Tomorow will be a video breaking down Kraken's history, and how well they redesigned it. I've seen a lot players concerneed about it, or that are not aware of its history in Splatoon 1. I will also do my best to guess how strong it will be compared to the other specials, since unlike the new special, we know most of the info here.
My only problem with the new special is there are more markers than the maximum amount of people in a team so it will be obvious to the enemies I think it will probably be a displacement tool like tentas and tristrike however it would be fun the jump in while this special was used so you could trick the enemy
I assume the logic is someone either super jumping amidst the special, or using the special where someone's jumping, to hide the real marker so they can jump safely when they might otherwise not have
I'd agree thats probably the idea, but I'm also of the opinion that the *vast* majority of teams won't have anywhere close to that level of coordination. In practice it's probably ending up as "bad killer wail/tenta missiles"
I agree ! They should have just stuck to 1-2 markers and not have been so obvious … or sometimes have it be 1 marked another time 2 etc not always like 6 which doesn’t even make sense 😂
Wouldn't it be hilarious if they let you Super Jump to your own Decoys? I know it won't happen, but just imagine the game-breaking flanks and Beakon trolling we could do!
Yeah along with this my main confusion is how anyone would get an effective use out of the decoy mechanic if you have to superjump to someone first. The decoys seem to land way to fast to have the time to plan where to superjump too.
4:15 oh hey wonder who made that👀 Jokes aside, I’m glad to see my weird little map-making obsession is being helpful here! I’ve been a fan of your content ever since I’d gotten back into Splatoon with 3, and your Splat 2 map design video was what inspired me to try and make my own 😄 Love the content and congrats on 100k!
I love that they are adding new weapon kits, stages, and gear to the game. Though, anyone else here think they may add some new hairstyles too? I would love to see more hairstyles for the Octolings. Especially some hairstyles that are more on the short then long style.
We definitely need more hairstyles for both Inklings & Octolings. A lot of the Inkling hairstyles are old & IMO don't look very good. Meanwhile Octoling hairstyles seem to not have much variety & some look too similar. I highly doubt we'll get a ton of new hairstyles, but I really hope we get at least really good new ones for both that are as universally appealing as possible.
I think autobomb on tri nouveau could reference the Seeker it had in Splatoon 1, which was somewhat split up into curling bomb and autobomb in Splatoon 2 I’m upset either way though, I want my burst back
Yeah, that was what I was thinking as well. I feel like it may be Auto bomb, Wave Breaker. My friend who loves Tri Slosher just wants the kit to have a bomb and I let them know my prediction. Clearly they are trying to hit us in our nostalgia feels like crazy with this update honestly and I LOVE it.
With this special still being invincible, I do hope it gets something like Big Bubbler where it shrinks slowly in form factor when it takes damage. Just something to offset it, because HP specials are already very strong in this game, and this special could be downright broken with health that doesn't actually scale down. You were dead on though with this prediction, did not think Kraken would return personally, so hats off to you.
On chill season I gave the reason to all shooter kits being the holidays since a lot of new players would be getting the game, and all the splattershots (except nova but it launched on that season) and aerospray got kits, so I thought that the reason behind the shooter kits were the new people coming to the game so they gave some noob friendly weapons new options. But now with fresh season I think that it started to lean more towards Nintendo shooter bias itself
I can’t wait for fresh season, I’m super pumped about the kraken returning and the new special also looks pretty cool. And congrats on 100k subscribers!
I’m extremely excited for fresh season, it’s adding so many things, more weapon kits (of course), more maps and of course 2 new specials!! (Well kinda new since the kraken is a returning special). Btw congratulations on 100k! You earned it!
The Super chump is a cool special and kind of remined me as a nod to Marinas hyper bombs from Octo Expansion. BUT what I'd really like to know is if you can launch yourself or a teammate along with the decoys. The special kind of reminds me of the ink rails around the map and the clear interior makes me thing you can hop in and get shot out of the special.
I hope that vanilla or range blaster get Kraken at some point If Intesify actually works on the special, blaster profits the most of it since the ability is already very good and important for that weapon
I'm super excited for fresh season the Kraken and super jump thing looks awesome also the weapon designs are amazing I can't wait for it to be released
You know it's interesting to think that the upcoming specials tp the Fresh Season are mostly slimilar to Reefslider and Tenta Missles, which are the two specials that the community currently or previously disliked.
I mean people dont dislike reef and missiles in the same way. They dislike reef because it's terrible and undertuned and hate missiles because they're overpowered and disrupt the game by acting in a way that's different and more broken than any other mechanic in the entire game.
7:15 The Tri-Slosher Nouveau had Seeker in the first game, so I'm assuming the Autobomb could be somewhat emulating that. Both subs have the ability to follow an opponent within close range before exploding on them.
for the kraken im going to assume that the amount of time is around 8-10 seconds and the surge just ends your special once its done. They could also do this with the amount of times you jump as well. This is such a interesting special because its like a week reefslider , but lasts longer and has more control of a area. definatly a good way to go from splat 1s amazing mess of specials.
After overanalyzing a ton of footage, I want to point out that I don't think the Tri-Slosher Nouveaux is going to be getting Autobomb. As the full catalog has been revealed, we can see that one of the clothing items (specifically the shirt) that the inkling is wearing has one main ability of Ink Saver Sub, which means that the red line we see in the trailer is probably indicative of a sub that takes 60% of the ink tank, reduced to about 52% due to one main of Sub Saver. This would mean that it has either Fizzy Bomb, Ink Mine, Point Sensor, Splash Wall, or Sprinkler. Considering how blurry the footage is, it might even have Torpedo, which would take about 58% of the ink tank with one main of Sub Saver, however I think the line looks a lot closer to the 52%. (For those wondering, I DID in fact go through the trailer for the last season to confirm that the abilities on the clothing were taken into account in whatever dev build they use for the trailers, and it turns out you can see the same thing happening for other weapons in the trailer for the Chill Season)
Huffing major copium because my favorite hat, the camo mesh, seems to be replaced by the seaform and dustcloud caps but other than that Some catalogue items are really intersting because band posters have also gotten abbreviated names so that's really interesting and on top of that, some of the emotes are also looking pretty interesting on top of the reppin inkopolis ones.
It would have been hilarious if Splashdown was still in the game with Super Chump. Imagine seeing one extra super chump land after the others fire and then the jump marker turned into a splashdown aoe.
Because the catalog was leaked, I found out that the shirt the Tri-Slosher was wearing has a main ability of Ink Saver(Sub), meaning Tri-Slosher COULD have a different sub weapon.
The thing is, clash is really bad and curling bomb is bad too, for clash to even stand a chance it needs at least a decent sub. A movement option really doesnt matter that much when it has a slower kill time than almost any other weapon in the game, it needs a lethal bomb for poking, or a burst bomb, or it could even benefit from toxic mist to make running away from it even more terrible
Two Missile weapons came back with their exact same set... but with Missiles replaced with Super Chump. so missiles are getting the sting ray treatment of "we will never put this on another weapon", aren't they
What's scary about Custom Jet is that, if the 60% tank is for Splash Wall, then they could bring back the Splash Wall Inkstrike set from 1 in the form of Splash Wall Tristrike and I'm NOT looking forward to that
I'm a bit scared of kraken getting invincibility again... I'm afraid it's just going to be a counter to tri-strike since it was good at shredding crabs and bublers but without being week to crabs and bublers, which is a missed opportunity in my opinion since a special triangle would have been awesome, although the meta specials themselves would be the worst 4 specials in terms of design...
Kraken and Super Chump specials look fun! The N-ZAP '89 kit could be neat in spite of having Auto-bomb! God I hope they buff Auto-bomb. I'd argue that Sprinkler is a better sub in general and that it's a more reliable source of damage. I'm happy to see a new Splat Roller kit, having just started playing with the base kit 2 days ago. Fingers crossed Swim Speed and IE works with Kraken! .96 Gal Bedazzled looks the most interesting to me. I really enjoyed it in Salmon Run and hope that satisfaction carries over. Such a fun firing sound! I hope the new desert map is way better than Brinewater "Battle for the Cube" Springs. I don't care about Clash Blaster.
Sprinkler isn't better than auto bomb. Auto bomb is still a bomb and bombs are still the best subs in the game, you can detect enemies with it and it pretty cheap in ink compared to other bombs. It also paint better than sprinkler overall
@@91yugo77 agree. Bombs are great! And of all the bombs for a weapon to get paired with, why would anybody choose Auto-bomb? Especially with Torpedo, a better designed Auto-bomb, in the line-up. I hope they buff it to allow remote, near-instant detonation when deployed. I'm tired of having my success rate with Auto-bomb be dictated exclusively by enemy players. I'd happily exchange having two active for that buff. A single player could have 10 active at a time and I'd still say the mediocre Sprinkler is the better choice. It is THAT awful.
Krak-on roller was the weapon I was most excited for way back when the splat 1 trailers were rolling in just because I loved Beakon and Kraken I am so happy to be able to play it again, but I'd be even happier if for whatever reason they gave Wiper another rushdown special with kraken because I neeeeeed to play that special is just so fun!!
I’m very worried if they aren’t giving it burst bomb… in my opinion that’s vital to the weapon. Torpedo would be “ok”, but nothing compares to burst :(
@@psychicjellyfish9466 Very true. It never asked for curling bomb. It kind of feels like the devs aren’t sure what to give the weapon so they often give it scraps….
@@chuchuraichu3329 Obviously Burst Bomb is the best bomb for L3 to have, but Torp is for sure the second best. For a mobile shooter like L3 that’s always a hair’s width away from killing, having a Torp to get that little extra bit of damage to tip the scales will do wonders for it.
Best video I've seen on the coming update so far, thank you for the summary Chara! Also congrats for 100k, I've been here for a while now and I was very happy to see that!!
I think the reason why their bringing so many shooters to the game is because they want to get all of the shooters out of the way so that they can focus on the other weapon classes in the game later
Im really happy for Krakens return, and even more excited for both my main weapons getting new alts, Rapid Blaster, and Tri Slosher! Really curious what kits they’ll get, would really love the new special on Rapid Blaster, I think they’ll be a good combo paired with an offensive Sub
You can’t tell me that the jukebox only changes the LOBBY music and not the IN-GAME music, I hate having to leave it up to random chance for one of my 5 favorites to play
Jesus i cant belive that u finnaly got 100k subs major congrats ive been a fan sinse 50k and u inspired me to be good :) and i very happy about the 2 new specials thanks for announcing them
Given that before the launch of the last season they didn't show every weapon in the promotional material and that we got thirteen weapons last season, I'm hoping that Gold Dynamo and New Squiffer are just waiting to get shadow dropped. I could just be huffing copium though
I'd be okay with crab on rapid deco, but only if crab gets a significant nerf. My idea for a nerf would l be to give it the same downtime kraken had in splatoon 1 where you couldn't shoot your weapon. With people having been upset at crab getting a slight slap on the wrist before and with Kraken coming back with the same downtime, I think it's a good idea
I almost wonder if the heavy shooter focus on the new kits is the devs treating them like a control group in a way with the new specials, if they're comfortable with NZAP putting the new super chump on it lets them get feedback without the main weapon coloring that as much
I feel like the catalog for this season may be a splatoon 1 and 2 themed catalog It's not completely off the table since the splatoon 1 victory animation is confirmed as well as old gear like the corocoro gear returning aswell Even more likely thats it's based around the old games since inkopolis is coming back
i would be shocked if l3d didn’t have kraken in any form, but particularly burst/kraken, as with this being a splatoon 1 throwback patch in a way it makes more sense to me to reference l3d’s first kit of burst/kraken over the second kit with inkjet
Honestly I'm so hoping Kraken either has a insane object dmg multiplier or stack really well with object shredder It being able to go in to destroy wave with no danger or even to shred through crabs would be so nice to have, whilst also giving it a purpose other than being a panic button
@@gregvs.theworld451 YESSS I hope it does it'd be so insane to have Also it would be so cool to actually combine specials like that, and not just throw them all out at the same time to push
Super Chump is a neat idea, but I feel like the "mask your teams jumps with a bunch of traps" thing is going to be way too much coordination for the average team to actually utilize, which unfortunately leaves it as "slower, less reliable Wail/Missiles" and I'm not sure how valuable a zoning tool that you just shoot to get rid of will be.
did yall not notice the new bow in the fresh season picture teaser. the character on the right has it and it was shown to be a bow in the artbook teaser
I was hoping this season would finally give me my Gold Dynamo back but clearly not. (I really hope its kit is as close to Splat1 as possible, ie. splat bombs and inkstrike so triple inkstrike. I’d cry if it got that old kit back!) I am very happy that Kraken is back though! So exciting!
