holy shit i went 21 splats to 3 dissolves that ranked match. This game is nuts

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Sorry, I meant skatepark has two splatzones!

lol really? That should be far more chaotic than just one, or am wrong?

 

[Ansatz]

lol really? That should be far more chaotic than just one, or am wrong?

It's basically the same order as the other maps as both zones are near the center tower, but due to the sheer size of the map it does become more chaotic and less orderly.

 

[tim.mbp]

Lol at those random.
Will accept the request now.

I'm online, waiting in queue to join in.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm online, waiting in queue to join in.

Yeah I'm also waiting to join Sendou

 

[NotLiquid]

lol really? That should be far more chaotic than just one, or am wrong?

It's definitely more multitask dependent.

 

[Razmos]

I think for the first time in my life, I'm actually good with a sniper in a video game.

Ranked with the Kelp Splat Charger is literally just the best thing ever.

 

[BooJoh]

Spent over an hour making this.


Worth it.

Spoiler

I got lazy on the bottom letters though

I saw this randomly in my plaza tonight.

 

[tim.mbp]

Let's do this! Dont splat me.

One last thought from getting dominated on the new map. That map needs at least one aggressive charger on the team or you're never going to make it out of your spawn. My .96 gal was ok, but the charger makes roads every shot where I need a couple seconds to do that for one direction. You end up getting clowned on super quick after the first initial contact decides who keeps painting where.

You guys didn't use the two side paths enough. However the biggest issue you faced seemed to be my echo locator which is just incredible on that map. Really one of the best specials.

Fuck u red!!!! GG man lol

Is there anything worse than falling into the fucking water
Did it like 4 times

Jumping into it because you don't want to give someone else the satisfaction of a kill.

Or maybe forcing someone to choose between suicide and death by wail is worse.

 

[Robiin]

Don't worry too much about your clothes and the perks just play. You can worry about having the right perks once you've found your play style.

Alright, thanks! People are talking about three-star equipment and stuff. I am just here inking everything with my zapper!

 

[Kouriozan]

Ah I was terrible the whole match :x

 

[Jackano]

Anyone else pissed of at ranking mode?

We only get 500 points when winning, nothing when loosing.
So I will not play the new mode or with only lv.10+ people until I got my level from 17 to 20.

Even so, people still need way more than 500 points per victory game in order to buy extra gear. It doesn't makes sense.

You get more than that. The 500 is just a bonus like the 300 in turf war

You get more points if you win AND splat people. Not sure if it changes, but I was getting a 1300 point bonus after the games I won, for a total of 1800 points per win.

500? Is that without the win bonus?

I was getting 1800 at C- rank and 2100 at C rank.

500pts for a knockout + the winning pts, which is like 1,300.


Or if you just don't win by knockout, then like 300pts and the 1,300 winning pts.

You get nothing for Splatting, just for how much is left in your meter at the end.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ah, much better :lol
Oh damn, a DC.

 

[RedFyn]

At c rank I was getting over 2k per win.

Yeah the points go up at higher ranks

Even if they didnt 1300 is a lot

 

[Jackano]

i'm probably super late but I just realized this

Booyah Base = Bouillabaisse, a type of fish stew

It's the first thing I was thinking of but I didn't knew it was fish and I didn't though it was going to be a reference to a non-english/non-japanese thing.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Even the german translation has those puns, the really went all out in that game

Thx. THB I just played one game this morning to see the update b4 going to work. Will try again this evening then.
My team lost with 0pt and the the vilains won 500pts by capturing the base IIRC lol.

 

[Manoko]

This would make it unbalanced since you could be in a team with 3 of your homies facing 4 randoms who are not in sync with eachother.


And I know people would also complain when they are on their own in Splatzones facing 4 Japanese Elite Yakuza Generals with 3 randoms.

Easy, make it so individual players entering matchmaking don't get matched against teams.

It's not that hard, you're inventing problems that shouldn't exist in the first place given an average quality matchmaking system.

 

[MGrant]

Ahhh, I was confused by the "knockout bonus." Figured it referred to KOing people, but I get it now. Still, the 1300 point bonus is nice; if you have a decent team you'll earn points much faster. That's a big "if," though...

 

[Kouriozan]

Yay roller train :lol

 

[Rize_21]

Better to keep the dynamo roller for ranked matches, don't get it in turf wars.

 

[Kouriozan]

Wait, I didn't die in that match.

 

[Rezbit]

Wait so is there any way to join people in ranked?

 

[?oe?oe]

Points don't matter when you can't go past level 20... yet. EDIT: Actually your gear matters.

Just coins.

 

[Jintor]

the rage is real, so mad at my team every second match lol

 

[Robiin]

How are you supposed to counter rollers?

 

[Sendou]

This map is Nintendo's gift to Chargers.

 

[Kouriozan]

Every GAFer have a stronger level than me.

 

[Jintor]

How are you supposed to counter rollers?

jump over them

ink up a wall and shoot them from above

flank them in ink

run backwards and fire

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Can't get the hang of chargers...

 

[Sakura]

Made it to B-.
Got dominated last game though. Try to leave my base? There is a mine there. Try to go around? Charger already there with a shot ready. In the middle of taking a dude down? Buddy runs in front of me blocking my shots then we both die. Think I'll call it a night.

 

[Kouriozan]

The lag is real.

 

[Sendou]

Can't get the hang of chargers...

1) Point the cursor at an enemy player.

2) Wait until cursor gets crosshair

3) Release button

 

[Scrawnton]

I didn't get a chance to play lastnight after the update and I'm already at work. Any word on how you get the zapper?

 

[Razmos]

You buy it from the weapon shop.

Yes, that makes sense

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I don't I don't mind ranked play affecting, well, your rank negatively, but it really should at least give XP for the matches.

Everyone's gonna be lvl 20 soon anyway

god people must play a LOT. I just hit 10 last night and put some good hours in.

Turns out I'm the best with the roller

after playing enough to hit 10, I've realised i'm terrible with ammo. I die OFTEN from running out of ink while getting stranded in enemy ink, running away no worky.

I like the mechanics a lot though, fight in your ink, slowly inch forward. I'm getting a lot better at retreating and staying hidden. it's often better to run/regroup than to just charge in and get wrecked.

 

[StayDead]

1) Point the cursor at an enemy player.

2) Wait until cursor gets crosshair

3) Release button

Not only that but always be looking to fire into enemy ink wherever possible. If you fire behind them and infront of them if they try and retreat they get slowed in your ink for an easy kill for you.

 

[Kouriozan]

That last push was epic :lol

 

[Sendou]

Not only that but always be looking to fire into enemy ink wherever possible. If you fire behind them and infront of them if they try and retreat they get slowed in your ink for an easy kill for you.

I almost always rather go for the kill but that's an useful tactic every now and hten.

 

[Razmos]

How can you have 0 points but die twice, unless you were purposefully losing? eurgh.
