Illmatic is great too but I don't listen to one song from it exclusively for hours a day.

You're entering some shark filled waters, fam. You can't praise the god's album and give a "but" afterwards.
I wanted to like the rapid blaster but couldn't get into it
the vanilla blaster is where it's at. splatting someone by shooting around a corner is great.
good man

Do you listen to it for hours a day still? If not, my point is made.

Back into the fray after a good night's sleep.
Will I lose my first three ranked games and hit C+? Let's see...

Kelp dome is my favorite map. Its the first map that has wide open spaces which, considering every other map so far is essentially a bunch of narrow corridors for the most part, makes things interesting in that it changes the pace up. For this reason Im also excited for the skyscraper map as that is introducing some vertical elements that have been sorely lacking from other maps.
Also in kelp dome, there isnt one specific choke point which is awesome. Thats one thing I hated about the other maps, if you control one area you basically control everything.

Never said I didn't agree with you
Illmatic is the bible though, play it at night and you won't act right

I dunno, I get in combat a lot. Maybe Im just picking fights though. If I see an enemy guy painting our turf in the distance Ill run at him and splat him (or try to)
Third time I'm posting this but... Echolcator.
Kelp Dome is turning out to be my most combat heavy map. I love hunting those innocent rollers...
Technically, you are correct, as I wouldn't call what I do "combat". More like shooting fish in a barrel.
I think the best defense is a good offense on this stage. If you are just running around re-spraying over enemy ink, your win/loss is a coin flip. I spray until I get echolocator on, then beeline straight to the enemy and splat wit my .96!

Hmmmm... if you want additional survivability, how about trying a weapon that has Bubbler or Kraken? Once you build up your special meter you can use either to give yourself some more breathing room, and Bubbler is an excellent support special that helps your allies out as well. Otherwise, I think the nature of the game is that your survivability is very dependent on your mobility. Keep inking and always attack from the sides or from behind!
I don't really do this often myself, but I feel like I should. What happens is that whenever you shoot with the Blaster or Rapid Blaster, you basically slow down so much that you essentially stop moving for about a half or a full second. And that's really bad, because then you're a very easy target at that point. Jumping is supposed to compensate by making you a slightly harder target during your "cooldown" from shooting, but that doesn't always work out.
Oh goodness no, a direct hit with the normal Blaster is an OHKO, that's very much what a Blaster user wants to do. Aiming a little higher than normal is also good for a Blaster, because the projectile won't actually explode correctly if it hits terrain before it goes the full distance. That's actually a very slight nerf to the range of a Blaster now that I think about it, but it's maybe not too bad...
For Rollers, jumping helps by extending the distance that the ink will travel. I believe this applies for Rollers and Splattershot style weapon.
Ooooo, I want to test this :3 Been having fun with Rapid Blaster Deco, and I was asking earlier about what perks I should try...

NY State of Mind. No question!
The rapud deco is notable because it's the only weapon with suction rush.
Speaking of which I wonder if we'll get seeker rush. Would probably be outclassed by inkzooka, but meh.

Mackeral doesn't really have a choke unless you're very good at lane control.
It's not too difficult for the other team to hold the two lanes out of the spawn point because they have a wide space to work with while you only have lanes and even the higher areas have fairly predictable exit areas.

You don't use Damage Ups to secure a 2HKO. You use it so that any chip damage at all gets you an OHKO. So if they walk in enemy ink for even a split-second, for example, you can OHKO.

I got a comment removed today for telling someone else how to send me a friend request within Miiverse. Apparently the admins misread it and thought I was saying how to send a friend request in some way they don't support... I almost kinda wish Miiverse and GAF would swap moderation policies with one another for a day, just to see the carnage...
!
I see, so that's the reason. I actually thought most of they time they were used to negate defense up. Thank you for the tip.
This is the oddest Splatoon post I've seen.
What a way to find out.
As for actual Splatton posts, Kelp Dome is a'ight. Inkzooka is really helpful for the walkways from below.
People need to realise that inking their base even a little on the way out is pretty useful for the whole winning thing.

Aerospray is so stupid on that new map.
yeah definitely my go-to with kelp dome
seekers are really fun to use on that map too, especially from above
But playing with people who are good at the game is the best way to get better!

I've noticed that can happen when ANYONE in the current match is having issues. It's only a matter of time until you or someone else drops off and then it clears up.
What? A new map has dropped? I've been out of the loop the past week
Just yesterday, yeah. Or day before... who can remember.
It happened to me yesterday and two of my teammates and three of our opponents dropped. It was just one lone charger left fending off me and another guy
Fair enough. I added myself to the spreadsheet. Good God, there's so many people to add!
So is there a way to reduce disconnects? I am using an USB LAN adapter and even disconnected my laptop from the internet. The last few days were horrible. The game became basically unplayable for me. I tried it again today:
Completed one match, followed by 5 disconnects.
Completed one match, followed by 3 disconnects.
Completed two matches, followed by 5 disconnects.
Every match there's a phase in the first 30 seconds where my ink takes about 5 to 10 seconds before it either shows up or I get disconnected.
I never had any problems with MK8, COD:BOII or COD:Ghosts.

Okay, I understand losing points on your disconnects, but if you're 1x4 on Splat Zones from 30 seconds into the match don't make me lose the goddamn full 10 points.
Got my first connection unstable message during the match.
Also in one of the match my team only spawn 3 members and yet somehow we won. :O
My gear is also starting to finalize in terms of look and what I want out of them, just need to get extra power and one that prevents speed drop in enemy's inks.
I don't, I find it unfair that I lose point just for my Wi-Fi disconnecting as that is beyond my control and I should not be punished for it.
Thankfully it doesn't happen to often.

If you didn't lose points for disconnecting people would just turn off their Wii U's whenever a match turns sour.
Don't know about that. I get my highest kill counts in Kelp Dome. You just need to know how to use the catwalks to your advantage.

Never thought I'd make 1800 on Turf Wars. Then again, there's so much ground to cover in Kelp Dome.
