Splatoon 2 - How to Use the Squeezer and Foil Squeezer

This is my video on the Squeezer.
Also a lot of the files associated with this video got corrupted when I was nearing the final stages of editing, so this is a "better than nothing" type of video, in which I replaced the stuff I was going to use with cringey stuff instead.

Also Main Power Up is good on the Squeezer, I forgot to say that in the video

"Now. Special metion to damage up..."

[@Zedprice]

Uhh, while we're on the topic of just playing Jet Squelcher, MPU on Jet increases range, shot velocity, and accuracy on the Jet. So....

[@SorellaKez]

one thing abt Main Power Up: Shooter mode can 3 shot if your first shot (tap shot) hits with I believe just a sub of main power

[@madelinebernal6546]

not to mention, on confined stages, like walleye warehouse, thermal ink is actually relevant

dude i love squeezers. its one of the best weapons imo. it has versatility for inking turf and for long range attacks. i really like using it in turf war, splatzones, and tower control. both the kits are decent, but id love if there was more.

Magic Man Cool!

[@lilo_we]

Did they started a "Revive the Squeezer" campaign over in Nintendo HQ and hired you for that? I mean, this is the n-th video within the last few days about this weapon. To be fair: Your video is the most comprehensive and entertaining one.

[@blopblep1179]

Some good points here, Cap! Other ideas for gear: Ink Resistance. You could use a little bit of this since you don't turf very well. Special Power is TERRIBLE on the vanilla after 4.3.0, but INCREDIBLE on bubbles. Main Saver is a good choice on both variants, but be careful not to invest in too much. Seriously. I'd use a balance between Main Saver and Ink Recovery, say, 3s of each as opposed to 2M Main Saver. All Recovery can work, though, since you're not a very ink-intense weapon. Object Shredder is a NECESSITY on the Foil. Run speed isn't necessary since you don't need to do tons of strafing with such a long range. Definitely some Special Charge or even Tenacity. Possibly a little Special Saver if you're more support-oriented than anchor-oriented. Sub Power Up is meh. With your range, bombs are mostly a close-range weapon rather than a long-range, and while Splash Walls can benefit GREATLY from it, there's other more valuable abilities you ought to invest in instead unless you have extra slots. Definitely NOT Quick Respawn. You're not a slayer. A little Quick Super Jump can go a long way, too. 2s or 3s is enough for your role, really~

[@BotanistJeff]

If you have good aim and want a weapon that can take advantage of it go for the h3 or, if you prefer to play more aggressively go for the splash-o-matic. It has amazing turfing abilities as well as the potential for a very fast kill if you can hit all of your shots. If you have amazing aim you can use the neo splash-o-matic and go for those epic burst bomb directs.

[@marcoshalfoffstore5092]

Thank you for following my request, I shall reward you with a smile : )

[@excaliburzx1134]

The Squeezer I’d say is like the Battlefield 4 (or whatever Battlefield games the weapon is in) AN-94, where the first two shots come out fast with rapid fire on while the other shots come out a bit slower but can also be changed to burst and the two shots are fast while the Squeezer has one shot that goes a bit farther but all the shots after spray everywhere

[@ANDRES-vt3iz]

As a Foil Squeezer main, this is painfully accurate lmao

[@lolwut1174]

3:14 Ah yes, I love drinking PepPepPep

[@gronnlundfrompaga1775]

wel here are some other gear options: comback--comback is an efective ability to get more special once you die and can be realy useful on the Foil Quick Superjump--it is the best ability in the game even when only using 1sub, no reason not to use it special saver--1sub saves 8,9% more of your special and 2subs saves 14,6% more special, do I need to say more? bomb defence dx--1sub can help you survive 2baller bumbs and alows you to keep armor if you get hit by an indirect bomb explotion and 2subs alows you to tank a fizzy(the strongest sub in the game)and survive main power up--1sub makes it so you can hit someone with 1long range shot+short range shots and get a kil, so can help if someone tries to get in your face p.s. you stil a weeb if you use the Octobrush~

[@mattstat716]

1) Comeback buffs a lot of abilities for about 30 seconds after dying, which is INCREDIBLY useful for a variety of reasons. No reason NOT to use that. 2) Quick Superjump is... eh... It's only as good as you use your superjumps. Sometimes it's just better not to superjump at all. 3) Special Saver is kinda niche and only really good for Booyah Bomb, Splashdown and Bubble Blower... since those can be lost before full use. 4) Bomb Defence DX is alright, I guess, but you really only need one sub of it for anything. 5) Main Power Up is cancer if it buffs damage. (Also it never allows weapons to oneshot, caps at 99.9) 6) Octobrush is broken, yes, but it's also the only fast-inking weapon with Ultra Stamp, so...

[@RyanSumthn2]

1: true for the most part, but some weapons such as blasters don't really need it; ink efficiency perks aren't really needed, run speed is useless on it, and it can't paint for shit to charge special quickly enough 2: everyone uses at least 2 subs qsj, especially in high level play 3: excuse me what, that shit be meta 4: true 5: eh 6: uh mini and l-3 paint extremely well what

[@gronnlundfrompaga1775]

@@mattstat716 2, quick superjump is the strongest ability in the game as it is literaly good on every single weapon in the game and their is exactly 0 reason to use anything over it as it needs such smal amouts, watch Sorins video on it to understand 3, saver is insanely good on everything that does not have a trash special and unles the main weapon itself already paints alot and/or have a low cost for special you should be running it~ 4, you are half right~ 1sub is stronger overal however 2subs is a stronger option sense you get everything 1sub gives and it alows you to take fizzy, survive triple burst indirect and baler tap folowed by non lethal explotion~ 5, no 6, it is anoying and easy to use, not even close to being broken~ I hate when people are incapable of actualy seing a diference

[@catguy4996]

I know. The sploosh o matic is so underrated, I mained this weapon for a while. If you're the type of person who likes to sneak up on opponents due to short range, but power of a splatling, then the sploosh o matic is gold.

[@alexstewart9592]

9:00 Xenoblade Chronicles 2 version 2.0.2 Adds Aux Core "Massive Melee Mythra", which combines being Critical Up VI with a small cosmetic change to Mythra (specifically to the area of her costume just below her neck). Also, the two most powerful "Blades" are in fact Fiora and Elma, the former because she has a passive that adds a constant 40% to everyone's crit rate (that is, increases 10% crit chance to 50% and 60% crit chance to 100%), and the latter because she comes with Overdrive, which you may be familiar with. Oh, and did I mention that both of them let Nia and Morag cast an incredibly useful healing Art, while still offering two incredible DPS Arts that make them serious contenders for top DPS in the game even before accounting for how they boost the DPS of other party members? Oh, and how the DLC includes custom difficulty, which lets you massively nerf Chain Attacks, Healing, Special buildup, Party Gauge buildup, and Blade Combos, the most ridiculously dangerous foes in the whole series with the Land of Challenge and Bringer of Chaos difficulty, which sets everything in the custom difficulty sliders to the most ridiculous settings possible?

[@catguy4996]

Hey Mr. Astronaut, have you done a video like this on the Sploosh-o-matic yet? You could start off by saying how much it sucks to be the shortest ranged weapon in the game... but then moving onto the pros. The sploosh-o-matic may be short ranged, but it has incredibly fast killing, high mobility and turf coverage, a good kit (not on the neo version though, that one has a terrible kit).

First off, when do you ever see a ballpoint in the air? Or a mini? P much never. And the ballpoint's accuracy really didn't matter, (it IS a minigun.) especially since it practically had the same as the mini splatling. It was overall just a better mini.

[@asaltedpudding4041]

@@mattstat716 do you use the mini exclusively, or do you use both? The mini uses much less ink, has more accuracy, and charges faster. The ballpoint is a better weapon, but that's only because the mini was always garbage. The reason nobody used the ballpoint before was because it was given the literal worst sub and special set. Nobody complained about the weapon before, its the new set it has that's really good.
