Someone already discovered this during the Global Testfire I think. Still good find tho.

Not really a tech, but thanks for trying to find something useful to further improve the metagame.

Interesting. I can't check it out for a while. If it is true you can potentially give up some of your transparency for extra speed making you a bigger yet faster target for the opposing team.

I threw up. No offense.

But keep looking into it, I hope you prove i'm just an idiot who can't recognize tech.

If you 'Squid-Dash' a bit slower than that, then you can get a few shots in. It still may not be useful though :( I do know that it is a whole lot faster than walking and shooting, plus, you never will run out of ink. Somebody else discovered that you can turn back into a kid from a squid by pressing ZR, he called it 'Basty-Bouncing.'

If you do this in the air, you can do instant pivots instead of a pivot animation. It can be nice for running away. I called it flopping, because I think I discovered it? :P

I don't think there's any purpose to this, sorry.

Yeah I have to agree with the rest. It doesn't seem to be usefull. I'm sadly a 100% sure that it is slower than normal swimming because you change into kid form and therefore loose all your momentum that you got from normal swimming. When you change back into squid form it takes some time (a small amount but still) to get back to full swimming speed and because of those mechanics it should be slower.

There is a smiliar looking technique called "Splat Dashing". Which is about moving through uninked territory quickly. You can find a thread which talks about it extensivly here. (There is also a very heated debate in there :p)

You've got to prove that it moves faster than just swimming. I wouldn't think it does, but I haven't tested myself so what do i know. util you can actually prove that then unfortunately this isn't o any use nor is it a tech.
But If you can prove it then not only may it be useful, i also would be a tech.

One big problem with this is that your hitbox would be exposed a lot and you could die pretty easily, unless you are invincible during it... but youre not
