Inside the Mind of Splatoon 3 Crab Tank Users

[@Alphastar716]

What would you want me to do an Inside the Mind on next (other than Splatanas ik ik, that one is coming next)! Let me know right here in the comments! 😉

[@ibelieveinomorsupremacy2176]

Inside the mind of reef-luxes

[@KrypticEditz]

Inside the Mind of Splattershot Nova for next season 😁

[@soupysiah3456]

Can you do the discount killer whale pls?

[@P3r5h0]

Inside mind of Aero spray users please!

[@glitchedgamerz]

The Shark ability one

[@DriverNeku]

Seeing a crab menacingly approach your clueless team is like the meteor advancing to the unaware dinosaurs, mass destruction. Unless someone can get behind it then it's just sort of an almighty God with one of the most L weaknesses.

[@afroling2096]

Yeah it’s utter pain if no one can get behind them unless you have zip caster on your team.

[@Agent-8]

Crab tank : RUN Zipcaster: Spider-Man Tactacooler: drinking time Tri zookeeper : BOOM BOOM BOOM

[@TopazTiger975]

Another thing to note about the crab tank is that if a bomb is thrown behind you while you're firing it'll explode instantly, likely killing you. I'm totally not speaking from experience... Awesome video Alpha! 🐯

[@diputsru1182]

not speaking from experience. i totally am

[@redswet2789]

I think Wave Breaker is a really interesting special! I'd love to see Alpha cover that one.

[@MeloniestNeon]

Seconded! Besides the k r a e b the wave breaker is my favorite splat3 special!

[@xman3035]

Agreeed

[@Alphastar716]

That one will be a very interesting one to dive into 👀

[@redswet2789]

Why yes, yes it would...

[@leochaichana7649]

Most important, it is best against cohozuna Crab tank : Said hello to my little friend ! Cohozuna : oh shimp.

[@Alphastar716]

I can't even imagine how much health the crab tank shreds from that thing haha

[@Strawb-]

you know.. some things as a hydra user barely scare me, BUT THAT THING, **points at the crab doing the rave** (which can out-range me) *THAT SCARES ME*

[@afroling2096]

As a splatling main. I honestly think the crab tank overshadows every splatting outside of hydra and mabye ballpoint. Be up crab tank just dose a heavy splatlings job better in my opinion.

[@fernavliz1]

Maybe the crab tank was designed to counter the hydra directly. Also, hi :).

[@IvanDaOneAndOnly6492]

1:37 As a Splattershot Pro main, it's true. I got a quad doing that once

[@gregheffley5745]

I was really surprised that there were no second variants released with launch. Now Splatoon 3 has been out for almost 3 months and we still don't have them. But we know they'll come eventually, because there is a Gold Dynamo Roller in the trailer. And when we do get them, I'd give the Custom E-Liter Squid Beakon and Crab Tank.

[@chaotic_44]

I like being able to go from being a short ranged splash to bullying backliners, easily my favourite special in the game. (Also inside the mind of Tacticooler users could be pretty fun)

[@Alphastar716]

They did the backliners in this game so wrong giving specials like this to the splash-o-matic and splat dualies. Now they're not safe at any range lol.

[@chaotic_44]

@@Alphastar716 ok but the backliners also have mincemeat and mahi where they can just sit in one spot and control half the map (oh and soon they'll have brinewater springs in the next season oh no)

[@My2t1cl3g3nd]

"This is just would of been made if red lobster got a chunk of that US 800 billion defense budget." The best description I have ever heard

[@grubbyguy8636]

The crab has a lot of variety and takes some practice to master, great video

[@Alphastar716]

Once you do master it, you can really be deadly on the battlefield x)

[@keiyakins]

The only thing in my mind when I pop a crab tank is Crab Rave.

[@tylermitts5279]

I was so happy to be in your video while I was playing in the game I was videoing it because I saw I was going against you and got bullied. Love your content keep making more videos

[@Alphastar716]

Glad you enjoyed and sorry if I you were one of the peeps I rolled over with the crab tank LOL!

[@tylermitts5279]

You were😂

[@tylermitts5279]

I was the T-money kid but I got better so I don’t get rolled on next time lol

[@ainikyu551]

Get in the crab tank, Shinji.

[@ItsOreo27]

Maybe Inside the Mind of the Zipcaster? I feel like it would be interesting. It reminds me of Spider-Man lol. Also, the Crab Tank is a good special. I just hate dying from it out if the blue- Great video, Alpha!

[@ItsOreo27]

@Christmascliffe I KNEW IT :0

[@Alphastar716]

Zipcaster is definitely at the top of my list for Inside the Mind. If you guys are up for it, I'd be happy to do it! 👀

@@Alphastar716 Would be fun to watch!👀

[@kmbasketball]

I don't think people realize how insane crab paint is. Thank you for the Thanksgiving present. 🦃🦀

[@tetra_kirby5691]

Well, it does have solid paint, but specials like Storm that allow your main to paint as well have better paint. For example, an Explo with Storm up can solo contest the zone al long as the storm is on zone.

[@Alphastar716]

Oh I do, I outpainted 2 players while trying to capture a zone in ranked lol

[@asharpiesniffer7553]

Now THIS is what I subscribed for (love your vids alpha!)

[@Flynnlock]

I can just imagine the heavy lobster theme from Kirby Superstar Ultra being blasted in the background as everyone is using crab tanks in turf war right now

[@umichisan]

It's honestly funny to see enemies for their lives when the first shot of a Crab Tank reaches them. Then fail because the thing already started to shoot at a rapid speed. 💀

[@Alphastar716]

They still get an A for effort for trying to run away haha

[@BunnyShroomi]

Crab is probably my favorite special in this game even if it’s on none of the main weapons I use- Like the design is so cute. 😭

[@BluVapour]

Inside the mind of a crab user: YES FIRERATE GOOD! HYDRA SPLATLING ON SPLASH! I SPLAT THE BACKLINE WEAPON NOW!

[@Alphastar716]

Don't forget the ability to roll around into a ball and being nearly industructible ;)

[@EonUniverse0]

Oh Alpha Don't forget THAT a Dynamo Counters The Crab Tank Aswell

[@Alphastar716]

True, at least if you're in range x)

[@gamergurl2270]

Watching Alphastar716 feels like I’m peeking into an insane person’s mind while they play Splatoon.

[@kylinaxx7544]

This felt painful to watch and good at the same time. It was painful cause yesterday a crab pinched my foot and hurt my toes

[@davidtull452]

So happy inside the mind is back

2:08 Desperation. That would be desperation.

Woo hoo. I love the crab tank a lot and you got most of this pretty right

hit the crank from the back, got it.

Wow this is one of the specials in the game, though as a carbon roller… people in turf war REALLY don’t know how to use it.

[@GoldenVictini22]

So because of how were not just doing splatana and doing specials, are we not getting second inside the minds of the returning classes?

[@Alphastar716]

I wanna wait a little longer until I make ITMs on old classes, at least until they get some new additions that are worth talking about.

[@brintdog]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE!

[@Alphastar716]

Hope you enjoyed!

[@brintdog]

You bet i did! >:J

[@windowpanememberrrr]

genuinely think that crab tanks most deserved nerf would be reducing its vertical flexibility. it physically does not look able to aim down or up more than 30 degrees, yet it has the same range of motion as a normal player. i think hiding below a tank would at least introduce a small level of counterplay that would make the special at least a little more balanced

[@Alphastar716]

Yeah that'd be reasonable for it! So that way in addition to getting behind it you can try and stay above it or below it.

[@pozilixyt7300]

I wanna see one about tacticooler could be really funny 😂

[@afroling2096]

I honestly think that crab tank is one of the most powerful specials in the game.

[@tetra_kirby5691]

It legitimately is in pro play. A major tourney's finals had six crabs in the game. Two splashes and one dualies on each team, with Flingza as the the last slot for missiles, the second best special that also counters crab.

[@afroling2096]

@@tetra_kirby5691 yeah I saw some game play of it. I hope they balance things out so we see more weapon and special weapon verity in competitive. But alas we’ll just have to wait and see. Honestly I think crab tank is cool special but I do think it makes splatlings ( because let’s be honest it’s a better splatlings actually has a strong role) pretty irrelevant and it’s not the funniest special to be on the receiving side considering most of its counters are very specific.

[@Alphastar716]

I wouldn't be surprised, it's one of the most versatile specials that can be used in many situtations

Happy thanksgiving And if you’re watching within 10 minutes of the upload what are you doing eat with yo family already

[@The_Gamer1567]

[@bittybears5287]

My whole Crab Tank game changed once I discovered you can quick turn by balling up and turning the camera behind you, once you release the ZL button, you'll automatically face where you turned the camera, so if someone gets behind you, use the Crab Switch(yes I'm calling it that) and give them a scare. 😉 Edit: Now I'm going to make it my goal for today to crush at least 2 people with Crab Tank, thank you, AlphaStar. 😈
