I pretty swiftly (as in almost immediately) recognized that the most efficient way moving around with a rapid-fire weapon is shooting a surface, turning into a squid, and transforming back at the end of the trail, then proceeding to repeat the process. You move around quickly while maintaining maximum ink levels, so it's no doubt going to be an outright necessity in high-level play once we really start sinking our teeth into this game.
I'm pumped to see just what kind of devious tactics we can come up with in the future.
