Why Splattershot Jr. is Good

Honestly, It's rather bland.

It just feels like you wanted to rave about the jr. for a second, instead of giving tips. I like how you stated the pros of the weapon, but everyone knows this. Just saying "It has a fast fire rate and it inks stuff", isn't enough to qualify this as a "good" weapon. Sure you stated some uses for the splat bombs, but you saying that splat bombs are good for clearing the tower compared to suction bombs is kind of dumb.

The reason why I gave this such a low rating, is because you said it inks everywhere, but you're implying that it's not good for Splat Zones. Not to mention, you contradict yourself by saying it's meant for lower levels.
The guide introduces very little that would be new to anyone who has played even a few rounds using the Splattershot Jr.... which, considering it's the default weapon, is everyone.

It's short, extremely lacking in knockbacks, and even has some misleading information -- for example, saying "this is meant for lower levels" or not good in Splat Zones and Rainmaker. From my experience at least, there are plenty of S-rank Splat Jr. players and it's actually more viable in Splat Zones and Rainmaker than in Tower.
Really bare, and feels like it's just a forum post raving about the Splattershot Jr. Honestly though, I do believe Splattershot Jr is really good, you just need to convince others of the same. Throw in some tactics, advantages and disadvantages and some pictures to make it look nice. Looking forward to an update on this.
Could use some more information and organization. I feel like this didn't take that long to do, and is honestly kind of bare bones. Go more in depth on Splat Bombs and Bubbler, show what gear is preferred, not just what abilities. And I'm surprised Swim Speed up isn't recommended.
