Viscous as Yoshi intended. Forget about splatter spam or support. Blow them up from the shadows and carry with M2+M1 To be the Grandmaster Goo you need to master: The "Skinner-Combo" Puddle Punch Movement Cube slope storage Ball control Lurking in the shadows Annoying people Optional build paths. Compare matchups and use your brains. Enjoy the true Viscous experience :) -saleBBO +1k games on Viscous E6
