Here I am, and we finally have our release date and a brand new trailer, and I’m so excited that it wouldn’t be a new Splatoon 3 trailer without Watson doing a ridiculously long in-depth analysis.
I guess it wouldn’t be a new trailer without Watson’s in-depth analysis, but there’s so much to discover this time around that I may have overdone it this time and I’m a few days late, but I had to take the time to make sure it was of the highest quality and why from my perspective, I’ve been playing Splatoon since the release of the first game and became a European and Vice World Champion, so I know about something or two about this series.
What I’m trying to say is that if you want to know more about it, then come on down and tell me! I will provide you with more information.
First the stunts, the trailer shows two brand new stunts, one of which is some kind of vacuum cleaner that looks like it came straight out of Luigi’s mansion or something, the twitter account confirms it’s name is inkwac, it has a fairly low start up time, lasts about 5 seconds and is used twice in the trailer, it can eat and absorb projectiles no matter how big they are, it’s slusher shots shooter shots or even bombs it also has some kind of bag or canister on its back, the more you absorb the more it fills up, after you’re done absorbing you can orphan your defenses and finally fire a big shot followed by a huge explosion, kind of like the rainmaker shot in spatton.
so we don’t know if you can really hold it longer than that or it’s a fixed amount of time, and we don’t know if parts like the absorption can be canceled because both times they took a full 5 seconds, but what if there are no more opponents around and you want to cancel or just want to shoot early? It would be nice if it could be canceled, but we can’t be sure, and in the extra tilt clip we can find out that you can only suck in a certain amount of ink before your tank is full, which causes you to have to shoot immediately to properly prevent your stunt from overheating or whatever, and there’s a red circle that shows how big your blast will be.
We also saw a clip of the weapon shooting a pretty big shot without absorbing any ink, which is odd because even Twitter confirms that the attack gets more powerful as it inhales more ink, but if you ask me, the shot here seems deadly enough without inhaling any ink, and it’s definitely a great stunt to perform against your opponent, it is kind of like an interactive support stunt. It’s like an interactive support stunt, it also turns its defense into offense, and it looks a lot more interesting than the support stunts we used to have in doors, like the armor in Spartan 2, where you just click the button and that’s it, so I really like that push for more interactive stunts. 0, because if you look at the top right corner it looks exactly like the missiles in Ink Attack, only with three of them, but I think that’s what makes this game, I mean it’s called spatton 3 after all, isn’t it, when it launches it immediately fires the missiles and after that you’re free to run, so you’re not stuck in an animation just like the Tenta missiles or the original Ink Strike missile launches, you can fire three projectiles, and depending on where they land, additional projectiles will hit there, which begs the question, can you shoot down Ink Strike’s projectiles? I wonder if it replaces the missiles we saw in the first trailer I mean after all the missiles evolved from Ink Strike because they never showed the missiles in the trailer or on the website or on any social media, they may not even be in the game, but either way Ink Strike can still land on the turf after the game is done, just not too long after the game is done.
