Through my searching of the Squidboards Forums I noticed that there are a bit of techniques and terms used for certain plays or actions. So I decided to compile the ones I found into one thread.
Burst-Canceling
Burst-canceling mainly works with the Carbon Roller and Slosher as the technique is to throw or 'flick' a burst bomb then flick your weapon to make a quick splat. Also referred to as Slosh Bombing, Flick Bombing, etc. Not to get technical but it works by animation canceling. As you throw the bomb you flick around the end of the burst animation to make the splat or KO making quick unlike the pause to flick your weapon twice making it slower to splat your target. If you want to go technical about it and have a video guide then you can check out this video made by Nintendome.

Squid-Trotting
Squid-trotting is another way to move stealthy throughout the map during a battle. It's mainly used for players who doesn't want to use a slot for the ninja squid ability but still want those stealth splats in battle. While it is technically slower than tilt swimming and ninja squid its much more easier to use it during the stress of battle and yes it works with the swim-speed up ability. To use this technique just press forward on the left stick and let go about a quarter of a second. Repeatably do this and you got Squid-Trotting. It give you a burst of speed while not making any ripples in the ink while you trot. Don't comprehend with text or want to know numbers and mathy stuff? Another video made by Nintendome explains with visuals.

Flick-Snipes
Flick Snipes is used mainly for the charger and its basically hiding you line of sight form other players so you can surprise snipe them quickly and effectively. This technique should be a given to most charger players but for those who don't let me explain. Chargers have this laser sight that other players can see in battle and when another player spots the laser sight their first instinct is to swim away or depending on distance fight back. Flick-Sniping is hiding or redirecting the laser away then quickly aim at the opposing player for a quick splat. It takes practice but eventually it will come easy. Its recommended you start with the Squiffer (Classic or New) then build up from there. While it is harder to do it with a scope, Its possible to do flick-sniping with it.
