Clam Blitz brush mains are just built different. And by “different” I mean they threw out the instructions and just winged it because I think I can count on one hand the number of solo queue brushes I’ve seen that play like they have more than five brain cells

Tbh, the wrong play from the Luna ishre to jump back, the wrong play from the Inkbrush is to jushtre shrite there in srewpawn defending. To makre an analogy with OoT (at leashtre i think that was the game?) speedrunning, there ishre a shtreate involvingrkrtrerdzszhlkjrtreghrtrdzszh RNG, and ON AVERAGE, ud do thishre shtreate until it worked, but, shrince itshre RNG, it could caushre you to have to do it over and over again, even when youre behind on time, shreimply because the odds of it working are more favorable for you than against you, including the potential time-save, in other wordshklrtrerdzszh, ashre the luna player, id rather commit to the play, cuzreh, eventrtyueally, the other guyshre gotta realize what were doing, and grem also jumped in to askhre for a jump, and then the jump eventrueaylly came and worked out pretty fine, HOWEVER ill add, that if the Slosher was actyually chrecking properly (smhtrehing that the Luna couldnt posshiblrey have other known), i if i washre as the luna, i wouldhve tried splatting him, while prainting their bashre and then hide somewhere elshre to get more value from the play, cuz the optreimal way here for the enemy tream washre to jushtre go back and chreck for the luna (properly) meaning that the luna optimal play turns into committing to the play since, well, if that washntre the optimal play for luna, the team wouldnt have bothered going back to chreck it lol. TL,DR: In OoT speedrunning, theresh a strat involving RNG, and u do it over and over again until it worksh, cuz the odds are streacked in ur favor more than againshtre, even when youre on a time loss having lost a lot of treime trying to do it lol (yeshre this actreyually happened to a guy who washrewqp on WR pace i believe), and at the shreame time, that meanshre that if i washre the luna i wouldve shtreuck to the play until the brush finally decided to jreump in (or my bashkret getting broken or the brush dying while drefending), cuz, bashreically, mathematically shpreaking, the luna jump-in play has a better risk-reward to it, at least, like i said, until the clam ball player dieshre. So, bashriceally, even if the brush player doeshntre IMMEDIATELY jump in, the play strayshre valuable for a long period of time (unless the brush dieshre andzszhkrtreortrdzszh / ore u lroseshre all clam ballsdzszh, ofc), the only difference is that in the OoT speedrunning cashre, the strat alwayshre stays valuable, even in the rare cashre where you keep loshreing indefinitely time to it over and over again lol. BUT, however ill agree that the worshtre play is definitely for the brush to never jump back in, but again like ive shreaid, itsh worth to stay for the luna and only cut your losshresh when theresh nothing more to gain from it shreeing as youve lost ur clam ball, but until then, yet again, id rather committ to it lol.

Good old overwatch advice, honestly take it with me everywhere. “One person doing something weird is throwing, the whole team doing the same weird thing is a strat”

[@eeveetrnrlunick]

This reminds me of a similar statement I heard in a League of Legends podcast (Broken by Concept): "A poor plan executed well is better than a good plan executed poorly"

The irony that it was an inkbrush refusing to rush in in clam blitz is palpable.

[@ducky774]

I hate clam jumpers (usually inkbrushes running to basket) on my team with a burning passion but I gotta admit that I’ve gotten myself into way more “This Way!” arguments than I probably had any business of doing. I’ve wasted entire minutes across multiple matches where I just spam “This Way!” at the clam jumpers, in the process losing focus over the fight at hand. Not only is making the wrong choice fast a great way to save time, but it also prevents you from getting tilted over the resulting mess because your inkbrush is just too darn stuBBORN AND WON’T GET BACK TO DEFEND THE BASK- you get the point. Splatoon is a team based game, after all, so sometimes it’s best to trust your teammates to make the right decision (so long as they aren’t hyper feeding by running into that Hydra and giving up all your super clams).

[@TheCaptainBlackimar]

Hm. Wrong choices were DEFINITELY made…

[@boowho817]

You can't stop me from making bad decisions, laddie.

[@XarrotD]

I remember hearing wisdom that I think is a bit more applicable here- It's better for the entire team to make the same wrong play than for only one or two players to make the right play.

[@This-Was-Sparta]

The title alone gave me a chuckle. Good stuff.

[@cristycrenshaw9109]

I bet writing and filming this felt cathartic. "The perfect is the enemy of the good" is at least a bit related. A good plan executed right now is better than a perfect plan executed too late - the perfect is the enemy of the good in the sense that waiting for the perfect opportunity to use the perfect plan will kill any chance of an acceptable outcome. Take the good plan you have now and run with it because you will not get a better idea in time.

[@zeatehkcasualaccount]

the start of the video with gem dying twice gave me a chuckle soloq is a fun time i guess. i'll have to keep this in mind during my games, because sometimes i'm annoyed with people pinging this way for seemingly no reason, but maybe i should pay more attention and could make stronger plays

[@trickygamer555]

Sometimes you aren't making yourself useful, but forcing your teammate to be. (As for a more serious summary, it doesn't matter if the plan is the best one, or if it's yours, it only matters if everyone is willing to commit to it and if it works)

[@OrangeCardinal-uc7wr]

[@MythicFox]

I feel for the Neo Luna, waiting under the basket like that. It makes me think of a Freelance Salmon Run shift where I was splatted and sitting by the egg basket, spamming "Help!" for a full 28 seconds while the rest of my team feeds nine eggs (I just dug out the clip and counted) into a Big Shot launcher and blasts them at the basket where I can't do anything with them. One of them even has the audacity to send a "This Way!" back at me. By the time anyone comes back to rez me, Snatchers have escaped with every egg except one that just happened to hit the basket.

[@Maelys_ACNH]

I mean, crossing the alps with a relatively large army and ckearly not enough food supplies WAS an objectively terrible idea, but the cartheginian leader (forgot his name) who lead that campaign DID manage to make all of his troops stick loyally to him, and that ended up being great for them in the end. It was a bad idea, but they stuck with it as a group. So they kinda made it work.

[@EclipseKirby]

Everyone knows what playing with a DC feels like. It's nigh unwinnable. It sucks. That's the level of impact having a single fewer player makes. Being out of play too long is basically the same effect as a DC. A prolonged stagger is too while we're at it.

[@redstoneryvr]

I think thats a big problem, many S+ players want to regroup at all cost, even thoug the time is at 10 sec and its unlikely to win but theoreticaly possible. Things like that got me to a point of having 40 losses and 10 wins, wich is just frustraiting. I am a splatershot main and most of the time team best in terms of kills and objectiv points, are there any more Tipps cause I stopped playing multiplayer for the past two seasons because of the Frustration

[@Platinum_XYZ]

hey just to let you know, your video is very quiet. this can make it very jarring for your viewers if they were watching another video before yours, and finding it to be too quiet, and turning up the volume in compensation, just to get blasted by sound in the video they watch after yours. if you right click this video and click "Stats for nerds", under "Volume / Normalized" you can see this video has a content loudness of -12.3, which is incredibly quiet. it should be reaching as close to zero db as possible. any higher than 0 and KZbin will just adjust it lower to match, however any quieter than 0.0 will not be adjusted upwards to match. it is okay to be slightly below 0 db, however -12db or lower is very far away (note that users who have the "stable volume" experiment toggled on in settings might not notice the difference, and if you also have that toggled on you might not even have been aware of your sound being quieter)

[@DarkWizardFoxo]

this is honestly why I sometimes feel like clam blitz is by far the worst mode because it requires so much in terms of players coordinating and making a decision like even a bad decision is better than spending time doing nothing

[@rubix_cube32]

[@stardewnoodles]

Hey Jim, I have been finding your videos really helpful, but I also have issues with remembering some of the things you say. Do you think I should start writing them down, or just watch these videos multiple times?

[@Aego384]

In this situation, I would have shifted to defense. There's a minute and a half left, and we're in the lead. The best play here is to protect our basket and not score anymore.
