How to Play Every SLOSHER in Splatoon 3
I knew about all of these by just looking, I didn't even play much and last time I played was a year ago
Either I'm not paying attention in my games or I've never seen that shade of blue in splatoon before
you should do the original concept
Woo such news! Too bad the game only got a few more months left
Now hold the fucking phone is that aether foundation music at the beginning???
The only thing I didn't know is that the momentum applied to projectiles like the blaster projectile. I figured it was just exclusive to subs.
Deviation is one of the main reasons I still play Splatoon, since I do not feel comfortable with weapons of few shots. In this case, you have to add the variable of the opponents moving, the trajectory arch, tilt controllers. I come to realize that you have better chances to hit a target (whether static or moving, while using the Splattershot Jr for instance) if you are aiming slightly to the left or right of the X mark, or at least it works for me (I recall that, when using Grizzco Stringer in Salmon Run, the most powerful arrow is not the one in the center, but the ones next to it). Eventually, oneself performs jumps to get out of the range from opponents shots, and admittedly, it's fun to do so. Nice secrets and hints, thanks.
something major they don't tell us about is that the splat charger can hold a charge if you want to swim for a bit and pop out
just remember when u play splatoon the reticle is a recommendation lmfao
Punishing shooter players for having certain play styles like jumping and painting to has always been dumb to me. Spread RNG removes your agency from the game, making most shooters inconsistent and not fun to play. Intensity Action should increase accuracy in general, not just while jumping.
11:03 You‘ve been invited to play!
it's kind of unfortunate that I more or less knew everything that you mentioned in this video I was really hoping that I would learn some special secret stuff that like the pros know to really help me push myself forward
I already knew that weapons had rng the longer they fired, but didn't know the specifics and how it resets. Very good video
I loved dapple dualies Nouveau in splat 2 with toxic mist bc i would use it to prevent enemies from jumping gaps and instead they would plummet Always defended our base and inked from afar with inkstorm
I actually found out about the momentum mechanic during salmon run. It was a tornado wave on gone fission hyrdroplant, and I was the one putting the eggs directly in the basket. I noticed that not all of the eggs were landing in the basket, despite me throwing them from the exact same position. After a few more throws, I observed that the eggs went in if I squidrolled, but fell short when I shot while standing still. I experimented more while queing for the next match (the range blaster was currently in rotation) and discovered the same thing applied to weapons.
Honestly as someone who got really into Splatoon in the later half of 2 I'm kinda shocked I never knew the range manipulation thing
Hey pika, idk if the question has already been answered but I wonder how cooler affects the the bloom effects on weapons ? Or does it not change at all ? Thanks for the video as always btw, take care !
I am a tri-stringer main and I've picked up that you don't have to fully charge the weapon to instantly splat (if aimed right) the charge gauge indicates how far you shoot the projectiles.
I do understand that both Squeezer tap fire and Splash have no shot deviation... but so does H-3. Its shots won't deviate, even while jumping and it has been like that for a while.
I feel like WRM is negligible because the same thing happens to the position of your player model on the opponent's screen
huh, I almost knew everything in this vid. only thing I didnt know was player velocity’s impact on main weapon shots. explains quite a few things throughout my time playing the game
I really like that it doesn't explain everything..lets you figure out things on your own - Reminds me of the classic NES days -
The Aerospray shot deviation... it's something all budding Aero users need to learn practically ASAP.
Nice! 😊 and is that japonaise friends voice speaking?
For a really, really weird, weapon-specific mechanic that absolutely no one talks about: Splatanas pierce enemies with their projectiles, but only if you miss the center of a shot. You paint behind players better and do more collateral damage if you shoot your verticals to barely clip their head, and your horizontals very slightly off to the side. Absolutely no one ever talks about this, but the effect is pretty significant. The precision required is ridiculous, though. You can at least try to do it in Salmon Run for better ranged AoE.
Good video.
Jumping can also increase the range of your subs or thrown eggs in SR
woahhh, you are super underrated! yesterday i was playing with friends and someone kept spamming FOUR AUTOBOMBS AT ONCE. it was crazy
Great and informative video! As someone who just started playing Splatoon about 4-6 months ago i can say that sometimes i felt really discouraged at first. It is already an overload of information but the information is not properly explained so it leaves you not just overwhelmed but mind boggled. If the information was clear, sure itd be overwhelming but as you process it over and over, itll be easier to understand and apply that knowledge. But when its not properly explained it just leaves you confused and frustrated. Thankfully, im the type of person that dives in head first and does not come back up for air when i get into something (several hundred hours of play and research and i finally broke into EVP in SR recently 🥲). But for the average or casual player, this lack of information can be discouraging. All of this being said, i didnt know that the shot spread didnt immediately get negated once you submerge in ink but rather slowly ticks back down to 0. Also the projectile velocity makes a lot more sense now.. seeing people make those bomb throws into fly fish baskets from certain positions is no longer a mystery 😂
As a Salmon Run player, holding forward as you throw bombs is an essential tech. Many basket trickshots are only possible with a forward Egg Throw
I'm sending this to my friends who only got this game a few months ago, I'd love to see more stuff like this in the future :3
The speed depending on your weapon easily clicked for me especially if you remember that decided to add that mechanic to baller in S2, but the weapon reticle one is the most interesting one to me with how you can change your aim
What exactly do you mean at 11:15 min when you say "even if this value falls outside of the weapons normal deviation range"? Does that mean that a main weapon like Douser Dualies FF with a deviation of 2.5 ° on the ground and 8 ° when jumping can sometimes have an even higher deviation than 8 ° when jumping?
7:31 for those who don't know this range-momentum mechanic also affects your shot velocity and accuracy!! velocity and range are tied together as a stat, and since inaccurate shots are fired like a cone (the most inaccurate point of your shot is at the end when it touches the ground, and when shots are fired they all start from the same point (your weapon) regardless of how inaccurate they are), then having forward momentum when shooting will actually make your shots more accurate and vice versa
CUSTOM ROBO MENTIONED
I really wish there was a way for them to explain some of these mechanics and more in game. Them making Judd teach us and force us to use all of the subs and specials is a great start but they could fs add onto it (kinda like how Spyke/Murch constantly remind us abt the fact that scrubbing the Fest Tee is less gold than scrubbing other gear for example)
Somehow I managed to play through the entire lifespans of S2 and S3 without learning that momentum affects the main weapon until now. Good stuff!
another good weapon to demonstrate the player velocity being added to projectile velocity is the bloblobber. since it fires 4 projectiles at once, you can literally hear the difference between moving forward while firing and moving backward while firing and it's staggering
I knew about all of these, but my question was how, haha Like the velocity thing, came naturally to me in salmon run where i would run up and throw the bomb for flyfish. And then if i would run away the other direction i would barely miss.
I knew most of this, but I enjoyed the breakdown. Good stuff.
I'd love that original video idea
thanks for the informative video! :D i would love to hear more about the fundamental weapon mechanics
Also, for shot RNG if you are submerged in ink and start firing, you get a decreased spread to start compared to just standing. This can be helpful for weapons like the Splattershot Jr. that otherwise have very inconsistent kill times.
Nice tip! Reminds me of how the .96 gal has basically no rng on it's first shot if i'm not mistaken
The range manipulation in Inkbrush seems to effectively nerf it while going forward, at least from my experience. Your shots become further apart, and because Inkbrush has inconsistent projectiles, you get really poor accuracy on hits, even with the three blobs. Walking backwards makes it easier to hit the shot too. (Inkbrush needs more range, why is it the lowest in game, while the sploosh has both a higher dps and range (it’s also a three shot where brush needs 4, generally 5 due to weird functioning fall off) Sploosh has a value of 12, while inkbrush has 5 (it had 10 in S1)
Amazing video! I’d love to see more!! Fall-Off damage and bullet trajectory is a topic I’d love to understand more
This video felt like a nice check for my knowledge, I already knew the majority of these though, the only one I didnt know was attack range getting physically bigger when moving in, but also I exclusively play stringers, so it'd make sense that I never naturally encountered that
Totally want that in depth video!! Sounds absolutely awesome!
The rng and the range change for Splatlings from splatoon 2 to 3 was enough to make search for a new main
1:39 The bars point out the strengths and weaknesses of the weapon compared the other weapons in the same class. I think on the wiki we use the bars on the ground to check range. Lmao. Having numbers would make it so much easier to tell what outranges what.
Love how even though the video has all three stringers in the thumbnail, 3/5 secret mechanics don't apply to them at all
