Hey all, I'm a mid level shot player. I love talking about the game, so if you ever have any questions feel free to ask. I post clips here occasionally, with no promise on quality nor quantity.

Sick of hearing people bitch about Splatoon. If you don't think it's fun... don't play. If you do play, stop complaining about how unfun it is.

The better I get at this game the more I realize how important bravery is. It's game five, overtime, and my gut is telling me that the best play is to take an even fight with the decav. If I die the game is ober. I'm *terrified,* but I can't afford to hesitate. No second thoughts, I need to be brave

I want to addend this by saying, for most levels of play, as long as your comp has a gameplan your losses are likely due to midgame decisions.
Yes, different comps influence the game. No, you aren’t losing on weapon select by going no cooler or going ttek over vshot in Low Ink.

dying is bad
it doesn't matter if you were distracting people
it doesn't matter if you were coolered
do things without dying
jump out or disengage sooner
don't do things where you have to die in the process

unless you like gambling, then go ahead gamble on your teammates' success

I think generally glamshot is going to be worse than TTek/VShot (which are just worse than VSplash), but it's going to have a niche as an aggressive short range weapon. Burst bomb + a continuation special is everything shot needed to fight in the current meta

A really interesting part of game sense/vod reviews is frameworks/patterns. It's so hard to understand what you're doing wrong until you find the pattern, and then it's obvious every time it happens. A lot of improvement comes down to just finding the patterns, which is wh- oh my god the word count

Don't forget to love the game. To get good you're going to reduce it down to its bare components and grind countless matches. It will stop being new and novel. You will suffer demoralizing losses/loss streaks. You *need* to love the game in order to be good at it or there'll be no reason not to quit

pushing up without specials after a lucky early kill, using specials after a teammate dies to let a teammate back in and blunt their momentum, and finally fully retreating after multiple teammates die
