Camp Triggerfish Shortcut

[Cynda]

This would be really useful for Splat Zones. Pretty cool.

omg i'm gonna try this out

 

[Ikieri]

I assume Swim Speed Up will help?

I think its just the timing of hitting the bumper on the first jump

Looks like you bounce off the first bumper and aim to land on the next.
This is totally useless in tower control, but this shortcut looks super helpful anytime else.

Being that I generally use .52 Gal Deco in Splat Zones, I've already done this quite a few times. It's definitely a nice shortcut for seekers as long as someone on the other team isn't doing it as well!

Actually you "short hop" onto the near edge of the bumper, slide until you gain momentum, and jump right when you feel that momentum kick in. Straight up jumping twice is a lot harder and frame precise.

If only you could jump between the two sides of Bluefin depot...

You can in tower control (and obviously splatzones).

You can in tower control.

Well you can walk across the gap of triggerfish in tower control as well as access side paths that are uninkable in other modes. I wish they put in blocks so you can get on top of the freight containers in port mackerel besides using the tower since they took out the fork lifts, but overall I like the tower control versions of the maps (or maybe I just really love the mode as well.)

I played around with the trick for a little while. It's possible to do by just standing on top of the bumper, jumping up in place aiming to land on the middle and tilt forward right before landing, then jumping near the far-edge of the bumper to make the gap. A helpful visual cue for practicing the jump is the splash of ink your squid makes from landing on a non-inked surface. Also it is possible to do this with a "full-hop" before crossing.

The jump requires relatively zero momentum using that technique but as for the method shown in the video I've found that using swim speed up increased my success rate with the jump; however, swim speed is not required. This jump is probably not going to be useful since getting hit by any form of enemy ink or swimming over a spec of enemy ink will make it impossible, but it might work since I doubt anyone would expect it in the middle of a game. Personally I wouldn't consider attempting this in a match due to the likelihood of dying but if anyone gives it a shot in live matches let us know if it is successful or unfeasible.

Note: I didn't try using any subs to test if that makes the jump easier to do (Whoops forgot! ;D). The explosion from the seeker may aid your momentum but unfortunately I did not test this.

Technically it may be possible without swim/speed and / or opening gambit but then you will arrive there as a target no doubt. Did anyone use it in game yet?

We can put it in a mutual fund, then reinvest it into foreign currency accounts with compounding interest...

Aaaaaand its gone.

Its all gone. Please step out of the line.
