The .96 Gal Deco has Splash Wall and Splashdown, which is even better than having Splash Wall and Sting Ray (the .52 Deco has Curling Bombs and Sting Ray, which is good, if only for the Curling Bombs).

We also didn't actually listen to their conversation in the game. I mean, the previous JP Splatfest on its face is "flowers vs. dango," when it was actually "aestheticism vs. pragmatism."

That's a pretty lovely and lazy splatfest theme, but I do wish we got more product placement here in the US because I wanted to have McSplatfest so drat bad.

Ah, right. I prefer having the sprinkler and ink armor with the vanilla .96 because whenever I encounter an enemy close enough to hit me, the goddamn wall doesn't deploy fast enough to keep me from getting killed (does Sub Power Up speed that up at all?) but it is fun to confound lovely snipers by throwing a wall out to block their shots while you effortlessly erase them.

.52 Deco is my main go-to for Clam Blitz though, curling bombs and Stingray are perfect for that. At least it would be, if my loving teammates would ever ride the curling trail to throw the football in while I'm blasting it with the stingray.

You can and definitely should super jump with the football, league matches are brutal in clam blitz because people will coordinate beakons all over and snipe the bucket constantly

It's pretty hard, definitely the ranked mode that requires the most communication. I think by S people realize that This Way! can be used to mean "give me clams" at least which helps

In Training posted:

Fun fact, if you let the enemy pop the Baller, you won't drop the Power Clam like detonating it would. So you can just park right next to their goal, let them fire at you (which would definitely let your teammates get in free potshots on them if they take the bait.) And if they burst your ball, you can immediately toss in the Power Clam. And they can do absolutely nothing about it aside from ignoring you, except now you're a ticking time bomb that's going to turf their base and possibly kill some of their team members.

Clam Blitz has the potential to be a good game mode, but there are a ton of kinks that need to be worked out.
