Even outside of Earthbound, Chugga stills gets the 1 in 128 chance.

[@ProChara]

My favorite Splatoon weapon of all time. Range Blaster has a lot of flaws its just so damn fun. Those long distance directs flicks and combos are just too satisfying. Thank you so much for letting me be a guest this episode it was amazing.

[@iamspotpanda]

For as much as it may have flaws, when you play it, you make it look so easy. Years of practice I guess.

[@an-ei]

Your prowess with this weapon just proves that experience trumps raw stats.

[@setsunad9746]

I've been binging your content lately and I've been watching chugga for many years now, so this wasn't a surprise but it was still a jarring crossover nonetheless

[@limesar5602]

I had gotten recommended your videos lately (probably because of this let's play lol), and as soon as Chugga said he wasn't going to be playing the Range Blaster, I knew you were gonna make an appearance! As much as I want to use it myself, it's just... oof. That's all I can say about it. Here's to hoping that the appearance overhaul in Splat3 bodes well for the weapon!

[@ClaimSuit]

would you perhaps say that one of the biggest misconceptions chugga had about it is that one needs to use it more like a thump gun and not like a common rifle? having the blast radius only count at a certain distance, to me at least, would mean spacing and timing are more key then rushing in and spraying wildly like many blaster/dualies do.

[@bracken8782]

He hasn’t mentioned it yet, but the hero shot (at level 3 especially) is based on a real gun. It’s based on the P-90, and it’s the closest you’ll get to using an actual gun in the splatoon franchise.

[@omegamkx588]

There are also a few weapons that resemble real guns, though to a lesser extent. The clearest examples are the L-3 and H-3 Nozzlenoses. They're revolvers.

3:50 they actually get into this in the splatoon manga! the hair IS tentacles, just like emile said, but they don't hurt to remove. there's even a running gag where a character using the same hairstyle chuggaa does has his little hair tentacles pop off when he's upset or embarrassed! literally malding

[@UltimateStarky]

I remember back in the Splatoon 1 LP where Chugga had plenty of good things to say about the Range Blaster and variants. Unfortunately with the loss of Damage Up as an ability and so many nerfs, I think this is one of the hardest falls from grace between the two games. But hey, I still see Grim Range Blasters every so often in matches, so it's not a totally neglected weapon!

[@jordanthejq12]

Range Blasters, Carbon Rollers, and apparently E-Liters? The Trinity of awesome-turned-awful weapons.

[@MidoseitoAkage]

That's remind me the good weapon from tf2 who get nerfed so much because they're been so good.

[@popsicIes]

@@jordanthejq12 Don't forget Sting Ray!

[@chugga]

It's a sad fall from grace. It was dominant, if a bit samey to a normal Blaster in 1. But here they gave it an identity in the worst way possible by just hitting every stat it had...

[@nedegame]

I'm surprised there aren't more comments about Chara's skills. The fact that he made contact at all on that splashdown cancel attempt in the last match is bonkers (at like 39:00). Have seen his content before but forgot about his insane aim

[@averagechannelname9969]

ProChara was such a fun guest to have! I think you two bounced off each other pretty well! Definitely one of my favorite episodes so far. Especially with the endless Kelp Dome saga

[@karmascamera5275]

*IMPORTANT:* *One Main of Ink Saver (Sub)* on the Grim Range Blaster will allow you to do Burst Bomb-Shoot combo TWICE with a full tank

[@ProChara]

actually you only need 2 subs which is why I have them on both my sets, so you can save a bit of gear there.

[@moviemaker199]

4:00 I don’t think “hair” and squid form tentacles count as having nerves, because real squid and octopus tentacles can actually break off without harming them. Plus, they grow back over time.

[@GeminiOxStar0603]

[@Rioluman10]

Also, do they even cut them? Maybe they just style them in different configurations.

[@EeveeShadowBacon]

@@Rioluman10 they might, some haircuts do seem to have been cropped or cut.

[@DocLumen]

As many flaws as the Ranged Blaster itself has, ProChara showed the strengths of the Grim variant rather well here - combined with Burst Bombs it can effectively take out groups of opponents at ranges the other shorter range blasters can't because of both blast damage and movement penalties, and in ways that the other longer ranged blasters can't in the same amount of time while still retaining the one-shot capability. This is on top of it being only one of two blasters to have Tenta Missiles, and the other one is the Clash Blaster Neo - while faster firing, it's not a one-hit kill for starters, and Curling Bomb just isn't as effective as the Burst Bomb in most instances, especially when paired with Tenta Missiles (Curling Bomb can cut off escape routs, but Burst Bomb can do that as well on top of being consistent chip damage combined with the chip damage of Tenta Missiles AND the Ranged Blaster). There really isn't any other weapon in the game that can perform like that.

[@chugga]

Absolutely! I was so glad to have him show us what's possible with a generally weak weapon! It was showcased in the best light possible.

[@fernandobignardi6716]

Being added shot deviation to the range blaster from S1 S2 was the ultimate nerf a weapon can get. From 0% deviation to 10% of a shot. This weapon was fun in S1

[@garb8933]

I DONT EVEN GET WHY THEY NERFED IT?? IT WAS NEVER BROKEN WHY MAKE IT EVEN WORSE WHEN IT COULD BE FUN

[@ProChara]

Technically not 0 but how jump rng works in 1 was different. So range could jump shoot immediately with high reliability while in this game its yea...

[@chugga]

It was! It's such a shame they made it utter trash... I think someone on the design team was afraid of how dominant it was if they kept nerfing it.

[@1CrazyFoxx1]

@@chugga yeah but at the same time, a living, breathing person saw the gun that takes 1 sec. to shoot and 2 sec. for the bomb, saw the 200p to get ink storm of all things, and said “nah, too op, time to nerf” and did it multiple times.

Procharas introduction was so cool I love seeing a bunch of alternate views on the uses of weapons! It was a blast lol :3

[@SammieWeiss]

That triple kill from Chara was dirty

[@aronspiker72]

9:12 actually if you already owned cold blooded equipment then they would turn into Bomb Defense Up DX but if the main ability slot of an equipment piece did that, then you could trade it in at the shop with a version that had Main Power Up. This unfortunately meant that any Super Sea Snails you used on those pieces of gear were wasted if you traded them in.

[@BigKlingy]

I always wondered why Bomb Defense Up had the "DX" at the end of it when it was the only variant of Bomb Defense Up. Now I know.

[@BananaFaceDude56]

i was wondering why i had so much bomb def up dx

[@SpeedDemonPowerage98]

I can confirm this. As I had basically all of the cold-blooded gear pieces before I updated my copy of Splat2 to the version which introduced Bomb Defense DX this was when I eventually decided to get my 2nd 12 month Switch online Subscription. A few years back.

[@WolfyTheDark]

I really love how ProChara plays really aggressive despite it being the "Ranged Blaster." He takes a risky approach to get up in people's faces to hit them point blank and then duck out, making sure he only needs to land one more direct or two chip shots at most in a fight. If not, he either hits a burst bomb, or dives in with one, making sure to capitalize on them. Other than that, he really used the range and whatever positioning he could (though his aim more than enough made up for any position deficit). Very awesome player, certainly seems like a swell guy.

[@LordShonji]

Ranged Blaster, welcome to the Club of Getting nerfs for no reason. Unite Cramorant, Smash Bros Greninja and Gunlance after 3U will welcome you further inside

[@TheGravityShifter]

One thing I'll give credit for this weapon, is that since it's lower tier, it's not used as much, so it's more rare to see it. With that being said, players theoretically can get caught off guard with it if there's a player like our homie Chara who's great with the weapon.

[@chugga]

I think I can get behind that! No one really seemed to be aware of its hard weaknesses when Chara was using it optimally.

[@TheGravityShifter]

@@chugga Exactly! And I think those who probably knew the gun's weaknesses weren't ready for his high skill with it.

[@tylercoon1791]

Isn’t that essentially Hungry Box’s strategy in Melee?

[@jordanthejq12]

@@tylercoon1791 No, because Puff is a genuine top-ten character. She's not played as much because the community hates her playstyle. A better example would be the classic "low tier heroes" in fighting games. You prey on matchup inexperience to close the gaps created by character (/weapon) quality differences.

[@AnthonyMtheGamerArtist]

I still love the original Range Blaster moment in Spoon 1; “They just took the Blaster, made a part of it go SPROING, and called it a new weapon.”

[@JayTheProtag]

Chugga was putting the rage in Range Blaster in the weapon bio lol Glad to see Chara helping out in this episode, this was a fun watch

[@treecko7424]

Funnily enough, I played in the 2018 UK Championships, and a day or two prior to the event another team was doing some work with the Nintendo UK Community manager, and saw the graphic shown at 8:57 up on his laptop. Obviously, he didn't say what it actually was, so for a day or two before the update was announced by Nogami at the competition there was some speculation behind closed doors that they might be adding an ability fusing mechanic, and that you'd be able to combine any two abilities. Needless to say, we were probably the only people that were actually disappointed when we saw what the actual change was!

[@n00dl3gal]

CHARA!!! Amazing player, awesome tutor, and now he's teaming up with Chugga? LOVE IT

[@alexswindley-wilson2762]

4:00 cephalopods (so octopuses and squids) can actually detach their limbs and later regrow them, so I imagine that inkilngs and octolings can do this with ease, and it's also possible that to get a certain 'hairstyle', they possibly trim and grow them in a manner to how we can direct plant growth, such as how some watermelons are put in boxed to grow cube watermelons, or how some chairs are made by growing trees into the shape of chairs (it's real, look it up!)

[@hallaloth3112]

Couple things 1) I love that we've gotten some pro-players to commentate and show off in these videos. I don't think I've ever seen anyone hang on to the rainmaker that long effectively 2) I imagine you see a lot of random skills with randos online and that the game doesn't really tell you what exactly each skill does. Main Power Up sounds like it should 'power-up' your main weapon. . .meaning more damage. I also think sometimes use full sets just to show off that they have the pieces. 3) I do love that in the casual/mid-tier level of play. . .skill slots don't matter overly much? All skills for the most part help every weapon to some degree. I know personally run a lot of Ink Recovery up and Special Charge Up. I know I need to vary it a little more and look for more Respawn Speed and Swim/Run Speed and actually get a consistent kit down.

My head canon is that inkling "hair" works like clay; they can apply water to soften it and mold into different styles because their bodies are somewhat made up of ink. Although I'm not entirely sure about that last part in regards to inkling body compositions, so clarifications would be nice if anyone has any

[@shiningmagneton469]

So according to the end of yesterday's episode, this weappon is apparently bad. I guess it's time to see how bad it really is. I will say, this is one of the most unmemorable weapon designs ever, which ironically makes it memerable to me. Funny how that works. Not that I actually remember anything about it other than that it exists, but whatever. It's the Range Blaster. Who cares. Kirby! This level's off to a good start. At least he hasn't died by falling yet. I spoke to soon. Also, I like the Gilded Sword. Fight me. Emile should really know by no that whenever he says something is easy, it immedietly blows up in his face. Give me the Ye-haws? Really? I finally have the answer as to why Bomb Defense Dx is called, well,... Bomb Defense Dx. It was merged with another ability. And so a mystery is solved. Huh. That was something I had been wondering for a while. I just thought it was another of Splatoon's quirks. This actually makes sense, though. The reticle is the size of Neptune? Well, I guess it could be worse. It could be the size of Jupiter.

[@ashelygordon669]

[@aquamarinerose5405]

Was going to say something similar myself. It's a bit gaudy, but it does get the point of being this well-crafted blade that acts as the closest thing you can get to a Master Sword.

[@BigKlingy]

Chugga's view of the razor sword vs gilded sword is how I felt about the ultimate armour in Ratchet and Clank 2. Sure the 2nd-best armour has less defense, but I always kept it because the strongest has an unremovable helmet that covers Ratchet's face, even in cutscenes, so you lose all his expressiveness. Much later games made the helmets optional or at least removed them in cutscenes.

[@JN1306]

Thank god I am not alone :)

[@MasterFenril]

Just something to consider: not everyone runs optimized abilities on their gear. Sometimes they're out to grind chunks or are trying to level up gear even if they're willing to risk their rank for a sub-optimal setup. Yes, even now. I actually came back to the game and played again recently and realized I never maxed out every piece of gear (like I did in S1), and that's mostly due to Merch and various types of gear I ordered. And then I get into 'one more game' syndrome not realizing I should switch out maxed gear for something not yet leveled up....

[@seansean792]

[@Typi]

Range Blaster, I remember it being pretty decent in the original game, but it certainly got blasted into oblivion. At least they felt bad and kept burst on the Grim lol. Welp, fun fact time. The returning Sheldon's Picks weapons in Splatoon2 reuse a few assets from Splatoon1. Most obviously their models, however they also use the same icon renders as they did in Splatoon1. You can easily tell on some weapons, such as the Bamboozler Mk3. However, the most obvious is the Heavy Remix, which was not redesigned to be more like the Splatoon 2 redesign of the base, ironically enough it wasnt remixed. Not only does the Remix not have a new model, but the Hero Splatling also uses the same base as the Splatoon 1 Splatling. This is the only weapon which has 2 completely different model bases for the same weapon.

[@matthewstorrs7084]

Can't blame you for having difficulty finding the stage. It was the last one I personally found in my play through. Regarding the haircuts: I assume those aren't really "haircuts" as such, but merely the inklings/octolings chaining their tentacle shape. Cephalopods even in our world can change their shape drastically, so it stands to reason the denizens of this game could do it to give themselves "hairstyles". My head-canon is that "hairstylists" in this game are just designers/teachers who provide the instructions for specific "hairstyles" for an exorbitant fee.

[@elistillexists6287]

actually, about the hair thing; squids are one of those animals that can regenerate limbs, like most lizards and their tails. so that’s probably how hair cuts work ! they also don’t really feel pain, not like we do :]

Chuggaa dunking on the Range Blaster was an excellent way to pump up ProChara to slay with it. Reverse Jinx? Range Blaster is pretty redundant and weak in this game, but the Grim has an excellent kit for a Blaster so I can see it having plenty of situational use which this video did a pretty good job of demonstrating.

[@adriellightvale8140]

4:00 There is an animation or two that addresses that, along with what happens to the hair after it's been cut off.

[@Y0G0FU]

The difference in movement and Situational awareness in Chugga a pretty good player and Chara a Pro player is still big :D he makes this rather bad Weapon look damn good. Would be interesting to see what he can pull off with a Weapon thats considered excellent.

Off The Hook News Wave Part 28: Sheldon: Salutations fellow Inklings. I'm Sheldon. Annie: And I'm Annie. And this is Off The Hook. Sheldon: Tonight, the new kid brought in a friend name Pro Chara to wield the Range Blaster. Their team played seven rounds of Kelp Dome, and one round of Snapper Canal. Records say they won and lost some games on Kelp Dome, and won on Snapper Canal. Overall, a great showing on both fronts, especially with a sub-par weapon. Annie: In other news, the mystery kid was once again spotted heading into Cephalon HQ. News-squids have tried to send a camera inside, but it was shot upon entry. However, as long as that kid keeps going back in and out, we should have our Great Zapfish back. Sheldon: With that, that's all for today. Remember. Sheldon and Annie: Don't get cooked, stay Off The Hook. *cut* *meanwhile* Beax: Troops, defend the line. Don't let those Octolings get past. Marina, Pearl. This is your chance to run. Marina: What? You're just gonna stay back and take it? Ned: Us Octolings look out for each other. We'll hold them off while you two escape. Marina: Guys, you don't have to fight them, you can... Sally: Marina, listen. You've got a life waiting for you in Inkopolis. We don't. Barbara: This is the life we chose to live, and that's how we'll go down. Marina: Beax. Beax: Yeah? Marina: Promise me. Promise me you'll come back. Beax: ... I promise. *hugs Marina* Now go. Go live your life. Pearl: Come on, my chopper shouldn't be far from here. Marina: Be careful. Beax: We will. *Pearl and Marina run off to the chopper* Unit 67: Boss! Their escaping! Mack: What!? Go after them! Unit 39: But there's still 15 seconds before the area is exco... Mack: I don't care! Stop them! *Mack's troops advance* Beax: Hold the line! Don't let a single one get through! Sally: We're each need to take out about ten. Barbara: Stow your fears, it's now or never. Ned: We'll win this. I know we will. Pearl: It's just over here, hurry! Pilot: What took you so long? Pearl: Shut up, and fly! *helicopter begins taking off* Mack: *pulls out Wii U Gamepad* Perfect. *tap* *Mack's troops stop advancing* Sally: Did they just, stop? *Helicopter gets high in the air* Pilot: Hey, are you seeing this? Pearl: What is that? Marina: Is that, *realization hits* Inkstrike. Inkstrike! *Inkstrike lands on top of Beax's troops* Beax: Brace yourselves! *SPLAT!* *All of Beax's troops collapse from the low-tide Inkstrike* *groaning in pain* Mack: *approaches Beax* All according to plan. Unit 48: Uh, boss? Their still escaping. *Helicopter flies off* Mack: Cod dammit! Where was that second Inkstrike! Unit 15: It's under maintenance. Mack: *face palms* Great. Round up these drifters and take them to Octavio. I have a feeling he'd like to hear of this escapade. Mack's troops: Yes sir. Mack: Just you wait Marina. *puts on shades* I'll be back.

By "maintenance" you mean blew up trying to get to the location, right?

@@yokai59loi36 Yup.

I have an interesting story for Snapper Canal in Rainmaker. I was playing normal ranked and the intro map scene took super long. The other three on my team proofed and 3 on the other team proofed leaving just me and one paintbrush on the other team. We saw each other and both did a “wtf is going on dance”. I grab the rain maker and just run. He painted to my base and back, but I made it just in time to KO. Till this day I have no idea if it was hackers or some freak accident that made a 1v1

[@gamecubeguy01]

5:47 For not that bad of a level, I think this might be the most you’ve died in the campaign so far, Chugga! Haha

[@ZeBanded]

The amount of complaints gives off a lot of Chara energy, and its unsurprising given chara's involvement. And just like all range blaster players, including me, we'll play the weapon despite its numerous flaws and procced to complain about it This weapon actively deterorates my mental health and i love it

[@theonewhowatches869]

On that note about animals losing limbs, I once watch a chicken amputate its own leg when it was caught in a fence

The cat in my profile picture died last November. He always liked to sit on my lap too, especially when I was playing video games on the couch. I love you and miss you, Lars.

[@PalPlays]

Looking fresh, Chara!

[@Shockwave527]

"An easy Sunken Scroll" This level took me so long, so many tried, because of that sunken scroll. I kept jumping over and either failing to make the jump, getting knocked off by a bowler, or running into some other issue, running out of lives, and having to play the whole level from the beginning again. Screw this level and your "easy" sunken scroll.

[@dulcis.sanguis]

[@jaydenyamada2916]

Cat updates are extremely important.

F for the Range Blaster, I suppose. Poor thing. I heard it was bad, but wow... It really forces one to play slow, huh? At least the Grim Range Blaster is blessed enough to receive the Burst Bomb which has enough synergy to allow the weapon to actually do something with any flexibility. The quick aiming of pro players just wows me so much. Like that shot at 34:39. Looks around, barely takes even an instant to register that someone's there and just flicks the aim over and already starts turning back before the hit even confirms, and indeed the shot lands directly. It blows me away, tbh.
