Painting Faster So Your Team Can Push First 

if only dread had a special we wanted :(

@@durdleduc8520zones cheese 😎 I would’ve used nTri because there are techs to paint faster for cooler but it now has 210p 🙃 There’s also blob which can paint really well.

I love your content Gus, unexplainable to explain my gratitude.

In my head I imagined like an actual sports coach 😂 saying something like "hey bud, you get special faster by wigglin year aim up and down" before walking away prideful in the difference he's made. 😂😅

​@@thatguykekai2601XD I love that so much

@@thatguykekai2601 thats basically how coaching in splatoon works yeah - I'm at the point where I've done coaching sessions for my casual friends to - all it really is is giving pointers and watching other players reviews to get a feel for what they need to improve on(ofc you need to be strictly better mechanical and skill wise for the advice to be helpful, hence why i only do it with close casual only splatoon friends I have)

@@Alphine_Agnitio I'd argue you don't necessarily need to be a better player, just capable enough to identify areas of improvement. Top level players are coached by players who aren't top level, after all :)

​@@rainsparks29for me I'd rather be 100% confident then confidently spread misinfo/bad advice(even if with good intentions) and having the results and experience that I currently lack is a big part of that

ooooooo, thats a nice tagline - wish I'd seen it sooner

It was on the US Splatoon 1 website! Sadly it’s been updating to always reflect the newest splatoon game

I have a few videos on backline positioning as well as a guide curated by Devvy listing positions backline weapons generally benefit from taking. Here's Devvy's guide: drive.google.com/drive/folders/18DJQyzQX8uyQclkWDmo30MZCa9egrZ7w Here's a video on backline positioning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WyajDIOxMPo.html and here's a video on changing your positioning according to the flow of the game: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dziVLyZkspQ.html

As a Flingza main, I get out in front on a direct route to mid to take position for the first fight, and vertical flick maybe 10 degrees left and right as I go, so I have missiles ready when I get there

i will say i think the only rollers that will be painting special are flingza and big swig. swig would be spamming horiz, flingza spams flings.

Is "be" sarcastic Or "very"

If it’s YOU who isn’t letting me win in Ranked, you’ve got a lesson to learn. Watch out.

@@BrothersCourage I'm in B i don't think you're talking about me

@@tompeter717 Meanwhile, I used to be in S although once we reached the new season, I dropped back to A+ so now I need to retrace my points back to where I left off. And occasionally others don’t seem to let me…

@@BrothersCourage Yeah i was A but dropped. But i only Play Dynamo i zones and rainmaker, so IT aint me in Tower or clam

One of any Blaster's weaknesses is that they aren't very good at painting, both supportively or aggressively Try to position yourself so that your shot takes as much turf as possible in as few shots as possible, but don't play a Blaster like a painting weapon 👍

Well said; there's not a blaster in the game that would paint for special fast enough to compete with something like a short range shooter, so counting on it to lead the first special push of the game typically means you're surrendering tempo to the enemy team, which will get their first special out faster. Learning to paint efficiently is great, and much simpler for you than for a shooter player, but this really isn't your job in orthodox competitive play.

For Tower Control, use Clash Blaster! Just make sure you’re not in the same room as me…

tip: you can throw a bomb in an empty area when the match starts to make up for the weakness of blaster paint

I only make videos like this when a topics come up multiple times in multiple lessons. It was a lot more than just you, even if that was something we talked about

imo farming crab at the beginning of the game and adapting depending on how ur team is doing could be the best strat in solo q as it’ll give you a heavy initial advantage

one of the biggest strengths of Splash is its flexibility. it can be the slayer, support, or anchor at any notice and it can do those jobs very effectively. so in my non-pro opinion, there aren't very many wrong ways to play the weapon; but it's important for you to keep in mind that if there's a hole in the comp, you're probably the weapon best suited to fill it. you don't have to be just slayer or just support. for instance, if you find your team is struggling on rollout, you can start with a supportive/anchor playstyle and farm crab up quickly for the start of the game, and then switch to slayer once you've got the advantage. focus on what stages of the game your team struggles with (opening, retake, push, defense, etc) and consider how you could behave differently during them. it could also be possible to do this thinking on the fly in soloq, just based on the weapons your team rolls. that being said, i'm not a coach and not great at this game.

thank you both for your help, I should probably focus a bit more on getting a higher crab output, and will work towards improving that.
