Honestly, Tetras would be a top tier meta weapon if it simply had a better special. Auto-bombs aren't all bad, they are very cheap cost wise and can be spammed. Much better then angle shooter, sprinkler, or toxic mist.
@@silxer3154 Yeah, all the other low-ink options are worse for Tetras than autobomb, other than Burst Bomb, but the idea of Tetras with Burst Bomb terrifies me even as someone who's learning Tetras atm. Otherwise, the only other option is Fizzy Bomb (just 5% more expensive than Autobomb), which is fine, but Tetras typically don't want to be spending time charging up their sub weapon so it wouldn't be the best fit imo.
@@vicid1415 weapon diversity, not just vsplash team #47. Id love to see blasters in comp more, and especially brellas. If they ever get the buffs they need to thrive, it will be way more fun to watch.
I hope in the near future, when more kits/ weapons come out, the meta looks more diverse and hopefully balance changes can help to make a shift to having a diverse weapon pool
Unfortunately, what needs to happen more than anything is expansion of the maps and/or the remaining maps being a lot more open than the ones released thus far. Crab wouldn't be as good as it is if 1) it couldn't control the only route to the objective on many maps and 2) people could flank it reliably enough to splat the rider. It would solve other problems too like special spamming being the only reliable way to push in many situations with how few flanking options there are. I hope they address this, but this far into the game's lifespan, I'm not sure they will.
@@torrent5018 sadly true, map design is just so stiff. You'd think 3 games of mechanics and stage objects they'd get experimental and embrace the chaos theming but they keep making standard straightaway style maps.
Seeing a team running no crabs and winning against a team running two crabs brings me immense joy, and Chara's amazing commentary makes it even better!
It feels like some sort of magical crossover episode until I realize, oh yeah, they're both extremely prominent UA-cam creators that focus almost exclusively on Splatoon Competitive play, of course that'd happen.
I love this new meta because there are meta weapons that counter meta weapons. For example, Neo Splash, TTek, VShot, and Wiper all counter Crab but also get countered by Crab because of its range and kill time.
@@onetruehavoc They do it. Think of it as if light is weak to dark and viceversa, just like in an rpg. All the mentioned weapons are good against crab, and also crab is good against them.
The spectator thingy doesn't help with my brain trying to focus on a team to cheer for, but these matches are fun, especially to listen to the both of you two's commentary.
I feel like there should be more variety of specials in these tournaments. The recent Tournemnt I ever seen was basically Crabs and booyahs. I though I was going to see the kraken.
There are only 2 weapons each with those weapons and only 1 viable weapon in each category competitive wise. Need more weapons for those specials to pop up in competitive, 89 is at least super popular in anarchy
Seafoam really was like “Crabs? more like Crab cakes-“ (that was one of the most hype matches i’ve ever watched and with Chara’s excited commentary that was so cool!!!!)
I respect any team that has the courage to run things that aren't just top tier picks, it shows they're confident in their skill and their ability to coordinate with each other to get the most synergy out of their weapons
Down with the crab overlords!!!! All jokes aside, this team is so cool! Average Seafoam W Also, the hype in your voice in the last match??? Like wow I felt how excited you were in a good way
Here's what we gotta do Just keep selecting splash o magic even if you don't main it Just keep picking it Maybe that could convince SRL to finally nerf the blasted thing already
i’m always rooting for gy but i respect not using crab it’s getting really boring to just see one special, so i’m glad that slowly but surely everything else is getting buffed to be somewhat usable
I always miss tournaments and I really wanna watch them live because I think its alot of fun. What would you reccomend doing. Are there any places which post reminders of most splatoon tournaments.
While they still used a Splash weapon, Seafoam not having a single crab is like seeing no Steve in a Smash major; very interesting SF used Slosher instead of Ttek in the third game. Just thinking but can any other Sloshing Machine kit be as good as the current one with Fizzy and Booyah Bomb?
Seeing players actually branch off from Crab is nice. Goes to show that there are actually other really good specials now that can counter a Crab. Crab Meta was a thing but now it's fading into dust and diversity is finally showing. At the end of the day, it's not completely about the meta. It's also about how good the team is.
Absolute proof splatoon is easily one of the most balanced series of games I have ever seen.. Even if something is "Meta" it can be easily surpassed with the right use of your team's skill and player options. This was nothing short of a true example of that
erm.. on the off chance that this is a completely serious comment then pleaz know that he’s a pretty busy guy outside of yt and doeznt like. owe you constant vids :L though if ya really want more stuff from him that bad then i recommend checking his vod dump channel
I honestly don't think this doggage on splash is necessary. At no point in any of splatoons history has there NOT been a dominant weapon that just felt stupid to play against. U get rid of splash as the best option another weapon will takes its place and the reason why in the past weapons like range and dynamo saw nerfs quickly is because those weapons seriously could pose problems if they're the weapon dominating the meta. They already have insane hitboxes. The way Nintendo balances this game is that either they make a weapon all around good at everything like shooters or they give a weapon this insane quality whilst also giving them a very noticeable flaw
Seafoam player here, thanks chara for highlighting our set! It was super fun to play and I hope everyone enjoyed watching :)
you guys are absolutely insane players. congrats on the set!
AYYYY!!! You guys are so good, super big congrats!!!!!!! /g
Mad respect for no crab, that was a great set
dude those games were so hype yall were playing like beasts
You did extremely well and it was so good to not watch crab
Seeing no Crab Tank in a team comp is always a welcome sight
Also I think Gem was a little speechless in that last round 😂
😭*
Man, if Tetras ever get a good kit they'll be an absolute monster, even with Autobomb and the worst special in the game Orion makes it look broken.
Honestly, Tetras would be a top tier meta weapon if it simply had a better special. Auto-bombs aren't all bad, they are very cheap cost wise and can be spammed. Much better then angle shooter, sprinkler, or toxic mist.

it would be really funny if tetras got beakons
I FUCKING LOVE TETRAS!!!!!!!!!!
@@m4rcyonstation93 meh maybe a 3rd kit, for now look forward to ink mine ink vac
If there is one thing I love is diversity, we need so much of this in Splatoon 3.
Diversity in both players and weapon comps are very new in 3 :)
what

if nintendo wanted there to be more counters to crab but not actually nerf crab then they have succeeded more than they may have expected
The crab counters definitely work, but I think we can all agree Splash could use a special point nerf of SOME KIND.
@@starmoral5456 Even just going 210 P could work, but reducing the weapon's paint output by a small amount would help too.
Seeing a team running no crabs and winning against a team running two crabs brings me immense joy, and Chara's amazing commentary makes it even better!
How to nerf crab?
1:Decrease its range duration and damage
2: make the rider more vulnerable with start up end lag and make there spot to hit bigger
Nah nerf the offense, but if you run weapons that can kill the rider it’s as easy to do as it should be
No one is talking about it but Chara's commentary was on point
Great energy and delivery, and plenty of context to listen to even without the visual 👍
Don’t forget Ascension who can run tri Slosher, gal, machine, and heavy. Probably my favorite team out there rn.
i love it when theres actual weapon diversity and not just like 4 crabs in total
I can’t stress how much I like this Gem and Chara commentary
There is nothing more meta than the chemistry between Chara and Gem commenting

yeah at some point I just looked for which team had splash and which one didn't to see who's who 😵💫
Unrelated, but your commentary has really improved to where it is today. It feels great to listen to, you’ve pretty much nailed it now.
i believe in seafoam supremacy
yay chara upload
It's really nice seeing teams like this being somewhat focused, especially right now because of the meta
I feel like there should be more variety of specials in these tournaments. The recent Tournemnt I ever seen was basically Crabs and booyahs. I though I was going to see the kraken.
kraken (and chump) only being on two weapons limit options a lot lol

SWEEPFOAM
Your guy's casting is so entertaining. Love seeing my two favorite splatubers collab
Love your commentary, so so entertaining! I hope you get invited to nintendo events so the whole community gets to see your talent
Does anyone else think Chara should be a sports type announcer for Splatoon tournaments-?
Down with the crab overlords!!!!
All jokes aside, this team is so cool! Average Seafoam W
Also, the hype in your voice in the last match??? Like wow I felt how excited you were in a good way
always praying on the downfall on teams that use double crab fr fr
Once again, loving the commentary, thanks!
that last match was absolutely beautiful
Graveyard Shift and Seafoam are my two favorite teams, this set was so fun to watch
Your commentary is absolutely AMAZING
Holy cow. The tower match are insane 🔥🔥. They basically trying to hard counter the double tank strat with nuke and big ass bazooka 🤯
gg
i’ve always loved seafoam whenever i’ve seen them
5:11 the moment i saw 28-3 i had ptsd 😭
That second match had me screaming omg. XD
Great caster pairing! Already thought that when watching live but wanted to say it here again :)
damn chara's commentary is so hype good job man
Excellent commentary as always
shadow is a beast a tetras, ugh this video is soo good!
If you have to opportunity, definitely post some of New Meta's matches, they were really fun to watch!
I love Chara's energy in his commentary 😅
00:57 please Chara...
I remember in splatoon 2 I was playing with my least used weapon and I was playing jump rope with an eliter 4k scope
Bro seafoam absolutely destroyed in that last game
I LOVE THE BEDE MUSIC HONESTLY CHARA YOUR VIDS ARE THE BEST omg
Here's what we gotta do
Just keep selecting splash o magic even if you don't main it
Just keep picking it
Maybe that could convince SRL to finally nerf the blasted thing already
i’m always rooting for gy but i respect not using crab
it’s getting really boring to just see one special, so i’m glad that slowly but surely everything else is getting buffed to be somewhat usable
seafoam ❤
“I used the splash to destroy the splash”
Chara is one of the best commentators I’ve ever listened to
Just dodge em
A glimpse into the future... hopefully
Nintendo:"welp this team comp with no crabs just barely beat a team running two, guess its balanced now :)"
I’d reccomend Breaking Crab. It’s a great show
"A team won without crab? Time to nerf machine again" -Splatoon 3 devs probably
this was crazy
I have still never seen a skilled splash in soloq
So satisfying hearing chara commentate
Perfect pronouncing while talking extremly fast
that was impressive damn
i love the videos of chara, i love it
I thought for a good minute that the new patch notes just dropped omg
Seafoam my beloved
Poor Reef Slider. Even before Kraken it was basically just a new Splashdown and now Kraken exists that seems to just be better Reefslider.
breaking crab is like pressing splashdown
The heroes we need
I love Seafoam
Finally crab meta might end 😭😭😭
Wait till you hear about quad Crab
I always miss tournaments and I really wanna watch them live because I think its alot of fun. What would you reccomend doing. Are there any places which post reminders of most splatoon tournaments.
Crab is pog it’s a funni crab
Would love the replay codes for these matches 😁
Video 107 of commenting on Chara videos till brella gets fixed
GOOD DAY TO BE A FOAMER
seafoaming at the mouth rn
That was awesome

We need more Chara/Gem Commentary!
Nice commentary. Honestly this shows once Nintendo adds adequate kits in the game we can slowly see the drop of double crab comps.
I love collars!
Collabs
I've got a harem
Is that Gem co-commentating with you?!
Seafoam a monster team
Splash to 210p and the game is almost perfectly balanced (Just buff a couple of weaker specials and brellas and Splatoon is good)!
am I missing something? both teams have splash?
some of those are neo splash, it doesnt have crab tank. first game had double crab vs one, second has double vs none, third has double vs none.
Absolute proof splatoon is easily one of the most balanced series of games I have ever seen.. Even if something is "Meta" it can be easily surpassed with the right use of your team's skill and player options. This was nothing short of a true example of that
Was the splattershot running stealth jump or object shredder?
As a tri nouveau main - this makes me so happy
Tri strike is the new meta
Is 2 splash comp diversity ??
THE ANTI META IS HERE!
Where's my daily dose of Chara? ( He hasn't uploaded a video yet today to the future people)
erm.. on the off chance that this is a completely serious comment then pleaz know that he’s a pretty busy guy outside of yt and doeznt like. owe you constant vids :L
though if ya really want more stuff from him that bad then i recommend checking his vod dump channel
It was a joke/serious comment more so a joke cause daily dose of Internet isn't daily so it was just a silly joke I didn't mean to offend anyone
@@Zekko996 alright i see i see!/gen
A team without crab tank: :D
They are using a neo splash: :(
