In Splatoon 1 Kraken was one of the most fun and unique specials in the game, but also way too broken. Splatoon 3 has drastically changed the special with buffs and nerfs, so let's cover how good the special will be on launch.

I hope it kills crab meta
I kinda hope the jump attack pierces the crab armor but I doubt it
I don’t think it will because Crab can just shoot it away. At best it’s just a distraction but if Crab got nerfed more, then it’s totally possible.
(Granted i didn't watch the video yet) im kinda worried this might go like: "You saved us!" Kraken royal: "oh i wouldn't say saved. More like, under new management"
we all do
Ehhhh, maybe the surge if they're on ground level

I’m convinced Logi’s Chara’s best editor

Agreed, These edits are so funny

I like that it's fully invincible. If it was another HP special, it would just die to crab--not just break but straight up die. With invincibility it can stall crabs or other stuff and then run away, which is a much less awful trade.
Also, adding something so reliant on its HP during _crab meta,_ where players are out to counter HP, just sounds like a bad idea.
When even metas evolve into crab 🦀
Now they just need to buff every other special except crab and missiles so the game will finally be somewhat balanced AND fix the damn maps
Now they just need to buff every other special except crab and missiles so the game will finally be somewhat balanced AND fix the damn maps
It sucks on tower control though because you can no counter it at all I tried it out and the enemy team was def mad
i don't know if its going to be broken or not, but i think the changes are healthy for balance of splatoon 3. especially the fact that it's now a two-hit unless charged
Seems like Kraken Royale's gonna be a great tool for breaking the enemy's line of defense. Activate Kraken, push into their line, and now they suddenly have no choice but to pay attention to the invincible damage machine for a few seconds. If your teammates attack then, it seems like that would make for a very hard-to-defend assault.
I think its not as good as you think. I mean yeah its invinsible, but you lose your shooting power meaning some more mobile weapons like shooters, dualies or splatanas have a chance to counter push your line of defence. Consider that Kraken is less mobile (has lower turning speed) and weapons listed above already use swim speed up. Plus Kraken is on .96 gal and roller which means less chance that you will have that ability
@@xouleater2517 Which is exactly why I hope they’ll bring back Splatoon 1‘s Nzap 83 kit whenever they add the Sheldons Picks weapons to Splatoon 3, because that shooter weapon does have the kraken.
@@elias0240PLEASE I WANT N-ZAP ‘83 W KRAKEN
@@xouleater2517 True, but that just sounds even more engaging. The counter to one assault being another assault, and whoever does it more strategically wins? Hell yeah.
hey, wait a minute, that sounds an awful lot like another special in splatoon 3...
I don’t know about anyone but i wouldn’t be surprised if a Kraken/tacticooler combo would be broken beyond beleif .
Just imagine the speed with some swim speed and intesify action gear (if these affect can acctualy be apllied to kraken).
You would need to pick the soda first and then activate kraken, since swim form can't pick from tacticooler.
i doubt it would effect kraken since it would be pretty broken i think
I would prefer this to crab meta
@@freedom8555 I mean I'll take it. You still need to have two people (one bringing Kraken and one bringing Tacticooler), which won't happen as easily in randoms, and it'll at least bring Tacticooler some new niche that warrants it being picked.
I mean that’s just giving tacticooler more uses, which is something It’s pretty lacking in right now, so it would be pretty cool
If Wave Breaker Meta comes in the future this special will definitely be a big counterplay
@@campbellmadsenstudentovhs5474 I mean missiles counter crab yet crab is still meta……
It might... I've noticed the extremely new special, with the firable bombs, is something congruent to other specials like Wave Breaker or Ink storm. Depends on what you want to use it for. I haven't seen how much damage that special does, so its killing power may not be great alone. But it is definitely good with inkstorm.
Props to the editor! That person has a nice taste in music and editing skills for humor is amazing! Excellent overall video you guys!
Thank you!
I agree. Was a nice break from the common mario music on this channel.
Octopath Music would be so cool and fitting for Chara’s videos 😎
@@MetaKirb7 I did used to use it but unfortunatly it got copyright claimed
@@LogiCreates you did an excellent job!!!
@@ProChara you'd think Square Enix would be more lenient with Octopath music since when TH-camrs put music from that game in their videos it helps expand the reach of what is still one of their more niche modern franchises. But I guess SE is making the same mistakes as Nintendo in that regard.
I personally feel that in counterplay against a crab, the new kraken might actually be the most distracting thing possible. From a solo q perspective, there would almost never be enough coordination to properly deal with a kraken threatening a crab. The crab would be forced to pay attention to it for its own survival. From a competitive perspective, you covered that very well already. As a splatana player that enjoys the ability to destroy crabs in a single hit, I find crabs current state to be fun to play against, and I think kraken would definitely open up some interesting interactions in both solo and competitive play. Edit: As a sidenote, I really hope that gear abilities still affect kraken. It would allow for some variation in its play, and would definitely keep opponents guessing on how and when the special would likely be used.
As a splatana main I love the fear in crab tanks eyes when they see me behind them. And yeah Kraken would definitely be pretty powerful in solo que as even the most coordinated randoms would have trouble against it. I can also see it in comp as a very good negation special. Allowing teams to regroup and force the enemy to think of how they will approach. It can be use to stop certain weapons and specials if used properly. It would be pretty interesting to see it being used as a crab stopper if they multiply it’s damage against hp specials. Making it probably used as a direct opposite to crab.
@@Nexus-Flare While I don't believe they'll give kraken a damage multiplier against hp specials, due to how large the kraken is, its damage hitbox may end up being able to hit the rider through the crab, which would be hilarious
@@XaerBlight just imagine popping crab to be pierced by kraken😂
They’re stupid if they’re going to take away gear interaction.
Something I haven't seen many people talk about is the possibility of it coming to Salmon Run!! Getting some almost guaranteed alive time could be an insane way to clutch out a win
It will not work on some maps so it might not come to it
I would be so happy if they replace reefslider with kraken in salmon run
@@ultmewtwo Why wouldn’t it.
@@heroponriki Everyone would, Reefslider is so trash that even Splashdown was better in Salmon. 😂
Took a while, but your wish has come true, my friend.
If this stacks with tacticooler, we may have a new offensive meta, and the super chump could provide a way for people to super jump into an area directly into kraken. I'm really hoping that these new specials synergize well
Imagine that, you're just running around, playing Clam Blitz, and then, out of the corner of your eye, you see a massive friggin' juice-fueled Kraken just ZOOMING towards you. and if Kraken Royale gets the decreased charge time from the intensify action effect of the Tacticooler, then a whole clumped up team could be gone in a flash
People asked for anti-crab meta, this is anti-crab. Literally a kraken on steroids
Great content as always but I just wanna point out how Logi has been absolutely KILLING it with the editing recently. Keep up the fantastic work guys
❤
Facts
Would be interesting if you could use superjumping with kraken active, or even use kraken during a superjump like Splashdown could
yeah also it’s just plain cool to super jump as a kraken
Transforming mid-jump would be sick tech for Krak-on Roller (and lead to some jump scares for the enemy team).
I'm hoping this is allowed, I want to try a QSJ build where I can kraken, do my damage, and then leave before my invincibility is gone LOL
actually, all specials can be activated before landing according to my experience so kraken can also do that.
every splatoon game they make a special that can be used in coordination with a super jump and 3 doesn't have that yet so I do hope its the kraken
Does anyone else feel like Kracken Royale and Super Chump will soft Replace Reefslider and Tenta Missiles? (Any future weapons that would have gotten them will get these new ones instead?)
Also, this bumps the Special count to a whopping 17! That's freaking crazy!
Tbh I hope not. If nintendo was going to waste tenta missiles like that, they might aswell remove them and give goo tuber, reeflux, and flingza the super chump. One of my favorite specials bubble blower could've returned but instead they bring back a special literally no one wanted back just for them to not even give it to anything
They gotta do something to reefslider. Maybe rework it so it could bounce of walls like a curling bomb
Kraken*.
@@unl3ash3d95 Which one are they not giving it to anything?
@@a_bear Yeah Kraken is basically a better Reefslider at this point, the Special balance is pretty damn pathetic at this point
I’m just curious about being able to charge a Surge on the side of a tower. I want to instill dread in my foes as that little ice cream jingle plays, lurking like a deepsea worm ready to snap.
Also how will wall-jumps work?
Actually wall jumps would be pretty scary. Just imagine playing rainmaker or clam blitz and a kraken rains down and kills you😂
One thing no one talks about is that after the special ends, your hitbox is visibly larger, allowing it to be punished more easily
Just popping in to say that Logi, the editing on this video was gold. Thanks for making me ugly-laugh towards the end!
a splatana of some sort with the kraken seems very fun, i really hope they add something like that
A stamper kraken would be really nice to have.
Ooo yeah yes. We definitely need Stamper Kraken. They can give it Line Marker and it would still be lots of fun.
@@Mad-Goose tbh I think stamper might get charas fabled kit that he wants for the range blaster. I can't really see many subs working with the splatanas but the few I do see working is angle shooter, splat bomb, and fizzy bomb
@@unl3ash3d95 my experience with fizzy, its good but if you use it wrong then your done for, angle shooter looks best. Even without a combo sub stamper is still good
@@unl3ash3d95 Angle Shooter doesn’t work with any weapon
@@SimoneBellomonte slosher deco
Okay but these new visuals you're doing in this video are great. The inkling girl in the Big Bubbler surrounded by Krakens just accepting death was especially hilarious XD. Such a massive step up in video and editing quality here!
These edits were really good and funny, great video!
Love that the music playing is shown to us. Thanks editer!
I loved the direction your videos have taken in regards to editing. Logi is amazing and so are you Chara
the editing on this video is really nice!
I just wanna say the editing is amazing
Community: You saved us!
Kraken: I wouldn't say saved, more like under new management.
Man I'm so excited for this! I didn't play too much of Splatoon 1 but I remember the Kraken being an absolute blast to play around with and I had such fun memories with it. Can't wait to relive those memories!
100K CONGRATS! WELL DESERVED
The editing on this is absolutely hilarious, huge props to Logi!
Loved the editing
love the edits bro
The editing in this video is top-notch. I love the Kraken explosions.
Every single time I hear a Sonic OST in your videos I get a burst of dopamine and interest, your editors have taste. Excellent analysis video as always!
Congrats to 100k again!!🎉
I'm glad you made this video I was waiting for something like that because I wasn't sure of this new kraken power
Congrats on 100k Chara! You deserve it
gotta say, I love the editing :)
I really missed using and fighting the Kraken. This will add even more chaos to the fight, and I’m so happy it’s back. Hopefully they’ll add it to a Splatana.
Great music for this video, Carrots of Happiness and High and Broken were great choices, and I'm definitely excited to get to use this new Kraken.
I love the edited explosions very epic
Great video!
Those explosions XD. Had a tough call today and that gave me a much needed laugh, thank you.
Hyped to see Kraken back. It's gonna be great to have a special that seems very mobile. I really want it on the weapon classes that were introduced post-Splatoon 1 so we can see how the synergize. Kraken Brella anyone? And give me back my Kraken Brush!
Pfp Sauce (Artist)? 🗿
this will be super healthy for the game-plus it’ll be fun! Great new addition. The Super Chump might also be good, but we’ll have to wait for you video on that.
Logi adding the underrated bangin Sonic music, High and Broken is so good
great video !
Congrats on 100k, I have been here since your channel was just Chara and you were playing as The One on Prophecy!
Kraken on clams will be broken with 96 mark my words.
I was not expecting High and Broken, that first riff nearly stopped my heart with suprise. Anyway, Kraken honestly seems like the natural answer to a lot of the stuff that's been plagueing the meta, and it's honestly really fortunate that it was the first new special in development. Although I can definitely see it only ending up on some real stinkers of kits, maybe the random number generator that decides kit combinations will bless an actually cool weapon with a place in the meta with this.
Gg for 100k subs bro
The fact that your editor used Final Fantasy XIV music in this video just, makes me immeasurably happy. Splatoon and FFXIV are, by far, the best games ever made, and hearing its music in a splatoon video makes me wanna cry with happiness. Logo is also just, a rally good editor in general. Idk when they started working on your videos, but they're doing an amazing job
*logi
I hate autocorrect
Thank you! FFXIV is an extremely good game that means a lot to me too
This just makes me want to be able to get infinite specials in Private Games. Can you imagine a game mode where one person is the kraken and everyone else needs to survive it for a set amount of time?
ya gotta love the meme at 9:10 I bet that will come up in a lot of compilations
I really hope there's a Kraken boss fight in Side Order. Just imagine it going at you like a samurai and you have to squid roll back and forth left and right to not die. Also it could come out of the ground like that Salmon Run enemy that puts a circle on the floor and tries to get into it but inverted. It tries to get out of the ground not into it. Also it could fly like a very slow rocket and drop bombs ink made bombs onto you. It's all just variations of the same swiping attack. It swipes at you, it swipes from beneath you vertically and swipes in the air dropping projectiles. It's all similar so the boss fight doesn't seem polarizing. Like imagine having a bunch of gimmicky Mario-like bosses and then there's this Dark Souls lookin' ahh fight where you gotta dodge. It's more dodge focused, yes but it's still similar to the rest of the bosses.
The explosion edits are gold, I loved that sm
Also I am VERY much looking forward to kraken
Top tier editing
kraken being on roller was all i could’ve ever wanted and more
Congrats on 100k Chara!!!
9:05-9:15 I love the editing here
It'll be cool to see it on some of the new weapon classes, especially Dualies, Splatanas, and Brellas.
I would love to see it on one of the Splatanas. I imagine this so fun as a pressure/offence tool for it. I think the two Weapons would be really good weapons to combo with it but also they will be able to get many of them in a round so hopefully we will see it on them
I kinda hope they'd make it so it has a built in object-shredder effect. Dropping its damage against players was smart, but I really want this thing to be able to hunt down crab tanks lol
I liked the explosions with the vac and bubbler. Also the reference to an og meme in the to be continued.
It's interesting to me to hear about the Kraken special from Splatoon 1 since I have only played 2 and 3
I knew I heard some secret rings ost in vid also great breakdown
I think with Kraken coming back, I think it's now fair for them to tune Stamp and Reefslider to match the strengths, mostly stamp getting full protection in front and reefslider having less lag or something
Reefslider really needs a bigger explosion radius and / or less startup.
@@SimoneBellomonte Okay maybe adjusting the explosion radius so that the further it goes the bigger it gets? (Starts slightly smaller than current, ends way larger)
Logi should get an award for best video editor
9:06 peak editing
9:04
Incredible
I love that little star ProChara clipart it's so cuteeeeee
Still praying for octobrush kraken myself. It’s the thing that made me get splatoon in the first place. Back in my last year of highschool, I even had a splatoon OC who used it explicitly for the kraken.
Very interesting video, you get a gold star ⭐️ :)
Dunno who decided on the Smileton BGM but just wanted to give props there
I love the thumbnail🤩🤩🤩
Ooooh Kraken Royale in Salmun Run 🤩🤩 It would prolly be helpful for Coho, and charge-attacking a line of chums will be sooo satisfying
I got an idea, have Reef slider be able to overwrite the Kraken's invincibility so that Reef slider can have the trait of being a natural counter against other specials
So like what they tried to do with Splashdown?
@@lieutenantpepper3421 How about Splash down but significantly better as a mix up tool by straight up ignoring characteristics of other specials, thus making it substantially more terrifying
I’m gonna have to play around with this. As a roller main, curling bombs are incredible for mobility, so we’ll see
I’m so happy this special is coming back. Krak-on roller was my baby in splatoon 1, and it gets to come back in its full, more balanced glory. Honestly, I kinda hope they allow gear abilities to change it. Another option I could see for intensify action is if they don’t want to decrease charge time, increase how far the charge can go with it. I didn’t even recognize that the use time is longer, special up may not be nessicary. And who knows, this weapon may have high object damage and just lower player damage. We will have to see, but I for one am so hyped for the return of the kraken.
Logi is the real MVP of this video holy squit
I have a note about it: even if you can't super jump after transforming into kraken ,do you notice that all specials can be activated before landing? you can use that to gain total invincibility while landing. But still you may be pushed back and not able to splat anyone ,so... that's why the squid surge(?) charge is added.
I am a kraken fan and is absolutely disappointed that Splatoon 2 is without kraken ,but after seeing this I was relieved that the almighty kraken is back to Splatoon. Anyways, good analysis vids!
Rip Reef Slider. September 9 2022 - March 1 2023
KIA by Kraken Royal.
I honestly just want the Kraken special to come with a splatana wiper kit since it would probably fit well with it but since the current one has ultra stamp I can see why they won't give a splatana wiper Kraken.
I’m hoping kraken can have the buffs of tacticooler while active. I want to try double wavebreaker , tact & kracken.
So excited
7:25 looking back at this I’m super glad they didn’t have IA affect the charge attack at all because imagine how busted it would be if players could near instantly charge an attack and be able to spam them quickly with the help of tacticooler or some mains of IA.
After analyzing the special myself, I have concluded that it will be an effective crab counter, but not in every situation. It's charge dash seems to negate knockback, which can allow you to rush a crab without them being able to shoot at you to try to stop you. The only situations I can think of where you can't counter crab would be if you're too far away from it when you activate kraken, or if they are in a spot you can't reach. Overall I think Kraken will be a good special for the meta, as well as be very fun to use. I also hope that swim speed will still effect it. Not only does it help with the now slower movement speed of the special, but it's also one of the special's defining features.
I love how it seems to play and also the fact that i could never play it in splat1 but at the same time i'm kinda sad that permanent inkbrush with it's splat1 kit didn't make a return with it
I just hope that super jumping with it gets something similar to splashdown
5:55 amazing effects
I love the explosions with the dummies.
8:41 kraken could potential open up a playstyle triangle for comps being countered by mobility, but sorta countering stuff like crab
my theory why the kraken is larger in splatoon 3 is because the inklings(and octos) are older
but thats just what i think
I haven't played Splatoon 3 in a few months, been playing other games and all, but I'm definitely going to return when Kraken does
I feel it will definitely be incredible in clams
Only to clear space
endlag kinda exists
@@jakcesleepingrn5739 I’m referring to going under basket for a jump
Hope they have guides for Splatoon 3 Kraken.
I hope it’s Kraken Vs Crab Tank, and Eliters
I’m going to love this special because I really like invading enemy turf as a slayer I do this a lot getting the team to forget about mid and have won almost every game I am able to get into enemy turf
I'm so excited for this special!! It seems so damn fun to play with :) I have a feeling it wont be added to one of my main weapons tho ;-; they never add any inkbrush kits and I legit only have ONE good option... considering the second inkbrush kit has 'ink mines and ultra stamp??' literally the worst kit ever lol
No way did I play through the entirety of splat 1’s lifetime not knowing kraken could super jump
HAPPY 100K SUBSCRIBERS ❤❤🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I am a bit more excited for the new season because of this~
The explosion edits are killing me 😭
HIGH and BROKEN is the perfect song for this thing 😂
