In this game, I know it's best to be as aggressive. However, there's sometimes a fine line between being aggressive and being reckless. When does delightfully brutish turn into woefully stupid? Is it when someone with a weapon with a longer range notices you, and you just rush the fella down? Is it when you don't notice the enemies, and you're about to go into a large area full of their ink? Is it when you decide to take on a Splattershot toe-to-toe, and you're using anything else that doesn't out-range it? I use dualies a lot, so I think accurate judgement of this is helpful.
Here's a situation I was in for an example: I was playing Rainmaker in Kelp Dome. I went to the choke point between the middle and the enemy spawn to scout for enemies. The Rainmaker was behind me, and my allies were dealing with that, and one enemy. Behind the choke point was three enemies that just re-spawned. Two Splatlings and a Rapid Blaster Pro, and I was using Splat Dualies. Unfortunately, they noticed me, so they were cautious about progressing (especially since I just splatted a couple of them). What would be the best course of action? There's a few approaches:
1. Go Rambo and rush 'em down!
2. Stay at the choke point and hope to take one or more out when they go around the corner.
3. Run away!
4. Go a little further back and attempt to ambush them from a different location, since the corner is kinda obvious.
5. Regroup with my allies and hope to take them out when they get to us.
I ended up choosing 1, and I defeated them all like a boss! Actually I chose 2, and one of the Splatlings got me before I could splat him (jerk).
I know it all depends on the situation, but if you're in a situation where you know you're likely to get splatted, would it more often than not be better to just push forward and hope to overcome, hang back and put some pressure on the enemies, or get the heck out of there?
