Thanks for this guide! Usefull guides for Splatoon are astoundingly rare to find and most other brush "guides" are all like "lmao look at how fast this guy is. And up close brush is soo deadly look at how i obliterated this guy that didn't see me coming", but getting detailed tips about the gameplan with this weapon is impossible to find. Well, until now at least :)

[@onewingedakira5190]

That's partially what got me to make this in the first place. Informative brush content is few and far between, especially from the perspective of competitive players like myself. Going forward that's something I'm hoping I can make steps to solve.

As a wannabe competitive player who has loved Inkbrush ever since it was put in Splatoon 2, something I've always felt was missing was a well made and easy to access guide for Inkbrush, to the point where I've wanted to make one myself. But I just watched this video and this is exactly what I think is needed. I can't really agree that vanilla and Nouveau are as good as each other -- maybe against comps that can't shoot through the Stamp, but that quirk just ruins its potential when the only other thing you have is Ink Mine, whereas Splat Bomb and Killer Wail solve so many problems for Inkbrush -- but your advice is honestly flawless. Perfect rundown of abilities, perfect description of Inkbrush's gameplan, and a really good list of weapons to pair with it. Hell, you even gave advice on how to make Inkbrush more accessible! I can't thank you enough for making this video, because this is exactly what I think future Inkbrush players need.

i'm incredibly late to the party but this video is so useful. i love the inkbrush, it's such a fun weapon to use, but i'm not the greatest with it quite yet lol. i adore how much you've broken this down, thank you!!!

[@ascendedbaguetteman5842]

You got my attention with brush advices, you get me subbed with Fire emblem ambiance music hope to see similar content in the future 👍

[@KaleDaWail]

Great guide! I'll be sure to share this with other people interested in inkbrush 🙏 Happy to see more inkbrush content and I hope to one day add on to what you've discussed! Ty for the tips and epic footage 🫶

[@onewingedakira5190]

tyty. When I was trying to learn brush back in the day, there was no content out there that could help me learn and it's fair to say that I was really bad at brush (so bad that a certain player would use me as an example of how NOT to play brush lol). Going forward, I'm hoping I can turn this channel into a one-stop-shop of how to brush so I can share what I've learnt over the years

[@someweirdo_o]

Bro I’ve been praying that we would get a good brush guide and this is perfect🙏I know I’m a little late but this video is everything I needed ty bro!

[@stardasuperstar895]

This was a pretty in depth guide! I really like playing with inkbrush so I've been trying to do some research on how to play better.

[@onewingedakira5190]

tyty. I know how much of a pain inkbrush was for me to learn back in the day so I hope it helped

[@tonyfata5151]

Genuinely one of the most in-depth guides for a weapon on yt. Amazing job (2 months late lol)

[@korkad_]

Oh my god I remember that double brush nouveau wahoo world game what a callback

[@korkad_]

also wouldn't you say ちゃちゃ is a notable brush player, surprised they aren't in the description

[@onewingedakira5190]

You're totally right. completely forgot about them but I have now added them to the description (as well as Hatano who I also forgot)

[@pinatapaws]

thanks for making this, its super well made and rly helpful!!! …i gotta change out my abilities now LOL

[@pinatapaws]

OH i already watched this video apparently HAHA. update, i just hit A rank :D the abilities have helped a TON

[@onewingedakira5190]

aayyyyyyyy congrats!!!!

[@MagmaMonika]

Shld we expect one winged angel to play whenever we see an upload from you 🤔 jokes aside thanks for guide !

[@onewingedakira5190]

lmao. might have to do that one day

[@freezerburning]

im about 100k p away from getting 5* on nouveau as well as having 5* on vanilla and theres some things in this video i didnt know about :3 ill be sure to use this new info to grind out permanent inkbrush (copium)

[@onewingedakira5190]

tyty. I'm also on that permabrush copium. praying that we get it and that it gets kraken

[@freezerburning]

@@onewingedakira5190 either kraken or triple splashdown would be so fun 😭

[@VeeVibin8373]

It should get burst bomb and triple splashdown

[@VeeVibin8373]

Do you finger mash? And If you do, what techniques do you use?

[@onewingedakira5190]

This may be a bit of a disappointing answer but I don't have any special technique. I just press ZR as quickly as I can. When I started playing brush my button mashing was pretty slow and it took a lot of time for my button mashing speed to reach what it is now. Don't push yourself to button mash faster than what you're comfortable doing since nothing is slower than not being able to button mash at all due to an injury. If you are genuinely struggling to button mash tho, as discussed in the video, you can use the switch's in built button mappings feature to attempt to make things easier for you.
