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. sendou.ink/u/sambews

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. #compsplatoon

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 dying is bad 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

You aren't special, and neither is anybody else. Everything they can do, you can do. They started in C- just like you, and only stand so high above because of hours upon hours of dedication. Hours you can put in too.

One really interesting dichotomy I've been experiencing as I fight higher level players more and more is the idea of playing scared.

showing that when a teammate makes a mistake, there is no rule that says that the team has to back off completely and regroup; being close but not close enough to die lets one take advantage of gamestate swings more easily youtu.be/eAeUHIkmShI #compsplatoon

I just won my first d4 playoffs match! I ran entirely QR shot and had some of the most fun I've had with the game in a while. Huge shoutout to my teammates for being so awesome. I love you Coral Convergence <3 Also featured: ending the set with the dumbest quad I've ever gotten
