And brush assassins.
The range that they have makes retreats a total coin toss on top of the whole "two hits and your dead". They also come with Sprinklers to run the same kind of lock down a brush user would attempt (coat area in opposing team's ink; take advantage of their lowered mobility) and the always friendly Echolocator to make that escape even more of a pain.
And the dual squelcher
Really, if anyone using a .96 sees me before I manage to get a hit or two on them I'm already dead
And everything lol. My only chance is to be really sneaky with seekers or grenades or shit like that. Going 1v1 against a .96 is ill-advised, even if you get the jump. The only time I think you've got it is if you can get them completely from behind if they have no idea you are there. Around a corner or anything like that is a terrible idea.

I love my .96. Sprinkler gets me all the coverage and traps/lures the enemy. Echolocator means the hunt is on.
I've only really done well with it when treating it as a mid-range weapon. Aerosprayers fuck my shit up so hard when close.
The .96 Gal is my preferred one due to greater offensive capabilities and the Echolocator being much more beneficial for targeting people. The .52 Gal Deco is probably the better one when it comes to Turf War, good balance of offense, inking and loadouts.
Dual Squelcher is really good against some things, but really bad against others. It's a balanced weapon. Got good range, and good rate of fire but it doesn't do anything outstanding. It's probably best for defending turf from high ground. It's advantages are that it's versatile up close and far away, but against some stuff it just fails miserably.
I wish they had an alt loadout with some better sub weapons. I love echolocator but it doesn't help me not to die lol.

Congrats, my man!
Yeah, Wii U Server have been acting weird yesterday, I never had any communication error that much until yesterday, and same for my friends.
Thanks!
Dual Squelchers are terrific support weapons.
My combat weapons are more tied to the sub choices than the primary. I'll take anything with the splash wall or the seeker. I also like Inzooka to combat chargers. Blasters are a totally different story though.
Guns are hard capped to not have their number of hits to KO decreased by increasing attack up. But it will negate defense ups that increases the number of hits.

My understanding is it can't increase the number of hits it takes to kill someone, so even with every possible slot taken up with an attack up it can't go higher than 49.9 damage

Sweet.
So Damage Up might be helpful to Chargers? Neat.
Also, me and my N-Zap have got back to B-!
I'm afraid to admit it...and it pains me...but Arowana Mall helped me get there...
Actually, looks like splatboards are using the terms "splatterhopping" and "splatterdashing"
Amazingly useful. I've said it a few times before, but I have enough damage up with my splatterscope (one main, two sub) to OHKO at ~70% charge, which makes life so much easier.

LOL thanks! The new inkling has already splattered on me.
Right? Didn't expect a Wii U bump at all, lmao
Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation reviewed the game and actually found it to be pretty fun. He criticized the lack of content and the current map cycles (even though he did mention that stuff will probably get patched in) and didn't find the single player that engaging but still praised the core of the game being inherently good and praised Nintendo on creating a new triple A IP.

Did he crap all over the Wii U for no real reason again? (Much like how he crapped on PS4/XBONE in the beginning of Witcher 3 for no real reason)
Yahtzee, while overly sarcastic, is pretty fair in his reviews. Can't blame him for criticizing the lack of content, you gotta review the game that is there. I'd find it hard to believe people can play Splatoon and not have fun, though. Even if it isn't really your thing, the game is just simple fun... except when I'm yelling expletives at my TV screen cause that was some bullshit, he didn't even hit me and this game is rigged.
Edit: This is one of his funnier reviews in a while. Good stuff.

I don't think he ever said "Wii U."
Here's the official tumblr's post about the new stage http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/121195523094/a-new-stage-kelp-dome-will-be-added-to-splatoon
Actually go figure, I don't remember him complaining about the Wii U hardware or the controls once. He took shots at Nintendo but that's already been covered.
He did near the beginning when attempting to come up with silly ink puns. "I th-ink there will be an ink-rease in the number of Wii U sales with this ink-redible title".
Which is at least true in Japan!
They love the Wii U, gamepad controller helps heaps as they can just use gyro to acurately aim !
He's a PC guy. You can't really be too shocked, he's basically the origin of the "PC Master Race" meme.
Which is sad because he was using the term ironically when he came up with it.
That is also true.
That bicycle shorts comment at the end...

He is also the first person I can remember that wears a Fedora on the internet...

...Splatoon needs Fedoras.
Isn't it tomorrow?
I know right? I was under the impression that they are noobs when it comes to shooters just to end up getting slaughtered by them in every match :S
It's tonight for the US. Tomorrow morning in Japan
