I want to be lean and mean.
I was that rear end in a top hat in Half-Life Deathmatch who would hold onto a live hand grenade and run after people to frag them. Aerospray MG + Baller is pretty much the same thing and I'm having a blast. I do agree with Fetus, though. They need to increase the special charge for that weapon at the very least, maybe to 220+.

Splatoon Koshien tournament ran last weekend at Aichi prefecture, and Nintendo did a report on the event with some comments from the producer. If you missed it, the streams of the public and team finals were also published.

Public final: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2_1VvevFRA

Team final: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_kvKOVbgSI

Finals were in a best of three format. Both feature a heavy reliance on Aerospray RG.

One of those weird coincidences happened in my last Salmon Run just now. I was sitting in the lobby with the other 2 players and said out loud to myself, "poo poo, I definitely don't have time to get a beer." Seconds later- I poo poo you not- a player named "Beer" slides into the 4th slot.

This is so you and your friends don't go into games and stomp on a bunch of uncoordinated children. It's annoying but among all the questionable things Nintendo does I'm 100% onboard with this having been that group in the past.

If you are trying the same tactic over and over, and it's not working, the answer is not to try it yet again. The answer is to try something else entirely! If your grand plan hasn't worked for the last several attempts, what in the world would make you think it'll work this time? Adapt to the changing circumstances of the match and act accordingly instead of trying to shoehorn in your sneaky routes.

I think you're forgetting several maps can just be outright locked down at the far spawn by a competent team.

Also, it's OK to get on the tower even if there are still a couple enemies around. Especially if all of your team is still alive, and you haven't moved the tower at all so far.

I'm not sure what this has to do with what I said. Like I'm talking about an absolute refusal to learn from your mistakes. And even then, lockdowns like that don't really happen for the entire match unless we're playing really badly.

speaking of tower control if you have splash walls as your sub then learn how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBLn06725E4&t=33s

People love to throw themselves into meatgrindery poo poo. Look at the battlefield series, Metro and the prison level were easily the most popular maps in 3 and 4. It's instant action I guess. Personally I can't stand it, and prefer situations where I can flank and out maneuver my opponents to hopefully come out on top. Rather than trying to win through sheer luck/attrition.

That elephant ate my entire platoon.
Making my way through the A ranks and "hmm, I don’t see any teammates, I guess I should blindly and singlehandedly run at the objective instead of retreating and waiting for help, also why are my teammates' names constantly appearing on my screen??" is apparently the main strategy.

(Granted, I had no idea about the "buzz your teammate while waiting to spawn" feature for ages.)

This legitimately pisses me off. Like okay, if you're the only one alive and their whole team is up, don't go off diving into your death. But 3 of them are dead. Why are you all painting the enemy spawn!? Why are you people so afraid to play the game!? There is value in defensive play, sure, and making mistakes is costly. But the most successful teams I've seen in S+ are the people that aren't afraid to get on the tower. Hell, I've won several matches because the enemy team was afraid to get on it, even though we were all dead.

Also don't be afraid to take risks. Making mistakes is how you learn what works and what doesn't. There's absolutely nothing to lose. Oh, you're about to derank? Oh boo hoo, now you get to have the easiest 10 matches of your life, what a tragedy. If you really belong in the rank above it, anyway.

I had an apoplectic fit today when we lost a rainmaker game by a point today even though with 1 minute left we team wiped them and popped the bubble and no one picked up the rainmaker. I was in a special and kinda far so I couldn't take it but I was jumping around spamming this way/booyah, figuring the two teammates next to me would get the message but instead everyone ran away and we ended up losing. Insane.
