Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Lag has been massively reduced - surprising no one - but lord are westerners awful at this game

Seriously. Because of how late I usually play, I have been playing mostly Japanese. When I fight Westerns, there is a notable drop in quality. I won't even try Rank.
 
My cunning plan is working. Decided to play Ranked games in small doses. Much easier to avoid losing runs. Baby steps. Baby steps lol
 
I always feel like I'm making a bad decision when I'm spending 30 grand on rerolling sub abilities lol. I got a bunch of ink saver main/recovery last night though so it all worked out just fine.
 

Great, they wait till I'm on holiday! This is Animal Crossing on Gamecube and its special events all over again - I always tend to miss them! I'll be so jealous of all those Splat fest gear wearing, Super Sea Snail carrying squid kids for weeks...

(I've had 3 weekends in which I could have participated Nintendo, 4 if you include the upcoming one which is right before my trip, but it had to be the 5th weekend here in Europe hadn't it!? Sigh...)
 
How's the new weapon? I didn't get a chance to play last night.

It's basically the AeroSpray but with a narrower spread and longer range. Good for inking, doesn't feel as great for combat due to there being more accuracy required but still decent. The loadout is... okay. Bomb Rush is the best when you have it with the Suction Bomb but I could think of better sub abilities for the weapon itself.
 
My copy arrived a couple of hours ago and it's been fairly fun so far - I'm placing at top of the team quite consistently! I don't see why you need to be level 4 to access the shops when there's a payment barrier anyway, but since you can reach that fairly quickly it doesn't really matter too much. It is a little irritating getting paired with mostly level 19 and 20s when I'm only a level 5 right now, since they're both more experienced and have better gear. Maybe it's because there aren't many lower levels playing right now?
 
B-: 80.


I can do this. 10-Win Streak.

Keep calm for 2 games and i'm there.

I guess it depends on what time you play.

Yesterday, I encountered a lot of folks in Turf War who were levels 8 and below. I say this as someone who is Level 20.
 
Game so far is so much fun. Single player is very simple and I don't enjoy it as much as the multiplayer, but it is a nice addition to the game.

Multiplayer is so good. Almost no lag, matches are so fun, tons of weapons are cool and the lobby mini game is fun too lol
 
so between last night and tonight I went from the C+ side of B- and ranked up to B with the splat-o-matic. really liking that set for splat zones and turf wars too. probably my favorite weapon at the moment.
