Wait just a minute

traction, a stat that has a minimal use on not a lot of tracks: not hidden stat mini turbo, a stat that is used constantly, used by the most important mechanic in the game (drifting), used everywhere all the time, the most important stat in the game: hidden stat

@sonicboy678

While it's true that having high traction in 7 was also situational, it nonetheless meant more in that game than in this one. Its primary use in this game is to mitigate slipping at 200cc on tracks that have a bunch of dirt/snow/other slippery surfaces while still using builds with relatively high handling.

Honestly, I think the Traction stat would be more useful if it affected your off-road speed. It still wouldn't be an amazing stat if that was the case, but it would at least be usable on most tracks instead of nearly useless.

Slippery roads also effect your Top Speed, which is determined by Traction. 0.75 Traction would result in a *-2%* or *-3%* Top Speed reduction (depending on the category of slippery road). 5.75 Traction would result in a *-0%* or *-1%* Top Speed reduction. Every point (0.25) of Traction reduces the slowdown by *0.1%* While you can adapt to the slipping part of Traction, you have no control over the slowdown effect. Blooper Ink is also effected by Traction, so it might do something (even though it’s still little) even on courses without slippery road.

Oh that's actually huge, i didn't know about the speed thing. For anyone wondering, 6-7% is the difference between the slowest combo (1 speed) and fastest combo (20 speed), and also the difference between 0 coins and 10 coins. In other words, about 2 or 3 points of traction is the same as 1 point of speed (on slippery road), which is huge!

Shortcat and Liam are the True Traction Team! Yeah, I've never worried too much about the traction stat in this game. It does seem very situational in your average online race. I mean, I could see it coming in handy for like Time Trials, though.

"Does Bowser need to do a paternity test? Should he be worried?" I LAUGHED SO HARD😭

Out of all your "max x stat" videos, I think this one felt the most hopeless to begin with, like it didn't matter AT ALL. It was nice to see the narrative of you and Liam making the push for top two at the end. I literally clapped when you pulled it off

@victoryuji7522

6 ай бұрын

It's because the traction stat doesn't have any visual difference for us viewers, it just looks like he's playing a ugly combo. But for him who's actually playing the game, he can feel the diference

@sonicboy678

29 күн бұрын

@@victoryuji7522 It's also because it mostly matters to any appreciable degree at 200cc, where base speeds are much higher, and even then, you still need to limit your focus, or you'll sacrifice other, far more useful stats.

18:49 Omega props on Liam, who went wide on the last turns so you could get to top 3. Didn't work as expected, but Liam is now your bro 4(th) life!

nintendo really thinks this is a more important stat than mini-turbo

Being a Bowser Jr. enjoyer ever since Smash 4, this video with its incredible tale of friendship and brotherhood between you and Liam made my day, what a great ending too

I was bored today and decided to recreate the Shortcat Mii. When playing, I forgot to change back to my Mii and appeared as Shortcat in the lobby. I went on a massive roll, winning a bunch of races, and surpassed 8000 VR, so thanks for the good luck, Shortcat Mii:) Watching your videos has gotten me back into Mario Kart again and I really enjoy it. Thanks for the great content and also for the educational videos, Shortcat! :)

it’s crazy to see how much influence short cat has. i’ve been here since like 4 or 5 digit subs and it’s so cool to see him randomly racing with a fan almost every video

I like how informative this is. Not really into competitive MK (just too hectic for my liking), so I don't know much background, so it's quite nice to get these informations in an entertaining way.

I learn so much about this game through watching these themed videos, thank you shortcat:)

It hurts my eyes when I see max traction but the bar isn't full Thanks for that Nintendo

Really nice edit using the replay to see whats going on with Liam on Rosalinas Ice World :) And nice Top 2 finish 😁

Thanks so much shortcat I don’t know if this is from when I asked you but there’s enough max traction combos I think you could have also choose but you choose the one I suggested. Thanks either way. The ending was satisfactory.

I love how you always get these super awesome people in your lobbies lol

pretty new to the channel and have been binge watching these videos and this is the first upload since i subbed and it might be my favourite ‼️ the liam friendship was amazing

Great video. I love these videos. Keep it up man

I discovered your channel a few days ago because I needed some help getting less terrible at Mario Kart, and even though I'm still terrible I am loving these rivalries and whole storylines that just come out of nowhere! This one was particularly wholesome, Liam was amazing!

Just came back from a vacation, checked my phone and saw a shortcat upload. LET'S GO! 🤩

Always a treat to see shortcat upload! 😊

The Liam Cam is an amazing addition! Adds a lot to the video🙏

the liam cam was an absolutely hilarious addition, what a great way to up the stakes!

This is what I’ve been waiting for. LET’S GOOOO!!!!

i think if next mario kart does the whole pick your stats thing again, every stat should have a use not only for something gimmicky like "better drift turning on slippery road" but also something that applies on most tracks like "lower deceleration on offroad" or "better drift turning in general". while i'm at it, would be cool if they separated mini turbo speed, length, and charge time across like.. speed stat, miniturbo stat, and idk traction stat i guess.

Love your videos keep up the good work :D

Dude, you are great. Absolutely love watching your videos. You seem like you genuinely enjoy playing which makes the viewing of the videos so much more enjoyable.

The fact that he does this kind challange and the combo actually has balanced stats

YEAH! MAX TRACTION VS MIN TRACTION! YAY!

I love these videos on the silly combos where there's always that one guy who swaps to the combo and forms an alliance, versus the tryhard videos where it's just 30 minutes of "Yoshis don't play nice"

Thanks for finally making this vid

finally someone else used this besides me, its always fun to use, Ive used this one so much that im pretty good with it even on tracks it has no use on

Shortcat: when I say something you can usually trust me Shortcat almost every episode: nice I’m getting a speed bonus since I’m playing Mario on Mario’s circuit
