We got a few new hands on deck to help out with videos. Please welcome Oliy and Kelkador to the channel.

One thing about the Drizzle kits is that the specials feel like they were mixed around, like most of the bad kits just need a different special

Dread Wringer has definently shown its strengths to be: Inking the ground, Ledge poking, and general team support

Something that just does not get talked about enough is how cool Gold Dynano looks. Like bro, it’s so golden and shiny. Anyone wielding it is most definitely a G O D!

Message to all heavy edit users: if you dont full charge, you fire for longer. Because of the firerate mechanic, a full charge (2 seconds) fires for 3 seconds, but a partial charge you fire for twice as long as you charge, so you can go to almost 4 seconds, so be willing to use partial charges.

honesty even though they’re bad comp-wise, I really appreciate that they made some of the worse kits (blob deco, custom goo, etc) very fun. I don’t really think every single weapon needs to have a comp niche, if they’re just fun like those ones I’m happy

I really hope Nintendo buff Dynamo mid-season. Gold Dynamo has so much potential, especially in zones, but the main is just weak. Its paint is that inconsistent and its kill is unreliable. If it got even a small paint or damage buff, Dynamo would be a real threat on Zones

I had a feeling Heavy Edit was gonna be the winner here. The weapon has been introduced in just the right time with just the right kit and the dps helps it a lot. Very curious to see how it places later on

I think the Octobrush Nouveau could be SO MUCH BETTER if all the maps had flanks like the 2 new ones. Playing it on clam blitz in those maps feels amazing, and I agree, flounder will go hard with it! The same kind of applies to Dynamo, but it's definitely more of a skill ceiling. Great video, and good job to the editors! Looks different!

Sprinkler has been surprisingly neat for the Inkline Tri-stringer. The main weapon is ink efficient enough that you can afford to spend the ink on it even with the low impact it has.

I loved the metroid prime background music

I think that the next patch the heavy edit splatling is gonna get nerfed because, basically, this weapons is simply the mini splatling with the Hydra but on steroids

Heavy edit scares me, and the fact that it one charge shredds crab is terrifying

I hope Gootuber get a buff soon, it would be really cool to see my main have some use in competitive play

As a goo tuber fan, what you said about the custom goo tuber is fairly true. I feel like stamp would've been a better special for bamboozler or squiffer due to their fast charge times

how is sloshing machine #4? you seemed to only list negatives when talking about that weapon so i just wanted to hear some of its strengths and reasons for it being high on the list

8:09 that clip was beautiful 😢

I think angle shooter is the perfect sub for bloblobber. If you're good at aiming, it helps you finish off enemies. This is especially useful for a weapon that has very low speed projectiles as it decreases the amount of dodgeable blobs you need to hit. Plus, bloblobber players seem like they'd get the hang of killing around the corner with the sub and that's kinda scary to think about. Anyways, it seems fun and I'm gonna try it out!

I’m still shocked they didn’t give Gold Dynamo Booyah Bomb. Maybe they’ll give Tempered Dynamo Autobomb and Boohyah (referencing it’s kit in Splatoon 1 of Seeker, Inkstrike)

heavy edit has successfully converted me to splatlings~ even if they nerf it to hell it has done its job of getting me to try something new!

I like the kits this season, less completely bad ones, a lot more fun ones.

I’ve always wanted to use Tri stringer ever since I saw it in the trailer, but couldn’t really do that with the original kit. So I’m very glad we got this new kit, because it offers a back line/support weapon that works very well for Splatzones

Sort of a side note but good call by the editor for using the Metroid Prime OST for the vid, fits well

Can you make your next video a tutorial on the new brella? I’m new to the weapon class and I would like to learn how to properly use the kit with the weapon.

I've been playing a ton of Dread Wringer and I think the thing it needs is a damage buff solely at point-blank range - as you mentioned, it is really easy to run down. If it was able to one-shot within melee range it'd be much better at dealing with pressure, and it really needs the get off me tool. It's not easy to hit one slosh when a splattershot is darting around you, so requiring it to hit three is just unwinnable. And like, you're telling me this massive amount of ink deals the same amount of damage at maximum range as if I dump it directly in someone's face?

Tbh. I really like the new blob and I thing angle markers/shooters are underrated. It causes my enemies to panic when I hit them with one which will allow me and my team to target more easily. Very good on tower to especially with kraken. And I have gotten at least 20 kills with line. Basicly a lower dmg snipewriter in your pocket.

Idk if it’s just me but u love these ranking videos. I like seeing a different perspective on things as I’m not that good of a player

Heavy Edit is the fastest any new weapon had become my favorite, and I can't wait to continue learning and growing with it!

Custom Goo Tuber is my favorite of the new weapons. There's just something about it that clicked with me.

i tested the new stringer and it is way to good at painting, like holy i did not think it was that good but having 1500-2000 paint is sooo good

Tbh. I really like the new blob and I thing angle shooters are underrated. It causes my enemies to panic when I hit them with one which will allow me and my team to target more easily. Very good on tower to especially with kraken

a bit of a niche thing, but what i love most about the heavy edit is that its based on fountain pens. the black body with the clasp and red circle on top is a clear reference to the TWSB eco pen models, while the ammo itself are generic fountain pen refills. cool stuff!

Your remarks on how heavy edit is played and it's range in particular helped me explain to my splatoon group why I didn't quite feel right when playing it despite them all saying before the update dropped that they'd never see me with anything but the heavy edit, I'm a heavy splatling player

I've been waiting for this 🛐

LESSSSSSGOOO, as a huge brelka fan and main I find it great to see my fav weapon and class get to top 3 and how it’s FINNALY fixed and buffed and a good kit along with new tent kit

The video we’ve all been waiting for since the new season started 😌

Even if gold dynamo isn’t the best, it’s still the one we all needed and is the best in all our hearts

I feel ashamed that it took me watching this video three times to realize what song was playing in the background. Love the content, man.

great metroid prime music, I love The theme of tallon surface. I really like your videos by the way

Gold dynamo is better than Vdynamo in my opinion. Sure, Vdynamo has Tacticooler, but it also has sprinkler. It does not have a way to get in or apply long range pressure. Splat bomb solves both of those issues. While chump might not be the best special, it still helps the main weapon and it keeps the support aspect that Vdynamo also had

I honestly do like the hedit, even tho I am pretty bad at splatlings in general so this was kind of an introduction for me.

Love the music choices for this video

I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t talk about how Point Sensor and Zooka works/doesn’t work on the Neo Slosh (you do say there are other Zooka options but outside of getting them faster you don’t explain why), but what you say about its playstyle makes sense. From a casual standpoint though, I think the kit works well. Point sensor lets it arc shots over walls or cover easily considering you know exactly where to aim, and Zooka works for long distance pressure and the Machine can combo off an indirect hit

Metroid! Love the music choice mate

I legit think Ballpoint Nouveau is better than Ballpoint Vanilla. I really don't like Fizzy on Vanilla, I'd rather charge my gun than my bomb, and I still don't like using Inkjet even after the buffs. I remember when so many thought it was a bad kit until Inkjet got buffed and then it was everywhere. It seems to me like Vanilla is more about playing Inkjet than playing Ballpoint, and between short range paint and Fizzy it's very good at that. However, Nouveau feels like I'm actually playing Ballpoint. I love placing Mines ahead of me to help with short range fighting, overall it's the best weapon that currently has Mine since it can place them in more aggro positions that E-Liter won't and Rapid doesn't want to. I also really love Vac to give my team safe jumps and help push almost anything. Of course this is just my experience in Solo and Team Open and, at the very least, is my opinion as a Splatling player.

I like the editing on this one

ive been playing heavy and, with run speed on it it is an absolute beast

Opening Gambit on Neo plus ninja squid plus stealth jump can really steamroll a game if you can manage to get enough kills to keep the buffs going for the whole game

I NEEDED this

Dread Wringer has actually been one of my best weapons so far. I found running ink saver, bomb saver, and swim speed is really good for the kit and makes it easier to use and less likely to be run down? Idk im not a pro or anything but running this makes it fun to zip around and play as bait while picking off team members one by one.

I’m gonna be honest here With all the object based subs in the game, as well as the map design we have going on, I think splashdown would be a solid returning sub.

Based Metroid music Some bow players that I’ve talked with have basically said how the new kit is pretty inferior to the original which is what I’ve said. vBow has mist which while not an amazing special, sprinkler isn’t either and mist allows you to slow enemies down while picking them off with your arrows and wail, (which just got that great new buff and makes the vanilla kit even better to play). With the specials, chumps I just don’t see as being any good still even with the buff. You’re supposed to “combo with the chip damage”, but in the unlikely scenario that you hit with a chump explosion, it’s just going to kill, the timing for hitting with your arrows and a chump burst at the same time is just not happening it’s not a good point for a “combo option”. You can farm them all day, and it still won’t make a difference if they just get shredded immediately or just straight up ignored. And their only strong spot is in zones, other modes they really don’t work as well, wail is a special that can fit well into any mode. This kit really is failed potential.

I think dread wringer could legitimately get away with mist/ booyah as a kit. dread is almost closer to something like bamboo, but it trades some speed for better paint and far bigger hitboxes. mist could allow it to go for more consistency at the range it want to be at and booyah is booyah, so it could easily capitalize off even a bit of chip from booyah and force the opponent to be in far worse spots

I think naut outclasses heavy edit in the main weapon dept because naut has slightly longer range and better mobility with charge hold. Edit can’t even recharge while firing like ballpoint can.

I really like the new octobrush kit,it has beacon that is a lot useful to get faster in the fight after diyng and storm is more fun then zipcaster.

The blob angle shooter argument is very true, but even if you do run one sub of Bomb defense, it’s still helps with kills from far range, short range, and helping with close range fights. kraken helps with forcing itself into areas to hold, or just using it as a kraken

I really want to try and be at least decent with the (Sorella) Brella, but I'm really bad with Ink Jet and, well, aiming in general. I feel like not landing a good shot with the Brella means you're going to have a hard time getting a splat.

The editor was really feeling the metroid prime music today and i am not complaining

I still can't wrap my head around what the Gold Dynamo's playstyle is supposed to be with this kit. Splat Bomb takes too much from it's ink tank, and Super Chump does nothing for it. If it's supposed to be a painting-focused roller, we have that now with the Big Swig.

Watching Oliy go from Bamboo propaganda to Chara editor is the wildest whiplash I have seen in this community

being a die-hard Bloblobber fan (and player) myself, Blob Deco has a marker and that marker is just better off treat as Point Sensor than a combo tool. It can combo, but only if the target is stationary for long time. Despite said above, Marker can be used as a finisher if you hit 2-3 blob hits but your main weapon is way too slow up close thus you can quickly throw one to finish them off or at least mark them when you are down. as for Kraken, I wish it has a different special than Kraken. It sort of works but even then Ultra stamp would cover more area of denial and can long range throw which is what Blob REALLY wants over a Kraken with only melee range.

6:51 knew i recognized this match somehow, i was the rapid pro LMAO

i was ready to try heavy edit just because it looks cool. just a bonus that its gonna be meta lmao

I feel like you could make a solid comp around just the new weapons Heavy Edit Sorrlla Brella Dread Wringer Ballpoint Nouveau Dread wringer gives the team a lethal bomb, is able to combo off of everything else here, as well as use reef without the cost of dying because of cooler. Ballpoint Nouveau is a lot more backline focused than the vanilla kit and the extra support vac gives the team is very nice as well as ballpoint being ballpoint. Sorella Brella is a great inkjet option that can push in farther than normal and also makes for a great partner to Dread Wringer as well as the shield giving it a little more survivability to contest points for just a little longer Heavy Edit is great at helping the team push up and stay up with great pressure and cooler output. Feel free to give me any feedback on the team as well as alter it if you want. I really enjoy trying to make teams without shooter because they can be very unique and tackle situations in different ways.

i am so excited ro play brella for the first rime with the new kit. been wanting to play it i have been maining tristringer for the most part and i haven't been able to play the new update.

Ima be honest, after playing heavy edit I can absolutely see why it feels like nautilus. Only difference between the two aside from kits and charge time is that I feel like heavy edit is more prone to getting ambushed if they don't expect it. It often can feel harder to react to. Maybe that's just a skill issue I have though.

Imho custom goober got really synergistic kit. Fizzy gives mobility goober desires, ultra stamp gives option if you got ambushed and also a ranged option, goober can also play around the ultra stamp to get in. But the thing stops it from being just viable competitively is that it's balancing is just bad

Even if the shield is a bit unreliable, you can still use it to protect inkjet landings, and that has worked for me most of the time.

YOOO diggin the metroid prime music

I really think blob deco would be mostly fixed if the line left by line marker itself did like, 10-15 damage. 10 damage would still be countered by bomb defense, but it would mean that anyone who has been hit even by 3 blobs would have to avoid any lines left by the sub weapon, which would emphasize blob's ability to control space and restrict movement.

I've been waiting so long for Gold Dynamo to get the bomb back, and now that it's here I've gotten so good at sprinkler/cooler that idk if I'll even play gold that often.

I think Gold Dynamo will really like special generation, the more you can use chump, the more you get that tank refill

i'm not a competitive player, so...grain of salt. tablespoons, even but for line marker, i really can't agree with "it doesn't have a sub for reliable damage". if you practice it enough, line marker is one of the _most_ reliably damaging subs. it's only limited by your aim (and corners). the clip at 2:50 is odd to me because blob's being portrayed as helpless, but i've been able to hit back-to-back line markers in that position. and, since the dapples stepped in enemy ink, they'd probably be splatted by marker even if they were running sub resistance

4:02 that clip was insane wtf

The fact that the only weapons to beat Sorella Brella on this list were BP and Heavy Edit is a sign. We might see a new peak for Brella, if it can get some better damage and a more consistent shield, it’ll be perfect

Imagine waiting a year for a new bloblobber kit, and this is what you get :(

The Metroid music goes hard

I think people are overrating Heavy Edit/Examiner/Corrector a bit. Yes, it has Mini's run speed and a high fire rate, but the weapons flaws and competition are rarely mentioned. Until it's fully charged, when compared to Mini, you're trading dmg for duration of fire. It takes 2 seconds for the weapon to fully charge, but you don't have that much range. Because it can't charge hold or recharge, when forced out, it has to repeat that dance all over again. The charge time combined with the range can make fighting long range adversaries a tall order. On top of that, because it barely 4 shots, Examiner has to play even closer than its range value suggests. Nautilus on the other hand, charges more quickly, doesn't need to charge the first ring to have its max range and has those aforementioned charging quirks. All in all, like Mini and Naut, Corrector is a good main weapon and I believe that just like them, it needs a good kit, or at least a good special to truly shine and I disagree with the notion that its fundamentally a broken weapon that needs to/will get nerfed next patch. It just so happens that Edit has Tacticooler, AKA a great special a shorter range splatling needs to be really popular

I’m a brush main and I have been playing the new Octobrush Neauvu (yes I don’t remember how to spell Neuveau) non stop. I absolutely love it. But yeah to be fair I don’t play ranked and I could only imagine the struggle. I can actually farm storm pretty decently and I make Beakon work. I definitely wanna try it in splat zones tho.

I’m so sad that the new Octobrush was ruined. I mean the first Kit already is decent, but I really wanted kraken here. And no bomb doesn’t work for me on short range weapons

I think goo is in a silly spot, I picked it up while license farming my weapons. I found it really fun and it felt strong, but i think that's it's just because nobody uses it so nobody knows how to play against it. Its either that or I can just hit shots because i played a ton of vcharger in 2 and 3.

If Dead Ringer I mean Dread Wringer had burst or maybe line marker it could be good as burst indirects deal 15 I think and directs deal 30

Early gang Agreed that the new kits are a mixed bag, some push their vanilla kits completely out of relevance (even if they already were) while others just don't cut it with how their main weapons are atm. Most have been quite fun casually tho, they're doing pretty well on that front with the kit design.

Sorella Brella sounds like a good kit for me to learn to properly use my sub and special then...

I feel like they want Goo Tuber to use it’s charge hold to get up close and personal, and then retreat to charge again. With this kit I think shows that, Fizzy to create a line of paint to swim up in and Stamp to be an up close option after the shot. Issue- I don’t think Goo will ever play that way since it’s just a fundamentally flawed playstyle to try and encourage, I don’t see any amount of balence changes, kits, or reworks getting it to actually play that way.

This vidoe's background music caught me off guard cause I was JUST playing metroid prime again

Even is blue tuber (bloober) isnt comp viable it sure is funny as hell and fizzy combos are more reliable than torp combos

Wasn’t expecting Metroid prime music.

Metroid prime music in the background W

OrthusOmega Here!!! We were just playing turf war... im sorry for the losses... im trying my hardest to learn brush

We never get to the “I was watching Television “ part of the song when it gets played in the outro.

Quality season even with the lack of content.

as a casual stringer main, its hard for me to get used to the new kit. i like the vannila kit more because i can combo toxic mist, killer wail and half charged shots on a group to get a few killsbut idk im not a pro player :)

Every weapon in this new season is at least fun to play, and thats great, about what I want out of new weapons

I'm praying for brella to finally be good, please

We’ve got to call attention to the clip at 4:02

I'm thinking of the dread ringer being the bamboozler of sloshers

Now that I think about it, I'm glad they buffed the dart to 40 damage cause whenever I wanna triple dart meme in turf war, bomb defense can't protect people anymore!

as someone who’s not horrible but not very good at the game, the gold dynamos and heavy edit splatlings have been a menace to me lmao, but whenever i keep getting shat on by a weapon it makes me want to play around with it so that’s the silver lining

Is it just me or would a splatana wiper pair well with burst bomb and tacticooler?
