Why the WHOLE Weapon Kit Matters (Splatoon 3) 

I think another interesting point that could be brought up is how the sub/special works with the weapon. A great example is the Sorella Tent. By itself, Ink mines + trizooka is a strange combo that would seem rather weak, and at first a lot of people thought that the more offense-oriented kit on the tent was quite strange - but the way both these synergize with the main weapon makes it much better than initially thought ('much better' being potentially maybe viable in some cases lmao). The ink mines not only help the Tent's defensive abilities, but the tent also allows more aggressive placement of the ink mines - not to mention location can help both visibility with the tent and allowing an easier time to pick fights, an important skill with Tent, and the mines can also help a lot in combat too - making flanking around the tent risky The trizooka is also amazing for it - a big issue with Trizooka is how vulnerable it is - and the shield launch helps a lot with that. Not to mention that the trizooka gives the tent a much stronger ability to take space and go on offensive pushes, something that holds it back a lot, and it also helps against Crab Tank, a huge threat for Tent. The Sorella tent is a great example of kit synergy - Both the sub and special makes the weapon better - Giving the weapon more offensive power, and very notably, how the weapon itself works makes the rest of the kit better in return - opening up new ways to use ink mines, and covering a huge weakness of Trizooka.

and then there undercover brella that has both of these problems

As someone who religiously played a lot of Flingza and Squeezer in Sp2 and leaned heavily in Luna Blaster in Sp1, seeing S Blast was a dream come true. Then it came out and somehow exceeded those expectations. I don't even mind the kit anymore, I've found it helps immensely for painting, baiting, and distracting enemies so you can get a clear shot

Rapid pro deco also showcases this well imo. While wail is a very good special for it, the marker really made it look bad, especially with the main weapon being just ok. Despite this, I think the marker is what makes the RPD the RPD. The damage it does is the same as an indirect, so it allows you to do the same combos rapid pro would know faster and/or at longer ranges.

I absolutely loved the s-blast! It is incredibly fun moving from range blaster, especially if using it's tech properly...

Great video

Great video also gg your s blast was really good in splatuber showdown

Jacobcats upload I’m doing a lil jig rn

Great streamer and youtuber

Why is this video so good

really good video!! it's funny to me how splatoon 3 has some weapon kits that are perfect for weapons sometimes but also some that are just downright bad (like: sloshing machine vs snipewriter)

A bit unrelated but what if there were official tier lists like Pokémon smogon, and there are different formats to allow weaker weapons to be used

U deserve more subs

You almost got it. It's about the synergy within main weapon, the subweapon and the special *within the context of the Anarchy mode*. Can Dynamo and Sprinkler have good synergy? When can Sprinkler help Dynamo do defense, which is what its role should be? On Tower Control, Dynamo can stick Sprinkler on the tower to stop big rushes or serve as bait for those big swings. If kits matter, how would you justify the N-Zap 89? Why did Nintendo do two kits if one is clearly better?

While these videos do deepen my understanding of splatoons metagame, i just play funny aerospray most of the time or bathtub

babe wake up new jacobcats video dropped

snipewriter being 200p with dynamo kits makes even less sense

Wake up babe, new jacobcats vid.

Something to note about the Glooga Dualies is that it can thriw a sub weapon betwwenn dodge roll. So it can "Dodge roll, 2 shot, throw wall, dodge 2 shot" and things like that. It's not that useful with wall, but a future kit might be able to play around that. Hopefully. Probably. Desirably.

Dynamo got splatbomb and superchump yikes

Neo Luna blaster is pretty fun for me and I've made the kit work well enough to get me into S+ rank. I wouldn't say it's a top teir weapon but the kit itself has a pretty nice synergy with Luna blaster having a 2 shot indirect and a 1 shot direct kill but the lack of range doesn't help with it's mobility so the fizy bomb helps with movement while providing some chip damage and stamper has a range mode to help from far away plus it can be used to get into the enemy team. I at first didn't like how its kit sounded but I've come to love playing it with it's kit though I'd probably replace stamper with something else that does a similar thing.

This is the most true video ever, people dont take into account team play and synergy kits can have with their weapon and just write stuff off just bc something doesnt have the best bomb/special in the game when it's so much more than that. Just bc a sub or special is seen as the best in the game doesnt mean that it could just be slapped onto any weapon and work stupidly well with it, you gotta take into account how well it'd synergize with said weapon and team

I'm sad that all of the weapons I mained in 2 have trash kits now.

Man i found your channel from a paragraph you left on an ink resistance video and i can say you have earned a sub, i really enjoy your content now im wondering if you could give any tips or tricks for a rising hydra player?

you would LOVE the sploosh

Dynamo the epitome of Big Boy with Hello Kitty heart 😆. Big but kinda weak. I still love it though. Very satisfying when i can use it to one shot woomies with horizontal flick

5:30 As a base .96 Gal main you’re absolutely right but it still hurts to hear it said.

I can't give much actual competitive insight, but from my playtime I feel the nautilus is kind of hindered in its ideal playstyle by its sub and special not really assisting it too much. I feel it could use burst bomb or maybe fizzy bomb for added mobility, and then something like trizooka or triple inkstrike for added range! I have no idea if these are true things or good ideas, but its how i feel about my favorite weapon currently

This basically illustrates the problem I have with the CDS vs the VDS. DS main problems are the ink efficiency and the fire rate, and by giving the CDS kit beacon and chumps which don't help it with either they effectively nerfed the weapon by forcing you to play QR with the CDS kit and leaving almost no room for ink saver main subs

currently paining to see the octobrush kit

Ik and that is why pro chara should absolutely use PAINBRSUH FOR 3 MONTHS NOW >:(

bro can you please do the history of range blaster ive always wanted to see that one!

Luna Neo is actually still goated

damn. really been ripping into us dynamo mains lately lol

Goo tuber

Thoughts on fully customizable weapon load outs?

Where did you get that image for the meta gear for dynamo?

Do you wanna know something hilarious? N-Zap 85 was top tier in Splatoon 2, sitting at 200p. What did they do to tone back this almighty top tier support in 3? They…gave it a cheaper special than Dynamo, something that was mid or bottom tier for the ENTIRETY of Splatoon 2 after being nerfed into the ground for being good in Splatoon 1. …I hate this god damn weapon so much…

Would be pretty cool if every other class experienced the same mountain of green up arrows that shooters got at the end of s2 for some reason...except splatanas those things are still overtuned as heck, comp players need to suck up they can't spam burst and remember the weapon literally has the burst combo built in.

I main shooters and I really love N-zap, maiming it in splat 2 and 3.

the nautilus has the same problem as s blast, it has an amazing main weapon but bad kit

Once super chumps get the suffiecient buffs it needs I can see Nzap 89 also being in the meta soon

I hate it when people say that the wapon is bad just because it has sprinkler, yes it is bad but i mean i main (pretty wired i know) Airbrush RG/Arospay RG (for amerika) and i dont think its bad. Yes sprinkler sucks a bit but the kit aint bad, so yea dont say its bad because you dont like a part of it. but i think Airbrush PG needs a bobmb when its relased and i would like Kraken or Trisooka for a special if you agree or disagree just comment, i just would like some other opinions for my wapon

Theoretically, If Splatoon had customizable kits, then only the main weapon would matter. Subs and specials would still matter but to a lesser extent, because at least the main weapon can no longer be held back by a bad sub or speacial decided by Nintendo.

Petition for dynamo roller to be 160p and then finally the game will be good

I don't think dynamo's kit is bad, it's just outclassed and a terrible main weapon. Sure, it would be better with angle shooter/burst bomb, but gold dynamo won't save the main weapon. It is a total shame coz it is such a cool weapon smh

my tinfoil hat theory is that they knew s-blast would be broken on release so they gave it a garbage kit and it's gonna get nerfed hard as soon as it gets a second kit that isn't crap
