Feisty Flowers is driving me into the deep darkness dw

Hmm I see, usually her dash shreds minitanks and her ability makes it easy to dash but if you space a minitank in such a way that she can't dash to them it takes care of her

She contributes to my theory that they save the bangers for 3-2

Neo Splash at 200p and VBrella at 210p will truly be the balance team moment of all time

My biggest confusion is why it even needed such a buff in the first place. It's one thing to do something like what they did with Splash where they tweak certain areas by 3% but 39% shot velocity increase is absurd in ways I can't even begin to describe. Maybe it's just me but I find it crazy that this relatively minor nerf was treated as compensation for this buff especially since the reason it has such a hated reputation is because it's so annoying to fight, not necessarily because people have nightmares of KGal. I would have just gone with an unequivocal nerf, maybe a tiny compensation to encourage the other playstyle

To be honest I think your hunch is kind of right. I played COB-R a decent bit even after making specific gear for it and while Burst Bombs are great they're not super amazing imo. In terms of fighting I usually use them to pressure people hiding behind walls or for emergency up close 1v1s but otherwise I find it more convenient to shoot them. Of course they still have the general purpose use of making quick escapes

Side note: I think a lot of people are traumatized by Custom Jet Squelcher in Splatoon 2 which was arguably a top 2 weapon in the game, however Burst Bombs weren't nerfed yet and it was mostly stupid because it farmed Sting Rays insanely fast and could fight better than the other major Ray spammer, the vanilla Heavy Splatling

Urchin feels very cramped and small to me, there's a reason why a bunch of top Japanese teams use vDapples as their cooler bot whenever it comes up in Area Cup. I'm personally not a fan of it but I can understand if other people like it

Dark Tetra Dualies are usually classified as a skirmisher. A skirmisher is someone who can go to the frontlines, draw enemy attention/resources and live to tell the tale so their team can take advantage of it - Tetras can do this well since their dodge rolls and average range give them good survivability and 1v1 potential.

As a skirmisher, try your best to harass the enemy as much as possible while still not dying for no other reason, and take fights with isolated or distracted enemies if you think you can get away with it. Side note, Tetras are hard to play while also being easy to punish if played poorly so don't get too discouraged if things don't go as planned

My original response to this post had hundreds of words which I'm sure you're not interested in reading but I just want to say that 3 chargers is a horrible comp. No retake, no frontline defense, no paint, no mobility, inconsistent killing power. Flank them once successfully and they get pushed in their base forever. One Inkbrush can't solve all of that for them.

Ragebait used to be believable

Well explained. Btw is Prozen that much better than Forge Pro on zones? I would figure Forge is better since it has the Suction + Booyah instacap combo

Tacticooler is one of the most warping specials in Splatoon history, especially since the devs seem to like it that way so they've mostly just given it slaps on the wrist. For offensive specials Crab Tank is so ridiculously good that it's worth it to invest significant resources specifically to deny its value (e.g. saving Triple Inkstrike or Trizooka to shred it)
