Well after looking over that guide the Defense and Strength boosts do virtually nothing, although it did say that Strength boosts are beneficial for .52 Gal users and I use the .52 Gal Deco in Turf Wars so I could use that. Also now I'm not too sure about whether or not I should change to Ink Resistance Up, but I do tend to get attacked when I SJ to teammates so I might as well keep Stealth Jump.
I envy those players I see with full slots on everything and nice, evenly-distributed abilities everywhere... while still looking dope. I think the main problem is the color of your clothes doesn't change with your hat, then you look all disorganized.
They do virtually nothing but to me it feels like it would be worthwhile having at least one of each. At any rate, it's only 2 out of 9 available slots anyway (not including the 3 main slots), plus I've been trying to avoid the stuff that helps you when you die. If there's anything I've learned from PvP over the years it's that you shouldn't prioritize skills that help you when you've died, since you shouldn't be planning to die!
Plus, looking on that guide, 5/13 of the skills are pretty situational anyway and won't help with certain weapons and circumstances (the last 5 on the list, Special Duration - Bomb Range). I probably won't need or at least want any of those ones with the weapons I like using (plus being reluctant to get 'death related skills'), so I have some spare room for the possibly unnecessary attack and defense boosts :3
I may try and get Super Jump speed with the spare slot though since you can super jump at any time.
My goggles and boots are black anyway, so they go well with any color
