They don't.
.96 gal still superior though
I don't know how others are affected by this game, but it's an emotional maelstrom for me. I'll find myself swearing aloud, etc., when normally I'm a coolheaded and gentle person who doesn't take issue with anyone. And it's not like I -really- take issue with anyone here, I just shoot off my mouth in the heat of the moment when I notice half of the map is covered in enemy ink. I could be just as much to blame, but in that moment I start calling my teammates "shitheads," haha. I don't mean it... It's just a coping mechanism.
So yeah... It's probably for the best there's no voice chat.
Also, all of this underscores the brilliance of the three-minute length. Any shorter and there would be fewer comebacks. Any longer and the stress would be too much, so that a loss would be incredibly demoralizing. As it stands, three minutes is just right, enough so that the sting of a loss doesn't last too long.

I tried to bring the aerospray with me to ranked but kept losing to rangier weapons. I also switched to splattershot pro.

Two communication errors in a row after never getting them since launch, what the fuck
probably, I haven't unlocked it yet.
Is the Aerospray RG much different from the MG or just different loadouts?
I had one night, a few nights ago, where I kept getting comm errors for like an hour or so. But haven't had any since. Nothing changed on my end, so I guess the system just has hiccups sometimes for some users.
I was kidding. Don't know if its you or me thats lagging thouggh.

Just the loadouts I think. The stats for the main weapons should be the same, in regards to range, damage and firing rate. The loadouts enable fairly different strategies though.
You're showing just fine to me. Weird.
I've seen some that are fine and others that splat me before they get close, their paint still 10 feet away. Or the Kraken hitting from a mile away.
On my end, you're in different places completely when you kill me. Like You'll shoot then appear on the other side of the box.

Oh, I thought you had just splatted me so hard at the beginning of Skatepark that my internet just gave up.
Stupid ink wall ain't worth shit

Yeah. One time in Turf War I used the bubbler (it literally showed me using it) but I was still killed by the Kraken and my special meter reset to full right before I respawned.
Had that happened to me.
Also once I was firing on the roller user, I was like 1 meter in front of him and rolled on me somehow.

Goddamn the gold dynamo roller is just insane. The range and spread is crazy. I have absolutely no idea how to counter it when dealing with someone who is decent.
Do tell if that continues.
.. I agree lol
*shrug* I've never had any of these problems people are complaining about. The closest was when the game lagged for like 2 seconds and a couple people disced. Other than that I've never had to deal with warping players, or dying after I killed anyone etc.
Playing with the default controls and doing just fine. Using the tilt to fine-tune aim on-the-spot, or quickly just splatter paint everywhere is super easy.

Yes, it is. The difference between splat zones in mackerel and saltspray is like night and day.
>_> This deeply worries me. If by any reason I can't solve this problem and I can't play Splatoon, I guess I am definitely done with competitive online games :/
There's only been one domination so far, but it is not fun at all regardless. It's more frustrating cause there's no way to communicate properly with team mates and it being such a long map that it is hard to even get to the splat zones. I'm at A- rank, if that helps give some perspective.
I thought Port Mackeral was already okay at best, but now I think it is worst map. Will probably never play Ranked if that map is on. At least for Splat Zones.
Just be able to aim around them. That's it. That's all it takes to be good with the Blaster.

I can't beat the final boss and it's so frustrating to have to start over from the beginning.
>2 sec frag delays are rare for me but double splats are pretty much the norm vs japanese players
I almost died at that part.
Dr. Buni

Yeah, delays are rare here too (happened like twice at most) and double splats against JP people are the norm. What was worrying me is double splats against non-JP players.
...but I just got to know my dad was streaming shit on my mom's notebook, so that must be why the game was messed up.
I like Splat Zone and it click with my style/weapon. I have clearly more #1 in Splat Zone than in Turf War. I'm only C and at 10 pts of the C+. It's intense though and really frustrating when the team work isn't there. August can't come soon enough for match pro. In this mode my prefered stage is the new/last one.

As for double splats it depends on how quickly it happened. There have been times I have been splatted but ink had just left my gun/roller so it went and splatted the other dude/gal. So it's not always because of lag.
Lost four rankeds in a row because of other people disconnecting. I was 10 points away from B+, now back to 50 points.
E: make that five!
E2: Started the match with three players, SMH. Normal turf wars is too easy, gaf turf is non-rewarding, but right now I'm yelling all the bad words I know.

getting 17 kills with 2 deaths in ranked feels so good. But winning by only 2 points...freaking carrying the team.
