You're omitting the fact that the splattercolor screen is a visual smokescreen for the Hydra itself. This could only be somewhat decent if the devs wake up and finally make the screen see-through for your own team, which should have always been the case.
Its only detrimental like that if you place it poorly, similar to walls/smokes in tactical shooters like Valorant
@@Coach_Ren It's hard not to place it poorly because they also made the throw range on Splatterscreen extremely short, another factor that makes it terrible on Hydra.
A big problem is that the screen is not vertically tall enough to actually protect the weapon from chargers on some of the maps. It kinda works if you're trying to walk forward on a map like Robo ROM-en or Mahi-Mahi, but if you're on Brinewater, Mincemeat, or Eeltail zones and trying to exist in the game against an e-liter, the special does not really allow you to use the elevated backliner positions on these maps.
Yeah, the screen blocks your own vision if you're far enough back from it. I think the idea is that you walk with it, using the initial slow movement window to get your charge.
@@dynamo_lynn you're creating space for yourself when you push up i don't see how getting into an aggressive position to screen is an issue. Its range is fine though i would prefer it to be longer in general yeah
Like yeah if you sit back on a snipe or something all game it's bad until the enemy opts to push into you but past that it's a non-issue
The whole point is that it enables hydra (and their teammates) to play significantly more aggressive where otherwise it'd be punished too hard
You can always run SpecialPU to increase the range of throwing the screen
As a hydra, I like Auto/Booyah better.
It's not a TERRIBLE kit but why would you use Custom over the vanilla in ANY of the game modes? I feel it might only be slightly better in Clams but that's about it.
@@dometalican1990 tbh I don't even play clam. It's just "you can't play ranked for an hour lmao"
@@lauralharris lol does anyone even enjoy clams in soloq?
@@FreakishBoo my sorry ass does 💀 but only when teams really cooperate, otherwise I 100% relate with the frustration of incompetent teammates
@@Rubellite-jq2kg the problem with soloq clams is that it requires way more team communication than any of the other modes, so nobody ever knows what to do
I'm not that upset it got screen but i cant lie i really wanted big bubble.
at least this kit feels like it had some thought put in to it. i was half expecting to wait so long for it and get an ai generated kit.
Ink mine, Big Bubbler would have been so much cooler.
Yes. Big Bubbler would have been AMAZING. But noooo, the WHEEL OF DOOM landed on Screen. Mines I understand because of its Splatoon 2 kit having Ink Mine. Though I'd have LOVED Beakons because of how godlike Ballpoint Nouveau was with them. Squid Beakon would make getting saddled with Splattercolor Screen at least tolerable.
The bots think the hydras an actual gun 😂
This is insane
? I haven’t seen any, could you give me an example of a bot thinking that?
@@Electric_Embers you came too late they were destroyed
What bot
@@theghostcreator776 darn
My two filthy casual cents: I'd like this kit if you could actually see through your own Screen, lol. Screen is cool on paper, but in practice, I feel like it's as much of a hindrance for your team as it is for the enemy team. Yeah you can use it as cover to move without being seen, but the other team can also move without you seeing them, so...kinda seems like a wash? I dunno. I guess it depends on the placement and the map and how coordinated your team is, etc., but I'm just not sold on Screen in general, and definitely not on a slow backline weapon that wants to see what it's shooting at.
"A bit on the slower side"
As he talks about the slowest weapon in the game.
I would argue it's Dynamo personally but it's definitely a hefty one
@@SquidSchool I would argue that Hydra, and maybe Explosher as well, is/are generally slower than Dynamo.
@@JakoBpyroTech using explo doesn't slow ya down for THAT long, does it? also, that's not too dangerous since explo is the arc-shot weapon class, but backline
@@SquidSchool dynano has a lot of wind up at the start of its attacks but otherwise moves like any other weapon, especially when it has its cooler. Hydra has to stop to charge at least a little bit before it can paint for movement, you spend most of the match running which is slower than swimming and you slow down to even more of a crawl when charging, you barely jump while charging so too much verticallity means you have to give up your charge and start over, making you very vulnerable trying to climb a wall, cant squid surge or roll offensively either because your charge is too long. These are problems all the splatlings deal with but the hydra suffers from it the most and between it and the dynamo, I would say hydra is the least mobile weapon in the game.
@@JakoBpyroTechI disagree, at leashtre with Explo the shot starts going out immediately, and Hydra shtreillkrtrdzszh has the flexibility of partiealdzszh chargesh (and alshroerkrtrdzszh doeshntre have to crommittredkrtrkghjklrtrdzszh to threm), unrlike Dynamo, which alshoerkrtrdzszh ish and greatrdzszh astruck on this long animation, whenever it shtreartkrlkrtrghfdghfdzszh shrewinghringghjkl.
I used Cydra a bit in Splatoon 2 and one of my favourite things about it was placing a mine where I was standing as soon as someone approached, then get at least a couple hits on them. Multiple times, if they managed to splat me, those few hits + the mine going off were enough to return the favour. Not very viable, but funny.
That's the only reason it got Mines again, because of Splatoon 2. VHydra got Autobomb back because that's what it had in 2
Im slightly disappointed by this kit, but at least us splatling players still have edit nouveau to look forward to this season.
What an intro 😂
Bro I'm a hydra main, yo thumbnail ain't fooling me >:V
I mean I get why they gave it Ink Mine because it had Ink Mine in Splatoon 2, but Squid Beakon was RIGHT THERE. Squid Beakon/Big Bubbler would have been an absolutely perfect kit. Screen is just too problematic both in its design and how it affects certain people.
I misread your thumbnail as poking fun at the low effort of Custom's main weapon reskins. Forgive me, mister Teacher, for I have sinned.
Why does every non-hydra player I've seen insist that screen is good for it? It's weak, power wise, and not fun for a number of reasons.
right and they talk like it’s a mystery what screen will be like for hydra players, they’re always like “i’m excited to see what it’s like!” as if screen hasn’t been a special for a whole season already 💀 we been knowing what it’s like
Yeah, people don't really think about the kit that much and just go with the crowd. I'm very rarely upset about the kit of a weapon.
RUclips needs to do something about these bots.
Great video!
I still think screen on hydra is pretty bad because you're blocking your own view as a backline, but at this point I'm not sure if it's worse than ink mine on this kit. Ink mine _should_ be really good with hydra and this kit's saving grace, but they also put it on ballpoint. Ballpoint is just objectively stronger than hydra, so the only reason you pick this kit is if you either really like hydra or really want screen over ink vac or booyah bomb for some reason
Honestly
I kinda was hopping for devy Cameo
But i do wonder if it will be a cheap special, like 170 or 180
He probably does ask Devvy for their thoughts behiind the scenes since they use splatlings and understand them pretty well!
He is using my gear and did ask for my opinion. lol
As ink splashed over the intro i giggled to the melody of the little squiddy tune. Good opening
I'm a hydra main, and I'm not really disappointed in the kit itself. what I am disappointed in, is the stupid long wait to get here
Hydra custom out the splatling screen in my ink mine?! 😂 Your mother?!
Huh?
@@flextape467 huh?
Should have been bubble.....
gem what is the fit😭😭
He’s using my main gear. lol
i would of have liked a wall and rain special for hydra but its okay
why is there the splatoon 1 hydra symbol on the thumbnail :0?
I really wish they would buff color screen so that way the team that has the same color ink can like see through the screen make it like translucent or something so it's still kind of hard to see through it but not impossible like the way it is now it kind of feels like it just kills the backline weapon since there are very few positions I can think of on most maps that would put you higher than the screen and if you're not able to see over the screen you're just kind of shooting wherever which is a waste of ink so that would at least be a decent buff to make it not kind of kill your own backline weapons
It could’ve been inkjet😭😭😭
i noticed...
So, with Hydra, you either have a bad Sub with a great Special or a great Sub with a bad Special.
I love the start of your videos sooo much
Same lol
Omg I love your editing and the special effects.
Hydra main here, since Splatoon 2. I'm highly interested in this set piece. Positioning will be crucial.
I was hoping for chumps or missiles, so splattercolor screen is ok- at least it’s a throw and forget special- come to think of it, I would have taken rain too… bright side? They didn’t give it splashdown or reef, so there’s that
I wouldve prefered tsd over screen
Gold naut is a splatling with tsd that uses it well
custom explo is a backline with tsd that uses it well
Hydra too could use tsd well
Especially with its recent buff
Splatoon 3 keeps disappointing me. I haven't played since the last splatfest and I'm kinda tired of the devs giving us half assed kits. I was REALLY looking forward to the Hydra's second kit. I waited over a year and a half for THIS!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Fuck this game. I'm gonna go play Paper Mario TTYD.
3:33 Gem I think you're forgetting something. The splatcolor screen obscures YOUR TEAMS vision as well! It doesn't work as a smokescreen if NO ONE can see thru it. If the team who put it down could see thru it, I can see why you would make that argument. But it doesn't do that, so you're just going to be blindly shooting inside of it hoping to hit something. I'm sorry my guy but you are huffing copium. The ink mines are fine but that's not much of a compliment. When half of the weapons in this game only have half a kit to work with, that doesn't make yoir case very strong.
Honestly man this is one of the outliers this season most of the weapons have gotten great second kits this season but it is sad they shat the bed with hydra and recycles second kits
*says this in the season where pretty much every kit is gonna be a contender compared to the main INCLUDING the Hydras second kit
I am not reading allat 😭💀🙏🙏
