I am having exceptionally bad splatzone luck.

I should probably stop for the night.

 

[Blunoise]

Well, I finally got to rank B in ranked, now it's gonna be hell getting any further, isn't it?

Yea with only like 8 points a win, idk if I even want to stress geting to rank A-

 

[Jintor]

By the way pay attention to the squids above your head. If the entire enemy team is DEAD maybe push up GODDAMNIT TEAMMATES

 

[Timeaisis]

Good work, team.

OMG, yes I am alway screaming on the screen when I use an ink tornado or kill the other teammates to find out my team are in some stupid corner inking the floor.

Look at your stupid gamepad!!!

 

[Aarglefarg]

I took a break and started up Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, which loaded right as a fight was starting...and I forgot how to aim. I'd been using motion controls to help aim in Splatoon more than I realised.

 

[Chezzymann]

So GAF hates the aerospray now? I think its great. Yeah its not the best for medium/long distance combat but it gets a lot of coverage and I generally get a lot of kills with it since I mostly fight people close range. After switching to it I went from 600-700 p per game without the bonus to 900-1100

Added my NNID to the spreadsheet. Woo

No, you get 10 points per win under normal circumstances. If there are player(s) with a lower rank than you on the opposing team, then you gain less points if you won the match and lose more points if you lost the match. If there are player(s) with a higher rank on the opposing team, you gain more points if you won the match and lose less points if you lost the match.

I vote this to be the OT subtitle.

Protip: Keep a more frequent watch on the gamepad, especially on the last minute.

I thought my team was doing well since we had covered most of the middle of the map and was approaching close to the other team's base. On the last minute I looked down and saw that the other team had already moved past us and just about completely covered our end of the map, so it was like this weird sandwich of the other team's ink covering the greater part of both ends of the map with us right in the smaller middle. Wish I could have taken a snapshot.

And I'm thinking, "Really? Nobody else on my team noticed this?"

 

[Enforced]

I don't know what's the name of the music but it's stuck in my head now. lol

 

[Totakeke]

Lol Ferrio.

 

[jnWake]

I'm getting so many comm errors today :-/

Played a few with TWILT. We were making a good team.

EDIT: Yesterday I used the Jet Squelcher. It's damn good. The shower sub is great for chokepoints. I dominated in Port Mackerel with it.

Yeah, you don't notice after a while. Loving this game. Made it to level 10 finally.

 

[daydream]

xeteh pls, you know i got and *will* use those mines

Oh I see. A lot of calculations go into ranking points, thanks

 

[Jintor]

ADD MY NNID YOU BASTARDS

 

[Boney]

ADD MY NNID YOU BASTARDS

Wait what time is it there :lol

I would but I don't have it dude!

 

[Ferrio]

You aerospray motherfuckers.

 

[Timeaisis]

A sad display

It's really a testament to how brilliant the motion controls in this game work that you forget you're using them so quickly. Almost hard to believe that no one tried this control method in their games before.

 

[daydream]

You aerospray motherfuckers.

get sprayed son

I know they're there, but I'm playing like shit and I'm too slow.

Splatoon |OT2| Pay Attention to the Squids Above Your Head

I like it.

I wish I could play, but I gotta study for finals next week ;_; I'll get in a couple hours later tonight though.

"Unable to connect to the server"

UUGGGGHHH

The one damn time I finally take interest in a multiplayer-focused game, & I can barely connect to play with others.

I can't even connect to freakin' buy weapons.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Mackeral is by far the best stage for turf war, the end results are also the most intersting

 

[DaBoss]

Oh I see. A lot of calculations go into ranking points, thanks

I forgot, you may gain/lose less/more points depending on your team mates rank as well.

I think it does an average of some sort based on the teams' rankings.

 

[Geg]

slayage by us, good going t--

oh they had a dc (._. )

lol it never really feels good when you win that way

 

[Totakeke]

LOL it's hilarious watching Ferrio and Boney both falling to their deaths after splatting me.

 

[daydream]

nicely done, team!

I know they're there, but I'm playing like shit and I'm too slow.

it happens, i'm still dying like an idiot to mines quite often

 

[Gsnap]

I hate to leave on a good note, but I gotta go. Good matches guys (except that last one). It was fun having MG battles with you, Skies. Glad you finally broke out of that bubble. : p

 

[Timeaisis]

Yaaaaas

 

[Moondrop]

I just can't with the Dynamos. It's not just the wind-up but also the ink consumption and rolling speed. Bring on the the Inkbrush.

In other news, I've acquired the amiibo 3-pack, my first (and hopefully only) amiibos ever. This game- what have you made me do.

I'm also of the opinion that not many people glance at the gamepad.

Also, you can tell by the size of your squids at top center who's winning of losing

 

[Skiesofwonder]

good goo...


..I hate you

Picture cage shark diving without the cage. That's how it would be without my bubble against you.

 

[Munkyspace]

Yay comm error. :|

 

[SmithnCo]

lol did everyone error?

 

[Feltrol]

Added my NNID to the spreadsheet. Woo

Awesome! Looking forward to playing with you.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

lol did everyone error?

I think so. :/

 

[Totakeke]

That didn't go so well.

 

[Boney]

Ay we got carried hard

Dynamo's are great on Skatepark and Port Mackerel. Maybe the mall and underpass too.
On the warehouse and saltspray rig though? Completely useless. Too much between the halves of the zone for its extra range to be remotely useful.

I think I played with the best damn .52 Gal Deco I've ever seen. Just got on the sniper spot in Saltspray Rig, covered the zone every time it got dirty, and seemed to know exactly when to use the seekers, even when we were in squid form. It was some seriously scary shit.

I think it's more that positioning myself to take advantage of its strengths clashes with whatever "style" I have.

 

[Zonic]

HEH, I noticed if you look into the Battle Dojo, you can see the Wii U Game Pad & a few white Pro Controllers on the left hanging, then on the right, black Pro Controllers.

Also starting to wonder if it's not just me who can't connect.

 

[daydream]

ok that one hurt

 

[Boney]

Not a fan of the SplatterPro on skatepark.

Not a fan of the SplatterPro on skatepark.

Splattershot Pro seems like the natural predator of Dual Squelchers.
