I think it's satisfiying using an inkjet and reviving all your teammates while causing mayhem everywhere
Or finish an inkjet to find three life rings around the landing spot.
@Flamingo Ringonus wait, your getting good teammates?
Flamingo Ringonus lucky you
Flamingo Ringonus i believe your an S rank?
I get Japanese players a lot in League and yep I never get good teammates.
You know, another perk with the inkjet is that since you’ll jump back to where you activated the special when it runs out, you can safely grab a far-off egg and bring it back to the basket with ease if you activate the inkjet near the basket.
Round trip ticket, as Cali and Marie call it.
@@JakoBpyroTech lol
I acctually do that sometimes
Those moments in salmon run where your on the last wave, your about to die, time is running out, and your far away from your dead team so you throw a bomb to them and save the day
*Best Moments*
Or use your stingray from the very corner of the map, reviving all your dead teammates. Manage to pull that off & you feel like a god
Oooooooooh the glory.........
@@PixelCollie oh my god you're still alive!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😍😍😍😍😍
tHe little "wAH" at the end i-
Congratulations your first, you did what I most desired, yet you did not state it...

Hmm, I'm already a proFRESHnal in Salmon Run, but a little tip here and there never hurts.
I mean, I'm professional 600, and I still got something out of this video.
@@arcee9661 profreshional*
I just got 500 hurray
Im just fall from profresh becuase 70IQ party
I’m a profreshnal 100
I always just forget to use my specials and die. Then precede to facepalm at the fact that I could have saved myself.
It's no use... wait nvm, its Of use! Use the specials :p
Same
IceGrill _ every time i have a bomb rush i panic whenever something gets near me so i end up using bomb rush faster than any other special
Hold It! I have a use for inkjet so basically use at as a tp point either at the eggs or the egg basket, use this to your advantage!
oh my god, SAME,
My advice for specials:
Splashdown: Save for Rush waves, and if you don't get a Rush by the third wave, use it on Steal Eels.
Bomb Launcher: Also use during Rush.
Inkjet: Use only when you're the last man standing.
Sting Ray: Save for Mothership, and if you don't get Mothership by the third wave, use it for Grillers and Flyfishes.
What I usually do is splashdown for steel heads bomb launcher for rush sting ray for wave 3 when you are getting overwhelmed and ink yet the same
The concept of saving specials is a horrible idea. If they make sure you are not losing a wave where your main weapon just barely wouldn't, use them. There's nothing wrong with arriving to wave 3 without specials, because it means you made wave 3 in the first place and you might be lucky and get an easy one.
You can kill a fly fish with the ink jet?!?! Wow i didn't know that... Thanks👌🏼
With all the specials, actually (and the explosher, too.)
@j Well, not really.
you have to look at the "logic" the game goes by
explosher, bombs, and inkjet all have a explosive mechanic
stingray, and grizzco slosher can penetrate.
Sloshing machines follow neither of those rules therefor not breaking the fly fish's baskets
@@nicoornelas5676 you saved me that explanation, thanks.
If anyone was wondering, blaster shots, despite being explosive, don't work for the Fly fish.
I agree, the inkjet is best in all situations, survivability, anti-Boss streaks, quickly grabbing a far off egg (especially on Ark Polaris), and don't forget, if your stingray player doesn't attack the mothership, inkjet is the next best thing, with about the same DPS (damage per second) against the mothership. Honestly, why wouldn't you be biased towards it?
Plus it's super easy to kill Steelhead with this special.
The big reason the Stingray is so good against the Mothership is not only because it reaches it from anywhere, but also because it very easily breaks the coolers and splats the chinooks right as they leave
@@galaxykitsune also it makes the mothership leak gold eggs, possibly from the Chinooks as you mentioned
@@JakoBpyroTech Yeah it's from the Chinooks, but it has to be from the right angle or you won't hit them and the eggs won't drop
Welcome to back up tips with me!
Splashdown: Make sure you prioritize in killing bosses you know you can kill without missing your special. You only have two per match, so use them on bosses that have you can kill 100% of the time
Sting ray: It's common knowledge at this point, but if a mothership decides to show it's ugly mug around you, sting ray it when it tries to go for the egg basket. It can also kill grillers
Bomb rush: To be fair, Vasko basically covered everything in his video, but the bomb rush can be used during fog to scout out areas if you have something like a charger or splatling
Inkjet: Prioritize in killing bosses with your attacks since the meatier of the normal salmonoids (cohocks, I think) die in 2 shots instead of 1. Also, avoid using this during griller. If you get locked on to, using this special will keep you safe, but you'll have a hard time killing it
I'm so glad u made this video bcs I know how to use my specials but there were many times where my team just barely survives the final wave and once its over every single one of my teammates uses their special to party and its like, bruh why not use that to not almost lose instead of partying, so yeah good video, I hope in salmon run people will be using their specials more wisely now
they barely made it out alive, you don’t expect them to party..? they almost just lost profreshinal!
My tips for specials:
Stingray is also pretty helpful when finding the goldie as it makes it drop a bunch of eggs
Splashdown is a good way to regain turf area if you're being overrun by a bunch of salmonids
bomb launcher
And Jet is good all around, us it as a panic button or anything you like
“And I am NOT at all biased” hmm I am questioning that statement
Nope, bias what so ever
DJ DeZ -17 no
Alola Vasko, Thank you so much Vasko for this training video.
I will try to use these special more effectively and not make them go to waste.
Lillie Personal Notes:
Splashdown is my personal favorite in the whole game actually, I use it as a mass revival, Panic button, make a fast path or crowd control.
Bombrush to create a pathway for my teammates and even a defense move.
Inkjet is so much fun to use, personal uses are on bosses and revival.
String Ray really stings.... I personally don’t use it, Save it for something else.
If I ever do I’m safe space, and use it as crowded control. It the laser that will pierce the heavens. I actually sacrifice myself and get surrounded so my teammates can fight a bit more.
He’s back awesome
Also nice music from 3H
He’s a man of culture, that’s very nice.
It's been a while since you did salmon run video
I know right?!
Vasko Games WHERE THE WOOMY WERE YOU!?
i just forget about my special-
reviving your teammates with sting ray is best on salmonid smokeyard
Wait, I'M EARLY! I THOUGHT THIS WAS A OLD VIDEO! YAY! *something funny*
Same
SAME
How did you guess
Same
Seriously
Vasko I just realised that you forgot to mention, only use your specials when absolutely needed. I was just in a match and I saw someone use their stingray on one single scraper in front of them. Only use your specials on overwhelmingly big crowds of salmonids not things you can do without your special.
yeah it seems like most people either don't use their specials or use them at weird times XD I guess picking a good timing for when to use them is the hardest part
I actually 100% disagree with this. There are only 3 waves. And if things can start to get out of hand really fast. So to actually use a stingray to kill a fly fish that is very far away or in a bad spot isn't bad at all. Better use them early, before it's too late.
Thanks for all the helpful tips Vasko! This will help me last a few seconds before my whole team gets splatted!
I always forget my specials, till wave 2 or 3. like i forget my subs, till we start loosing in ranked
Well this was timed well Happy little workers
I actually saved myself from falling using an inkjet in salmon run because i got knocked off into the water but I had enough time to realize "I can save my self using an inkjet" and if I died our team would've lost
One important thing to note is that with the inkjet during the griller, fog, cohock swarms, and glowfly modes, you can use inkjet to fly on the water without returning back, and it’s really good if glowflies are on you so you can become untouchable and shoot them simultaneously.
1: If y'all haven't figured it out yet, every special can kill flyfish. Flyfish are the most dangerous salmonid and thus you should do whatever you can to counter them.
2: If you remember to splashdown or inkjet when the time is right during the glowflies special event, you will be totally fine.
3: He kinda grazed over this one but if you have stingray during the mother ship round, use it once it gets semi-close to the basket and eggs will fly EVERYWHERE.
4: Bomb rush can be better used to kill things if you throw it at a steel eel's body or dead teammates because those cause them to explode on contact.
5: When flying with the inkjet, if you are near the basket or some eggs, go into squid form to fall down and pick up/deliver them if nothing is currently threatening you.
6: This is just a tip for using bomb launcher at all: People always forget that you can charge your throws to throw farther and use your main weapon while it's still active.
7: Inkjet shots explode upon touching the ground, and can be used like a blaster to kill scrappers while they are facing you.
8: The inkjet's thrusters have a hitbox and can kill salmonids and revive teammates.
9: The hovering squidbag is the best salmon run party option.
I haven't played the game in awhile but this video made me want to jump back in I'm so glad to see that you're back
When the ‘I wish I was joking’ info button came up I died 😂
4:19 PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS!!!
The few times the timer was extended just enough to survive, or the bombs literally reviving someone and their i-frames meaning they are safe for a bit, are so incredibly satisfying. Very helpful during Goldie Rush for this reason.
These saves should happen more often, but they don't... People would rather run away than act like part of a team :(
Also, needs confirming, but I think if you throw a bomb behind a Scrapper, it splats them. You can ricochet them off walls and get their butt splatted that way!
Not super reliable, but if you're like me, you have teammates that ignore Scrappers until they die to 3 at once...
Wow this will really help in salmon run thanks vasco
Vasko publishes Salmon Run video. “Oh, nice.”
Vasko putting Fire Emblem music to it: “Each battle a chance to grow!”
3:01 also applies to turf and ranked! I usually superjump back to spawn to use stingray since I can still do damage and stay safe :)
Ooh, nice tips. I'll agree that Bomb Launcher is the worst special for Salmon Run. I have trouble finding good situations to use it in. But it is a good crowd control and teammate reviver.
Additional Inkjet tips: If you get pushed into the water, you can activate it if you're fast enough, which will save you from certain doom. Sometimes. Also, since you can swim while using Inkjet, you can grab eggs with it active, too!
Vasko is just slowly making a full course on splatoon and splatoon 2 info and basic tips. i support that stuff though :)
I find your voice overs incredibly soothing
this is very late, but i would like to say that if your team has used both stingrays and you get mothership, inkjet is a great counter. equipping it at the correct time, you can kill the mothership before it even makes it to the basket.
Ink Jet doesn’t always end when you go above water! It treats the ground hidden on higher tides as still flyable terrain, meaning you can actually make some crazy maneuvers in high tide
I personally think Bomb Rush is really good at clearing things surrounding the basket and getting your allies back in the fight if they let the basket get overtaken. It doesn't have great boss killing power and really only kills Steel Eels and Maws well but it has a lot of power behind it when it comes to the regular salmonids and keeping the situation more under control
Good video as always vasko!
I’ve been waiting for the video and this did not disappoint. Great Vid Vasko!!
The splat bomb launcher is Super Good at stunning scrappers so you can go behind them and finish them off with your main weapon (you can use it while launching the bombs) and is also really good at killing stingers
The Ray can splathop just fine when it needs to move. It can also "Ray-strafe". Not an overly uncommon scenario that I bust out a Ray only to kill 1 boss and then move away, waiting for it to end. Also feel like you're underrating Bomb Launcher against Stingers quite a bit. Getting out 3 (or even a safety-4th) bombs quickly from distance isn't bad, also works at close range if lessers are spawning on them. Don't forget that you can hold R to increase range, and that makes it possible to hit Stingers from halfway across the map (example: Grounds high tide right grates Stinger is reachable from the top middle platform.
I'm really glad that someone was able to make the sting ray look better than I can
In the salmon run mode of grillers you can use the ink jet to sit above the basket and not get splatted by the grillers. And the grillers go directly to you instead of your landing spot to so you can safely sit on the basket
The video I didn't know I wanted until I saw it this morning. Thanks, Vasko, I'd say this is the kind of content I enjoy from you. Now I'm just waiting to see your reaction to the true ending of car quest.
Wait there's a TRUE ending after the post game?!
@@VaskoGames well, there is a choice between 1 of 2 actual endings, either one could be the true ending, depending on the players opinion. (I may have worded my comment a bit wrong . . . ) Also, I tried looking on UA-cam, there was no video that involves either ending.
5:09
“But you can jump over with the jet’s mini boost”
*instantly dies*
Glad to see you back, I like your videos and these how to tutorials. Hope to see more!
Powerful moves that let you jump in the water making jumping in the water look cool bruh
Such a good stream. Thanks fir playing with me and noticing me!
This was very helpful! Thanks Vasko!
You got me with the fire emblem music
inkjet is super vulnerable in the start up animation, i always die right away when i use it 😏
I was playing salmon run yesterday and some guy probably watched a video similar to this saying “use your specials on the mothership” and he tried to use splashdown on it, *he a little confused but he got the sprit*
They were trying their hardest :'D
At least I know when to use my Specials when doing Salmon Run. Sometimes my teammates never use them and we get creamed in the first or second wave. Plus, even if we survive all three, then they do like you said and just spam them in celebration at the end. I don't understand some players doing that when the difficulty is around hard to very hard based on ranks in the Salmon Run. I'm only a ProFRESHional 400 as I haven't tried going all the way to whatever the next ProFRESHional milestone is and reaching Hazard Level MAX since I'm usually paired with teammates that don't know how to use their Specials properly.
Vasko: this is how these work-
Me: splashdown is for saving all 3 teammatws
I just want to have ink armor or the bubble blower in salmon run... Imagine making a huge push using the bubble blower in conjunction with the ink armor against a horde of salmonids.
Return of the salmon run king
2:20 It's an explosive sack full of the steel-head's saliva. (Gross, I know)
That was really a good tutorial and display of sploon skills. Sadly, there will always be some players who just don't use their special, but I bet your guide will really help those who want to git gud. Also, I either didn't know or completely forgot that you can't fly over a steel eel with the best special (inkjet).
watched this video and right after I played some salmon run, I was the only one alive and used the stingray to save my teammates and we won, thanks Vasko-
3:17 Whoa! That's me! Boricua!
Thank you also for letting people know to protect the sting ray users. Many don't do that! I'm a splat charger main as well.
And, boricua is more of a nationality. It's synonymous to Puerto Rican, in which I am. Just a fun fact. 😁
Eyy that's really cool!
GGs :) And thank you for the fun fact
Yas new video thanks for the information Vasko😉
I discovered all the sting ray tricks on my one but I'm happy that others can learn what I do
Satisfying moments of each special (in my opinion):
Splashdown: Getting those sweet sweet Splats on the Salmonids tryna gang on you and reviving teammates (and getting those dumb Stingers)
Inkjet: Using it while you have Glowflies on you and watching the Salmonids’ Pathetic attempts to hit you
Stingray: Can these Salmon heads get THE FRICK out of this lane, *PLEASE?* (Let’s rave)
Bomb Rush: *LET’S GO BE FRIGGIN BOMBERMAN ON THESE FISHES BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*
imo my favorite part of getting inkjet is when I can kill the 3 stingers bunched up in the corner that no one else bothers to kill, or the 3 flyfish grouped up for a similar reason
using a splashdown at the top of ruins of ark polaris will clean everyrhing and it is SO satisfying
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay vasko is back!!!
(I think) Bomb rush can be used to get the most DPS against Grillers since bombs insta-explode off of them so keep that in mind
a good thing to do with the inkjet is to use it by the basket and then fly over to an egg and when your special is over you have an egg and your right at the basket
just found your channel, and love these kinds of videos. keep up the good work!
I always think "I need to wait for a more dire situation to use my special" then get splatted
The return of the king
With inkjet, you can activate it at the basket, run to an egg that a noob is guarding, splat some salmonids, and then BOOM! It explodes and ur back at the basket, risk free
That really helps or at least the bomb rush one did. I always look at my specials and sad that I have bomb rush. Have a good day and thanks.
Welcome back
A bomb == a life? Whaaaat lol. These tips were super useful!!!
"Got 3 stingers lined up on shore? One Splashdown later, and the stingers are no more." Pure poetry 😭💕
Me at 4:44
_nervously sweats because of Apex of the World_
Therapist Dua Lipa inkling cant hurt you, she's not real
Dua Lipa inkling:
I learned a lot of random stuff in this video that I hadn't known before, & I hope more people watch this video so then they'll actually use the inkjet against flyfish :p
Another great video vasko!
In my opinion, the Inkjet is over all, the best special in the game. Just like the Inkzooka, it has a really long range, and good power. The only problem that I really come across with it is going in face-to-face with multiple enemies (for some reason, if I'm being picked on by a single enemy, I somehow always manage to One-shot them in hate to survive) The typical problem with the jump location is not the case with me because I start it out in a hidden corner or a unnoticed ledge.
YEAH VASKO
The thing on the steelhead’s head is a BMOES (Bomb Made Of Explosive Saliva)
PARTIES ARE GREAT VASKO ITS THE CELEBRATION 🎉 CHANGE MY MIND 😁 Also inkjet my fav 💗 it’s very effective and I can fly out the lost outpost windows congrats on 30k 😊
true true, but you only need one special to party ;)
I guess ur right lol
It would be pretty cool if you could use other specials like ultra stamp or booyah bomb in salmon run
Important: When using a stingray on mothership, make sure you aim for the CENTER AND TOP of the ship. That’s where the chinooks spawn
Nice fire emblem music
Gotta sneak in my love for them rpgs in somehow :p
The steelhead bubble thing is a spitBOMB lol (backed up by lore)
I always save Stingray for the flyfish.
The specials last longer in salmon run than in turf btw and the splashdown is bigger
The only thing I use bomb rush for is partying, when I’m in a crowd and there is the splash wall guy, and finally, the revive my teammates
Ye so we not talking about that the snake salmon or I dunno the name of him got a mask after the last splatoon 2 update
Try to save your specials for the last wave, it's the hardest wave to win.
I'm not saying don't ever use it, it's just smarter to use them in the last wave.
Usually i save my specials until 3rd wave
I’ll only use em before 3rd wave if absolutely necessary
The three houses ost's 👌
I used an inkjet while glowflies were on me, and had a weapon that I was terrible at.
If Vasko said that the stingray's are babies, does that mean Vasko is also a stingray because he's baby?
I am no longer baby, I want power
Nice
2:22 vasko games its called "big gross saliva bomb"
Sometimes when things look like it's about to get rough, i use my special to basically tell my teammates "you have specials to use!!" and then they actually use their specials an manage to save them self's. Nothing worse than loosening because you teammates didn't use their special to save themselfs🤣
Yay! Vasko upload! (I must have my upload charm on me today)
Also will you do a video or stream to celebrate the fe3h anniversery? (By the way I'm currently trying to do a weakness only run for the game and it's a great challenge, I got the idea from when you did it.) Also congrats on 30k!
UA-cam's AI suggested I answer with "I'll Try!" "Happy Birthday!" and/or "Tomorrow!"
Umm I'm not too sure, I do love me FE though, but my internet has been super buggy the past couple of weeks (hense the lack of streams). Thanks and I hope you enjoy the run
@@VaskoGames Yeah UA-cam's AI is pretty weird. If you do decide to do one have fun!(really either way have fun though)
“Jumping into water look cool”
thought I was the only doing that
