Dynamo is the Tauros of the Splatoon Meta. Amazing and absolutely necessary in the first game...but nerfed to hell in the sequels and can't regain that fame.

[@Skeloperch]

It's more like the Snorlax of Gen 1. Though Snorlax and Tauros were still GOATED in Gen 2, so I guess the most similar fall from grace would be Exeggutor. Went from being the #4 Pokemon, better than even Alakazam, to being mediocre and outright bad by the time Gen 3 rolled around.

[@NimbusAlamaa]

Exeggutor is actually #5 now after so many years, Starmie stole its spot at #4 about half a year back or so. But it is still one of the biggest fall from graces for sure

This video gives me that same feeling towards Octobrush, a weapon that had it’s uses back in Splat 1 and 2, but it’s starting to struggle quite a bit in Splat 3.

[@cousinparty7266]

It’s less of the weapon/kit itself and more of the environment of the game And honestly there were only a couple of s2 one-tricks using the weapon, so it’s nowhere near as similar as dynamo

[@StarrNOM]

I’ve never used octobrush, but I play splat charger which octobrush users love to splat, and I think a lot of it is, big surprise, the maps. In S2 octobrush users love to maneuver behind backliners to splat them, but most maps in this game are incredibly hard to flank on unless you’re already spawn camping the other team. Haggle fish Market is a good example I think - the backliner perch on that map would be great for punishing chargers, splatlings, and sloshers, but because there’s only one way to get into that area, it’s incredibly hard to do so without your entire team pushing into their spawn. I usually get walled by Eliters because their range is so good, so I miss having brush users clearing out the area so I can advance ;w;

[@lightlemur5567]

As someone who plays octobrush for fun in splat 3, I can confirm that the maps definitely hurt the weapon a lot. Octobrush is a weapon that was designed to use flanks and approach opponents from a variety of routes, but those routes don’t exist on a lot of maps. Even on good maps (like flounder), octobrush still struggles cause it’s damage is pretty awful and inconsistent (something it didn’t have in spat 1 thanks to damage up) and it’s a 200p short ranged zipcaster weapon. It isn’t nearly as bad as dynamo, but it’s still bad and also gets outclassed by similar weapons like tri.

[@starlightrai]

Same for carbon. Im a splat 3 starter but I immediately gravitated towards it. I see that people can be good at it like Volty but it feels so underpowered with all the choke points and lack of paint. Maybe it’s because I enjoy turf war but half of the times my losses are from being matched with teammates with less painting weapons. Wish there was some way to get more flanking options or stronger paint reliability. It feels unfair when I felt like I couldn’t even contribute to the game because my weapon just couldn’t get in.

[@babywizard9027]

​@@lightlemur5567Yeah, I used to main Octobrush in Splatoon 2, but it's just so painful in this game. It just feels way too inconsistent and it just can't kill at max range. I ended up switching to Tri Slosher, and eventually I landed on the Splatana Wiper, and it felt perfect. Finally a weapon with consistent damage, and it had the Ultra Stamp from my Kensa Octobrush.

[@meta4240]

The fact that Gold Dynamo was shown in pre-launch trailers AND the model for it being added in a past update, yet it hasn't been given a kit yet, is proof enough that Nintendo legitimately hates the weapon

[@OOFUS4103]

I remember all the way back in splatoon 1 I was obsessed with the dynamo roller Splatoon 2 I still mained gold dynamo, alongside squiffer and inkbrush But now, there’s no such thing as gold dynamo 😢

[@babywizard9027]

Honestly, id argue that if they just ported Splatoon 1 Dynamo Roller to Splatoon 3, it would be mid tier at best. It was super strong in Splatoon 1, but nowadays everything is so much faster and paints better. Even the Dynamo at its absolute peak wouldn't end up being a top tier in this game.

[@JakoBpyroTech]

I played Dynamo recently on Humpback Zones, and it felt NOTHING like it did in S2. It felt like I couldn't contest the zone as well, and the damage hitboxes felt nonexistent when flicking over ledges. They just wouldn't connect, and even when they did, the follow up swings wouldn't. It honestly felt like early S3 Tenta Brella did, where the weapon just did not function. Truly the saddest weapon.

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

I've never even been interested in Dynamo, but I still miss when it was a really good weapon. It played in such a unique way, and that made it really fun to fight it, I had to approach it differently from any other weapon in the game. Also clips from dedicated Dynamo players were absolutely insane and very fun to watch. You guys deserved better than this

[@crystallemming6027]

I take a shot every time Chara mentions the Range Blaster in a video not even a little bit about the Range Blaster and ooouugh my liver

[@Rolagza]

At least Sizzle Season made it a beast in Salmon Run. The reduced ink consumption for normal flicks and the act of rolling means that you can slap it down and actually trample all over and Salmonid that has the temerity to be on the ground and be vulnerable to damage.

[@Octowav]

On the topic of Salmon Run, you didn't mention something really cool about Dynamo with Goldies! (maybe because you might not have used it on goldies yet.) If you roll a Dynamo Roller into a Goldie, it just starts GUSHING out golden eggs like crazy! I experienced this about like 2 or 3 seasons ago so it might have been nerfed to make that impossible, but if it still works, you should see if you could try it sometime. It's honestly one of the funniest things that you can do in Salmon Run.

[@Rolagza]

@@Octowav I honestly forgot about it. I blame the fact that the RNG hates me and I never get the Dynamo on gushers. That trick actually works with all rollers, more or less, it's just that the Dynamo deals a hilarious 400 damage when rolling and as such melts a Goldie. Also works on Cohozuna, sorta. If you wedge yourself between Coho and a wall or ledge with the Dynamo out you'll get pushed into Coho constantly and deal a ridiculous amount of damage. It will most likely splat you, so use at your own discretion.

[@lazuli4635]

Between the state Dynamo is in and the fact Gold Dynamo still isn't in the game despite it being teased in the first trailer, it's just depressing. My copium theory is that the devs are waiting to buff dynamo before dropping the gold kit

[@Totas_funnynumber]

The prophecy foretold the return of the ancient Golden Dynamo Roller. Created by a mythical weaponsmith in the era before true aquatic dominance. Those who wield it are rumored to be immortal. In this prospect, numerous have tried to follow in this weaponsmith's footsteps, all have failed to replicate it. It's time for us Dynamo Roller mains to join together and prove that the ways if old will not be forgotten. I think the kit our gilded "gun" got is pretty neat. Would I prefer Ultrastamp? Absolutely, however, I'm just glad to get something

[@moonhead9282]

you understand..

[@babywizard9027]

I'll happily join the Gold Dynamo Roller cult. Together we will unite our efforts to summon it. The reason why it's taking so long is because this legendary weapon needs to be honed to absolute perfection, which obviously takes time. Our patience will be rewarded soon, and us Dynamo mains will come back even stronger than ever. The world will tremble as we wield the weapon with the earth-shattering force that will crush all of our foes.

No, you're actually correct. They did forget about the Gold Dynamo…but not the way you think at all. Based on what I've really observed, the reason it was Gold Dynamo in the reveal trailer, promo material, and everything is LITERALLY just because it's a mistake lmao. Think about it in this exact question: - Why was it the only alternate kit look shown ANYWHERE in trailers or promo material, and why specifically Dynamo? Most likely the answer is they genuinely forgot that Gold Dynamo was not the original look of the weapon (or a miscommunication of that sort) when doing the promo renders and trailer material. See the tableturf card for regular Dynamo? It has the octoling who wielded the gold one in the trailer and some promo renders. *It was never meant to be shown*

[@christianj5950]

if you look at the dev team's main weapons in the credits, absolutely no one in the core team is a roller main. it explains a lot.

[@henrydikeman2692]

I want a scope to be added to the rollers similar to how scopes revert chargers to the Splatoon 1 Counterpart which aren't able to hold a charge. I like the idea of no matter what putting a scope on anything reverts it to the Splatoon 1 Counterpart but instead to fit the theme they should be the Caps of pens. These caps should disable the horizontal flick in exchange for flinging the hitbox further away.

[@MugenCannon97]

Occasionally, down in here in Turf War, there's a random Dynamo main who, out of nowhere, shreds the match to pieces.

[@shasta_le_bab]

i love playing dynamo and i use it as one of my mains because as a weapon (moreso as a concept) it is just genuinely so fun, and its so sad to see how its just been completely left in the dust in the new game. same thing with my other main, bamboozler, which still has mpu nerfs from splatoon 2

[@Xeroskia]

I like the idea of dynamo's vertical flick being change to be a super wide horizontal slash with a big arc of paint and solid minimum damage. It's hard to compare to something that exists in the game now, but think about a splatling sweeping in like a 120 degree cone fairly quickly in terms of the kind of look and feel it'd be, with the same range as current Dynamo horizontal flick. The speed of the flick will also be improved to about Flingza vertical speed. With this change, the horizontal flick will be made to reach out farther, to about current vertical flick range, and narrowed in wideness to about half the width. It'll have the narrowest horizontal flick of all the rollers probably, somewhat close to Carbon's wideness, but it's wider than all the vertical flicks in terms of damage dealing and would have longer range then all of them as well. This also indirectly buffs the consistency of the paint and damage as the holes in the wave that Dynamo tends to have will be made much smaller with it being narrower and closer together. With these changes, they can switch up the roles of the two flicks so the vertical can be the more combat based used and tied to being in the air and more mobile, while the horizontal flick will be better positioned to be the reliable poking and painting the Dynamo used to be known for. I was a big Dynamo hater in Splatoon 1 simply because it felt so overbearing even though I liked the design of the playstyle, which is funny to admit as a Painbrush main, but no weapon deserves to have its identity stripped away and given to other weapons without something in return. It is quite sad.

[@pokemonfan6962]

-Well if I can give the dynamo a niche it’s salmon run -It’s roll is so powerful it can turn any basic salmon of any size into a pancake, a lifesaver in Glowfly waves, and steamroll Cohozuna -Even still it’s quite ink hungry and not good against something like the Fishstick, it kind of struggles in Griller waves due to the well Griller’s, and when you have to fight something like the Horroboros with this thing it feels miserable due to it being in the air -Even still if the hydra is in the rotation that thing shreds through literally anything with it possibly only weakness in that mode being flyfish and maybe maws -Even still it’s nice to see the weapon that fell from grace have a niche in a mode where every salmon just runs into you

[@shadowscribe]

This is what I was thought when you were started reviewing the weapons. The merits of the weapon's actual functions. Of course even if you streamlined out the kit variants it still would've been a 2-3 more videos to walk through all of them before touching on the actual kits. Which would've been a lot for just slightly more foundation on each kit's goodness.

I'll try to name as many reasons on why Dynamo fell off before the vid premiere. It's slow, ink hungry, the hitbox is inconsistent, it gets outclassed even with good kits, and it can't paint its feet quickly thanks to being slow. Also vertical flick exists.

[@ChunwunB]

The worst offender is that up close you can squid surge parry a flick then proceed to kill the dynamo user If you know how to do this tech the weapon actually cant kill you

[@ThisMan555]

With dynamo being one of my mains I am used to losing matches because the weapon won’t kill at point blank range because of a squid roll or lag. I only main it because it’s fun when it sometimes works.

[@piranha_gaming7154]

One idea I’ve always had for dynamo was that rolling should charge the weapon up in some way. After all it’s called a dynamo. A dynamo (if I’m not mistaken) is something that converts motion energy into electric energy. I have one on my bike wich powers the light on it. It always seemed weird to me that this was never implemented into the weapon. My personal idea would be to have rolling charge up some sort of meter wich would then power up the vertical flick. What changes would that give? For a basic idea just more range and damage but why not use the triple vertical flick from the octo samurai instead? Three super fast flicks with a lot of range and 60-70 damage at the downside of them being on the ground and incapable of going over walls. Add that to the basic buffs it desperately needs and I’d main that thing

[@CeleryX5]

I like this idea. Imagine charging up for a crazy V-flick that a longer range and better one-shot hitbox. That would give enemy players more reason to fear it.

[@viscrelia]

The closest thing to the pure power S1 Dynamo had for me is Stamper, kinda makes me scared for when the leaked heavy Splatana is added

This video has amazing timing. I just returned to splatoon 3 after not playing since splatoon 1 where I had hundreds of hours on dynamo. I came back genuinely excited to play it again and unlock it but now when I play it I just feel useless. Even when I do well on the thing I cant help but feel like I would have been able to do the same thing on V splat roller or Flingza. I have relegated to playing Flingza and being a tenta missles bot until this this thing gets a new kit or at least some buffs

[@shiny2575]

If nintendo gives dynamo a real vertical flick and consistent horizontal inking, i think id have a heart attack before getting to play it

[@emilybee6246]

Veteran Dynamo player here, both splat 1 and now 3. I'd say the best fix would be to remove dynamo's vertical flick outright. The only vertical flicks you will do are unintentional ones, and they grief your would-be kills, especially when squid-surging (which is often unintentional as well). Increasing the range of the horizontal slightly to compensate would be nice, but even without a damage boost just removing the vertical would be a buff for the weapon. Essentially returning dynamo to it's splat 1 days of being an immovable tank with a consistent and desirable one-shot range. It needs its unique identity back.

[@perhapshelp2474]

huh, this made me remember how much I feared Dynamo rollers in splatoon 1 and now I just see a Dynamo on the enemy team and im like oh we're fine. Even though Dynamo was scary back then I would love to see Dynamo be more threatening again :/

[@aSh-pi1in]

I think a good buff would be if Intensify Action Boosted the Speed of the Roller Flicks, but that's an Intensify Action buff and it buffs the entire class of rollers, and maybe a damage Buff cloud help it since Big Swig took the Painting job permanently, something like making its minimum from the horizontal go from 40 to 50, while the Vertical go from 40 to 60

[@4xzx4]

Welcome to Rollers. I really hope the roller class gets massive buffs soon.

[@SirefromandtoNEO]

Hmmm... Remember the first Splatoon direct, when they introduced dynamo as a weapon, which can deflect enemy fire with its flicks? Wondering what would happen, if dynamo got this ability back. I mean, this would be a pretty big change and would potentially make the vertical flick even more obsolete, but it certainly would be interesting and a cool high risk/high reward feature. What do you think?

it would be really cool if instead of the vertical flick they gave it something unique to it in particular, like how slosher has that little tail of chip damage if you turn while using it. giving it a new versatile tool instead of what it has that it can use creatively would do it a lot of good I think

I remember in Splatoon 1 how threatening Dynamo rollers were and it was often difficult to approach them. Still somewhat threatening in Splatoon 2.

[@RampageArby]

I don’t know if this will be covered in the video, but Dynamo was outclassed in 3 from launch. Its kit tried to make a support weapon that had tacticooler as a special, yet if people wanted to play a support/tacticooler weapon, there was N-Zap ‘85. A Shooter that had a lethal bomb, great mobility, and it could get tacticooler quickly. It also doesn’t help that Dynamo was and (unfortunately) still is a bad main weapon that has serious weaknesses.

[@SKYCRAFTER2003]

I used to use the dynamo. Then I switched to the hydra once it started getting nerfed in splatoon 2. In splatoon 3 I tried the dynamo again. It’s not better at all, but I found that a fair amount of players didn’t know how to counter it. At least the tacticooler helps with movement and makes it more useable.

[@gavinquijano7488]

I think Dynamo should have a vertical flick that paints in a similar manner to the explosher. Where there's a big blob at the end except a bit smaller. A direct may kill but an indirect may do like 70 damage. It'd give the dynamo a poking tool that's threatening and can paint rather well. It's way slower than the explosher and wouldn't match the paint control, so I think they wouldn't really occupy the same niche.

[@grassowl]

It would be cool if they added the ability for rollers to buffer a horizontal flick out of squid surge by pressing ZR before you release B on the surge. I think it might take a little getting used to but would end up feeling really good and natural. If you want to cancel the charge and attack, you can just let go of ZL

Considering that Flingza with nearly identical vert to Dynamo's horizontal doesn't use squid rolls either, I don't think that will help Dynamo much. It would make Flingza a lot better but Dong will remain locked out of those options, similar to splatlings.

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

Been following Big Foot on Twitter and seen some shtick. When talking about the vertical, I thought you were going to show the clip of him chasing someone down, hitting them with 4 verticals and they *still* got away. 🤣

[@KayFiOS]

At least Dynamo shines in Salmon Run.

[@Camphreneas]

Once they release the gold dynamo kit (and hopefully remember it this time, as well as its vanilla variant), I hope they make dynamo even more threatening to go up against, and potentially have it back in its spot as it once had in Splatoon 1. I once encountered a comp that had TWO dynamos go up against me at some point, and neither of them were able to take me down, but rather the opposite happened, and I took them down instead (with a short ranged weapon) without breaking a sweat, and this is in Splat 3 in Sizzle Season. Considering how most chargers, and short ranged, fast killing, weapons dominate most maps in the game, as well as Splatoon 3 being fast-paced in general, I really hope that the devs will eventually come up with something good for the dynamo to match up with the game’s pacing, as well as be able to be a threat to chargers, weapons that fight close to it, and also do something about its abysmal painting capabilities, and have it return to where it once was before without over-tuning it.

it got so bad that with my group, if i play dynamo, my main, everygame turns into a 3v4, im effectively not in the game if the other team has any coordination, what makes this worse and so sad, is that my playstyle isnt complimented by the other classes (shooter/snipe/brush, etc.)or sub-classes (other roller types), i stopped playing the game much since it now feels like i play classes that let me play because i have to and not because i want to run the class

[@cetadel6597]

I swear, either the Dynamo player is above you at all times, or they hit you full on in the face and you shrug it off. There is no in-between.

[@patatochip4241]

I have a kit idea that I think you help dynamo, trizoaka and auto bomb. Auto bomb for its low ink consumption plus it’s good at applying pressure to opponents. Trizoaka for the range to take out chargers and splatlings it also has good close range potential.

[@SubSpaceKing]

don't worry Chara, I'm sure this will be fixed once we get the Gold dynamo roller... if it ever happens

[@shiny2575]

Been a full time dynamo main since the start of splat 2 (didnt have splat 1) and im kinda glad i didnt get acquainted with it in the first game, i think id just be too disapointed to ever play it again

[@loadingname4947]

Please Nintendo, give the dynamo its booyah bomb back, it doesn't deserve what is has

[@Miketendo26]

God, yeah as a Dynamo main since Splatoon 1 this video just speaks every problem I have with the weapon in this game and how the game is just so much faster pace You really get the sense that the devs just forgot Dynamo is in this game, I would love for it be buffed and can hold it's own in this game as it's my favourite weapon by far and I still get enjoyment playing both in casual and anarchy, but it is so out classed by like nearly every weapon in this game XD

[@ZtotheMills]

Dynamo in name and design, is the weapon that should instill fear in the players. Slow and Bulky, but a terror in the right hands. You want that moment where you see the opposing team, one player with a dynamo, and you instantly have that sense of DREAD.... as you wonder if this is somebody just playing around with the big fun swingy stick...... or somebody who is about to bring absolute ruin to the battlefield.

[@Splatkitty]

it's been a while since i watched your content, it's not you, it's me. but im doing better now. & being a Kensa Dynamo main in Splatoon 2 & yes, i hope for Gold Dynamo soon. when i got the pop up of this video after this match, i knew i was up for something. but hey, the video is great, but i feel like the Dynamo is still a good weapon, takes some time to get used to though for now. though im not sure if Nintendo will remember this weapon anymore :|

[@kirbykraftgames]

IDK how complicated it would be for the Devs, but what if Dynamo just didn’t have a Vertical flick? Make it unique in that fact, or just make it so it’s just a bit faster on its windup speed (either by means of Cooler’s Speed buff or a buff to the weapon itself)

[@roobie_not_ruby]

As someone who enjoyed dynamo in splatoon one, seeing it in the state it is in now is just sad to see. It was such a unique concept of having a really slow melee weapon that was really strong and had range but now it’s just a melee weapon that isn’t threatening at all. One of the reasons I heavily enjoyed Big Swig (aside from the kit) and painbrush was because they were a glimmer into the light of what dynamo should feel like. I really hope that Nintendo gives this thing the buffs and kits it deserves because it’s such a fun and unique weapon that is just outclassed and overshadowed now.

[@mrgumbwit5307]

Dynamo Roller is one if those weapons where if you use it, you can van either have the best match you'll ever do, or the worst match you'll ever see.

[@zefer8831]

Every time you show Splatoon 1 footage Chara I get sad at how good the stages looked back then

[@shieldofwind7241]

I feel like something to make Dynamo unique again is if it simply just... Didn't have a vertical flick. Like, it makes sense because its the heaviest roller, so it being locked to the horizontal would feel like it gives some form of identity. And on top of that, increase its paint output from the horizontal just a tad so that its damage isn't as bad. That or just give it a small damage buff. I feel like that fixes where the Dynamo is now. Sure, it can't combat snipers now, but I feel like it offers a different way to play a roller with these changes, a more aggressive, maybe even more steathy way to play. Combat or kill up close, paint your turf, chip for your team, and with Ninja Squid, I feel like strategic splating with the Dynamo out of every roller would be incredibly satisfying. Ypu can argue that you can just do that with every roller but hey, these changes give the Dyanmo some kind of niche at least. The maps are also a bit of a detriment to the Dynamo as it just does not mesh well with hallways rather than multiple walls but hey, the devs seem to be starting to understand that more ledges are better so, theres some hope in that regard. Im hoping they make some changes. The Gold Dynamo, Dynamo in general, was my baby back in Splatoon 1 and to see it just be really unenjoyable to play nowadays is really unfortunate. Really hoping things change before the Gold comes back.

[@madamstasis]

this makes me sad as someone who sometimes plays dynamo for fun, i really wish theyd patch it up more

[@ESCStroopwafel]

I wonder how much the splat bomb and super chump favor the gold dynamo roller now that it's out there. I at least find that kit much more useful on it than a sprinkler and tacticooler

[@FuzzyMH]

Back when I played Splatoon 1, I’d see my life flash before my eyes as I see a Dynamo Roller wind up its flick. Now I just kinda shrug it off and go about my business, painting turf, focusing on objective, Splatling the Dynamo… etc. At least it’s good in Salmon Run.

[@autismandgaming4532]

It's honestly rather insulting that Gold Dynamo is being used in promotional material despite not even being in the game

[@CBH23]

Hi chara what is your opinion on the n zap 89/85 I would really like to know which one is better from your incredible insight

[@Chaos_Fantasmic]

People could be born, start school, graduate high school with all As, graduate collage with 4 PhDs, publish 2 books, start a family, have 1 kid, have another kid, get divorced, get married, have one more kid, make a documentary, get a disease, then die, have a funeral, and this thing would be mid vertical flick
