The HISTORY of THE MINI SPLATLING: Is It Really Kit Carried? (Splatoon)

[@jacobcats_spl]

before you comment, yes i messed up with s3 zimi. looking back on it, i wrote that section really poorly and failed to mention the good parts about it extensively enough. i am aware of it’s strengths, and i am aware that it is a pretty good bubble weapon, but that section exaggerated its weaknesses wayy too hard, which is my fault. however, i will stand by jr and h3-d being better. jr has a lethal bomb and higher special output and h3-d works really well with it’s kit, whereas zimi fights well. if fighting well is the only merit it has over other bubble weapons, that’s worth mentioning at least a little bit. i do believe those weapons are better, but i didnt give zimi enough credit, and i apologize for that. i will try not to do that again in the future, and instead be more clear and direct with what im saying. thanks for reading.

Hi

[@darklitexd]

Wake up babe, new jacobcats video dropped

[@bombpwr]

As someone who mains mini this video is great. Feel like the weapon’s underutilized right now even though both of its kits are great and the weapon is an amazing support/slayer weapon if you know how to play well.

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

The problem is that stamp is undertuned and bubbler has good stats but is in a meta specifically designed to counter stronger HP specials than it

[@beamed7770]

i feel like mini would get attention if they buffed its shot damage to 34 per shot, making it a 3 shot. idk if this would be overbuffing but it's already outclassed by most shooters AND most splatlings, its competing for both and getting the worst of both worlds.

[@beamed7770]

and a big bubbler, stamp, and toxic mist buff would help both kits greatly. it's a shame mini splatlings went from being known for how good their kits were to having pretty bad kits in splatoon 3

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

​@@beamed7770the one thing is that a stamp buff would likely not make vmini show up more in comp, because it's basically hard outclassed by vwiper. depending on the buff, I could see zimi showing up more as it's one of the better bubble weapons. the one thing to worry about is that if instead of a buff, it's a full meta shift away from dps against hp specials, h3 d may become the preferred bubble weapon as wall plus bubble could be a bit broken in a different meta

[@beamed7770]

@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 yeah that's why i think a 34 per dmg shot would improve the weapon the most over any other change, maybe a slight range buff too

[@Tom-vx7qh]

Your polls leading up to this got me thinking, it would be cool to see the history of the L-3 Nozzlenose. From its run in S1 as one of the best Kraken weapons, to it's brief stint as the best Turf War weapon in S2, to its rise as one of the best inkjet weapons, to its unfortunate fall to mediocrity after the removal of MPU in Splatoon 3. I think the L-3 Nozzlenose has a quite interesting history for itself.

[@Bebrop]

It's honestly wild that we have a weapon that looks insane on paper, but it's status in the meta is largely defined by it's kit. We have other mains that do well despite their kit,just look at tetras, but Mini just doesn't seem to quite be there. I hope we see another great kit on it, that fizzy/storm is a great idea, though I wonder if there well be something better by the time we start to see third kits roll out.

[@imapera]

on splatoon 1, i remember activating bubbler, killing an enemy and having the special charged again before the same enemy reached me again... it charged the gauge so ridiculously fast...

[@glitchingeclipse9850]

Honestly Mini splatling is my absolute favorite weapon to use in splatoon 3, I'm loving Zink mini's kit rn as an aggressive support option, and I hope mini sees more usage in the future! As for its next kit, personally I hope for Torpedo/Fizzy Bomb + Super Chump for it. Torpedo and Fizzy allow for lots of comboing potential for Mini splatling, Mini being able to combo with torpedo's outer area that deals 12 damage and being able to cause a distraction while fizzy has better paint and better mobility and being able to force people out of long ranges. Super Chump, while not one of the stronger special right now, is a lot healthier of a special and has been shown to be given to weapons that had tenta missiles for all the weapons that got it, Nzap, Clash and dualie squelchers all had missiles in splatoon 2 and got super chump on their second kits, so I think it's likely that Mini will see Super Chump for its third kit. Mini is able to use the special both supportively and selfishly, sending in distractions and body blocks that can also combo with damage with the new buff it received in Sizzle Season.

[@AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

My friend hates splatlings for the same reason I love them. Which is funny because he plays chargers! But I was initially turned off from them myself until I played the mini in a salmon run rotation. The mini really eased me into the class and I started to pick it up in other modes. Now I love splatlings!

[@LongDeadArtist]

Same story. Hydra my beloved!!!

[@elias0240]

⁠​⁠@@LongDeadArtistDang we Hydras are the same huh. Started playing the Mini-Splating because of its short charge time and I like the Ultra-Stamp, now I pretty much just play Hydra-Splatling!

[@tpdagamer2572]

Thank you so much for covering mini splatling! It's such a fun weapon and I love it so much in splatoon 3. Also paired with my dream kit of burst bomb/ultra stamp (Yes, my favourite special is ultra stamp), it makes the game way more fun than I could have originally imagined.

[@jaredparks4713]

I feel like both of Mini's kits in 3 are good on paper, they just suffer from having weak pieces. In particular, Zimi could be decently strong if Toxic Mist was better (damage over time like Ink Storm, maybe?) and it had 190p instead of 200p.

[@ShabbyCA]

Amazing stuffs as always :). It really is funny how good some of its kits were and how abysmal its others were.

[@halloweenpeachy]

The Mini Splatling is my favorite weapon of all time. So I'm glad to see a history video on it so early from you jacob.

[@sewoh100]

Excuse me, but as a person whos been playing mini since Splatoon 1, Zimi is the far superior kit to vMini in Splatoon 3. Toxic Mist synergizes with Big Bubbler extremely well, allowing you to push in to set up bubble but also allowing you to defend it with a second mist, and because Mini paints so well and has really good mobility, you create an insane combination that allows for extremely good map control. Toxic Mist also allows Zimi to play wayyyy more aggressively. I'd argue that Zimi is more of a slayer than a support kit. Splatoon 3's dogshit map design also means that Toxic Mist is much better in 3 than it was in Splatoon 2, much in the same way Point Sensor is better in 3. Now that Bubble has been buffed this season, and mini's ability to charge its special stupidly quick, Zimi is probably the best Big Bubble weapon in the current meta.

[@sewoh100]

also: jr is pretty good but its main weapon range is short so its gona get bubble about as often as zimi, jr is also not as good of a main weapon compared to zimi but makes up for it with it's ink efficiency and bomb spam. Squiffer outmatches Zimi 1 on 1 in most situations but zimi has better over kit synergy, can get bubble faster, and can handle itself better in most situations, also double mist combo is better than double point sensor. H3D seems interesting, and I think it fills a different role than zimi and i like how you can use wall to set up bubble better, but it also cant use 2 walls at the same time with bubble like zimi can with mist and one wall doesn't protect bubble as good as double mist.

[@sewoh100]

@jacobcats sorry if I came off as rude, I should say that my rant is just my opinions and it's ok if you disagree! I'm definitely biased toward my favorite weapon.

[@jacobcats_spl]

@@sewoh100 nah im not offended at all! i messed up in the video and wrote it really poorly, and it’s completely understandable to want to voice your opinion and why i did it wrong. any input is greatly appreciated

[@hallwaerd]

Ink Storm’s recent buff to healing while in kid form would give it amazing synergy with the Mini Splatling and I agree it would be a awesome special for it. Fizzy would also be great for mobility and poking, but I think Torpedo and even Angle Shooter would also be great picks. Torpedo can obviously function similar to Burst Bomb, but so does Angle Shooter, with quick paint and quick damage. Furthermore, Angle Shooter works more similarly to Disruptor than Toxic Mist does, with how it can mark and trap opponents. And finally, it is absurdly cheap, allowing Mini multiple full charges after using one. I think Angle Shooter and Ink Storm would be my dream Mini Splatling kit.

[@Gettway]

As a one trick mini in s1 competitive, and playing it now and then in the 2 and 3, this video was great to watch ! It's nice to see a history video on my fav weapon of the game being done so well ! Thanks for retracing it :> (The fact that bp runs faster while holding charge than mini still infuriates me tbh)

[@wilsmif]

[@agent3swife]

this is like a splatoon history channel i love it

[@Zeldrake]

[Splat 3] I had a really fun time with the Mini Splatling in random queues because it's very versatile. You can go aggro with the fast charge, or you can hang back and use your long range to be a budget Heavy. I do agree that the Zink Mini _really_ suffers from not having any damage on sub or special. Big Bubbler is still really fun - you outrange several shooters, and those that outrange you (chargers, splatlings) you can just bubble up & forget about them for a bit. But it lacks any other damage that isn't its main weapon and that can really pidgeonhole you: if you get into a tough spot, or someone's out of range on a ledge, then you just can't _do_ anything about them.

I’ve been getting into the mini recently and it’s been a fun time overall. I’m happy you decided to make a video on it rn

[@eethyl_1827]

Former competitive mini player here. This was a nice watch, glad to see mini getting some attention. One thing I want to put into perspective though is how difficult it actually is to use mini, cause it's a deceptively difficult weapon to play, and it only gets harder the better your opponents get. So, mini has a really good matchup spread right? Well, none of it matters if you can't hit your shots at max range with mini, and it is hard as balls to hit max shots at range with mini. This is thanks to mini's slow bullet velocity. For reference, try directing the fastest moving target in the weapon testing range with rapid pro from 2¾ lines away and thats how far mini has to place it's shots in accordance to enemy movement. Imagine having to do that against a sporatically moving target while you're also sporatically running around at mach 3 and if you don't hit 4 shots within a 1.4 second time frame, you get rushed for free while you try to charge up again. It's difficult and it really puts into perspective why the good mini kits worked as well as they did. Disruptor slows the opponent making them easier to hit and pretty much stops them from rushing you and even if they get past that, you have an instant activation invincibility shield. Burst bomb gives you a life line incase you don't hit all 4 shots on a target before your charge ends, and missiles give you a good passive special to use in conjunction with it's supporting painting playstyle among other things that work well with mini.

[@jacobcats_spl]

i did say multiple times throughout the video that mini is a difficult weapon to play, thats a large reason for why other weapons were chosen over it also, good MU spread means good MU spread. even if it’s hard, when played properly this thing loses to like 2 weapons ever. difficulty of playing the weapon is mostly irrelevant to MU talk

[@SpinnyMinii]

30:30 I have to defend my weapon as a Splatling player! Splattershot Jr doesn't outclass the zimi and I can explain it. 1. Zimi is better with big bubbler! Pro Chara explained that every weapon with the big bubbler can either fight very well (Squiffer, Blaster) OR paint pretty well (Splattershot Jr), but the Zimi is the only one to do both which is perfect for a weapon with bubble. That's also why I think that the Zimi gets more value out of the bubble than the Jr because it can fight well and its range helps it a lot to control more space! A Splattershot Jr in a bubble can be avoid very easily because its range is very small. Many weapon that easily outrange it can just stay away from its range and then destroy the bubble. 2. The main weapon is better. It is much more accurate which helps a lot in fights, it really has a great charge time for the firing duration it has and the range is great! Squid School explained that in his 2.0.1 tier list. The Jr is a good painting weapon but it is still a spray shooter with bad accuracy. I know that you explained that the Jr has a better sub weapon and I agree with it but I think that a better main weapon that is better with the special is much more important than a better sub. I also think that the Jr is more beginner-friendly and the Zimi is really hard to play well. Overall that's a great video and I totally agree with what you said about the Splatoon 1 minis since I played those too (especially the refurbished mini)

[@WasabiTheInkling]

Honestly, zink mini of splatoon 3 has worked for me very well on tricolors on Splatfests and just in general a good support for me :D

[@Sweetie.21]

And here I was thinking the Mini and Zimi would be easy starter Splatlings because they felt right by the look of their kits (mainly their subs, I’m terrible with Stamper for now, and never tried Big Bubbler before). I guess I’ll start with the Edit first, since that’s the only other Splatling I chose that I know I have a chance to be good with. I’ll see how it goes, I still got to try out a few weapon classes, as well as getting my favorite weapons to 4 stars so they won’t get lost in my weapon list. I seriously wish Nintendo added an option to favorite as many weapons as you want and put those in a separate category, have them all be displayed first, or even better, have both options or a setting to choose what you want (favorite category, displayed first in list, or both). That way I can easily find my favorite weapons, because I’m a multi-main and also very forgetful, so since I’m maining 10+ weapons I’m bound to forget a few.

Fellow blaster player! Hello! I don’t think aged too well, I mean, big bubbler now tanks most top specials and has proven to be quite difficult to approach with multiple weapons.

[@grifleep4916]

So sad my favourite kit from 2 got broken up. Toxic mist Ultra stamp was the only reason I picked it up and now stuck with either in 3

[@jasonso2056]

vMini was my go-to Splatling in Splatoon 2, mostly due to its Burst/Missiles kit and me having a more aggressive play style and not being patient enough to wait for the other Splatlings to charge up. I dropped it during the beginning of Splatoon 3 because Ultra Stamp was just terrible on launch, switching to Nautilus as that is a Splatling that could also play somewhat aggressively thanks to its charge hold mechanic. Now that Ultra Stamp is noticeably better than at launch thanks to a myriad of buffs and bug fixes, I might just give Mini another chance...

[@sonicrunn3r895]

It is unfortunate the state of Mini in Splatoon 3, but I feel like eventually this thing can honestly rise to be strong. Utility subs always have more chances of buffs randomly, so Zimi may someday be decent, and VMini with more Ultra Stamp buffs that help all weapons (like pls give it front protection) may honestly give a lot more of them spots in the meta as an actual way in through enemy lines, rather than just “wiper can use it and not worry too hard if it dies through the front”. The current state of mini may be unfortunate, but I strongly think this thing will have a 3rd meta spotlight someday. We'll have to wait and see though

The Big Bubbler buffs last patch definitely helped, but I really want to see something done with toxic mist because it just feels like a waste most of the time. The supportive playstyle of the weapon is still extremely fun regardless so I'm sticking with it :p

Lmao I didn’t even know that refurbished mini ever existed because it just sat in the shadow of zimi

[@crazfamily6931]

This might get lost, but I'm gonna say something regarding gear as a mini main in s3 While its important, I personally think you don't need that much run speed. Mini mostly needs 1 main and 1 sub rather than 2. It's part of that advantage that the weapon is nimble and fast. I personally would swap that 2nd area for swim speed instead or comeback (depends on the kit)

[@jakotens]

please nintendo give mini wave breaker in its next kit, that's all i ask. the synergy mini as a main weapon has with wave sounds so fun. between scouting locations and getting extra chip, it could use the wave breaker to hide behind between charges. it also just fits mini's aggro-support playstyle so well. so right now my hope for a 3rd mini kit is torpedo wave. i just love this thing and i'd hate to see it be stuck with nothing but mediocre kits for the whole game.

[@aronspiker72]

(edit: just to be clear I wrote this without expecting anyone to reply to this and mainly wanted to provide my perspective as well as having this comment on hand in case I wanted to put these thoughts into another reply of a different video or something, so people can ignore this comment if they want as it wasn't intended to be interacted with -ps sry if this sounded offensive, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I just couldn't think of a better way to write this) Many top players say that Zimi would be the best bubble weapon currently released if bubble was actually good (i.e they release maps with actual flanks like Reef so it doesn't get shredded by all 4 players shooting it at once and can instead divide the opponent's attention with a player shooting behind a giant shield) because it can do a mix of both supporting & fighting with the bubble while other weapons besides roller can only do 1 or the other, & H-3 is at the end of the day just a really bad main weapon in S3 and is honestly probably harder to play than Mini, plus Mini would be able to get into those flanks more easily than H-3, while Jr is just considered to be too weak at fighting even with a bomb that you lose too much dps and/or range in your comp.

2nd favorite weapon after hydra ,just glad they both had fun kits this time

[@rubberchickensfoot8912]

something of note about mini is its extremely slow bullets. all splatlings except for naut take 8 frames for shots to reach max range, which is pretty slow, there are short range shooters with faster shots than a hydra. because mini has such short range for a splatling, its shots move very slow as well, the only weapon with slower shots is ballpoint short range mode (at least between dualies shooters and splatlings) this while an unfortunate downside adds a lot of potential for mechanical improvement, if you can master shot leading you will find you have more range than you thought.

As bad as the Zink mini splatling set may be, i have to admit it's so much fun to use. For damage you have to rely only on the main weapon, but it's so strong that it doesn't matter. I also prefer this set because i don't like using the vanilla mini splatling special, i feel like it puts you in a bad position and is too risky to use. Again toxic mist is bad because it uses a lot of ink but big bubbler gives me a (false) sense of security and i like it.

While the video is good, I dont quite agree with the use of "outclassed" with zimi, since zimi still has some strengths over the 3 weapons mentioned like better fighting power over jr or better mobility over h3. I can see where you were going with mentioning it, but it didnt quite feel like that was the right word to use. Similar thing with wiper vs mini, as that comparison could be made with any stamp weapon. L3D prolly couldve been briefly brought up since its a shooter with the same kit that it works a bit better on even with the 200p stamp. Again i see the idea but it just doesnt feel like "outclassed" fits in this context

I loved the Zimi in Splatoon 1 and was kinda looking forward to S3 Zimi since it was call back unfortunately toxic mist is a downgrade of disruptor in every way and as you said bubble gets destroyed by a lot of specials and you can’t chase them as you did in Splatoon 1 since your bubble is stuck to 1 location.
