I bought Shortcat's controller to prove him wrong, but now I can't stop winning

Shortcat thinks the Gamecube controller is best for Mario Kart for two reasons: Motion Glider (Glider Vectoring) and Soft Drifting. I explain both concepts in my video and also touch on the biggest disadvantage of the Gamecube controller for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which Shortcat also explained): No motion controls = no shake tricks.

To all new viewers, welcome! I’m Louis G (pronounced ‘Luigi’) and I hope you enjoy my slightly above average Mario Kart gameplay😂

Thanks for giving it a try! Also it was awesome watching you try to do motion glider on all the gliders. It's definitely not an instant level up to your skills, as you suddenly have to worry about falling out of the glider, and how to not shoot too far to the side. For anyone who has never tried motion glider, it's harder than it looks to control!

Smash players have sworn by it for over a decade, now it's Mario Kart's turn for the reign of the GC controller

British Shortcat🔥🔥🔥

i have to say i never used the shake-tricking and didn't even know it was a thing until a few months ago lmao even with motion controls turned off. i tried the gc controller out too and i cannot get used to the motion gliding bc of having to switch to the d-pad fast and precisely 😭 i'll stick with the pro, as it works perfectly fine for me
-
I loved the endless first places then at the end you showed the real struggle 😂 Always love your videos! Great energy and fun to watch, keep it up Louis G!

For those who don't like the gcc layout there's also the progcc which lets you convert any switch pro controller into a GameCube controller that still works as a pro controller if you need it to be one

the ultimate snipe at 6:28 is very impressive

I'm mainly a PC gamer, but I've played for almost 2 months straight MK8 online on a Switch Lite. I'm stuck around 10K, but when I connected my 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth last weekend I was raking in those fucking points and all those techniques seem to make sense! Conclusion: I'm buying a normal Switch this week and I'm gonna experiment with all the different controllers.

Hot take: Wii U Gamepad (with tilt controls)

Would you ever consider switching controller?

14:43 “wheres the purple mini turbo?” YOU HAVE SMART STEERING ON BRO
-
I didn’t even know shaking to trick was a thing outside of Mario Kart Wii
-
its quite funny seeing people bothered by not being able to shake on tricks, because I never even knew you could do that, so I'm just able to time tricks perfectly 😂
-
Brother that bit with the smart steering had me dying
-
All those wins you pulled out was very impressive!! Great job Louis G!! 🤩👏💚
-
Lol, I love the skill issue compilation at the end XD
-
don't know if you noticed but there's a bit of vertical tearing on the recordings
-
Wow, this video was amazing!! Well done 😮
-
Wow glider vectoring looks so fun!
