Splattershot being the first buff was actually a jumpscare making me think this lol. My only guess is that maybe they wanted it to be better than splash since that's been pretty popular.
3 months of two of my mains (aka all 7 weapons) being OP so that others can be buffed later. This feels wrong from a game dev perspective but I'm gonna have fun.
i initially felt kinda underwhelmed by this but the more i look at it the more i like it. booyah shredding bubble now is awesome, i like the goober and h3 buffs a lot, and sub weapon changes are always refreshing
I'm extremely curious about the little blurb they had at the bottom for shot and pro specifically, are they planning on improving literally all the shooters?, do they intend to make all the shooters stand out from eachother much more?, are they just going to un-shortrange the shortrange shooters? "Additionally, these weapons have specifications that form the benchmark for various other weapons. By improving these, we also intend to make room for further improvement of specifications for weapons with similar distance specializations as these weapons in future balance changes."
They say "various other weapons," not "various other shooters," so chances are it's not just the shooters they plan to improve based on these changed specifications. For instance, I'd expect that weapons in other classes with similar range values fo Shot and Pro or that fill the same kind of role those weapons do in their respective classes may be changed.
I love the booyah bomb and gootuber buff. Booyah Bomb for Gloogas and the gootuber is the one sniper I have fun with. It does hurt seeing the regular splattershot get buffed while the nova is still left untouched.
splattershot pro's accuracy was already one of its stronger aspects, so for them to buff that here and say it was to improve its usability in more situations is so weird? like you'd think the ways to buff pro like that would be paint or strafe speed but... apparently not
@@BigPro1123 Speed buff will help fight far away opponents faster and that means dart can bounce of walls with more range than before (I want 20 damage for idle line marker)
@@blackwidowpowersports6037I don’t think the speed buff is significant enough to make much of a difference. It already has Eliter range. We just need the line to do a little damage for it to get significantly better. The bouncing off more walls is fine but won’t really do anything
@@BigPro1123 It now outranges Scoped E-liter, which it didn't before, and also combos with the sub from farther away to work ever so slightly faster. This buff is so minor you're probably not going to notice it much
@@beastmode4tm Curling that explodes faster when you just plop it, adds range & explodes more when you cook it, and costs 5% less ink. Curling bomb barely help in CQC other than for escaping. It's the inverse of fizzy - you plop it & you get long range. You cook it & you get short range
7:46 This patch is labeled as 9.2 not 10.0 so maybe another patch at the end of the month? Yes, I'm still massively huffing the 3rd kit copium. Come on, 10.0 baby!
@@L0wded_ third kids are in Splatoon 3 DX, it releases with Switch 2 for +$10 edit: not serious, just in case someone thinks I have "an uncle who works at Nintendo"
noticed that as well. Just remind that there is 1 last "content" update. The update that they will open everything: tri-color maps and, I hope, challenges on private battles. When this one comes out then I hope they will add Sheldon picks 3rd kits... but for the total number of kits, is not good. There are more total kits in SP3 than SP2 already, so I dont know... anything can happen
its interesting to note that they say they buffed splattershot n pro because they are a benchmark testing ground for other weapons? idk what that means tho
it seems like they use those weapons to balance everything around. which kind of makes me hopeful for the future if the point of this buff is to enable buffs of other weapons
Honestly super happy with the torp changes. I feel like its matchup into slow weapons was powerful enough that they basically had to hold the whole sub weapon back just to reduce spam of it. Now that they're trying to nerf that, I think something like less white ink or 60% ink cost might actually be a change they can do on it, which is honestly something it needed. If it does also increase roll/bounce range then that's also huge for Wiper and Rapid. Wiper easily the winner of this patch regardless though, I think 2f faster fire rate on its biggest damage option, ledge poking, and main movement tool is going to be more impactful than people think. Gloogas also might unironically be a real weapon rn.
Sooo, booyah weapons might see more use in comp to counter mint? Prolly S Blast mostly but maybe some Hydra if Splatlings get better matchups against chargers
I feel like until strikes into bubble becomes a less desirable matchup then the booyah change won’t make a difference sadly. Why sacrifice your long range displacement bubble shredding tool of Neo splash or ttek for a machine or sblast that struggles to paint and can’t farm as easy as a result, especially when strikes are probably better anyway?
at most i could see Machine, SBlast. or Forge being run alongside nSplash and Ttek. If you're wanting a Cooler and Bubble in the team, that means its gonna replace your important midrange kill gun, like a Slosher. Except Slosher has Strikes, so why bother trying to fit Booyah in? Or is losing your Bubble weapon worth the cost for what could have been another Slosher?
Purple S-Blast is the single worst inking weapon in the game, it's getting two Booyahs a game at most. Red one has a sprinkler and Reefslider that deals with bubbles just as well if not better.
As a former Dapples Nouveau user, it's a bit disappointing knowing that the amount of time I have to break a booyah shield with reef slider, and then shoot down the booyah bomb is going to be tighter, but as an S-Blast '91 user, booyah bomb go brrr!!
Suprisingly W patch. Only things im iffy on are the torp nerf and the buff to splattershot. Normally i dont mind but thats the first one i feel is a bit unnecessary
@@weirdpuppet326 I posted a comment abt it but basically it’s what chara said. With a fighting buff to splattershot it encourages more ppl to engage with the weapon as opposed to sitting back and spamming zooka. If it was any buff that the splattershot were to get u should be glad it’s this one plus Nintendo seems to know what they’re doing with the patches now
@@unl3ash3d95I feel like this should've come alongside a slight paint nerf then. Right now, increasing the shot range will just increase shot's paint, which could lead to even more special spam.
Man splatoon 3 was so disappointing tbf like that name display change should have been in the game from the get go. I’m honestly on the fence about getting splatoon 4 right away like I’m probably gonna wait an entire year first to see if they learned anything from this because I’m that pissed off by this $60(+$6 tax where I live) online game not living up to current online game expectations
What I don't understand is why they keep dancing around the problem instead of actually addressing it? If Bubbler is so prevalent that it needs multiple counter specials,then why not nerf Bubnler's HP? That would solve the problem, I would think.
Thank you for having a brain here chara. I instantly knew ppl were going to see the shot buff and complain when first off its 3% the weapon is practically the same and secondly this is actually a good buff because not everyone played shot to just spam zooka. I've been a shot player since s1 and there was no point in trying to spam its specials bc one of them was a burst bomb rush one was a 220p zooka and the other had inkstrike which isn't that annoying of a special to be spammed. So naturally I played shot for its fighting capabilities. So I really don't get the complaining in the comments bc it makes it so that people are incentivized to actually engage with the weapon instead of painting for special
shooter range buff as well as tracking subs getting better has me in despair. i hope you guys like zap 89, cjunior, and shot, bc that's all we're gonna get
Missread/didn't see some things like luna being a 6% not 2% increase like before and fizzy paint buff for uncharged will clarify more tmrow.
thanks chara
Everyone in class say “thanks chara”
@@Cuttlefishyt thanks chara
it means that the explosions of a charged fizzy are closer yea? so now its a more reliable combo tool but it paints less?
Thanks sans
LETS GO RANDOM SHOOTER BUFFS SPLATOON 2 IS SO BACK
The only one I'd consider truly random is the Splatershot buff. Every other shooter buff is great, especially that H-3 buff.
@@SALTYTOAD00justice for h3 the only shooter that’s actually cool
Splattershot being the first buff was actually a jumpscare making me think this lol.
My only guess is that maybe they wanted it to be better than splash since that's been pretty popular.
@@buzzy4227 It really is the only cool Shooter.
Luckily splattershot isn’t broken in the meta atm, that being said this is a concerning buff because we know how much of a slippery slope these become
I can't wait for Splatoon 4 where we'll have the long awaited Sub Weapon change:
"Increased the range of Angle Shooter slightly"
I mean, if you wanted a subweapon that literally outranges e-liter, you have it now.
@@celestialspark5697 it already outranged e liter
Not to mention that's not what the sub needed at allll
They should just give it full map range eventually
@@celestialspark5697Range isn't the issue. It's the fact that it tries to be both a reliable locator/chip damage tool and fails to do either.
I kinda think it's hilarious how it's edging closer and closer to Nautilus hitscan range lol
Pencil survives again!
😭😭😭
bro how long has it been 😭
It was already massively nerfed in turf last patch... we really want this dead don't we? HAHA
@@malcovich_games "massively" when it still spams cooler and controls every area that isn't taken by bubbles

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NINTENDO STOP BUFFING SHOT ITS REALLY GOOD
My guess is they want ttek to be better competition with neo splash
nintendo ffs PLEASE remove 210p rapid deco im praying 😭
I genuinely don't think I could've come up with a worse linemarker buff had I tried my best to do so
Fr even a 706th damage buff finally bringing it up to 46.9 damage in the year 9026 would've been more helpful

new squiffer actually been buffed (better auto)
a win for me
we take what we can get
one of the many consistent vcarbon buffs 😺
And it's still entirely outclassed by Flux.
And vCarbon is still entirely useless.
And the buff isn't even any good.
you can hear his disappointment at 1:41 as they still dont make dart at least a viable sub
btw booyah buffs lets go!!!
i am SO mad that they inadvertently made splattershot paint better but im SO glad that ttek might be picked over neo splash more
I love the booyah bomb and gootuber buff.
Booyah Bomb for Gloogas and the gootuber is the one sniper I have fun with.

Damn, what The Zink and Mint do? Can't have nothing in this economy...

WHY DID THEY NERF THE SPEED OF A AIRBORNE TORPEDO, IT WAS ALREADY SLOW!?!?
sometimes torpedo lock on really close to ppl giving u little to no time to react to it so that can be annoying at times
