Spaceman: Now you get an additional 15 seconds added to your buff clock for every kill or assist you get Me, who doesn't even play Splatoon: Damn that's exactly what it needed
@@v0idvice640 I think an accuracy buff would take away from the inherent design of the weapon. Where as fire rate increase would keep to what the weapon was designed for. Make it too accurate and it's too much like jet squelcher or pro. But if you increase fire rate, it brings it closer to what it's supposed to be, mid range support aerospray
This is the "gun with great firing rate and range but meh damage" young me always wanted, and boy was young me stupid. Big Swig T-poses on Snipewriter and Nova so hard it's kind of impressive. It's fun, unique, and a meme weapon that's GOOD!
I actually like Splattershot Nova and am fairly good with it. It happens once in a while that I get 25-30 or even more kills with it. Combat is actually decent if you know how to play into the weapons strengths, namingly it's locating abilities and range in addition to a better mid-range performance due to better ink output than the jet Squelcher has.
I guess with Nintendo EPD 5 constantly throwing new shooters at us like a shower of comets, some of them were bound to be bad. But I was actually really looking forward to the Nova before it actually came out. Oh well, at least they nerfed the Crab Tank to where Splash-o-Matic isn’t a must-use in Ranked.
I love how everyone thought snipewriter was dogshit when it released and now it's the single best weapon in the game, crazy how a couple buffs to a special turned it around
I actually got the Nova to try out a more support focused gameplan, and it does it's job of revealing and suppressing the enemy really well. tagging enemies with point sensor and basically siccing my teammates on them is so much fun.
Its funny how often video essayists use P5 music for ambiance but this is the first time ive heard anyone use the spaceport theme. Good video overall. I dislike this weapon for the reasons you listed though i wasnt aware of how opening gambit functioned so thanks for that. Love your sense of humor and how youre able to add in jokes almost effortlessly without it detracting from the actual substance of your commentary. Comet
So, from what I can gather, the nova is a HARD support weapon. Like, it is not good by itself. It's purpose is to make things easier for your teammates, and nothing more.
True, and as such it's really dependent on your teams performance which can be really frustrating at times, especially since you often find yourself wondering what the F your team is doing 20 kilometers away from the frontline. However, if you have decent players in your team, it can be very good, even on it's own, the 30+ kills I have archieved with it in one match sometimes don't come from nowhere.
Funnily enough I picked up this weapon yesterday, played it exactly as you described and it went well! The sup and special spam got so many assists and my friends in vc appreciated the fact that I was playing turf war in anarchy-
0:51 who would’ve thought that after months asking strangers on the internet, I would finally understand this meme in a SpaceMan video… Thank you SpaceMan ❤
I like the Nova after all the buffs it got, I still think it should have a 4 shot kill, but it's still a decent support option. Even with the 5 shot kill, It's not as bad in fights as you'd think because it has the range to bully short range shooters.
Yeah, and the paint to cut approaches off. Your ink tank efficiency and run speed are naturally good, so you can just backpedal and paint if you're zoning. Otherwise you can move up and harass and make a quick escape.
Someone on Twitter once posted a screenshot of a Nova with 32 kills & 5P. It was a round of CB and all he did to achieve that was spam point sensor. That madman had main & sub saver combined on all slots of gear.
I like the Nova! It's decently fun to just goof around with, at least with my playstyle. I do wish it had a bit more damage or a faster fire rate, but as someone who leans towards support, it works for me. But you were right about that one Nova player being cracked. I felt I was gonna comet- er, vomit watching them.
I have come back to this video many times ever since it has been uploaded, something about this video was great with the *Space Gun* and then later on the negative levels of drip joke (7:38 timestamp a bit before of the joke for added context!). The punchline was delivered so well!
I 4 ⭐️ Nova early on and learned if you don’t wanna risk opening gambit, run speed, swim speed, special charge, sub power, and a little bit of intensify can go a long way for the weapon
I'm actually maining this one. If everything goes well I can have 30+ kills on a regular ranked mode match. But I'd say average is around 15. I used to main the Jet Squelcher, but since the set's of the Jet Squelcher are a hot mess with secondary and special weapons that don't do anything or actively sabotage you I switched. I actually have to say through that it isn't that bad in combat. Yes, you have to hit 5 times, but I'd say it's kill time is better than the Jet Squelcher since it's fire rate is higher and you're more likely to actually hit thanks to your 2ndary weapon and the higher rate. Also, it can still outrange a lot of weapons which also helps.
Hey man, I just wanted to say that you’re by far my favorite obscure youtuber, your dry sense of humor and commentary make watching really enjoyable. You deserve way more subs
Had to comment how excited I was to see another Splatoon weapon vid! Looking forward to an eventual Splatana vid (and vids for the other new weapons) but I'll be patient cause 100 matches is a lot to get through! I've played the Nova a bit and it's fun to be a point sensor spammer but it does need a boost. Hoping the weapon gets an update cause the kill time is pretty abysmal.
"You know, I like Splattershot Jr., but I just wish it had more" Accuracy: Splash-o-matic Damage: Sploosh-o-matic Fire Rate: Aerospray Range: Splattershot Nova Maybe play Comet Observatory for your next video's outro.
I mean the increased painting buff already helped quite a bit. But its supposed to be a support weapon which tracks opponenets and paints for its team. Ofc with opening gambit a dmg buff would be nice but that wouldnt be healthy balance wise. Need some disadvantages too otherwise it might get too strong.
Our Opening Gambit lives begin at our first term and end at the end of our tenth. And during that time we fight to fill our flame clock so we can live longer. Comet
Not every shooter should be a copy paste weapon without weaknesses and I think they did really well designing this one. It has strengths and it has weaknesses. Play to its strengths and it can do well but force its weaknesses and you will struggle.
Splat1's Custom Dual squelcher was my baby and I cri every time it's not re-added to the game. Splat3 better have an "Everyone is Here" moment with it, or else I'll...continue to cri evrytime
The Nova needs something with more oomph. Maybe the Booyah Bomb. Toss that across the field like a comet. For a sub, I dunno, Squid Beakon? Or maybe just any bomb? Even Autobomb, since that also tells you if someone's in an area.
Tbh im perfectly okay with it being a five shot kill, as it gives the weapon more identity. My big issue is the accuracy, as Nova has the worst accuracy of any mid-range weapon. I really wish it had some sort of "fighting mode" to negate the bad rng. Most shooters have a characteristic where the longer you fire the less accurate shots you typically get, and i think it would be cool if Nova had that but to the extreme. My rework idea: Upon popping out of ink Nova would get perfect accuracy for about 8 or 9 shots before rapidly decaying to its current spread over the next 5 shots. It would take a full second in ink for the accuracy to recover. Jumping does NOT effect the spread. (Any numbers given here can be tweaked for balance sake). I think this would be a good change for the weapon not only to make it an overall stronger main weapon, but it would also straight up be more fun to use. Nova would now reward players more for their aim with a trade off of being limited in how much time you can spend in the mode. On top of that it still allows the weapon to play more supportive with the spray mode since it still would paint better. TLDR: Long aerosplash
The fact they gave a five-shot weapon stupid bad RNG with mediocre firerate makes me really sad... That being said, I finally found a shooter type weapon I enjoy playing, so I cant complain too much.
Yeah, while i think it could be better, i main the weapon so im a little biased. I will however be glad to answer anyone's questions about Nova. P.S lots of run speed and bomb power up. EDIT: Any questions EXCEPT, my life choices.
Not gonna lie I dont mind the damage being weak but it needs one of two things to compensate and it has neither; perfect shot accuracy (Like Splash) or super high fire rate (Like aerospray, N zap or splash) Being a 5 shot with mediocre fire rate and unreliable shots is just too much; which really sucks cus I genuinely love being a support player with point sensor I would def say that the weapon is absolutely still playable though! But I wish it was actually good
jokes aside of the chill season weapons big swig i think is easily in the best spot for the weapons, at least swig is actually seriously a threat in some zones maps where you can cheese it
COMET. Also, I might try the -Splattershot Nova- Space Gun now that you seem to… tolerate playing it. I’ve also been eyeballing the Big Swig Roller, simply because of its niche in Splat Zones. I love weapons that serve a niche in a specific mode because it gives me the excuse to play different weapons from time to time, instead of -slowly and painfully grinding- trying to get five stars with Glooga Dualies.
Also (I don’t often comment twice in the same video), is this the new “how to” format? If it is, I’m lovin it. Also Cap, give us the abilities analysis video and nobody gets hurts.

Okay that one was legendary
Spaceman: Now you get an additional 15 seconds added to your buff clock for every kill or assist you get
Me, who doesn't even play Splatoon: Damn that's exactly what it needed
I think a 20% boost to fire rate would fix the main weapon
even 10 or 5% would probably be enough
aerospray pro intensifies
tbh all it really needs is an accuracy buff.
@@v0idvice640 I think an accuracy buff would take away from the inherent design of the weapon. Where as fire rate increase would keep to what the weapon was designed for. Make it too accurate and it's too much like jet squelcher or pro. But if you increase fire rate, it brings it closer to what it's supposed to be, mid range support aerospray
@Leftover Noise fully agree if it had an accuracy buff it would just turn it into a n zap reskin
Glad to see you doing another weapon guide with your signature humour.

So what I'm hearing is: It's not that bad!
NovaShot remains UNDEFEATED
Easily the worst aerospray in the game
But Koramora, you love the

I'm still trying to get used to the custom squelcher since I vibe pretty hard with mist + ink storm.
Another top tier video as always, keep up the hilarious videos

really hoping nova gets ink storm in the future. it would help with its kill time and solidify its job as a support, i think it would be really fun
Still waiting for a damage/accuracy buff to this day💀
I had no idea Opening Gambit could even do that.
Time to dust off some hats
Also Comet
I love nova. If nova has a million fans im one of them. if nova has 1 fan that's me.
I just wanna comment on your bass playing real quick, it's immaculate and you have great taste in songs!
comet
All you need to do to clap with the nova is to play a get off me playstyle
Thanks for telling me about Opening Gambit! I'm gonna try to build a good set around it and call it the Comet gambit!

"You know, I like Splattershot Jr., but I just wish it had more"
Accuracy: Splash-o-matic
Damage: Sploosh-o-matic
Fire Rate: Aerospray
Range: Splattershot Nova
Maybe play Comet Observatory for your next video's outro.
All the snipewriter slander only for us to get over two seasons of pencil meta 💀
now do 100 matches of undercover. time to suffer more my fellow space cadet
Another captain astronaut video another bright side to my day

all these shooter weapons are raining down on us like comets give us more brushes nintendo! brellas and buckets !
Space gun needs a big bro who fires comets like a rail gun
Splattershit nova lives up to its nickname
The Nova needs something with more oomph. Maybe the Booyah Bomb. Toss that across the field like a comet. For a sub, I dunno, Squid Beakon? Or maybe just any bomb? Even Autobomb, since that also tells you if someone's in an area.
My Splattershot Nova tip is to stay hydrated and drink water before every match because you're playing with a water bottle gun.
I love how he tortures himself for our entertainment respect dude😊
THAT'S BRAT OVERFLOW FROM 13 SENTINELS YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME

I guess I can no longer dodge the sweated in open with splattershot nova allegations now.
Splattershot nova is secretly a slayer weapon with opening gambit if you play your cards right.
ngl that white jungle theme caught me off guard tbh. great vid tho
The fact they gave a five-shot weapon stupid bad RNG with mediocre firerate makes me really sad...
That being said, I finally found a shooter type weapon I enjoy playing, so I cant complain too much.
Its fire rate isn't mediocre by any means, but for a weapon that only deals 24 damage per hit, that is a bit too slow to comprehend
Rip dual squelcher :'(
Yeah, while i think it could be better, i main the weapon so im a little biased.
I will however be glad to answer anyone's questions about Nova.
P.S lots of run speed and bomb power up.
EDIT: Any questions EXCEPT, my life choices.
Big Swig is actually aight now after the buffs
snipewriter would have a chance if it had a useful burst like inkstorm
Big swig is actually insanely good every since the buff it received
Me, a nova main: :,(
The *IN HELL* took me by surprise
Amazing video! Comet!
coolest bassest on the interwweb
fun video, great job! also Comet
MORE NOVA SLANDER (kinda) LET'S GOOOOOO
