the one thing that actually scared me when i was 5 playing splatoon with my dad

In Kraken's endlag you can still move. That's infinitely better than forced to be a statue after a reefslider. Kraken outclasses it and ultra stamp

honestly the kraken is sooo fun to use and not completely terrible to fight against honestly

I've only heard of the terrors that the Kraken brought to Splatoon 1, but since I was a Splatoon 2 scrub, I never experienced them for myself. I was actually quite happy that there weren't any of those broken specials in the later games... *And then the fresh season happened.*

kraken. *immense amount of cheering*

I honestly thought the kraken wasn’t as bad as the splatoon one version, but apparently it’s a power house according to competitive players. Tho I will say it’s quite awkward when your trying to go full aggro and your opponent just avoids everything or just has ninja squid to hide from you, it’s a tad bit humiliating but Jesus this thing must be a nightmare on tower control…

I loved that the kraken returned While others feared the kraken, I tamed the kraken back in the old glory days of Inkopolis. I'm excited especially for side order since Kraken does 60 damage minimum Octarians get splatted after 60 damage (they die to a direct burst bomb hit, which does 60 damage) Meaning that there's a giant chance there is an infinite kraken level in side order

Btw, Kraken Royale has piercing properties, as i discovered to my delight after oneshotting a steelhead. And a scrapper. And several lessers.

Ackshually it’s called the kraken Royale I’m splatoon 3 *snorts intensely*

Finally, kraken inside the mind

As someone who started with Splatoon 2 as my first game, I find 1:09 very accurate! Good Job Alpha

The moment you hear the sound of a kraken being activated, you know you're very likely a target... r u n Seriously, they somehow managed to make the most terrifying splatoon 1 special an even bigger threat, quite literally too. Awesome video Alpha! 🐯

As someone who only played Splatoon 2 (and started a literal week before 3’s announcement lmao) I never did experience the terror of the OG kraken for myself, however, just watching KZread videos was enough for me to know this thing was going to be too teir, if not Splash 2.0 on release.

As a 96 Deco player, I love this bad boy that Kraken Royale is

IT'S THE THING ABOUT *"RUBY GILLMAN: THE TEENAGE KRAKEN"* something I never knew I would see in my life

I played splatoon 1 at my friend's house a lot when I was younger and I was pretty bad at video games then so I loved kraken because it meant I just got to win a fight with him by pressing the stick

The thing I feel most satisfying with kraken is when you stall them through squid rolling

“You know chill season was nice, but I am exited for the new fresh season” *checks twitter* “Oh no”

4:16 can't help but get the "The matrix is after me" vibes.

Kraken Splat Roller User here! The only reason I use it is the beacons so I can just put them anywhere for my team.😅

As a splatoon 1 veteran, it was terrifying when the enemy team had a kraken and you could only hope the kraken ran out before your ink tank did. *and now they gave it a charge attack*

The rapid text on 0:23 says “Bring back salt spray rig”

I was both the victim of the Kraken and the user of the Kraken in Splatoon 1 yet I still fear it with all of my soul.

If you don’t do the super chump after then you are a giant chump you stanky chump you dang scrubby chump and you better put in the line “it’s chumping time” and then chump all over the enemy.

1:38 Go go gadget, concussion!

Ive always wanted to become squidward's head and use skull bash at every single poor hp special.

Despite me playing all three games i absolutely lost it when I saw krackens return especially now that the octolings get their own version

Imagine this you are a inkling and you see Sheldon post that he is bring back kraken. You are sad but yet you realize that the kraken is small and know with faster fire rate weapons it should be easy to deal with it. But when it came out it turn out to be 10 TIMES ITS SIZE! And start charging right at you and you can’t knock it back so you die in disbelief.

As someone who mained Krak-On in S1, and still mains it now I'm thrilled it's back. It took me uh, longer than I'd like to admit to remember there's start up lag, and I landed off stage at least once on stream (I think it was in Umami). Glad there's major knock back when you're on tower as kraken now, because honestly you shouldn't really be up there anyway. Best let a teammate ride tower while you scare the enemy team away from it (unless there's a bomb, then you go up and tank it to keep from losing control of the tower and reset that timer).

Alpha pls keep up inside the mind it is so enjoyable

Been waiting for this

5:26 update, you can no longer hold the clam in kraken ;w;

I say “Let there be giant sushi”, you say “let there be giant sushi”; we all say “Let. There. Be. Giant. Sushi.”.

I have not once ran off the edge while using Kraken.

In splatoon 1 I used to keep the kraken at bay by knocking it back with an inkzooka since it had multiple shots

I was a Kraken main back in splatoon 1, Hell Fire shall rain.

That intro was so relatable

kraken= biggest bird

lotta basketball refrences in this episode...

Why am I having a cursed idea. What if they brought back Stingray- BUT reworked it. Instead of being a global special, it’s much shorter range, say half the map instead of full map or maybe less, just so that it doesn’t be broken on maps like Mahi Mahi. And once you start it, you have a small frame of time, like maybe half a second where all enemies have a thermal ink effect. But you cannot go into the ink to get this effect back. Stingray can still shoot through walls but does less damage than it would if it was shooting through the open. And maybe instead of it being purely time based, it’s mainly based on how much you have ink your ink tank, but still has a duration of time before the Stingray poofs out of existence. And to add to that, once you finish using the stingray, you have to wait a little bit to charge it up again. Even though it looks used in your main bar, maybe in like a mini bar beside it shows how much you have to wait before you can charge it again. If the devs really want to bring back the horrid nightmares of Splatoon 1 known as Kraken, I think this would be a decent way to bring back the horrid nightmares of Splatoon 2. Oh and to top it off. Have this reworked stingray be on less paint efficient weapons, like maybe a gal, and well to be extra funny put it on a dynamo. And make it so that instead of being 190p for Gal, it’s maybe a 200p-210p special? Do that it gets it less Stingrays to make it not extremely broken. And for Dynamo, either keep it 180p or bump it up to 190p, since without any special charge up it takes 11 vertical flicks to charge up 1 tacticooler at 190p, and with 3 mains of special charge, it’s 7 vertical flicks. Maybe even put it on a foil squeezer? Nah- And for Special power up, only increase it’s duration and or thermal ink effect duration to maybe a second and a half or 2 seconds. If they were to make it increase the length/damage through walls if they were to nerf the damage through walls, you’d see a lot of players run special power up. And if there is anything to explain how broken Stingray was and how it will be if they brought it back in it’s normal form, Stinger in salmon run is a clear reason as to why they should nerf it, if it comes back. Do I think the devs should bring back Stingray? No, god no it would ruin balance, though would add a new option to counter Crab Meta. But I am not a game dev or a good special balance designer. I just wanted to, ramble about my favorite sounding special (the main reason I liked using it was for the sound and not it’s brokenness) and most hated fighting against special from Splatoon 2.

as a spatoon 1 veteran myself, this thing gives me nightmares.

As a veteran of Splatoon “I’ve bin playing since day one” I can say the kraken is scary and wish they didn’t bring it back I honestly think it’s still broken, maybe not as broke as Splatoon OG but still

ive played Splatoon 1 and am the rare minority that loves the kraken. The sheer terror of seeing it, the power trip of having it. Op specials made Splatoon 1 Splatoon 1

Ok so I never played splatoon 1 but I still got terrifyed when kraken royale was announced cuz I had heard some stories about it

here is an essay from chat gpt: bloblobber: the best weapon ever The Bloblobber is a powerful and versatile weapon in the popular video game Splatoon. This weapon stands out from the rest due to its unique features, making it the best weapon ever created in the game. In this essay, we will explore the reasons why the Bloblobber is the best weapon in Splatoon. First and foremost, the Bloblobber is an extremely effective weapon in both offensive and defensive playstyles. Its primary mode of attack is a high-arc lob of ink, which allows the player to attack enemies from above or around obstacles. This makes it easier to catch enemies by surprise and take them out quickly. Additionally, the Bloblobber's secondary mode of attack is a shotgun-like burst of ink, which can be used in close quarters combat or for quick kills. Another advantage of the Bloblobber is its ability to cover a large area with ink quickly. This is particularly useful in game modes like Turf War or Splat Zones, where the objective is to cover as much territory with ink as possible. With the Bloblobber, players can quickly and easily cover large swaths of territory, giving their team a distinct advantage over their opponents. The Bloblobber is also a great weapon for taking out enemy ink armor, which is a common defense used by opponents to protect themselves from attacks. The high-arc lob of ink can easily bypass the armor, leaving opponents vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Moreover, the Bloblobber has excellent range, allowing players to attack from a distance while still maintaining a safe distance from enemy fire. This makes it a particularly useful weapon for players who prefer to stay back and provide support to their teammates. In terms of its design, the Bloblobber is a unique and interesting weapon that stands out from the rest. Its distinctive shape and bright colors make it a visually appealing choice for players who like to show off their style. Finally, the Bloblobber is a relatively easy weapon to master, making it an excellent choice for players of all skill levels. Its simple yet effective gameplay mechanics make it easy for new players to pick up and play, while its versatility and range make it a popular choice among experienced players. In conclusion, the Bloblobber is the best weapon in Splatoon ever created due to its unique features, effectiveness in both offensive and defensive playstyles, ability to cover large areas with ink quickly, great range, and ease of use. Its distinctive design and overall appeal make it a popular choice among players of all skill levels, making it a must-have weapon for any Splatoon player. thanks chatgpt!

when i first used the kraken in splatoon 3 i stats pressing “X” and wondering why i wouldn’t jump, got to used to the kraken

I started playing splatoon 1 when it came out but i was 5 so i forgot what the kraken even did

removing kraken taming while adding 2.4 seconds to the duration “balancing” :)

I don’t know who at Nintendo decided to make the kraken invincible, but then again if it’s invincible it feels more like how the kraken felt in Splatoon 1. Also I’ve suggested this multiple times but idk if you noticed. *Cursed build idea: special power up wavebreaker.* I saw in a prochara vid how much the wavebreaker radius can increase with just 3 subs of special power up (which is a lot), so what if we add more? 👀
