that feeling when you have a kraken coming at you and a truck is blocking your escape route

 

[daydream]

first battle on port mackerel for me, seems cool! kind of a neutral battlezone.

Seriously. Heh.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

How is the NES Zapper? Good?

 

[Zemm]

Proof the matchmaking is garbage is the fact that teams can have 3 rollers on them when the map really doesn't benefit then that much :/

The best teammate in this game is a laggy Japanese person with a roller.

 

[Dr. Buni]

20 minutes is better than 4 hours.

Only if the other unreleased modes are shit, which I really doubt will be the case

How is the NES Zapper? Good?

Yeah. I love it. A shame it has the lame bomb as its sub weapon.

 

[Xeteh]

How is the NES Zapper? Good?

I really like it. Good range/fire rate and solid damage. Echolocator is awesome too.

 

[Ferrio]

How is the NES Zapper? Good?

Solid weapon.

 

[WALKMAN04]

I swear you guys were lucky that one I killed like 2 of you Then die and see my teammates doing nothing

 

[BlueSilver]

Do we have any GAF rooms going?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Can I play with you guys?

 

[Lombaszko]

It happened. My wife was playing when I was at work. She NEVER plays games. She likes it, prefers the roller so far. She hasn't played a game with me since Mario Kart Double Dash, only problem is we have to share online battles 4-ways now!
This game is the best.

 

[Malus]

I really like the current maps for this mode. Feels less snipery.

 

[SmithnCo]

lol when you think you're doing well and you look at the map and your rando team can't get past spawn campers.

 

[Blak_Status]

Do we have any GAF rooms going?

I'm currently joining your game.

 

[Zomba13]

I wish the game had some kind of match making that puts you with people whoi know how to play the game. I have 1000+ points on a losing team and the rest have a COMBINED 500. One guy was just staying at base covering every teeny tiny spot, not big spots, ones you couldn't even step on.

 

[WALKMAN04]

Guys the randoms we're playing with suck

 

[daydream]

join me, violet or walkman, we got a gaf game going

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

join me, violet or walkman, we got a gaf game going

What's your NNiD?
Nm

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Nothing like thinking you are good and then being completely massacred over and over again in splatzones. That was ugly, died 14 times.

You guys run ahead while he does the real leg work no one else has the courage to do

 

[Blak_Status]

I don't even see you guys as joinable

 

[BlueSilver]

What group is LtG?

 

[Malus]

Take over the zone and get a quadruple kill with one inkstrike. Oh yeah

 

[Shauni]

lol when you think you're doing well and you look at the map and your rando team can't get past spawn campers.

The best game I had, pointwise, was like that. I broke 900 points (no idea if this is good by GAF standards, but I average about 700 or so not counting the 300 winning point bonus). At the end of the match, looked at my map and it was just like....damn. It seemed like I had been the only one doing anything, felt that way anyway.

 

[ChosenPredator]

I think normal rank is more competitive, the rank matches have sort of created cheese tactics

 

[pringles]

Jet Squelcher is growing on me in ranked. The range is really useful.

 

[daydream]

ughh my team was.. not super great, let's say

two guys had 0-5 and 0-6 respectively (don't think they were gaffers)

nnid: windjamming, can't add you back while i'm still in a game though

 

[sonto340]

So is ranked just splat zones or does it cycle?

 

[WALKMAN04]

I don't even see you guys as joinable

That's been happening all day it doesn't show some ppl online don't know wats up

 

[princemarth23]

Just got B-. Feels good.

 

[Shauni]

Just splat zone, I think

 

[PreyingShark]

lol when you think you're doing well and you look at the map and your rando team can't get past spawn campers.

That pretty much sums up the Port Mackerel matches I had against DaBoss today.

I couldn't get nearly as many points as I would've liked because I had to stay on the spawn point and fire at people to get them to fuck off.

 

[Enforced]

I got the game. ^_^
I'm looking forward playing with you all.

 

[KevinCow]

I decided to try the roller again and did okay with it. It's not as useless as I thought. You just have to learn to run away if someone with a gun sees you. I'm also getting pretty good with the Killer Wail.

 

[pringles]

Great stuff when 2 guys on your team are afk in ranked..

So far I feel like Turf War is way more fun.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Is mudkips a gaffer? That name sounded familiar.

Edit: nm, didn't realize it was a name of a Pokemon :lol

 

[Mocha Nova Coffee Scotia]

Honestly I feel turf war allows for more solo play whereas in splat zones you can't really go solo without getting ganged up on. Might have something to do with it

 

[Blak_Status]

Weird

 

[Totakeke]

Blackbelly Skatepark ranked battles take so long.

 

[Haines]

OK someone explain the numbers below your capture timer in splatzones

 

[Boney]

Didnt think i'd like it but the short fast charge ría amazing!

 

[Mocha Nova Coffee Scotia]

OK someone explain the numbers below your capture timer in splatzones

Holding all zones decreases your timer. You win once you hit zero and if you get yours to zero without the enemy team lowering their timer much you get a knockout. KO means you get bonus points and enemy gets none

 

[mclem]

Time for bed, after doing a bleary-eyed double-take on realising I had Gaffers in my room. Clearly a sign I need sleep!

Edit:

What group is LtG?

They just happened to be here when I joined the lobby. There were two at first and later joined by a third.

 

[SmithnCo]

I got over 1000 and we weren't even close, lol

 

[Haines]

I mean the second set of number below the timers in game

 

[hillsighed]

Fuuuuck, the second I get some momentum in ranked I lose 6 games in a row

 

[WarAdept]

Blackbelly Skatepark ranked battles take so long.

I do agree, but god they make for some intense battles of attrition. If I didn't care about getting lots of gold and ranking up, they're my favourite.

 

[SmithnCo]

I got comm error'd

 

[Cuburt]

Probably already has been mentioned but I didn't realize would dominant rollers could be in the new Port level.

I was on a team with all rapid fire weapons against a team of all rollers and I laughed at how bad we would win (since that match up would weigh heavily in our favor in other maps) and we got destroyed. Not that I couldn't easily take out rollers in other times, but they are quick and the perfect size to fill those entire corridor. If you meet a roller walking though there, if you aren't the first to shoot, they could roll you over without barely having to adjust, especially since they could potentially be faster than you even in your squid form. It's like their speed and the close quarters completely works in their favor.
