[phanphare]

I need to get gear with that and the two Ninja abilities, then just chill in the zone all game and sneak up on anyone who tries to take it.

I go with Opening Gambit, Ninja Squid, and Ink Resistance

Liking .96 gal. Really powerful.

Fuuuuuuck .96 gal.

 

[Robotguy]

Japanese players, go to sleep, stop lagging

That's probably what the Japanese players were thinking about me when I was playing a 2am this morning.

 

[MouldyK]

Ahahahaha, damn dude

It's brutal sometimes.

I mean, i've had to actually tool myself to be an actual teamplayer rather than just in it to grind my gear up.


Rough times.

 

[RagnarokX]

Long.. waits? Uhh.. I think 20 seconds may the be the max time I've had to wait. Never have time to get very far in squid jump :-/

Ranked battles can sometimes take a minute or more to fill up. I just had a lobby almost time out today.

I just reached Rank B-

Yay

 

[Grakl]

Everybody wearing the Blue Moto boots?

 

[Sendou]

I can totally understand now why .96 has killed me so many times.

I need those boots

Have you learned the ancient art of Seeker-fu yet? It's the best.

 

[TheGoddamn]

4 gaffers and counting on this lobby if anyone is interested.

Added you! I'm Candido.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

A few days ago in the morning I went to Spyke to buy a 3 star shirt I had ordered. He told me 15,000.

I diligently battled to earn that money, ranking up a bit in the process.

Go back to Spike in the afternoon...

"Whoa, you're looking really funky fresh mate! Shirt's 30,000."

D: D: D:

wait he changes his prices based on your cash huh?

We need Squid-Police Skyke is not right
and we are going to give him those terrified little guys he keeps?

that is creepy as hell

The Splatoon mantra is this: if my team wins, it was due to my excellent skill. If my team loses, fuck my teammates they're trash.

 

[Timeaisis]

when does OT2 go up?

 

[Azure J]

Seekers + a stupid assault weapon + Ninja Squid = fucking Strider mode. Nothing but assassinations.

More like the mantra of any team-based game.

When this thread starts skirting close to 20000 replies (400 pages).

 

[random25]

Almost there at C+...this is a struggle!

 

[ViviOggi]

just demolished a 4 roller team on ranked mall lmao

nice matchmaking

Now imagine what he uses that screwdriver for that he keeps next to him. There's a reason those Sea Snails are trembling.

 

[Xeteh]

I can totally understand now why .96 has killed me so many times.

Range/damage on it is just so dirty. I really like it too.

I just need to stop playing like garbage right now.

 

[Sendou]

Added you! I'm Candido.

Gonna accept after this.

 

[Geg]

Everybody wearing the Blue Moto boots?

I'm wearing the black or brown ones. It's only 2 stars though

 

[Makonero]

More like the mantra of any team-based game.

More so when you can't talk to anyone!

 

[Regiruler]

9-0 with dual squelcher

Spoiler

Unranked, but still

 

[Neiteio]

Everybody wearing the Blue Moto boots?

Yep! With the schoolgirl outfit. Although when I play casually, I wear the school shoes, too.

 

[backlot]

Everybody wearing the Blue Moto boots?

I sure am. Ink Resistance is the best ability.

 

[Kouriozan]

Switching to Aerospray to level up my gears quickly in random, I might switch weapons a lot then I'll join a GAF lobby late tonight (in about 3 hours).

 

[DaBoss]

I've become so bored of Squid Jump that I now try to see how fast I can get to the duck(?) and then fall down and die. It seems to take around 30 seconds to do all of that for the first 5 stages or so.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I realized that ranked battles helped me out a lot with learning the stages and dramatically improved my performance on turf wars.

more like 42 pages ... we have about 4,200 posts to go

Possibly rank, actually. I don't know.

Paint It Blue
By the Shoaling Stones
-Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, EskimoJoe, Baron Von Loathsome
-Lovingly ripped off from the Rolling Stones
-Original for reference

I see an Orange floor and I want it painted Blue.
No Purple anymore, I want it to turn Blue.
I see squid-girls walk by dressed in Jelonzo's Clothes
I have to go next door and buy some hats from Moe's

I see a line of shops and they're all painted Blue
For hours now, I think new maps are overdue.
I see people turn to squids and quickly swim away
Maybe I could hit one if I used my Aerospray.

I look behind myself and see I'm out of Blue
I see my Orange floor, I must have it painted Blue
Maybe I'll just swim away and fill my tank anew
It's real easy filling up when your whole world is Blue.

No more will my Green sea go turn a deeper Blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you.
If I paint long enough with my paint machine gun,
Inkstrikes will overwhelm and Orange team will succumb.

I see an Orange floor and I want it painted Blue.
Don't bother painting walls, I don't care if they're Blue
I see squid-girls walk by dressed in Jelonzo's Clothes
I have to go next door and buy some hats from Moe's

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

I want to see it painted, painted blue, blue up high, blue down low
I want to see the Orange blotted out from Walleye.
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted blue, yea

I think the prices change based on the number of stars for a piece of equipment. It might be level. My first thing I ordered was a backwards cap (one star) and that was cheap. But I was low leveled too.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Heh I just bought those blue motor boots yesterday from the shrimp dude and I've been wearing them since then. Didn't realize they were so popular.

 

[backlot]

It's a zapfish.

 

[Xeteh]

Going to make food and then come back. Hopefully I'll be playing a bit better by then.

 

[Kid Ska]

It's a zapfish.

Welp my mind is blown.

 

[beta_fuse]

Is it? Haven't noticed any lack of content and I have like 35 hours clocked in the game already.

Well I meant lack of online content. I guess I'm just used to more modes, options and voice chat but in terms of fun it really isn't lacking at all.

 

[Ansatz]

The Splatoon mantra is this: if my team wins, it was due to my excellent skill. If my team loses, fuck my teammates they're trash.

I hate it when I kill my guy and possibly two, activate echolocator and get trade killed, but then my teammates fail to capitalize on my play and it gets turned into a retake situation.

But nothing is better than acing the entire enemy team before the first guy I killed even spawned. I have done that twice today.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Well I meant lack of online content. I guess I'm just used to more modes, options and voice chat but in terms of fun it really isn't lacking at all.

More modes will be added eventually (two other ranked modes) as well as more maps and weapons. But you probably know that already ^_^

 

[Boney]

Oh man that was super close!

 

[Makonero]

I won a match today in ranked by 1 point. We had gone into overtime and just taken the lead when the whole thing ended.

1 point.

I was giddy beyond belief. For whatever reason, those games are far more satisfying than straight up domination.

 

[Kouriozan]

Almost forgot to check Judd before the maps rotation.

 

[R.D.Blax]

Splatzone will probably kill me one day, but it's so good ! Come back in that mode are so satisfying

Because you KNOW that your contribution was massively helpful. Maybe that one point was all you, something you did at some point that changed the whole outcome.

 

[Sendou]

Oh man that was super close!

Nah that was!

 

[Neiteio]

We need story DLC telling the Octarians' side of the story.

In fact, make it a musical.

CUTTLEFISH:

Octavio... At last!
We see each other plain
Your ink... It's purple...
It's such a friggin' paaaaain

OCTAVIO:

Before you lock me up in a snowglobe again
Before you treat me like plankton again
Listen to me!
There is something I must do

(bada bum bum)

This octo leaves behind a suffering child
There is none but I who can intercede
In mercy's name,
Three days is all I neeeeeed!

And then I will return
I give you my word
Then I will return—

CUTTLEFISH:

You must think me mad!
I've inked you across the years!
'Pus like you can never change
A 'puuuuuuuuus, such as yoooooouuu

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Whoa I always thought it was a duck and never understood why. A zapfish makes a bit more sense.
