which of these weapons is your favorite?

And yet, even with all these new weapons that could be added into the game, Brellas will still not get buffed

I NEED MORE WHIMSICAL WEAPONS !! It's one of the best parts about Splatoon honestly, such a creative theme for a game, so I loveee seeing people make up new ones. I'm really enjoying this so far!

I have an idea for a new Brella-type weapon without a canopy: the PROPELLA! It’s basically a giant propeller that has been modified to shoot ink while it’s not spinning. It would have the same range and fire rate as the Tenta Brella, but less ink spread, and a harsher damage falloff. Press and hold the ZR button and it’ll start spinning. After about a second it’ll be at full speed and generate a large stream of wind in front of the user. This can be used to block attacks from the front, but it will push away any opponent caught in the wind. The closer you are to the user, the stronger the effect. It’ll have a slight pushback effect on the user too, but you can cancel it out by holding forward. If an enemy touches the propeller while it’s at full speed, it’ll splat them instantly with a full 120 damage, though that’ll be tricky to pull off due to the wind mechanic. Downsides are that using it in Wind Mode will be extremely ink-hungry, eating through a full tank in about 5 or 6 seconds. The propeller would also take a full second to stop spinning, preventing you from swimming during that time. Though you can still shoot if you have enough ink. High risk, high reward. Sub is Curling Bomb and Special is Ink Storm.

Well, now I'm just sad that I can't use these super cool weapons. You guys managed to make make the gimmicks of these weapons so interesting, I feel like I could genuinely main any of them!

This man's creativity is off the charts, not only with the weapon concepts, but also the presentation. It was fun to see you all making these!

honestly both the gumdrop splatling and the splatana marker have great designs but i am in LOVE with the zap blaster after having used it for goldeneye on the wii

18 minutes of fun and interesting combos, didn’t want this video to end

The effort in this video is amazing! The animation is great and the way you guys talk with each other makes it feel like you’re all sitting together recording. Keep up the great work!

for the feather brush I feel like instead of when you're zipping around with it instead of running behind it like the other brushes you could get on it and the tail end of it (the feathers) would be at an angle down so it still gives that thin line like the other brushes and is close to the ground. I think that would make sense with it being the fastest since you don't actually have to run, and it would make sense with the whole flying gimmick (without actually making it fly.) plus I think seeing somebody zip around like a witch on the battle field would be hilarious

Brushes really need more weapons in its arsenal and I would be so happy to use these brushes provided in this video.

Here's my pitch: The *Splatana X!* It's based off of the legendary sword Excalibur and foam swords. Though it consumes a lot of ink and has sub-par projectile range, it makes up for that with more range with the slash, a slower yet longer reaching dash range, and definitely more damage. With Suction Bombs to push enemies towards you and Kraken Royale for mobility and pressuring your opponents, you'll be sure to be the king of the battlefield. Just watch out for anyone that's remotely faster than you.

I have one objection, the tidy-up roller should have ink vac to suck up enemy ink, then the firing at you and launch it back, Plus Ink vac is very underrated

These were all SO creative! Loved it!

Not only are the weapon designs awesome, but so is the presentation.

One idea I had for a weapon was based on a moka pot for espresso, called the Mokashot. Being based on espresso I wanted it to capture the mechanic of pressure buildup. Visually it looks like a mokapot held horizontally with a wooden portafilter handle sticking out where it's held. It would be a hybrid between a brush, charger, and blaster in a few ways. Essentially it would always be drizzling out a little bit of ink so your feet would be always painted. It would consume some ink while running, but not a ton. The main gimmick through would be that you could press and hold the trigger to close the lid of the mokapot, and that would stop the dripping at your feet. This would also charge up the main attack, a shot that, when released, you get a blaster shot that scales in range and size depending on how long you charged. A full charge would be comprable in time to a splat charger, and the shot would be a range blaster size at rapid blaster distance when fully charged. Minimum would be more comprable to a clash blaster in both distance and power, but slower on account of it being semiautomatic. The goal is to make it an ambush weapon for sneaking behind enemies since your paint trail could be relatively small on the map as you get into position and you can fire off a sneaky devastating blast at mid-short range, but the setup is risky because you aren't swimming in and you could theoretically run out of ink by the time you walk up to an ambush spot. To keep up that theme I'm thinking Toxic to round out it's trapping and ambush abilities, and kraken as an escape tool/panic button/escape prevention. These would work thematically as well, referencing the "toxic" dangers of caffeine represented in the mist and the high energy intensity of a caffeine rush being represented by kraken.

Can we just appreciate the editing in this for a second?? Wowza!

dan: its clever right? chara:...no, moving on

3:25 i can't believe you lost the opportunity to call it a "minigum"

Here's hoping we see something along these lines next update! Also great job on the video, the animation was great and the pacing felt really good for how many kits you ended up covering!

To throw in my own little suggestion -Water Purifier Splatling with Bloblobber bubbles instead of bullets -Condiment Blaster with a Ketchup bottle for it's weapon tank that shoots out multiple blaster shots at once (to make up for blaster RNG)

As a Splatana main, the Tuber seems super fun to play with. I also thought of a Toothbrush based Splatana. since the brush is at the tip of the weapon, the regular slash has much longer range and painting capability than the charge slash. However because theres no brush at the base the charge slash cant one-shot. To combat that, it can charge hold while you swim so you can manuever around close opponents. Great weapon ideas!

I like how the featherbrush's handle is shaped like the bare part of a quill, almost like a quill pen

These are awesome! Would love to see more concept art to get a better feel for how they work, since i couldn’t grasp some. Overall very cool, love the references.

Oh my word this was a really enjoyable video Everything was neatly presented with personality, the animation is fun to look at, and of course, the concepts are amazing. The last weapon you guys mentioned might be really good for the next season update coming at the end of may

1:00 Sealant-C 1:32 Splatana Marker 2:34 Stack-Tacker 3:26 GumDrop Splatling 4:36 ParraFin-80 5:30 Tidy Up Roller 6:17 Zap Blaster 6:57 Pulse Dualies 7:30 Symphoon 8:13 Mesh Brella 8:57 PinWhorl 9:43 CaliGraBrush 10:15 Sod Waller 11:10 Jo-Curv 11:56 Solosher 12:34 Heat Sink Blaster 13:22 FeatherBrush 14:27 Shade Brella 15:47 Calcium Splatling 16:44 Spritz Dualies 17:37 Splatana Tuber

I think also letting the feather brush slow your decent when rolling would be nice Definitely not too big of a slow down but enough to justify keeping most of your speed when falling

I'm 26 seconds in and the animation is incredible, the video topic is interesting, the editing is really cool. This'll be a great watch

I’ve never seen a video of yours, but I’m blown away by the presentation! I barely play Splatoon and yet I watched the video for the fun ideas, the animations and the editing! Real top notch stuff, keep it up!

Honestly, one idea I have for a weapon type is hoses. Similar to shooters, but it shoots a continous stream of ink rather than shots. Think of it as the flamethrower weapon type. Like a real hose, it'll leave ink at the distance it reaches rather than the line of fire, until it stops firing where I'll start dripping ink at short range. It'll be a great team killing weapon with the tradeoff though being that you'll be stuck in place while using it.

All those weapons look so good, i wish they were real! Splatoon's unique and creative aspect is one of the thing that i love the most about it!

One thing I really wish Splatoon would add is a weapon class based on flamethrowers, and I've been really trying hard to make an idea for one! This is what I have currently: Sprayer weapon class idea Sprayers - A weapon class based on flamethrowers that have mainly chip damage based weapons. These weapons have large tanks that would be right next to the normal ink tanks on the player. - Sprayer weapons have an initial few frames of start-up before they reach their full range, with all the weapons having different start-up interactions. - Sprayer weapons deal damage differently from most weapons, dealing damage to anyone as chipping when they are in the area of the spray. - Sprayers have very large areas, hitting everything inside of their reticles (which would be shaped similar to splatling reticles), since they are meant more for chipping. Sprayer Class Weapons: *Graffi-T 93* - The most basic sprayer weapon, being the icon for sprayers. This weapon's name references Graffiti as well as the T 93 referencing the Type 93 flamethrower, a Japanese flamethrower designed in 1932. This sprayer's start up shoots out ink until it gets to its maximum range, being able to damage things as it starts up. The start-up would take about 0.7 seconds. *Graffi-T 93 stats:* Mobility: Normal (Midweight weapon type) Ink consumption: Medium-low (can keep firing for a long time) Kill-time: Medium-slow (not the fastest at killing, but not super slow) Range: Midline (about the same as mini-splatling, maybe a little more range) Turf Coverage: good (pretty good at painting) *Sting-Spray PSI* - The backliner sprayer weapon, based on the stingray special from splatoon 2. Since it is becoming a main weapon, it would be heavily reworked (Its no longer a stupid game breaking special hooray!!!). The name is a pun on the old name for it with spray added in, and the PSI part references Pounds per Square Inch, the measurement unit for pressure, since this weapon is a pressure washer (what stingray was based on). Unlike the Graffi-T 93, this sprayer has a special gimmick, being that its able to pierce through walls that are within 1/3 of its maximum range (Look hear me out alright). When it goes through a wall within this range, it's maximum range becomes a bit shorter, and its only able to pierce through one wall. This would allow this weapon to have the ability to take positions behind walls without being too overpowered, since this weapon wouldn't be able to use most subs or specials while behind a wall, and it would have to use low walls if it wanted to be able to look around still. During its start-up, it doesn't shoot ink until it gets to its maximum range, similar to how it was in splatoon 2. *Sting-Spray PSI stats:* Mobility: low (Heavyweight weapon type) Ink consumption: Fairly High (Cant spray for a super long time to prevent having only a huge stalling laser for most of the match. Would also have white ink frames like range blaster) Kill-time: Medium-Fast (About the same time as it had as a special in splatoon 2, maybe a bit faster) Range: Backline (a little further than splat charger. Goes to about 85% of its normal range when firing from behind a wall) Turf Coverage: Below Average (Its not really good at painting for its team) *PestiFyre Spray* - A frontline sprayer weapon based on pesticide spray, coming from fire and pesticide combined together. For it's gimmick, the PestiFyre Spray gives a DoT effect that lingers on enemy players for a medium amount of time. During the time in which you have the DoT, you won't heal any hp while swimming in swim form. However, the DoT will deal a little bit less overall damage while you are swimming to make up for this. For the start-up, this sprayer releases the ink spray very quickly. *PestiFyre Spray stats: * Mobility: High (lightweight weapon type) Ink consumption: Medium (it's not gonna be able to fire for as long as the Graffi-T 93 can, but its still pretty good) Kill Time: Slow (It's not gonna kill the fastest on its own, the DoT does make up for this tho) Range: Frontline (In between splash-o-matic and splattershot range) Turf Coverage: Great (Really good at painting) Ideas for kits: Graffi-T 93: Autobomb + Wavebreaker (location support based kit) Sting-Spray PSI: Beakon + Killer Wail (beacon gives it something to use because this thing definitely cannot follow up on bombs and killer wail just gives it more lasers to displace) PestiFyre Spray: Fizzy Bomb + Ink Storm (chip damage hell)

"The ink comes out the tip, but the rest is solid." Just like my pe-

idea the dual splat-stops a dual pistol with a spread of a shotgun, allows you to splat enemies while dodging close range attacks and keeping distance

Palette punchers- paint palette boxing gloves you can put on your feet and skate around. Possible ink blocking/repelling abilities

Lot of cool ideas, i love the roller concepts both trying to incentivize actually rolling. I wanna clean up enemy faces. And frankly having a shield to let you actually roll would be cool, and prolly a turf war menace

So cool how you managed to get ProChara and the others on here dude! one thing I hate about people making their own weapons is that they're not actually real lmao... some of these were dope as hell. now all we need is 2 videos for both sub/special weapons

Before Splatoon 3, I had an idea for a new kind of brush, and then they made Splatanas and this idea can't really exist on a brush without it just being a Splatana that can run so I'll just make it a Splatana idea. I'll call it the Javetana because I want it to feel like a Javelin spear. The quick slashes send out ink in arcs like a slosher and paints pretty well but they don't go very far so you don't have much range with it, and the charge slash deals much more damage as you'd expect, can be aimed like a sub weapon, and they can go further too. Maybe it even makes a splash sort of landing like a burst bomb. I'll give it point sensor for help with aiming and Ink Storm for help with painting and chip damage

I can absolutely get behind the Spritz Dualies. Those seem like they'd be fun for Turf War and Splatfest shenanigans

i think the Splatana marker and calcium Splatling are my favorites. some of these are great ideas and a few of them should even be actually brought into the game. i love this video and all the visuals. i especially like collabs between youtubers, so this was a good watch.

woah the creativity put into inventing these new weapons are just phenomenal! Although I do have an idea for a new class or just a weapon added to the splatana class, I’m thinking about the fan, not the cooling fan but the hand fan. So how this weapon works is that you could throw it and it comes back to you similar to a boomerang. It could also function like a regular splatana. Now I haven’t figured out a kit for this weapon yet so that’s my idea for a new weapon

I have an idea for a new class: whips! Whips are similar to brushes in the sense that rapidly pressing the fire button swishes it in the air. But when holding the fire button, it leaves the whip on the ground. It’s pretty useless when standing still, it’s real use is when you spin. Running in circles while having the fire button held down causes it to swing around. The faster it swings, the more ink gets flung along with higher damage. I also have a few more ideas for weapons in this class. -Splat whip: Just a plain rope covered in ink. The most basic whip -Toy whip: Based on a Yo-Yo, hitting opponents with the ball part does extra damage -Bead whip: Based on a necklace, flings small balls of ink that bounce a bit after landing (like the bloblobber) If your reading this text, thanks for reading this far. Unless you skipped to the bottom, how rude of you.

Here's a class concept: The Inkthrower Inkthrower is a lightweight, constantly firing weapon that makes a cloud of ink directly in front of the user, that does incredibly low damage, but applies the same status as stepping into enemy ink for 3 seconds, dealing damage over time, and significantly softening an enemy, but can almost never kill unless it hits someone already at 1 hp. Has Very light ink usage, as well as a "fast" fire rate. It might as well not paint as all, as it has drops of ink fall and paint the floor, similar to inkstorm, but with much shorter range in a rough triangle. I can't think of a sub and special that would fit this really well, so I guess I'll just say: burst bomb for paint and a higher amount of damage, and whatever the new super jump special is called (genuinely forget that it exist 5 seconds after seeing it.)

Nice that you got kits from both competitive and casual players. I know a lot of people get thrown off by comp analysis and having more casual players like boat makes it more approachable to them while chara has very deep knowledge of the game, especially competitively which is great for a more competitive approach to these kits.

THESE ARE SICK! I also love brellas so I have even more brella ideas >:D *B3 Brella* - A lightweight brella that shoots in rapid bursts of three, it takes four shots to splat an opponent but it shoots VERY fast. - Has the same quick canopy opening time as Splat Brella - while the canopy is open, you have a much higher strafing speed, however the canopy has less health and fires off slightly faster than splat brella. *Pinwheel Brella* - A short range brella that has a wide blast of ink - When you open your canopy, the pinwheel on the front starts spinning and the brella will glide forwards in whatever direction you held it attatched by a chain. When you close the canopy this is recalled immediately - If the canopy gets too far away, then the chain breaks and it will fly away on its on as if you had fired the canopy - The canopy will do high damage to enemies it hits so it could be a tactic to try and hit your opponents with it!

If they put in the gumdrop splatling they gotta make it a whole splatoon-ninjala collab, I have no clue how that hasn't happened yet, I love both of these games so much!

0:35 : we don't need more shooters. 1:00 : 𝚆𝙴 𝙽𝙴𝙴𝙳 𝙼𝙾𝚁𝙴 𝚂𝙷𝙾𝙾𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚂, 𝙵𝙰𝙸𝙻𝙱𝙾𝙰𝚃.

Both the concepts and animations are top notch! It makes me want to come up with some of my own weapon ideas. I've actually been brainstorming a few weapons for a while, which I have shared below. Be warned, it's a bit of a text wall. Ink Thrower: Based on a garden hose with a spray attachment. It's a charging weapon that starts with full range like a splatling, but only fires a single shot like a charger. What charging instead does is give the weapon coverage; the uncharged shot is a line, but charging causes it to fill out a semi-circle until it covers an entire 180°. To balance it out, it only does significant damage on a narrow forward angle, and it also has poor ink efficiency; a single fully charged shot can drain a full ink tank, but you also just inked a huge area and potentially damaged several players at once. It can come with Burst bombs or a Sprinkler and a Tacticooler or Reefslider to reference stuff related to hoses and pool parties. The name comes from functioning similarly to real world flame throwers, but now it's rated E for everyone. Ink Blower: Based on a leaf blower. It's basically just the Calcium Splatling concept, but it doesn't need to charge to sustain fire. This is at the cost of having a very high ink consumption, so the max duration you can fire for is only somewhat longer, but there's much more control and less commitment. It also has notable pushback/recoil, allowing for weird movement interactions and even airstalling, but also making it dangerous to the user on tight platforms. It uses Curling bombs and the Big Bubbler, both of which can have their trajectories affected significantly by the pushback. Ink Blower Portable: Based on a hair dryer. It takes the huge damage and coverage of the base Ink Blower, and gives some of it up in return for better ink efficiency and lightweight status. The pushback is also weakened, but that's more of a horizontal change depending on how you use it. It's functionally just a lightweight version, but it aesthetically becomes a shooter instead of a splatling/slosher. Ink Blower Pro: Based on air movers. It's the same weapon as the normal Ink Blower, but now it's classified as a midweight weapon. Why? Because it doesn't have an ink tank! instead of carrying around your own ink supply, it sucks up ink off the ground directly below and around you to shoot forward. This obviously makes it very unreliable at the beginning of a match, but essentially allows for infinite ammo by the end. It allows you to effectively ignore enemy ink as you walk over it and convert it to coverage for your own team, but also lets you delete your own team's progress if used carelessly. Finally, as a consequence of the modifications that let it fire without a tank, its able to create the pushback even when there's no ink available. Splatana Aerator: Based on a whisk you'd use for cooking. It has low range and low damage, but high coverage and almost no downtime between swings. It's also very ink efficient and lightweight, giving it good mobility. It uses Fizzy bombs and the Tacticooler since they fit the theme of food and are even already aerated thanks to the carbonation. I've never played Splatoon.

I really enjoyed these different weapon's and their properties. Feels nice to see some alternative takes for things like the brella.

These are really awesome ideas, i have a couple too 😈 The Splat-Flossers (Flossers for short) Press the Attack button (I can't remember if its Zr or Zl) once to open up a Metal shield that absorbs enemy ink if shot at it. And press it again to shoot all that enemy ink back as your ink. Hold the Attack button to Charge up Ink and shoot it all in a flurry, similar to a splatling. It doesn't deal much damage but it can shoot really far. Wave Riders (Riders for short) Basically Surfboard, its a combination of the Roller and the Splatana, it's normal attack is basically just the splatana attack with more range and less damage, but when you hold the attack button, while moving you can surf on land, spreading ink around

6:18 finally all my years of links crossbow training will come to a use.

Dude, it's so awesome to see you again! Plus all of these seem really fun (especially the feather and the tuba I guarantee you maximum amounts of shenanigans would be done with those weapons)

Nintendo, take notes

I would like to see a slosher that is basically explo but you shoot down, with a larger explosion and paint radius. It would have sprinkler to help out with its not so good paint and crab to help it to get into fights. Also, in salmon run it has bomb properties and jumping and firing does an animation similar to getting rainmaker to a checkpoint. It can kill in one hit, but limited in mobility, and is something the series has never done before!

Still wanting Nintendo to make a Splatana Pen purely for Sheldon to say "They say the Pen is mightier than the sword but what about a Pen that is a Sword?"

I would love to see this group make their own patches.

Why is this so beautifully animated? Wow!

If gumdrop splatling ever exists im maining it. Its just BEAUTIFUL. (Also, doesnt this mean you wont have the ink bag on your back? The gumdrops would maybe represent how much ink is inside and if its empty there would be ink smeared on the inside of the machine.)

I think in the future, when Splatoon see your idea, guns, in the future, they’re gonna add your guns and Splatoon soon

Wow the scripting and animation on this are tight, crazy how long this video maintains its pace. Real solid.

YOU ARE BACK!!!!! Lets goooooo!

I like how for most of the weapons (if not all of them) they act like it’s a sales pitch

My notes: -Pulse Dualies seem fun. With both an alternate sub and special, I can see that kit on a Pulse reskin. -"[The JO-CURV] is indicative of the purest form of insanity" yeah I can tell with all those voice cracks Failboat -The potential in Shade Brella to camp for kills in a corner with a splash wall in front of you is insane lmao

Slaaptoon Goon😮

Let's take the moment to appreciate how much effort he puts into his content for us

I though of an idea myself: The Matchstick brush, its based of a Match and when it Rolls, it starts to light on "fire", which increases its damage, but lowers its speed, it can light up faster if you hit enemies with it, its ink effiency is fine, but it wastes more if its on fire, swings go in a curved pattern, Sub Weapon: Splat Bomb to hit opponents farther in case you slow down and Special Weapon: Splattercolor Screen or whatever its called

These are all so cool, you should make more! Also I myself came up with a few concepts such as: a megaphone blaster that shoots a shorter range wave that explodes, or a brella that's a ceiling fan and repels enemy ink and turns it into your own ink, but only from the front. Oh also a fountain pen brush the gets a wider ink trail but more ink consumption the longer you hold it down.

My idea for a stringer would be one of those handheld harps. It would shoot 5 bullets that do around 22 damage per shot. It could also be a burst type weapon shooting twice if fully charged. The charge speed would be a bit faster than the tri stringer. The range would be between the tri stringer and the reflux and have good painting but ok ink efficiency.

Weapon concepts I made: Shower Squiffer Replica, Handcrank Splatling / Shower Splatling Replica A pair of replicas of the Octo Shower’s giant-sized weapons… because who wouldn’t want them? The Shower Squiffer Replica is a modified Squiffer with a laser sight to help line up shots, something that helps since it’s a little less accurate… but be careful, because enemies can see the laser too! Its Torpedo sub can be used to hit enemies at a distance, while the Killer Wail 5.1 can take down enemies who try to hide. The Handcrank Splatling is unusual in how it operates - rather than charging up and then firing, it fires a slower stream of projectiles for as long as you hold the fire button. It has very low range but rather wide coverage. By default it comes with Autobomb to help cover your six, and Super Chump or Tenta Missiles as a ranged option. The Shower Splatling Replica functions the same way, with a slightly faster fire rate at the cost of having a short startup time before it actually starts shooting. Angle Shooter provides a more convenient ranged attacking option, and allows temporary tracking of opponents, while Inkjet allows you to rain down destruction from above. Edit: Gave the Shower Splatling Replica a non-replica base weapon variant, the Handcrank Splatling. Also made another weapon with an original gimmick, also having a weapon replica reskin - the Moto Roller and Samurai Roller Replica. The Moto Roller has a very fast roll, since the roller part is motorized! If you hold ZR while standing still, it starts spinning as it charges. Release the button without moving to shoot an ink wave, just like the Octo Samurai's wave attack, or start moving while holding the charge to get a brief boost to rolling speed! It would have Curling Bomb and Triple Inkstrike / Triple Splashdown. The Samurai Roller Replica is a replica of the Octo Samurai's roller, and is functionally identical to the base Moto Roller, with Suction Bomb for better close-range DPS, and Reefslider to let you charge right into your opponents, just like the Octo Samurai himself.

Weapon idea harpoon shooter, it shoots out a harpoon you can hit multiple people with, and it has point sensor, when you harpoon a sensed opponent you will also sense the closest player to them, and it's ult is some kind of mobile railgun

"What if you could use the enemy ink back at them?" Inkura: You call?

Dude the inclusion of prochara and fail is crazy.. the chemistry is so good. ProChara being the smart one, fail being the funny, and kazu being the presenter/editor. The transitions are seamless too.. I think that these weapons should be added in, they’re so cool! My favorite would probably be the calcium splatling, caulk, syringe, Wii remote zapper, or any of the dualies (I main dualies so bias)

the sound of a noodle slapping the water would be a good direct hit sound effect

"we don't need anymore shooters" first weapon they show proceeds to be a shooter 😂

Something about boats panic before being hit and blown up is just funny

I am imagining splatoon with so many different niche firing methods. Glorious chaos.

Not only is this visually appealing but it also just scratches my brain! like AHH i cant even put into words how happy i am seeing someone make a weapon out of a mop, i NEED that officially

Woah!! These are all so creative, you guys did great! My favorite HAS to be the Calcium Splatling though. I've always wanted a weapon like that.

11:46 love how chara just becomes a chad and outright goes “No.”

I can see the Jo-curve being used as the ultimate meme weapon, I can already imagine teams of four using just that one weapon

I’d love a swordfish-splatana, with long range swipes but in a wide area. It has short paint but a large hurt-box, as it only paints where the sword reaches, making it very much a melee weapon. Its charge is used to spear the opponent, also launching a large, long splat of paint, double its normal range. A swipe deals 60 damage, and a spear-stab deals 140

Hear me out on this, the merry brella. A double jump hover similar to peachette at the cost of not being able to shoot a second after you land, fast falling time, and a dart like fire rate that pierces through enemy inklings and hits good damage when it lands. It would probably be paired with fizzy bombs and tacticooler to help even when you are in the air. You wouldn’t be able to attack in any way while in air while also being extremely vulnerable to attacks but I think a runaway is a great way to reposition yourself when your in a pinch

This is late as heck, but here we go. A weapon idea I had was the Splatana Soarer. Sub: Splat Bomb (Alt Point Sensor) Special: Kraken Royale (Alt Tenta Missiles) The Splatana Soarer takes the shape of a Fountain / Metal Quill, a Quill that isn't a feather, its a piece of metal. Think of it similar to a marker, but you have a much bigger drawing size. The splatana has a feather at the bottom of the hilt, with a massive writing tip as its blade. The name "Soarer" comes from the fact that feathers are usually light, AS well as its main gimmick which I'll get to soon. Its Uncharged Slash is very fast, being the fastest of all Splatanas, around 1.5x faster than the Splatana Wiper. Its shots do decent damage as well, and have moderate range. The downside of them is that their accuracy is below average, the ink doesnt spread very far (in terms of turfing) and it has low ink efficiency. Its also important to note that this Splatanas Ink Swipes actually curve downward instead of going in a straight line, which can be problematic at times, but can also be used to snipe those behind cover. The Charged Splash has 2 variations, whether your moving or not. The Unmoving Charged Splash takes a bit longer to Charge than a regular slash. The big upside of this charged slash its arc is MASSIVE (as well as it being horizontal and not vertical. Its around 2.5x the size of the arc of a Charged Splatana Wiper Shot (provided you flip it horizontally). Unlike the Uncharged Shot, these Charged shots curve down at the peak of their range, you can lob a big charged shot over a wall and splat those behind cover as Ink rains down on them. You can also Overcharge these to make them go further, so you can control how far your swipes go. This DOES have quite a bit of downsides though. First off, it takes a while to charge, taking a full 1.5 seconds. Second, the Range is a bit situational. The charged shot spreads NO INK AT ALL until it reaches it peak range, which it will then rain all the ink down on where it lands. Finally, you also have a bit of endlag after swiping, and you dont even Oneshot players when you hit them directly with your Charged Swipe! The Moving Charged Shot is where it gets extremely gimmicky, as you actually THROW THE SPLATANA like a boomerang. When releasing the charged shot and moving in a direction, you throw the Splatana ahead and it will boomerang back to you at the peak of its range. This throw would act similar to a blaster. Direct hitting someone is a 1shot, and will pierce through them. Its also your main way of spreading ink, as it showers ink below it when its thrown. There is a LOT of risks when doing this though. First off, Throwing the Splatana keeps your slow speed from when you were charging it until you get it back. Which leaves you very vulnerable. Second off, there is a bit of endlag once you catch your splatana again. Third off, if your splatana hits a wall or the floor or is unable to get back to you, it will take around 3 seconds for your Splatana to respawn in your hand, leaving you vulnerable and defenseless. Theres also the curve from the regular swipes, too. The Splatan will curve downwards and fly back towards you from lower than where you threw it. Throwing is a risk /reward part of the weapon> The Splat Bomb allows for rolling and throwing over Cover, or for playing aggresively and limiting the enemies movement, while the Point sensors reveals the locations so you can splat em from behind the wall with your charged shot, or for assisting your teamates and playing support, The Kraken Royale allows for aggressive close range play, as the uncharged swipe is already very deadly in close range, as well as moving around quickly to get around cover and splat the enemy. The Tenta missiles allow you to splat the enemy from behind, or giving some support from the backline while you snipe away at enemies. Overall, the Splatana Soarer is a rendition of a Cover-Blowing, Long Ranged, Almost Support Splatana. And they though it wasnt possible... YES I KNOW THIS IS A TEXT WALL Give me criticism in the comments!

Had myself a few good ideas recently, thought I'd share them. Depth Charger - A Charger made from various pieces of naval equipment, namely a depth charge as the ink tank, with the ability to lay down explosive mines when the user dives into the ink while charging the weapon. Damage and blast radius of the mines scale with the amount of charge built up before diving. Paired with Toxic Mist and Ink Vac, this weapon is built for holding off enemy pushes to give your allies more time to gather for a counterattack. Raised Sails Brella - A Brella made from a model ship and some fishing rod pieces, the sail takes the role of the canopy, giving it a square shape. After being fired, the canopy remains connected to the weapon via fishing line and, after some time has passed or there's enough distance between the two, it quickly gets pulled back to strike enemies on the return trip. The mind games this can cause are amplified with Torpedo and Wave Breaker gives opponents another obstacle to keep in mind. Splatana Skewer - A Splatana made out of a barbeque skewer and some plates and bowl to give it a shape resembling a fencing foil. Its horizontal slashes are very short range, but quick and have nice power, while the charge slash is instead more a 'charge thrust' with a very long travel distance that ends with a long and narrow splash on ink. Its built for closing distances with the charge to then quickly take on opponents at close range; Auto Bombs help to flush out enemies into your reach and Zipcaster lets you change tactics and strike from a different angle.

I imagine that the pool noddle splatana would make a thick, hollow 'TONK! TONK!' noise whenever you hit your opponents in melee.

“We still haven’t had a way to use the enemy ink against them” HEY WHAT ABOUT INK VA- *fucking gets murdered by nintendo*

Suggestions for different names: Splatana Marker - Streamlined splatana Tidy-up roller - Sploaker roller Zap blaster - N' Zip Feather brush - Splash N dash Splatana tuber - Smackdown splatana

I didn't think the devs, and by extension, the dedicated fans put so much work into the competitive and making different battle strategies work with these weapons. I generally stay away from sweating Splatoon, but this video is really cool.

17:35 one thing I would do with my bro is pool noodle and boogie board as a sword and shield.

The Tidy Up Roller sounds like the opposite to Lazypurple's most repeated words; "If your losing, great(-ish). If your losing, UGH."

Here's an idea! Remember the Winter's Howl from Black Ops Zombies? What if we got a blaster that shot ice covered ink that melted into regular ink in a very short period of time? The ice allows for faster foot travel and area denial by blocking enemy from painting the ice at the cost of not being able to swim in ice. Hitting enemies with it causes them to slow down in both forms for a short period. However, the weapon is balanced out by its low damage, short range and bad ink efficiency.

Genuinely incredible presentation, I rarely see anyone SHOW the fire rate of weapons instead of showing the number attached to it. Simple but getting the most out of everything!

I've also had an idea for a new special , and i also dont know what to cal it. It's based on a fire hose, with it shooting out a massive stream of ink (it does push you back slowly) for about 10-15 seconds. BUT- if you point it down at the ground, you get raised into the air quickly, but not far.

11:11 that's almost exactly what I thought failboat is going to say in that video:)

These are all really cool concepts. In the future, I kind of hope to see a weapon based on a pressure washer, where you could charge and have different fire modes based on different pressure washer nozzles. I think it would be interesting.

The Zap Blaster somehow managed to predict the S Blast 92 while the Pulse Dualies having a single dodge roll predicted the Douser Dualies FF

Before Splatoon 3 was fully announced, I came up with a melee weapon that was at the time akin to the brush, but now is along the lines of the splatana. You know those molds for popsicles? The idea was that as a sword and a sheath. You build up ink around the sword proper and swing it out all at once with I’d say 4 or 5 stages of damage and range, and little chip damage in terrible range when not charged. It would charge faster while swimming in ink. It would also take an appropriate amount of ink from your tank to fire it, ranging between a single dualie shot and a subweapon usage.

I have this one idea for a weapon, it would be like a flat iron, tapping the button would be like a charger tap shot, and holding the button would shoot out fog that works like toxic mist and deals damage over time. It would have torpedo to seek people out in the fog, and big bubbler to have a sort of base of operations.

imagine a stringer that curves the direction your moving, only 1 shot comes out. move left it curves left, move right it curves right, jump and it curves up, shoot on the way down from a jump or if you're falling, it curves down. stand still and it goes straight ahead.
