Hi!

[Jingersnap]

Hey everyone, I'm Jingersnap! If you play Splatoon 2 in North America, we may have battled together. My dream is to be captain of a Splatoon 2 team! I just made one, the Tentacular Squidkids! I love Pearl, she's the best! My record of splats in a round is 32! It happened today, it was so cool! I've got a picture to prove it! Well, that's me, and its so good to meet all of you!

Hiya, I'm Wumbo. I'm also new to squidboards. Still haven't gotten a chance to try out league mode since none of my friends got a Switch yet so maybe we could try squadding up sometimes?

 

[Mr. Squiggly Squid]

OMG Yes! That would be tentacular!

 

[Wumboeth]

OMG Yes! That would be tentacular!

Great, you could add me: SW-0266-9981-9987. I also have Discord Wumbo#3374. We could figure out which time is best for both of us.

Hey and welcome that's a pretty cool dream

Welcome to yonder Board of Squids!

32 is pretty impressive, but please remember that your K/D isn't as important as pushing the objective. That's what'll push your rank up to S+.

Please.

If you want to watch a good octobrush player, Silver (I think he might be on here actually hmm @Silver is that him?) makes some extremely good quality videos on YouTube. One of my squadmates is an S+ brush player who has learned most of what he knows from him.

Hey again! I've got a few quick questions:

1. How do you change your title? Some, like Mr. Squiggly Squid, have a title of Pro Squid, and I saw one that was Speedrunning Inkling.

2. Judd often says not to rely on a single ability for it will result in "diminishing returns." What even does THAT mean?

3. What's the difference between a squad and a team? Does one have more members than another?

Thanks in advance

You simply get new titles as you comment on forums and like other people's posts. The people with titles like Speed running inkling are probably moderators.

2) Basically if you stack multiple of the same ability the effect of each additional same ability is weakened. For example let's say running one quick super jump changes your super jump time from 3 to 2 seconds (so 1 second shorter). If you stack 3 quick super jumps it would seem your super jump time would be 0 which is not the case because of diminishing returns. Instead your 2nd quick super jump might cut down half a second and the 3rd would cut down a quarter of a second. So running three quick super jumps would change your jump time from 3 seconds to 1.25 seconds. Diminishing returns is intended to not let players abuse certain buffs by stacking a lot of one ability.

3) There is no difference between squad and teams, these are synonyms. People say squad a lot because Splatoon 2 refers to league teams as squads.

This is absolutely correct.
Just one thing it kind of implies is that stacking abilities is a bad idea (it depends on which weapon you're using, but most of the time it's not, for example stacking swim speed, ink resist and bomb defense is usually good for a roller)
