The amount of negativity that you bring to Squidboards disturbs me, @Setu. Seriously man, lighten up.

 

[Graff]

There are techs, then there are glitches.

 

[Zoot]

A lot of people are getting excited by the idea of being able to find something new and coin a term for it before anyone else. That's just the natural progression of the hype train, and if people are having fun with it you should just let them, man.

 

[Reila]

There are tricks and stuff in most games, competitive or not and I doubt Splatoon is the exception. That said, the name "tech" is really really lame and it brings with it the image of some of the worst aspects of the Smash Bros competitive community. I think it would be interesting if tricks and strategies in Splatoon had a different name. Perhaps some punny name, since the game is filled with puns.

Squid Tricks. Squicks.

Ex. Hey, man, check out this Squick I found last night. Did you hear about that new Squick? Eh, it doesn't look very useful.

 

[Dirty Duck]

I really don't see how the simple word technique carries the weight of the negative aspects of a scene

See? Much better.

A lot of people here came from the Smashboards, so after years of playing Smash, hearing the word tech brings up a whole different meaning for them. But I do agree for the most part that technique can be used anywhere, but we might as well have fun with the squid puns and make our own jargon. =P

 

[Setu]

I just don't understand why the word "tech" has to be used since it is only a term used in the smash community. And techs were not meant to be in the game, L canceling wasn't meant to give less landing lag than usual, it was used to air dodge and shield. I have no problem with the "history" of the word tech in the smash community, just with how if was only used in the smash bros series.

 

[Lozjam]

I agree...
Squicks sounds like a lot better name and it will differentiate us from other communities

 

[Dirty Duck]

Squick sounds like an olde English dinner

It's not. You must not be involved in the Fighting Game Community, because literally every competitive fighting game (Tekken, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Marvel, etc.) all use the term "tech". I don't know why you have an agenda against the competitive Smash, but using tech in Splatoon is perfectly fine and not forcing it. It's used among other competitive communities and seeing as this community is going to be made up largely of Smash players (Squidboards even being linked to Smashboards) it's common sense that people will try to carry over the term.

 

[Terabyte]

It seems a little too early to start coming up with all these techs. I mean we've had access to the game for less than 24 hours at one hour periods, I think we should wait a bit before calling all this stuff 'advanced tech'. d:

 

[Nico Nico Sleep]

Let me show you the tech that I tech'd when I was teching that brand new tech that they just tech'd.

 

[Dirty Duck]

Technically that isn't tech, technically.

So is there going to be a big debate about the analytics of the word tech or is someone gonna lock this up then? I feel like it's only going to devolve into complete drivel

Or we can just agree that Squicks are going to be the go to term for these things.

 

[Zoot]

I like squicks. Can we all agree to go with squicks?

 

[DigDeep]

Or oooor! We could call them technicals! Tentacles + Technique!

Wait a minute...

 

[Dirty Duck]

Let it be decreed, that on this day, "Squicks" was born.
(Also some demo happened or something, but nobody cares about that.)

 

[GamingWarthog]

You guys do realize what squick means, right?
