New Aerospray MG and subweapon gameplay

[Cloudy]

This setup looks ridiculously good but maybe that's just me.

 

[Howl7]

Cool setup! It seems really good to me too, especially the secondary and special weapon, thanks for sharing it!^^

So in this video they showed off the Aerospray MG main weapon, the Seeker sub weapon, and the Inkzooka special weapon.

The Aerospray seems pretty good. Covers quite a lot of ground. The Seeker sets up a nice ink path to squid through.

(Side note, funny how in the Japanese version, it's not "good guys" and "bad guys" but rather just "your own team" and "opponents' team.")

That way the most solid playing I've witnessed....

 

[Deku]

The player does an excellent job of controlling the map. She doesn't overextend herself, but attacks when she sees openings. She falls back when she's at a disadvantage. It's not about kills but about containing the enemy near their base.

 

[Cozmosus]

Glad to see the Seeker is nicely balanced. Not OP at all and can be dodged as easily as other bombs.

 

[Zoot]

Holy heck, that person was good at Splatoon. I can't wait until I'm able to tear up the battlefield like that.

The Seeker is a funny one, because it uses up almost all your ink but provides a way for you to replenish that easily. It's a very cool weapon.

 

[get ROWDY]

the weapon seems decent, but that person was definitely a solid player. You could probably give him any weapon and he would do well.

the seeker is probably the coolest out of any of those weapons in the video

oh my god, using the missile sub-weapon for travel! has no one thought of this before!? that's genius!

Yeah if this is what high level Splatoon play is going to look like I cannot wait

On one hand I'm a bit disappointed, I was kind of under the assumption this was gonna be the game's version of a flamethrower. The fact that it has maxed out fire rate made me think it was a continuous stream, plus it's named like spray paint, and it even looks like one.

On the other hand, I think I just found the weapon I'll be using. Looks amazing.

 

[zmop]

i absolutely love that setup that sub weapon is my favorite. Kit's probably 5,000+ points whatever the currency is but definitely a set i would pick up.

 

[SquidisaWard]

Yea, this is totally gonna be my main weapon until I find something better. It would been great if the special weapon was a shield so you can Rambo on everyone, lol.

 

[Inari]

that loadout looks like so much fun

considering how braindead obvious it is, I'd put that down to us not having access to it in the demo

these are the sorts of things that will be found day 1 by anyone who actually tries things out

 

[Perfect Stealth]

Very good set for close quarters mind games.

The homing missile works wonders for putting opponents into sticky situations, and forcing them to either retreat or get blasted by the missile/your shots at them. Very good for mobility as well since you can follow the tracker safely without having to worry someone in front of you will take you out - all while refilling your ink as you go. The cannon special is damn good. It has excellent range and it's a one hit kill.

Overall a very good set for both offensive and defensive play.

But it's an advanced technique.

I didn't actually watch the video.

But it's an advanced technique.

does this mean I get credit for it because I said in some thread after the demo that people spamming secondaries out of spawn to rush mid is something that should be happening

if so I will call this technique 'banana bending'

Banana bending hype
