Strafing: The Most Important Movement Splatoon 2 Doesn't Teach You - Bravous Splat Strats

Gem, X rank competitive Splatoon 2 player, breaks down the different kinds combat movement options that Splatoon 2 doesn't tutorialize at all.

Slight correction: the Nautilus doesn't need to have a full charge to be able to swim and maintain its charge. It can swim with a partial charge and still pop up and fire it. Thanks to Cyborus for pointing this out!

Special thanks to Brock.com, a top 500 player who will be featured in the upcoming "How to Get Top 500" video, for fact-checking the script!
