One thing that really bothers me is when someone jumps to a person that tries to shark or flank. Sometimes this can create a huge opening for the enemy team

I learned how to super jump at appropriate times through trial and error. I stopped jumping to there where a fight was happening so I won't be in crossfire. I died a lot from jumping so I started to look at the map more and where's enemy ink and where all my teammates are. Preferably around cover if I'm going to jump.

I tend to be very cautious when super jumping, to the point where I will not jump if I even see opponents ink in the vicinity. This video helped me realize it isn’t the ink i should be looking out for as much as my teammates reaction to said ink. Thanks, Gem!

I really enjoy your teacher motif. You're much friendlier towards learning than other channels I've seen

3 is my first splatoon game, i’m super unfamiliar with all the mechanics and strats and was super nervous to start playing matches. these videos have taught me so much and made me so much more confident when i play, even when i’m on a losing streak. thank you for creating such a great resource to learn from!

I always super jumped based on my temmates' position, but i never thought WEAPONS could play such an important role in that. Color me surprised!

Death jumping is a big problem in lower ranks. Glad for you to be making a video on smart super jumping.

As a backliner, I don’t really super jump a lot. My teammates jump on me more, and these are some tips I learned for a safer jump.

1) If backliners send “This way!” ping when you are going to respawn, this is usually a sign saying “jump on me”. They try to back up, secure the position around them to make jumps safer. But you also have to keep your eyes on the map and make your decisions because sometimes those backliners can die.  (this can happen because those situations are usually disadvantaged in numbers)

2)When you are dead, and during the respawn time, you can send jump signals to your teammates. Sending jump signals 1~2 times before actually jumping can make your teammates back up for your jump. You can spam jump signals, but don’t do that because it can be annoying to some people.

I only missed the one you said would catch people off guard. My reasoning was that we were defending, and if just one opponent (like the wiper with ninja squid) caught my team off guard, my jump would likely be dead. Dying there would then give them a pretty strong push.

Another thing I'd like to mention, if you have quick respawn and stealth jump, I think it's almost always worth it to take aggressive jumps when your team is pushing on the other side of the map. Even if you die after jumping, you'll respawn quickly and very little harm will be done because the enemy isn't starting their own counterattack yet, which is worth the chance to help your team continue that push.

You have a genuine fucking talent for this. I'm honestly blown away by how concise and well put all this advice is. This entire video is so good for understanding how to super jump better, KEEP THIS UP. It's sosososososo good.

After getting jump scared by a carbon roller I really needed this

One of my friends has been struggling on super jumps super bad, sent it to them the second I saw this, thank you so much for all the amazing educational content!

It's also worth noting that beakons display the locations of enemies that are close to them on the map, which provides even more information that you can use in these kinds of decisions.

As an anchor player I rarely super jump in unless I’m at least 90% sure it’s safe.  I reason that since I’m meant to be a super jump spot it’s not worth risking being taken out on landing and the team losing a jump spot for 10 to 20 seconds.  I often elect to make the trip from spawn so if something bad happens to a team mate when they respawn I should be approaching the mid-field from a safer, more defensible position.  
My advice to others is please be kind to your anchor and take a second to make sure they are okay to jump to.  Often I’ve been in a less than ideal spot (moving between cover usually) and some one jumps to me leaving themselves fully exposed.  I will always to try and protect the person jumping in, but I’m getting trauma from watching so many good squids get splatted in front of my eyes lol

3:26 I feel like my decision of not jumping in here because I saw someone was on the right on the map is still a correct decision

I got 7 out of 8 right, but there was a whole new dimension about WHY those were right in each case that i didn’t even know was there. Right now i’m mostly just acting on gut instinct and my meager past experience; this was a really cool way to expand on that!

Ive learned to pay close attention to a teammate's movement and the enemy ink on the ground to know if they're currently in a fight or not and its helped out in a ton of matches.

I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR A QUIZ





oh I did :/

14:20 based on the shape of that pool of ink it can also be deducted to be a splattershot since it’s the only weapon with a bomb that explodes like that. but it’s not as easy to tell in some matches since this is probably one of the few comps that make different explosion shape when using their subs

I learnt some cool stuff, including that some people call that ink that oposses orange "green"
