Killing people with the brush is fun LOL

 

[Xeteh]

Maybe it's just because its so charming, but... I kinda like it.

I dig it, its unique. Like... screw everyone else I'm just going to speed paint the world.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Omg the brush is both hilarious and terrifying when someone is attacking you with it.

 

[Belgian Dude]

E: meh not as funny as it seemed

Looks like the first Splatfest will be in June 13th: https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/607004099972722688

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they are region dependent. June 13th for Japan, June 20th for the Americas and a bit later for Europe I think.

why are people already using the brush in ranked

you don't even know what it does

Haha, oh god, really?

 

[WALKMAN04]

I would actually use this if I didn't run out of ink so fast

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Brush seems good as support, but when nearly everybody is using one, it's easy pickings for anybody with a gun.

 

[Mononoke]

this is really dumb, i love it

So do you see it, as an actual legitimate weapon people will use once the fun/insane aspect wears off?

 

[Timeaisis]

It runs or of ink so fast, too.

 

[Vylash]

why are people already using the brush in ranked

you don't even know what it does

you can test a weapon

 

[SmithnCo]

lol, so dumb

 

[Totakeke]

oh god the port

 

[Lucario]

Is ranked mode filled with brushes too? If so I might take a break from studying and get an easy rank up.

Yup, even B+ and A-. Just hope they aren't on your team!

you can test a weapon

had a 2 brush vs 3 brush game at 10:01. They definitely didn't test them, lol.

 

[J@hranimo]

One thing I really like about the inkbrush though is that's a trigger finger weapon. First one in this game so far, unless I'm mistaken.

 

[MouldyK]

Well...this is different. Will change the game a lot if people get skilled at it.


"Splat. Splat Has Changed."

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I just ended turf war with almost 1600 points and went 11-0 against 4 brush users with the splattershot jr. Such easy kills. Lol

 

[shadowkat]

I kinda like it. Had the highest score on my teams a couple of times.

 

[Haines]

So do you see it, as an actual legitimate weapon people will use once the fun/insane aspect wears off?

Its very very fast so there has to be some sort of higher skill ceiling to it

 

[Kouichi]

The Inkbrush is a neat weapon and the speed is pretty cool, but it is way way way too weak. Aside from moving around quickly, I see no benefits from using it at the moment.

 

[Crayolan]

I think brush strokes might be dependent on how hard you mash.

 

[Azure J]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

ITS A SWORD

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

 

[Kid Ska]

I'm telling bish to ban anyone not using the brush tonight.

 

[Belgian Dude]

Well...this is different. Will change the game a lot if people get skilled at it.

"Splat. Splat Has Changed."

But I thought "Splat never changes"

Its very very fast so there has to be some sort of higher skill ceiling to it

Could this be the Scout of this game? A lot of people using it for mobility but very few properly using it (well, as much as a loadout can be compared to a class)

 

[Timeaisis]

Brush duels seem completely random.

 

[Jintor]

So do you see it, as an actual legitimate weapon people will use once the fun/insane aspect wears off?

I think so but it's going to be heavily situational. It can contribute just as much though but I don't know how it's going to fare when there's more guns around. Presumably there will be guns on the same team though.

Is totakeke here? and timestasis?

 

[Totakeke]

Brush duels seem completely random.

Yeah. Totally.

 

[Zero²]

Ok Ill take a time out since I dced. And eat smt while I'm at it lol

 

[BassForever]

I feel like the best use for brush is to run through enemy lines distrupting their paths and making them waste time/ink recovering your little trails so they can swim through them

 

[Lucario]

oh god the tiny brush trails on the result screen look like tapeworms :s

 

[Belgian Dude]

I didn't use the inkbrush but based on your impressions I guess it's different strokes for different

Spoiler

squids

folks

Thank you I'll be here all night

 

[Realyn]

Impossible to ranked when a new weapon gets released. Just a dice roll which team gets the idiots.

 

[Nishastra]

I like the brush a lot, but using it kills my finger with how your coverage is directly related to how much you mash the button.

 

[arimanius]

Don't bring a brush to an ink fight. gun > brush

 

[Xeteh]

I'm the brush master.

 

[batbeg]

Went 2-12 with a final score of 251 on that one. This weapon suuuucks.

 

[Haines]

I feel like the best use for brush is to run through enemy lines distrupting their paths and making them waste time/ink recovering your little trails so they can swim through them

I absolutely adore how the paint mechanic makes guns actually feel so mechanically different in this game.

Just this paint brush Aline has cemented to me that this game is absolutely Nintendo's newest classic.

 

[Kastrioti]

Play some single player first to get used to the controls

I ended up jumping into multiplayer first haha. I tend to be pretty good at competitive shooters or team based objective games like controlling maps.

Suffice to say this game kicks ass. I turned off the motion controls and for my first few maps just focused on spraying the map and controlling turf and focusing on kills less. I've been getting my aim down but so far I've only used the first weapon they give you.

I remember reading it in OT1 but someone said something along the lines of "This game feels so EAD".... and it does. Just a polished, fresh and unique game on my favorite genre, competitive shooters.

I'm getting gud.

NNID: Kastrioti

I'll be playing on and off tonight and have all of tomorrow night put aside to play the game.

 

[Mononoke]

Good point. Since this is a new weapon, everyone wants to use it right now. So we won't know for a week or two how it actually fairs against other main weapons.

It just sounds like such a bizarre weapon! Lol

 

[105.Will]

Cant wait for brush vs brush for the rest of the night! Seems kinda underpowered to me so far. I'm gonna stick with it for a few more games.

 

[Jintor]

oh shit you totally deal damage with the brush in roller mode, it's just tiny

 

[BlueSilver]

Nice double KO, Red. =P

 

[Capra]

Oh god brush duals are hilarious: "SPLATATATATATATATATA"

 

[Geg]

lmao well playing against people who don't know how to use the brush yet makes getting kills easier

 

[Sora_N]

Any games I can join? Couldn't play with any GAFers since launch.

NNID: Aisutron

 

[Ferrio]

Would be nice to test it against guns....

 

[WALKMAN04]

Alright guys good games I guess lol, I'm probably done for the day

 

[MouldyK]

But I thought "Splat never changes"

Well, it did this time.

Hayter: 1

Perlman: 0

 

[Zing]

Whoever suggested disruptor against brushes was right. Brushes are laughable.

 

[Vena]

Brushes were a mistake. They're nothing but trash.

 

[Askherserenity]

It's crazy how different the brush feels compared to everything else.

 

[Moondrop]

I just don't understand the Inkbrush. It's supposed to be 100% support? Like, I see other players coming and I just run away? That's what it felt like.
