Brush nouveau especially frustrates me. I understand beacon on it. I understand rain on it. But in combination they just don't work. Beacon kit needed an aggro special like kraken or inkjet, and rain kit needed a pokeable bomb like splat or even auto.
@@ajmoment8091 I feel like Inkline Tri-Stringer and Octobrush Nouveau should swap specials like Tri-Stringer would benefit from the chip damage of Inkstorm and Octobrush could use the Chumps to help push in using them as slight cover and/or a distraction
@@nathanblackburn1193 Not completely wrong, but I prefer what we have now. Octobrush has the more varied damage combos, and setting up storms from unique angles gives Octo a niche that Chump wouldn't have.
Something that just does not get talked about enough is how cool Gold Dynano looks. Like bro, it’s so golden and shiny. Anyone wielding it is most definitely a G O D!
Message to all heavy edit users: if you dont full charge, you fire for longer. Because of the firerate mechanic, a full charge (2 seconds) fires for 3 seconds, but a partial charge you fire for twice as long as you charge, so you can go to almost 4 seconds, so be willing to use partial charges.
Yes, I noticed this as well. The fact that it doesn't fire as long at full charge does feel a bit like a downside to me, but not quite as much as the charge time and range.
@@JakoBpyroTech well the reason is it fires faster, so you still fire the same amount of shots in total, it just a trade off of either having a really fast ttk or firing for a long time
I had a feeling Heavy Edit was gonna be the winner here. The weapon has been introduced in just the right time with just the right kit and the dps helps it a lot. Very curious to see how it places later on
I really hope Nintendo buff Dynamo mid-season. Gold Dynamo has so much potential, especially in zones, but the main is just weak. Its paint is that inconsistent and its kill is unreliable. If it got even a small paint or damage buff, Dynamo would be a real threat on Zones
Bro all they need is to just remove the RNG from every weapon and make it consistent for real how hard can it be……. Also RNG just isn’t fun, i played 52 and 96 so much because i just love Ink Wall but i frucking hate the rng on those things, so many missed kills because of that trash, fuck rng man.
I think the Octobrush Nouveau could be SO MUCH BETTER if all the maps had flanks like the 2 new ones. Playing it on clam blitz in those maps feels amazing, and I agree, flounder will go hard with it! The same kind of applies to Dynamo, but it's definitely more of a skill ceiling. Great video, and good job to the editors! Looks different!
Sprinkler has been surprisingly neat for the Inkline Tri-stringer. The main weapon is ink efficient enough that you can afford to spend the ink on it even with the low impact it has.
I think that the next patch the heavy edit splatling is gonna get nerfed because, basically, this weapons is simply the mini splatling with the Hydra but on steroids
I can see +10p for special and a slightly reduced firing rate on partial charges, but nintendo has been VERY stingy with weapon nerfs. The slow charge rate and range make it vulnerable to flanks and struggle vs weapons with higher range, as powerful as it is
As a goo tuber fan, what you said about the custom goo tuber is fairly true. I feel like stamp would've been a better special for bamboozler or squiffer due to their fast charge times
I’ve always wanted to use Tri stringer ever since I saw it in the trailer, but couldn’t really do that with the original kit. So I’m very glad we got this new kit, because it offers a back line/support weapon that works very well for Splatzones
how is sloshing machine #4? you seemed to only list negatives when talking about that weapon so i just wanted to hear some of its strengths and reasons for it being high on the list
I think angle shooter is the perfect sub for bloblobber. If you're good at aiming, it helps you finish off enemies. This is especially useful for a weapon that has very low speed projectiles as it decreases the amount of dodgeable blobs you need to hit. Plus, bloblobber players seem like they'd get the hang of killing around the corner with the sub and that's kinda scary to think about. Anyways, it seems fun and I'm gonna try it out!
I’m still shocked they didn’t give Gold Dynamo Booyah Bomb. Maybe they’ll give Tempered Dynamo Autobomb and Boohyah (referencing it’s kit in Splatoon 1 of Seeker, Inkstrike)
Can you make your next video a tutorial on the new brella? I’m new to the weapon class and I would like to learn how to properly use the kit with the weapon.
a bit of a niche thing, but what i love most about the heavy edit is that its based on fountain pens. the black body with the clasp and red circle on top is a clear reference to the TWSB eco pen models, while the ammo itself are generic fountain pen refills. cool stuff!
Tbh. I really like the new blob and I thing angle markers/shooters are underrated. It causes my enemies to panic when I hit them with one which will allow me and my team to target more easily. Very good on tower to especially with kraken. And I have gotten at least 20 kills with line. Basicly a lower dmg snipewriter in your pocket.
I've been playing a ton of Dread Wringer and I think the thing it needs is a damage buff solely at point-blank range - as you mentioned, it is really easy to run down. If it was able to one-shot within melee range it'd be much better at dealing with pressure, and it really needs the get off me tool. It's not easy to hit one slosh when a splattershot is darting around you, so requiring it to hit three is just unwinnable. And like, you're telling me this massive amount of ink deals the same amount of damage at maximum range as if I dump it directly in someone's face?

@@decepticonsoundwave297 yeah but it was long awaited. If they do add a kensa eventually which I’m sure they will, I really hope it gets booyah. It was awesome
LESSSSSSGOOO, as a huge brelka fan and main I find it great to see my fav weapon and class get to top 3 and how it’s FINNALY fixed and buffed and a good kit along with new tent kit
I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t talk about how Point Sensor and Zooka works/doesn’t work on the Neo Slosh (you do say there are other Zooka options but outside of getting them faster you don’t explain why), but what you say about its playstyle makes sense. From a casual standpoint though, I think the kit works well. Point sensor lets it arc shots over walls or cover easily considering you know exactly where to aim, and Zooka works for long distance pressure and the Machine can combo off an indirect hit
I think dread wringer could legitimately get away with mist/ booyah as a kit. dread is almost closer to something like bamboo, but it trades some speed for better paint and far bigger hitboxes. mist could allow it to go for more consistency at the range it want to be at and booyah is booyah, so it could easily capitalize off even a bit of chip from booyah and force the opponent to be in far worse spots
oh yeah i could totally see mist working for dread wringer , leaving the enemy slow and ink hungry , essentially putting wringer on a more level playing field in fights
I still can't wrap my head around what the Gold Dynamo's playstyle is supposed to be with this kit. Splat Bomb takes too much from it's ink tank, and Super Chump does nothing for it. If it's supposed to be a painting-focused roller, we have that now with the Big Swig.
Dread Wringer has actually been one of my best weapons so far. I found running ink saver, bomb saver, and swim speed is really good for the kit and makes it easier to use and less likely to be run down? Idk im not a pro or anything but running this makes it fun to zip around and play as bait while picking off team members one by one.
I legit think Ballpoint Nouveau is better than Ballpoint Vanilla. I really don't like Fizzy on Vanilla, I'd rather charge my gun than my bomb, and I still don't like using Inkjet even after the buffs. I remember when so many thought it was a bad kit until Inkjet got buffed and then it was everywhere. It seems to me like Vanilla is more about playing Inkjet than playing Ballpoint, and between short range paint and Fizzy it's very good at that. However, Nouveau feels like I'm actually playing Ballpoint. I love placing Mines ahead of me to help with short range fighting, overall it's the best weapon that currently has Mine since it can place them in more aggro positions that E-Liter won't and Rapid doesn't want to. I also really love Vac to give my team safe jumps and help push almost anything. Of course this is just my experience in Solo and Team Open and, at the very least, is my opinion as a Splatling player.
honesty even though they’re bad comp-wise, I really appreciate that they made some of the worse kits (blob deco, custom goo, etc) very fun. I don’t really think every single weapon needs to have a comp niche, if they’re just fun like those ones I’m happy
Yeah but balancing them isn’t hard, currently almost all of the non-lethal subs are considerably worse than the lethal ones, some kits just suffer from 1 or 2 few bad components, Aerospray for example is a bad weapon with either a not-so great sub or not-so great Special, Goo Tuber is a bad main with an amazing kit, and so on. We should get more buffs to bad weapons / subs / Specials as i dont think theres anything too broken rn.
Based Metroid music Some bow players that I’ve talked with have basically said how the new kit is pretty inferior to the original which is what I’ve said. vBow has mist which while not an amazing special, sprinkler isn’t either and mist allows you to slow enemies down while picking them off with your arrows and wail, (which just got that great new buff and makes the vanilla kit even better to play). With the specials, chumps I just don’t see as being any good still even with the buff. You’re supposed to “combo with the chip damage”, but in the unlikely scenario that you hit with a chump explosion, it’s just going to kill, the timing for hitting with your arrows and a chump burst at the same time is just not happening it’s not a good point for a “combo option”. You can farm them all day, and it still won’t make a difference if they just get shredded immediately or just straight up ignored. And their only strong spot is in zones, other modes they really don’t work as well, wail is a special that can fit well into any mode. This kit really is failed potential.
Agree it only even kind of comes close on zones, where a well placed sprinkler can be helpful painting the zone and also lure out an opponent and shoot a round of arrows at them. Even that though, the stars have to be aligned, it's not any kind of reliable
I’m gonna be honest here With all the object based subs in the game, as well as the map design we have going on, I think splashdown would be a solid returning sub.
The fact that the only weapons to beat Sorella Brella on this list were BP and Heavy Edit is a sign. We might see a new peak for Brella, if it can get some better damage and a more consistent shield, it’ll be perfect
I really want to try and be at least decent with the (Sorella) Brella, but I'm really bad with Ink Jet and, well, aiming in general. I feel like not landing a good shot with the Brella means you're going to have a hard time getting a splat.
I think naut outclasses heavy edit in the main weapon dept because naut has slightly longer range and better mobility with charge hold. Edit can’t even recharge while firing like ballpoint can.
being a die-hard Bloblobber fan (and player) myself, Blob Deco has a marker and that marker is just better off treat as Point Sensor than a combo tool. It can combo, but only if the target is stationary for long time. Despite said above, Marker can be used as a finisher if you hit 2-3 blob hits but your main weapon is way too slow up close thus you can quickly throw one to finish them off or at least mark them when you are down. as for Kraken, I wish it has a different special than Kraken. It sort of works but even then Ultra stamp would cover more area of denial and can long range throw which is what Blob REALLY wants over a Kraken with only melee range.
The blob angle shooter argument is very true, but even if you do run one sub of Bomb defense, it’s still helps with kills from far range, short range, and helping with close range fights. kraken helps with forcing itself into areas to hold, or just using it as a kraken
Ima be honest, after playing heavy edit I can absolutely see why it feels like nautilus. Only difference between the two aside from kits and charge time is that I feel like heavy edit is more prone to getting ambushed if they don't expect it. It often can feel harder to react to. Maybe that's just a skill issue I have though.
I’m so sad that the new Octobrush was ruined. I mean the first Kit already is decent, but I really wanted kraken here. And no bomb doesn’t work for me on short range weapons
I feel like you could make a solid comp around just the new weapons Heavy Edit Sorrlla Brella Dread Wringer Ballpoint Nouveau Dread wringer gives the team a lethal bomb, is able to combo off of everything else here, as well as use reef without the cost of dying because of cooler. Ballpoint Nouveau is a lot more backline focused than the vanilla kit and the extra support vac gives the team is very nice as well as ballpoint being ballpoint. Sorella Brella is a great inkjet option that can push in farther than normal and also makes for a great partner to Dread Wringer as well as the shield giving it a little more survivability to contest points for just a little longer Heavy Edit is great at helping the team push up and stay up with great pressure and cooler output. Feel free to give me any feedback on the team as well as alter it if you want. I really enjoy trying to make teams without shooter because they can be very unique and tackle situations in different ways.
i'm not a competitive player, so...grain of salt. tablespoons, even but for line marker, i really can't agree with "it doesn't have a sub for reliable damage". if you practice it enough, line marker is one of the _most_ reliably damaging subs. it's only limited by your aim (and corners). the clip at 2:50 is odd to me because blob's being portrayed as helpless, but i've been able to hit back-to-back line markers in that position. and, since the dapples stepped in enemy ink, they'd probably be splatted by marker even if they were running sub resistance
as someone who’s not horrible but not very good at the game, the gold dynamos and heavy edit splatlings have been a menace to me lmao, but whenever i keep getting shat on by a weapon it makes me want to play around with it so that’s the silver lining
Early gang Agreed that the new kits are a mixed bag, some push their vanilla kits completely out of relevance (even if they already were) while others just don't cut it with how their main weapons are atm. Most have been quite fun casually tho, they're doing pretty well on that front with the kit design.
I think people are overrating Heavy Edit/Examiner/Corrector a bit. Yes, it has Mini's run speed and a high fire rate, but the weapons flaws and competition are rarely mentioned. Until it's fully charged, when compared to Mini, you're trading dmg for duration of fire. It takes 2 seconds for the weapon to fully charge, but you don't have that much range. Because it can't charge hold or recharge, when forced out, it has to repeat that dance all over again. The charge time combined with the range can make fighting long range adversaries a tall order. On top of that, because it barely 4 shots, Examiner has to play even closer than its range value suggests. Nautilus on the other hand, charges more quickly, doesn't need to charge the first ring to have its max range and has those aforementioned charging quirks. All in all, like Mini and Naut, Corrector is a good main weapon and I believe that just like them, it needs a good kit, or at least a good special to truly shine and I disagree with the notion that its fundamentally a broken weapon that needs to/will get nerfed next patch. It just so happens that Edit has Tacticooler, AKA a great special a shorter range splatling needs to be really popular
i don’t really know how nintendo would go about implementing this, but splatoon would be so much more fun is the combat wasn’t so special-oriented; the fact that good strategy has to revolve around spamming cooler and inkjet is kinda unfun and the game would be way more healthy if it didn’t need that to play well. i think that if, universally, all PFS were increased by 50 or more special points, the game would feel more fun for like everyone, special weapons would actually feel SPECIAL, and then casual players wouldn’t see bs like full special-charge Aerospray RG or Flingza and the meta wouldn’t be so cooler heavy.
Goo Tuber needs a rework. Charge holding isn't a good gimmick for it, and every charger has it anyway. I'd suggest making it a beam. Essentially a string-ray but as a main weapon, without the wallhacks, and much shorter duration. Something that isn't just charge hold.
as a casual stringer main, its hard for me to get used to the new kit. i like the vannila kit more because i can combo toxic mist, killer wail and half charged shots on a group to get a few killsbut idk im not a pro player :)
The "Kline Stringer" is still a very disappointing kit for me, even after playing with it. It's such a waste that we didn't get a kit that either improves its offense at max range or provides more defensive utility. It's just another displacement focused kit. And the only reason I'd ever consider running it over the vanilla kit is because Chumps work better in certain comps and modes.
I've been waiting so long for Gold Dynamo to get the bomb back, and now that it's here I've gotten so good at sprinkler/cooler that idk if I'll even play gold that often.
i am so excited ro play brella for the first rime with the new kit. been wanting to play it i have been maining tristringer for the most part and i haven't been able to play the new update.
anyone who thinks the wood octobrush isn’t good is clearly way too reliant on bomb spam, if you’re good on octobrush, suction and zip feel more like a hinders fr than anything so i love having support options when i’m only rly using my main weapon to fight anyways
I feel like they want Goo Tuber to use it’s charge hold to get up close and personal, and then retreat to charge again. With this kit I think shows that, Fizzy to create a line of paint to swim up in and Stamp to be an up close option after the shot. Issue- I don’t think Goo will ever play that way since it’s just a fundamentally flawed playstyle to try and encourage, I don’t see any amount of balence changes, kits, or reworks getting it to actually play that way.
I’m a brush main and I have been playing the new Octobrush Neauvu (yes I don’t remember how to spell Neuveau) non stop. I absolutely love it. But yeah to be fair I don’t play ranked and I could only imagine the struggle. I can actually farm storm pretty decently and I make Beakon work. I definitely wanna try it in splat zones tho.
I'm a brush main too and I play ranked. So I tried octobrush nouveau (yes, nouveau like this) and the feeling I have playing it is like this kit actually completes the other one, it's a bit easier to handle the situation in splat zones and tower defense with beakons and ink storm. I still hate this kit due to its lack of in-fight mobility (s2 nostalgia) but it's not that bad.

We should get more buffs to bad weapons / subs / Specials as i dont think theres anything too broken rn.
Based Metroid music
Some bow players that I’ve talked with have basically said how the new kit is pretty inferior to the original which is what I’ve said. vBow has mist which while not an amazing special, sprinkler isn’t either and mist allows you to slow enemies down while picking them off with your arrows and wail, (which just got that great new buff and makes the vanilla kit even better to play). With the specials, chumps I just don’t see as being any good still even with the buff. You’re supposed to “combo with the chip damage”, but in the unlikely scenario that you hit with a chump explosion, it’s just going to kill, the timing for hitting with your arrows and a chump burst at the same time is just not happening it’s not a good point for a “combo option”. You can farm them all day, and it still won’t make a difference if they just get shredded immediately or just straight up ignored. And their only strong spot is in zones, other modes they really don’t work as well, wail is a special that can fit well into any mode. This kit really is failed potential.
Agree it only even kind of comes close on zones, where a well placed sprinkler can be helpful painting the zone and also lure out an opponent and shoot a round of arrows at them. Even that though, the stars have to be aligned, it's not any kind of reliable
Love the music choices for this video
I’m gonna be honest here
With all the object based subs in the game, as well as the map design we have going on,
I think splashdown would be a solid returning sub.
4:02 that clip was insane wtf
unironically im in love with the new gootuber, the kit is so much fun for me and i love the gimmick of the main weapon itself lol
6:51 knew i recognized this match somehow, i was the rapid pro LMAO
Metroid prime music in the background W
I've been waiting for this 🛐
Wasn’t expecting Metroid prime music.
The fact that the only weapons to beat Sorella Brella on this list were BP and Heavy Edit is a sign. We might see a new peak for Brella, if it can get some better damage and a more consistent shield, it’ll be perfect
I really want to try and be at least decent with the (Sorella) Brella, but I'm really bad with Ink Jet and, well, aiming in general. I feel like not landing a good shot with the Brella means you're going to have a hard time getting a splat.
I think naut outclasses heavy edit in the main weapon dept because naut has slightly longer range and better mobility with charge hold. Edit can’t even recharge while firing like ballpoint can.
being a die-hard Bloblobber fan (and player) myself, Blob Deco has a marker and that marker is just better off treat as Point Sensor than a combo tool. It can combo, but only if the target is stationary for long time. Despite said above, Marker can be used as a finisher if you hit 2-3 blob hits but your main weapon is way too slow up close thus you can quickly throw one to finish them off or at least mark them when you are down.
as for Kraken, I wish it has a different special than Kraken. It sort of works but even then Ultra stamp would cover more area of denial and can long range throw which is what Blob REALLY wants over a Kraken with only melee range.
I like the editing on this one
Upboated for the Metroid Prime music
The blob angle shooter argument is very true, but even if you do run one sub of Bomb defense, it’s still helps with kills from far range, short range, and helping with close range fights. kraken helps with forcing itself into areas to hold, or just using it as a kraken
The Heavy Edit is the GT Goku of Splatoon 3
YOOO diggin the metroid prime music
This vidoe's background music caught me off guard cause I was JUST playing metroid prime again
Ima be honest, after playing heavy edit I can absolutely see why it feels like nautilus.
Only difference between the two aside from kits and charge time is that I feel like heavy edit is more prone to getting ambushed if they don't expect it. It often can feel harder to react to. Maybe that's just a skill issue I have though.
I’m so sad that the new Octobrush was ruined. I mean the first Kit already is decent, but I really wanted kraken here. And no bomb doesn’t work for me on short range weapons
I feel like you could make a solid comp around just the new weapons
Heavy Edit
Sorrlla Brella
Dread Wringer
Ballpoint Nouveau
Dread wringer gives the team a lethal bomb, is able to combo off of everything else here, as well as use reef without the cost of dying because of cooler.
Ballpoint Nouveau is a lot more backline focused than the vanilla kit and the extra support vac gives the team is very nice as well as ballpoint being ballpoint.
Sorella Brella is a great inkjet option that can push in farther than normal and also makes for a great partner to Dread Wringer as well as the shield giving it a little more survivability to contest points for just a little longer
Heavy Edit is great at helping the team push up and stay up with great pressure and cooler output.
Feel free to give me any feedback on the team as well as alter it if you want. I really enjoy trying to make teams without shooter because they can be very unique and tackle situations in different ways.
Quality season even with the lack of content.
i'm not a competitive player, so...grain of salt. tablespoons, even
but for line marker, i really can't agree with "it doesn't have a sub for reliable damage". if you practice it enough, line marker is one of the _most_ reliably damaging subs. it's only limited by your aim (and corners).
the clip at 2:50 is odd to me because blob's being portrayed as helpless, but i've been able to hit back-to-back line markers in that position. and, since the dapples stepped in enemy ink, they'd probably be splatted by marker even if they were running sub resistance
as someone who’s not horrible but not very good at the game, the gold dynamos and heavy edit splatlings have been a menace to me lmao, but whenever i keep getting shat on by a weapon it makes me want to play around with it so that’s the silver lining
I really like the new octobrush kit,it has beacon that is a lot useful to get faster in the fight after diyng and storm is more fun then zipcaster.
Even if the shield is a bit unreliable, you can still use it to protect inkjet landings, and that has worked for me most of the time.
Early gang
Agreed that the new kits are a mixed bag, some push their vanilla kits completely out of relevance (even if they already were) while others just don't cut it with how their main weapons are atm. Most have been quite fun casually tho, they're doing pretty well on that front with the kit design.
I think people are overrating Heavy Edit/Examiner/Corrector a bit. Yes, it has Mini's run speed and a high fire rate, but the weapons flaws and competition are rarely mentioned. Until it's fully charged, when compared to Mini, you're trading dmg for duration of fire. It takes 2 seconds for the weapon to fully charge, but you don't have that much range. Because it can't charge hold or recharge, when forced out, it has to repeat that dance all over again. The charge time combined with the range can make fighting long range adversaries a tall order. On top of that, because it barely 4 shots, Examiner has to play even closer than its range value suggests. Nautilus on the other hand, charges more quickly, doesn't need to charge the first ring to have its max range and has those aforementioned charging quirks.
All in all, like Mini and Naut, Corrector is a good main weapon and I believe that just like them, it needs a good kit, or at least a good special to truly shine and I disagree with the notion that its fundamentally a broken weapon that needs to/will get nerfed next patch. It just so happens that Edit has Tacticooler, AKA a great special a shorter range splatling needs to be really popular
I'm thinking of the dread ringer being the bamboozler of sloshers
i don’t really know how nintendo would go about implementing this, but splatoon would be so much more fun is the combat wasn’t so special-oriented; the fact that good strategy has to revolve around spamming cooler and inkjet is kinda unfun and the game would be way more healthy if it didn’t need that to play well. i think that if, universally, all PFS were increased by 50 or more special points, the game would feel more fun for like everyone, special weapons would actually feel SPECIAL, and then casual players wouldn’t see bs like full special-charge Aerospray RG or Flingza and the meta wouldn’t be so cooler heavy.
i was ready to try heavy edit just because it looks cool. just a bonus that its gonna be meta lmao
Clear dapples when
We’re not getting third kits.
A man can dream
0:00 That badge making me go 🗿
Goo Tuber needs a rework. Charge holding isn't a good gimmick for it, and every charger has it anyway.
I'd suggest making it a beam. Essentially a string-ray but as a main weapon, without the wallhacks, and much shorter duration. Something that isn't just charge hold.
bro's logo at the end changed 2 vanilla brella
as a casual stringer main, its hard for me to get used to the new kit. i like the vannila kit more because i can combo toxic mist, killer wail and half charged shots on a group to get a few killsbut idk im not a pro player :)
The "Kline Stringer" is still a very disappointing kit for me, even after playing with it. It's such a waste that we didn't get a kit that either improves its offense at max range or provides more defensive utility. It's just another displacement focused kit. And the only reason I'd ever consider running it over the vanilla kit is because Chumps work better in certain comps and modes.
shoutout to Oliy for the metroid prime music lol
Malibek is the goat for the metriod theme
I've been waiting so long for Gold Dynamo to get the bomb back, and now that it's here I've gotten so good at sprinkler/cooler that idk if I'll even play gold that often.
i am so excited ro play brella for the first rime with the new kit. been wanting to play it i have been maining tristringer for the most part and i haven't been able to play the new update.
Every weapon in this new season is at least fun to play, and thats great, about what I want out of new weapons
Ok. i see the full metroid prime soundtrack here 😊
We never get to the “I was watching Television “ part of the song when it gets played in the outro.
anyone who thinks the wood octobrush isn’t good is clearly way too reliant on bomb spam, if you’re good on octobrush, suction and zip feel more like a hinders fr than anything so i love having support options when i’m only rly using my main weapon to fight anyways
We’ve got to call attention to the clip at 4:02
OrthusOmega Here!!! We were just playing turf war... im sorry for the losses... im trying my hardest to learn brush
I feel like they want Goo Tuber to use it’s charge hold to get up close and personal, and then retreat to charge again. With this kit I think shows that, Fizzy to create a line of paint to swim up in and Stamp to be an up close option after the shot.
Issue- I don’t think Goo will ever play that way since it’s just a fundamentally flawed playstyle to try and encourage, I don’t see any amount of balence changes, kits, or reworks getting it to actually play that way.
Mad that dread wringer isnt a one shot if both shots hit the sweet spot
Even is blue tuber (bloober) isnt comp viable it sure is funny as hell and fizzy combos are more reliable than torp combos
I’m a brush main and I have been playing the new Octobrush Neauvu (yes I don’t remember how to spell Neuveau) non stop. I absolutely love it. But yeah to be fair I don’t play ranked and I could only imagine the struggle. I can actually farm storm pretty decently and I make Beakon work. I definitely wanna try it in splat zones tho.
I'm a brush main too and I play ranked. So I tried octobrush nouveau (yes, nouveau like this) and the feeling I have playing it is like this kit actually completes the other one, it's a bit easier to handle the situation in splat zones and tower defense with beakons and ink storm. I still hate this kit due to its lack of in-fight mobility (s2 nostalgia) but it's not that bad.
@@gabinmathieu6958 OH that’s how you spell it, I should’ve just looked it up.
Is it just me or would a splatana wiper pair well with burst bomb and tacticooler?
