Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

I'm thinking about ditching Kelp. I learned to love the triangle bombs. Helps with Chargers' weakness that is vertical aiming.
 
Played some more with the Roller. There's really a whole world of strategy that chargers simply can't use effectively; wall hiding, corner camping, attacking out of a super jump, actually contributing to inking the stage. Echolocator really helps with the transition, as I'm used to being able to see where everyone is, from a safe sniper perch.

I'm still pretty bad at rolling though, especially with the dynamo. But I really need to diversify.
 
The trick is to only play the maps you're good at :P

Port Mackereal should be the easiest map to defend when you have 50+ lead though!

Expression used when all the players on a team play defensively, usually when the team is intending to draw the game or defending a narrow margin.


THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN!


But my team are like "Hur dur! Let's go for the enemy point, guys and leave MouldyK to defend against 1 Sniper, 1 Inkstrike and 2 people!".

NO! Because that's a f*cking stupid idea! You should f*cking defend our f*cking point and not just f*cking leave our f*cking point with little defense!


I wonder how they feel when suddenly they have died on their "Epic Quest" to take the enemy point and see "They control all Zones!"...because it ain't my fault!

Alright that'll do for me for now, good games! It was fun playing with GAF.

I'll add a couple of you guys for easy access in the future.
 
Yes, Port Mackerel is the map on Splat Zones that tells you if you have an incompetent team or not.

If they attack when you have the lead and the zones are in a neutral position (your team has your zone and the enemy team has their zone) and it isn't cause the whole enemy team (or nearly everyone) is dead, then you can determine that your team will screw you over.
 
Had some free time decided to continue my strink of Inkrillaz songs with 'Squid GitGud' (As in Clint Eastwood). Not the full version though

I am happy, I'm feeling fresh
Got my ink ready - gonna make a mess
Team's useless, don't cap the zone
It's Turf War that's going on
I'm splatting, I'm getting splat
It's like Sunshine mixed up with TAG
I'm useless - can't hold off my own
Gonna change now to the Krak-On
To the Krak-On
To the Krak-On
To the Krak-On
To the Krak-On...

Yeah... ha ha
Finally Arowana's not in the selection of stages
Time to go and ink Blackbelly 'til Orange becomes the new rage
Now there's ink on my hair
And it isn't that fair
My team just doesn't care
Japanese Rollers Everywhere
Invisible
Got the ninja squid to up and flanking you
Got the birdseye view
Splatting you? That's arrangeable, dude
And I know
just where to
go splat all those fools
Not named Moe
do you think this is some inkin' school?
Half-pipes, Grates and Pools, rest and you'll be screwed
Burst Bombs lighting fuses
You think it's easy, though?
Bubble-filled? Maybe
Inkstrike you
Your time's due
With what appears in the gamepad view
My streak is tasty
B-
To know the definition of what rank up is
C+
Because the matchmaking isn't tight, see
You like it?
Love it play up to the morning
Stay Fresh is my motto
And inkin' I gotta

I am happy, I'm feeling fresh
Got my ink ready - gonna make a mess
Team's useless, don't cap the zone
It's Turf War that's going on
I'm splatting, I'm getting splat
It's like Sunshine mixed up with TAG
I'm useless - can't hold off my own
Gonna change now to the Krak-On
To the Krak-On

Which is every team in B- and C+ apparently.


I just can't compute the game right now.
 
Just putting this out there: Underpass is by far the worst map currently in the game.

Sendou, buddy. I'm trying to synergize with you. Why didn't you jump to the tower so I could brushdown Grakl? :lol

I don't like it too much when you have to be on lookout for another Charger.
 
I actually really hate playing games against SM239.

Out of all of the GAF members I've named in a joke-y manner, he's the only one I'm legit about. Dude is an iron wall that just wants to press in and suffocate the life out of you.
 
Sniper can def help with inking stage dawg
I said that more in jest really.
I'm very familiar with how effective the chargers are when you have the right positioning for it. It's just not super consistant. You can't really go out and look for places to ink, you just have to ink as you go. It's more of a secondary objective compared to getting kills, creating paths, and pinning down foes.

Rollers feel like pure inking machines by comparison.
 
I don't get the hate for Underpass, I enjoy it.

3 entrances to the center, all of which are narrow alleyways. Makes the center too easily defend-able. Moving around the homebase isn't much fun either thanks to all the walls being non-inkable and weird grate positioning.

And skatepark is just a shitty version of Kelp Dome. Pretty amazing rotation overall.

Skatepark is the best map in the game, people will realize this soon enough.
