So most people just skip Sheldon's dialogue, including me. But what if you actually read them? I went through all of it, here's the interesting highlights and if you should actually skip them or not.

A comment on my twitter from twitter.com/JoeCool_WiiU/status/1497614492473122826 has a cool perspective I didn't consider saying...
"As someone who didn't skip any of Sheldon's dialogue, good job. I think all of Sheldon's dialogue is helpful to an extent gameplay wise. But it's much better when you consider he's obsessed with weapons and he's a business man. He's saying good things to get you to buy them."
Edit: I get the nzap one I just zoned out, my b
it’s ok lol
"It doesn't really fit with what splashdown is used for at all."
Well Sheldon isn't gonna say that it's best use is for dying mid-special, is he?
yeah, he's trying to get you to buy shit, not get scared off by the fact that your weapon has a built in suicide button xD.
Sheldon: “Ah yes please buy my undercover umbrella, the main weapon is complete garbage, the special will get you killed mid use, and it has ink mine 😁”
I think the 83 “down memory lane” was a reference to the actual N-Zap’s back in the day
And the "limited time" from the same description is a reference to that specific weapon being the 1983 version of the N-zap that had to be discontinued for looking too much like a real gun.
I think at 3:36, the “trip down memory lane” is meant to be about how it’s based on the oldest NES Zapper model? instead of being about the kit from 1
Yup.
Similarly, the whole "stick it to them" with the Suction Bombs is just a pun on how they stick to surfaces, rather than talking about gameplay.
It's funny seeing Chara take everything so literally that he misses some of the jokes and references.
I was ab to comment this
@@half-qilin Same lol
NES Zapper? N-Zap?
I hope Sheldon in splatoon 3 is “sheldon’s cousin” that’s just him with a taped on mustache
His cousin, Shmeldon
Mostly unrelated, but on the topic of Sheldon's family, his grandfather, who worked with the original Squidbeak Splatoon, is called Ammoses Shellendorf. So like... is Sheldon's full name Sheldon Shellendorf?
@@legoworld246 The grandfather could always have been on his mother's side, but it's still a safe bet.
@@legoworld246 lmfao ig
@@legoworld246 curse his grandpa for giving us THE worst clams map in Splatoon!
I wonder if the Japanese versions would have better descriptions. The Splatoon localization team has been known to uh, _make some interesting creative liberties._
yea same
I think the most annoying localization thing to me is when Marie says Agent 4 is "two years older" than Agent 3 when it... should be the other way around.
@@MoonyTheBat
As far as I know, it’s meant to be a sort of meta, 4th wall breaking joke. Marie isn’t talking about agent 4, but the player, as they were two years older during splatoon 2’s release than their age during splatoon 1.
Yuppp
@@MoonyTheBat I hated when they said that Marina’s landlord is a narwhal.. a mammel
8:52 Washing machines in Inkopolis most likely use regular ink! According to Sunken Scroll 7 of Splatoon 1, ink vanishes after every match. This property to disperse when exposed to oxygen after awhile, would make it extremely useful for getting unwanted gunk off pretty much anything!
That would explain why so many companies are happy for matches to be held on their property, and why you get paid for each match. You and the 7 other players are the cleaning crew!
Though Marina says in Splatoon 2 that the jellyfish are the ones who clean after each match
so basically if you play turf war youre just going to be extremely clean? 😂
@@scribblecloud not like they can take a shower seeing as water dissolves them
@@scribblecloud not like they can take a shower seeing as water dissolves them
It gives a pretty good insight on the dev's intention behind everything.
As an example, they clearly had no clue about the stingray from before day 1
To "stick it to someone" is just an old saying.
And a pun because SUCTION bombs
@@JakoBpyroTech Nendoto has no
Splash down being "an aid to a cornered ally" just means you can super jump to them to aid them, which is technically true.
12:15 Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Kensa collection weapons don't return. Some of them look cool, but having so many Kensa weapons gets really old since it makes everything look the same. Sheldon's picks are better since even among themselves they all look cool and distinct. Maybe in Splat3 instead of Sheldon's more vibrant weapons and Kensa's pure black and white look we'll get weapons that have more subdued looks, kind of like the Enperry Dualies.
yea I agree I like the look but its on too many weapons
i dont think all of them would return, just like some of the sheldon picks were substituted by kensa collection weapons
Ngl I wish every brand got a weapon in splat 3. It kinda bugs me how certain brands get recogniztion but others don’t
I feel like there should be a "black market" maybe ran by spike, who sells all the old exclusive weapons like the kensas but only has a limited stock each day. Meanwhile Sheldon sells the staples and some alternates along with Sheldon picks
@@cowchHC That’s a cool idea!
12:00 I think what they meant was splashdowning while super jumping to a corned team mate.
Actually I think that is quite true, it says come to the aid of allies, that does sound like a splashdown jump in
Corned?
Chara I applaud you for doing this because I know this would’ve taken a lot of time and willpower not to speed Sheldon up
I mean you never know. Chara might be a good speed reader.
He looked at the wiki lmao
When sheldon said something about splashdown being helpful for cornered teammates, he was likely talking about the super jump splashdown
Its a shame that some these tips are actually kind of cool and bassically nobody reads them. If they can't give us the minigames from S1 while we wait for lobbies then maybe a tip for the weapon you're playing or maybe just a random one would be way better than just waiting.
I’m just realizing this video is mostly us just listening to Sheldon’s tips
The Bloblobber description is an Arrested Development reference, in which Bob Loblaw is an attorney who has a blog (the Bob Loblaw law blog) and appeared in a newspaper under the headline "Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb".
I certainly wasn't expecting a reference like that when I went to buy it but it made me smile considering it was one of my favorite shows at the time.
The Sheldon Picks N-Zap being a “trip down memory lane” is a reference to it being modelled after the NES Zapper, particularly the oldest model IIRC
most clothing lines IRL have collaborations that are preorder only, and are limited time. Good example is RIGF X Scarlxrd where they collabed for a short time and I was able to get 1 jacket from them, u cant get it anymore and thats probably whats gonna happen for S3 and kensa
I think the "Come to the aid of cornered allies with the splashdown special" implies that you are expected to super-splashdown with a super jump and punish jump campers, which is usually what I use splashdown for anyway.
"limited edition" kensa weapons could just be an easy way to excuse them being updated kits that get added in an update instead of being available at launch
I have a feeling certain things that don't make too much sense are just there as jokes like at 3:38 I think the memory lane part is ment to just be a joke because of the n zap being based on the nes zapper
Also thanks for picking out any useful information from this so that people don't have to sit and read though it
The "memory lane" comment for the '83 is just due to the coloration being based on the original Famicom (Japanese name for the original NES, which was colored differently from international releases of the NES).
I think the nonsensical use of the word "power" in these descriptions is simply due to how in a lot of entertainment media aimed at a young demographic usually uses the word in a nebulous way (think of how the Great Deku Tree in Zelda Ocarina of Time talks about his power when he's not portrayed as having any powers, same for Power Rangers in the early years of the TV show transforming not actually showing any powers that they didn't have in their civilian clothes). I have problems with the localization of Splatoon; adding ambiguity like with the D-pad shouts, being inconsistent with the words "Rank" & "Level" and making things more juvenile in tone (the Japanese version lacks furigana, the subscript that teaches pronunciation mostly for kids who don't know how to read Kanji, even though games like Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey have furigana for their Kanji), though one thing they stayed true to was that the original Japanese version is full of slang, as well.
7:47
That's why I love splatoon! They literally have lore about every single detail in the game even the music is connected to the lore
The comment on helping cornered allies with Vunder seems to be a suggestion to use splashdown superjumps with the Vunder ^^;
I found your channel a couple of days ago and I gotta say, I love it! I loved splatoon 1 but didn’t get as much out of splatoon 2, and this channel is giving me the hype to be super excited for splatoon 3 and actually pick up splatoon 2 again. Thank you pro chara
I would honestly prefer the Kensa weapons to stay in Splatoon 2. They don't really fit the whole Chaos theme of Splatsville with their monochrome palette. If we do get branded weapons, I'd love to see Annaki weapons. I think they'd fit the theme well, but maybe I'm a bit biased considering Annaki is my favorite brand.
Been wondering for a long time what weapon they’d give an Annaki variant. Probably makes sense to give it to one of the new weapon classes for splat 3, but I feel like the brand would be a good fit for something up-close and personal. Some kind of roller or brush.
The "power" of the weapon is probably how well it paints
You know, because Turf War is the main mode of the game and how well the weapon paints is kinda the most important thing in that mode
It's also the mode which most of the player-base will play the most, so it's something that probably matters a lot
That's why areospray "offers great power", because it's a good turf weapon
The Bamboozler’s description: the original Bamboozlers were made from bamboo. Sheldon recreated them using bamboo to stay faithful to the original, but because they’re made from bamboo, they can’t store a charge like non-bamboo chargers can.
Probably because bamboo can’t handle the stress of holding a charge, where other chargers are made from stronger plastic or metal.
6:15 I think the devs never intended for the torpedo to be used like that, kind of like Fox's reflector in 64 and Melee
The "trip down memory lane" referenced for the Nzap 83 (@3:45) is likely meant for older players like myself (late 30s - early 40s) who grew up playing with the actual Zapper on our NES
8:44 I feel like they would probably still use water even though it can be dangerous, just as we still use extreme heat in our world for cooking, or for welding metal etc. They'd probably have to thoroughly dry the clothes as well so they don't... die, but I think it'd be possible that they still use water in a lot of daily activities. I wonder what changes they'd have to make to some though to ensure safety?
Also, I could have sworn that one time, I saw a Sheldon tip where he recommended that Splash Wall be used for *painting turf.* I'm going to pray that I read something wrong, and that it's not a genuine tip.
i think he meant its purpose that it can be used as a shield so u can paint from the other side, but that sounds really vague coming from him.
I remember when I first unlocked the Bloblobber. My little brother was watching me play and we ended up taking turns to see who could read its description the fastest! XD
I didn't realize I was in the minority by reading Sheldon's dialogue . . . dang.
Also, I really like the one for the K Octobrush, and I got this idea from the Heavy Remix description: how cool would it be if someone made a song out of the Heavy Splatling Remix's sound effects?
“Stick it to the baddies” basically means you’re showing them who’s boss, teaching them a lesson, etc… and doubles as a reference to the stick/suction feature lol
I think the memory lane part is just a reference to them being the guns you could use in the old dunk hunt game.
The trip down memory lane for the n zap 83 cuz it's the nintendo zapper for the Famicom
You know, this kind of got me thinking about how we could make beginners feel like, well, sticking around. We could always use more fans of the series to watch our tourneys, compete in different levels of play, and also, y’know, sell more games. I think it would be an interesting series to pull off. I can imagine it would be hell to develop and make thing simple enough to pitch to new potential players. But I do also think with things like Chuggaconroy doing their let’s play and Splatoon 3 just on the horizon, now might be a good time to pump out beginner resources for hooking new player into the series, with it’s unique style and unparalelled freshness, cool weapons and fun to use specials, it could strike an audience. Anyway, long winded comment over, thanks Chara!
Thanks for always pumping out enjoyable and interesting Splatoon content
Really good video! I sometimes read the tips out of boredom and like to see how many times Sheldon can talk about the same sub/special in diff ways lol
Sheldon: K52's kit is bad
It's surprising that they don't mention the dual squelcher for the dualie squelcher, since when in turret mode you literally put the two halves of it together and hold it like the dual squelcher. A really cool detail with that is that to make the dualie squelcher's dodge roll have a more distinct sound than the stock dualie's sound pitched up, there's a click at the end, which is the 2 guns being combined together.
Hello again. It is me, the resident brush goblin.
I’ll cut to the chase: My friends and I kinda suck at Splatoon. Mostly when it comes to league. I’d wager that I’m the only competitively competent one (and even then, that doesn’t mean that my friends suck at the game.) and I’m probably the most likely to use callouts, I just don’t because they would be confusing to my friends.
So, with these problems, I bring some potential video ideas:
- A list of all weapons and their role (Slayer, Skirmisher, Flex, Anchor, and Support.), their points-per-special, and their respective kill time (in best case scenarios, and also listing with and without MPU.)
- A general guide to callouts and a list of some generally useful callouts.
- A guide on how to build team compositions.
(I have a feeling I forgot a video idea, but I don’t know what and that scares me.)
As usual, don’t feel pressured to make these ASAP, if at all. At the end of the day, it’s you who decides what you make and post here.
And for now, I’m going to finish this comment with some somewhat funny information: The exact same loving cat that is in my arms right now once sneezed into my milk one morning. Naturally I dumped it in the sink and poured more milk lmao.
Take care, Chara.

everything else is at least somewhat planned already for Splatoon 3.

@@ProChara Thanks!
Honestly, I kinda forget that the third game is coming out this summer.
Might ask if I can pre-order it once it’s available so I can play it as soon as it’s out (seeing as I’m still technically a minor, i can’t really order it myself lmao.)
Looking forward to what videos you make once the game is out. Hopefully I can end up getting into competitive with my friends in the 3rd game.
3:24 For N-Zap 83 it could also be saying that Sheldon decided to bring back the idea of this legendary famicom-style zapper
3:45 he’s saying a trip down memory lane as in the Nintendo entertainment system’s zapper, would be nostalgic to people growing up in the 80’s
9:19 I think this is a reference to arrested development! There is a lawyer in it named bob loblaw. He has “bob loblaw’s law blog” and an article about him is titled “bob loblaw lobs law bomb”
6:23 to this day, many people still claim rollers are good at inking, and as a splat roller main, that hurts so much. Now I know I can kind of blame Shelldon for the misconception
But rollers can be good at painting, if one knows what they are doing . . . (yes, I speak from Experience)
@@JakoBpyroTech flingza can, dynamo in theory but it's inconsistent. Splat and carbon are a very different case. Their paint us not great, and if they do want to paint, they'd be exposing themselves a lot, as they need to take advantage of being sneaky to be as effective as possible
@@karlapinkie7697 Fair for the most part, especially if one uses rolling to paint, as that does leave you vulnerable, but I would still argue that the Splat roller, the one the Dialogue was about, is good at painting. (To be clear, I have used all the rollers)
when I started out playing, I actually based off which weapons I played by looking at their WEAPON STATS and sheldon's tips. I was kinda dumb. The results got me playing inkbrush and kensa jr. a lot 😄
I know this video isn't really about the hero weapons, but seeing them reminded me that I really hope they make hero weapons have their own kits in Splatoon 3 to actually give some incentive to get them (I spent way too much time to 100% Splatoon 2 hero mode and got nothing for it).
"Stick it to your enemies!" has got to be a play on the phrase "Stick it to them"
"stick it to the baddies" is not meant literally. Its a play on the saying and the fact that suction bombs stick to surfaces. Great video and fun to think about but that was pretty funny.
A small idea I had for Splatoon 3 is that, since Sheldon was looking to hire 8 for Ammo Knights, the arms-dealer in S3 could be 8 herself, and instead of these long dialogues we could get a small poem (like the ones from the Octo Expansion mem cakes but a bit longer of course) that describes the weapon kit in a more brief, beautified fashion.
Canonically I'm pretty sure 8 is a guy, but I like the idea.
I'm pretty sure that in canon, the women are sought more for combat prowess, therefore why enemy Octolings in Hero Mode are only female.
I just realized that Splatoon and Vtubing have something similar: both have canonically have females more powerful.
3:34 chara forgets that the nzap is based off of a real life nintendo peripheral
sheldon referencing a dif species and 12,000 years ago would still be odd to be fair.
The N-ZAP '83 says a trip down memory land because it was an accessory for the NES
3:36 The memory lane is to do with the NES Zapper in Duck Hunt which the N Zap is named after. Pretty neat.
11:56 this is probably about the fact that you can splashdown on superjump if you notice someone on the map is struggling
I think “a trip down memory lane” is a fourth wall joke about it having famicom colors
If we get Kensa Weapon in Splatoon 3, i bet it's gonna be 'This set of limited edition weapons finally makes it's great debut in Splatsville'
I sat here for a second listening to the music until I thought
"...hang on, is that A CYBER'S WORLD? ?"
I guess you could say the "inking turf" in the roller description is kinda true, lower level players love the rolling mode in turf war.
"There might be no Kensa Collection in Splatoon 3"
I'm definitely gonna miss my babies 😭 I love the Kensa roller and Octobrush too much
Honestly I like Sheldon's descriptions like "triple burst" it makes him seem like an out of date guy who just wants to support the industry
i love ur vids! im currebtly binge watching to get my mind off of thr chancd of body and facial dismorphia and an ED
He did it... he actually did it...
This is why you read every single one.
The trip down memory lane on the N-ZAP is a reference to the nes gun it’s based on
Sheldon did kinda help me explain what the slinger/archer weapons are about because I went in Splatoon 3 completely blind without watching any of the directs lol
N-zap being a trip down memory lane and only produced for a limited time but brought back are both obviously talking about it being the NES Nintendo zapper controller which I guess also exists in the Splatoon cannon and is similarly retro. Not about it having a nostalgic... weapons kit. Splatoon 2 only came out 2 years after splat 1.
3:12 I think that’s just an expression, “stick it to ‘em!”
I love how Splatoon constantly reminds people to take a bath
Well, a dynamo is a generator, so props for them including that little bit of info
N-Zap 83's comments on being produced for a short period reflect the ACTUAL production of NES Zappers. In '83, they were made gray, like in Splatoon. In '85 Nintendo started making them orange to better differentiate them from actual firearms, as was a concern in the US. Hence the comment, and the numbering. That's also why he says "trip down memory lane," as he's again referring to the actual peripheral.
See when I played splatoon 1 back when I was legit a baby (6-7 years old) Sheldon was how I got good at the game and Made it to A rank for every rank except Rainmaker (B+)
That said- I was still ass
at 3:14 I think "stick it to the baddies" was just a play on the saying "stick it to the man", emphasis on the "stick" part because suction bomb
3:43 it talks about the NES zapper you use for duck hunt.
I don't play enough -
I can't visualize all this with just random footage accompanying it
3:24 That's supposed to be a reference to the original NES Zapper, which was 'restored' by Sheldon.
the Nzap 85' when he says "stick it to the baddies" its a play on words. when people say "stick it to the man" they mean give whats coming to them. it's an expression.
Dude, so many things flew over your head... it's actually quite funny how oblivious people can be
7:35 agreed
3:43 “Trip down memory lane”
It’s means the original Nintendo Zapper
For a trip down memory lane with the 83 he’s talking about the snes
In splatoon 1 I used to never skip Sheldon's dialog. I reset my progress 3 or 4 times for splatoon 1.
I actually feel bad for the people who kept mashing 'A' whenever Sheldon talked and they didn't see the 'Hurry it up!' button 🤣
It took this long to get a single human interested in his advice.
I think "trip down memory lane" refers to the 1983 japanese famicom colour scheme that the weapon is based on 3:37
Let's go!! I've been waiting for this
I will defend the v52 description because it is indeed the first shooter you unlock that is actually not good at pre-firing because its fire rate leaves gaps, and leans more into precision weapon territory as a result. It's a really good training weapon because with no need to locate your opponent and no need to track for long you're left with focus on going for quick precise splats rather than hosing someone down like you can with Splattershot and Zap.
52 Deco assumes that you will use Stingray aggressively- not stay back and do it from a safe distance, but find the first cover you see when it charges and quickly ray that charger out of existence. It is stupid, but also thrilling, fun and satisfying when you pull it off.
Chargers do envy the difference between what splatlings can achieve on a single charge vs what chargers can achieve on the same charge. That's why they hit them so hard.
Remix doesn't say why it uses the old model, but pre-release materials say that both modern Heavy and Slosher are simplified compared to the old ones, so neither Sheldon's prototype model nor the limited edition Remix have to adhere to it.
Fun part about Naut is that it actually did its jump RNG nerfed so that line is no longer relevant.
vUndercover's special description references superjump Splashdowns, and I've seen some people who build Splashdown with lots of QSJ and learn to jump to the right teammates almost instantly with the D-pad. It is a meme but it is a thing.
3:37 trip down memmory lane becaus the weapon was based of the game "duck hunt" a late 80s early 90 game.
Fun fact: The hero slosher replica actually had a unique line, basically saying "Hey that blue suspension is pretty cool right"
3:14 "stick it to em" is an idiom for besting someone so i dont think "stick it to the baddies" was supposed to be literal
“Stick it to the baddies” is crazy
5:45 isn't this referencing the tactic of using curling bombs long lines of ink to cut off an opponents escape route?
3:35 I think it’s referring to the fact the N-ZAP is a reference to the old actual N-ZAP product!
You know we need more splatoon 3 trailers when we're making videos about Sheldon
when it said n-zap was nostalgic it meant that it was nostalgic for those who owned a nes zapper for the nes
They could probably get around the whole limited kensa Collab thing by saying they got them second hand in splat3, and for new kensa kits they could just say it's an "unreleased prototype"
I main the Aerospray MG it's "great power" in my opinion is it's ink coverage and the fact it can output specials like it's no tomorrow
I literally mained the Naut in TC and never realized it didn't have air spread because I so rarely shot in the air.
Chara listening to Sheldon talk about every weapon
why would you do this to yourself?
3:37 Its because the N-Zap is the original NES Duck Hunt gun
4:40
I mean, I guess you could argue that Ballpoint has multiple firing modes?
Regardless of whether the Kensa collections return or not, I feel it would be extremely fitting of Splatoon "3" to give every main weapon that many kits (or even better at least that many). They did say that the weapons were limited edition, but maybe that only counts for the specific weapons they used and they'll make a new Kensa line exclusively with weapons that weren't used in 2.
