That was a nice call, i could definitely learn some more awareness in that effect

your videos are so helpful, keep it up!

Appreciate these videos immensely!

Great content! Keep it up

I've been thinking about the 5% useful number you give. I figure you said it off the cuff, but I think there's some really good meaning in it. Even if a piece of cover is only useful 5% of the time, that means it will be useful about 1 in every 20 interactions, and even quick knockouts comfortably have 20 interactions.

Love your videos- they’re really helpful

My problem with improving is that threre aren't many good videos like these that help me. You're the best splatuber I know who makes these!

I can't believe he hit us with the Fantano tran... SITION

WE MOVING SAFELY WITH THIS ONE!! 👏 🔥

Reborn, your videos are top quality and they deserve so much more attention. Thank you so much for doing this and I will share these with friends :)

Omg thank you for these videos I will watch EVERY sploon tips video because I wanna start with comp :)

thank you for continuing with the series! these ideas of using cover for advantage, creating your own cover, gathering information, etc., are never talked about but are so vital to the game. these videos will be an incredible resource to anyone who wants to improve in Splatoon :)

I love how simple splatoon is on the surface, but when you get down into the nitty gritty of the game, there's so many small intricate details and decision-making that can influence how the game plays out

Ty mr reborn for yet another helpful video

Now that you mention it, I don't use tiny ledges like the one you mentioned in Hagglefish enough for cover, been trying that a bit more lately and I've been doing better during really crusty skirmishing moments. Thanks for the tips chief!

Great vid

Great video! I've played so much Splatoon that it's natural for me to use cover like you talked about in this video, but it's always good to go back to the basics.

You make the best educational splatoon content on the platform; im always so psyched when you post. tysm for this ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow I just found your channel and it seems very helpful! :) I want to try out comp and I'm a free agent rn so this is really good to prepare

This is a big one for me. I used to do terribly on maps like Robo Romen until I figured out some spots I can safely escape to if I'm caught out, or parts of the map that technically look wide open, but can challenge backlines because they won't be able to target me given the map layout or will have to take up very vulnerable positions to even get a glimpse of me. I really like your distinctions between on and off cover, it's giving some nebulous decision making I do during a game more structure. Thanks!

You spoil us with such high quality advice! I hope more people discover you.

thank you for making this. ive been trying to explain this to others but never knew how exactly to put words to it. please continue with the series :) this will become a valuable resource for anyone trying to get better at the game

This is something I don’t think about probably holding me back in various ways. And when I think about players I aspire to, in particular Kiver comes to mind, he’s excellent at using cover.

New Reborn video! We are so out here😤

im cooked (been trying to keep this in mind more! LMAO)

TRUE we don't talk about this enough. probably important to remember when we talk about holding positions and moving up safely lol

Thanks for the tip. Now I can make solo q lobbies even worse with flanking crb :). Speaking of crb, what kits do you think will have a big impact this season.

Never played Splatoon, was hyped to finally get to play something like Splatoon, immediately became worried when I learned the primary game mode wasn't the same as Splatoon's ink domination mode or whatev it's called... finally played it... I am shocked by how much I love Foamstars. It is fundamentally so different from any other shooter. It's weird because on paper, so many mechanics just seem to come out of left field or even conflict, and then you play it, and it somehow all works. It actually kinda makes it difficult to describe the game's mechanics and what I like about them, because how do you start. How the foamed up mechanic organically fosters teamwork while encouraging aggression? I completely agree Smash the Star is especially well designed. For people who haven't played Foamstars, one of the biggest things about Foamstars is everybody has super powerful walls. You can easily track enemies and allies, and if you're close enough, you can even see their silhouette which communicates hero identity, vector, and facing. This obviously makes flanking very difficult. Thing is... Almost all the attacks and abilities have short range, move slowly, and / or are heavily telegraphed. If you're paying attention and haven't overextended into opposition foam, you can usually avoid getting chilled. But the same goes the other way around so the best way to secure a chill ( they're not called kills ) is to dive an opponent and pointblank spray them down. But these are conflicting mechanics because how do you safely dive an opponent who has walls? Figure it out. It's a tiny bit like chess how the game goes, "Here's all the information you need to succeed; btw, everybody else has the same information. Figure it out." No fog of war is nuts. Crazy fast, crazy chaotic, the better you can process the information overload, the better you'll do. You have to operate under the assumption the opponents know everything you are doing so there's no point in trying to hide and go invisible; so instead, you're always doing something. Observing, anticipating, planning, foaming. Always. There is never downtime. It's possible the game breaks down when all players are communicating and coordinating in organized, competitive play. I can kinda see that happening, but at the same time, I just play solo casual so I wouldn't know; but man, this is the most fun I've had in a competitive shooter in a long time. I easily rate Foamstars over The Finals, Call of Duty, etc.

great video, i love your channel and i hope it gets the recognition it deserves. hard to find people who talk about aspects of comp besides surface level stuff (weapons, builds, etc.) the other thing i noticed about the opening here is that the zap died with cooler. had it not played so aggro early on (which it really shouldn’t have been considering it’s limited fighting capabilities and focus on being a cooler bot), it not only could have stayed alive, but would have been able to pop cooler in those first twenty seconds. both the vshot and ttek could have retained the specials they built up before going down, and would have been back to fight immediately. the time it takes to paint for the zooka/strikes again could have been completely mitigated, and would have let them deny the enemy push before they took too much space on plat/spinner. dying within the start of a match as a cooler weapon is a massive liability. just some thoughts as a backliner currently in pencil jail 😅

You're really good at noticing patterns and recognizing habits. Even if not directly applicable to me, these coaching video still help me and they're just overall entertaining. I'm loving the longer videos and you're killing this editing my guy🤝🏽💛

cute

Super well-made video, I'd argue skills like this tend to be overlooked and learning stuff like this is something that you just either get or don't especially mid game. All that aside, I did enjoy watching and learning what i could do better. I didn't expect my not super serious matches to be reviewed like this tho.

That roller and machine are the reason why I'm always prefiring their routes and dropping mists in their paths. At the very least I can break their habit and force them to be uncomfortable. But predicting/reading the opponent honestly is a stringer baseline, because it's what gets those blind shots over walls or annoying chip kills! good video!

another amazingly well-thought-out and well-researched splatoon strategy video, Reborn!! Thank you so much!!

Great video, I usually support the carrier but this will def help me when I'm running it. Looking forward to your next vid! 🍻

This video needs a comment soo Good video 10/10

🔥🔥🔥

We're back with the high quality coaching😤🔥

yay!!! tri-stringer!!

Great video yo! You got some interesting thoughts on the game. If you wanna see my reaction and thoughts on this game, then click this on video link! th-cam.com/video/GaDDM-NLag4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0EzVY-a8IW1NcRc7

So i was playing around with slideboard cancelling for jump extension.. Seems like tonix and jet can do it with their shots during charging status. Baristador and rave breaker can do it with their shots/sprays as well which is probably even better than tonix and jet because they can cut their jump at any time and just spray. Then there's agito who can extend the jump via shot cancel but not properly. Agito will still shoot enough to sort of pad his fall but his shot is in no way the same as using his shuriken to extend his jump.

this game is made by a color blind person or something xD it's so difficult to see in this game holy hell man. they even tried to put outlines on characters but even that doesn't seem to help.

I enjoyed the video and this is not a critique of it Idk why people are pitting these games up against each other when they are for separate systems and not everybody has enough money or interest when it comes to owning both a switch and a playstation If Splatoon or foamstars were playable on the same systems then i would understand, but why can't playstation players have a game that is similar?

It's like the only people reviewing this are splatoon players lol I just want to see what someone with a fresh take has to say about the game. Most reviews are just "it's not splatoon so it sucks!" so thanks for not being so biased in your review, very well done. I've only played a tiny bit of splatoon on wii u and I enjoyed it, but based on what you say about the differences, I think I might actually like foamstars more. I always prefer higher ttk shooters over low ttk, and I love hero shooters. I'm a long time overwatch player, some foamstars might feel somewhat familiar to me, even the screen clutter!

4 new characters and 5 new modes in the first year seems likely. I hope the game will have enough success to keep it up.

I hope it comes to pc. I've wanted to play a game like splatoon ever since the first wii u version, yet I've never really had access to a nintendo console for a longer period of time. Making it a playstation exclusive is a missed opportunity, putting it on more platforms could give them a chance to make foam stars even more popular than splatoon (before you laugh at me, go look at palworld).

It’s just a shame a lot of people shit talked this game. Before I played it I looked up reviews and there was a lot of hate. I still tried it and immediately loved it. Just gotta get the player count up. Good video bro. Hopefully it gets recommended to people looking into the game.

Wanna send thanks for not blindly hating this game. It's fun. But it feels like its one of those games that not many gave it a chance and hated it without even playing it. I dint jnow why people are on the hating campaign on this game. Hope it has legs enough to keep going. It's mad fun.

This game is so good in my opinion an soundtrack helps with rough matches with it's catchy an banger soundtrack

Saw ads for this game for ages, and brushed them off since they annoyed me. Downloaded the game recently off of a whim and I’ve gotta say I enjoy the charm it has. The only negativity I have towards f2p games like this are wondering whether they’ll be active in a year or so, so it makes me hesitant to dedicate time to it, as opposed to a tried and true series like splatoon. That being said I’ll be trying it more over this weekend since it is pretty fun. Hope the devs support it in the long run and give people a good reason to stick to it.
