How Squiffer Became The PERFECT Weapon

[@bendymaster572]

It’s nice seeing squiffer getting so much love from the devs. I wonder when Brella’s are gonna get this same love 😉😉

[@literally1751]

​​@@rufian22yeah in comparison to daps, undercover is just so much worse. Not only is it stuck with a bad kit, the shield is made of paper, and it does almost no damage. The only aspect of it that is better than dapple is its range. But that is rendered mute by dap's rolls. It definitely needs some buffs. I mean the reefslider fix was good but still, it's really bad. I'm still maining it for some reason though.

[@ryane5281]

Squiffer is my favourite weapon to watch in comp because of the way top players jump around all over the place with it. I kinda suck with it but I want to learn the weapon just because of how cool it is imo.

[@seabirdflutter]

oh yeah, I suck with it but it's just so fun. nothing will ever beat catching the enemy eliter through a grate on the skywalk in eeltail alley. magical moment

[@NoahGrease]

As a squiffer main, it’s worth learning

Agreed! Best charger ever!

[@IsTheMeep]

I still feel that Tri-Stringer should have the same jump arm time physics as Squiffer

[@AnthanKrufix]

I would prefer it didn't because half-charged shots are as useful or even sometimes more useful than full charged shots.

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

Reef should but definitely not tri stringer

[@Cless]

​@@AnthanKrufixno because it would be a better swuiffer

[@ShadamAran]

Yeah no that would be a nerf. jumping during a charge after or just before the first full charge ring slows down the charge and gives you more options for how you want to spread explosive arrows on the battlefield. This is necessary for stringers to have all their unique shot placement options

[@dannyrivera2733]

I’d prefer it REEF-LUX got this kind of buff

[@nnoxx_PK]

The year is 2050. I am the only dapples main remaining. Nintendo confirmed the 10th kit for it. 210p missles and line marker. Glorious

[@Seven-9090]

Is that a good or bad thing? Serious question, I wouldn’t know.

[@dienik512]

[@unebaguette9745]

I love how the splatoon title cards at the beginning are different based on the game's art style, really nice touch!

[@elliotclark8592]

Been playing squiff a lot recently, and it is so much fun. Crab cancelling while falling is soooo satisfying and I pray the fresh squiffer has zip and a good sub. It also made me realize charge didn’t mean sniper when I got out ranged by a slosher.

[@beastmode4tm]

imagine burst bomb on it (never gonna happen)

[@blu6295]

1. Explosher to win! 2. Squiff is a really good beginner charger, in my eyes at least.

[@ThatOneAceDude]

You’ll never guess what happened

[@H2Overdrive99]

Love this video and the basic idea of it: showcasing a weapon's history and how its changes are healthy or unhealthy for the game. Chara, you continue to be an EXCELLENT presenter! 👍

[@porterstout1851]

[@545wei]

It was treated fairly well in 1, with great/decent kits, became a mid mpu weapon in 2 (kits didn’t help), and became shit in 3 (no mpu and distance nerf from 1 to 2 kills it. plus the kits are so mid)

Thnak you for talking about my favorite weapon in the game !!! i main squiffer since i started playing the game back in splatoon 2 and i absolutely love it. I really hope they actually put the zipcaster kit in the game.

[@adrianrivera8717]

As a squiffer main, it definetly got better over time it may not be as popular, but it is underrated sometimes.

[@mushroomdude123]

I’ve been a huge Squiffer fan since S2. I really hope it gets Zipcaster in the future.

[@p_ness453]

squiffer has been one of my favorite weapons since I started the game back in S2, I'm glad its getting the recognization it deserves

[@Changed_the_box-cat]

As a dapple Duallies main, a miss the torpedo splashdown kit because it let me be aggressive, but now? Reef slider is meh, but at least I got my torpedo

[@TorayNix]

Coming back to this weapon AGAIN because of Reeflux getting the same trait

[@waltterikoponen8426]

The one thing I hope for the squiffer in the future is that if sheldon's picks return, I want the fresh squiffer to use the original/older design (and a fun kit) I just dont really like the redesign :/

[@andrewdrost6786]

I'd love to see a charger with zipcaster, and I think squiffer would work the best with it.

I honestly love how aggressive squiffer is, out of all the chargers currently in the game its my favorite one lol (Also hope that it gets kraken back like how it was in 1)

Squiffer is a really fun spin on the charger class as a more aggressive charger. It’s the only charger I actually like playing.

[@EwoX09]

I love squiffer as it is my main, but I want a more aggressive kit

[@mystic5175]

It just needs a bomb that deals damage and an aggressive special and I'm satisfied

[@kwayke9]

Squiffer's always been one of my favorite weapons ever since the 1st game. Finally got to learn how to use it in 3 and it's so much fun to just jump around and snipe people

[@grantpreusker8870]

I loved playing the squiffer in splatoon 2, but it got hard to use as you did explain. There are just so many specials that are hard to avoid with the placement of squiffer. I hope it gets more attention in this game, not by the devs, but by other people.

[@averypatrick5279]

Was not expecting the squiffer documentary today but shiiiit I'm not complaining.

[@softy5447]

Hi it's me the mythical splat1 squiffer main. What's interesting is that looking over the original trailers and footage for splatoon 1 it seems squiffer was the very first charger ever concieved appearing way before even beta realistic-looking charger and served as a testbed for the class with TONS of kit pieces. It was seen with burst, disruptor, wall, and even inkstrike. I'm still not crazy about zip squiffer but with inkjet being not trash now either of the fresh squiffers will be great now and other changes have made both new squiffer kits(with hammer replacing baller) much more promising if we get them in the future. I honestly cant take it for granted that there is no way to reference a past kit in a bad way for my favorite weapon.

[@PetikG]

I love those short clips of gameplay without the UI or the inkling viewed from various points of view you wouldn't usually be able to set up in the game, because someone must have modified the game in order to create those clips, and they did it all just so they could get footage for a discussion video. That's what I call dedication.

[@greenguy9090]

You're giving the devs a LOT of credit. Some weapons are just doomed permanently and others are lifted into the meta

I picked up this weapon in the 3rd game and was amazed at how good of a weapon it is, hopefully we get to see more of them on comp play

[@cinemaphiliacc]

playing defensive is fun and i really like playing eliter BUT squiffer allows for a variety in gameplay where i can play aggressively :3 very fun weapon

[@squiffurthewolf6276]

I am extremely happy with this video, the only thing i want from squiffer now is a slight range increase, bcs it feels like it was lacking now bcs of no mpu, and a kit with zip, but honistly i can think of many great special squiffer can get, krakon royal, zip caster, ink jet, trizooka, its had many good special that worked for it well, and for its subs, an auto bomb, and suction is always nice for it too

[@LuddyFish_]

I love the visual animation when squiffer charges that was added into Splatoon 3. It's something very appealing. 5:32 for those who want to see it.

[@_slare]

As a player who has gotten into playing squiffer after all the big changes it received, I completely agree that if they do this with many other weapons, it could make more players look into playing those weapons which helps the game's growth and weapon spread a lot.

Finally some Squiffer love. I still find this weapon to be the most fun to main, even after really dropping the game.

[@ggjoshr2720]

It's kinda funny how coincidence this is on my side. I was playing around with Squiffer because of its midair charge and seeing this makes me want to be an aggressive sniper. I was playing Z+F Charger a lot, so I got aiming down to use the weapon properly.

[@Bird-up]

I think wave breaker could be a great special for the weapon. Jumping or squid rolling is a predictable motion that I think squiffer players can easily take advantage of. As for the sub, torp could combo off of the waves well if the player on defense doesn't want to or can't jump, as well as just being a better point sensor to locate targets. Thoughts?

[@teaMalista]

I take this opportunity to say: I'm scared of a good squiffer. But one still lives in my head rent free. It was in Manta Maria and he was EVERYWHERE! Like literally all over the place. He got me so often and I kept looking at my screen like: "👁👄👁??? Where did he came from??"

[@leochaichana7649]

[@MrSad-gr6kk]

My personal dream Squiffer kit is Autobomb and Crab, because it lets it do its job of supporting its team with its special and by finding opponents, while also being slightly more aggressive. However, I don’t want crab on it if crab isn’t meaningfully nerfed
