as shown in the clip, this is also really good if you have a teammate who can follow up

[@OctagonalSquare]

This is one advantage to shooters with a bit of shot spread. They make it so you naturally cover a bit of the escape routes even when aiming at the opponent, and give you a wider area of coverage when blocking their routes

[@DiegoG2004]

Shooters keep winning even on the tip not directed at shooters -_-

[@TheCalabiYauManifolder]

Obviously we conclude that Aerospray is the best weapon in the game.

It's great watching this become second nature as you try to 5 star your weapon

Me with S-Blast be like:

[@WizzyPuff]

You know how it goes, you cut off their escape route, then the range blaster kills you instantly

[@GreatFernicus]

This is one of the reasons I love Triple Inkstrike, I can just say “no you’re not going this way” and chuck one of them at whatever choke point I like

[@TheBoodercg]

My add-on to this tip is to make sure you’re using all of your ink tank in fights. Most of the time, people will use a bomb to cut off a route and forget to use the last 30% of their ink tank when they could have followed up and secured a push. In any case, especially if a teammate is nearby, you should be practicing how many shots/swings your waeapon can do after a bomb. This knowledge should be used in the case of retreat/a push/stalling. If you’re planning on using your bombs as random killboxes to deny entry then make sure you use your shots from your weapon to further investigate which habits come from your enemy in response to the aggression. You waste a lot of time and don’t get as many specials when you spam bombs. The whiting frames post-bomb throw don’t allow you to recover ink fast enough to merit the strategy, its better to paint around after throwing a bomb to circumvent whiting frames, be more efficient with your time, cover more routes from the enemy, and most of all - secure more specials.

man, i really had faith in him esp with his vid about the jackpot situation, it feels like every other week someone in the community gets outed for being an awful person

I’d wait before passing judgement. I read a document with screenshots of her exposing him as abusive and he was being anything but. You can read the document yourself in Squid School SA Allegations? on r/Splatoon, it’s a link in a comment to the thread. The impression I have after reading it is that Six isn’t credible and seems manipulative tbh and this is her side of the story which is biased toward her. You should read it yourself and come to your own conclusions

I woke up early in the morning and the new audio makes you sound so surreal

[@XeroTeirsynth]

I have an essay to add to this! Yay me. I’m an Inkbrush Novaeu main, but I’ve recently been learning to use the Wellstring V (super original choice for baby’s first ranged weapon, I know). Anyone who’s played a Tri-Shooter knows that they charge relatively slowly and the crystals(?) take a bit of time to blow up. This is something I have to get used to in place of spamming buttons. As a result, I have learned that I: 1. Should not always have to be directly in the way of danger to splat an opponent because I’m not literally two inches away from them. 2. Have enough time to actually think about strategy while in PVP… usually. 3. Can use the placement of the crystals to influence where the opponent is going to help teammates or lead them into a range where I can one-hit-splat them. Tri-Shooters are extremely annoying to play against because the crystals will get everywhere and limit your options in terms of where you can go- like a wall of sorts. Generally, the best thing you can do in that situation is move away from the direction that the shots are coming from and find a spot where you’ll have a better advantage. Opponents moving forward to engage me is how I’ve gotten plenty of splats as of late- I use the crystal placement to lure someone toward me, I set down a narrow line of crystals, and they are too focused on aiming at me to notice that they’re about to get blown up. It’s all about timing and placing traps relative to the opponent’s speed. In conclusion: I love the Wellstring V.

we rlly cant have shit in this fuckin community huh

[@Aego384]

I'm really hoping these allegations aren't real...

There’s photo evidence of a restraining order made against gem and splat safety have confirmed authorities were involved in the situation, it’s real

[@polecat3]

​@@mashedspudWhy did they take no action, if they knew that?

[@MythicFox]

@@polecat3 If it's gotten to the point of police investigations and court involvements, saying or doing anything publicly gets very legally dangerous. For instance, taking public action could potentially open them up to a defamation lawsuit if it tanks his KZbin career before anything is settled legally one way or another.

[@dannotation9557]

the same applies to smash a little bit. Instead of throwing moves at your opponent, you can make educated guesses on what they might do and cover those options

[@platonic_polyhedra]

everybody knows what leading your shots is bro

[@jeffycat5414]

You can also learn people’s preferences for dodging and follow up with what they normally do. If you are unsure you can condition them in to dodging a certain way first by only attacking them on one side than switching it up.

[@Weebdotexe]

you also should lead your shots, aim where theyre going, not where they are

[@JettiSplat]

As someone learning Wellstring, this seems like the modus operandi for it and Tri-Stringer too. Just instead of the projectiles being slow you just have to account for the long range.

[@dark_moth7]

The secret to getting more assists without getting in-game assists. 🗿

[@Platinum_XYZ]

this really clarified a lot of stuff about how people can use weapons such as kraken and stuff. thanks

[@FortyTwoBlades]

I main Vunder and cutting off movement options is one of the key strats not only for being able to take them out with the main weapon, but also for pushing enemies into mines to reduce TTK.

[@timcrnkovich4326]

u gonna get banned?

[@lunar0275]

hopefully

[@didgeridooo]

Most likely not, he'll def be shunned out of the community tho

[@Oktosushi]

The (disgusting) things he did happened irl and his content doesn't really go against any rules so he probably wont be banned Community def will not accept him and I hope he will eventually quit because of that

[@Ashlyn-fc1cs]

Well, it is possible that he got defamed. I think we need to wait for evidence to come to any real conclusions

[@badingott]

The new microphone sounds really good and I like the way the shirt is edited.

[@ollimarz]

Guys you might not know this but in a movement based shooter game you should try to aim for where the person is going to move and not where they are directly standing still! 😱😱😱This is an incredibly high level tactic that all of the professionals use!!!

[@DiegoG2004]

Point at where they want to go, not where they are. Then accidentally smack where they are anyway because jump rng. Can't just shoot while standing either, my strafing speed does not exist

[@lilnug653]

this is also dating advice. interrupt them whenever it sounds like they're saying something you don't want to hear!

[@Grxblrg5757]

See, I'm not missing, I'm just covering their escape routes.

[@SquifferMain]

I main nova and use it for kills (I got 16-0 in turf war with it once)

[@LockyLawPhD]

Provided that your teammates know the importance of painting the floor. At 1700, I still find that few players know its importance. If no one paints the floor, then it doesn't matter far left or right to aim, the opponents are free to move anywhere they want.

[@opal3957]

don’t address the allegations, ignore them instead!

[@Hyprst]

he's addressed them with the worst fucking "apology" (which it isnt even)

[@MythicFox]

If there's a police investigation going on (which it sounds like there is), it's legally dangerous for him to say more than the bare minimum, if he has to say anything at all.

[@jvdos]

⁠People continue to act as if hes a bad person for not saying much, but this is being handled by the law from what i can tell. Thats why he didnt say much and why the splatoon saftey counsil is pausing the case. Not everything needs to happen online, or even in the public eye.

[@HeDronHeDronHedron]

If you think he should say anything that might incriminate him when he’s not even been proven guilty then you’re a dumbass

[@harmless9336]

Personally the only weapon I feel is slow in this game is blob. The other "slow projectile" weapons are still undodgably fast.

[@smolmuffin]

Good technique I need to utilize more (which this advice reminded me of) is aiming for walls/cover/corners, etc where the blobs can bounce off and hit someone by proxy. Tends to catch people off guard, especially if you are also cutting off their escape routes at the same time.

[@AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
