This is my first scripted video, did I do good? I hope you all enjoyed the video! Also, this list is ordered. (Yes i know some weapons are the 2nd kit rotating renders, since the original kit rotating renders doesn't exist)
I think it was good overall! The narration flowed well with the video clips and the audio mixing was on point. One piece of feedback I'd give is to rehearse more. The voice clips felt rather choppy which broke the flow of the video somewhat.
@@Mjmannella i stutter and pause a lot in general when talking, so i tried my best to splice it to minimize said stuttering been trying to work on that, even tho ive had that problem my whole life lol
I’ve always thought of an idea maybe for a mod where hypothetical third kit would be able to switch out sub and specials limited. Maybe you can only switch the special there’s only two specials you are able to change it to or a certain amount of subs you can change it to.IDK
I agree. It is criminal how they causally showed off Splash with Zipcaster only to give it another special at its release. Even if Crab Tank is fun to use.
Fun fact: In the zipcaster's concept art, the inklings presented are wielding Splat dualies with zipcaster (Which got me so mad not making it into the final game as a Splat dualie main)
7:49 I SAID THE SAME THING. People didn't want to believe that Zip Swig would be good for its good paint and range. I know it'd be legendary in turf war
As someone who mained Heavy Splatling for a good while, A tier is giving it _way_ too much credit. Splatlings as a whole (outside of Nautilus without the air penalty) don’t really work very well with it - you’re constantly interrupting your charge to zip, so you’re essentially forced to choose between using your main weapon or the special. The most you would usually get out of it would be the ink tank refill, and getting up to shoot down from perches/off angles you couldn’t normally access for a little bit.
14:54 flaring your shield is generally not a good idea with brella, it wastes quite a substantial amount of ink for very minimal protection (you're also playing an online game, your shield might not even open on the opponent's end) also brella doesnt play super aggressively, which is what zipcaster is made for. while brella does stay at the front and single people out, it does best at instead stalling with its shield to find moments of weakness it can take advantage of, and does even better in a coordinated environment where it can call out to its teammates to say that theyre stalling against someone and that they'd be an easy target. you cant really do this with zipcaster, holding out your shield would drain your ink tank top quickly to do really anything noteworthy. if brella didnt have these ink efficiency issues i could see it being quite a lot better but still even then zipcaster doesnt really help brella with what it wants to do however i think recycled brella could actually work really well with zipcaster if the main weapon was buffed quite a bit. it plays a lot more into fighting rather than stalling like with splat brella and could actually take advantage of what zipcaster is giving it
Brella does scale comfortably with savers without eating into its gear too much, zip would allow it to play aggressive off angles that draw attention so it can stall for the duration of the special and take away resources from the enemy. It wouldn't have to run as much run and swim speed because of the added mobility from zip meaning it could run more special power and main saver. It does suit splat brella nicely. I do agree about recycled brella. It feels like it would fit better especially with it's longer range value and more consistent damage.
Not all weapons have to perform a jump attack. Some can use it quickly traverse the map to get to places they can’t normally access and shoot from there. The splat charger should be a lot higher due to this.
Even if that's the case, it still wouldn't help that it would drain the weapons special meter. You'd still get 6 shots max, assuming you don't zip at all. 3-4 shots if you're zipping around and if you got the most "ideal" for it, you still would get little to no shots at all. I can see where you're coming from tho 🫡
Okay look... I know so darn well that this concept probably wouldn't work as well when you swap out the main talking point of the video, But I'd love to see a full series like this where you do this with other specials!! That'd be so cool in my eyes
@jhamaricalhoun332 it's possible I could. Im glad you enjoyed my vid, means sm :) Im not sure when next time I'll do one of these cuz i had unhealthy work sessions, where just a couple days ago I worked on it for 12 hours straight w/o a break 😭🙏 If I do ever do something like this again w/ another special, it would need to be just as something if not more unique and different compared to Zipcaster. Im open to ideas though 🫡
@@ZipSweep I understand that plenty! If you do actually do this again, make sure you take breaks next time (QWQ) Personally if you're looking for a weapon that's different compared to zipcaster. Some of the examples you gave like Kraken or Inkjet might work well! Though those are also two specials that transform you in a way- Something else funny could be giving every weapon the "best" special in the game TRIZOOKA... Or Tacticoo- I MEAN TRIZOOKA!!! In the grand scheme of things it isn't TOO special, however. Giving every weapon the current dominant powerhouse would be something neat to think about!
@ZipSweep I feel like wave breaker one more weapons would be fun to see. It's location and chip damage potential might be interesting on other weapons
Gigabrain zip blob would be so fun to watch and play. Just zipping to unexpected locations then perfect flicking could threaten entire teams every time it activates. Would be by so far the hardest weapon ever and extremely inconsistant but imagine the clips it could get.
good video! your mic is really strong on the bass and volume (and almost peaking at times) so for future videos it would be good to make sure you're not too close to the mic when recording and adjusting the volume of your mic in editing.
@@moonlitgalaxy5940 ty for the tip, will keep in mind next time 🫡 Im still trying to figure out the best settings for recording since they're different from when im streaming
Zipcaster alone is the reason i want custom kits, it's so cool but it's on none of the weapons i want to play, i don't care if zipcaster hydra (or most backliner's without the air penalty removed) would be bad, i want to try it!
Its really interesting to test different pairings. One thing that might be fun to test is swapping weapons with splash down and reefslider to see how it changes their playstyle
Zipcaster has been my dream pick for Reeflux literally since I first picked it up 2 years ago, I still whole-heartedly believe it would be a great special for the weapon. Even if one-shots are harder to land, Reeflux still gets value out of chip damage and hitting partials
@BelleColonD as i said, just because it could work doesn't mean it will. If it does get Zipcaster officially as a 3rd kit, I'm personally hoping that I'm proved wrong and people can pop tf off with Reeflux/Zipcaster, just because I'm also a fan of both reeflux and obv zipcaster lmao
Genius video idea! I’d love to see more with other specials (or even subs lol)…. Lowkey reminds me how much missed potential there is in this game tho 😭
Imagine a swig zipping to your base in the last 10 sec of a terf war game and being able to just paint everything In a hypothetical world where swig got zip, it would be getting nerfs cause nintendo has nerfed weapons that are good in terf but mid at best in ranked modes
I hate how nintendo gets rid of good kit ideas for "balance". Imo kensa 52 gal shouldve been brought back, because every weapon deserves to have its best possible kit in game, they just need to stop balancing them in dumb ways. 52 would have been fine with wall and booyah because it was fine in splatoon 2 until they buffed the weapon a shitton, splash would be fine with zipcaster if they would have the courage to nerf even a single attribute on a shooter.
If third kits were to happen, splash should get mist and zipcaster. It was shown off in the trailer and neither of its other kits got it. We were robbed
The thing that annoys me the most about the neo splash is that it’s very similar to the ttek even though zipcaster was like right there. They could’ve had their own identities rather than one overshadowing the other as being the better strike shooter. Neo splash was the most disappointing kit in this game for me until undercover (my main) was revealed to have screen
If this actually happened I would become worse at the game. I prefer specials that are a "use and forget" type, where I just use it and leave it to do it's thing, like rain and wavebreaker
You can do the jump tech on off of walls its basically same input as on the ground but a little different you can practice doing it with vcarbon its not that hard and instead of instantly falling down you do a jump but its not as high as a normal jump off of a wall
@kirby260b3 so tap jump? I've seen thousands of people say online "s-blast with zipcaster and jump tech would be so cool it should be possible" and I think the same thing, but I've never seen anyone do it with Zipcaster modded onto it. Believe it or not but in the same footage I've shown, I was trying to constantly do the tech jump off wall jumping 😭
here to spread wellstring propaganda and say that i think it could work really well with zipcaster, and even with air charge penalty ( but now i REALLY want the one-shots without it !!! ), only because it could take some cool and safe angles for long-range aoe pressure on the enemy's backline, which would immediately help with a ton of its bad matchups :D but seriously, without air charge penalty, it would be INCREDIBLE and it would be so much fun to play/watch !!!!! [ edit bc i forgot to say: fantastic video !!! :D it was really fun to watch and also really cool seeing something that's always been fun to theorize about brought to life !!! :) ]
but i want reeflux on zipcaster :( you dont need to hit a one shot, you can do some chip damage with zip then finish with reeflux, its not an all or nothing weapon like squiffer
3:06 I will be stealing this build for the Splash-o-matic 6 that’s blue in color to oppose Sploosh 7’s pink 👁️👁️ (surely if/when we get them they actually put it on it this time right? haha…RIGHT!?)
Nah all the splatlings would be f, and mini would be a lot lower cuz of competition from shooters Now naut would be broken if you could use a charge hold during zip Edit: ok, so you put mini over reef-lux??? You're insane
Such potential wasted, splatoon 3 with its archaic kit system compounded by a lackluster seasonal update cycle and no third kits really did rob up of so many interesting kit combos.

Cool video concept neat to see, wish we had the ability to have kits in pbs to try this stuff out.
Part of the reason why i learned to mod 😭🙏
custom pb kits REALLY needs to be a feature
I’ve been saying we should have custom kits in PBs for the longest time
That would be so fun, also add more customisation in pbs rather than just turning subs of which is really boring.
I agree. It is criminal how they causally showed off Splash with Zipcaster only to give it another special at its release. Even if Crab Tank is fun to use.
keep the crab tank kit, remove the strike kit imo
@ZipSweep Absolutely, we already have Tentatek Splattershot for strikes
18:32 “If it had a little bit more range, it would be higher.” That’s when you would pick up Octobrush instead XD
Exactly
3rd kits but its all zipcaster is a world i didnt know i needed
14:54 sorella brella can already sheild its jet landing so that'd work well on zip too
Fun fact:

ever since zip was revealed I really wanted someone to make this kinda video. ITS GORGEOUS

sure zip isnt good for it but i dont see the rest of your points
@shaoji0009 to sum it up, its not what brella wants as it doesnt fit its playstyle and also ink efficiency issues
Brella does scale comfortably with savers without eating into its gear too much, zip would allow it to play aggressive off angles that draw attention so it can stall for the duration of the special and take away resources from the enemy.

7:44 As big swig glazer #27 i can whole heartedly say i would be super jumping with joy
It'd be neat to have more an aggressive style on swig since it's other kits are supportive and passive
@@jamesonsmoogle7407swig is my fav and I’d love splat bomb and ink jet or hammer. Zip would also be very fun
@@BigPro1123roller and stamp could have a fun "keep moving" playstyle
Long range weapons could get so many cool odd angles. Especially stuff with fast charge times or good ink efficiency
yes !!! another backline believer :D
even liter would feel like an assassin on a rooftop with only one chance to take the perfect shot
I was thinking the same! As a splay charger I wouldn’t be using the zips a whole lot, but I would definitely stay perched on unique angles
Mini zipcaster goes crazy trust
@@NELLF1RE correct! Also hi moot lol
Sploosh with zipcaster is the equivalent of a New York rat
