Scientifically measuring my SKILL in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Playing 15 races to find my average placement / position / rank in MK8DX. A true objective, scientific, mathematical analysis with not a single bias.

  23. Can I just say I'm tired of hearing "Shortcat is J Perm"? I did my own research and aside from them sounding similar it's all speculation. And even if, hypothetically, he did run both channels, the lack of concrete proof means he's probably intentionally keeping his channels separate. The reasons for why he might are not our business. You're not solving anything by commenting over on this channel telling him to upload to his other one. All you're doing is annoying him and other commenters who are just trying to enjoy this channel's videos.

  27. Hey, I thought I'd let you know that, thanks to you showing off so many shortcuts in your videos, I've now started taking them ever since playing again (after recovering from being sick and binging your videos). I've never actually used videos to figure out the lines before, but somehow watching you made it so that I nailed all the shortcuts on DK Mountain and Mute City on my first tries (including that one over the rocks!), although I didn't do too well on regular paths… for some reason.

    I also had a terrifying moment online with that shortcut in Rainbow Road (8 version) near the end where you jumped between splitting paths. I was playing Worldwide and had no intention of actually doing it until my brain had the following thought process.
    "Wait, go this way, it's the path Shortcat took."
    "No! I haven't even tested that offline and it… wait it worked?!"
    "Hell yeah, let's go for the next part!"
    "What, no! Don't push… I did it, what the hell? How?!"

  31. Hey Shortcat, are you planning on covering your control method sometime? I know you use a GameCube controller and you said in a past video you do something really complicated to set it up for softdrifting, but I’ve also noticed that you most likely enable motion controls for gliders through some sort of toggle since you always do motion glider (and have the option on) yet drive only with a joystick. Would be interesting to hear about!
