    well-researched and quality voice over 👍
  • I think Deco could have potential if Angle Shooter was buffed to be a decent sub. It already has combo potential with the main weapon and can be used to poke backliners and anyone outside of Slosher’s range. It’s just currently too difficult to consistently pull off and the sub is in general weak as both a poking tool and location tool.
  • @ShabbyCA
    As a Slosher main from Day 1 if it’s release in Splatoon 1, this was an amazing trip down memory lane. I do want to say though that vSlosh wasn’t considered very good at the start of splat2 since tenta missiles hadn’t been buffed yet (and people haven’t figured out to use it yet). Other than that this was an amazing video keep up the great work!
  • @kekekepi
    I love these in-depth videos, it’s something almost no one talks about
  • @trle964
    the slosher class has been the most well balanced class across all games imo. burst bomb slosher is op but at least it was only in the first game and that was its only broken kit
  • @lepenguin1907
    I honestly love the slosher a lot, and it's one of my favorite weapons. So, I love hearing about the history of the weapon.
  • As someone who has played primarily slosher (basically a 1 trick) ive learned that the pattern for all the kits is vanilla-displacment/ combo potential deco-agro spacetaking but never "good" soda-creative kit always finding a way to be diffrent cant wait for soda slosher and am hoping for torpedo/tacticooler since it would finally be a slosher that can be a support ( none have ever been a support focused)
  • @Pikatwig16
    Nice to see the Slosher history. This was my main in Splatoon 1, and I've recently started 3 and gotten it up to three stars.
  • After maining Custom Range Blaster in Splat1 and since there was no range at launch of Splat2, I played a lot of Slosher and it quickly became my most used weapon in Splat2. Your title is spot on since the base weapon and most kits are really good but at least when I've played the game, there's always been a different slosher(machine or tri) or other weapon that is more favorable or meta even though I prefer the Slosher. Great video! Also, I was shocked when I saw myself in the footage. 😂 The Saltspray game starting at 3:34 playing with Unity

    Great video! I’ve been playing slosher since… well I first mained it in Splatoon 1, although Splatoon 2 was already out at that point, so this video actually did clarify stuff I was late to the party on. Slosher speaks to why I love Splatoon mechanically so much. It’s range is actually quite good for long it takes to kill, and using it to get that perfect positioning to just barely kill someone at the edge of your range is bless. Going into the future, I hope line marker gets buffed because the deco kit actually has the potential to be very fun, it’s just that the kit happens to be undertuned right now (and please make line marker actually fire where my crosshair is Nintendo.) Super chumps for a third Slosher kit? Idk, could be interesting.
  • @tonyjr7986
    Yo I loved this video! But I have to say that Slosher Deco is slept on. It’s definitely outclassed by the other Zipcaster weapons, but it’s incredibly fun to play once you put in the work to learn how to make the kit work. Definitely has its niches.
  • @yaga.7338
    I'm so glad I came across this series, every episode is extremely well edited and the effort that went into research is clear! Really appreciate your work❤
  • @aronspiker72
    This video helped me realize why Slosher was my most consistently used weapon in 2 and why I honestly don't have quite as much fun with it in this game and haven't used it awhile: the meta and map design. Also my other favorite weapon class the Splatlings just kept getting nerfed in 2 while in 3 they got a lot of indirect buffs and are pretty good in the meta right now which is why I've switched to more of a backline player w/ Ballpoint (this thing better get a beakon kit in Season 4), Heavy (this thing better get a wall kit in Season 4), Tri Stringer (this thing better get a beakon or wall kit in Season 4), and Explo (if you couldn't tell all of the weapons I like play would work great w/ beakons, especially Explo as beakon Explo is my most wanted weapon kit in the game & as a Ballpoint main that's saying something).
  • Yoo I watched the Rapid Blaster one recently and saw you say that you'd make one on Sloshers eventually! Looks like that time is now, nice! Sloshers are such dumb fun, I remember the OG Burst Bomb + Inkstrike one being absolutely everywhere. That thing definitely helped make the Summer update feel even crazier! Props for all your work on this. Can't wait to take in valuable bucket facts during my dinner!
  • @tracerwg8328
    This is a great series! Definitely made a subscriber out of me with rapid, and the hits keep coming
  • @Shad0wed
    Nice video, I'm excited to see more of these in-depth overviews of weapon histories. Keep up the good work.
  • @fridotato2560
    I don't often comment but I just wanted to say I love these videos! They're well informed and easy to listen to, and it definitely helps that you've covered 2 of my favourite weapons in a row (rapid blaster + slosher). I know it was busted but I will always miss S1 vanilla slosher, it was so fun to play. Great work in general :)
  • @Typi
    Splatoon2 Slosher was probably one of the most consistent decent weapons. All three had meta uses at some point in Splat2's lifespan, and offered unique playstyles. The three kits lived together in harmony, until one day the patch nation attacked and wiped out the Deco Nation.
  • Dude your Chanel has quickly become one of my favorites on the platform, I love watching videos like this one
  • your rapid history video helped me kick off my love for the rapid deco in 3, really glad to see this become a series!
