Guessing the stuff highlighted in blue can never be sub abilities then?
Nice to know. I assumed Ninja Squid was one as well.
Edit: Heh, I ordered the shirt I want and I have the shoes I want. I guess I am open to suggestions with headgear.
because splatter fire arcs, so they're literally jumping over your paint...

Stuff like this needs to be in OP. As well as the one that had weapon stats like Range and Damage.

Man this game really need costume DLC. I would pay so much money for Jet Set Radio clothes.

No news so far on any but the Ika-Musume collab huh? Hopefully that Famitsu competition thingamabob bears some cool results.

The Kraken Roller is crazy good, but I'm not really feeling it
It sort of feel like I'm choring around, doing all the hard paint job, while crazy gunners is getting all the splatting done, even though I usually get higher kill ratings with it. Rolling over people doesn't feel as good as a legit SPLAT from a gun for some strange reason.
weird
Splattershot Jr. is still my fave, even though I liked the Nzapper too. The Nzap runs out of ink crazy quick though
Going to test Aerospray next

So I tried a Ranked Battle for the first time yesterday. I've been reading through this thread since Splatoon came out and I know you've all been discussing tips frequently, but I'd just like to know the mindset you all have while going into these battles.
From what I understand you have to control particular zones within the battlefield. How do you this however when there seems to be two zones and you have teammates who aren't aggressive enough?
Is it best to find a hidden or higher up area to just stay there shooting to hold ground?
I spent more time warping back to the zones than actually covering territory because my teammates were inking the entire map instead of securing the zones, therefore leaving me alone to get my ass kicked. Is inking anywhere besides the zone important?
Sigh.

Try the Splattershot Pro.

I like ranked battles quite a bit but have to do them in spurts. They are so intense I feel myself getting stressed and that's just not fresh.
Sorry that you have shit teammates.
Inking areas outside the zone is situationally important -- map control is still useful in ranked, and inking around the map gains you meter. Your objective is to take control of the zones though, yeah.
Tbh you have to be aggressive and carry your team at low ranks. If there are two zones and you have to lead the charge for the other zone, then there you go.
I pretty much always play defensively, but it works out for me since I use the charger. I play like that in every game I play anyway.

I really hope we get a new map this week or during E3. A new weapon would be cool too.
Yeah, but the stress is addictive aswell because you are like "Next time i'll do better!"
On that note, it's time for my first Splatoon of the day!

Thanks for the advice!!
Have any of you guys captured any video of a really well-played Ranked Battle or know of any videos online that showcase this? Curious to see how it looks when it's done right.

Man, had the worst time yesterday. People dropping like flies. One match was 4 v 1. Awful.
Yeah so far I haven't done more than 4 ranked matches in a single play session.
I had a 2 v 4 match yesterday and just said fuck it and started flopping around as a squid in enemy territory and jumping off Saltspray Rig repeatedly

That's cool but it looks like it could use some further editing. For example, I thought all specials refilled your ink, not just Kraken?
Yea, they do.
They do. It's a useful reference, but not 100% accurate afaik, like most studies done by the community.
Oh, this looks even better than the one I found before! This thread moves so fast, hard to find the good stuff.
OP plz!

Also, I would be surprised to learn that kraken is the only special that takes more ink to charge up than the others, which are all the same?! I thought echolocator was the fastest to charge up.
What is your rank?
Inking around the the zone allows for flanking. Maybe you are confusing what they are doing but it depends on what rank you are. If you are C or C- then ye your team mates have no clue but B- and up they are probably allowing more room to swim to flank.

Wowy, found this on the squidboards. Some people are really lucky (or rich):
People were flanking like that in my C-/C matches yesterday, I think people are catching on really quickly

Brands matter, so it's way easier (about 5x time per perk) to get a perk specific to the brand.
MistressMoitie

I'm just a C and everyone else was that or C-. Good tips on the flanking though. That makes sense. From what I experienced they were inking and not really coming back to the zone to recover it and I was wondering why. Definitely a learning curve here but that's good. With your guys' advice I'll try again today and hopefully do better and hopefully with a more cooperative team!

I want those shoes and shirt

Gah! If Splatoon were fee-to-pay, people would be buying so many coins with actual cash to try and get that. That's basically the ideal setup, imho.
Do 3x Swim Movements make up for the Ninja Squid swim nerf? Probably. Man, what a great setup.

How do brands matter?
Basically, certain brands are more likely to have certain perks.

This was the glitch that got fixed, you could re-roll for free iirc

Ugh I hate that. A game about showing off your style yet the main abilities are locked, and secondary abilities are random with a skew towards certain abilities.

Yeah, 2x sub makes up for it already:

Nah, I used the glitch myself. It was only available for a short time, couple days at most, and you could only reroll every time Judd owed you money. So you could do it 3 times every 4 hours, max.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is legit. Plus you can order that gear in that exact config from Spyke, if you meet a person wearing any of those clothes.

What this shows me is that the N-Zapper ain't the best weapon...
But...
Bah, the game's not about killing, it's about spreading ink!
Plus it might even be the BEST weapon for killing, since it has echolocator. Not only does it increase your killing power, it also increases your friends' killing power!

Right click, saved. Best miiverse post yet!
Ranked is hard, because you cannot carry your team - the amount of times my team mates are double negative kill/death ratio is unbelievable. I'm not talking about someone having 1/2 or 2/5, I keep getting paired with people that die like 5-11 times in match in B+/A- ranking. As much as I try to carry them to a win it's impossibru

Poor Rapid Blaster all the way to the left.
Have not unlock .96 Gal yet, have to keep an eye on it.
Wat, Echolocator gives the perk to your entire team?
N-Zapper 4 Lyfe. Killing might not get me the most points but an enemy killed is an enemy that's not inking.

There was a glitch in Japan to get free rerolls via Seashells. Guess the person rerolled to get all x5 rolls.Wowy, found this on the squidboards. Some people are really lucky (or rich):
Pretty boss set-up though.
The glitch worked everywhere, not just Japan.
