Custom Hydra Splatling First Impressions 

You're omitting the fact that the splattercolor screen is a visual smokescreen for the Hydra itself. This could only be somewhat decent if the devs wake up and finally make the screen see-through for your own team, which should have always been the case.

As a hydra, I like Auto/Booyah better.

"A bit on the slower side" As he talks about the slowest weapon in the game.

The bots think the hydras an actual gun 😂

I'm not that upset it got screen but i cant lie i really wanted big bubble. at least this kit feels like it had some thought put in to it. i was half expecting to wait so long for it and get an ai generated kit.

I used Cydra a bit in Splatoon 2 and one of my favourite things about it was placing a mine where I was standing as soon as someone approached, then get at least a couple hits on them. Multiple times, if they managed to splat me, those few hits + the mine going off were enough to return the favour. Not very viable, but funny.

What an intro 😂

My two filthy casual cents: I'd like this kit if you could actually see through your own Screen, lol. Screen is cool on paper, but in practice, I feel like it's as much of a hindrance for your team as it is for the enemy team. Yeah you can use it as cover to move without being seen, but the other team can also move without you seeing them, so...kinda seems like a wash? I dunno. I guess it depends on the placement and the map and how coordinated your team is, etc., but I'm just not sold on Screen in general, and definitely not on a slow backline weapon that wants to see what it's shooting at.

As ink splashed over the intro i giggled to the melody of the little squiddy tune. Good opening

I mean I get why they gave it Ink Mine because it had Ink Mine in Splatoon 2, but Squid Beakon was RIGHT THERE. Squid Beakon/Big Bubbler would have been an absolutely perfect kit. Screen is just too problematic both in its design and how it affects certain people.

I misread your thumbnail as poking fun at the low effort of Custom's main weapon reskins. Forgive me, mister Teacher, for I have sinned.

RU-vid needs to do something about these bots. Great video!

I love the start of your videos sooo much

Im slightly disappointed by this kit, but at least us splatling players still have edit nouveau to look forward to this season.

Yeah, people don't really think about the kit that much and just go with the crowd. I'm very rarely upset about the kit of a weapon.

Hydra custom out the splatling screen in my ink mine?! 😂 Your mother?!

I really wish they would buff color screen so that way the team that has the same color ink can like see through the screen make it like translucent or something so it's still kind of hard to see through it but not impossible like the way it is now it kind of feels like it just kills the backline weapon since there are very few positions I can think of on most maps that would put you higher than the screen and if you're not able to see over the screen you're just kind of shooting wherever which is a waste of ink so that would at least be a decent buff to make it not kind of kill your own backline weapons

Honestly I kinda was hopping for devy Cameo But i do wonder if it will be a cheap special, like 170 or 180

Omg I love your editing and the special effects.

Bro I'm a hydra main, yo thumbnail ain't fooling me >:V

why is there the splatoon 1 hydra symbol on the thumbnail :0?

gem what is the fit😭😭

I still think screen on hydra is pretty bad because you're blocking your own view as a backline, but at this point I'm not sure if it's worse than ink mine on this kit. Ink mine _should_ be really good with hydra and this kit's saving grace, but they also put it on ballpoint. Ballpoint is just objectively stronger than hydra, so the only reason you pick this kit is if you either really like hydra or really want screen over ink vac or booyah bomb for some reason

i would of have liked a wall and rain special for hydra but its okay

I'm a hydra main, and I'm not really disappointed in the kit itself. what I am disappointed in, is the stupid long wait to get here

Should have been bubble.....

i noticed...

Why does every non-hydra player I've seen insist that screen is good for it? It's weak, power wise, and not fun for a number of reasons.

It could’ve been inkjet😭😭😭

Hydra main here, since Splatoon 2. I'm highly interested in this set piece. Positioning will be crucial.

So, with Hydra, you either have a bad Sub with a great Special or a great Sub with a bad Special.

I was hoping for chumps or missiles, so splattercolor screen is ok- at least it’s a throw and forget special- come to think of it, I would have taken rain too… bright side? They didn’t give it splashdown or reef, so there’s that

Splatoon 3 keeps disappointing me. I haven't played since the last splatfest and I'm kinda tired of the devs giving us half assed kits. I was REALLY looking forward to the Hydra's second kit. I waited over a year and a half for THIS!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Fuck this game. I'm gonna go play Paper Mario TTYD. 3:33 Gem I think you're forgetting something. The splatcolor screen obscures YOUR TEAMS vision as well! It doesn't work as a smokescreen if NO ONE can see thru it. If the team who put it down could see thru it, I can see why you would make that argument. But it doesn't do that, so you're just going to be blindly shooting inside of it hoping to hit something. I'm sorry my guy but you are huffing copium. The ink mines are fine but that's not much of a compliment. When half of the weapons in this game only have half a kit to work with, that doesn't make yoir case very strong.
