@Spoony_Tech: I've lost count the amount of times I've super jumped into a Killer Wail.Even on top of a seeker,i saw it travelling up the aisle on Port Mackerel,saying to myself I bet I land on it,and sure enough I did.
Unless using stealth jump its best to take caution when super jumping, too many times I've witnessed teammates doing jumps that do absolutely nothing but get them killed.
@Spoony_Tech: Really struggling tonight,everything I do seems the wrong option haha
Yeah sometimes it's that way, like your (Splatoon) day is cursed or so. ^^
Oh yeah how I hate that with Super Jumps! You never really know what's expecting you. I try to analyze it from the movement of my teammate and the paint around him before I superjump. But it still can end in instant death.
I really wished they would change it so that you are transparent/impenetrable for the first 1-2 seconds after landing (and to keep it balanced, you wouldn't be able to attack while your transparent).
@Jazzer94: I would probably use stealth jump if it wasn't tied to the shoes. Because I don't want to give up my ink resistance...
Oh btw, I made an appointment in Splatnet, think I'll be playing in about four hours.
@Jazzer94: That makes sense (for TC). Although having ink resistance on the tower while it's covered in enemy ink would also be useful. But I guess one has to choose, then.
On rare occasions I changed my shoes to Stealth Jump, but most of the times I just try to be more cautious while superjumping. It's always good to have one or two players in your team who tend to swim away from the action (like a sniper does) but not too far away. This way you always have a relatively safe spot to jump to (or a beacon, of course).
@Spoony_Tech: Going to leave it for now,really struggling to focus.I was getting picked off left right and centre.You were definitely carrying me there.Cheers for playing.
@OorWullie: Like was said above it happens. I use stealth jump and it works well but still it can be a problem. I remember I jumped deep into the other teams base as they were getting their zone back and all I did was try to stay alive long enough for my team to jump to me. It worked well as we took the zone back over. After yesterday's marathon you might just need a break. Playing all those S ranks before we started got me off in the right direction today that's for sure.

I've used stealth jump for a while now,I wear the wellies normally but changed into those rainbow coloured shoes tonight which were already levelled up from before. I changed my ninja squid top last night for bomb range up and I was doing alright.Tonight though I felt like everyone was twice as powerful as me,I was losing the majority of my face offs..I definitely played far too much yesterday,i think I'm burned out haha.It's chasing that elusive A-.
@OorWullie: I'm taking it your rank took another hit today. That first one started out tough but it seemed like we were going to go on a win streak there for a bit after that. It was a lot of back and fourth from there though.

@Spoony_Tech: Not too bad actually,I'm sure I ended my marathon session on -82 and now I'm on -65.All those hours though and I gained nothing haha.Twice I was 1 win away from levelling up.I'll get there eventually.

I know that feeling (for both), sometimes one should really take a break, otherwise you only lose more and ruin your rank.
Actually, neuro scientists have recently found out that our brain function only can focus at one specific task for a limited amount of time. You know that feeling when you're busy with doing something (e.g. studying) and after some time (maybe hours) there comes a point where you can't focus properly anymore? Or when you think about something strongly but you can't name it, like it's on the tip of your tongue? But after you do something else, it almost comes to your mind automatically? That's because there is a threshold in your bexecutive brain functions and if it's passed, the cells basically don't process any more signals regarding that specific matter. But if you keep yourself busy with something else for some time, the concentration overflow on that one subject slowly decreases and the mind barrier vanishes. That's the moment when you finally remember the name or whatever you were so desperately looking for.
I bet it's the same with playing Splatoon. ^^
Twice I was 1 win away from levelling up.I'll get there eventually.
Oh yeah I know that feeling, sometimes it even feels like a curse. I had this at least three times when I tried to get from C+ to B-. It was like even when I had a winning streak and was "on fire", as soon as I was over 90 and needed only one win to level up, I failed and lost. But of course, eventually it worked (B 56, now heading for B+ and getting into an A rank is my long-term goal).
I always make sure to practice in the testing range for about 15 min. To make sure my accuracy is perfect. Then when Im in rank it kinda feels like im in auto pilot splatting kids left and right XD.
@ELI-ASH: I find that when I do that, there's a transition from stationary targets to moving targets that I still have to get used to. I practice my aim in Turf War, though it's not time efficient. I wish they'd put moving targets in the testing range.
@shigulicious, Yah, sure, I think that's around 8pm EST.
