The reason that brella seemed to have gotten worse from 2 to 3 is the netcode because the delay differences between people are so polarizing
which was caused by 2 big factors:
1.) nintendo using a new online system, and
2.) changing the physics engine between s1/s2 to s3
Yeah and also even with all of the fixes, they still feel like they did nothing
Even without the messed up shield the ink consumption of the shots is just way to high
@@abraham3673 slight correction, the new server system only affects matchmaking and lobbies. matches still use the same system as 1 and 2
@@latenitewaffles7926 precisely what I felt playing Splat Brella after the mid-Chill season patch (for the Sheldon License) thankfully that was mostly it, and I didn't feel held back by the fixed bugginess.
Fully functioning brella should be in every game
I agree
Fully functioning netcode should be in every game
brella for tetris 2023
No a fully functional servers should be in every game not some 1980 computer server
I may on copium but now that Nintendo fixed most of Brella's bugs in Splatoon 3, now they can focus on buffing them next patch. If that doesn't end up happening then I'll forever curse the devs for making the weapon class terrible.
I choose to believe that was their plan all along (copium 🥲)
Hopefully they see that despite the bug fixes, people still aren't playing them, and realize they need to do something (like revert the damage nerfs). I miss playing Tent.
@@JakoBpyroTech Tent is such a cool weapon too, the concept of a tank/juggernaut translated perfectly to splatoon with how slow and powerful it is, and I love the mindgames you can play when you launch it whether you decide to swim behind it or not
Yes, I think until now they've been wary of buffing the Brella class until they fixed certain bugs that were preventing them from playing as intended. Now that most of those bugs (though not all) have been fixed I think they'll be more confident about altering the stats of the weapons themselves.
We need an aggressive Tenta Brella kit. Vacuum seems good on paper but it’s really bad for the weapon especially paired with beakons. Like Chara said, the weapon needs to fight and removing damage options is terrible for it. Bring back the camo brella Nintendo
This 8 minute video has given more attention to brella than the dev team has in the past 6 months
Edit: …AND COUNTING!! (Please give these things kits)
I hate how true this is
As much as I want to disagree with this, I can't. This is painfully true.
No, don't say that! They'll give tenta brella splash wall again.
@@bukenator0788 It’d be a more effective shield than the one it has right now LMAO
We're approaching 9 months and I'm coming back here before Sizzle Season. Will the Brellas get justice? Only time will tell…
The best part about Brella when it could function properly was that it encouraged supportive gameplay which is something a lot of players in Splatoon Stuggle with at lower levels. As an Ex-Brella main it’s quite sad to see it’s decline in the meta.
I am also an ex-brella main and I completely agree
Fellow former brella main. One thing I LOVED to do in low level splat 2 ranked was guide the rainmaker and shield them as the went forward. That with MPU and RSU made it easy to protect the rainmaker by shielding them and also being ahead of them just in case bombs were thrown. I LOVED this support style, and now the weapon is so bad I don’t even wanna play it casually. I wish they would rework it but that’s not gonna happen.
I honestly wish there was more ways to play supportive, because being stuck in low levels means you get players who only know to "fight and then fight more and then fight more"
Seriously, i've had my last alive teammates just run into the entire enemy team by themselves.
I think Nintendo is running with the idea that “Bella is bad cause it’s buggy, so if we fix bugs, it’s like if Brielle got a buff”
Ironic since some of the bugs were actually in the brella's favor...
@@sherbertshortkake6649 such as?
@@Whodjathink take this with a grain of salt but I think that there used to be a bug that canceled damage to the shield if you closed it on the same frame it took damage.
@@Whodjathink I don't remember exactly but in the most recent patch there was a bug that allowed the brella to shield against bombs for a few frames more than it should be allowed to after putting away the shield iirc.
Sounds like the buff it needs lol
I think what would make brella really useful is to increase its damage, obviously, but also to increase its object damage. With so many hp specials in the meta, brella would do really well as an object shredder similar to the splatanas and might bring it back into play.
Not sure how I feel about buffing the class just to counter the current meta. Brellas counter shooters, being good against objects doesn't feel fitting for a weapon that comes with an object stapled to it
I think brellas could help with the crab meta if the devs just made shooters deal less damage to the shields and also bettered the paint output on brellas, because if nintendo wants Tristrike as the crab counter then brellas should have better paint output but also slightly nerf Tristrike as to not make it too strong
I mean there's no "one big problem" with splatoon 3, it's more so smaller problems that add up overtime
Splash-o-matic having a very versatile kit
Splatanas, Tri stringers, and Brellas basically have been getting no kits/new weapons or VERY minor balance changes
Maps not being very open, which lets specials like crab tank dominate
Nintendo online being *questionable*
etc
@@Fenyx_Birb Well we know at least 3.0 is giving us some map changes
brellas are like riot shield shotguns, so make them hit like a shotgun, with one tap potential at point blank
I believe brellas have the ability to be fixable with proper buffs without ruining the game if done right. Nintendo I believe in you. (Please don’t give it over watch tank power pls)
There's no way they'll be able to give a weapon class the equivalent of a single role responsibility like in Overwatch.
the ttk in this game so too low for any form of tank to exist
任天堂が馬鹿でごめんね
I really hate that the brellas aren't good anymore. I hope that Nintendo give it what it needs to be good (especially undercover)
I use to be a drills main in splatoon 2
And when I saw it’s prformence in splatoon 3
I cried sooo
Facts smallfry
I never thought about how bad Brella was in 3, but after seeing this video, I might completely lost faith in Nintendo’s ability to balance properly if they don’t buff it soon. Hopefully the lack of players leads to some improvements on the 3.0 patch.
They don't care, splat 3 continues to do gangbusters in terms of sales, I wouldn't be surprised if they favor shooters so much because that's what most new people are drawn towards, so they make them extra good to get people hooked early
man nintendo is sucking off shooters like never before, someone needs to knock some sense into them before it's too late
I was once describing the splatoon classes to my older brother and when I told him about Brellas he thought they sounded overpowered. The truth is sad. Such an amazing design made into a terrible weapon😢
As someone who used to mess around with brella back in S2, and has been trying to make it usable in S3, I really felt this. my biggest gripe is how much Nintendo (at the moment) has ignored brella. Sure, they fixed some bugs, but in needs a few buffs! Undercover could definitely use a good kit (burst+rain maybe) and buffs
They have been ignoring brella, over-nerfed machine, while *just barely* toning back splash by making more crab counters. Then *buffed* 52!?
As you have said in the past, the shooter privilege at the moment is definitely worrying for the future of the game
With the 52's buff we might just get another 4 shooter meta again with teams consisting of:
Ttek
52 or Nova
Aerospray RG
Splash
this is a fantastic video. not only is it well edited and beautifully paced, its also super engaging. it makes me want that rock paper scissors meta in 3. but only time will tell if the devs will listen, which based on last patch… yikes
We'll get rock paper scissors meta, but it'll be three different shooters that counter each other with people desperately using a splatana stamper as the 4th weapon to keep it interesting. Then they'll nerf stamper.
hey cool zorconic is here
1:40 the recoloring of those lil icons is quite nice, love it
It’s also sad because a good brella feels like it would be a good answer to the crab/splash meta we have going on. Brellas obviously theoretically counter splash. And it also has triple inkstrike which is currrently the “screw you hp specials” special. Plus while sprinkler doesnt do much in combat. It does at least allow you to build special faster. Which is helpful when said special is as helpful in the current meta as it is.
Spent 4 years playing tent and the pain of the niche I fill completely being overshadowed in some situations is tragic
And just like where splat brella keeps shooters in check, Tenta Brella is supposed to be the weapon that keeps backlines like chargers in check, with its giant shield protecting an area from them. But the shield is so weak in this game that eliter COUNTERS tent, the damage multiplier is so absurdly high that a single bomb and charger/eliter shot destroys a tent shield, both open and launched, making it ridiculously easy to neutralize the weapon. Brellas are a key part of the game's healthy state and with their negligence of the class, the devs are making the game a lot worse.
Snow day and a ProChara video? Looks like today’s my lucky day
Yeah. Most of these places can’t handle cold weather. They need to get used to it because it’s not like this is the first time there’s been freezing weather in the U.S.
@@13_cmi In the Canadian prairies (where I am) it can get down to -50 Fahrenheit with the wind chill. My driveway has a snowdrift about 5ft tall right now.
…I’m bad at convincing people to travel here haha
As a splat brella main in 2 and someone who has desperately tried to make undercover work in 3 (the bugs w/ splat brella got to me after a while), this is both super validating and saddening to watch. I knew it was bad, but didn't realize just how badly they handled this weapon class. Thanks for putting this together and breaking down how everything went. Your Splatoon videos are some of my favorites and I really appreciate your hard work. Hope you've had a nice week so far 🐙☂❤
I remember wanting to learn how to play brella back near the end of Splatoon 2. When I felt like I was finally getting the hang of it and started to play 3, it was a very rude awakening to learn that almost none of the work I put into figuring out the weapon mattered. Plus buff brella.
Brella is just gonna be the blaster of this game
As someone who really loves the brella class, (besides undercover) it makes me so sad to see it like this. *BRING BACK GOOD BRELLAS.*
It hurts falling in love with Tenta Brella right before the patch that killed it, it's so inconsistent for it's kills, direct shots need to perfectly land to kill, and it sucks, I just want to play my pushing wall.
Frankly I feel if they returned the brellas back to their "overtuned" state in balance for 3, they'd be only good, given that they have far, far more inherent counters in this game, like basically every special being one.
Video 75 of commenting on Chara videos till brella gets fixed
I miss brella so much, it’s really fun to play when it works but that’s very infrequent
They really need to make it so that defending brellas take priority in the netcode over attackers and that alone would probably go a long way to fixing the problem. The shield getting shredded too easily is a problem, sure, but the shield simply WORKING is the biggest factor that needs fixing, and is likely responsible for the bulk of its unreliability. Differences in lag between matches means that some matches it'll work okay and in others you'll be hit by stuff that--from your perspective--you absolutely should have blocked.
i have a feeling that they’re probably not going to buff brellas until we get a new brella (or maybe a new kit if a new weapon for each class isnt confirmed). a brand new brella would most likely come out in summer so we just need to suffer until then
Imagine if we get a Kensa Undercover or something that becomes meta with torpedo + bubbler (since Ink Armor got destroyed, thankfully, big bubbler might be the best option)
@@HHopebringer knowing nintendo they’d probably give it tacticooler, which could be really good after crab is dead & chargers are used more. but there are better tacticooler weapons that would probably get picked over it if it stays inconsistent
summer update be like:... okay we got tent but brella as a whole still hasn't been properly attended for so it counts (༎ຶོ‿༎ຶོ)
honestly ive been maining undercover for a month and i love it. A difficult weapon to use yes, but once you learn the weapon and some tricks it can be pretty handy. Just gotta smile through the pain. (especially for rollers. depending on the type youre dead before you can even think 😭 but thats just me)
Not gonna lie Chara, I think this may be one of your best-written and -edited videos thus far (super well done Logi on the editing!!). I already knew most of the things you covered, but you add so many really relevant details and comparisons (like comparing T-tek to Brella in the latest patch) that the faults with how Brella is being treated become super clear.
The graphics Logi put in were super clean (I loved the use of the little weapon class symbols and how they colour-shifted between 2 and 3) and emphasised what was being pointed out in a scene super well. I think it's easy to slap in a shot of gameplay demonstrating what is being said, but you often put in effort to illustrate exactly what it is that makes what's happening on-screen significant/relevant.
I really hope Brellas get fixed, it's a genuine shame that it feels like there's only ten and a half weapon classes :/
Thanks for the kind words ❤
This feels like such important discourse for the community to be having. The meta feels like it's revolved around shooters in some way or another for so long now...
The most recent patch notes when you just look at what classes got nerds/buffs are honestly unbelievable
6:14 The Dharkon ending of smash ultimate is so perfect lmfao
I really liked this vid, I watch you a lot but this video was really good. It almost has a video essay vibe, which I think added a lot to the point of the vid! Keep it up bro gj
the editing in this video is so entertaining, and so visually appealing and communicative! loved the small details of the weapons changing color according to what game they were from in the earlier part of the video
kudos to editor!
❤
It's really a shame since Brellas are one of the most fun weapon classes to play once you get the hang of their mechanics, but the only one that's even remotely playable right now is Tenta Brella, and it's still buggy as all hell. I eagerly await the day when Splat Brella becomes playable again (a day which will probably never come at this rate)
What is really sad is that Brella is really fun, but now it is unplayable
Had to rewatch that colour change at 1:43. SO clean.
WE NEED LITERALLY ANYTHING FROM THE DEVS AT THIS POINT BRUH
yes, i agree.
my suggestion: 50 points to fill special gauge for 52 gal and Tentatek Splattershot
Yooo you're a Splatoon player, that's cool! But yes Splatoon 3's game balance is really making me sad. Ttek literally is the embodiment of the fact the devs don't seem to know what they're doing when balancing this game
banger edits logi
❤
Theres so many ways to buff and help brellas, lets choose undercover for example.
A bit of dmg up
Shield hp up
If it comes to kits literwlly anything but reefslider
They could also give unsercover a rework, seeing as you can shoot without shield by spam clicking ZR (it shoots slower)
What if they gave undercover something like squeezer? Where spam clicking ZR would be a better kill tool or a better turf tool?
Man I loved using brella for a long time in splat2, but then I started to fall off of it. I didn't pay much attention to the meta back then so I didn't really ever know why, but this explains it so well - both why it was so fun, and why it is so frustrating to use in splat3.
I also love your analysis about why it's such a well-designed shield weapon - great points that I never thought of, but seem exactly correct.
Thanks for this video!
for a shotgun style weapon, it sure just tickles any opponent it goes against
From shotgun to pepper grinder
I like how every time I watch prochara I always get a music flash bang as I hear music from ffxiv which make me double check the video
i swear nintendo leaves balance patches to actual dice rolls. 52 Gal buff in a game that has H3 nozzlenose
Rip, Brellas. For now they may be out of line, buggy, messy, but we can hope they will come back again.
One of my favorite things about the brella is that it's great for tower control, both previously in 2 and especially 3. If you are on the tower you can still do a good amount of damage while protecting your teammates and yourself from things like a suction bomb or specific specials. It's current kit has triple inkstrike which is great for both taking and defending the tower.
The reasons you stated for why brella is such a cool and interesting design for a shield type weapon are the precise reason why Undercover existing is such a baffling design decision to me.
Undercover just takes all the cool and interesting parts of brella and... Removes it in favor of mindlessly spamming the shield while doing very little damage.
i literally do not understand splatoon's statistics at all and yet still enjoy watching
You are the voice of my frustration, Pro Chara. This vid sums up everything. Anyway, brellas united!
I could feel Chara’s anger towards the end of this vidro
Shout out to your editor? The edits for your videos have been really great!
This video just made me sad. I never mained Brellas, but the few times I played them, I had a lot of fun. One of my most fondest clips of splatoon 2 was with the Sorella Brella. It makes me sad that the least we can do is just pray that brellas are buffed, and there’s always a chance that they never will be, especially with shooter privilege.
i want brella to be good because i really really love playing it. it feels so natural to me but even with good positioning and awareness that inconsistent kill time is extremely noticeable and hard to make up for
2 months, yet this video hasn't aged a day
Excellent video. I never enjoyed fighting brellas during that rock paper scissors meta, but it was fun to approach the game differently each time because of the brellas. The game was in such a perfect state and then they decide to introduce MPU (aka damage up 2.0, with no drawbacks on certain weapons) alongside other points mentioned in the video and the whole game got ruined.
Good video!
Right as he starts talking about the net code problems, my video starts buffering
Fix ideas
First undo the nerf. Increase damage, special output, etc
Next for the buff. What if we gave the shield a object damage resistance. Let’s say an object has 500hp and gets 3.25 shot by a charger. What if that same charger takes 4 shots to kill a brella with 500hp? Same damage, but could help with surviving things like crab or splatana.
Or we increase its damage output and don’t add the hp resistance. It would be a killing machine that struggles against object damage heavy weapons
Really good vid.
Damn, that ending was intense. I loved it.
Absolutely love how you presented this, Brellas just get no love in 3.
Also correct me if I'm wrong, but was the BGM you used from FFXIV: Endwalker? It sounds so familiar!
Yup! I love the FFXIV OST (music is always listed in the description btw)
I fell in love with brellas after Chuggas LP, and immediately picked it up when I got splatoon 3. Now I play splatlings for a reason
傘は使うのが難しい分多少1部の武器に強くてもいいのに3の傘どれも弱くて使うりゆうが愛以外ない気がする
ty for the history lesson as a new player to splatoon 3 very cool and helpful
I'm actually so surprised that Splatoon 3 still hasn't fixed the brella shields.
As a Splat Brella main, I only now find myself doing really well or unable to even do anything really. Most of the time I just do okayish. I appreciate you bringing attention to this though(Although I doubt anyone will see this).
Brellas are equivalent to Fortnite pump shotguns from chapter 1 season 4-5
Ngl this is the first ever video I’ve ever seen that actually put brella in a good light
I really wish you got more of a heads up when your ink tank runs out with your brella's shield up. I don't think I can count the amount of times I've been jumpscared by my brella shield just thanos snapping out of existence because I ran out of ink
Honestly showing the little ink tank graphic that shows up when you're swimming in the ink would do wonders
It's really interesting to see how much of a grip the brella had on splat 2's meta.
This video is just making me nostalgic for Splatoon 2 stages (I haven’t played it in a couple of years.
It makes me sad that such a cool concept for a weapon that people looked forward to seeing was just over nerfed. I hope that sometime the devs will at least try to fix it.
I remember the moment I picked up the Brella during the premier and thinkng "I swear this did 90 damage"
I love how every attempt to fix the Brella issues adds more issues. Like now I hear there's a bug that damages the _user_ whenever the edge of the shield is hit. I would genuinely love for someone to get one of Splatoon's head devs in for an interview that goes into their frankly wacky balance philosophy around Brella.
I really loved Brella, the original and Undercover.
I mean, it's a _flippin' shotgun with a shield!!_
But when I try to use it in Splatoon 3... Well, let's just say my survival rate drops significantly.
I'm so bummed about brella, I used to LOVE Kensa Undercover in Splatoon 2. The armor stalling was chaos, and I wasn't bad at combos either. But now it's so hard to play it, and I want to use it more.
I love the Brella, mained it in Splatoon 2, and tried really hard to stick with it in Splatoon 3.
As a more casual player, I thought the issues and problems I was noticing with it were probably something my casual level skill wasn’t working around, and that I had to get better.
I’m glad to see that, no, it wasn’t (entirely) my lack of skill, but I’m also sad to see my favourite weapon being so neglected.
Yeah brella is sad. I had to drop it for 52. I still try to play it but it is so hard to play and I am focused on improvement right now so as cool and fun as it is I don’t have a reason to play other than fun which isn’t good enough.
I really hope it gets buff next patch, the thought of it getting buffed makes me want to play it right now. Great video ProChara!
More like destroyed the best weapon *class*.
I am sad about Tent’s current state as a Tent main.
Knowing the context of that last song really irons in the feeling of "this game is being overrun by shooters" ahaha. Hope they swing away from that soon.
me being a commited brella main this man is 100% accurate
Not a brella player but man I miss seeing this weapon, it was always a fun puzzle trying to play around the shield
yoooo nice ffxiv music at the end I see you. Great video though overall.
beside that in s3 there r a lot of specials or sets made by counter and desroing shields like the bubble or the crab and making that they accidentally neefed even more the brellas
Man, this vid makes me miss my Camo tent back in splat 2
this is kind of what happened to machine, ppl started to complain about it being too "spammy" and stuff like that so Nintendo decided to nerf pretty much every aspect of the weapon besides it's damage and paint. It's still a good weapon and wasn't nerfed to the ground like brella but It's strange how ppl complain about the meta being overly dominated by shooters when Nintendo listened to ppl's complaints about machine and nerfed it a bunch.
Either Nintendo is being picky with who they listen to or shooters aren't getting enough complaints as well as the handicaps that they are long overdue for. Or a combination of both.
Shooters are too "normal" for a lot of people to notice or complain about being OP, I think. It's a normal gun shooting normal bullets in a normal straight line, it can't be OP, it's the basic baseline weapon that makes up a shooter game (it's even right there in the name!). It doesn't stand out, deaths to shooters blend together because there are so many of them. Died to a normal gun, eh, that's just how it be in shooter game.
But getting killed by a sniper rifle or a swirly ink ball or a paint brush, those are distinct and easier to pick out and remember and may require different tactics to deal with. So when those get lots of kills, ah, I remember lots of that, must be broken.
@@VGF80 fr
@@ElecManEXE that's a probable reason I just don't know how ppl don't see it cuz shooters are so popular and have paint, quick kill time and better mobility than other weapons, guess that's how it goes
Its funny this shows up cuz i was just practicing with splat brella last night! I know I'm far from the best splatoon player but i always feel like I'm at such a disadvantage when i play it. Sometimes a trizooka shot just damages/destroys my shield, sometimes it splats me completely. I hope that its buffed in some fair way, I really want it to be one of my mains
i'm an ex-brella main, i currently am working on maining tri-stringer. i just wish that brella would have all the good things it needs - damage buffs, fixing that shield(nintendo already kinda did that, but GOD, i was playing brella last week, and it feels like nothing changed), and lord, 190p for special.
thanks nintendo.
Magic Conch, will Brellas ever get buffed?
"Maybe someday..."
2の傘が環境武器だったときの環境本当につまんなかったので、結局自分がどの武器使うかのポジショントークでしかないかもしれませんね。
The online service is so bad, that an entire weapon class is unplayable. It is emberassing
When is Nintendo gonna hire this man
Chara's sprites are so nice to look at
Didn’t think Splatoon 2 had its own weapon triangle. That a Fire Emblem reference
Brella supremecy, I want Justice for the brella!
I’m still a tenta brella main
No nerfs can stop me
could you do a video on if you were to replace the balancing team what you would do in their wake?
As a valorant and a platoon player I loved the intro and I completely agree that adding a shield character would completely ruin the game
As soon as I heard the ffxiv music, I remembered all the stuff I wanted to do today and Immediately stopped the video and hopped on. Thank you for unintentionally reminding me to do my shit..
Currently I'm playing undercover to get Sheldon licenses for next season and I definitely feel like I've gotten killed in shots that shouldn't have broken my shield. Which is a shame because I actually really like the defending bit, when I jump to a teammate I can usually tank a shot that would have taken them out. Hell I get jump sniped all the time and I actually have a chance to survive with undercover. But it's attacks feel weaker than the Big Swig, which I played before it (maybe because you can attack faster with the Big Swig, even if the attacks are weak )
5-star S-rank Undercover player here! With Undercover you have to hard-commit to landing your direct shots. To reduce your TTK take advantage of your mines--they're an essential part of the kit. Approach from odd angles when possible to get a little more time to land those shots, and try not to tank--the shield is there to soak up a little damage from shots that you failed to dodge outright, not as a damage sponge in the conventional sense.
Depending on the enemy comp you'll likely be switching between offensive and defensive play styles on the flip of a switch. Done right, you'll get a lot of splats, but they're just a happy side effect of your main goal--helping your team reach the tipping point by throwing a monkey wrench in the enemy plans at every opportunity, making things just enough more difficult that they flounder and fail. Any time you trip them up it gives the rest of the team a chance to sweep in and capitalize on it.
Brella doesn't get touched over the entirety of Splat 3's lifetime so far apart from bug fixes, meanwhile shooters, a weapon class that has always been in a good spot and consistent, is given class wide buffs for no reason. I wouldn't be surprised if they just abandoned brella completely because the netcode screws it over and that will never improve.
