Yeah, I think it's important to have awareness of the area/preparation of ink. Bubblers usually don't have range, so it's tough for them to chase you down if you're not getting ambushed. Also, assume any roller is a kraken and be prepared to run.
Dynamos are usually fairly visually different.

The splat rollers are the lookalikes

Hey uh where did this go
 
Something else to note is that you can see when a player has their special available (I think it's like a fire on their head). So approach with caution.

Yup, that's something I didn't notice until yesterday. It's a good thing to keep track of.

and just be aware when someone has their special saved up. their head will look sort of like it's flaming.

Unless it's a roller, that's like a red flag for me to hunt them asap. :P

I had one guy stop in the middle of a battle to fire off his inkstrike. Not sure whether once you see the animation you can still stop the launch.

Yeah, the shooting animation for the inkstrike is long, and depends on when they click. You can kill anybody calling in an inkstrike before they shoot it off, and it wont come out.
 
Goddamn, when you get to B- everyone gets so good and has nearly perfect aim, even while jumping and shooting. I'm just getting destroyed. Went 4-12 last game lol

I finally made it to B-. That's not what I wanted to hear. Not at all. Maybe I'll just stop playing Ranked Battles now. B- is above average, right? I'll just stick with that.

Ah, who am I kidding.

Stealth is your best friend in B-, most people are good enough to be able to take you head on but still are still caught off guard by people behind them quite easily.
 
something rather funny about playing a roller, using the Kraken special and then being stuck in enemy ink because your ink doesn't load while surrounded by three enemies :P
 
Oh gosh guys, I've now lost 4 games back to back in Ranked. :( Just got rekt again with a 100 to 0 no interruption match. :(

Turf War I have a blast, but Ranked can be soul crushing. It's just the losing streak. Wears you down. I got to C last night, and just watched it erode back to C -

EDIT: Backed out of lobby, and just got into a match where we decimated the other team and won 100 to 0 with interruptions. Damn. The extremes in this game are kind of jarring.
 
Is there a Charger with the Seeker? I'm having a blast (no pun intended) with this thing on the Aerospray. I'd love to have maximum linear coverage with long-shots and a sweet mobility mine.

I usually leave lobbies that I feel are unbalanced.

I'm still a Level 15 peasant with 2-star gear that can't afford the 3-stars in the shop. I usually leave them too, but I'll take an easy TOO HAWT. :p

Nope. Wouldn't it kind of duplicate what your gun can already do? Sans the mobility.
 
I began using the .96 Gal yesterday, I was used to the Aerospray and zapper and it took some time to get used to the cadence and no-spread but man is this weapon awesome!

I find the "Gal" weapons extremely useful in Splat Zones. I need that extra damage and range to splat people on the zone, and the range to keep people away from it. 52 Gal Deco is my goto on Splat Zones. Turf War aerospray all day.
 
Hey all, added my NNID to the spreadsheet a few days ago (zumphry, but my Mii is named Zayne) and just joined and played a few matches with Violet_O and finally started to have fun with Splatoon again. Went 0-3 w/ less than 30% each game against randoms before I joined, and I honestly considered putting the game up until they made matchmaking actually make you match with people around your level (probably my only problem w/ the game).

So, uh, thanks for the matches today, and please add me.
 
Cheers. I would say we should play together sometime, but playing with friends is really shoddy and more trouble then it's worth. I guess maybe after the patch I'll jump in and add myself to a list of GAF Splatoon players. Once things are improved, I think doing GAF Splat parties would be incredible.

For sure!

Aww. It would be redundant for long-chargers, but I'd also love it on an offense oriented Charger. Something like the Squiffer. More powerful, short shots. Mix it with pathing behind a Seeker and you could be a mobile sniper.
 
Anyone have any impressions of Splattershot Pro vs Jr.?

EDIT: Finally won 2 ranked matches in a row. Hopefully I can ride a wave of wins. Currently using Splattershot Jr. and am wracking up kills. Saw someone with the Splattershot Pro. Was kind of wondering if it's better? I see more people using Jr. Wondering why.
 
The servers are totally fine :)

That's just 6 DC :lol
I experienced this a few days ago. Also, anyone want to top having all of the opposing team get DC'd in rank? Because that just happened. Me and my only team member that survived the lag spike celebrated by jumping and spamming the dpad messages. It was an undeserved win, but it was great. =D

Pro consumes a lot of ink for added distance and damage. Jr. consumes less ink for shorter distance but wider spread and quicker rate of fire. It depends entirely on your preferred playstyle. Pro is definitely tailored a bit more for offensive strats.
 
Can't wait for Inkbrush tonight. Sprinkler is my favorite subweapon, and although I prefer Kraken over Inkstrike, the latter is still useful in any game mode or map. Love it. Hopefully the zippy and closerange style suits me. Hopin' for the best.

Splattershot Pro uses up all its ink in like half a second, so I hated it.

Splattershot Jr. on the other hand is my favorite gun. Decent firing speed, decent coverage, good ink efficiency. Range could be a bit better, though.

I see very little Splattershot Pro and Jr in random matches. It's pretty much all Gold Aerosprays and Krak-On Rollers.

I don't think any one weapon stands out as clearly better just yet, things are mostly on equal footing. There are just some weapon combos that are much easier to pick up/more fun to use, so they get used more often.

Ah okay. I'm not very good when it comes to managing ink. So I'll stick to Jr. Thanks for the quick break down.

I saw that as well for the longest time. But I've see Splattershot Jr. a lot in Ranked.

Real pros use the

I'm hoping inkbrush is fun. Gold Dynamo Roller is currently my splat zones weapon, but I'd definitely swap to the inkbrush if it's more fun.
 
At a certain point everything is .96 gal and some variation of a roller lol

Really? Guess I should try .96 then. I'm a follower not a leader. :p

My game has improved a lot though since posting in this thread. Your guys advice has been so helpful. I'm improving quickly, and winning more.
 
Atleast this means all this stuttering lag isn't as much my own crappy internet as it is the servers being bad then

Also I never noticed that Judd's tail points towards the winning team until now, heh

Don't worry about it, they just seem to be in. I'm busy running them over with my splatterscope lol them win streakzzzz
 
wow almost 20,000 posts. I'm surprised. I'm looking forward playing some more single player mode later today. I'm in world 4 I think.
