The LEAST Painful Brush to Use in Splatoon 3

[@brebstik]

Finally, a brush that old people can use

[@marshy_man925]

Your just mad your bad at using brushes lol

[@gaminggolurk]

Not everyone is able to mash well/willing to risk hand injury for a silly squid game weapon. ​@@marshy_man925

[@TorayNix]

quick tip: don’t stay grounded when swinging, always jump ESPECIALLY with painbrush

[@riley195]

I'VE GOTTEN IN THE HABIT OF THAT AND IDK WHY. Idek where that habit came from, I just realized I had been doing it for ages outta no where??? Why?

[@The8BitLeafeon]

So something I've figured out with the painbrush is that it's not to be played with the mindset of a brush, it's a slosher. You're expected to approach enemies from high ground, and additionally the slow windup but huge range means you're expected to take on a large amount of enemies rather than single targets. Additionally, it's actually INSANELY good in salmon run if you know how to utilize those strengths. The wide range and high damage means you're able to take out massive chunks of lessers in no time at all and the roll even does just enough damage to take out smallfry AND glowflies chum. The slow windup is meant to be worked around by putting yourself in a safe spot, letting the windup do its thing, and then just shredding everything in your path. ...also bread.

[@Im_leaving]

So that's why I didn't like it

[@CaptainAstronaut]

I want them to add the Basedbrush in the next update, as a new bread brush type

[@Silent-N]

As a former brush mainer myself, I think the devs are WAY overdue to give brushes a buff to make them more viable. Although I find them fun weapons to use, I will be the first to admit they're underpoweted. The big issue holding them back is that they can't approach while swinging, and so if you fail to catch an opponent by surprise and splat them quickly enough, all they need to do is step back while shooting at you and you're doomed. It is purely ambush-orientated and cannot win in a direct standoff. This could be very easily fixed though; if brushes could simply move while swinging, much like how Splatanas already can, they'd be capable of closing the gap on an opponent who has spotted them and thus stand a fighting chance. Another option would be for brushes to have the ability to dodge-roll; this would allow them a chance to at least get out of range and make a retreat if they failed to ambush in time, and possibly even let them close the gap on an opponent for a second (albeit risky) chance to splat them. Perhaps not a double roll like the Duelies, but even just a single roll would be enough to provide brushes with the buff they need to be viable on the battlefield. If Nintendo were to implement just one of these two potential changes, it would make a great balance-fix.

this weapon is foreshadowing the new species of painlings

But what would they be?

A new Vasko video RIGHT after the Direct finished?! We're in the BEST timeline!

[@kidsquid-real]

bread brush can be a little bit hard to learn but it’s SUPER fun once you get the basics of pain down!! during the start of sizzle season, i never really played painbrush that much but NOW im a painbrush main with 4 (almost 5) stars on the weapon :D

[@JakoBpyroTech]

Ah, this explains why Mr. Games has been using Painbrush so much in streams recently. Cool bread fact.

[@CloudRunnerRex]

I love the prerecorded is more energetic than the live commentary HAHAHAH FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

[@thenintendnub64]

Personally I really like this brush mainly because of how slow it is. It reminds me of the dynamo (my main) and I find it really easy to just pick up and fight with.

[@WyattKellogg-b9m]

my personal experience with the paintbrush is the EXACT opposite, plus I'm a paintbrush main lol

[@Snomiscool]

Personally I’ve never been a fan of the brush not really my Bread and butter but the pain brush seems fun so maybe I’ll try it out next match

[@NeverEverWatchThis]

I play ink brush with a very weird hand position, so it was a relief when a heavy brush came out.

[@PWNDON]

it's a breadbrush now >:) *aggressively paints bread*

[@elisabethkahn4445]

I am an Octobrush main, so thanks for this vid Vasko! It’s only happened twice that my full power was unleashed (like one-man army’ing on a whole team, without thinking in the slightest). My full power looks like a quarter of the power of a pro Splatoon player (like you), because it only happens for like a minute at maximum. After that, I’m back to being killed 17 times a match, and I’m only half joking. So again, thanks for the vid Vasko! I will definitely give painbrush one more try! (One last thing to note, both of these full power modes happened while I was trying out octobrush, so that’s why I main it and give nothing else a chance, not even other brushes.)

[@balovr6821]

Idk why but I just find your voice so calming

[@yoshikai64]

Painbrush def needs some kind of buff. I'd probably reduce the windup and maybe end lag of the weapon to help with fighting more mobile weapons. Defiantly believe this has potential as a sort of heavy tri slosher type.

[@AirJordon]

Splatoon 3 is my first splatoon game and after about a month this is definitely my main, that delay in the beginning can suck but once I get this thing going I go to work. Nice video

[@jessejones7251]

I think adding a melee hit box on the first swing like a splatana would be a feel-good addition. I mean let's be real, if you get that first swing out THAT close to an enemy, they're dead anyway. But it would stop you from trading so often if you manage to get right on top of them.

[@Maiky5857]

Not only Painbrush, the whole brush class

[@-Hamza]

Painbrush can definitely take a while to get used to but it’s surprisingly fun! Feels as smooth as bread with butter

[@stageofhearts]

I know nothing about this game but this weapon seems bready cool.

[@salt88]

I came back to this game after months yesterday and had a blast with the pain brush. It has much more consistency and range than other brushes which make it feel great. I also had decent results. I'm excited to play more and get better with it. I always liked the playstyle of brushes. Also go rice in the splat fest! We'll beat BREAD and noodles.

[@MaoRatto]

To me, this is a Roller, that happens to be a part of the " Brush class ". As it fills, the same roles.... What do these weapons do? To me this is an ambush hit-and-run brush... That can support teammates a bit more.

[@victoraponte-jh5ke]

Bread! Never got into Splatoon but your videos are always a treat. Keep up the great work fam!

[@katmisurochi]

im an inkbrush user. the carpal tunnel is coming for my gamer ass soon.

[@Keeby.]

This brush is worse at stealth bc the wind up on first swing but its better for jsut running at people with bc the range and damage or for spamming ink onto an objective

[@tsunamikw8883]

I actually play all the brushes and I'm comfortable with the taping of the ZR button😂. I honestly like the Painbrush becouse of its range and deameg. Only thing you have to look out is that you can't play it like a normal brush and ambush peopel becouse of the start up frames of the first swing. Overall its more Mid ore highground based surfaces to get out more potential. Btw. Bread!

[@Zackgamez_official2013]

I felt like the paintbrush was a downgrade but watching this video showed me that it’s like the bread and butter combination

[@poggiefroggie]

I'm just glad my brush main freinds have something else to work with.

[@courier2353]

Best brush gameplay, sadly it can’t beat the OctoBrush when it comes to style

[@ultravulpix]

I'm more octobrush personally.

[@Adam-0011]

Bread

[@Big-Chungus21]

The finger pain is a genuine issue when using brushes, not something that should be ignored. If you’re at risk of developing Carpel Tunnel, any form of RSI, etc - no game is worth physically hurting yourself over, yet alone any specific weapon in that game. Personally I do deal with RSI quite regularly, so I dread having to use inkbrush in Salmon Run.

[@PlasticBluVentRabbit]

And I just recently got this brush too What a coincidental vid

[@OctoLeoYT]

I’m not on team bread for the next splatfest

[@firecatgaming4280]

Hey vasko, I forgot to mention when I was starting teal masks like a minute in. I got a shiny spinarkt

[@jordannelson1910]

I've had faith in this weapon since day 1

[@treinadordeledian7540]

Trash or treasure: Aerospray RG

[@riley195]

So now my question is... Which paintbrush is better? Nouveau or regular? I really struggle to tell and I want to pick what's best, as an already nouveau paintbrush 5 star main user.

[@KrabbyKing1]

That is a very peculiar looking kirby

[@tacosunbirth]

Bready or not, but i think brushes don't give people carpal tunnel, people just aren't used to working out their finger!

[@MaoRatto]

That's why I use an 8-bitdo controller, don't want to deal with carpal tunnel? Just modify the controller. xD

[@The_Moth1]

It’s honestly weird that the French Painbrush isn’t Breadbrush

[@sashasscribbles]

Tip for anyone who wants to try brushes, or even most sloshers tbh; look into getting a turbo controller. If you dont mind losing gyro I'd throughly reccomend the Hori Split Pad Pro and I'm sure a turbo controller with gyro exists somewhere

[@ShadamAran]

that's pretty much cheating.

I think I've realized something. The base brush is a pc player brush.

[@cheezy5174]

I'm not certain that this thing is good, but I definitely find it fun, which is why I main it lmao

[@best_mate456]

I’m not sure I can agree that in salmon run trash It does 150 damage up close
