New Splatoon Tech: Fast Falling

[Nihabz]

I recently discovered a new tech I feel has some competitive viability involving the use of a sub weapon. This tech involves the beacon sub and attempting to use it in mid air. Because the beacon cannot be placed anywhere within that space it will push you to the ground instead hence the name fast falling. I've provided a video of me performing this for reference.

nice find! I'll have to test this out later, if I can.

RIP old meta

But where's the stop timer though boss? It looks the same speed to me...

 

[DaBoss]

Will this allow me to Short Hop Fast Fall Laser?

I honestly don't see any difference. Do stage recon and test it on Moray or Flounder Heights. Also compare a normal fall versus a fast fall with beakon.

Can u try this out on a real map for the game just to prove it.

 

[Power]

get the compared time m80. Don't want to boot up splat just to try it out.

I can't believe I wasted 5 minutes. ;-;

(also I did multiple cuts, basically this does nothing. there is no increase in speed. its pretty much the same thing as mashing squid form in ink.)

tldr; OP didn't find anything, this does nothing. you probably already knew that. and if you didn't well now you know.

What if there was an ability that allows faster falling?

 

[Filo ITA]

Well it may have some uses on moray or other maps I guess.

 

[Graff]

About as effective as using the Rainmaker's Shield to wavedash off the map.

Damn the video is down! I want to see this so called 'tech' :/
