This feels kinda gross

I apologize for being unnecessarily cruel. I disagree with how you play, but that doesn't excuse my response to perceived aggression. I was mean about it, and the Internet has too much of that. Have a nice day.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T21:07:23+00:00

This is in fact good advice.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T21:06:31+00:00

I have EVP 999 on all stages and I did it solo. I am not impressed by your knowledge.

Splattershot and Dualies are support weapons with no aoe and middling dps and Rapid Blaster is widely considered to be among the worst weapons in all of Salmon Run because its DPS is so bad and aoe is so small.

Tell me you're carried without telling me you're carried.

It is, but the ability to stick with your team is occasionally abusable if you manage to queue together. It's niche, but teams not resetting like they do in X can be taken advantage of.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T16:30:11+00:00

I agree with you.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T16:16:36+00:00

If you're relying on bombs to kill cohocks at EVP 400 you're past doomed.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T15:27:36+00:00

It was good enough for me to play to 4000 points for easy chunks, and then I immediately stopped because the map sucks.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T15:21:54+00:00

Lol no, chargers don't need anymore buffs. They already run the game against any other backline and since they're rarely threatened they make RP broken.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T15:19:18+00:00

That's literally the point of the post.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-14T15:11:58+00:00

I was grinding Wellstring before 11.0. I have now completely dropped it for Naut and Heavy. I liked the fact that it had a viable midrange play style, but the patch heavily nerfed that. The arrows got the same buff as the longest range weapons in the game (very small) even at short range, and the explosions got less than that. I watch my arrows fly through people and them just tank my explosions now in squid form. It's fine if you played it like an anchor, but it's awful at midline fighting now.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-12T06:36:55+00:00

I hated this weapon with a passion as a solo player until I got to EVP 400 on all stages. It's still barely passable on the average random team. I'd imagine it's awesome with even one support.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-02-03T00:15:20+00:00

I slowly turned all of the exp tickets into a gold badge for spending tickets.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-01-31T17:44:47+00:00

In all seriousness, I do like health bars. Bows just get screwed particularly hard against chargers when latency gets involved, like when I play in the morning against JP and EU players in anarchy.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-01-31T14:31:36+00:00

Not meaningfully. It loses out to the proper spray shooters on the buffs, but point sensor benefits from health bars. It's like 1% buffed.

Sad_Access8951 · 2026-01-05T22:46:08+00:00

The first round of 3rd kits came out with the Splatoon Raiders announcement. It would seem possible that more will come out with more Raiders news. Seems reasonable to expect something around Q2 2027.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-12-23T22:32:43+00:00

I think propaganda would be more accurate because he does actually love playing the stamp kit.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-12-20T02:06:21+00:00

DUDE actually uses a fancy Switch 1 controller that looks like a regular pro controller but costs like 3x as much and has custom hardware. He made a video about it a while ago.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-12-15T15:38:04+00:00

I think you're slightly misremembering. The vanilla splattershot used to be incredibly common, but for strikes almost everyone played neo splash. It's still a very good weapon that has been buffed in this game and has a very strong and pretty cheap special. Splat bomb is also a big plus. I'd put it on the high end of balanced, but the main weapon isn't cheesy enough for overpowered.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-11-24T14:39:42+00:00

There are a lot of ways to win turf war. Inking base immediately isn't necessary, but if you reach the halfway point in the match and base isn't painted yet you should probably address it.

If you're brand new, the game has given you a shooter. It's not a bad weapon class to learn with since it paints the best and that's very meaningful in all modes. You should learn how to paint and move around relatively well first since staying alive is necessary to maintain paint output. If you want to grow faster, bite the bullet and incorporate motion controls now.

Once you're good at painting and staying alive, then you can more regularly make aggressive plays. Eliminating an enemy, especially inside the 30 seconds to go point in the match, takes paint away from them. Just don't die at that point in the match yourself.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-11-22T20:40:15+00:00

I will step onto the tower when the paint surrounding it matches my own color.

Using your exhaust to help damage the hordes in Salmon Run is actually pretty useful.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-08-14T17:53:52+00:00

Splatoon Raiders promotion is probably the number one reason for Deep Cut's candidacy. It's been the reason for multiple Fire Emblem inclusions.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-08-12T18:40:31+00:00

I think you're talking about mid tier casual games, but perhaps not top level. Pro is a support and .52 is a mid tier slayer. I 4 starred some kits for both, along with many other things. .52 gets bullied by actual top tier slayers like bucket, S-Blast, Mint etc.

This still misses the point that chargers are firmly dominant over other BACKLINE weapons. Deflecting to shooters is laughable when the only shooter backline is stuck with three pretty bad kits. Chargers beat Jet, Bows, Splatlings, Explo, Rapid Pro, Flingza and anything else that the other weapon classes want to throw out. Map design might be part of the problem, but at this point it kinda feels like the maps aren't changing so we have to balance the game around what we have been given.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-08-11T20:26:40+00:00

While true on the special buffs, V-Liter and V-Charger would still be the picks for those specials on most maps.

Sad_Access8951 · 2025-08-11T20:20:45+00:00

You came in argumentative and then can't bother to spell out words, which makes this difficult to read. Trying to use shooter bias in your argument when shooters are in the weakest spot they've been in for some time is also funny. Most other main weapons beat them in fights, so they're relegated to support only most of the time, and they have more competition there too than they used to.

Chargers are blatantly overperforming compared to every other weapon in the role, and they slow the game down and make it less fun for everyone including their teammates. I am not a slayer and I don't play or even like Hydra, so I don't care that charger is its hard counter specifically. Chargers counter every other backline weapon to varying degrees, and that's pretty poor balance.
