always use Inkstriker for Female Villager to make up for lack of speed, you’d be getting 5 Mini-Turbo points instead of the coveted 5.25, however.

@meee_5155 11 месяцев назад

unfortunate that full wiggler is not optimal cause its funny

@CreationMyths 11 месяцев назад

This was great, and the overall “it’s really balanced, play with what you like” message is exactly right.

@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 11 месяцев назад

True, though I still think that it's best to limit your off meta picks to one per combination. To use myself as an example, the Blue Falcon is my favorite kart despite it being kinda bad, so whenever I use it I always use Daisy/King Boo and Rollers just so that I'm not at too much of a disadvantage.

@Maxi-Gonz. 11 месяцев назад

Now I can play my fav combo with decent stats: Ma' girls Daisy or Rosie + Wild Wiggler + Roller/Standard + Paper Glider. Or just go full _Wiggler Gaming!_ combo: Wiggler + Wild Wiggler + Standard + Flower

@Shortcat321 11 месяцев назад

@@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569I wouldn't agree in the past, but after wave 5 I agree with this. All the high mini turbo parts are good now (except wild wiggler vehicle and some characters), so to go "off meta", you are probably sacrificing tons of mini turbo. Doing this for 2 parts of your combo is a big loss

Yoshi's Island being a course, Yoshi being meta, Kamek being added to the game and Kamek's horn sounding like the speech sfx from the game. Man, the SNES Yoshi's Island game is getting a lot of representation lately and I'm 10,000% here for it.

@tedscheett9420 11 месяцев назад

I love it when I can make a fashionable combination that is also functional. Since there are so many viable options now, I'm glad that I'll be able to do that.

@jamesvaden3703 11 месяцев назад

So in essence just looking at the updated stats, I can definitely see the W25 Silver Arrow, Standard Bike, Flame Rider, and Wild Wiggler receiving a +1 speed+mt and a +1 mini turbo increase in the final patch just so it statistically evens out with the current meta and makes the Wild Wiggler a contender in the meta once again without the worries of outrageously dominating the rest 💯🔥👍🏽

@Shortcat321 11 месяцев назад

Honestly I think waluigi wiggler was the problem. I would not mind the wiggler vehicle getting a buff since it's super cute, especially with a lightweight like koopa troopa

@calebers996 11 месяцев назад

This is top tier content, Shortcat. Genuinely. You’re a blessing to this community! I’ve personally been rocking with Daisy, Master Cycle Zero, Rollers (or Sponge if I want hella traction), and Paper glider. This combo feels better to me than literally anything else that’s come before it.

@Shortcat321 11 месяцев назад

Thank you!!

@LuminoX688 11 месяцев назад

These videos really are helpful I already knew 90% of that but I still learned some minor differences on stats It surely will help more beginner-level players though !

@timothypickarski5234 11 месяцев назад

I know inside drift isn’t as good in 8 but im glad the Yoshi bike allows for me to play inside drift with optimal stats. It’s a good skill to learn and spices up the gameplay/how you approach tracks!

@JennieYGO 11 месяцев назад

i picked yoshi bike recently without using it before and was super shocked and had to quickly adapt 😭 was a nice switch up though!

@charlestetreault739 11 месяцев назад

The yoshi bike is great, but it is a beast to control! I've been using some of the less optimal inside drifters (like flame rider) since they don't feel quite as different from outside drift. Maybe that can help to bridge the gap until the yoshi bike can become a comfortable addition to my kart-combo arsenal.

@craigstephenson7676 11 месяцев назад

@@charlestetreault739that’s exactly what I love about the Yoshi bike. I’m way better at the Teddy buggy but playing inside drift is way more fun, it feels like I’m playing the game on hard mode, and the lines also just make more sense to me

@xennon1706 11 месяцев назад

I've been using Rosalina, Yoshi bike, rollers and clouds since day 1 and its nice to see them become more optimal

@Shortcat321 11 месяцев назад

If I redid this video I'd at least throw in a quick comment about inward bikes, since I forgot about them! But pretty much just the yoshi/comet bike are good anyway so it's a simple choice. I'm still bad at using them but I'm glad you are dedicated!

@nathanblackburn1193 11 месяцев назад

The "optimal" character and kart combo really only matters for like time trials and even then only on certain tracks due to layouts (obviously) varying making certain builds better or worse, in regular races with items flying around it won't make that much of a difference and if you get unlucky with spiny shells or whatever it doesn't matter how "optimal" your build is

@Shortcat321 11 месяцев назад

It definitely makes a difference online, but mostly if you're at the same level as other people. The best way to improve your results, especially if you are below 10k points, is to practice shortcuts and defensive item play!

Love the video, thank you for taking time to do this research so I don't have to! I will say that you could argue for the Button or Leaf Tires because you gain one point of max ground speed in addition to the tradeoff you mentioned, but I agree that it's probably not worth it if you're optimizing (unless you're doing specific Time Trials runs)

@r.c.3813 11 месяцев назад

i really like this video. you made it really easy to understand what's good. i mainly wanted to know the karts, tires and glider section because i never knew what's actually good and i'm happy my trusted peach parasol is good though i should find a good kart and tire to go along with it. i hope we see more variety because it's really lame when people go for the best character with the best combo in a game like mario kart though it was funny to be the only shy guy in a room full of waluigi's.

One thing that could be really helpful in a video like this is helping conceptualize what the difference between stat points actually means.

I like this type of video as well where its not all about the gameplay. One fun but possibly longer video would be watching all of the wave 5 world records and giving yourself a single attempt or a couple to recreate it. Or doing a kart and character randomizer online would be fun to watch.
