I don't normally watch much speed runs, but I'm loving this. I also really like the game despite its flaws so it's fun to watch it played like this
I died whenever I tried :I
I've started to love splat bombs. In Splat Zones they allow me to support my team from afar and catch random enemies off-guard. In turf wars they're a useful distraction as I flee.
Dual Squelcher's been getting more usage because of them.
It's fun to get some momentum and treat them like bowling.

You are joking, right? It's the perfect anti-blaster weapon. You sneak or brush in fast, and get at point blank range.

Ranked is faster if you win most of the time.
Nope. When you come out an attack you're mostly stationery and you're a ripe target. Easy to aim at. Even if you do splat the guy you're gunning for, another blaster nearby will easily take you out. When you run through the stage using your brush, blasters have the easiest time taking you out because of the large splash radius. There's no better weapon type to take out brushes charging forward.
Oh and another thing. Blasters are great for flushing out people hiding in ink because of the large splash radius.
I guess you need to teach the blasters and chargers I am chasing down and taking out! The blast radius means nothing when you are inside their radius.
Well that's downside of the argument, very few people know how to properly use long range blasters. Probably SM239 can attest to that it's no easy feat approaching my blasters and we know he's a very good close combat player.

Rapid Blaster >>>>>>>> Range Blaster. Yes, I went there.
EDIT: Though to be fair my sensitivity is way too high for weapons where you have to actually aim. I have it on my roller sensitivity of 0. Next time I'll try -2 and see how that goes.

Does that mean larger painting radius and lower splash damage?
It means it's harder to get ohkos. The angle is very nearly multiplied by the projectile distance to get the x axis spread. When jumping at max range with the range blaster. This spread becomes wider than an inkling
Edit. You can hang in the air for a split second on the shot becomes more accurate. But I was testing out shooting right after jumping. And the shots would miss direct hits sometimes even though my cursor was on it and I was in range.
The struggle is real.
I don't know what I could contribute but I want this to be a thing.
I technically got something rare. But I can't play online until the 4th. So I have to grind enough for the new weapons and clothes before the evening of the 5th.

I wish the next Japanese Splatfest was closer to see if the theory is really true.

I had a 1pt victory recently. I believe some other GAFers were there. It was crazy.

I forced myself to play for a tiny bit. Only tried brush nouveau. Bubbler on brush really makes this the easiest brush to break through enemy lines, but still not recommended to go head to head with people, they'll just push you back. Except for rollers, this brush strikes fear for them now.

Wow, this range blaster is awful for points :/
