A wild Sly appeared!

[sly_snivy]

Hello there! I am Sly Snivy, and you can call me Sly. I have been with the Splatoon series for awhile, and it has become one of my favorite game franchises. I am a Slosher player through and through, as I have played them ever since they came out in Splatoon 1, and they now comprise most of my mains in Splatoon 3. I'm also partial to Dualies, but mainly the more midline range ones. Right now, my weapon pool is Slosher Deco, Slosher, Glooga Dualies, and Neo Machine with some experimenting with Custom Douser Dualies. Despite how long I've played the game, I've only recently started getting into the competitive scene, participating in tournaments with a skill cap with a team I helped form. If you've got any tips for getting more into comp, I'd love to hear from the comp players among you as to what would you have done differently when you first started playing in that team environment. That's all I've got, and while I don't anticipate being crazy active, I appreciate having another way to interact with the Splatoon community!

welcome!!

i’m a low-level comp player and honestly the biggest thing i would’ve done differently starting out would be to play in more tournaments. i think a lot of us, me included, start out feeling like tournaments are Serious Business that you should only enter if you’re hellbent on Winning, so you gotta train for weeks in advance and uncapped tournaments are out of the question, but now i think that attitude just limits the practice you can get.

Hey, welcome to Squidboards!

If you've got any tips for getting more into comp, I'd love to hear from the comp players among you as to what would you have done differently when you first started playing in that team environment.

I have a number of things I could say, but my big suggestion is this - every time you play the game, try focusing on something small, but specific with your gameplay that you could work to improve with. If you go into a game saying "I'm going to position better" then that's not going to lead to much. If you go into a game saying "I'm going to position closer to the objective line," that's a much more attainable goal there.

Otherwise, you're in the right place for this kinda thing! There are a good handful of teams here that are in a similar spot to where I'd imagine yours is, so you could definitely get some scrimmages with them some time. That kinda practice can be very valuable. I've also done a fair amount of coaching for newer teams before and would be happy to review any replays that are sent to me, plus I'll host occasional tournaments here too that are both smaller and basically skillcapped even if there'll be a bit of time until the next one of those.

If you have any other questions you're free to ask! Hope you enjoy your time here.

Good to note! If the team gets a particularly interesting replay, I may take you up on that. The tournament sounds like it would be up our our alley, so I'll be waiting to hear more about it!

Yes, Slsoher mains unite! I would say though the minimum falloff damage buff they got in Splatoon 3 far outweighs the recent ink consumption and points per special nerf. It's just so consistent now, and I get plenty of Strike still.
