Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Full lobby and the counter is still going down from 200. At 15 seconds someone just dropped and a new guy joined. Timer reset to 200... This is purgatory.
 
Apparently if 5 people with the suction bomb rush activate it all at once and spam, you can drop the fps in this game lol. I see it has potential to be the next aerospray but I'll have to play around with it some more.

You only need two bomb rushes at once, inkstrike optional. It's the performance killer.

And a reminder that rapid deco also has suction rush. The other two rushes are currenty exclusive to the starting charger and splattershot.

Although it makes me wonder if the roller was going to initially have suction rush. It would give a feeling of balance among the three most basic variants.
 
Okat, scrap my plans. The new weapon ruins Ranking right now as everyone uses it.

See you guys tomorrow when the gun is no longer Fresh.
 
You can easily control Warehouse standing on the middle tower. As long as your team doesn't completely suck ass that is. The middle is way harder to take though.
This is...sort of how I feel about the warehouse, actually. One person can easily hold down the long ramp and much of the center if they hang back around the center and keep the ramp inked, making it very obvious if someone is trying to charge down that way. Coming straight down the middle is pretty easy to see as well regardless of whether they literally just charge down or try and hop down from the higher areas. That just leaves the other side-pocket, which has the two entrances and some grate platforms, which can be easily viewed and guarded by a single person. Two good players can essentially hold the entire middle down, leaving the rest of the team to distract and harass by predictably continuing to try and attack up the middle.

Not trying to discredit the shade on underpass, I guess, but I am a little surprised that I'm seemingly the only person to have run into this impression. I still haven't played with GAF properly so maybe I'm just winding up in rooms with wonky teams, who knows. I've seen it play out enough to know I'm not a big fan of Walleye showing up multiple rounds in a row, though.

well the side entrances leave at least some potential for ambushes though admittedly once a team is being pushed out of the center it's kind of difficult to mount a comeback. I do think the Warehouse gives you a few more options to approach the middle than Underpass, but both maps often tend to be rather one-sided

as a side note, I've never actually attempted to use the crates in middle as a sniper position since the position seems to be rather exposed, I should try that
 
That feel when you're over 1K points and haven't died once while destroying people at the base with the Splash-o-matic's insane stats + loadout (you can control so much space with Suction Bombs and Suction Bombs lead to some hilarious setups).

That feel when that match cuts off at the 8 second mark on the countdown. :(
 
Splash-o-matic is cool I guess. I was hoping for a more interesting playstyle given the cool look of it. So, N-zap = more accurate Splat Jr. and Splash = more accurate Aerospray? Does that sound about right? Hopefully there aren't too many more SMG variants, the orange N-zap is a must though.

The suction bomb rush is so good. The Rapid Blaster Custom has it too but hardly anyone uses it, I don't think I've every seen another player use the suction rush until now.
 
After 40hours of Splatoon i just noticed you can testrun every map alone..

Yup! Isn't that awesome?

Yeah that was ny initial impression of the weapon as soon as I saw its stats. Didn't really but it at first glance, but those suction bombs are amazing I'm sure.

I'm still waiting on that E-Liter 3K Scope...
