How can I improve with the Squeezer?

[RnSp]

I been wanting to try and use squeezer and I have enjoyed it so far, but I don't know how to improve with it, I am still pretty new with it so any tips will do!

sacrifice your hands to it.

but also it'd help to know what your actual issues are with it currently. the only things i can immediately think of off the top of my head are, learn to aim while mashing (struggle, get comfortable with 3 or 4 shot bursts to not completely break your hands), learn what outranges you (not much) and how to fight those weapons, incorporate jumps (perfect jump accuracy), learn to abuse shooter movement and squeezer's uniquely high mobility for a midline. if you play vsqueezer learn what matchups and spots you want to use wall in (it limits your ability to move forward and consumes a lot of ink, don't always use) and how to aim zooka. if you play foil, uhhh stop doing that.

I dont mind sacrficing my hands haha

But about the wall now that I think about it, that is one of the things I have the most problems with, thank you for the advice in general! I'll very much take it into mind

I'll give my two cents on foil squeezer and that sometimes whenever you can play it, it's basically the same thing except you can use autobomb to gather information pretty efficiently. Screen* I use as basically a worse inkstorm to provide some cover (*don't recommend to use in solo).

As for how to keep your hands healthy, I personally am able to play squeezer consistently for about 4~5 hours straight ( shoutouts to SuperJump redemption run), through a lot of practice and also hand exercises. Generally when you want to mash fast, I don't recommend tensing your wrists too much, it'll lead to discomfort really fast. A good hand exercise before you start is to take your opposing hand and flex your fingers back towards you, until you feel a pull on your wrists, hold the position for 10 seconds and then release. Do the same for the opposing hand if you so choose, you're probably not going to be mashing with that hand. I also started to do wrist curls with my own weights cuz I'm not the most active guy on the planet, but I actually don't know if it helps. Some shoulder stretches also help too, but are optional.

Being a healthy squid when playing squeezer is how you push the weapon farther, since you can practice longer with it.

I suggest watching YouTube videos of chocopero using it, then try to copy what he does

I disagree, I don't think chocopero playing squeezer is exactly the most simple thing to interpret when you start out with it, copying how someone mashes and aims is like telling a baby to do backflips. Once you get better yeah you can see how chocopero makes decisions on squeezer and positions in certain scenarios on different maps.

there’s also videos giving explanations on what he does but idk if there’s any in english.

I think the hardest thing to mimic is that his aim is insane. But other than that I think it helps to take notes and also think about bad habits you might have that he has already worked out of his play

At a glance it's basically impossible for me to determine which videos chocopero has uploaded that have these explanations, and any video with a squeezer on the thumbnail has no commentary. I'm not sure how to discern this as a guy who only speaks English, but at least he just uploads a good chunk of good squeezer gameplay to review. Just play more and the understanding will come eventually, especially if you learn how to be self-critical in a constructive manner (a topic for another day)

If you Google search ちょこぺろ解説 you’ll find videos explaining how he plays, including one by himself. Mostly splat 2 content though.

I translated the one he made himself here, though these are not about squeezer in particular. https://www.captionfy.com/video/youtube/If7l1b4bsOI?caption=6438cc9ee41fefbb2ba9e382
