I love how the flingza can change from support to slayer on a dime just with a change of mindset. You can poke with vertical flick and missile spam and then decide "now it's time to shark and slay with horizontal flick" and it's almost equally effective. The true strength of Flingza is knowing when to play either.
"Did our guy just go for the checkpoint because he didn't realize we had it?" That's a quirk about Mahi - the first checkpoint message will never show up because of the water level message. It can really throw you off if you're not used to it.
You think 8 kills is a lot? You sir, have a skill issue on your part. (edit: I have seem to have misread the comment, and I thought he was talking about 8 kills in a single game. yes I know I am stupid.)
@@crea2746thats not the point of the comment,yes obviously you are right,but he said support is amazing you see,so i expected support plays and got pleasantly surprised
I feel like I can finally use support in 3 without giving up other aspects of the game that I like. The supports kits in 2 weren't very inviting in my opinion, but 3's support kits make me feel like I'm actually affecting the game and my team. It's never felt better.
just recently picked up mini splat and the main weapon feels fantastic, I’m very excited to play support (is “utility” a better name?) with zink kit in a few days
The battle Jr goes hard BOOM Ultra Stamp is useful LMAO I used to play support in s2 and while I don't anymore, I gotta admit its way more fun than in 2. Nice video Luis & Chara!
I can’t believe how kind to you the RNG is to you in a bunch of these clips. Especially with how many fights you took at near the junior’s max effective range.
Honestly if you REALLY think about it, tenta missiles are simply the best counter against eliters and chargers with this horrid map design. People just dislike because there's no risk involved when using it but plentiful reward.
I remember that at the Pokemon Splatfest a friend of mine recommended that I play as a Jr, since he saw my style of playing and thought I would play better with that weapon instead of an Aerospray. *I've been having a blast ever since.*
In my opinion support feels so good because of the kits like jr is from my understanding more about turfing than killing and with Splat Bombs you have a good damage option when the enemy is out of range but also a pressuring tool to make the enemy get closer to you.
Ya know what, I’m gonna say it: missiles are not a badly designed special, and I’m tired of pretending that they are. Their only problem lies in their spammability. All you need to do is increase points for special, and make it so you can’t start charging another missile until all of the previous missiles have landed (or after a set time limit like tacticooler), and boom, you have a balanced special
I always play Flingza as a support/slayer hybrid. It's insanely fun to go shark mode and get multi-splats with it, but also satisfying to provide support. I always have fun with it. Its ability to let you adapt to your team and what they're doing is one reason it has become one of my favorite weapons.
Cjr kit about to be even more fun than the current one, I haven’t been playing as much support as in Spl2 lately but with the new Jr I might have to pick it up again
96 is really fun in this game, I played a lot of it with a buddy in the Splatfest because I wanted a vac weapon in case of Tri-Colour and it's so dang satisfying
I LOVE playing the Jr. I've started changing my play style to a weird combination of support and assassin. It can only kill at close range, but it kills fast, moves fast, and with ninja squid, it's SUPER easy to get behind people and kill them. Also it inks like crazy and can hold positions, so I have a good time in turf and zones.
Chara, think you could make a video of tips on "Support Player Mindset"? I am aspiring to be a better support player for my team and while I think I'm starting to get the hang of it I obviously have a long way to go since I only just started comp Splatoon. I typically use Jr or Dapples depending on map/mode/comp if that helps at all. Thanks for the content btw! Your videos have helped me a lot!
Honestly you havent played support till you try dapple duelies with sub up and special charge up. Undying team and its a good stealth killer at times too
Idk if you'll see this but honestly the vid title makes it sound like you're gonna be doing a discussion video talking abt the role, but instead it's just a kill compilation with support weapons (which isn't typically what support is gonna be doing majority of the)
I picked up Jr. in this game after not playing in forever. It's been SO good for me - idk if it's just sub s-rank not knowing how to deal or what, but I've been very consistently top paint AND kills with a high win rate. I've been maining Splatana Stamper so maybe it's just that it slots better in rando comps, but it still feels so weird to out-frag a .52 gal. Just to be clear, I am aware that I'm not great at this game and I'm not bragging (because that would be silly at my rank), I'm more just commenting on how fun and good the weapon has been for me!
Jr. is actually a very popular meta weapon right now because it’s the only shooter with big bubbler. On top of that it’s paint is great and it has splat bomb, which is always a great sub weapon. The new kit that’s coming has torp and wave breaker, so if you want to play more aggressively, it will be the perfect kit for you!
i think the tenta missiles def need a nerf but i really feel like they ultimately work on flingza since it takes a bit longer to charge up your special with it
After a long climb up to S Rank with the Splat Roller (and Hydra), when I got five stars on the Splat, I switched to Flingza and seemingly, much more easily sailed up into S+. It could be that support is more my playstyle, as I do like to hang back and paint...or missles. We'll never know~
In my personal opinion I think splat roller was done dirty by being given big bubbler. Since you already have tk be relatively close to the opponent and since they csn just walk into it they can splat you plus the start up time isn't anywhere as fast as splashdowns instant jump. Even then rollers are just countered super easily either by something have more range like a charger, splatling and some sloshers or they're just outmatched in terms of fire rate with everything else. It really makes the class feel kinda insignificant when other weapon classes can do mostly the same things but better. Flingza feels better than splat imo cuz you don't have to risk being in the front lines as much. Especially with this horrid map design. I think flingza moreso shows what a roller is capable of by providing support and being able to be a slayer when the time is right. Unlike te splat roller.
3:37 hot take: Splat Zones is the worst ranked mode in this game because it leads to situations like this where teams sit on opposite sides of mid just painting the zone instead of actually having to push an objective
First really picked up flingza during the deserted island splat fest and I used throughout the whole thing. The weapon itself I love so much but missiles are not fun to use and ink mines are not my thing.
After watching your video about roles, I also wantsd to try support and now I love both jr and '93 gal (is it called 93? I'm italian and it has a very different name so I'm not sure lol). I always played shooters and similar so it was easy to adapt, but I don't see myself playing something like dynamo roller anytime soon, but overall yeah, I love support weapons
@ProChara, I'm a beginner, and this might be a stupid question, but, motion controls or stick controls?? I feel comfortable with stick controls but theyre slow and don't respond as quick but motion controls are uncomfortable but easy to turn arpund and ain better. I'm stuck in this position bc I keep failing ranked bc I've got stick controls but motion controls are confusing and aren't very comfortable 2 me. Plz help!! :(
Typically when I hear "support" I imagine painting heavy weapons. First time hearing that 96 and flingza are considered supports but I guess the definition is more midline harrassment with some decent to good paint, which also makes h3 and dynamo make sense. Does that mean tri stringer and range blaster could also be considered support or do they fall more under anchor?
Thoughts on new kits on my 2nd channel: th-cam.com/video/CyOKg-NOi0I/w-d-xo.html

I usually go slayer, because I want to change the minds of the common playerbase
@@no-zk6ls I usually go slayer cause I'm stupid and enjoy smacking fools with my fancy red roller imo
@@shybandit521 average flinza user:
Exactly, a lot of people say flingza is just support but I think it's a the perfect middle ground if you know how to use it.

"Did our guy just go for the checkpoint because he didn't realize we had it?"

Happened to me one time already
Really? I’ve never noticed that
That moment when 6 seconds of the match are left and Chara adds a Missile counter
chara : support is amazing!
also chara : gets like 8 kills in 10 seconds like a slayer
You think 8 kills is a lot? You sir, have a skill issue on your part.
(edit: I have seem to have misread the comment, and I thought he was talking about 8 kills in a single game. yes I know I am stupid.)

An aggro can also play by putting pressure on the opponents without necessarily killing them

@@Inmortuae2233 getting 8 kills in 1/30th of the time of the match isnt impressive to you?
Flingza is DEFINITELY an engaging weapon that is SUPER healthy for the game state and has NO issues. :)
Missiles are the issue
@@Jimblemimble That's a Missiles issue, not a Flingza issue.
Me a flingza main
I agree COMPLETELY with NO sarcasm whatsoever
what about reef lux? thats super good for the game too
The intimate moment you had with the other vac brought a tear to my eye, and reminded me that love CAN bloom on the battlefield.
"Support feels amazing!"
*Proceeds to frontline slay 5 enemies in a row*
I mean, killing the entire enemy team is technically support, no?
I feel like I can finally use support in 3 without giving up other aspects of the game that I like. The supports kits in 2 weren't very inviting in my opinion, but 3's support kits make me feel like I'm actually affecting the game and my team. It's never felt better.
support my beloved
Who is your beloved and how do I support them
@@JinAizawa42 good one
The 96 gal is insanely fun. Thanks to intensify action existing, it's actually viable to jump-shoot with it, too.
Yeah I use it a lot. The base inaccuracy need to be buffed a bit because right now this gun is kind of a roll of the dice.
@@Inmortuae2233 nah you just hit the first two shots or run until you get the first shot(s) accuracy back

just recently picked up mini splat and the main weapon feels fantastic, I’m very excited to play support (is “utility” a better name?) with zink kit in a few days
yeah I think it fills support role
Wait, it’s the same for me!
Mini splatling is so goood
Sadly,it’s just a worse nautilus with a better kit. Once naut gets a good kit (I pray it does) mini splatling will never be able to compete with it.
@@Inmortuae2233 berdly would not say that
One thing I noticed is that Chara always announces what's happening within the match communication really does play key huh
Jr. Is godly, change my mind, it turns anyone who knows how to play the game into a beast!
Having played both as and against Jr.s, you quickly learn that sharking Jr.s can be just as dangerous as sharking rollers.
The battle Jr goes hard
BOOM Ultra Stamp is useful LMAO
I used to play support in s2 and while I don't anymore, I gotta admit its way more fun than in 2. Nice video Luis & Chara!
love playing support, i feel the most helpful and confident when in that role
Chara: Support is AMAZING!
Meanwhile the Brella class:
Flazinga is the weirdest mix of support and front line slayer and I love it
I can’t believe how kind to you the RNG is to you in a bunch of these clips. Especially with how many fights you took at near the junior’s max effective range.
I think the splatoon 3 effect is everything being balanced for every weapon role and type…
THEN TENTA MISSLES 👀
Meanwhile the brellas…
Honestly if you REALLY think about it, tenta missiles are simply the best counter against eliters and chargers with this horrid map design. People just dislike because there's no risk involved when using it but plentiful reward.
@@ShurikanBladethe maps and tentas are the problems in the game mostly
"Me and the vacuum are staring at each other intensely" hah. That got me.
And thus, ProChara was declared the king of painting turf...with a roller.
"Wow support is so fun!"
plays flingza
When the 2 vacs touched that was literally a "measuring contest" to see who's was better.
Me who semi carried my team playing Jr in low ink this month: "yeah, it's kinda fun"
1:12 crab moment
Chara:the power of support
Chara now:support has never felt better
As a main brush, yesterday i found a dude with same weapon and your nickname, ProChara. Watching his play i guess wasn’t the real ProChara 😂
I remember that at the Pokemon Splatfest a friend of mine recommended that I play as a Jr, since he saw my style of playing and thought I would play better with that weapon instead of an Aerospray.
*I've been having a blast ever since.*
The team that got missled 17 times did not have fun at all
when you want to show people supportive weapons being supportive but kills are the only thing that gets watchtime
I love the design of the flingza its such a cool concept
good thing it has the most annoying and spammy specials in the game
In my opinion support feels so good because of the kits like jr is from my understanding more about turfing than killing and with Splat Bombs you have a good damage option when the enemy is out of range but also a pressuring tool to make the enemy get closer to you.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I have an insatiable hunger for more chara Scrim content loved the vid
You can take a look at his vod channel (Prochara vod dumps), you'll find some there
96 feels less like a support and more like a slightly more fragile weapon of mass ~~murder~~ splatter
Love playing Jr. I run sub saver just so I can start any (every) battle with a splat bomb.

Its so funny to see someone playing support weapons as aggressive slayers and actually Poppin off
Honestly you havent played support till you try dapple duelies with sub up and special charge up. Undying team and its a good stealth killer at times too
You know the game is good when support is fun
Omg ur right, flinza is so much fun, what an incredible support weapon, exhilarating splatoon 2, i mean 3, game play

That Flingza video is really something, but unfortunately that was before the nerf. I wonder how Flingza fairs now in your opinion after the nerf?
"WHY IS SUPPORT SO FUN!?"
as someone who's been playing aerospray for 3 years, my answer is...
Man, I don't friggin know.
Flingza is a support? >_>
JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE!!
- a well known support
