Chara is really rolling the dice by putting this up days before a patch - but tbh we may not get stuff to fix it anyway but would be pretty funny if it is immediately fixed in some of the ways he talks about Also giving an extra shot for directs seems a bit extreme considering getting a direct is good already. Maybe a max cap of 1 extra shot because otherwise that could get out of hand?

I don’t think being able to earn multiple extra shots like that would be that big of a deal.

"Playing against it" is looking at the issue wrong. If you generally position yourself safely, and are aware of where enemies are/could be, then you drastically reduce your odds of being hit in the first place. And besides, the fact that it can kill you quickly isn't in and of itself indicative of it being overpowered. Chargers can do that too.

1:41 I like the fnaf jumpscare sound lol

I agree to all of the changes, but I would also reduce it's damage to 180 so it can't kill trough spawn armor anymore because I think nothing should ever be able to do that (we could also make the spawn armor work like ink armor from Splatoon 2 so you can only take 80 damage trough it, that also fixes the problem)

I feel like they really fumbled with the whole "fake super jump" idea. When i first heard of it, i was super excited, because it seemed like such a unique and fun concept, but in practice, it never actually comes into play. Super Chumps are effectively just a minefield that you can launch to a desired location, that just happen to look like super jumps for no real reason. If i had to rework the special, id put way more emphasis on this concept by allowing the player to have the option so super jump alongisde the Chumps, landing in place of one of the chumps. That way, every time you see a set of Super Chumps, youd have to guess if an enemy player will land alongside the chumps or not. This would make the special much more fun to use, more of a threat to enemies, and also make it a really interesting mind game for the enemies, having to guess if a player is jumping in with the Chumps or not.

I really like the idea of tightening the bullets' total hitbox, and in general I think focusing the changes on making the special less spammy is a good take. I'm really unsure about giving it extra shots in any capacity though, that seems like it would bring as much feel-bad as it would feel-good. (for one it would be more taxing to count the shots if you have to pay attention to how your ally went down, getting sniped by a shot you didn't realize they had doesn't seem like it'd feel great. Another is getting a shot refresh just as the duration ends.) But overall, really inspiring video to watch, there's so much innovation that could be had.

2:34 I think this is more of a problem with the Maps. A lot of those one ways drops and abysmal cover makes it hard to retreat .once you get hit by one outside hit you don’t really have a lot of options to move out of way. Many times I’ll see the second shot coming and I just can’t go anywhere bc there’s little cover or I can’t move away as easily. Personally I’d slow down the fire a tiny bit . So my idea is Nerf-Fire rate a tiny bit. Nerf -S1 start up time Nerf -Brief indicator of impact (Or louder activation sound) Buff- Land a direct hit on the first shot and ONLY the first shot you get an extra shot . Buff-Use sub weapons Buff -Use trizooka while super jumping

i love that detail of it's direct dealing 220 dmg when the original zooka was a 220p special

I'm not a game designer or good player, but I think an interesting change could be making the shots weaker and have them start more spread out before converging over distance. making the weapon less effective as a panic button and weaker against enemies behind cover. and placing it more as tool for dealing with ranged enemies

The Twitter example is silly. A charger would have killed him in the exact same way. The zooka user said that before that clip, the guy had tried rushing in that exact same way multiple times. Acting in a predictable manner can get you killed in any shooter. I'm not saying the special doesn't need changes, but I am saying that the argument of "there's no counterplay" is flawed.

I like the new weaknesses this special has in this rework! It's so often that it feels really obnoxious to fight against this special, and any time I get to take advantage of its weaknesses, it feels very interesting. It's the kind of thing where just about every other special really makes you rethink how you approach an opponent, but Trizooka is like "well let's just hope this one goes ok"

Chara want's every special to be inkjet

A sound when an enemy pops a Trizooka is already in the game, and I think it got made more obvious pretty early on. It's just that it's still unreactable because zero startup

This is probably one of the most interesting but also insane reworks I've seen on this channel. Giving shots back on it's on to me just sounds absolutely bonkers to think about.

The extra shot on direct would be very fun. If it would happen I would love to hear a very satisfying sound effect like the Double Donk sound effect for the loose cannon in TF2.

1:20 yo is that a Zorconic reference?

I think this rework is remarkably elegant. It makes trizooka stronger in the way that it feels like the devs were trying to make it powerful Namely 1. Directs 2. Collateral directs The reason this is the way I think the devs intended it to be is because design wise this special’s primary strength is its ability to wipe teams from across the map. That is is integral to the special’s design, however with patches and with the current state it’s in it has become more about this generalist special that can wipe teams rather than it’s specialist capabilities to wipe teams without being very mobile or being very effective at managing closer targets. This rework makes that niche shine and it’s great.

Remember the times when Trizooka was considered weak due to being inconsistant?

Oh my god wow i didnt expect my clip to actually be used in a prochara video :0

I think a change that could make it feel a lot more fair without being nearly as drastic as this is to simply make the shot one big hitbox instead of three smaller ones (without changing how the projectile visually looks). Thay way it would at least be more consistent feeling and wouldn't be able to get, or miss, kills for seemingly no reason. That plus more startup and either a radius or indirect damage nerf would put it in a good spot I think

I was today years old when I learned that each of the swirling blobs in a Trizooka shot was a separate projectile

The direct hits reloading ammo sounds great for a single player campaign, like a skill tree upgrade.

Omg imagine Chara talking about Reworks for stuff like Ink armor and Sting Ray, that would be interesting

Tightening the shot spread should also mean that you manage to curve a bullet around cover it‘s more likely since the weapon was aimed at and edge or corner of the cover. Which at high level could be a nice little bit of skill expression and adds a little bit of a which side should I aim for mindgame

In addition to the changes suggested, what if instead of 3 spiraling bullets, you have 1 larger one? The larger bullet would paint the same amount and have the same hitbox size, but then you eliminate the randomness of directs not hitting and the ability of bullets to curve around cover. Plus, one larger bullet is thematically more accurate for a bazooka

I guess when called it "tri"-zooka, they really obsessed over 3s instead of fair game design

We desperately also need a Video like this for Ink Vac. I like the Idea of a defensive Weapon that works on Range and allows Movement, but I feel like that almost never works effectively. Rarely I've had Success using it as a Way to destroy the Barrier in Rainmaker or to escort fellow Players in that Mode or Clam Blitz, but given how many Backliners and Long Range Weapons have that Sub (Jet Squelcher, 96 Gallon, Charger, Ballpoint) you hardly ever get in a Situation where you escort others in close Proximity while it doesn't really work to protect yourself either (you die before you equip the Special even after activating it, you die before you are able to shoot your Shot, you get killed by a frontal Attack despite the Special being activated because the Opponent in close Proximity shoots below the Cone in which the Ink is sucked in, you are easily outmaneuvered in open Terrain due to the Vac slowing you down, yet it is of little Use when you are cornered too and when you are facing more than one Opponent you are effed anyways etc. pp.). An Idea of mine I could see working is to abandon the Opinion of the long-range Shot in Favour of a close to mid Range Attack that activates automatically (maybe something akin to basicly a larger Blaster Explosion or multiple smaller explosive Shots being fired off in a Fan-Shape). The Idea is that Enemies could be sure that your Shot - if charged - will go off in any Case and quickly at that, making it more attraktive for them to run instead of lurking around to kill you when you'll have to fire and aim your Shot. It would basicly a Panic-Button Special that doesn't aim to kill, but still helps the Player by forcing Enemies into a certain Distance. But it could also kill if someone is foolish enough to stay in its Range or in Synergy with some other Specials like Killer Wail 5.1 or Tenta Missiles that could cause an Opponent to move into its Range or make him unable to flee.

Trizooka is just the sharingan special, fuckin broken 😭💀

You sure came up with a lot of ideas on fixing specials. In fact, Nintendo could you hire you to help make Splatoon 4.

Ah, I was going to suggest the one shot detonating with a big AOE. Refunding ammo on one shot is a great idea.

How I understand trizooka is that the biggest problems it has is no startup and the damage being too high on the aoe. This seems to only need two changes in my mind - increased startup - a weaker outside hit box (like EVERY OTHER EXPLOSION IN THE GAME)

that would be a very fun change to zooka, reminds me of the 'one more' system in persona

The swirling around opponents explanation explains a lot.

I think it would be funny if instead of there being a light you were a big lump of ink while swimming because the trizooka is huge.

When you mentioned the “keep zooka out for the whole duration even if you’re out of shots” debuff, I was thinking awarding a fourth shot for getting three splats with zooka would be cool. But I like the “one extra shot for every direct” idea even more 😁 really cool changes and I think this would make trizooka SUPER hype to get good at and wait to use at the right time

The getting extra shots on direct seems scary to me, but if you can see where the shots are going beforehand then yeah I guess that'll be pretty fair

I think adding a start lag + a bit more lag between shots would solve a lot of issues. Also remove the ability of holding the button to fire the 3 shots would help a lot

I would love to see a video like this on Ink Vac

For me some of this feels needlessly complicated. Instead of being forced to carry the zooka after all 3 shots, giving it swim glow and the ability to use subs I'd just make it unable to swim.

I think it should have a start up sound effect. Something letting others know it was just popped out. Can't tell you how many times I was blind sided by multiple users

I feel like if the tri-zooka was replaced with the regular inkzooka from Splatoon 1, with some tweaks, and no one would have a problem with it. Chara's 7 issues (mostly) fixed with just having the inkzooka in S3: 1. The 3 spiraling shots doesn't exist with the regular inkzooka meaning there's no broken hitboxes 2. Again, no broken hitboxes, no problem (unless i'm missing something). 3. I'm not really sure about the start-up time of inkzooka in S1 so idk about this one. 4. Inkzooka (as far as i'm aware) doesn't have an explosion so, no explosion, no broken 2-shot hitbox 5. In S1, when you shoot the inkzooka, it just has creates a line from where it got shot from, and if you got hit, tough luck. 6. Inkzooka was made to spam so this issue isn't fixed sadly. 7. I don't think there was even a slowdown when swimming with inkzooka but Nintendo can tweak that.

A neat buff i would give it is the ability to tighten the spread by holding the fire button this goes up to the point where it feels like your firing one large bullet of course your *really* vurnable if you go for this and you cant charge hold it

I love your reworks for the special!! However, there are a few super specific things relating to brellas that I would have loved to see- -If any of the trizooka shots hit a brella shield, all of the shots will be destroyed and no damage will be dealt to the user. Sometimes when fighting against the special, especially when using a splat brella can feel dumb because you lose your brella AND you get hit for 53 damage :/ -Trizooka shot indirects will only slightly damage splat brella and tenta brella shields To the best of my knowledge, you can hit an indirect on the brella shield with a trizooka and still break the entire thing which feels super silly and I think it shouldn’t be that way -It will take two direct shots from a trizooka to break a tenta brella’s shield I don’t know it kind of feels wrong to me that a single shot will break the entire shield when it’s supposed to be the beefiest one in the game Anyways those are some of my hopes, (can you tell I play brellas?)

Just in case, I'd add a cap to the amount of shots it can get from hitting directs. Like, maybe at 5 or 6. Otherwise zooka spam could get a hit ridiculous.

It feels weird that Nintendo does not introduce more drastic changes with each patch; especially since the longest one lasted a month, while the shortest was a litle over a week and most last around 2-3 weeks.

I just need it to not come out frame 1, literally every other special has a window on startup where you're vulnerable, but a zooka can just panic pop it and shoot you before you can even register it's been activated

Big fan of the idea of dual mechanics for specials. Too many splatoon specials feel one note and the direct shot refill is a great upgrade in that direction, Ink vac comes close with its protection and retaliation, but its one of the few to implement the idea in part. hopefully we see more diverse special usage in the future! (I know super chump could use something in this area for sure...)

Also while this is a bit late, I genuinely think the social you should cover next is super chump. Super interesting concept that is close to being amazing but isn’t quite there

I actually really like the Trizooka. Yeah it can be annoying when an opponent splats you when you don’t see it coming soon enough, but when you do it to them, it’s really satisfying!

the movement penalty hardly feels like a drawback considering you can’t hold onto it for very long anyways

nintendo needs to straight up hire you to do reworks, this is tremendously better than what we have

I had an idea of making the meter work like how Tenta missiles work. A 6 second cool down before you can build another. You basically are locked out of recharging special for a few seconds after spaming shots, and Cooler no longer saves your special further reducing out put. A narrowing spiral for the shots was also a good idea I thought of a while back. Slightly nerf the start up too. And I feel like Zooka is a bit more fair to face and use. My balancing idea was to reduce random deaths, give more reaction time, and reduce the special out put which has been my three problems with it.

a nerf i would do is less of a actual nerf and more so a visual thing: reduce the screenshake when a a shot hits the ground near you. i get its meant to showcase its impact but it can be really disorienting sometimes and i think reducing it somehow would help alot!

What about charging it like the rainmaker? I really like the laser idea, but if you also had to hold it to charge for full-range+damage, it would limit its effectiveness in close combat while increasing its duration between across the map shots. It makes you more vulnerable while you’re charging it making rushing the user a risk/reward play. Sure, they could spam to go back to their main weapon, but then the shots would barely travel and be weaker. Or they could spend more of their duration charging to full power and trying to hit around cover.

I like everything except for being stuck in trizooka even if you fire all the shots, and the shots reloading on hit. Those two things feel like they'd just wind up more annoying than anything else.

Honestly the kill streak type idea is really cool if not….ambitious to say the least.

Honestly I think the startup could be just a little bit longer still, but otherwise I think these changes are perfectly fine and would make it much less frustrating to deal with. Trizooka really does need that fix already, it really has no business being as annoying as it is right now.

The lore for Splatoon 2 says that all specials had to be new, since the ones from the first game were 'too powerful' Uh... Yeah so about that... Yes some were absolutely broken, instant Kraken and bubbler aren't healthy for the game, but zooka??? That's a whole different story.

5:00 someone starts breathing hard af

Trizooka is fine. I’m tired of triple splashdown spammers. That’s a real panic button

….I…. Never knew you could use subs with it in 1

agree with a few of these. biggest change it looks like needed is fixing glitches. how many of those shots went through whatever cover instead of into them? understand the spiral shot but needs to be better on actual misses.

I dunno how I feel about the idea of extra shots. I find the idea of rewarding for direct hits great but for those with exceptional aim this can lead to new problems. If the player has to have the Zooka in it's hand until after cooldown and all you mentioned I would rather have it like this: A splat grants you an additional projectile for your 4th shot. Depending if you are splatting 1 to 3 enemies your 4th shot will either have 1, 2 or 3 of a normal Trizooka shot projectiles. So in the end you either get nothing if you don't splat, or a weakened 4th shot or a normal one.

When I started playing this game, I thought the marker for where you could shoot your trizooka was very inconsistent. I don’t mind it too much, but it could definitely change.

Nice! I also wonder what would happen if you’d reworked Ink armor and sting ray to Splatoon 3? Just wondering.

I agree with pretty much every except the reloading mechanic, I feel that it might be really unhealthy but I’m unsure

While I tend to agree with Chara most of thr time thisnis something I never really agree on. Specials are supposed to be these big and powerful weapons you pull out and so they should be generally really strong and potential tide turners if used right. It's why so many disliked platoon 2 a lot bc the specials were all so limp and niche in what they were capable of. Usually requiring multiple specials to be used at once unless it was one of the few that could be effective by itself. This being said I would like it to be more consistent snd maybe have the splash damage slightly reduced, although I feel explosions have really restrictive and at times ineffective hitboxs...zooka I would feel more fine with being a little more precision based even if thr explosion size and visuals suggests it shoukd do way more. Is quite strong already so I coukd live with that.

yeah, i agree. i feel like this is one john the competitive community continually makes that gets on my nerves(and is why imo we have a ton of extremely underwhelming to use feeling specials like kraken royale or as i like to call it the "please hit me while i go through a entire dragon ball z transformation sequence oh and don't worry too much about running away i'm actually going to be slow as hell have a near useless jump attack and my charge attack will be so heavily telegraphed you'd have to be blind not to see it coming long before it reaches", zipcaster(it's basically just a limp version of inkjet), most of the specials in splatoon 2 as you said, etc.

I’m not a fan of this rework I think. Firstly the big problem is that you’re not considering player skill in balancing. In lower levels like in A rank trizooka is probably a below average special- the amount of aim required to use it with the main saving grace is the 53 damage hitbox. That’s why I think the devs buffed it to 60 in the first place. Making the hitbox smaller, while a good change at top level, will make it a lot worse at lower level. While the aim reticle might help it a bit, I don’t think it will improve it much and mainly help mid level. Remember 90+% of the playerbase is casual oriented. A healthy lower level is key to any game succeeding and bottlenecking more of low level into reefslider, triple splashdown, etc instead of zooka weapons is a bad thing, especially with how strict low level meta already is. Secondly you missed a key issue with zooka. I would argue it’s the reason it’s so good in this meta. Firing 1/2 shots with cooler and dieing allows you to keep a good amount of the special. By the time you jump back in with passive special charge it’s nearly filled up entirely! It allows players to get so much of the special. Since you’re stuck in the special now and get longer duration (leading to less special loss), this will become even stronger/ required, just leading to players overextending with a 1 shot hitbox as much as possible, especially because players will be stuck in it. Thirdly the streaking idea is wayyyy too strong. However that’s speculation, but just imagine getting a double then the player has even more shots. This would probably be one of the strongest specials in any splatoon game, but again speculation It’s easy to criticise others ideas- especially with how much effort this video took so well done. I would write my rework idea but this comment is already too long

"Splattershot is my Main and I just point my Tri-Zooka up and get kills because of the AOE, damage, and fast shots flying across the hallway maps..." Yea, the reality we have to live in untill the Devs look to the thing and fix it. (Also I fell like the Start up time should be 0.95 because fairness and "look before you shoot".

I think the lazer + retical for zooka shouldn't be too hard to add. There's already a retical for a special with a one-shot and arched projectile. Throwing the ultra stamp.

> Fixing the most hated special in splatoon > Look inside > Unhated special

honestly, okay firstly ik I don't comment a lot on these but this video really highlighted some problems that I didn't even notice are with zooka, and the changes I think are honestly fair! I really like the decreased in spacing for the shots so they can reward actually hitting the one shot, something I personally like to go for anyway so having THAT be more consistent. Which is what I've BEEN wanting, would be nice cause holy fuck the amount of times I see ppl either phase or just miss by the shots, causes me actual agony.

Yo chara, I've got a question. So I'm doing my senior project on how pencil is a huge problem right now, and I'm wondering if I can use your sendouQ usage rates chart in my project. Just trying to do the right thing and get permission first

​@@LogiCreatesthank you so much! My teacher isn't requiring me to have a works cited, but I'll make sure to write that down in case he wants me to provide proof. Have a good morning/day/evening/night!

The lockin might be a problem for salmon runners though

It’s scary looking when it has a start up time

Duration buff- I think the current duration is fine, but going along with your direct-reload buff, give it an additional 2 seconds for every direct you hit.

I would also give Zooka the ability to superjump, it could do it in s1, might as well add it to s3.

Would be cool to let other specials superjump while we're at it. I think splashdown is the only one that can in s3, and even then its nerfed while jumping specifically 😭

6:57 I feel like there should be a weakness to this, maybe 0.75 of a shot? Instead of just another complete shot after a kill for a maximum of 6 shots or something

The additional shot adds more problems. Youd need to add it for all the specials too then. Something similar. Everything else was pretty giod though.

My grandma loved this video :000
