I feel like something special for the Retro-Shot could be that the weapon’s tank fills up slowly while swimming, and when it’s full you get one extra power shot with no ink cost. 5-10 seconds to charge the shot and it would do 120 damage, but the ink would take a second after you shoot to move.
Or it could charge like a splatling/charger but then function like a normal(but powerful) shooter until it runs out, and then you need to charge again.
The concepts here were really fleshed out, I really liked the Splatana saber idea and thing it’d be cool. I think something to make it unique would be a horizontal charge and a vertical firing mode to lean in more on the agro sword style. The kits look like they’d work out well. The Retro-Shot looks really unique and is a fresh take on a very “similar-weapon” class. Great work!
Honesty, Dual splatana scissors is a real cool idea. I wonder if it'd be cool to have the charge shoot out two blades of ink spray in a cross shape, with more range, at the cost of less damage in the non-sweet spot. Maybe continue that for regular attacks, so it's more for close range groups of enemies. Give it reef slider and curling to make it able to get closer to the action
If you wanna make the retro shot really crazy (while leaning into the whole "ink tank" motif), you could make it have low/mid ink efficiency, but splatting an enemy would fully refill your ink. Ideally, this would turn it into a strong fighter, specifically in its ability to survive 1v2s and never having to leave the front lines.
As a veteran of weapon concept making these weapons seem really well thought out. There’s a lot of just cool gimmicks that feel like they would be fun to play! Funnily enough I also came up with an idea for a splatana light saber (it was a hairdryer that spat out a firey beam of ink) but yours is a way better, a glow stick just makes sense. Also the retro shot was just a cool idea for a weapon, using an old ink tank was genius. But maybe the gimmick it could have is that it’s a more midrange version of the Jr, with the ink tank in the middle giving the user some extra ink (like 20% more?) in exchange for having a slower ink recovery time. Also just for funzies I’m gonna give your weapons some better names (in my opinion) The kettle: The Steam Streamer The streamer: The squeeze beamer The splatana saver: the glow-off splatana The retro shot: the salvage shot (both names are good, I just wants to make another one) Anyway, great video! I really wanna see your concepts for other weapon classes like blasters or brushes!
One idea I thought of is like one of those small pencil sharpeners as a slosher. IDK I just like the idea of Splatoon adding more school supplies as weapons.
Kelp Ketter having Splash Wall? Might help keep higher damage weapons off you a little bit, as you're much lower in damage output, allowing you to get more hits on your target while they can't hit you back. Might also help with their active debuff. Might be a bit OP but some chaos is fun, right?
Chaos won afterall XD, that's for sure a good idea. Push those bigger threats to the wayside and allow it to use its higher range makes sense, overpowered or not!
Maybe the Retro Shot could be like a dual tank, where you could just fire to your heart’s content and when you run out of ink you just slide the tank off the holder and swap it with the one on your back. The only drawback to this is that it takes a while to swap out tanks and you have to swim longer to fill up both tanks.
the kettle slosher is the funniest and coolest idea gotta say, and the steam being similar to toxic mist is a good idea! everything else kinda mixed on, probably because I don't really pay attention to weapon stats too much, though I wonder how the streamer changes it firing style the retro-shot and the ink-saber are sick; the retro-shot I love since the repurposed splat1 ink tank, that probably could probably have reduced ink tank usage, or just a second tank altogether. ink-saber is awesome for obvious reasons, and could also have a similar affect to the kettle slosher since... *Radiation*
One idea I had that could really set the splatana saber apart from the existing splatanas was to make the dash forward a thrust like in fencing; more of a stab than a slash (probably with a bit more start-up). This would give the one-shot a lot more range, but it could be balanced out by giving it a tipper hit-box or something; the hilt area being a sort of sour spot (basically Marth shied breaker in splatoon). Great video! A lot of great concepts that would fit really well in the game.
never have I seen a fan idea for anything in a game yet so desperately wanted it. For extra effect you can even make it based on a needle of some sort (maybe a toothpick or if you really want to get interesting a safety pin so where as you held charge it would unwind itself to have a point.) I doubt it would be very strong but it would surely be really fun!
I planned a brush for this video but it got pushed to whenever I do the next one. Not a brush main at all, but they deserve a lot more then what they have :(
How about a pool noodle splatana? The projectiles are really wide and the melee range is twice as long as the wiper. I imagine it could have the damage of the stamper but be even slower as the trade off for the larger projectiles and melee range. I think the weapon would be really great at area denial, since the horizontal projectiles are so wide, so we should give it toxic mist and big bubbler to make that area denial even better. An alternate kit could be splash wall and wavebreaker, which still sticks to the theme of area denial.
Alriiighty! New weapon concept video means it's time for my info-dump on my concepts. I won't go into too many specifics because there's a lot of them, but if asked I can answer. Also I only give kits for the vanilla kits. I do have some alt kits written down. *Splatterfan*: A shooter-splatling kind of combo. It looks like your standard shooter but with a rotary fan around the nozzle. Firing for long durations increases range and fire rate drastically, but nerfs damage just as much. Splat Bomb, Ink Vac. *Pinpoint Charger*: Silenced, Lever-Action Sniper, laser only appears at the end of it's range, which is in-between Splat and E-liter. Also only has standard turf at the end of the range with a thin line of ink dropped along the shot. Tap shots turf normally. No scopes, no stored charges, hand powered. Think the old ink pens with the little lever on the side being the trigger, pull to charge. Suction Bombs, Triple Inkstrike. *Motoroller*: Charger-roller. Standard swings with no charge are slightly slower than splat roller and splashes just as much, first charge requires the trigger to be held for a Dynamo's length and deals slightly more with less damage, and a full 2nd stage charge unleashes a massive wave of ink that will 1 shot anyone within a Splattershot Nova's range. A 2nd stage vertical swing acts like the Octo-Samurai's swing (Traveling along the ground in a wave) and stops when it hits a wall, enemy, or the end of it's range. Rolling does have multiple stages as well, allowing you to roll faster than a splat roller, so use that to your advantage, but don't hit a wall or all that speed is gone. Extra Heavy weight and special depletion though, so best get some muscles to lift that beast. Splash Wall, Ink Vac. *Splasha Brella*: A brella that flings ink out, like a slosher, when it opens it's canopy. Canopy launch recharge is instant but can't be launched until the previous is poofed/timed out. Broken shields recharge after 2 seconds. If you've ever broken an umbrella and the parasol goes upwards, you know how it looks. Burst Bomb, Tri-Zooka. *Blastoff Dualies*: Blaster Dualies. Dodge rolls instead launch you upwards at most twice, firing both blasters at once at the peak of your blastoff and preventing a second blast if fired on your first. 4 shot splash, 3 shot direct, 2 shot splash during blastoff (and having a following shot from normal firing mode), 1 shot direct during blastoff. Range is in-between normal and Range, but splash is slightly less the radius than normal. Suction Bombs, Crab Tank. *Cross-Stringer*: Shooter stringer. First press of ZR charges the shots. After charging to the desired level, you can release ZR, the charges are now stored. Next press releases the previous charge, then charges the next shot. Can tap shot to fire 1 shot, first charge charges 3 shots, full charge charges 5 total shots that can 1HKO if all hit. Infinite stored charge, strafe speed is slow when firing and gets faster during the charge. Jump-shots do not turn the weapon to the side, but retains perfect accuracy. Looks like a crossbow, shots are fired in a flat-ish X. (Surprisingly, I don't have a kit for this one.) *[Weapon Unnamed: Slosher-Roller]*: A slosher that launches balls of ink that bounce off of walls and enemies. Balls get smaller and faster the farther they travel. 1 shots point blank, heavy knockback and charge up time, shots "can" be lobbed, but they do not go too high. Looks like one of those swirly shells but flat instead of a point. 🐚 (Also no kit because of the lack of a name) [That idea is an addition that I'm skeptical about bc both Curling Bombs and the Bloblobber exist.] *Splatana Squeegers*: Dual-held splatanas that are very fast but very short ranged. Charged slashes allow you to dodge dash to a side before releasing the still-a-1HKO slash based on what direction you're moving. Backwards dash slashes cause you to backflip over possible enemies. (Also no kit, many of my "2nd Wave" weapons don't have one.) *Classic E-Liter 3K*: (Technically not my own idea, there was a concept from the Splat 2 era that I adopted and altered.) Exactly as it sounds, the OG returns with slightly longer range and damage than the 4K, however it lacks in the new inner workings and is unable to store a charge and pierce shots. No scoped 3K however, as the current scopes have a different attachment than the Classic does. Squid Beacons and Crab Tank. *Can-Im-PACT Blaster* (Name is a WIP, wanted Can and/or Im-PACT in it. I thought it sounds like Cannon-PACT when spoken fast.): A slow, compact, and slightly-longer-ranged blaster with built-in Object Shredding tech that really packs a punch to whatever it hits directly. 150 direct with 25 splash damage, but deals 3x damage to objects. An extra Object Shredder ability has a weaker effect on the weapon due to the tech, however. Near perfect accuracy while jumping, regardless of Intensify Action. Looks like a soda can with the usual attachments to make it into a weapon. Fizzy Bomb and Reefslider. Edit: I'm sorry. I left out two more of my weapons that I've dubbed "Illegal" because of their out-of-the-box concepts. They're also based around some OCs of someone so there's that. *Mistmaw Roller*: A slightly heavier modified splat roller that releases toxic mist behind it while it rolls, and whoever is caught in the mist has their ink siphoned from them directly to your tank, therefore rolling uses twice as much ink as normal. Looks like your average roller except the end of it has a bite taken out of it for some reason. No sub weapon, Ultra Stamp. Originally had Ink Vac but Big Swig exists. Royal-B Brella: While it looks different design wise, having a rounder canopy that covers more of your sides, its a modified undercover brella. When the canopy breaks, fire rate is doubled and Ink consumption is halved until the canopy recovers. It does not recover via assists/splats. Auto-Bombs and Booyah Bomb.
Not me writing a script for this same concept then realizing people would probably think I'm copying you if I go through with it... One of my weapons is *literally* a Splatana Saber. Mine is made out a pool noodle with completely different mechanics though loool. I just figured I'd ask for your blessing before doing mine (to be fair, I intend on making a whole update where I make 10 new kits and 3 new weapons JUST like the first seasonal update) Oops, I rambled, BUT I really liked these ideas. I had a LOT of fun watching this!
If they say your copied then just show them this comment, because the idea you have sounds super different but interesting so I'd love to see it personally!
I absolutely love the idea of the Streamer! (Gootuber and Streamer meme team anyone?) The splatana Saber is also just freaking sick, as all lightsabers are. A blaster-splatana crossover is welcome in my books! Speaking of Splatana crossovers, I've had the idea for a Dualie Splatana since I first tried out both classes for the first time in the Splatfest Demo (Team scissors baby!). How I figured it would work would be something like this; Similar wide-slash damage to the wiper, but slightly faster attack speed, similar to the Dualie Squelchers, and slightly reduced range to compensate. The horizontal slash is where it gets its gimmick; A double-slash-dash! After charging once (about the same speed as the wiper, maybe sliiightly slower?) you get the usual dash attack if grounded, but if you keep holding it for about another half-second, you get a second charge state, similar to the ballpoint splatling. This second charge, when the button is released, with send you forwards at about the range of a normal Wiper charged-dash, though it doesn't one-shot and instead deals 60-ish damage, but after that, if you press the button again while in a dualie-like cooldown animation, you do a sick spinning slash that covers a wide area in front of you (not to the sides, don't wanna make this OP lol), doing full one-shot damage. (about 140, to round off at a nice 200 damage on non-player targets like shields and craebs) Edit: I forgot to mention what the Dualie Splatanas would look like and be called! Introducing; The Dualie Snippers! Appearing like giant, cartoony, child-safe scissors (The semi-blunt ones they have for arts and crafts at places like libraries and preschools) with see-through handles for storing the ink, inspired by hollow plastic handles for stuff like milk cartons and jugs. Alternate names were the Dualie Blades (kinda bland), and the Dualie Cuts/Cutters (Deep cut reference, possibly? Big man's main?!? FLIPPER USABLE HANDLES!?!?!?)
I love the Kelp Kettler but I think putting an effect like toxic mist on a primary fire is a bad idea from a balancing standpoint, being able to spam an effect that cripples mobility seams kind of broken. My idea would be to give it two firing modes kinda like a splatana, a normal firing mode which works as a fast long range weak poking tool and a charged "boiling" firing mode that shoots a slow powerful close range widespread shot, the steam effect could go on that mode making it more manageable.
Idea for the stream shot maybe instead of pressing the button to charge you could let it charge when your in kid form and not attacking and when you hold you just rapid fire good video
This video is very inspiring and really makes me want to make up my own ideas for Splatoon! Some of the things I've come up with: *Sprayers* - A new weapons type that's based mainly around flamethrowers which are used mainly for chipping at players. These weapons would have large tanks on the user's back next to the normal ink tank. *Graffiti Spray T-93 - Sprayer* - The most basic sprayer weapon, it's a mid ranged sprayer weapon with a medium-large hitbox that is capable of skirmishing players and forcing them out of areas. The damage this weapon deals per second is low, however, so it isn't awfully overpowered. The name of this weapon references graffiti as well as the T-93 referencing the Type 93 flamethrower which was a flamethrower that originated in Japan, and the way this weapon looks would also reference the Type 93 flamethrower's tank on the back as well as a spray can for the main weapon. *Sting-Spray PSI - Sprayer* - A sprayer weapon based on the Stingray from Splatoon 2, turning from a special weapon into a backline sprayer weapon. This weapon is far ranged and reaches a little farther than a splatterscope, and has a thinner hitbox than the Graffiti Spray T-93, while it also deals more damage per second. The weapon lost its ability to have a shockwave and pierce through walls, and has kept the short start-up the weapon has. The weapon has also gained a fall-off part of its spray which allows it to reach a little further, though dealing less damage. The name of this weapon references the Sting Ray combined with Spray, along with the PSI part referencing Pounds per Square Inch, the units used to calculate Pressure. Since the Sting-Ray is based on a pressure washer, this weapon is also based on one.
here's an idea that i never fully thought about: an inkbrush that works like a mop. you sweep up enemy ink and then fling it back at them as your own, in the same way the ink vac takes enemy ink and shoots it back, but probably not as OP.
@@BabbleCacophony Well, I think it’d be painting over it. From the way OP worded things, it seems like this weapon has a gimmick tied to the running mechanic that’s usually only utilized for movement. I’m not sure if it charges your next brush swipe, or if it’s a separate attack that procs when you stop running, dynamically flowing into a more powerful brush stroke. (I’m quite partial to the latter of the two, myself) I’m guessing there’s a trade off in tap-shot damage being low, (5?) as well as the paint output being significantly worse than mainline brushes. (It probably paints better with the “charge shot” but you need to run a bit for that. Btw, I’m thinking the charge shot does like…60 damage?) The run speed might be closer to that of an octobrush as well. (Maybe slower, if that’s more balanced) We can give it Fizzies so it has a mobility tool, as well as a good poking mechanism. (Definitely no favorite sub weapon bias there) For the special, it might be best to give it missiles, due to the playstyle seeming to be more hit-and-run. It can deploy missiles from a safe place, and then get back to dashing in and out of the enemy’s range. It won’t be getting them super often, due to paint output, so I feel like it’s ok to give it the most annoying special in the game.
I think the problem with giving the Stream Shot the Trizooka or Triple Inkstrike is that it gives it even more overlap with the Splattershot, which it’s already competing with. Sure, Inkjet isn’t great, but they’ll probably buff it, and it fits the weapon’s playstyle and very few weapons have it, letting it stand out more. Also, the Retro-Shot has the exact same kit as the Kensa Splattershot, which is even closer to it then the Stream Shot. I’d give it something very different, like Beacon and Zipcaster or something.
Those are all fair critics, looking back on it. I wish I gave it inkjet. I actually like that special myself😅 just thought others may not like the idea.
I like the idea of thinking of new weapon types, and I'm surprised there aren't any alt kits An alt I thought of for the kettle is "Hot Cocoa kelp kettler" were it has torpedo for the sub and tacticooler for the special (pretend the special is handing out fresh hot chocolate for a boost) complete with a gift wrapped decal on the weapon If there had to be a unique shooter "Splattershot Sr." It's a vintage splattershot made for modern play, using designs of original splattershots from the early days of turf war sports, looking like very old water guns. It's range is shorter than a splash o matic but a tad more spread. The vanilla kit has a very vintage color scheme having a splatbomb for the sub but super chumps for the special in place of what would've been It's bomb launchers While the alternative kit "Anniversary Splattershot Sr." Has a more premium looking design being black and gold with special decals on it, with fizzy bomb for sub and booyah bomb for special to make it a very special celebration for the weapon
Kettle - Love the concept, though I can't tell how well balanced the Kettle concept would be because it seems really easy to invalidate the kettle attacker unless their range was really good or the bullets traveled really fast. I can see it easily losing battles as a support even when slowing down opponents because it would only be effective against weapons that skirmish. And skirmishers run quick respawn, so I would honestly just suggest it being a 2 hit kill weapon so that it can poke one person to scare them and to even pressure longer ranged weapons that would otherwise be better picks than it. Also the toxic mist effect would be decently effective if it lasted for 3 seconds. 1 second is too short for it to have a tangible impact from the perspective of the user, and 3 seconds is just long enough to be painfully inconvenient for the victim. I think I would honestly go for autobomb instead of suction bomb so that you can locate people and shoot where they're going to be, to debuff them if they're not careful. Streamer - I think it would be neat if the Streamer was kind of like a mini-sting ray, in the sense that it shoots a continuous beam with a range and duration based on how long you've charged it for and turning while shooting has a bit of delay, but it has perfect accuracy and mediocre painting unless you're shooting directly at the ground. Burst bomb honestly feels perfect with either your idea or my suggestion and I always welcome more Trizooka, so no complaints there. Saber - No complaints here at all for the general design of the main weapon. Also no complaints for the sub and special lol, this is basically perfect. Retroshot - I think it would be neat if this had some function that's basically a "reverse falloff" of accuracy. Where when you initially start shooting with mediocre accuracy and better painting and then the shot becomes more precise with better range (Jet Squelcher or Hydra if Jet ain't enough) the longer you've been shooting for. Although the player would have to stop shooting for a full second for it to return to the lower range, less accurate shot. I think with this, I would personally give it Splashwall so that it actually has the ability to get that momentum going during a skirmish. And I honestly think that any special would work, but I might suggest Ink Vac as a potential special for a secondary kit, just because the special (in concept) seems to be about reversing enemy momentum. All that being said, I really like your ideas because they fit the aesthetic of the game from a visual, thematic, and conceptual standpoint. I've seen some weapon design suggestions that just fundamentally didn't make much sense to me, like a pair of gauntlets that would have a combo system built in and things like that, so your ideas are very nice and refreshing. Also your artwork is really nice :D
I think a whip would be another idea. I would dub it the “Splatlash” It’s excellent and kills at mid to long range but super mediocre at short range. You can do a horizontal hit or charge for a vertical lash hit. It’s basically a side grade of your average Splatana. The design could be based on any cord or something else creative?
I came up with this weapon idea when I was going to bed last night after watching this: Did you know that millions of inklings and octolings' are splatted each month? You could be one of them! So why not consider protecting yourself with Splatware_Protection.exe!? This oversized flash drive is a type of brella, but unlike other brellas, Splatware_Protection's umbrella, or should I say pop-up window homes in on enemies like an auto bomb or seeker from 1. Our state of the art protection comes equipped with point sensor and wave breaker to add even more pressure to those pesky spalat-hackers. Consider protecting yourself from malicious splats with Splatware_Protection.exe today for only one Sheldon license at level ?? now! Also for little details, when you open the window, and before you launch it from the flash drive, the window will say in inkling ”loading Splatware_Protection.exe X%” with a loading bar below. Once the loading bar is complete, the window will now say inkling: "Scanning for ink-viruses". Once it finds a player it will then say: ”Splat-virus detected, now removing.” if the player is splatted: ”Splat-virus successfully removed.” If it fails it will have the word ”error” rise up and fade away. Also it would be cool if the ink shot from the drive and window was pixelated, this is only aesthetic and serves no purpose, like the ultra stamp's logo that is stamped.
A concept I got for dualies: heavyweight dualies that are an even more extreme version of Gloogas, incredibly immobile post roll but becoming full scale turrets.
I want the sabertana to be a real thing. Shakes fist at nintendo- Edit: I just thought of what would happen if a fan blade.....got put onto an umbrella handle. The answer is spinning ink spraying deathbrella, probably.
My new class of choice is a trash can full of paint. Varying sizes, up to 50 gallon at largest, as a heavy weapon at that point for sure. Tip it over, refill. Knock it over and shove it, paint a huge area in front of you as you run through your own wake. Big reload time, big payoff. Fun, unique cheese class at base level, massive zoning class at higher levels in certain situations. Secondaries are used much more heavily by these guys. Inkjet, tacticooler, and slingshot move I can't remember the name of now would all be fun choices for the class. This is inspired by my job. When we close the restaraunt we work at, we use a 50-gallon trash can to dump floor cleaner every night. Sometimes I use a five gallon bucket instead and act like a slosher. I'm 24yo and this is normal, fuck you.
I'll be adding more to this comment as I watch the video but anyways; Kit suggestions! Kelp Kettler: I think splat bomb would work best as it provides a strong get-off-me tool when rolled and a great backline pressure tool just in general. Paint isn't too shabby either and you might be able to combo off the nonlethal range. Very much agree with wave Streamer seems like a bamboozler with a charge hold, and I like the kit you already gave it but a second kit I think could be torpedo and booyah bomb. Torpedo does damage combos (when rolled) and pressures people through distraction, and booyah bomb doesn't have much synergy with the main weapon but could give it a larger presence on the field Retro-Shot: I like the idea of having it reference an old kit, seems like something Nintendo would actually do with the weapon. The damage it does seems a bit excessive but its hard to tell how fast the weapon shoots just off of the fire rate number so it might actually be fine, a visualization of its speed would help. An alternate kit i could see for it would be burst bomb trizooka, but burst bomb also combos way too well with an 80 damage shot from a shooter. Maybe tone down the max damage a little bit or consider the weapon's accuracy
A funny weapon that could work in my opinion is a Yo-Yo based weaon. Spla'-Yo potentially you can swing it fast and low-med dmg and that will cover some spots ahead of you, then if you hold it down the shoot button, you could Walk the Dog and have an active ranged hitbox (like a charged splatana slash, but longer and lil bit wider). And at the end of the trail there will be an active hitbox whixh will spin constantly, you'd walk slowly with it for a downs side and you'd need to commit to it since it could have some lag frames when trying to recall it. Making it some kind of trapper tool. Could work in zones or rainmaker. As a sub you could give it Splash Wall, as a special it'll have Inkjet since it kinda struggles with range. It be a fun class for sure.
I really like the idea of the Kelp Kettler and the boiling hot ink effect! Made me wonder what it would be like if there was a slosher with the opposite temperature. How about a slosher based on a mini fridge that shot chunks of ice that froze the ground upon landing. It would cause a small area to become icy and the enemy team wouldn’t be able to paint over it for a few seconds (it would thaw afterward, turning back into normal ink). The downside being that you and your teammates would slip on it too, and couldn’t swim through it while it was frozen. The weapon would have good range (a bit less than explosher) and decent damage (60 direct, 40 indirect), but its paint would be mediocre and fire rate would be a bit slow. I’d give it curling bomb and Tacticooler to match the aesthetic, as well as to help it with movement, since it would struggle with that. Just a silly idea. Loving your splatoon concepts
My version of Boiling Ink is pretty much an area-denial tool of immense duration and punishing contact damage. And weapons that use that kind of ink are dedicated killing weapons, optimized for range and damage, at cost of turfing ability.
I was thinking the streamer could be the equivalent to the old panic attack from tf2, a midway between the nautilus and the bamboozler. Quick charges that fires 3-4 high damage shots in a burst when maxed (maybe a bit less than squiffer range), but the burst itself has decent end lag and it’s pretty ink hungry. Keep the unlimited charge hold, and you get an ambush sniper that plays more aggressively, but suffers cause it can be easily caught with its pants down. Mitigate those weaknesses with something like point sensor, line marker, or splash wall, and give it something like big bubbler to give it a safe place to duck in and out of, or ink jet to synergize with its “hide behind the door” playstyle
I have a weapon concept called the Splatinata, based on a naginata polearm. It would be very heavy and slow, on the level of a dynamo, and have very high damage. Its standard attack would be as long as a charged Stamper swing, but its charged attack would swing the weapon 360 around the player instead of making a forward swing, encouraging attacks on groups of players. Secondary would be something weak like maybe the point sensor, cause I would give it Booyah Bomb as its special.
*done editing these are all fantastic ngl gonna edit this as im watching(bottom line love the video, art and concepts! 1 sub idea that you can entirely dismiss if you want to): i like the steam idea(prolly a bit less then a second id imagine a fizz soundeffect like the explosher shot fizz) and the buff aoe for teammates tho that id say should be more of a sub than main weapon thing. a burst bomb like sub that paints a bit bigger than burst 35-40 dmg cleanses you and allies hit with it from dmg and being marked and recovers ally ink maybe? about half what the sub costs at base. shape it after a bath bomb, duck shape? burst squeaker(squeaky clean) love the kelp kettler id give it suction bomb , mine or the thing i just described and yeah honestly i could see wave breaker but also rain maker. id say give the streamer shot burst suction or torpedo. i imgane this to be kinda a snipe writer charge storage but you can swim? id give it ink strike so it gets a burst painting tool. i wish inkjet perpetually generated hp while not being shot (just enough to not get one shot by anything) otherwise idve given it that the saber is pretty much perfect tho im biased against booyah, so wail for me. for the retro hear me out: its large so why not let it shoot large projectiles or rather blobs. i love the blob lobber and i kinda want a 1or 2 bounce shooter that uses blobs for a more junkrat feel of a weapon. instrike n trizooka are good options.
I really hope they add more Splatanas with unique attributes. One with an explosion at the of it's vertical slash sounds super cool! I wouldnt mind for something simpler like a spin attack instead of a vertical slash would also work.
All of these weapons are great, you deserve more recognition, really. The Steamer is a good idea, I feel like the steam effect on the ground sounds like something very annoying to play against, so this could be an effect that happens directly to the player if he's directly touched by the projectile. To compensate, it could have a much higher range than a sloshing machine with the same projectile speed, making it a support slosher that deals low damage but with high range to slow down oppenents from far away.
I feel splatana saber can keep the fizzy bomb, but I can Say the special should probably ether trizooka or (unlikely) reef slider since ether one can work with the saber as well but I feel trizooka can work more for the splatsaber
You! You are someone who I want to talk to! I had an idea to turn an entire stone fountain into an umbrella but no shield. But wow I love all of these too! Thanks youtube for recommending this! I legit did actually land a position with Nintendo but I don't have any connection to the devs so these ideas get stuck with me. Hopefully one day.
I think that there is not a revolver like weapon in splatoon 3 the way i think it would work is like a weaker charger and there is a six shot limit but if you hold the charge you can fan the revolver and it will shoot all six of the shots but it will be less acurate. The weapon would be called the splatvolver and it would look like a nerf revolver.
I watched earlier but lost my account to a littoral toilet (rip phone) so I'm borrowing a cousins account to say I like the retro and kettle ideas but they could be better like the retro instead of a shooter how about a splattling basicly has a mid to sluggish charge and fires sluggishly as well but fires mini sloshing machine projectiles they are weaker of course but the volume makes up for it I say this cause the tank was huge too big to be a shooter and would basically be like wielding a anti Air gun as for the kettle I saw a reply about the toxic mist idea and that is also good but Remer how Sheldon describes the explosser your lobbing super heated ink so why not make it a side grade of the explosher basicly smaller and weaker boom but a faster fling speed it would be nice for salmon run as well cause 2 words: bomb properties thanks for letting me rant
I feel like a cool gimmick for the streamer would be if it consumed less in if you are standing in in, and it makes sense because for what it’s based on, you submerge it in water to refil, but that’s just an idea.
A set of dualies that trades its dodge roll for an evasive leap. An Inkbrush that is a large fountain pen. it uses thrusting attacks like a spear which squirt ink from the tip. It has a higher dps than the inkbrush, and a slightly longer range, but it barely inks and it requires you to be very accurate. It inks even less when rolling than the inkbrush, just a thin line, but it is even faster.
Yo, I think a cool idea for the Splatana Saber would be to include a glowing effect that can communicate something to the player. While the Splatana Saber is glowing, it would let you know you can shoot out the explosive shot you mentioned before, but then it would lose its glow, returning to regular Splatana ranged attacks. After a while it could charge up again, (it would charge up faster if not swinging) I think after every respawn, the Splatana Saber will be in its glowing state again, but super jumping resets the timer avoiding the fact that you “aren’t swinging the weapon” and getting the glow effect while jumping.
I think the streamer should work as a mini lightning gun with low damage but a very large range with little spread. It’d focus on chip damage and weeding out any near death players with its main weakness being close range combat. I also see there being a variant with a low range one but with a super high movement speed to make it mid range
Bionicle and splatoon are more similar than you think With bionicle you get masks that give you different abilities, and in splatoon you get gear that gives you different abilities And instead of elemental powers you get ink powers and different tools to channel that power Splatana Stamper is Onua Nuva’s Quake Breakers
I think the retro shot's gimmick could be that it's full auto when you hold the trigger with a bit of a sluggish fire rate, but if you tap the trigger, it fires as fast as you can pull the trigger (and also the damage goes down a little when fired this way to compensate for the insane speed it could potentially fire at)
@@itstictac2825 squeezer has a capped fire rate when you use the tap shot, and the tap fire is slower than the full auto fire, so if anything it would be like a reverse squeezer if you wanted to compare the two
@@itstictac2825 but I'd imagine the retro shot would have much higher object damage than squeezer, so rapid mashing against a crab tank for example, would completely shred it
I think the kettle slosher should, instead of having toxic mist affects, have a sort of poison damaging system. Normal damage would be 30, but it would deal more damage as the ink is left on the enemy. One slosh results in 2 damage per second, two sloshes would result in 5 damage per second.
The kettle could be a bit more balanced if you had to change up the mist part. Hold down zr> heats up the kettle>dings when steaming hot> shot creates toxic mist effect
For the Kelp Kettle I would go with burst bomb to an easy one two combo at close range and big bubbler since it seems like it would need the protection
I had a blaster idea called the "Jazz Blaster" which looks like a trumpet and shoots in a wiggly line rather than a straight one to cover a wider area than other blasters. And also makes appropriate trumpet noises when you shoot, of course.
I always liked the Splatoon 1 and 2 ink tanks better than 3's so seeing them "reincarnated," so to speak, would be amazing! Also, if I didn't know better I'd just say your character was directly from Splatoon, its so cute and it'd fit perfectly among the other scrunklies!
@@GardenAsada Also, as an arthritis enjoyer, we need more brushes! I don't know how they haven't done a marker or something yet. Maybe a stick of chalk? haha.
Kelp Kettler giving toxic mist effects for a second? *Bro that’s a disruptor 2.0 that’s gonna be top tier as fuck, especially with that kit* Which is to say I love the idea
I have a fun idea for retro shot: The weapon itself is extremely ink hungry and has 28 damage with splattershot range and fire rate. However, it is capable of shooting after your ink tank is depleted for 24 damage. Kit is Fizzy/Suction with Wail/Booyah.
Yoooooo rad stuff! Glad you’re feeling good about the last video, and looking forward to your awesome ideas in the future! The saber speaks to me, and it exactly what I’ve been wanting to see in the future.
New name ideas: Kettle slosher: Steamer Splatana Saber: Splatana Saber (too good of a name) Retro shot: Retro blaster(if you go with the blaster idea from all the other comments) OR Splattershot Retro
Nothing! I was talking about skulltcg. Other's did comment that, and I said the same lol. I love failboat and fyrus, I just didn't realize that skull was no good as I hadn't been following them for years.
The saber should have no projectile, but in return, its vertical slash reflects enemy shots. With good timing, a charger can shoot at you, you can answer with "who asked?" And like an absolute giga chad, proceed to send that s--t back to them.
@@GardenAsada In the unlikely case this gets into the actual game, I can only imagine all the "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it" memes with the Sheldon dialogue for it.
2-3 kits for each Kettler Kettler: Suction/Splat bomb and Wave like you mentioned. Chai Kettler: Squid Beakons and Big Bubbler: A more support oriented setup that struggles more to fight on its own, but can help protect and move its allies without basically giving the steam trails a built-in tacticooler Espresso Kettler: Torpedo and Killer Wail 5.1: Uses its abilities as a movement reduction tool more offensively, having a lot of ways to poke and chip and force enemies into bad situations. Streamshot Vanilla Kit: Burst and Zooka Soda-Streamshot: Torpedo and Tacticooler (Or Fizzy and Tacticooler): Mixing aggression and support. Honestly not sure of a third kit for this one. Splatana Saber Vanilla: Fizzy and Wail like you said. Bright Saber: Point Sensor and either Bubbler or Wavebreaker Darth Saber: Burst bomb and Booyah Bomb Retro-Shot Vanilla: Burst Bomb and Triple Ink Strike Tentatek: Suction Bomb and Trizooka Wasabi: Splat Bomb and... Ink Strike? (kinda messed up this bit by using strike as a bomb rush equivalent)
I feel like something special for the Retro-Shot could be that the weapon’s tank fills up slowly while swimming, and when it’s full you get one extra power shot with no ink cost. 5-10 seconds to charge the shot and it would do 120 damage, but the ink would take a second after you shoot to move.
oh, you know what, I like that, the slow refill would help balance out the idea naturally and gives it a fun gimmick to boot. Great idea!
i dont know why but i really just wanna have an animation of the inkling putting ink into the gun
idk why it would just be so cool
Or it could charge like a splatling/charger but then function like a normal(but powerful) shooter until it runs out, and then you need to charge again.
Maby it could be a weak blaster with huge blast area
Yo that’s such a cool way to highlight the ink tank motif.
The concepts here were really fleshed out, I really liked the Splatana saber idea and thing it’d be cool. I think something to make it unique would be a horizontal charge and a vertical firing mode to lean in more on the agro sword style. The kits look like they’d work out well. The Retro-Shot looks really unique and is a fresh take on a very “similar-weapon” class. Great work!
Thanks! Means a lot, and switching between horizontal and vertical for charge and firing be pretty sick ngl! Love that!
Honesty, Dual splatana scissors is a real cool idea. I wonder if it'd be cool to have the charge shoot out two blades of ink spray in a cross shape, with more range, at the cost of less damage in the non-sweet spot. Maybe continue that for regular attacks, so it's more for close range groups of enemies. Give it reef slider and curling to make it able to get closer to the action
Your content is much better than I'd expect from someone who expected 50 views. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!😆
If you wanna make the retro shot really crazy (while leaning into the whole "ink tank" motif), you could make it have low/mid ink efficiency, but splatting an enemy would fully refill your ink. Ideally, this would turn it into a strong fighter, specifically in its ability to survive 1v2s and never having to leave the front lines.
Ohmygosh that'd be so overpowered in high level play. I love that idea to be honest😆
Tf2 much?
@@katswarrior yes.
just so its not to over powered make it only like 25-30% of the ink tank
As a veteran of weapon concept making these weapons seem really well thought out. There’s a lot of just cool gimmicks that feel like they would be fun to play! Funnily enough I also came up with an idea for a splatana light saber (it was a hairdryer that spat out a firey beam of ink) but yours is a way better, a glow stick just makes sense.
Also the retro shot was just a cool idea for a weapon, using an old ink tank was genius. But maybe the gimmick it could have is that it’s a more midrange version of the Jr, with the ink tank in the middle giving the user some extra ink (like 20% more?) in exchange for having a slower ink recovery time. Also just for funzies I’m gonna give your weapons some better names (in my opinion)
The kettle: The Steam Streamer
The streamer: The squeeze beamer
The splatana saver: the glow-off splatana
The retro shot: the salvage shot (both names are good, I just wants to make another one)
Anyway, great video! I really wanna see your concepts for other weapon classes like blasters or brushes!
That's actually a really great idea to give it that extra bit of uniqueness it needs! Love it, also like the name suggestions😋
One idea I thought of is like one of those small pencil sharpeners as a slosher. IDK I just like the idea of Splatoon adding more school supplies as weapons.
Kelp Ketter having Splash Wall? Might help keep higher damage weapons off you a little bit, as you're much lower in damage output, allowing you to get more hits on your target while they can't hit you back. Might also help with their active debuff. Might be a bit OP but some chaos is fun, right?
Chaos won afterall XD, that's for sure a good idea. Push those bigger threats to the wayside and allow it to use its higher range makes sense, overpowered or not!
Maybe the Retro Shot could be like a dual tank, where you could just fire to your heart’s content and when you run out of ink you just slide the tank off the holder and swap it with the one on your back. The only drawback to this is that it takes a while to swap out tanks and you have to swim longer to fill up both tanks.
the amount of effort into this video is just excellent and keep up your hard work.
Will do! Appreciate your support as always!!
the kettle slosher is the funniest and coolest idea gotta say, and the steam being similar to toxic mist is a good idea! everything else kinda mixed on, probably because I don't really pay attention to weapon stats too much, though I wonder how the streamer changes it firing style
the retro-shot and the ink-saber are sick; the retro-shot I love since the repurposed splat1 ink tank, that probably could probably have reduced ink tank usage, or just a second tank altogether. ink-saber is awesome for obvious reasons, and could also have a similar affect to the kettle slosher since... *Radiation*
One idea I had that could really set the splatana saber apart from the existing splatanas was to make the dash forward a thrust like in fencing; more of a stab than a slash (probably with a bit more start-up). This would give the one-shot a lot more range, but it could be balanced out by giving it a tipper hit-box or something; the hilt area being a sort of sour spot (basically Marth shied breaker in splatoon). Great video! A lot of great concepts that would fit really well in the game.
never have I seen a fan idea for anything in a game yet so desperately wanted it. For extra effect you can even make it based on a needle of some sort (maybe a toothpick or if you really want to get interesting a safety pin so where as you held charge it would unwind itself to have a point.) I doubt it would be very strong but it would surely be really fun!
@@jermm2183 It would be fun. Also the safety pin idea would fit in well I think
I'm hoping Nintendo releases something new for the brushes class ngl
I planned a brush for this video but it got pushed to whenever I do the next one. Not a brush main at all, but they deserve a lot more then what they have :(
Swinging a stone fountain???
Your wish has been granted
How about a pool noodle splatana? The projectiles are really wide and the melee range is twice as long as the wiper. I imagine it could have the damage of the stamper but be even slower as the trade off for the larger projectiles and melee range.
I think the weapon would be really great at area denial, since the horizontal projectiles are so wide, so we should give it toxic mist and big bubbler to make that area denial even better. An alternate kit could be splash wall and wavebreaker, which still sticks to the theme of area denial.
That’s a genius idea
Love these ideas! I would 100% main the splatana saber lol
Same honestly😆
Insert Star Wars references
It’s over I have the high ground
Also can the saber have a duel wielding form thing with zip cast and suction
Alriiighty! New weapon concept video means it's time for my info-dump on my concepts. I won't go into too many specifics because there's a lot of them, but if asked I can answer. Also I only give kits for the vanilla kits. I do have some alt kits written down.
*Splatterfan*: A shooter-splatling kind of combo. It looks like your standard shooter but with a rotary fan around the nozzle. Firing for long durations increases range and fire rate drastically, but nerfs damage just as much. Splat Bomb, Ink Vac.
*Pinpoint Charger*: Silenced, Lever-Action Sniper, laser only appears at the end of it's range, which is in-between Splat and E-liter. Also only has standard turf at the end of the range with a thin line of ink dropped along the shot. Tap shots turf normally. No scopes, no stored charges, hand powered. Think the old ink pens with the little lever on the side being the trigger, pull to charge. Suction Bombs, Triple Inkstrike.
*Motoroller*: Charger-roller. Standard swings with no charge are slightly slower than splat roller and splashes just as much, first charge requires the trigger to be held for a Dynamo's length and deals slightly more with less damage, and a full 2nd stage charge unleashes a massive wave of ink that will 1 shot anyone within a Splattershot Nova's range. A 2nd stage vertical swing acts like the Octo-Samurai's swing (Traveling along the ground in a wave) and stops when it hits a wall, enemy, or the end of it's range. Rolling does have multiple stages as well, allowing you to roll faster than a splat roller, so use that to your advantage, but don't hit a wall or all that speed is gone. Extra Heavy weight and special depletion though, so best get some muscles to lift that beast. Splash Wall, Ink Vac.
*Splasha Brella*: A brella that flings ink out, like a slosher, when it opens it's canopy. Canopy launch recharge is instant but can't be launched until the previous is poofed/timed out. Broken shields recharge after 2 seconds. If you've ever broken an umbrella and the parasol goes upwards, you know how it looks. Burst Bomb, Tri-Zooka.
*Blastoff Dualies*: Blaster Dualies. Dodge rolls instead launch you upwards at most twice, firing both blasters at once at the peak of your blastoff and preventing a second blast if fired on your first. 4 shot splash, 3 shot direct, 2 shot splash during blastoff (and having a following shot from normal firing mode), 1 shot direct during blastoff. Range is in-between normal and Range, but splash is slightly less the radius than normal. Suction Bombs, Crab Tank.
*Cross-Stringer*: Shooter stringer. First press of ZR charges the shots. After charging to the desired level, you can release ZR, the charges are now stored. Next press releases the previous charge, then charges the next shot. Can tap shot to fire 1 shot, first charge charges 3 shots, full charge charges 5 total shots that can 1HKO if all hit. Infinite stored charge, strafe speed is slow when firing and gets faster during the charge. Jump-shots do not turn the weapon to the side, but retains perfect accuracy. Looks like a crossbow, shots are fired in a flat-ish X. (Surprisingly, I don't have a kit for this one.)
*[Weapon Unnamed: Slosher-Roller]*: A slosher that launches balls of ink that bounce off of walls and enemies. Balls get smaller and faster the farther they travel. 1 shots point blank, heavy knockback and charge up time, shots "can" be lobbed, but they do not go too high. Looks like one of those swirly shells but flat instead of a point. 🐚 (Also no kit because of the lack of a name)
[That idea is an addition that I'm skeptical about bc both Curling Bombs and the Bloblobber exist.]
*Splatana Squeegers*: Dual-held splatanas that are very fast but very short ranged. Charged slashes allow you to dodge dash to a side before releasing the still-a-1HKO slash based on what direction you're moving. Backwards dash slashes cause you to backflip over possible enemies. (Also no kit, many of my "2nd Wave" weapons don't have one.)
*Classic E-Liter 3K*: (Technically not my own idea, there was a concept from the Splat 2 era that I adopted and altered.) Exactly as it sounds, the OG returns with slightly longer range and damage than the 4K, however it lacks in the new inner workings and is unable to store a charge and pierce shots. No scoped 3K however, as the current scopes have a different attachment than the Classic does. Squid Beacons and Crab Tank.
*Can-Im-PACT Blaster* (Name is a WIP, wanted Can and/or Im-PACT in it. I thought it sounds like Cannon-PACT when spoken fast.): A slow, compact, and slightly-longer-ranged blaster with built-in Object Shredding tech that really packs a punch to whatever it hits directly. 150 direct with 25 splash damage, but deals 3x damage to objects. An extra Object Shredder ability has a weaker effect on the weapon due to the tech, however. Near perfect accuracy while jumping, regardless of Intensify Action. Looks like a soda can with the usual attachments to make it into a weapon. Fizzy Bomb and Reefslider.
Edit: I'm sorry. I left out two more of my weapons that I've dubbed "Illegal" because of their out-of-the-box concepts. They're also based around some OCs of someone so there's that.
*Mistmaw Roller*: A slightly heavier modified splat roller that releases toxic mist behind it while it rolls, and whoever is caught in the mist has their ink siphoned from them directly to your tank, therefore rolling uses twice as much ink as normal. Looks like your average roller except the end of it has a bite taken out of it for some reason. No sub weapon, Ultra Stamp. Originally had Ink Vac but Big Swig exists.
Royal-B Brella: While it looks different design wise, having a rounder canopy that covers more of your sides, its a modified undercover brella. When the canopy breaks, fire rate is doubled and Ink consumption is halved until the canopy recovers. It does not recover via assists/splats. Auto-Bombs and Booyah Bomb.
Not me writing a script for this same concept then realizing people would probably think I'm copying you if I go through with it...
One of my weapons is *literally* a Splatana Saber. Mine is made out a pool noodle with completely different mechanics though loool.
I just figured I'd ask for your blessing before doing mine (to be fair, I intend on making a whole update where I make 10 new kits and 3 new weapons JUST like the first seasonal update)
Oops, I rambled, BUT I really liked these ideas. I had a LOT of fun watching this!
If they say your copied then just show them this comment, because the idea you have sounds super different but interesting so I'd love to see it personally!
I absolutely love the idea of the Streamer! (Gootuber and Streamer meme team anyone?) The splatana Saber is also just freaking sick, as all lightsabers are. A blaster-splatana crossover is welcome in my books!
Speaking of Splatana crossovers, I've had the idea for a Dualie Splatana since I first tried out both classes for the first time in the Splatfest Demo (Team scissors baby!).
How I figured it would work would be something like this; Similar wide-slash damage to the wiper, but slightly faster attack speed, similar to the Dualie Squelchers, and slightly reduced range to compensate.
The horizontal slash is where it gets its gimmick; A double-slash-dash! After charging once (about the same speed as the wiper, maybe sliiightly slower?) you get the usual dash attack if grounded, but if you keep holding it for about another half-second, you get a second charge state, similar to the ballpoint splatling. This second charge, when the button is released, with send you forwards at about the range of a normal Wiper charged-dash, though it doesn't one-shot and instead deals 60-ish damage, but after that, if you press the button again while in a dualie-like cooldown animation, you do a sick spinning slash that covers a wide area in front of you (not to the sides, don't wanna make this OP lol), doing full one-shot damage. (about 140, to round off at a nice 200 damage on non-player targets like shields and craebs)
Edit: I forgot to mention what the Dualie Splatanas would look like and be called! Introducing; The Dualie Snippers! Appearing like giant, cartoony, child-safe scissors (The semi-blunt ones they have for arts and crafts at places like libraries and preschools) with see-through handles for storing the ink, inspired by hollow plastic handles for stuff like milk cartons and jugs.
Alternate names were the Dualie Blades (kinda bland), and the Dualie Cuts/Cutters (Deep cut reference, possibly? Big man's main?!? FLIPPER USABLE HANDLES!?!?!?)
I love the Kelp Kettler but I think putting an effect like toxic mist on a primary fire is a bad idea from a balancing standpoint, being able to spam an effect that cripples mobility seams kind of broken. My idea would be to give it two firing modes kinda like a splatana, a normal firing mode which works as a fast long range weak poking tool and a charged "boiling" firing mode that shoots a slow powerful close range widespread shot, the steam effect could go on that mode making it more manageable.
Idea for the stream shot maybe instead of pressing the button to charge you could let it charge when your in kid form and not attacking and when you hold you just rapid fire good video
This video is very inspiring and really makes me want to make up my own ideas for Splatoon!
Some of the things I've come up with:
*Sprayers* - A new weapons type that's based mainly around flamethrowers which are used mainly for chipping at players. These weapons would have large tanks on the user's back next to the normal ink tank.
*Graffiti Spray T-93 - Sprayer* - The most basic sprayer weapon, it's a mid ranged sprayer weapon with a medium-large hitbox that is capable of skirmishing players and forcing them out of areas. The damage this weapon deals per second is low, however, so it isn't awfully overpowered.
The name of this weapon references graffiti as well as the T-93 referencing the Type 93 flamethrower which was a flamethrower that originated in Japan, and the way this weapon looks would also reference the Type 93 flamethrower's tank on the back as well as a spray can for the main weapon.
*Sting-Spray PSI - Sprayer* - A sprayer weapon based on the Stingray from Splatoon 2, turning from a special weapon into a backline sprayer weapon. This weapon is far ranged and reaches a little farther than a splatterscope, and has a thinner hitbox than the Graffiti Spray T-93, while it also deals more damage per second. The weapon lost its ability to have a shockwave and pierce through walls, and has kept the short start-up the weapon has. The weapon has also gained a fall-off part of its spray which allows it to reach a little further, though dealing less damage.
The name of this weapon references the Sting Ray combined with Spray, along with the PSI part referencing Pounds per Square Inch, the units used to calculate Pressure. Since the Sting-Ray is based on a pressure washer, this weapon is also based on one.
here's an idea that i never fully thought about: an inkbrush that works like a mop. you sweep up enemy ink and then fling it back at them as your own, in the same way the ink vac takes enemy ink and shoots it back, but probably not as OP.
An interesting idea for sure, I like it!
@@GardenAsada could be called the mopbrush or something
@@supercharged5-39 it would break splat zones but cool idea. It just shouldn't remove ink from the ground.
@@BabbleCacophony Well, I think it’d be painting over it. From the way OP worded things, it seems like this weapon has a gimmick tied to the running mechanic that’s usually only utilized for movement. I’m not sure if it charges your next brush swipe, or if it’s a separate attack that procs when you stop running, dynamically flowing into a more powerful brush stroke. (I’m quite partial to the latter of the two, myself) I’m guessing there’s a trade off in tap-shot damage being low, (5?) as well as the paint output being significantly worse than mainline brushes. (It probably paints better with the “charge shot” but you need to run a bit for that. Btw, I’m thinking the charge shot does like…60 damage?) The run speed might be closer to that of an octobrush as well. (Maybe slower, if that’s more balanced) We can give it Fizzies so it has a mobility tool, as well as a good poking mechanism. (Definitely no favorite sub weapon bias there) For the special, it might be best to give it missiles, due to the playstyle seeming to be more hit-and-run. It can deploy missiles from a safe place, and then get back to dashing in and out of the enemy’s range. It won’t be getting them super often, due to paint output, so I feel like it’s ok to give it the most annoying special in the game.
@@directrix777shinyshinyamyt4 I never fully thought through the idea but that makes a lot of sense
Really love the design that you come up with and they looked fun to use
They are all good, but I would absolutely main the saber
I think the problem with giving the Stream Shot the Trizooka or Triple Inkstrike is that it gives it even more overlap with the Splattershot, which it’s already competing with. Sure, Inkjet isn’t great, but they’ll probably buff it, and it fits the weapon’s playstyle and very few weapons have it, letting it stand out more. Also, the Retro-Shot has the exact same kit as the Kensa Splattershot, which is even closer to it then the Stream Shot. I’d give it something very different, like Beacon and Zipcaster or something.
Those are all fair critics, looking back on it. I wish I gave it inkjet. I actually like that special myself😅 just thought others may not like the idea.
I like the idea of thinking of new weapon types, and I'm surprised there aren't any alt kits
An alt I thought of for the kettle is
"Hot Cocoa kelp kettler" were it has torpedo for the sub and tacticooler for the special (pretend the special is handing out fresh hot chocolate for a boost) complete with a gift wrapped decal on the weapon
If there had to be a unique shooter
"Splattershot Sr." It's a vintage splattershot made for modern play, using designs of original splattershots from the early days of turf war sports, looking like very old water guns.
It's range is shorter than a splash o matic but a tad more spread.
The vanilla kit has a very vintage color scheme having a splatbomb for the sub but super chumps for the special in place of what would've been It's bomb launchers
While the alternative kit
"Anniversary Splattershot Sr." Has a more premium looking design being black and gold with special decals on it, with fizzy bomb for sub and booyah bomb for special to make it a very special celebration for the weapon
Kettle - Love the concept, though I can't tell how well balanced the Kettle concept would be because it seems really easy to invalidate the kettle attacker unless their range was really good or the bullets traveled really fast. I can see it easily losing battles as a support even when slowing down opponents because it would only be effective against weapons that skirmish. And skirmishers run quick respawn, so I would honestly just suggest it being a 2 hit kill weapon so that it can poke one person to scare them and to even pressure longer ranged weapons that would otherwise be better picks than it.
Also the toxic mist effect would be decently effective if it lasted for 3 seconds. 1 second is too short for it to have a tangible impact from the perspective of the user, and 3 seconds is just long enough to be painfully inconvenient for the victim. I think I would honestly go for autobomb instead of suction bomb so that you can locate people and shoot where they're going to be, to debuff them if they're not careful.
Streamer - I think it would be neat if the Streamer was kind of like a mini-sting ray, in the sense that it shoots a continuous beam with a range and duration based on how long you've charged it for and turning while shooting has a bit of delay, but it has perfect accuracy and mediocre painting unless you're shooting directly at the ground. Burst bomb honestly feels perfect with either your idea or my suggestion and I always welcome more Trizooka, so no complaints there.
Saber - No complaints here at all for the general design of the main weapon. Also no complaints for the sub and special lol, this is basically perfect.
Retroshot - I think it would be neat if this had some function that's basically a "reverse falloff" of accuracy. Where when you initially start shooting with mediocre accuracy and better painting and then the shot becomes more precise with better range (Jet Squelcher or Hydra if Jet ain't enough) the longer you've been shooting for. Although the player would have to stop shooting for a full second for it to return to the lower range, less accurate shot. I think with this, I would personally give it Splashwall so that it actually has the ability to get that momentum going during a skirmish. And I honestly think that any special would work, but I might suggest Ink Vac as a potential special for a secondary kit, just because the special (in concept) seems to be about reversing enemy momentum.
All that being said, I really like your ideas because they fit the aesthetic of the game from a visual, thematic, and conceptual standpoint. I've seen some weapon design suggestions that just fundamentally didn't make much sense to me, like a pair of gauntlets that would have a combo system built in and things like that, so your ideas are very nice and refreshing. Also your artwork is really nice :D
I think a whip would be another idea. I would dub it the “Splatlash” It’s excellent and kills at mid to long range but super mediocre at short range. You can do a horizontal hit or charge for a vertical lash hit. It’s basically a side grade of your average Splatana. The design could be based on any cord or something else creative?
I came up with this weapon idea when I was going to bed last night after watching this:
Did you know that millions of inklings and octolings' are splatted each month? You could be one of them! So why not consider protecting yourself with Splatware_Protection.exe!?
This oversized flash drive is a type of brella, but unlike other brellas, Splatware_Protection's umbrella, or should I say pop-up window homes in on enemies like an auto bomb or seeker from 1.
Our state of the art protection comes equipped with point sensor and wave breaker to add even more pressure to those pesky spalat-hackers. Consider protecting yourself from malicious splats with Splatware_Protection.exe today for only one Sheldon license at level ?? now!
Also for little details, when you open the window, and before you launch it from the flash drive, the window will say in inkling ”loading Splatware_Protection.exe X%” with a loading bar below. Once the loading bar is complete, the window will now say inkling: "Scanning for ink-viruses". Once it finds a player it will then say: ”Splat-virus detected, now removing.” if the player is splatted: ”Splat-virus successfully removed.” If it fails it will have the word ”error” rise up and fade away. Also it would be cool if the ink shot from the drive and window was pixelated, this is only aesthetic and serves no purpose, like the ultra stamp's logo that is stamped.
A concept I got for dualies: heavyweight dualies that are an even more extreme version of Gloogas, incredibly immobile post roll but becoming full scale turrets.
I want the sabertana to be a real thing. Shakes fist at nintendo-
Edit: I just thought of what would happen if a fan blade.....got put onto an umbrella handle.
The answer is spinning ink spraying deathbrella, probably.
My new class of choice is a trash can full of paint. Varying sizes, up to 50 gallon at largest, as a heavy weapon at that point for sure.
Tip it over, refill. Knock it over and shove it, paint a huge area in front of you as you run through your own wake.
Big reload time, big payoff. Fun, unique cheese class at base level, massive zoning class at higher levels in certain situations.
Secondaries are used much more heavily by these guys.
Inkjet, tacticooler, and slingshot move I can't remember the name of now would all be fun choices for the class.
This is inspired by my job. When we close the restaraunt we work at, we use a 50-gallon trash can to dump floor cleaner every night.
Sometimes I use a five gallon bucket instead and act like a slosher. I'm 24yo and this is normal, fuck you.
I'll be adding more to this comment as I watch the video but anyways;
Kit suggestions!
Kelp Kettler: I think splat bomb would work best as it provides a strong get-off-me tool when rolled and a great backline pressure tool just in general. Paint isn't too shabby either and you might be able to combo off the nonlethal range. Very much agree with wave
Streamer seems like a bamboozler with a charge hold, and I like the kit you already gave it but a second kit I think could be torpedo and booyah bomb. Torpedo does damage combos (when rolled) and pressures people through distraction, and booyah bomb doesn't have much synergy with the main weapon but could give it a larger presence on the field
Retro-Shot: I like the idea of having it reference an old kit, seems like something Nintendo would actually do with the weapon. The damage it does seems a bit excessive but its hard to tell how fast the weapon shoots just off of the fire rate number so it might actually be fine, a visualization of its speed would help. An alternate kit i could see for it would be burst bomb trizooka, but burst bomb also combos way too well with an 80 damage shot from a shooter. Maybe tone down the max damage a little bit or consider the weapon's accuracy
A funny weapon that could work in my opinion is a Yo-Yo based weaon. Spla'-Yo potentially you can swing it fast and low-med dmg and that will cover some spots ahead of you, then if you hold it down the shoot button, you could Walk the Dog and have an active ranged hitbox (like a charged splatana slash, but longer and lil bit wider). And at the end of the trail there will be an active hitbox whixh will spin constantly, you'd walk slowly with it for a downs side and you'd need to commit to it since it could have some lag frames when trying to recall it. Making it some kind of trapper tool. Could work in zones or rainmaker. As a sub you could give it Splash Wall, as a special it'll have Inkjet since it kinda struggles with range. It be a fun class for sure.
The idea of a heavyweight splatana has always sounded cool to me...something that swings and charges very slow but has huge slash projectiles
I really like the idea of the Kelp Kettler and the boiling hot ink effect! Made me wonder what it would be like if there was a slosher with the opposite temperature.
How about a slosher based on a mini fridge that shot chunks of ice that froze the ground upon landing. It would cause a small area to become icy and the enemy team wouldn’t be able to paint over it for a few seconds (it would thaw afterward, turning back into normal ink). The downside being that you and your teammates would slip on it too, and couldn’t swim through it while it was frozen. The weapon would have good range (a bit less than explosher) and decent damage (60 direct, 40 indirect), but its paint would be mediocre and fire rate would be a bit slow.
I’d give it curling bomb and Tacticooler to match the aesthetic, as well as to help it with movement, since it would struggle with that. Just a silly idea.
Loving your splatoon concepts
My version of Boiling Ink is pretty much an area-denial tool of immense duration and punishing contact damage. And weapons that use that kind of ink are dedicated killing weapons, optimized for range and damage, at cost of turfing ability.
I was thinking the streamer could be the equivalent to the old panic attack from tf2, a midway between the nautilus and the bamboozler. Quick charges that fires 3-4 high damage shots in a burst when maxed (maybe a bit less than squiffer range), but the burst itself has decent end lag and it’s pretty ink hungry. Keep the unlimited charge hold, and you get an ambush sniper that plays more aggressively, but suffers cause it can be easily caught with its pants down. Mitigate those weaknesses with something like point sensor, line marker, or splash wall, and give it something like big bubbler to give it a safe place to duck in and out of, or ink jet to synergize with its “hide behind the door” playstyle
I have a weapon concept called the Splatinata, based on a naginata polearm. It would be very heavy and slow, on the level of a dynamo, and have very high damage. Its standard attack would be as long as a charged Stamper swing, but its charged attack would swing the weapon 360 around the player instead of making a forward swing, encouraging attacks on groups of players. Secondary would be something weak like maybe the point sensor, cause I would give it Booyah Bomb as its special.
I also really like coming up with new weapons, but I can’t draw. Can you maybe do a tutorial on drawing weapon concepts?
*done editing these are all fantastic ngl
gonna edit this as im watching(bottom line love the video, art and concepts! 1 sub idea that you can entirely dismiss if you want to):
i like the steam idea(prolly a bit less then a second id imagine a fizz soundeffect like the explosher shot fizz) and the buff aoe for teammates tho that id say should be more of a sub than main weapon thing.
a burst bomb like sub that paints a bit bigger than burst 35-40 dmg cleanses you and allies hit with it from dmg and being marked and recovers ally ink maybe? about half what the sub costs at base. shape it after a bath bomb, duck shape? burst squeaker(squeaky clean)
love the kelp kettler id give it suction bomb , mine or the thing i just described and yeah honestly i could see wave breaker but also rain maker.
id say give the streamer shot burst suction or torpedo.
i imgane this to be kinda a snipe writer charge storage but you can swim?
id give it ink strike so it gets a burst painting tool.
i wish inkjet perpetually generated hp while not being shot (just enough to not get one shot by anything) otherwise idve given it that
the saber is pretty much perfect tho im biased against booyah, so wail for me.
for the retro hear me out:
its large so why not let it shoot large projectiles or rather blobs.
i love the blob lobber and i kinda want a 1or 2 bounce shooter that uses blobs for a more junkrat feel of a weapon. instrike n trizooka are good options.
I really hope they add more Splatanas with unique attributes. One with an explosion at the of it's vertical slash sounds super cool! I wouldnt mind for something simpler like a spin attack instead of a vertical slash would also work.
I want the saber so much man. It goes canon bro IT GOES CABOOM. I also wish the kettle existed
All of these weapons are great, you deserve more recognition, really.
The Steamer is a good idea, I feel like the steam effect on the ground sounds like something very annoying to play against, so this could be an effect that happens directly to the player if he's directly touched by the projectile. To compensate, it could have a much higher range than a sloshing machine with the same projectile speed, making it a support slosher that deals low damage but with high range to slow down oppenents from far away.
Oh my gosh. You make better weapons that Sheldon. I want to use these weapons. They look awesome
All these concepts are amazing but the stream shot is the best idea (imo) and I WANT IT IN THE GAME
I feel splatana saber can keep the fizzy bomb, but I can Say the special should probably ether trizooka or (unlikely) reef slider since ether one can work with the saber as well but I feel trizooka can work more for the splatsaber
You! You are someone who I want to talk to! I had an idea to turn an entire stone fountain into an umbrella but no shield. But wow I love all of these too! Thanks youtube for recommending this!
I legit did actually land a position with Nintendo but I don't have any connection to the devs so these ideas get stuck with me. Hopefully one day.
When I saw the glow sticks it just clicked me...
Glowsitck nunchucks !!!!!!
I think that there is not a revolver like weapon in splatoon 3 the way i think it would work is like a weaker charger and there is a six shot limit but if you hold the charge you can fan the revolver and it will shoot all six of the shots but it will be less acurate. The weapon would be called the splatvolver and it would look like a nerf revolver.
I watched earlier but lost my account to a littoral toilet (rip phone) so I'm borrowing a cousins account to say I like the retro and kettle ideas but they could be better like the retro instead of a shooter how about a splattling basicly has a mid to sluggish charge and fires sluggishly as well but fires mini sloshing machine projectiles they are weaker of course but the volume makes up for it I say this cause the tank was huge too big to be a shooter and would basically be like wielding a anti Air gun as for the kettle I saw a reply about the toxic mist idea and that is also good but Remer how Sheldon describes the explosser your lobbing super heated ink so why not make it a side grade of the explosher basicly smaller and weaker boom but a faster fling speed it would be nice for salmon run as well cause 2 words: bomb properties
thanks for letting me rant
I feel like a cool gimmick for the streamer would be if it consumed less in if you are standing in in, and it makes sense because for what it’s based on, you submerge it in water to refil, but that’s just an idea.
2:04 mother 3 music :0
9:58 EVEN MORE MOTHER 3 MUSIC :000
A set of dualies that trades its dodge roll for an evasive leap.
An Inkbrush that is a large fountain pen. it uses thrusting attacks like a spear which squirt ink from the tip. It has a higher dps than the inkbrush, and a slightly longer range, but it barely inks and it requires you to be very accurate. It inks even less when rolling than the inkbrush, just a thin line, but it is even faster.
Yo, I think a cool idea for the Splatana Saber would be to include a glowing effect that can communicate something to the player. While the Splatana Saber is glowing, it would let you know you can shoot out the explosive shot you mentioned before, but then it would lose its glow, returning to regular Splatana ranged attacks. After a while it could charge up again, (it would charge up faster if not swinging) I think after every respawn, the Splatana Saber will be in its glowing state again, but super jumping resets the timer avoiding the fact that you “aren’t swinging the weapon” and getting the glow effect while jumping.
I think the streamer should work as a mini lightning gun with low damage but a very large range with little spread. It’d focus on chip damage and weeding out any near death players with its main weakness being close range combat. I also see there being a variant with a low range one but with a super high movement speed to make it mid range
What I love about the Splatana Stamper is that it looks like a Bionicle Sword
Bionicle and splatoon are more similar than you think
With bionicle you get masks that give you different abilities, and in splatoon you get gear that gives you different abilities
And instead of elemental powers you get ink powers and different tools to channel that power
Splatana Stamper is Onua Nuva’s Quake Breakers
Hear me out, the splatana Saber glows brighter during splatfest
I feel like the retro shooter should be a very fast but low damage shooter because I imagine it kind of like just unloading an airsoft mag
i hope you get more subscribers cuz ily and you make fantastic videos
The splatana saber could be different by having stages to the charge slash like a splatling based on how many times it cracks
I think the retro shot's gimmick could be that it's full auto when you hold the trigger with a bit of a sluggish fire rate, but if you tap the trigger, it fires as fast as you can pull the trigger (and also the damage goes down a little when fired this way to compensate for the insane speed it could potentially fire at)
Interesting. I see where your going with that 😲 for sure could work!
@@GardenAsada thanks! I don't exactly know how balanced the idea would be, but I like it a lot
I may be misinterpreting, but it feels similar to the squeezer (except damage goes down instead of up)
@@itstictac2825 squeezer has a capped fire rate when you use the tap shot, and the tap fire is slower than the full auto fire, so if anything it would be like a reverse squeezer if you wanted to compare the two
@@itstictac2825 but I'd imagine the retro shot would have much higher object damage than squeezer, so rapid mashing against a crab tank for example, would completely shred it
I think the kettle slosher should, instead of having toxic mist affects, have a sort of poison damaging system. Normal damage would be 30, but it would deal more damage as the ink is left on the enemy. One slosh results in 2 damage per second, two sloshes would result in 5 damage per second.
why is no one talking about that part at 9:39, move around with > to move frame per frame, what's with the head twitch and this face ?
The kettle could be a bit more balanced if you had to change up the mist part. Hold down zr> heats up the kettle>dings when steaming hot> shot creates toxic mist effect
For the Kelp Kettle I would go with burst bomb to an easy one two combo at close range and big bubbler since it seems like it would need the protection
Can you design specials and subs? Maybe a remix of Kraken?
Splat bomb inkstrike Is the most used kit in splatoon history please no
11:30 audio cuts out lol
So it wasn’t just me
I think the Retro-shot could make for a blaster that paints well for less damage
Honestly, I love the look of your little character/OC, they look so cute! Are they a sea cucumber or a sea bunny?
I had a blaster idea called the "Jazz Blaster" which looks like a trumpet and shoots in a wiggly line rather than a straight one to cover a wider area than other blasters. And also makes appropriate trumpet noises when you shoot, of course.
How the fuck do you not have like 10x more subscribers your vids are super high quality. Can't wait to see more!!
Thanks so much! 😋
I always liked the Splatoon 1 and 2 ink tanks better than 3's so seeing them "reincarnated," so to speak, would be amazing!
Also, if I didn't know better I'd just say your character was directly from Splatoon, its so cute and it'd fit perfectly among the other scrunklies!
Oh for sure, I do not care for the hydration pack or whatever 3's design is based off of. Also thanks so much! Means a lot😋
@@GardenAsada Also, as an arthritis enjoyer, we need more brushes! I don't know how they haven't done a marker or something yet. Maybe a stick of chalk? haha.
Kelp Kettler giving toxic mist effects for a second?
*Bro that’s a disruptor 2.0 that’s gonna be top tier as fuck, especially with that kit*
Which is to say I love the idea
1:18 don't forget the snipewriter which it literally a pencil
i love all the art you made of your ideas!! very cool :]
I have a fun idea for retro shot:
The weapon itself is extremely ink hungry and has 28 damage with splattershot range and fire rate.
However, it is capable of shooting after your ink tank is depleted for 24 damage.
Kit is Fizzy/Suction with Wail/Booyah.
Your videos are so underrated Omg! I loved it :DDD
Yoooooo rad stuff! Glad you’re feeling good about the last video, and looking forward to your awesome ideas in the future!
The saber speaks to me, and it exactly what I’ve been wanting to see in the future.
Please do another one of these I love seeing new splatoon weapon designs!
New name ideas:
Kettle slosher: Steamer
Splatana Saber: Splatana Saber (too good of a name)
Retro shot: Retro blaster(if you go with the blaster idea from all the other comments) OR Splattershot Retro
Oh some pretty nice ones. Honestly wish I made it a blaster, thought on it originally but changed my mind at at last moment😢
Thank god you manually wrote subtitles.
For a minute during the retro-shot, the audio had completely cut out.
I only did manual there because that part got claimed😞 sad TH-cam moment
For the streamer you could have burst bomb and booyah bomb
As a splatana main I approve. Also lightsaber go brrrrr
I genuinely don't know what happened in regards to Failboat and Fyrus, can anyone fill me in?
Nothing between them, I just mentioned Skul in the last video and was told he's done some sketchy stuff😅
These ideas are all very youtube. Great job!
Aah so the streamer is like those plastic tube things
Good video but why are you doing the examples in the splatoon 2 practice range instead of the splatoon 3 one
I'm bot lol, there's no splatanas in Splatoon 2 😅
I love all of these
I love the idea of more splatanas and personally I’d love one that’s just a big popsicle stick
That'd be actually priceless😆
Love the glow stick/saber idea! Maybe if that was in the game, I'd actually play Splatoon heh heh heh..........
Lol fair enough
Could the ink tank not also make a decent slosher? if you just take the lid off and strap a handle to it, its basically a long, thin slosher.
thought that, but the designed the kettler first and didn't want two sloshers in one vid. Could probably make a new slosher with the splat 2 tank :O
I hate to make a comment about this but I didn't see the other comments on this or the last video, what is wrong with failboat and Fyrus?
Nothing! I was talking about skulltcg. Other's did comment that, and I said the same lol. I love failboat and fyrus, I just didn't realize that skull was no good as I hadn't been following them for years.
So I wanted to clarify that I knew now that they were no-good, and just didn't want to call them by name in the video.
@@GardenAsada oh ok thanks I was confused about that for a second, I'm surprised you responded so fast on a months old video, thanks!
Lol, I respond to a lot of comments, even on old vids😅
The saber should have no projectile, but in return, its vertical slash reflects enemy shots. With good timing, a charger can shoot at you, you can answer with "who asked?" And like an absolute giga chad, proceed to send that s--t back to them.
Be hard to balance but I do quite like that as it feels more Star Wars-esc. Great idea!
@@GardenAsada
In the unlikely case this gets into the actual game, I can only imagine all the "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it" memes with the Sheldon dialogue for it.
I want them in splatpoon 4 😂
Brella and Inkbrush mains still waiting for a new weapon.
I was gonna do an inkbrush and brella. Oh poor brellas. They need all the help they can get. I'll have to give them a bone next time😥
Wait what happened with skul??
11:31 - 12:18 why does it cut off?
Gotta check out the modes Video!
*Is that a f_ lightsaber*
2-3 kits for each
Kettler
Kettler: Suction/Splat bomb and Wave like you mentioned.
Chai Kettler: Squid Beakons and Big Bubbler: A more support oriented setup that struggles more to fight on its own, but can help protect and move its allies without basically giving the steam trails a built-in tacticooler
Espresso Kettler: Torpedo and Killer Wail 5.1: Uses its abilities as a movement reduction tool more offensively, having a lot of ways to poke and chip and force enemies into bad situations.
Streamshot
Vanilla Kit: Burst and Zooka
Soda-Streamshot: Torpedo and Tacticooler (Or Fizzy and Tacticooler): Mixing aggression and support.
Honestly not sure of a third kit for this one.
Splatana Saber
Vanilla: Fizzy and Wail like you said.
Bright Saber: Point Sensor and either Bubbler or Wavebreaker
Darth Saber: Burst bomb and Booyah Bomb
Retro-Shot
Vanilla: Burst Bomb and Triple Ink Strike
Tentatek: Suction Bomb and Trizooka
Wasabi: Splat Bomb and... Ink Strike? (kinda messed up this bit by using strike as a bomb rush equivalent)
Retro shot name idea: splatershot retro
