Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Yesterday for the first time I had a game in turf wars where after 1 minute I just thought "this wont end well..." I mean I got my usual 900p+ but the other team just manhandled us on Makrel...it wasnt even funny. In the end it was only 25 to 70...but man it felt so much worse...
 
Is it me, or is ranked battles getting turf war map rotation after 4 hours? Maybe it's just a coincidence or it's always been that way and I just never noticed.
 
You know what? I legitimately have nothing. I'm just bad at this. Congrats guys, you're right.

Azure plz! The other team had a brush just now, and I felt bad for the team. That would definitely not be the case if it was you there lol.

GAF, thanks for the games, GGs. Jorge, we sure showed the power of the .52 and .96 that last match, damn :lol I legit thought the other team had one disconnect for the longest time. And Heath, you got lucky every time you killed me that match :lol. See you guys later!
 
you too azure

did you already send me a friend invite?

i dunno, the spreadsheet has become really unwieldy (all googledocs are) on my laptop and I'm not even sure you're on there. my NNID is Jintor, just put gaf in the message

GWX Pls!

Brah, I'm joking. We always take the jabs against each other! You are pretty good, honestly.
 
I get violet's death messages like a few seconds after the kill.
It depends on the time of day for me. The last few matches I played were pretty good for me. I even got a snipe at the last second and the message popped up immediately

Yes, it was definitely lag. I never die unless it was lag ... :)

I dunno if that was sarcasm, but I agree that Violet is a really good sniper. =D Then again, SplatGAF has really good snipers overall. They're really fun to duel.
 
Good games all. Violet you are something else with that charger. Any tips?

run a download or two while you play
gyro controls, I use Damage Up on my gear to get a better chance for a kill with half-charged shots (presumably)*, when you see Red or Heng coming for you start running in the opposite direction
*imo it's very important to know how much you have to charge your shots to kill someone

I get that from everyone, my connection is baaad
 
On a side note, I think that JPN player's load out is actually a bit sub-optimal versus the one I hodge podged together. I actually used the exact gear (albeit with varying numbers of proper sub abilities) for the latter matches we played tonight (Tentatek Fake Contacts, Splash Mob Shrimp Pink Polo, Krak On Red Hi Tops) and found that the loss of Ink Saver Main as a primary ability and the multiple Ink Saver Subs that came with my previous hat (Firefin Jungle Hat) hindered my ability to coat wide areas of stage or use Sprinkler's liberally. What's more, as a result of that, I wasn't able to build meter efficiently (got killed a lot before I had Inkstrikes available) and thus the benefits of the Special Charge Up were moot.

While I'm in theory mode, as a brush, what's the first objective I should aim to complete from the moment the round begins on Blackbelly? It feels like there's a road block or moment of hesitation I have when I'm going in (usually the first person to the main area around the inclined tower) as I see enemy fire and realize that I'm pretty much fucked without a second means around the incoming forces and double back to come around only to get caught in the middle of the skirmishes that develop.

Should I only paint as far as I can for my team to get a comfortable way in then come through the back right? Or is there a way I can keep pressing forward without fearing a scuffle?
