Guys I think this might be my favorite update in the whole splatoon franchise. It's definitely my favorite for 3.

just a turf wars 1v1 that went on long enough to be interesting

Did I just 1v1 the top 500 player twice in the same location o.O

Actually, this is kind of an interesting game to analyze for a particular moment.

With about three minutes left on the game clock, we are going to lose. We’d previously been wiped, we (cough, I) are staggering, and this is a 2000+ XP lobby, so there’s no reason to think that the pressure would let up. But the Hedit puts the cooler in a kind of inconvenient location, and every opponent retreats to pick up the drinks. They surrender a ton of territory and pressure, which allows us to stop staggering and mount an offense.

It’s just a good example of how positioning is absolutely king. Cooler is a powerful special, but it’s more important to be in the right place at the right time.

Sick triple bro. Still have to kill me though.

bonus: the pov of the naut because I thought the way I rounded on the wiper looked crazy

Boggling at the third splat in this clip. In-game, it was absolutely deliberate – I predicted the opponent’s movement and aimed where they were going to be. On rewatch, I cannot do it again.
