What inspired me to enter competitive Splatoon was watching Latias’ charger games on youtube. She will always be my inspiration! 💛 I am not and have never been a charger main, but it is still one of the most satisfying weapons to watch videos of.
Latias was actually who inspired me to start maining E-liter back in Splatoon 2!! And to this day, she continues to blow me away with how consistently she can hit such insane shots. She makes it look so easy XD
@@SplashPanda for me, it was the fact that she could do all of those things and was in one of the top competitive teams in the west because she was just that good. I was always into video games, but never thought that anything competitive would be for me, because its all just so male dominated. I never really stepped into those spaces because there wasn’t any person who looked liked me that I saw, and I didn’t think I could succeed. But Latias was there, and she was at the top. Not only that, but she shined so brightly even among her peers. How sweet is that? And then I learned that the splatoon comp scene is very queer and has a lot of women playing. I fit right in lmao
I am a Frontliner and my main are both of the tetra duelies. I have a burning hatred for chargers, but I love this series you're doing. It's so cute, silly and fun! While also being well informed! 💙
As a Charger main myself I absolutely love this video. Chargers are my favorite weapon class in the game and I’ve mained them ever since late Splatoon 2. I remembered learning them for the first time and struggling but slowly improving over time and always clipping times I would get like 2 or 3 kills. They’re just a super satisfying weapon class to play and as of right now in Splatoon 3 I have 4 starred both E-Liters and 5 starred both Splatterscopes (also don’t slander my precious Splatterscopes the extra 5% range helps a lot and getting snipes up close to someone feels amazing with it especially if they underestimate my aiming capabilities). But in all seriousness this is an amazing video and I can’t wait for part two!
Ahhh thank you very much, my fellow charger main!! Nice job on all the 4 and 5 stars, especially on the scopes, although I can only hope that your sanity remains intact after playing so much scope(kidding, of course XD I actually play a lot of ZF scope myself, that extra 5% seems barely noticeable in the training room but MAN is it practical in-game! People tend to underestimate the distance :0)
One thing that's important for chargers, LEARN TO TAPSHOT. it will save your life more times than you think. The range in all chargers isn't even bad and that plus strafing plus jumping you'd be surprised
As a Charger player since Splatoon 1, I will say, I agree with most of the stuff said here. I love how rewarding it feels to be good at a charger. I've mained every charger up to this point besides pencil, and I will say, E-liter is my favorite. They are all really fun to play but E-liter has that satisfaction factor to it. One thing I do want to mention is that ink vac is very good on charger in a competitive setting. I will agree that it isnt great when playing with randoms in X rank or series, but in the competitive scene, Ink vac allows you to clear rainmaker checkpoints, score power clams, and even prevent the enemy team from painting the zone just with the suction part. On a full charge vac shot, its like a nuke being launched across the map. It has the same hitbox size as a rainmaker pop and can instantly paint some splat zones. Both splat charger kits are great right now, it just depends on what you are playing in. The video was great btw :)
Yo, fellow E-liter main!! 👉😎👉 I absolutely see what you mean with ink vac in competitive. I mostly play anarchy, where true coordination is very rare, but when the team does manage to coordinate, ink vac feels unstoppable!! I’d even say it’s one of the more fun and unique specials to use. Although, from my experiences as a non-comp player, ink vac isn’t as reliable in solo(as support specials are sometimes not capitalized on due to lack of communication), and I was afraid to say anything about the comp scene given my inexperience with it XD Thank you very much for your input and I’m very happy to hear that you liked the video!! :)
As someones whos preferred charger is eliter you forgot to mention 1(one) important thing: Sounds REALLY cool when you land a hit on someone, that sfx is *chef's kiss* muwah
as an avid inc vac user I don't think I've ever seen anybody illustrate the sheer terror of getting decked by the splatana on the other team so accurately loved the video btw, your art style is peak-- can't wait for future content :))
It happened more than enough times while trying to get ink vac footage for this video(😓), so I’m glad I was able to encapsulate that primal fear XD And thank you so very much for your support!!
I have been a charger main since S1. In fact, in S1, right when the game was new, I was a bit concerned as to why I wasnt good with weapons as I hoped. That all changed when i decided to pick up charger. And i never put it down after that lol Just remember that as a charger you are on everyone's number 1 slot in their hitlist the second you breathe-
@@SplashPanda Are there any free animation softwares that you know of that are not very complicated for a newbie? I am tryng to get into animation, but I can't find anything for free.
I actually just use Procreate for iPad to make my short little animations! :) It’s fairly simple and intuitive, great for making smaller projects for newer animators :D
As somebody who has been a charger main for years, props to you for having this much insight on the chargers! I may no longer be too much of a charger main, but my e-liter will ALWAYS remain my baby, even if the semi-recent tri-stringer buffs made me pick it back up again
you have NO IDEA how much dopamine is released when we charge a slash and jump down from a cliff onto our unsuspecting prey and hear that AMAZING one-shot sound as they cry in pain while they explode and their spirit floats off to the spawn point. Just part of the joy of playing splatana, y'know?
@@SplashPandaSpeaking of which, congratulations on 1K subs! I am so impressed you actually got this many subs off of one video. But everything is well deserved!
I love the fact that you wanted to try chargers from day one, and when with the aro instead after that, I felt that, because that's how I started. Now I'm a proud E-liter and custom E-liter 4k main of almost 8 years! Also so happy to see some charger positivity here
Keep doing this shit. Seriously do not stop. Regardless if you think we won't watch, we will. This is an incredibly well made video, you will keep growing regardless of any walls you hit while growing. Very consistently engaging, no meandering, well articulated opinions, slick and tactful editing, great/clickable thumbnail, incredibly appealing character design and art, etc. Never stop making videos. I'm a squiffer/bamboo enjoyer myself but I have to admit e-liter is fun from time to time.

:000 Catloafman!! I love your videos, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such kind words!! I wish you the best of luck in playing chargers, you've got this!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment this, I greatly appreciate it. I worked really hard on this and wasn’t so sure how many people would see it so this means a whole lot :,)
I’m a competitive charger player and it’s so cool to see people that adore this weapon class as much as i do, and by the way as a high level charger player the whiffing never goes away
Whoooa, mad props to you for playing chargers in comp!! It’s cool to see you here :0 Ah, I’m glad to hear that the whiffing shots applies to even comp chargers and not just me XD
I picked up z+f splat charger only recently and i have used it more, according to splatnet, than my actual main, the nautilus 47. I love using it and im glad i came back to the class after getting demolished while trying to use the v-splat charger when i first got the game.
I always wanted to be a charger user however I was never able to be consistent with them. Only really do well 30-40% of the time at best. The time I did spend with them did give me some serious respect for the charger mains out there, you are all awesome.
I just found your channel today from the Goo Tuber video and MAN I've wanted to find Splatoon videos like this for ever. The fun, casual, and sometimes nostalgic approach to the games weapon and meta-history is so inviting, AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE A FELLOW CHARGER MAIN! I've been since day 1 in Splatoon 1, and I just wanted to add my obligatory "Man I miss Burst Bombs on E-liter!" I haven't really been able to get into them since, I just feel having that insanely quick offensive option was the ultimate life-saver, and the Echo-locator maybe wasn't super amazing but it did compliment the weapon a lot. I'm excited to see more of your videos in the future!
No joke, one of the most entertaining and hilarious videos on splatoon that I've ever seen, and one of the greatest first videos from a TH-camr ever! Definitely subscribed, excited for more!
honestly as a person who likes to squid party in turf from itme to time i absolutely LOVE e liter mains like theyre all so friendly you just come up to them and they aim at you and you start jumping and they start jumping and now youre squid partying😭
Finally, someone understands! :,) E-liter mains aren’t evil, we’re just misunderstood and are in fact always willing to start a little laser party in turf war!!
My only confusion is, if you're a Splash Panda and you're in a dumpster, I guess you're a raccoon. But raccoons aren't rodents. It doesn't matter for video quality, its just a weird way to describe yourself is all.
If this really is the first video you made on yt, great job. You actually look like you have a good amount of experience. The thumbnail was perfect because I came in like "damn right chargers are the best", but also, your style is unique and entertaining. Keep up the good work, and I have faith you can become a very good splatoon content creator!
I main splatcharger and it’s a criminally underrated option for higher level anarchy play. Both kits have their own respective niches and as a certified ink vac lover, its vanilla kit is fantastic in rainmaker especially. People tend to crowd in rain and one shot can take out almost the entire team. Plus in tower you can almost instantly get people off the tower with a shot that wasnt even charged with any ink. Such a cool weapon
Ahhhhhh thank you so much!! It’s actually crazy that you mention the inkling eye mask thing especially, it’s a big reason I chose a raccoon to be my sona(aside from them being my favorite animal hehe)
I couldn’t believe this was the first video he’s made. The quality is soo high I expected him to at least have been makin videos for a year. Incredible vid, can’t wait for the next one
Chargers (and backlines in general) were by far my least played weapons for all of 1 and 2, but in 3 I got interested in tri stringer and decided to give explo a second chance after sucking with it in 2. Both are some of my most played weapons now! Eventually this led to me trying out splat charger and having more fun than expected, realizing goo tuber can kill with a partial, grinding bamboo for whatever reason during the zelda fest (good kit for gettting people off/away from the signal), and now finally coming back around on my opinion of pencil and it becoming my favorite charger as of a couple days ago. As a bit of an "everything main" I still rarely play chargers but this is my first time actually giving them an honest shot after 8 years of playing the series and they feel really good when you do well with them. Since Splatoon is the only shooter game I've ever played it's also nice to play something that helps me practice my aim once in a while
Wow, you’ve had quite the journey! And it seems you’ve enjoyed some of the lesser-played chargers, very nice!! Pencil is a fantastic choice-very team oriented with a very powerful special nowadays!!
I'm honestly really impressed by how great this video was, compared to a lot of creators first videos. also love the hat and overall presentation of everything.
Bamboozler main here, been playing charger since all the way back in splatoon 1. That was a really good video, and I can't wait to see part 2! Also can't wait for the next season where we get to play custom gootuber, heck yeah. I'm definitely not malding over the fact that _gootuber_ of all things got a second kit before Squiffer, E-liter and Bamboozler, no sir
Whoa, a Splat 1 Bamboozler main?? :0 You deserve a veteran’s discount XD Seriously though, it’s great to see you here!! Thank you for your kind words! I’m hard at work on the next one already, and your main is actually the first weapon I’ll be covering!! I’m with you on the custom goo tuber :,) I’m probably one of 3 people on the planet that actually really enjoys playing goober, but the fact that we now have to wait 3 full months for a new eliter or squiffer does make me a bit sad :((
@@SplashPanda heh, yeah... I was so looking forward to a squiffer with zipcaster, or E-liter with beacons (or if we could be so blessed, bamboozler with a combo sub). I swear the developers have a vendetta against chargers, it's the only weapon class still missing 4 alt kits at this point. I'll still play the new gootuber for sure (especially since I loathe using missiles), but it's explicitly a weapon I only pick when I don't care that much about winning, after so long trying to make it work in 2 I've more or less accepted that it'll never be good.
@@squiddler7731 I’m the same way! I tried so hard to play it in 2, but it just felt like I wasn’t able to get the consistency that I had with squiffer. Goo sometimes really is just a “kick back and stop caring” weapon. Oh well, fingers crossed we get the coveted burst bomb bamboozler(which I don’t think would be THAT broken given the lack of damage up/mpu) or something equally as cool!!
Great video! I personally quite enjoy gootuber myself for fun, it's not the best, but it's kit is so fun, and I enjoy being able to paint as a charger. Personally though my anchor wheelhouse will always be hydra and explo.
As a fellow raccoon who mains chargers in a decent amount of gamemodes I agree with you alot here, I had NEVER touched chargers until splatoon 3 but as soon as i committed to learning them, I've been a firm e-liter 4k scope user since my first match with it
When I first watched this video, it inspired me to overcome the millions of losses and 5-star e-liter. Thank you Splash Panda…as of writing this I just reached my goal
Love this video!! I can tell your love for chargers with the amount of details that goes in. From the history, explanation of main and sub weapons and even comparison from the previous games. As a charger enthusiast, im really glad to have found this to know there are players out there who love this weapon class. I picked up chargers solely based off the splat sound, it is sooo satisfying. Remembered getting no kills every match and jumped on constantly. It was a steep curve to climb. Glad i persisted and can now do snap shots with decent splat counts. Amazing video pacing and editing, love the little animations you did too! Will be sharing this videos to players who are interested in picking the weapon up. I also love e-liter
im a splat 1 veteran looking for diff perspectives on my mains ( chargers and dynamo ) and i love this vid. u have awesome energy and are funny as hell. all the little illustrations are delightful as well. very good video
I thought this was a later video of a good, long running channel with a decent amount of subscribers, but no, this is literally the first and only video so far, fantastic job!
Love the fact Panda was giving Point Sensor some credit, I use Nautlist from time to time if I wanna play a bit aggressive from afar and point sensor is so handy because I SUCK at splatoon. I'll probably use the Classic Squiffer a bit for often. It may not be the *most* beginner friendly but its the one I wanna use and I'm fricking stubborn (and the goober tuber, I just like the fast charging on that on)
Oh look at that, an underrated youtuber! Definitely subbing thats for sure! Edited: To add, I had only recently started to play chargers though I enjoy bamboo, squiffer, and snipewriter the most.
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing!! It means a lot :) And oooooh, excellent choices!! Snipewriter especially has such a unique playstyle, and yet it’s not a very common weapon :0 I wish you the best as you continue to learn chargers!
this is only your first video?! gawd damn, i swear this is the content quality, humor, and editing style I'd expect from a long time youtuber, not someone as new as you! also love the your mom joke at the end that was genuinely the first clever "your mom" joke I've ever heard.
That was absolutely amazing!! The editing was crazy good, I know TH-camrs with 10 years of experience who can't do this. I really enjoyed it, and I'll be sticking around 😁
Almost 1K!!! That's an amazing accomplishment since only having 1 video and a couple of shorts that were published somewhere between 5 days and now 👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work!
This is so wonderfully and hilariously put together, especially for a first video?? I've been an E-liter main since the first game (I sucked a lot back then) and NOTHING had been more satisfying than improving over the years. Your sense of humor is awesome and before i knew it, the video was over! As a certified mom-friend of 12+ years, the "Ur Mum" joke in the E-liter section sent me. Please continue gracing us with these gems. (And drink water)
Awwwe, thank you so much for this!! :,) I was really nervous to put this out(still am nervous to upload new stuff hah) because I’m no competitive player and my game knowledge isn’t anything out of the ordinary. But heeeeey I’m glad my “ur mom” joke got the official mom-friend seal of approval!! XD
Hey! I also started my charger journey with the Squiffer in Splatoon 2. I loved the kit with sucction bomb and inkjet the most. I could never really get the hang of any other charger except bamboozler because of MPU. Then Splatoon 3 came along and I decided I was finally gonna get good with regular charger. And I did!! Then I moved to the E-Liter and never looked back! It's the hardest weapon in the game to master and I finally conquered this beast! Now is MINE TO WIELD AS I SEE FIT!! MUUHAHAHAHAHA!! 😈 Awesome video! You earned a sub!
As someone who plays mainly agressive shorter range weapons (ttek, trislosh wiper etc) chargers are a pain to deal with especially the eliter i hate fighting them but i have to admit chargers are fun to use. I personally like the goo tuber (partially because it's funny to do well with goo) and in 2 i played the squiffer a bit
As someone who likes to mane almost exclusively chargers and splatlings, I loved this, you absolutely deserve more subs, and you have certainly earned mine, looking forward to more videos!
My favorite thing about chargers is how they fixed the most frustrating parts of snipers in other games. Snipers are so frustrating because they can instantly kill you from anywhere on the map without warning. With chargers, their range is not infinite, so you can rest easy, and when you are in range, you can easily see and (for the most part) actually react when you're about to get shot. Ive had games in overwatch and tf2 where a single sniper just ruined my day because there was literally nothing i could do, but that has never happened once across all three splatoon games.
I really like this too! Instead of being able to completely spawnlock the enemy, chargers have much less range than traditional snipers and are VERY easily seen. Even when hiding behind a wall, the glowing ink tank is fairly visible. They still feel strong, but not unbeatable.
excellent video, subscribed! also if you didn’t know: the Z+F is short for Zekkofin which is the new combination brand of Zekko and Firefin introduced in the fresh season. presumably it’s shortened because it wouldn’t fit in the text box.
Thank you so much for subscribing!! I’m aware of the brand collab between Zekko and Firefin, I just find it really funny that the best shortened name they came up with was “Z+F” XD
While I was watching this I felt like you were some big youtuber i never heard of but then I looked at your subs and my jaw dropped realizing the godly quality of this video is from someone who doesn't have half a million subscribers. You are super talented and honestly deserve more subs. When you make it big I somewhat hope you remember me or something because at this point I am sure that you are gonna be big. Good luck on the journey, I know I will continue watching.
Truly, thank you so much for this comment. This has been something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, and hearing all of the kind words from you as well as other commenters genuinely warms my heart. I’ll be sure to remember you, Moose!! XD
The quality of this vid is so good and i can tell that there was a lot of effort put into it. But besides that you’re so fucking funny in a relatable way 😭
TH-cam recommended this video to me, I wanted to see what other videos you had and I saw that you had some shorts so technically this video is the first on your channel I guess, I must say that it has made a good first impression on me, good job and keep it up!! new sub btw
I play chargers since i got splatoon on wiiU, i love them so much but i started to love mire with splatoon 2, that addition of the charge hold was amazing. I still play them and oh boy i will never get tired of playing this weapon class. This video is absolutely amazing and great! You did a really amazing job! ❤❤❤❤❤
This was incredibly made, I love your art assets and editing style. I’ve felt like Splatoon youtube has been pretty dry lately but this was so well made! Happy to see the video is getting the recognition it deserves :D
Love how I come back to this video almost a year later only to see that this man predicted and BEGGED for THE SQUIF TO WIN, to gain zipcaster
first video that makes me consider e-liter players as human, great work!
Don’t be so sure 🤖

Criminally underrated. And this is your FIRST video?!
I picked up z+f splat charger only recently and i have used it more, according to splatnet, than my actual main, the nautilus 47. I love using it and im glad i came back to the class after getting demolished while trying to use the v-splat charger when i first got the game.
I always wanted to be a charger user however I was never able to be consistent with them. Only really do well 30-40% of the time at best. The time I did spend with them did give me some serious respect for the charger mains out there, you are all awesome.
Most underrated splatoon yt ever. Gained a sub
The quality of this video is absolutely insane for it being the only full video on your channel. Great work!
As a splatling main that dabbles with the stringer. People like you scare me and I respect the heck out of charger line of sight.
Honestly seeing this video, after the new squiffer finallly out with autobomb and zipcaster makes me wanna be charger main as well
As a e-liter main I feel not hated for once while watching a video about splatoon weapons thank you earned yourself a subscriber 💖😭
There there, it's okay, one day us E-liters won't be socially shunned XD Thank you for subbing!! :))
I just found your channel today from the Goo Tuber video and MAN I've wanted to find Splatoon videos like this for ever. The fun, casual, and sometimes nostalgic approach to the games weapon and meta-history is so inviting, AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE A FELLOW CHARGER MAIN! I've been since day 1 in Splatoon 1, and I just wanted to add my obligatory "Man I miss Burst Bombs on E-liter!" I haven't really been able to get into them since, I just feel having that insanely quick offensive option was the ultimate life-saver, and the Echo-locator maybe wasn't super amazing but it did compliment the weapon a lot. I'm excited to see more of your videos in the future!
Love your art and editing style! Looking forward to the rest of this series lol, this is an underrated gem
I'm sure it's been said already but you did a great job on this video. The editing and animations are really good.
No joke, one of the most entertaining and hilarious videos on splatoon that I've ever seen, and one of the greatest first videos from a TH-camr ever! Definitely subscribed, excited for more!
honestly as a person who likes to squid party in turf from itme to time i absolutely LOVE e liter mains like theyre all so friendly you just come up to them and they aim at you and you start jumping and they start jumping and now youre squid partying😭
Finally, someone understands! :,) E-liter mains aren’t evil, we’re just misunderstood and are in fact always willing to start a little laser party in turf war!!
I enjoy it when people are passionate, keep allowing us to see the true you, and I think you'll do great
I'm a simple man, I see positivity around chargers, I follow. Also animation? I should be following yesterday.
My only confusion is, if you're a Splash Panda and you're in a dumpster, I guess you're a raccoon. But raccoons aren't rodents. It doesn't matter for video quality, its just a weird way to describe yourself is all.
If this really is the first video you made on yt, great job. You actually look like you have a good amount of experience. The thumbnail was perfect because I came in like "damn right chargers are the best", but also, your style is unique and entertaining. Keep up the good work, and I have faith you can become a very good splatoon content creator!
gotta love when i randomly find small TH-camrs so high quality i don't even realize they're small until i go to subscribe
“You’d have to blindfolded with glaucoma to not see someone coming” well darn guess I lose
I love analytical splatoon content like this, and the cute presentation really sets it apart. I'd love to see more!!
The shock in my face when i realized this is the first video you uploaded. That is legit impressive keep it up
I main splatcharger and it’s a criminally underrated option for higher level anarchy play. Both kits have their own respective niches and as a certified ink vac lover, its vanilla kit is fantastic in rainmaker especially. People tend to crowd in rain and one shot can take out almost the entire team. Plus in tower you can almost instantly get people off the tower with a shot that wasnt even charged with any ink. Such a cool weapon
Do NOT use the vanilla kit in zones though LMAO
did you... actually sacrifice your first born to get us the New Squiffer we have
>:)
This was rlly helpful for someone who really wants to get into chargers, cant wait to see you grow and become a famous splatuber
I love your character design so much!! It’s all so fitting with the Inkling eye mask, and the whole dumpster tv background is already so iconic. 👀
Ahhhhhh thank you so much!! It’s actually crazy that you mention the inkling eye mask thing especially, it’s a big reason I chose a raccoon to be my sona(aside from them being my favorite animal hehe)
Quality content + funny animations + Splatoon + Raccoon with a hat = Me instantly falling in love with your video style. Keep it up!
I couldn’t believe this was the first video he’s made. The quality is soo high I expected him to at least have been makin videos for a year. Incredible vid, can’t wait for the next one
Chargers (and backlines in general) were by far my least played weapons for all of 1 and 2, but in 3 I got interested in tri stringer and decided to give explo a second chance after sucking with it in 2. Both are some of my most played weapons now! Eventually this led to me trying out splat charger and having more fun than expected, realizing goo tuber can kill with a partial, grinding bamboo for whatever reason during the zelda fest (good kit for gettting people off/away from the signal), and now finally coming back around on my opinion of pencil and it becoming my favorite charger as of a couple days ago. As a bit of an "everything main" I still rarely play chargers but this is my first time actually giving them an honest shot after 8 years of playing the series and they feel really good when you do well with them. Since Splatoon is the only shooter game I've ever played it's also nice to play something that helps me practice my aim once in a while
Wow, you’ve had quite the journey! And it seems you’ve enjoyed some of the lesser-played chargers, very nice!! Pencil is a fantastic choice-very team oriented with a very powerful special nowadays!!
Looks like someone sacrificed their newborn
Dude you need tens of thousands of more subs this is top tier content
Aw, thank you so much :D I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
I'm honestly really impressed by how great this video was, compared to a lot of creators first videos. also love the hat and overall presentation of everything.
THEY GAVE THE MAN HIS SQUIFFER ZIPCASTER 🙏
Yeeeaaaa babyyyy woooo
Bamboozler main here, been playing charger since all the way back in splatoon 1. That was a really good video, and I can't wait to see part 2!
Also can't wait for the next season where we get to play custom gootuber, heck yeah. I'm definitely not malding over the fact that _gootuber_ of all things got a second kit before Squiffer, E-liter and Bamboozler, no sir
Whoa, a Splat 1 Bamboozler main?? :0 You deserve a veteran’s discount XD Seriously though, it’s great to see you here!! Thank you for your kind words! I’m hard at work on the next one already, and your main is actually the first weapon I’ll be covering!!
I’m with you on the custom goo tuber :,) I’m probably one of 3 people on the planet that actually really enjoys playing goober, but the fact that we now have to wait 3 full months for a new eliter or squiffer does make me a bit sad :((
@@SplashPanda heh, yeah... I was so looking forward to a squiffer with zipcaster, or E-liter with beacons (or if we could be so blessed, bamboozler with a combo sub). I swear the developers have a vendetta against chargers, it's the only weapon class still missing 4 alt kits at this point. I'll still play the new gootuber for sure (especially since I loathe using missiles), but it's explicitly a weapon I only pick when I don't care that much about winning, after so long trying to make it work in 2 I've more or less accepted that it'll never be good.
@@squiddler7731 I’m the same way! I tried so hard to play it in 2, but it just felt like I wasn’t able to get the consistency that I had with squiffer. Goo sometimes really is just a “kick back and stop caring” weapon. Oh well, fingers crossed we get the coveted burst bomb bamboozler(which I don’t think would be THAT broken given the lack of damage up/mpu) or something equally as cool!!
Great video! I personally quite enjoy gootuber myself for fun, it's not the best, but it's kit is so fun, and I enjoy being able to paint as a charger. Personally though my anchor wheelhouse will always be hydra and explo.
14:23 @SplashPanda
Looks like you finally got what you wanted, the green color of it looks great as well
As a fellow raccoon who mains chargers in a decent amount of gamemodes I agree with you alot here, I had NEVER touched chargers until splatoon 3 but as soon as i committed to learning them, I've been a firm e-liter 4k scope user since my first match with it
When I first watched this video, it inspired me to overcome the millions of losses and 5-star e-liter. Thank you Splash Panda…as of writing this I just reached my goal
Chargers are amazing, just like this video 🔥👌🏿 i like 4k scope and bamboo a lot
Love this video!! I can tell your love for chargers with the amount of details that goes in. From the history, explanation of main and sub weapons and even comparison from the previous games. As a charger enthusiast, im really glad to have found this to know there are players out there who love this weapon class.
I picked up chargers solely based off the splat sound, it is sooo satisfying. Remembered getting no kills every match and jumped on constantly. It was a steep curve to climb. Glad i persisted and can now do snap shots with decent splat counts.
Amazing video pacing and editing, love the little animations you did too! Will be sharing this videos to players who are interested in picking the weapon up.
I also love e-liter
16:50 was a golden moment.
im a splat 1 veteran looking for diff perspectives on my mains ( chargers and dynamo ) and i love this vid. u have awesome energy and are funny as hell. all the little illustrations are delightful as well. very good video
The quality of this video is absolutely incredible. Keep up the awesome work dude, you deserve WAY more subs
I thought this was a later video of a good, long running channel with a decent amount of subscribers, but no, this is literally the first and only video so far, fantastic job!
Love the fact Panda was giving Point Sensor some credit, I use Nautlist from time to time if I wanna play a bit aggressive from afar and point sensor is so handy because I SUCK at splatoon. I'll probably use the Classic Squiffer a bit for often. It may not be the *most* beginner friendly but its the one I wanna use and I'm fricking stubborn (and the goober tuber, I just like the fast charging on that on)
Oh look at that, an underrated youtuber! Definitely subbing thats for sure!
Edited:
To add, I had only recently started to play chargers though I enjoy bamboo, squiffer, and snipewriter the most.
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing!! It means a lot :)
And oooooh, excellent choices!! Snipewriter especially has such a unique playstyle, and yet it’s not a very common weapon :0 I wish you the best as you continue to learn chargers!
this is only your first video?! gawd damn, i swear this is the content quality, humor, and editing style I'd expect from a long time youtuber, not someone as new as you! also love the your mom joke at the end that was genuinely the first clever "your mom" joke I've ever heard.
That was absolutely amazing!! The editing was crazy good, I know TH-camrs with 10 years of experience who can't do this. I really enjoyed it, and I'll be sticking around 😁
Thank you so much!! I really gave it my all with the editing, so I appreciate it a ton :)
Almost 1K!!! That's an amazing accomplishment since only having 1 video and a couple of shorts that were published somewhere between 5 days and now 👍🏻👍🏻
Keep up the good work!
This is so wonderfully and hilariously put together, especially for a first video?? I've been an E-liter main since the first game (I sucked a lot back then) and NOTHING had been more satisfying than improving over the years.
Your sense of humor is awesome and before i knew it, the video was over! As a certified mom-friend of 12+ years, the "Ur Mum" joke in the E-liter section sent me. Please continue gracing us with these gems.
(And drink water)
Awwwe, thank you so much for this!! :,) I was really nervous to put this out(still am nervous to upload new stuff hah) because I’m no competitive player and my game knowledge isn’t anything out of the ordinary. But heeeeey I’m glad my “ur mom” joke got the official mom-friend seal of approval!! XD
Hey! I also started my charger journey with the Squiffer in Splatoon 2. I loved the kit with sucction bomb and inkjet the most. I could never really get the hang of any other charger except bamboozler because of MPU. Then Splatoon 3 came along and I decided I was finally gonna get good with regular charger. And I did!! Then I moved to the E-Liter and never looked back! It's the hardest weapon in the game to master and I finally conquered this beast! Now is MINE TO WIELD AS I SEE FIT!! MUUHAHAHAHAHA!! 😈
Awesome video! You earned a sub!
As someone who plays mainly agressive shorter range weapons (ttek, trislosh wiper etc) chargers are a pain to deal with especially the eliter i hate fighting them but i have to admit chargers are fun to use. I personally like the goo tuber (partially because it's funny to do well with goo) and in 2 i played the squiffer a bit
heya hey, it's ya dynamo boi. Thanks for the intel!
Oh my god this video is so good! You have no idea how shocked I was it was your only vid, the quality is amazing
"Line of sight, haha"
-Tri-stringers
20:11 I LOST MY MIND 💀 Haha this video is fantastic! Great writing, animations, and editing! Excited to see how your channel grows!
That tripped my up 😭
As someone who likes to mane almost exclusively chargers and splatlings, I loved this, you absolutely deserve more subs, and you have certainly earned mine, looking forward to more videos!
My favorite thing about chargers is how they fixed the most frustrating parts of snipers in other games. Snipers are so frustrating because they can instantly kill you from anywhere on the map without warning. With chargers, their range is not infinite, so you can rest easy, and when you are in range, you can easily see and (for the most part) actually react when you're about to get shot. Ive had games in overwatch and tf2 where a single sniper just ruined my day because there was literally nothing i could do, but that has never happened once across all three splatoon games.
I really like this too! Instead of being able to completely spawnlock the enemy, chargers have much less range than traditional snipers and are VERY easily seen. Even when hiding behind a wall, the glowing ink tank is fairly visible. They still feel strong, but not unbeatable.
We need part 2!!!!
I LOVE this video and chargers, totally following you to see Part 2! :D
i didn't even realize this was your only video. very nice, high quality, and enjoyable!! looking forward to part two :D
Woah, This Video is QUALITY! if this is your first video then you are definitely on your way to fame. I will be wishing you nothing but goodluck!
Thank you!! :D
excellent video, subscribed!
also if you didn’t know: the Z+F is short for Zekkofin which is the new combination brand of Zekko and Firefin introduced in the fresh season. presumably it’s shortened because it wouldn’t fit in the text box.
Thank you so much for subscribing!! I’m aware of the brand collab between Zekko and Firefin, I just find it really funny that the best shortened name they came up with was “Z+F” XD
@@SplashPanda Yeah they really could have gave a better shorthand to it
Amazing video! Im glad someone put my thoughts on Chargers into words, as a VCharger and E-Liter main it pleases me!
Not only is this video really funny, but new perspective as a charger player was really entertaining!
While I was watching this I felt like you were some big youtuber i never heard of but then I looked at your subs and my jaw dropped realizing the godly quality of this video is from someone who doesn't have half a million subscribers. You are super talented and honestly deserve more subs. When you make it big I somewhat hope you remember me or something because at this point I am sure that you are gonna be big. Good luck on the journey, I know I will continue watching.
Truly, thank you so much for this comment. This has been something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, and hearing all of the kind words from you as well as other commenters genuinely warms my heart. I’ll be sure to remember you, Moose!! XD
The quality of this vid is so good and i can tell that there was a lot of effort put into it. But besides that you’re so fucking funny in a relatable way 😭
really great video!! I love all of your animations!
TH-cam recommended this video to me, I wanted to see what other videos you had and I saw that you had some shorts so technically this video is the first on your channel I guess, I must say that it has made a good first impression on me, good job and keep it up!! new sub btw
Really enjoyed the video, your art style fits it really well
Hey, thank you so much!! A lot went into the editing and little illustrations, so I’m very glad to hear that you liked them :)
Loud and proud, charger mains unite!
YEAHHHH!! We truly are E-LITER than the rest!! 💪😎
I play chargers since i got splatoon on wiiU, i love them so much but i started to love mire with splatoon 2, that addition of the charge hold was amazing. I still play them and oh boy i will never get tired of playing this weapon class. This video is absolutely amazing and great! You did a really amazing job! ❤❤❤❤❤
This was incredibly made, I love your art assets and editing style. I’ve felt like Splatoon youtube has been pretty dry lately but this was so well made! Happy to see the video is getting the recognition it deserves :D
I can’t tell you how much I loved this video, keep it up!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your comment, much thanks!! 😊
