Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Playing with games full of Japanese players, only problem is I cannot tell their nicks apart.
Otherwise the games are awesome, just lost a 10-8 game with the Roller by 1 point on the Port map - my team just decided to all die simultaneously.

Otherwise roller with Kraken focused gear is very good in ranked.
I was mistaken about Tenacity - I believe this skill it requires people to be AFK or Disconnect in order to work, can anyone confirm?

I've made lyrics to the 2nd multiplayer song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnOf5pHFiB4

TEN DAYS AGO
I MADE THIS SONG
BECAUSE OF YOUUUUUUU
I realize that you can't be fooled
I can have this sentiment too
Don't feel low so you can get by
save myself from youuuuuu.
No kindness within empty eyes
save myself from youuuuuu.

(You said "go..go..gogogo I can go go goodbye")
(I say "No no no no no I can stay, You Go!")
(You say "Bye bye... B...bye bye, watch me go" and then go)
(And I think "Wh..wh..why why why" every time you go)
(I say "go..go..gogogo you can go go goodbye")
(Then I think "No no no no no don't go!")

I realize that you can't be fooled
I can't believe...

so what is the consensus on the inkbrush?

In the right hands it can dominate, but it requires you to wrap your mind around a bizarre and rather intense playstyle that's pretty far removed from the already non-standard combat in Splatoon. You're support - very, very annoying support which exists to control the battlefield, misdirect peoples attention, pop up out of the ink unseen and then tear them apart while they are too busy panicking to react properly.

I adore it, but boy does the ridiculous amount of ZR mashing make it hard to play for longer than an hour without needing a break.

this is somehow accurate
 
We've had so many people misread that Judd tip that I'm actually wondering if this is an NA translation issue? Because the BrE text is pretty clear.

And that's why I stay the fuck out of ranked.

Can't disagree with this. Winning or losing rank focuses so much on how well your team works together. The best advice I can give is never play with the same team twice if that team loses badly. Watch your team. Are they all running forward towards the point without trying to take different directions? Then drop that team. Stuff like that.

Before Shotgun Kiss, I've only seen people interpret it correctly, if a bit harshly. The most common thing I see is "well Judd said that abilities stack but have diminishing returns so I want to get one of each ability, how do I reroll" etc.

I just wanna be like...look, if a certain ability is nearly useless, then don't worry about it, and stack something else that will actually help you! You don't need run speed or defense or damage or anything that improves your abilities after death, unless you're dying all the time, in which case you might want to take those instead of the alternatives like ink saver. Pick 4 or 5 abilities and try to stack a few on your gear, it's fine even though there are diminishing returns, really.
 
So it's official.....the inkbrush is the best weapon in the game. If you're good with it, you can absolutely dominate on any map. It finally clicked with me tonight. Even matches where my team loses, I am able to go crazy on just about everyone I come into contact with.

There's been 3-4 other posters who were like "Judd told me abilities don't stack period". Maybe they just read the first part of the message and skipped his further explanations.

Sub-abilities are the smaller icons. The main abilities (big icon) is fixed for each specific piece of gear and cannot be rerolled.

Is each main ability fixed to the brand/piece of gear?

E.g I have a Paintball Mask with Opening Gambit as the main ability and a Gas Mask with Tenacity as the main ability - is there any way to get a Paintball Mask with Tenacity as the main ability?

Main abilities are tied to the gear and cannot be changed, if you want Tenacity you need to use one of the 3 bits of gear which have it. There is a good list of gear here which also has the probability chances of what the sub-abilities will be for it. It is a shame that the main abilities are locked though, I'd love to have Tenactity on the White Arrowbands but sadly they are only on the Black Arrowbands.
 
My Rank Match Days generally go like this (taking the dialogue from Fallout 4's Trailer):


With MouldyK poised on the brink of B+, Sheldon is reporting a record-- [cut short]

SquidKids, it seems we've got some breaking news, stand by.

We seem to have disconnected with our competent players, stand by.

We, we do have coming in confirmed reports of Camping Chargers and Rollers.

My god. The Inklings were right.

Zone. Zone never changes.

I wonder if there's plans to increase level cap, at 20 ranked is the only thing to progress on at the moment and sometimes it gets me so angry I can't play it and go back to relaxing turf wars.

That's part of the gear balance, if you could just pop main abilities onto the most beneficial brands you'd easily get near perfect pieces. I imagine they put a lot of thougnt into which combinations would be too strong to include. What they could do though is add a Blizzard-style transmogrification option which lets people apply only the cosmetic look of one piece to another.
 
Finished SP and played Turf War to get to level four. I think my team won all matches but one, lucky me. I've yet to try any other weapons than Splattershot Jr., but I bought a couple of new ones now. Sniper, Splattershot Jr. Custom, a regular Splattershot and a Roller. Very much enjoying the Jr. so far, so I'm not sure I'm going to switch any time soon.

I guess the gear I got from finishing SP are better than the low rank gear I can buy? At least they have more slots and stars.

I hope if they increase level cap they also fix game matching in that high levels will be matched with other high levels and same for low levels.

SP and Amiibo gear I think are always two star rating, which is better than your starting gear.
Around level 10 you can start buying 2 star gear and around 20 you can start buying 3 star gear.
I had to go Amiibo to get decent gear. Now I got 2 two-star and 1 three-star. The three-star one cost 30000, but it was worth it since really good stat buffs.

Also your sub skills are randomized and do not stack? Man that blows!
 
I wish I didn't have to work right now.

Gotta think of the positives arms are kinda of tired so a bit of rest might do them good.

I wouldn't mind some sort of infinitely increasing thing, a prestige leveling system or something. Just another number you can make go up indefinitely, different from your actual level.
 
This game!!! After I made it to B+ I have now gone back to B-. This game makes me want to keep playing, but man getting up there is challenging, took a beating this past two days. Trying new weapons and all, I guess I gotta stay with my 96 and not play when I'm dead tired!!

Need to go back up

Ah, well no Amiibos here so I guess I can might as just well wait until level 20 before thinking about buying new gear? I have three 2 star gears right now that I got from finishing the SP campaign.

I wouldnt worry about cash and buying stuff, once your lv10 can do ranked and make 2000-2500 a win, some games only last a min like on the broken stage mall.
Cash is easy to get

You know the alley they say not to go to?
The guy over there can get you someone else's gear once a day.
I wish I knew that while starting out.
I picked a three-star gear. You can get the money easily in one day.

It does suck that Amiibo are the best money grinding way.
Pretty much they unlock the challenge mode which gives you 500+ coin per challenge

Oh ranked gives you more cash? Nice to know. I am almost 10. The 20's I am getting matched with are killing me bad. Cannot compete!
I am guessing x2 your points? Because in regular ranked it is x1 your points at the end.

Ranked gives you 1300-1800 for a win (C- rank, goes up by 500 per rank). But if your team loses, you get zero except for the uncommon occurrence where the timer runs out and you get <500.
