thank you all so much for watching and have a great christmas :)
10:13 Volume warning for headphone wearers. I died. I'm writing this from the afterlife.
I'm dedicating my life in your memory
It's too late.. The damage to my ears was already done.
I wear headphones but I recently had surgery and can’t use my ear buds for a bit so I’m fine rn
I read this at 10:12 not even joking I managed to turn it down enough to the point where it didn't hurt TOO much
This really proves that it's less about the weapons and more about the player and their skill with positioning, coordination, etc...
unless you're using big swig in anything that's not turf or zones
Yeah, especially in soloqueue, teamcomps don't matter that much. Only in competitive is where they rlly matter
those japanese players aren't smurfs, they are just better than other people for some bizarre reason
Japanese players just have a higher average skill level in each rank
Asian grind
It's because there are a lot more Japanese players than other demographics who will have better connection to each other because they're a lot closer, so mechanical skill can really go up due to low latency.
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 player since 2017 splatoon 2 till now splatoon 3 I can say that you are wrong. Japan players are toxic. They play aggressive at first, but when they know they lost in skill, they play very defensive. The skilled japan player have above average skill then other player but the bad one, worse then most other non japan player. So you are almost pure gambling if play in japan region. If you can't be a superior player that can carry them, then you will mostly defeat in each round.
More over. Jap player each round mostly play individually. They don't much care with other team member nor the mode itself. You will find mostly don"t want to carry RM or stand on TC. Mostly they let you non jap do that. They don"t want look bad on the score. Killed lots.
So for player from other region then jap that want to change server. Remember my advice above. Be prepare for the best and worse players in jap region.
@@bng3450 lol saying this without ever stating your X power is lame. For one, literally none of your argument support your “Japanese players toxic” claim. And secondly, weapons got roles. Maybe you’re the one that’s supposed to do the objective and that’s why all decent teammates expect you to do your job while they can do their job.
Tip as an undercover brella main is to utilize your inkmines for bonus damage as they deal 45 dmg plus 40 it usually will guarantee you a free kill when used properly
Seeing clams get passed in C rank is cursed, people dont even do that in A rank lmao.
people do that in A rank (i’m a year late)
As someone who mains Undercover in S3 and plays it on X-Rank purely out of spite, it is interesting to see the lower ranks and someone unfamiliar with the weapon. I'm more fascinated with the fact that you're running a more aggressive set with both Ninja perks. Undercover feels very muddy in its usage. It is a frontline, but how does it function exactly? Definitely smart move to omit Special Charge Up, since... you know. (Honestly a miracle that Dark Tetras is a high-tier weapon.)
Since higher ranks will be more merciless, Quick Respawn as a main slot is a good idea, since it can EASILY get bum-rushed. Run Speed Up also helps for more effective positioning, since the perk applies to strafing speed. The problem is that it need a LOT to make it work. Comeback is even recommended for it, due to its frail nature, often in tandem with Quick Respawn. It doesn't help that the devs seem to have both a strong bias for the Shooter class and against the Brellas, for no reason. So unless they actually make them viable in some way, they're pretty much relegated to obscurity. Ironic, because the current meta is all about HP Specials, especially Crab Tank.
On the bright side, it is funny to see genuine low-rank players fumble against the main weapon and special.
I played extremely aggressive throughout the entire series purely because I am a Skirmisher/Slayer and I would do better playing it that way instead of a support since I have some idea what I'm doing. I ran this ninja stealth jump build all the way until s rank, I then switched to coincidently exactly what you reccomend, comeback and qr. I'm not sure my mechanical skill improved too much with it, but honestly I was surprised how fun the weapon was to play
@@fragzz Ah, I see. I tend to be more Jack-of-All, though I lean more in Support. Support-Skirmish is the closest I could describe Undercover, since it really can't kill: three shots minimum, four to five on average, due to how messy the shots are. Glad to hear that you had fun using it.
I recall during the last Splatfest I queued with a friend and played mostly undercover, and it was quite funny seeing how much players struggled to deal with the fact I had so much durability, it won me many 2v1's (and a few 3v1's) I was sure I should have lost based on my Splatoon 2 Experiences with the weapon. So yeah, I definitely think players at the lower end of the skill curve just can't figure out what to do against the Undercover.
I hope i never get matched with you in my x battles. Not in my team, that is.
I was planning of making a full run speed build with undercover for the memes but knowing it's viable scares me a little
Something I like to do with any weapon that uses Ink mines, Undercover especially, is to place them on an enemy super jump spot to ensure their fate is sealed/ make the kill time faster so I can move on.
I think the teams being overly good is more the result of people who took a break after last season starting to play again, it makes c-rank a little bit more then some newbies
i was a undercover brella main in splatoon 2 for a while, i plan to get it to 5 stars in 3. you offend me greatly. really good video i enjoyed your insight on the actual gameplay
also personally i always played as a support with this weapon because of the ink mines and low dps. if you can make good ink mine placement it increases the dps a TON, not good enough to play aggressive, but still REALLY good for support in general. the ink mines are like the most important part of this weapon to be honest. i feel like it needs a different special though, reefslider doesnt really synergize well. (that could be a skill issue on me tho)
i played it like a slayer in this series because i main slayer/skirmisher weapons, and as a result i forgot to use mines almost the entire series LMAO. im well aware they CAN work if used well, i just have no experience with support weapons, and as youll see in the upcoming parts, this didnt turn out to be a huge issue.
@@fragzz oh thats fair. im the complete opposite lol, i main primarily support weapons. it is interesting to see this from the perspective of an aggressive player though!
I understand why people say undercover brella sucks but honestly it's really fun to play with
I'm pretty sure series matches you with literally anyone from any rank. open usually matches with similar skill level/rank but I'm not too sure abt it
it matches you with what the game determines as similar skill. since I played turf war with a friend and was winning a lot at the very start the matchmaking algorithm puts me pretty high right off the bat.
@@fragzz damn
I guess I'm flattered the game thinks I'm good enough to be matched with s+ players
Those guys in c werent smurfs, you say that a lot of people are smurfs that aren't lol. A lot of people play a lot of turf before rank, and with more ppl watch splatoon videos, that also gives them an adavantage. Splashomatic is also a weapon with medium range perfect accuracy high fire rate and medium damage. Part of the reason japanese players are better sometimes cuz like wifi, but overall nothing different about them unless you are in ultra high x rank
11:13 bruh 😂😂😂
as someone who plays SUPER casually and struggles with battles i find your advice for ranked really useful. thank you!!
Cool idea, excited to watch the rest of the series
As someone who gets quite busy and can't always play every season, I definitely think there can be quite a few skilled players in C rank that just can't play often haha
5:41 Look ma, there I am!
yeah ngl i remember this battle and it did not feel like I was up against other C players. I don't usually play ranked since, as my tag indicates, I'm more of a Salmon Run kind of guy, but that was a pretty thorough thrashing I don't typically see. gg though, interested to see the rest of the challenge
im sorry
i love how even though i clicked on this for the challenge i was still taught a lot about ranked battles (dying A-rank stamper main here TT)
ty so much for the extra little lessons!
Nintendo's match making has to be the worst in Splatoon 3, I remember playing on my cousins account to level him up and I ended up getting into a lobby with prochara, we lost
Undercover is a thing when mastered, from experience
8:50 Even though it does look like the shield blocked the power clam, it appears to be that the enemy team threw the ball at the side of the uninkable blocks. The ink explosion where the ball made contact was a ways away from your shield, and due to the reflective trajectory of the ball when it hits a wall, it looks to be like it hit the wall and not the shield. Just thought I'd point that out. Aside from that, great job on the video!
really gotta ruin the magic 😔
Did you forget about the Big Swig Roller? The Undercover Brella isn't the worst weapon in the game.
undercover is worse than big swig. big swigs one strength is being able to stall zone a lot, undercover doesn't really have anything it's good at
Excited for this series cause I also wanna learn the undercover brella just for shits n gigs. Subbed n will be following you on this journey :’)
I've been playing since S2 and almost never played ranked, but I do consider myself decent at turf war. Highest I got once was A-, now I'm trying ranked again (with the Eliter) and I can't get out of C rank. I think the level is high, I feel like I either get carried or get run over.
8:14 *cough* fragzz was Gaster all along *cough*
I also believe that the ranking system does match up the players around each other's skill levels compared to what your actual rank may be. The Wii U matching system would rank you base on your rank regardless of skill level.
If matchmaking is done by power and not rank then I get matched against people with higher power than me and get teammates with power lower than me. A lot lower.
I believe it does a sort of mixing of the two in Series, and just uses power in open.
And yes I feel this multiple times a play session in anarchy, at least an x-rank you know that if you lose a bunch of games that you're supposed to lose, you only get knocked a little bit, in anarchy it's all or nothing because the scoring is 0% reliant on glicko
This went from challenge to tutorial 😂
12:16 cooperation? We love to see it.
Love the communication error
I love that you make this journey an educational thing!
If you’re using undercover, if you can, keep your shield down so it Regens hp. Also matchmaking is awful so you can see s+ players in c rank and vice-versa
also an explosher in c- (third game) is smt that will never happen ngl they just think, "low dps, no good"
so this is why i keep queuing undercover brellas
Can confirm this is C rank, not smurfs. I was in A rank for every splat 2 mode and got put in C-. Also, I don’t play a lot.
First time splatoon player here, thanks for the rundown. Def been tunneling and overwhelmed by enemies who don't
welcome to my world! i did the same challenge but with explosher! i also forced myself to use joycon with extreme drift, during the challenge, so i was using weapon that i never had used before WITH extreme joycon drift!
Very cool idea! I am going to do something similar when I (if?) complete my charger only challenge from C- to X. I am currently at A and knocking on the door of A+.
I find it funny how sometimes people in S+ just make a rush with no numbers advantage (sometimes on their own) for me :(
And I think you play ranked with people in that rand zone. So like you could be B rank and plsy with B- and B+ people.
Good video, h-3 might be worse though
@@arottedfruit iight record and do it lol
H-3 is a good support tho...
@@arottedfruit facts and good reasoning
@@arottedfruit W
Gotta hard disagree here
Can you try this with big swig roller?
this is a good idea! maybe in the future!
This guy who missed 2 powerclams could have been me (S Rank) lmfao
i love undercover
I have the best weapons in the game at my disposal and am hardstuck A-, i'm so fucking bad! I rlly gotta get back into grinding ranked but turf is just so much more fun, especially now that I'm experimenting with two new weapons I never played before and am rlly loving, namely ballpoint and especially explosher, I have not had this much fun with the game since the last time I played E Liter! But ranked is always so sweaty, especially once I make it out of B...
Btw you don’t need level 10 you can just get to level 2 on that account on splatoon 2 and then start splatoon 3 for Sheldon cards and for ranked early :D
yeah I know, unfortunately I didn't have an alt account with a splatoon 2 level 10, and it doesn't take longer to level up in 3 than 2, so there wasn't much of a point.
My cousin was level 8 and he got ranked battles in 3 lol
Brella sweep! you got this
the ball didnt hit your canopy, it hit the wall right next to the guy who threw it
bro its been 3 months, you're real
Lol I kinda wanna try this. Great job btw!
One question. Why didn’t you play a bit of splatoon 2 to transfer the data and unlock anarchy quickly and have golden sheldon licenses to also get undercover quickly?
it takes pretty much the same time to hit level 10 in splatoon 2 and 3 and I didn't need any of the other perks that came from a save data transfer
@@fragzz Oh thanks, I never knew that you needed to be level 10 in order for the data transfer
Wow you’re good at this game I can’t get to s rank with the weapons I normally use😢
My dude acting like players with a C- rank are a whole new species 😂
they are to me!
Pov: Your main is the undercover brella 😶
Undercover brella is really good if yiu know how to use it properly tbh i got 22 splats with it and im c+
The undercover Brella isn’t the worst weapon the brella is .
I mean it's definitely bad and the weapon doesn't work but it's special is actually pretty decent. its up to you honestly
Play X with Brella when you get there?
I would love to but unfortunately I would have to buy Nintendo switch online and I simply cannot spend 4$ for one month. far too expensive for me.
@@fragzz just 20€ for a whole year. Maybe you could try saving up some money?
@@stenf0rss nah im just joking lol. ofc i could do this, it would be an interesting concept, however i feel like it would be very time consuming to commit to. its not off the table, just not very likely.
S+ is like 1500 XP which translates to B rank in Splatoon 2. Splatoon 3 players put so much attention to S+ and think that they achieve or prove something by reaching S+. But no, unlike ranks in Splatoon 2, ranks in Splatoon 3 is merely a ticket for X battles. Nothing more than that.
Now I’ve definitely seen undercover mains in high X power battles both in Splatoon 2 and 3. It’s doable. I agree with you. It’s just that the method your using to prove it doesn’t actually prove it. Therefore, if you could extend this series to X battle (at the very least to 2200 XP I think), that would be very nice, and actually meaningful.
believe me im well aware s+ is much less of an achievement here than s2. i think its still a decent skill benchmark tho. every weapon in this game is viable and im not necessarily trying to prove its worth, it doesnt really need that, im just doing this to see if i could have done this and how difficult it was.
oh hey its my favorite weapon. am on S+ rn
Great editing and gameplay! I’m also dead at 10:13… yikes.
sorry for clipping you
Awesome video! Great content!
undercover is porb my favorite brella it is just so weak and doesnt have a good kit making it unusable
This was a very entertaining video.
i mained undercover in splatoon 2 i was actuall good
i swear japenease players are just insane compared to us USA and UK players
Your content is so fun to watch :D
This was in my raccomandations, i bought splatoon 3 a week ago and im currently lvl11 and it's my first splatoon game.
Is it me or i don't notice players when im fighting? Like even in the video i don't see what is he shooting untill he kills the dude, he's litteraly shooting randomly then i hear the splat sound...
The aim too, i don't know how he is so smooth when moving aim...
I come from pc so i hope that it's just that im not adapted to the motion yet, but regarding the fact that i dont see people bothers me a lot since everyone seem to not miss where i go when i try to escape as squid while they shoot me...
Currently using the long medium-long range splatter gun with the ability that marks people when thrown and it's better, but it's really bad that i have to play like that, when i don't see people they jump on me with a close range gun and destroy me... kinda sad
Hope it gets better soon, gonna watch the entire series up to S rank and subscribed, really entertaining to watch and you are funny too!
motion takes quite a while to get used to but trust me it is so worth it. i come from pc games as well, and its way better than sticks will ever be. eventually its just as good as keyboard and mouse. it just takes time. also this isnt an elegant solution but if you are struggling to notice players you can try turning the gamma up on your monitor. or, use color lock, its a setting built into the game. glad youre enjoying!
@@fragzz Yeah im starting to get the hang of it, both with aim and the rest. What i mean by saying that i don't see people is when i shoot and they go into squid mode, is not about color or gamma if they turn the same color as the ground ahahah.
It might just be me not being used to it tho, better think of it as a marathon instead of a rush!
Bro i cant even get past b+
i miss being able to make new aacounts on my switch and play with noobs
but what if im bad at the game and suck at everyone and am a loser and end up floozing it and killing no one while dying myself and disappointing everyone on my team and myself and my parents
never back down, never give up
bro i cant even climb from c- to c
Under is actually pretty good
gonna have to disagree there
play sniper without charging
I am trying to go from B- Rank to S+50 with the hero shot replica.
best of luck!!
@@fragzz thank you.
very interesting video, keep up 👍
Now thats you unlocked X Rank use the Snipewriter there
hmmmm maybe
@@fragzz No preassure:)
I Just find it interesting but I am bad with it
Omg Toeee
ily dad
Im at A+ rank and I never get passed clams
Heeeeeey, Undercover Brella isn’t the worst weapon 😤. I’d argue that Swig Roller weapon is worse. The main reason is it’s kit is bad but the weapon is ok… ish…
i hate to say it but its a pretty bad main lol
Big swig kinda zone cheese imo
Fun video! The algorithm seems to be serving this up to random people like me. It deserves it!
6:45 nahhhh that doesn't even happen in s lmao
Lol I got into A rank with just undercover
nice!
burger
Are you playing on sticks? It looks like you are but also youre good at the game so i have doubts.
nope I'm on motion! +4 motion +3 sticks. I'm pretty smooth with my aim when I'm not playing dualies
Snipewriter
snipewriter is actually a good weapon now believe it or not
This game's ranking system is piss
yeah
Do you think it was C rank? Lol think u said it enough. And no, pretty sure C Rank plays C rank
no, rank doesn't matter in anarchy. you can match with anyone
I feel personally offended
I would just say, Its skill issues
maybe big swiggy is worse
its not great but I don't think it's worse than undercover
Big swig is hella good on splat zones and nowhere else
dawg why u got a whole three minute Segway about playing ranked that shit is obvious
Im sorry for exposing you, BUT YOU LIED because the dapple dualies nouveau is the worst weapon because it isnt a weapon
The splattershot nova exists too
hey i love dapples (but im cheating on it with nautilus and ballpoint)
Wanna be content friends, I’m just starting out myself 👀 I loved the teaching faze in this video ❤
if you ever have an idea and want to collab, shoot me a DM on twitter, it's in the description!
@@fragzz bet
4:38
I like the content but I swear you have that Minecraft player accent
also this shit is a lie you say C- to S+ when u got to like B- dawg like I know it’s a series but you don’t even let us know that until the very end, not even a PART ONE in the title
Stop over estimating yourself with words and techniques like "tunneling" when you say "omgggggg look at that tunnelingggggg!!!!!!" When it’s literally been a minute into the game, in anarchy you gotta move the objective to win, it’s not turf war, nor a contest of who will have the most kills, you’re not a professional for never touching the objective ( 6:28 oh don’t even make me start on this fucking joke)
holy shit dude, chill. i think 99% of people in S+ going into c rank would go in with overconfidence, and just because im not a "pro" doesnt mean i cant educate people who have less knowledge than me. obviously i am going to point out errors when i see them, im trying to teach people, and objective tunnel is not something hard to spot early in the game. yes you have to move the objective, and yes it isnt nessecarily who gets the most kills wins. its about positioning and using your advantages to go further. trying to push the objective without an advantage will result in failure, or not have enough of an impact to flip the game state. keep in mind when you are playing at lower level, these concepts do not apply as much since people dont entirely know what they are doing. at higher level this is basically necessity.
@@fragzz yeah so why do you complain (or point out Idc) "tunneling" when none of these things applied and when pushing in was the only thing there was left to do
Relax, have some ice cream 🍦🍦
dude its just a splatoon video its not that deep
@@gnarpglarp yea it is because it portraits a personality trait I absolutely despise
I'm guility of the C Rank thing. I sometimes focus too much on it and get myself killed and then my team gets destroyed in the process
