Hypster Vol 4- Mixed Up Interviews: Team Ichiro
By Ichiro’s suggestion, the three of them decided to run a takoyaki stand. With Rosho’s black takoyaki, “Black Matter Octopus Inferno” as named by Jyushi, the shop experienced great success. Those who ate the takoyaki reported that ‘though they couldn’t really explain what they were eating, before they knew it, their plates were empty.’ Their takoyaki seems to be addictive!!
Thoughts on their teammates:
Ichiro:
Rosho: He’s an incredibly sensible person, but sometimes he comes off a little scatterbrained. It’s pretty interesting to say at the very least. *laughs* Though he’s older, I found him very easy to talk to and he seems to be the type that seriously faces things head on.
Jyushi: He’s got this way of thinking that I don’t have, like he has a real sense of individuality. Though he complains a lot under his breath, once he sets his mind to it, he’s got an unshakable courage to him. He’s a strong guy.
Rosho:
Ichiro: He’s an incredibly hardworking young man. He’s easy to talk to despite our age and has this sense of stability to him. It makes for a really dependable leader.
Jyushi: With the ease of how ideas flowed from him, I could tell he’s a very creative and passionate person. With his friendly innocence, he has a mood maker quality to him.
Jyushi:
Ichiro: He’s like a dependable older brother; I see why his younger brothers look up to him!! He treats everyone equally no matter who they are……. It makes me want to show him how strong I can be!!
Rosho: He praised me for my ideas and my customer service skills!! But he also made sure to advise me if I messed up, so he’s a really thoughtful person!!

my month long very intense study abroad program ended day before yesterday and since then my joints have hurt so much more than they even did during the program after like 16 hour days of walking and standing. I think now that I have the chance to rest it's all catching up to me and my body is just like 'what the fuck was that. Fuck you.'
And you know what? I can respect that. My joints deserve to get to say fuck you back to me sometimes

TLDR at the bottom
Hot take: The Scorch Shot is an interesting weapon that is more than a long range fire starter IF the user has good aim and an understanding of how to utilize its knockback effect
What I mean by this is if you observe how the knockback works with it, you will notice that more often than not if you directly hit an enemy with the scorch shot it will cause the target to pop up a few feet rather than knock the enemy backwards. Not to say the latter doesn't happen but more often than not the former is the case.
This has a few inherent benefits, the first and most important of which is that it severely messes with the aim of the victim ESPECIALLY SNIPERS. My theory is that the Scorch Shot is originally meant to be Pyro's answer to everyone's favorite infinite range point and click adventure hence the Darwin's Danger shield which does nothing but act as a hard counter to Pyro.
In fact, this mechanic can often be used to help Pyro deal with most classes that use hit scan/non-projectile weapons as those classes tend to require good tracking and meat shots to be effective. This allows Pyros to have a chance against something like Heavy, if not to kill the heavy but to buy time to run away as the Scorch shot will hold the enemy in place for a split second for pyro to either air blast them away or get around cover.
Going from that another, often less utilized, aspect of it is that it sets the target up to be finished off by another teammate which goes under utilized because in pub servers the person to person co-ordination is often hard to pull off for one reason or another. I've wittnessed this first hand by popping up an enemy soldier and my brother then deletes him with a donk.
In some niche cases it can even be used to flare jump. Yes it does have significantly less force than the detonator but it can be used to jump gaps that are slightly too long for Pyro to jump normally and even bypass some things that require multiple crouch jumls to clear.
Now, this isn't to say that most people out there don't use it as a means to be obnoxious and use it to build Mmmph on the Phlog (even I find that combo annoying and I Main Pyro). What I am saying is that the Scorch Shot is a weapon with a very low skill floor that has a decent skill cieling thst makes it even more obnoxious when properly utilized. It is a weapon that, with used well, gives Pyro the ability to approach from the front when they are a short range class with few good mobility options and generally most of the classes have better burst damage output than them.
Hell, I would say most classes have an obnoxious weapon that fit under the category of 'weapon that is used obnoxiously but can have some nuance to it'. Soldier's Beggar's Bazooka (Rockets go BRRRRRRR), Demoman's Stickies (sticky spamming), Engie's Sentries (especially the mini sentries!), and Spy's Deadringer (aka Spy's Get Out of Jail Free Card).
My point being I understand that the Scorch Shot can be an annoying POS when dealing with a Pyro that spams it all the time without even trying to aim and just lighting everyone on fire, but it can also be super cool weapon to use when you aren't soley aiming for Frags.
TLDR; Pyro TF2's Scorch Shot weapon is designed to be an anti-sniper/utility weapon that most people have reduced to being an obnxious fire starter that just used to annoy people
