Hi, I'm a Smash bros. player and a Splatoon player, and I'm thinking about speedrunning Splatoon. I just beat the single player today (the final boss is the best boss battle ever btw) and have noticed a lot of little tips while learning the game that would come in handy during a speedrun. I have yet to master any sort of quick moving technique involving switching from squid form to human form rapidly as of yet, but that's something I plan on mastering over the summer. I also don't have a capture card yet, so I doubt I would start running it anytime soon, but I do plan on implementing these strategies into my multiplayer battle's as well.

Hi and welcome to the community!

That sounds an awesome idea. There's a couple of good techs that you may be interested in like squid jumping, which is inking, swimming, jumping and inking where you'll land, turning into a squid and swimming again, repeat. You essentially end up bouncing around in squid form making landing pools as you go.

SHFFL your way over there. Wavedash if possible.
The Inkling's neutral air has the longest and biggest hitbox of any of its moves which can be used to easily hit the boss
Ledgeguarding is key

No but seriously, welcome. I hope your speedrun goes well! I remember someone streamed them speedrunning the single player as soon as the game was released in Japan.

Did you hear about the world 4 skip? It may come in handy.
