That just means it's done quick. I love Saltspray because you can then fan out like oceans eleven in 3 ways, so I usually hang back and follow the last person, especially if the other team is trying to take the bottom dock.

Had two players on the team drop instantly. Won by 2%. Holy shit.
Yup. I have gotten a pretty good image in my head about what an optimal game looks like on that map with a charger.

So some questions:
1) How fast would I be going if I could get 4x Fast Squid on all my gear? 8)
2) Has anyone had good results with the Squid Beakon? For awhile when I was playing around with the Krak-On Roller, for some matches I tried putting some beakons down, but they're so expensive! I often did better pretending that I didn't have a sub weapon. I basically would end up painting around, finding a safe spot, sitting in my ink for about 3 seconds before I could put down a beakon, then spend another 3 seconds refilling my ink to make sure I could continue painting. Kraken form is still legit though.
3) What kind of Blasters are there? I like the standard Blaster but I never seem to score very high with them (I basically OHKO or 2HKO anyone though). I just unlocked the Rapid Blaster and hope to play around with it tonight.
4) Anyone still having a lot of trouble with Bubbler? I've actually come across two problems now that players are a little more savvy:
a) Bubbler cannot contribute towards inking the floor at all. Nearly every other special can spread ink or do so indirectly by killing enemies. Echolocator doesn't help with inking either, but it can let you know if you can sneak away to ink somewhere else.
b) It's possible to run away from someone with a Bubbler and wait it out, and you wouldn't be much worse off. You can run away from other specials, but those specials spread ink so you'll eventually have to come back to re-ink, and you can't run away from the Echolocator.
5) Is the gold Aerospray as powerful as I think it is? At my level, the Inkstrike tends to be bundled with weapons that have a poor rate of fire and low ink capacity (Jet Squelcher and Splattershot Pro), so I sometimes go through a match only doing 1 Inkstrike (sometimes not even doing any Inkstrikes at all!). Aerosprays have a fast rate of fire, which means they charge up the special really fast, which means the gold Aerospray is the fastest way to get Inkstrikes in the game, which imo is the strongest special in the game. I didn't even consider the sub weapon, which I think are the invisible mines.
Edit: whoops that should be 4x not 5x for some reason I thought it was 1 main ability and 4 sub abilities.

Makes sense. I guess they're better for defense than anything else. Which isn't a problem, just different.
Good info, thanks. Makes sense to put mines on top of the skate park.

Seriously.
Go to the play with friends option in the lobby and jump into a gaffer's game and hope it's full of GAF.

After picking up the game last night, my initial impressions...
Splatoon is pretty good, but I'm not really losing my pants over it like a lot of people.
- It desperately needs more maps. I know they are coming (one of them today!) but launching with so few maps is pretty perplexing
- I really really wish I could play online with my girlfriend. The 1v1 mode is cool, but I'd get a lot more mileage if we could both play online. I don't even care if the framerate tanks.
- Presentation is great
- Net code seems great so far
- Controls are good (gyro off, obviously)
- Not really a fan of only holding one primary weapon. Kind of limits things.
Based on early impressions, I think 8/10 is apt.

This game needs to advertise that you can jump to the spawn point. People keep leaving the mobile jump points next to the damn camp. :|

Sendou best charger ever?

And we had a disconect
To be honest u saved my life at one point and helped me get like 300 extra
Gonna start playing again in a bit. Hope to see some of you 
I've seen that once lol. For a player on the other team though I think it fixed itself after a while.

Wtf, sendou is scary
You went poof next to me. Scary stuff.

Well, according to Judd, there's diminishing returns for each of one ability you have equipped, so probably not TOO fast.
Everyone is playing to level to 10 so they can play ranked?

I would hate to see Sendou and Violet0 on one team. I probably just wouldn't leave spawn. Best painted spawn ever.
every match, your movement would be a jerky and the paint would have a delay
everyone else was super smooth as usual
i'm restarting my router as well after the that d/c

Lost at the mall and still got the 300 more points than the top of the other team. Getting behind them on that map let's you do some crazy damage
I'll add you soon!
A lot of the variety comes from the weapons. Even on the same map each game is played differently based on who is on your team. One game you have chargers (snipers) on your team covering you and laying down paths. The next game you're facing those chargers and you have to play differently. One game you're always in control of the high ground and the next game you never have it.

Well, lost but not that bad.
Had to go work or I would've kept playing earlier Gotham. I was lagging pretty bad as well so I may have quit anyways.
Add gaffers, join their matches (asking if there is a specific lobby/person to join is best), prepare to rage.
