It does not have bad damage output. It is faster than most blasters even with 3 indirects. I have done the frame calculations and it is on par with the Rapid Blaster for pure indirect kills, plus it has more consistent damage than the Rapid Blaster itself. Therefore, you cannot say that this weapon is bad at getting kills without say that blasters are bad at getting kills. As for the hit box, it is not wonky. It does damage to the opponent by having it fall on them just like every other slosher. Keep in mind that Sloshers don't do damage to the opponent by having the wave of ink rush into them. They actually do damage to the opponent by having the ink fall on them. I will say it again: SLOSHERS ARE CATAPULTS!!!!!! If you are aiming directly at your opponent with a slosher, you are doing yourself a disservice. This is because you are actually give up the extra range that you could have gotten it you arced it upwards. Now another thing about this weapon is that it teaches you how to control and change how much you arc your shot.
I wonder how people aim CATAPULTS to hit people right in front of them... hmm if only I could change the trajectory of my missile... oh wait I can to that. Do yourself a favor and go practice in the testing room for at least 20 minutes to actually get to know how the projectile works and maybe you will surprise yourself by figuring out how one actually uses the weapon properly. Come back and tell me your results of how much you learned about the weapon by spending time with it and observing its quirks. Finally, not to insult you and mostly everyone in this thread, but the mechanics of this weapon could honestly be learned by a 5 year-old throwing their toys in the yard at different angles.
Lol, my god the arrogance on this guy. . .
I didn't say it has
bad damage output, but for how precise the shots need to be the damage could have been better. Also, every other slosher has a Massive hitbox. Have you ever used a slosher? Like, ever? The "vortex" the Sloshing Machine creates is nice and fancy and all, but it requires you to be VERY precise, which is not something any other Slosher has required, but if I wanted a precision weapon I'd be using others that aren't sloshers. It's pseudo blaster effect is cool, I've admitted that, and it's pretty unique. And I love this statement right here
"If you are aiming directly at your opponent with a slosher, you are doing yourself a disservice." This is what the Sloshing machine sort of requires you to do. The other Sloshers have the large hit box that, while yes you are catapulting the ink, actually falls onto the opponent (which the Sloshing Machine does not do if it's arced to high) and leaves little wiggle room for said opponent to get away. As far as the Sloshing Machine goes, Arcing it too high means your "vortex" isn't close enough to the ground, which means you're not hitting anything hiding or literally right in front of you. Even if you are, if you're not aiming directly at the opponent, you're shaving them with the edge of the vortex, leading to 2-3HKO's leading to you likely getting splatted, or them getting away, which is where "aiming at your opponent" comes into play. It's not an atrocious weapon I'll admit, but you can't sit here and act like it has no downsides dude. It has positives, but I still feel that isn't enough to warrant its use over other Sloshers. You can moan, groan, and essentially say crap we already know all you want, but the truth is, it's just not that great. It's not terrible, but it's not all that great. If I wanted something that sort of worked like this, I'd use a blaster. If I wanted something to net kills with big hitboxes, go over walls, or do things like Burst Canceling I'd use the Vanilla Slosher.
Whew. . . Okay, firstly, I spent A LOT of time in the training room experimenting with the Sloshing Machine. I went over damage calculations, trajectory, hitboxes, ink coverage, I spent a good half an hour with the Sloshing Machine because I REALLY wanted to use it. I was a sucker for its design. However, even after toying around with it I have a hard time saying it's really all that great of a weapon.
Second, try not to assume stuff please, I messed around with the Sloshing Machine quite a bit more than I thought I would.
Third, if you're going to argue your point on it, use something other than "I said so, and because I said so it's right so you just must suck and not know how to use it".
Step off your pedestal.
