Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

New stage feels like a very different game for Turf Wars. It's huge open style means the match doesn't seem to hinge on team battles in one central area. Instead. you have small battles all over the map. Final push seems more important here as well. I've had quite a few hard swings in the last 30 seconds or so. I really like it. I've gotten much more 1v1 fights on this map so I don't feel like it comes down to me outnumbering the enemy or the enemy outnumbering me. Echolocator feels more useful as well.

"We regret to report the splatting of the wife and her two inklings by their husband and father. The father purchased the Krak-on Roller used in the crime at his local Ammo Knights Store two days earlier. This fresh splatting took place while the family was gathered at Arowana Mall on a Sunday afternoon. The day of the inking, the father went to the trunk of his car, retrieved the Roller, and splatted his wife as she was cleaning up the kitchen after lunch. When his ten-year-old inkling boy came to investigate the commotion, the father splatted him, too. His six-year-old inkling girl had the good sense to hide in the ink, but reports suggest he lured her out by using the Echolocator. The girl was found splatted once in Roller-Shotgun Splat Range. The mother, who he splatted in the stomach, was with a special at the time. Judd arriving on-scene after neighbors called 911 found the father in his car, listening to Callie and Marie's show. Several days before the splatting, neighbors say they heard the father repeating "STAY FRESH" in a loud voice. They said it was like he was chanting some strange spell. There was another family splatted to death in the same state last month, and in December last year, a man used a Splatterscope and Inkbrush to splat his entire Friendlist. In each case, the perpretrators was 'dad'. State police say the string of splattings appears unrelated, though it could be part of a larger trend, such as inkome, childcare, and the headphones with the mountain vest."
 
I've been playing for an hour and a half and I've only gotten to play Kelp dome twice. I'd love to play the stage in ranked battles since I've gotten walleye warehouse eight times in a row but I'm gonna do one more match and then probably call it quits for the night.
 
Yeah not a fan of kelp dome. Too spread out. Did make me think it'd be cool for a "final destination" stage. Just a flat plane with respawn points at opposite ends.
 
I like Kelp Dome. You get crazy points even if you lose. For a while, I was scoring the highest even if I was on the losing team!

One game, I got off an Echolocator seven times.
 
Can someone help me understand the proper way to use the splat wall? I've been using the Jet Squelcher because I like the rapid fire+Ink Strike, but I never touch the sub weapon. I've occasionally been able to close down chokepoints with it, but overall it feels a bit too situational for my liking.
 
Played this for four hours straight earlier, ranked mode is just bliss. I haven't had this much fun with a shooter since I played COD as a young teen. Might have to play some more.

One question. I understand how overtime works. But what the hell is up with the smaller font time that gets added? I was on a team and they had like ~50 seconds left and we had 1. We got a plus 50 or so and kept getting additional time and only ended up winning in overtime.
 
Kelp is really interesting in Ranked. Given that I main Kraken Roller, it can be tricky to navigate the Chargers, but it's really entertaining. Sneaking behind them and up the scaffolding, putting down beacons in some of the quieter spots and using the kraken to really the ground for anyone that drops down.

Not a fan of it in Turf though. It's just way too big and spread out when the centre is not the point of attention.
 
I think that's enough GAF games for tonight. Fun as ever! New map is pretty good.

Perfection
 
Oh man I had your number that match, Greg. Had to get you back for killing me in the first 5 seconds of urchin underpass. : p

Great games everyone. Im out again. You're real good with that charger, blue. I keep trying but I just can't get the hang of it. I'm liking kelp dome a lot. I find myself using the map a lot more than usual, which is really engaging.

Yeah, I'll take all the resources I can get. My problem seems to be motivation/making time for it moreso than actually doing something.

Moving away from self-realization goals, I just want someone to explain how to Kelp Dome to me. I know that it's not hopeless, but seeing myself get point scores I haven't seen since my day 1 struggles with the Inkbrush while Guilherme is out here with the goddamn .52gal getting 1500+ points is making me raise eyebrows off my forehead.
 
Whew I just did the final boss with the charger for the girl amiibo's challenge. Reminded me of how intense that boss was the first time I played it

For sure. I'm gonna try to come up with some ideas. I'm not the best artist, but I can work miiverse well enough, since I can erase and redraw forever. Haha
