Is it me or do u ppl think this weapon is too OP?
Ink coverage beast basically. You can easily get over 1000 with it in Turf War imo. Though it lacks power and range since you can get overpowered by longer range weapons.

Not a roller. A roller with kraken is manageable.
Oh true there are other weapons with the kraken.
Haha, I can't remember the last time I saw one, so I forgot.

Or in best case, you stop, turn around and kraken ends when they're right in front of you so you can just rip them apart.

All I want
Is a patch
That removes
The stupid fucking laser
Chargers have it hard enough as it is on most maps, the last thing they need is a big "Please run away, I'm going to shoot you now" sign.
Oh, BTW, I'll be staying out of this game until I can get a better internet service.
The current binding contract of my current ISP expired yesterday and today I called another ISP to contract a better service.
Hopefully I will go from 7Mbps/0.3Mbps to 30Mbps/1Mpbs. Not much, but it should definately help a bit.
Gonna miss playing with gaffers in the meanwhile!

Mhmmm especially when Kraken come swimming, activate the bubble and see them try swimming away.

Yesterday I had the most insane Ranked battle ever. My team got down to around 37 seconds before the other side took it, and then they held it for so long.
They got it down to five seconds, and I was the only person alive, and I managed to kill all three on the zone and take control with literally one second left on their clock.
And I thought, well, at least it won't be a knockout. But then it went into overtime? I didn't even know that that was a feature. And so I was jumping as my teammates rushed in, desperately trying to avoid getting killed, and we ended up winning the overtime somehow, getting a knockout win.
It was insane. I will never pull off something like that again. Ever. In anything.

That's so incredibly satisfying.
Once, I managed to calculate how much time the Kraken had left, started charging my charger, the Kraken ended at the very last possible moment and I blasted the guy away with a point-blank shot.
Another time I totally miscalculated by a full second and ate a faceful of Kraken.
Easy come, easy go.
if the other team's timer is lower than yours but your team has control when the match ends it will go into overtime until you either take the lead and win or you lose control and lose.
Some krakens retreat when they know thier special is ending so I would run behind him, the special would end and I would surprise him by beating him with my paintbrush.

The life of a Squiffer main.
Inkling and Ryu would make smash worth playing again tbh
I didn't know I wanted them both in until this post. Now I see them duking it out and I want.

This is why I kinda wish specials weren't in Splat Zones, because the solution to just about all of them is to run the fuck away. That works in Turf Wars, because unless you're just dominating there'll be other things to run off and go do. But in Splat Zones, there really isn't, so it's basically just run and hide while doing nothing important for a bit.
Are you kidding?
No special means everyone would just be shoot at a spot.
moving forward while shooting, moving back while shooting, back and forth.
Just a silly game of stalemate. That sounds horrible.
Specials allow someone to make a move. Like the bubble or using the inkstrike as cover and going in for a kill.
Without special it will be a boring game.
Look at what everyone is doing without their special, just shooting at a spot hoping someone makes a mistake and dies.
but splatzones are already a boring, silly game of stalemate.
I don't think so. it is pretty tense but specials allows people to be aggressive and push.
Without specials, no one would push pass the enemy ink.

BUBBLES ARE FOR SISSIES
Right now it feels like you're never making any progress because regardless of how close you are to winning, you could get penalty points and be way far away again. I just think it's too frustrating to be fun, and the ability for the other team to make a comeback just by using their specials kinda compounds on that.
sounds only reasonable
you are a nicer person than me
what a sad, sad moment that was
That's why your goal is not to KO when you're in the lead with a significant penalty timer. The goal is to defend and waste time as much as possible. There's a difference in strategy depending on the situation you're in. Not playing to account for the difference in situation is often a mistake.
But everyone has specials. Specials allow changing of power in a match.
You don't seem to have an issue with specials but with the comeback feature.
I have won and lost games from the penalty time.
I can see how it is frustrating to be at 1 second and still lose but you need to gave the other team credit to get their shit together to beat you. Without the comeback feature, games would be decided in the first minute of the game. It will last a minute also.

Got to rank B- and Level 17~!
I also got another super close victory in ranked. My team won by TWO POINTS, as the clock ticked to zero.
'Guess I was wrong about me not getting another close victory.

It's the "WHAT NOW MOTHERFUCKA" feature of this wretched game.
oh HELL NO
Even the Arowana Mall map is good on ranked battles.

People say this because they get infuriated as hell going up against a bubble user. Gotta try to discourage people from rocking face any way they can.
On Saltspray Rig, the enemy just made a huge last minute push to the square up north, all 4 of them coming right at me, I could see them coming up from below, a couple rollers and SMGs...I bubbled and killed 3 of the 4. Last guy slipped by and had his progress all covered up by the rest of us.
I hated that map the most just a couple of days ago... And now I'm starting to like it with the inkbrush (even in turf wars). But yeah, the extended grates ad gameplay make the most out of that map.
