I Made A NEW Splatoon 2 Account In 2021?! 

This is a really depressing video in the sense that it shows you exactly why it’s so hard to grow the scene in this game. The early game experience is total garbage and turns off a ton of players before they can even consider competitive.

Its so funny how chara is HARD WIRED to cancel splashdowns

Lol chara is just like "what? I'm a new player, I don't know what I'm doing" **casually cancels splashdown**

As someone who plays a lot of turf war, I can say that getting FOUR squid parties in a row is insanely rare

i found it so funny that Chara is so sweaty he didn’t know what a squid party was LMFAO

5:04 speaking of which, i convinced a friend to buy splatoon and the first turf war we had was a squid party lobby and he was like "why are all these people dancing and not playing the game it doesnt make any sense like arent u suppoused to paint the ground??" it was so funny😭

I hope they implement some sort of squid party mode in the future to prevent this it’s a good percentage of all turf war lobbies

Classic Inkling girl hairstyle is the best imo. Funny that you got paired up with two 99* players and 2 Japanese players too in your first match and you got a squid party too lol, basically that's Splatoon 2 in a nutshell.

As a player who only plays turf, you haven't seen anything yet. Turf war is fucking painful

That squid partying thing was so bizarre. I play Turf War a lot, not just Ranked, and I basically never run into a squid party group unless there's a disconnect, if there's a disconnect people tend to start partying but other than that I hardly ever come across it, even when I first started I never came across that, so the fact you came across it twice in a row was so strange. Also, a Level 2 player in noob gear cancelling Splashdowns is so cursed lol. Especially when lot of people starting out in lower level turf war probably don't even know you're not invincible during a Splashdown (I know I didn't when I first started, until the day I got shot out of the sky and was like "... o h .") so I bet that guy was so shocked LOL.

2:17 You don't have to buy the octo Expansión in every account. if you buy it in one switch all the accounts in that Switch should have the same DLC's that you have purchased.

To be fair to Marina, she doesn't want to out Octolings in case of some racism. That's why she's trying to push the news ahead of it.

epic smurf fact: if you grind through the first level of the hero mode (shouldn't take long at all), you can get an exp ticket in the world 2 overworld and another in the octopark level, which makes grinding turf to level 10 faster in the long run

ProChara: tries to get X in one week. Me who still hasn't reached it: 😃😃😃

As someone who probably plays more turf than ranked i can definitely say that it is NOT normal to get THIS MANY squid party lobbies lol

(This is when Splat2 was new to people when it first was gifted during Christmas) I remember how I use to show sympathy towards new people who started the game, I’d intentionally allowed myself to be splayed by them to boost their confidence that they took out someone of a highly lvl……then someone squidbagged me…..that sympathy died along with their chances of winning. 🙂

I’m so exited for the rest of this series, i cringed when Chara said “ -1 is low “ because i use -1.5 lol

This was a delight to watch, seeing you try to be a noob was just fantastic. And the fact that you break character /destroy everyone every 5 minutes was such gold. I can't WAIT for ranked it's gonna be an acid trip

What I've heard is that splatoon tries to match you up with players with a similar win/loss ratio when you first join the lobby (the first person/top name in the lobby is how they judge). I don't know what a new player has by default, but squid partiers probably have as close to even wins/losses as possible, since no one does anything.

I love watching you act like a new player and then literally three seconds later just sweeping the team before continuing to act like a new player.

5:45 you should ink the walls for that xD Lmao I seriously remember this happening 6 years ago when people played Splatoon for the first time and one of the questions they asked that if painting the walls count as inking turf or not

I know a lot of people that really hate Splatoon, and I wonder if this is why. Is the low level experience that bad? Outside of Splatfests, I very rarely, if ever do Turf War because I think the mode is extremely boring. I had no idea that people would ever actually go do squid parties in public lobbies. Maybe that's why so many people I know quit Splatoon super quickly after trying it out and hated it

10:26 the 0 ink person disconnected, they have a kill and tentamissles which can’t happen w 0 ink lol

I hope in the splatoon 3 they just give you all the weapons at an earlier level compared to having to wait like 2-3 months.

“ Competitive player decides to Smurf for Content” Sounds about right

"I'm going to try to get to X rank in one week." Shouldn't be too hard, most X rank players are glorified S+ players. Also, will you ever try a splatlocke like what Alphastar did?

4:30 The comrades are welcoming a smurf and I love it

chara i think ive discovered how matching works with this game for whatever reason it feels as though matching is based not on your level or overall playtime, but time owning the game itself i stopped playing for a long time after hitting 30 or so, and then now that ive started playing again ive seen players with movement and tech at the pro level, and constantly get lobbie full of very high level players where im the only one without a * its kinda annoying to deal with better in ranked but still a problem, turf is hell

You wanna look like a true Splatoon n00b? Got some tips for ya! 1 - Tunnel vision. HARD. Everything directly in front of your squid is The World. 2 - The concept of holding Fire while in Squid Mode is foreign. You must become a kid. Only then can you start shooting 3 - Every jump is a trial. _Every jump_ is a trial. 4 - Never use Specials strategically. The thought has barely crossed your mind. Use them because they're new and flashy. 5a - You shoot when you see the enemy. You shoot when you think you're close to the enemy. NEVER rely on the reticle... 5b - ...Unless you're a charger. Then ONLY rely on the reticle. And charge AFTER you painstakingly place the reticle on a player. 6 - Every map is BIG and FRESH and NEW! Proceed with great hesitance. NEVER cross into the enemy's side; That side is SCARY! :(

This entire video is what it feels like to play turf war these days XD

This was funny. I look forward to the next one. Can’t wait to see you play ranked and find a toxic player and end them.

8:29 wow that's satisfying to watch. I despise squid parties because they directly impact the game for everyone else by basically being a disconnect through choosing not to play.

I honestly love this type of content where chara just fucks around LMAO

Damn I feel a little bad for partying in turf now :( I guess I'll check if there are new players before I do now

This is gold when you just act all nooby then you go Ham on them 😂

To act like a baby player you gotta walk more and swim less

As somebody who helps friends into splatoon, I often have to make them throw three or four games and leave the lobby each time just to find some bad players Also, when you were playing like a baby player, you used squid form too much. Most new players literally just bomb and shoot till they're out of ink and never use squid form for movement Sidenote, I believe the turf war matchmaking bases your matches off of your win rate, so you got squid parties out the wazoo because you were being matched with others with low win rates

as a person that only plays turf war, solo q turfwar is basically just a mode where bored people go to squidparty, and im not complaining.

So excited for the rest of this! It was soooo fun to watch!

I also thought the first lines "Think you're too cool for school? Well, it's time to prove it in battle" were kinda cringy and a lame attempt from Nintendo to be hip, not to mention these lines have nothing to do with Splatoon's story or gameplay. Also love how it matched you with 99 star players on you very first match, classic Splatoon 2 matchmaking. Gotta love all of those Squid Parties too lol. Truly what the Splatoon 2 experience looks like.

This was such a funny video to watch. I look forward to the rest of the series, lmao. I feel like I remember playing against a Not Chara but I'm sure I wasn't playing turf during the rotation in the video. 🤔 Maybe I'm mistaken, unless this was an old recording and you already hit X rank or something.

turf isnt always like that, squid party lobbies are usually rare

I don't know a lobby of people standing around doing nothing isn't super innacurate for a splatoon 2 experience tbh it does give new players a taste for the player base 😶

7:00 BRO that was actually funny af AHAHAH

I think once you get to ranked if you are actually trying you will skip from C to B, B to A, A to S etc. Like if you are seriously way better than that rank it will skip the -/+ and put you to the next letter. So it should go fairly quickly. Your video shows how atrocious low level play is and how frustrating it can be for new players. I have an eight year old son who I play with sometimes and even when we get on the same team in turf we sometimes lose because we are basically 2v4, if not literally 2v4. In turf I always tell him the whole strategy is based on being alive for the last 20 seconds or so, that will win the battle like 90% of the time. Obviously there isn't a 'meme' mode but maybe there should be. Or not because then all the throwers and squidpartiers would go to the 'game' mode lobbies for funsies.

pearl becomes splatoon 3 sussy villian

I will 100% watch this series start to beginning

Bro if it wasn’t for this video (back in like 2020 during “the thing” and watching jaymoji) I don’t think I would’ve became a competitive player in s3 and kept following your channel and joins team. Thank you Chara

"Oh wait, I'm supposed to be bad" lol

Im loving this new content! Keep up these challenges.

I am so excited for the upcoming videos, as someone who made a smurf account to practice charger and not embarrass myself, I felt validated because I too laughed when I broke character to take a cocky newbie down a couple notches 🤣

Honestly I've never really had an issue with squid parties and don't entirely get why people hate them so much. It kinda just reminds me that overall this is funni squid game and i really shouldn't get so worked up about it, relaxing and having some fun just messin around with the other team. Though i have nothing even close to a competetive personality so that may be why

The way you use the camera when you’re serious- that in itself shows me that you’re a pro player lol

Honestly one of my favourite videos ever.

The pain when you just want to do a little bit of splatoon turf, and your only game is a squid party.

I'm surprised, cuz I never encounter this many squidparties

I have to say during launch I had a hard time with the game simply because I played Splatoon 1 so much. The changes were so weird, and it was hard to switch for a while. I came back to it sometime later and I had such a hard time leveling up even though I did adapt to it pretty quickly this time. I didn't have a hard time against the other team, I just felt like I had to carry my entire team most of the time. Even now I'm in X rank and have stayed there for some time but when it comes to the other modes I have a hard time finding a solid team to where I can actually rank up in those other modes.

I think maybe the reason why you barely get low level players is because it might be based on their win/loss ratio rather than level, its probably pretty impossible to find low level lobbies nowadays so maybe its just pairing you up with squid partiers that just dont win

oh god i was the jet squelcher at 11:36 and that ledge was literally the death of me 😭😭 sorry i rayed you 💀💀

Wtf I never get turf lobbies like this anymore, I miss them! Impromptu squid parties and you just keep rejoining the same lobby... idk why it’s so entertaining to me Especially now that I play ranked (badly), Turf War basically means “do whatever”

This was the most hilarious thing I've watched all day But it is only 7:00 in the morning...

Makes me think the level requirement for gear shops shouldve been like... level 2.

The real crime is that only Turf gets actual colors. Ranked is just Purple.

I legit couldn’t stop laughing, best video I have seen on Monday morning

The Jr bait on the shot and your laugh afterwards xDDDD

Dang, this must’ve taken so long to stream. And you ONLY got to level 5 LOL! Good luck on the challenge! I’m sure it’ll be a piece of cake!

Coming to this video after the Splatoon 3 direct It's great that they will let you skip playing turf to reach level 10 to unlock rank if you have save data in Splatoon 2 Now you don't have to grind in turf now if you wanna play rank immediately

This was one of my favs on switch, and I come back to it occasionally because it is my favorite shooter. I usually play ranked so I didn’t know how many people squid party.

I like how the instant you “ruin their fun” they instantly start running you down lol

Imagine getting in a lobby with a level one, thinking to yourself "we're about to win so hard" just to have your entire team wiped by that very same level 1

The hard part of climbing on a second account, having to fork another $20 just to do this. But doing challenges to yourself like a Splatlocke or limiting yourself to specific weapons can make the rank climb more engaging. I recently did a ranked climb from C- to X by only using Brellas, and it was hard.

Dude was pretending to be stupid so hard he legit forgot what he was doing I love this guy

"hey roller wanna be friends :D" * shoots at him * *"that's it."* starts beating the shit out of the other team

When I got the game in 2018, I didn’t encounter this many squid parties in the early levels.

This video is Chara trying to act like a noob and then giving up

8:16 BRO THAT OCTOLING THAT HAD THE USERNAME GIRLBOSS WAS ME😭🙏

1:10 Octo speed runs don’t start until after the octo character creation screen (at which point you can already change the sensitivity)

Love how well you were able to fake being a noob! The only reason I know that that’s what they do is because my little siblings play the game every now and then. How did you know?

You forgot the “low ink” noob thing :P Where they try to throw a bomb, but fail 5 times, try to shoot but fail for a whole 10 seconds. Etc

“Mom said it’s my turn on the Splatoon” Also missed opportunity to make your name “NoobChara” instead of ProChara

That’s really weird, I mainly play turf but have only run into about 3 squid party. I guess Australia is more competitive...

Squid parties are dumb, but i just leave them alone now and just paint. If they attack me, well, they’re dead.

ngl Chara you throw the bombs too fast to be a baby, they always seem to deliberate where theyre going to throw it

*Enemies declines friendship with Chara* Chara: So you've chosen death?

The reason why you saw the octo expansion stuff is that the game still lets you access the DLC on other profiles if the main account for the switch has the DLC purchased

how did the zap in the last match get 0 points when they killed someone AND used two missiles?

well honestly most inklings not knowing what octolings are makes sense since they thought they went extinct after the war

In turf war there is a lot of squid party's when I join lobby's and I party with them

Hey! I was wondering… should i still get this game for christmas?? I was debating on getting a crash bandicoot game or splatoon 2 and just can’t decide! Please respond!!

Sheesh i can’t believe ur doing this u cld do it

New subscriber here what a great video

6:11 I’m doing so much, was relatable pretending to be a beginner player is hard😢😅

Nice video Chara!

HOW DID YOU GET THE RED AND GREEN V-NECKS IVE WANTED THAT FOR SO LONG

Sir what was that roller section, a true beginner would never pick it up off if the ground

Squid party become pretty annoying when you just want to play the game

i think that low levels have a lot of parties because of people who party have low skill level, and then it places u in them when ur new

I just realized Marina probably has flashbacks when she sees the octoling hairstyle

9:46 that moment the level 2 player has more kills than the other players combined.
