Space pirate Ridley and his buddy made it!
I can't!!!!
I gotta go, in fact. Still, had a bad time so far, especially team-wise. I'll be back in half an hour
edit: actually, there was a moment that was MK8-worthy, lag wise. The bad guy (Daniel, I believe), just stood there while a huge X was showing on my aim reticle and my shots weren't connecting, until I eventually died. Felt bad man.

Oh hey new map Kelp dome!
*plays*
Man fuck Kelp Dome.
Maybe its my team but holy shit its too open and too big to keep covered.
Fucking hell...I think this is either a ninja squid brush map because you have to move so much or an aerospray stage for the fast rate of fire. Too much space to protect anything so squelcher is pretty much out because Inkwall does nothing of use. .52 gal dego is good for seekers, kill shots, lobbing, and coverage, brush is solid too. Just a run and gun stage. No tactic will hold its ground. You can circle the enemy fast, you can snipe fast, and you can claim the zone fast...but you can't hold any position. You have to run from every tactic to the next nonstop.
Chaos. Anyone who has a solid tactic to hold it that doesn't require full team cooperation lemme know because DTA dont trust anybody applies in Splatoon.

- Ran the tactic of death from above but the grating makes it very fleeting since you can't refuel without dropping through the ink to the chaos below.
- Ran the tactic of staying on the outside of the middle square and taking the territory by splatting it from the edges safely. Didn't work because of the chaos from above (afore mentioned grating path) that everyone takes in order to reach those spots.
- Ran the tactic of ignoring the middle to splat the perimeter and get inkdrops and to cut off the enemy to pin them in their base...only worked ONCE when someone else caught on and helped me. Rest of the time the full team would either fucking follow and leave it open in the middle or just die without my .52 gal/Squencher cover.
- Ran the tactic of heading for the middle pillar...suicide. It can be hit from all grating and from below and can't be defended because its too narrow plus its peppered with inkdrops constantly. No mans land.

People need to remember that unpainted ground doesn't matter at all.
If you look at the map and notice that some ground near your base is unpainted but the enemy base is all painted up, don't think to yourself, "darn we would've won if only we'd painted that bit near our base."
Because if someone had taken the time to paint that spot near your base, that's time that they WEREN'T painting elsewhere on the map, and at the end of the game you would've just been like "darn we lost because we didn't paint as much as they did."
That's always why you lose, because you got outplayed by the enemy team. Unpainted ground is meaningless. 50% of the map could go unpainted, and you could still win as long as you maintained control over the remaining 50%.
Haha, the same happened to me since the first time I saw that post. On another note:

some guy tried to chase me while in kraken form. just swam and hopped away, then turned around and took him out. hehe
Word. Always prioritize painting over enemy ink.

For real....shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. That sucks. Those are the only refuel spots up there. Ah well...they were still mad vulnerable to fire from below.
It feels like Kelp Dome favors large ink spreading weapons that are efficient on ink (Jr. and Aerospray).
The roller felt kinda useless outside of basically sharking people going on the grate path and getting them below, but that would be hard to do with people basically being able to shoot any ink below them. Then again, I hate the standard roller/Krak-on roller, so maybe someone else can do something with it.
Interested in seeing how chargers will work for this map.
Just so people stop ink striking my sprinkler lol.
And you're talking about this right?

Yea, it's a really good spot. It even covers the spot people don't really cover unless they want to go up there.

As long as it got up there once, then that's a win for me regardless of the outcome of the actual match.Not if you're always dead
You edited that quick
I'm thinking about just sticking to this one: https://41.media.tumblr.com/fa9ae98abb4db780bff6514e7e872474/tumblr_npn8ujy7QT1ux7li8o1_1280.jpg

Aerospray here, didn't use any specific load out I was leveling up equipment, I think aerospray would be what your looking for, u mentioned running out of ink on the upper pathways well my special meter filled up as my ink was running low every time, then use it and bam you got a full tank of ink and don't have to go down, I managed to get 1700+ a couple times just doing this
3 map rotation incoming (we all knew it)
niiiiice
3 map rotations will be very interesting as far as picking which weapon to use

good gameNot true. Yes painting over enemy territory is double the net gain, but it's harder to get a hold of. I've had cases where we lose by 2% and that's because nobody painted a key path that could've given us the edge. Painting your part of the 60% is what's gonna count for the win. You don't have to be super detailed about it and you're gonna do it during the whole match not right at the start all of it, but it's important to little by little paint most of your home turf while you keep pushing forward.
about accurate to japanese tv then
