sloshing machine has and always will be my favorite. its such a unique, fun weapon. i did favor the blaster family before i could pick it up, and i found the "best-of-both-worlds" combination to be one that i was skilled with. i do my best to use both variants, but the vanilla one just hits a sweet spot for me.
now, if they could make an ink mine/kraken one, i would finally sell my soul to nintendo. but for now, i'm pretty pleased with what they have to offer.
