I'd say just go for it. Cat eye might be better than cat face if you don't have the space. Then again, cat paws would probably be a bit easier.
I know. I should've been pissed, but I just couldn't be. Their comeback was too amazing.
I asked this before. The Google docs is too large to really add everyone and it's impossible to tell who is still active.
So if anyone wants to add someone who plans to be active on the game for a while yet add me - Zemmes
I will add you when I get back home, I won't be playing much Turf War until I claw my way back to the A Rank.
follow the thread to check who is playing regularly, it's probably the easiest way to get into GAF room
if anyone wants to add me, I have a terrible connection just a fair warning
That gif reminds me of my losses in Splat Zone in overtime.

Once E3 is over, I'm going to jump back in. Looking forward to it.
Wonderful game. Got it last Monday. Bought the amiibo three pack and got that on Saturday. Basically... beat the single player four times. Fun times.
Me and a buddy have been playing together, either with or against, in normals. I'm 17 and he's 18. Some days we get wrecked and other days we do really well like yesterday. We'd probably get wrecked in ranks though, easily. =p
I noticed that the amiibo costumes you get only have three abilities while costumes you can get in the shop have four attributes. The samurai costume, for instance, has three abilities for head/torso/feet. Is there a way I can get four abilities for that set since my character looks way better in the samurai costume than the other stuff I have right now?

Once you hit 20 you can buy super sea snails from Spyke to give your equipment another slot.
What's the best abilities to play the N-Zap 85?
Atm I've got
Special charge up
Quick respawn
Quick super jump
Swim speed up
Defense up
Ink recovery up
And run speed up
I like it a lot, but is the N-Zap a smelly weapon? I don't see it used often despite me feeling like it's pretty kickass

I doubt that's the real Andre, the real one is probably in e3. I could be wrong though.
Region lock doesn't have to be forced; plenty of games provide an option for it. I'd be happy to wait a bit longer in lobbies if it meant I'd stop being splatted by players who died three seconds ago.
It's a fine weapon. I think people just prefer weapons with flashier specials/subs.

Why tenacity? I rather use gear that always has an effect instead of a rare situation.
That's almost identical to the gear I used to get to A-. Used the same weapon, too!
Main difference is, I hated the hat options available for Tenacity, so I used opening gambit instead. Getting into a nice position early on with the .96 gal was very handy, and helped compensate for my complete lack of skill.
1- Start up Splatoon after a hard day work. B+42
2- Loose 3 matches in a row. Good teammates, close to winning but lost them all. B+12
3- Communication error while winning 8 vs 100. B+02
4- Win a match against 3 players from the beginning, unfair but a easy win. B+12.
5- Communication error in the middle of a good match. B+02
6- Communication Error after like 5 fucking seconds in the match. B70
7- Two games in a row versus OP asians. B50
Yesterday i was fucking B+92 before loosing a few matches. I feel like crying.
I find myself to be a great player, not OP at all, i make dumb move a lot, but i can own and carry my teammates kinda easily most of the time. I accept loosing points for a loss, even if and i did great and ad a bad team or whatever.... but those FUCKING communication errors piss me off really bad.
I can play like 15 match in a row and not even get a single trace of lag, But then just to piss me off while i'm so close to A- i get a shitload of communication error. 3 today, 4 yesterday. thats 70 fucking precious points. and they fucking make you loose 30 points by going from B+00 to B70.
I hope Nintendo find a way to fix that with a patches.

Great weapon, my primary weapon in Turf War. Not the best range but it outranges the Aerospray which is very common and the damage/rate of fire is quite nice for charging in on anything that does outrange you.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about abilities too much, but just try and stay away from the Attack/Defense/Bomb Range as they would probably be a waste. And you can never go wrong with Ink (Main) Saver and Special Charge Up.
Yeah it's smelly as fuck
I haven't looked into it much detail (not sure if it more information has come out either) but people on Reddit/GameFAQs studied it a while back:

Generally for most weapons it won't reduce the amount of shots needed to kill. But there are a couple of occasions where it might be useful.
This "study" is stupid and always was stupid. This person also did a useless "study" on special charge up as well. Disregard.
Attack up will never decrease the number of shots needed to kill another player. However, it does decrease the amount of charge with a charger to OHKO another player. It also negates the effect of defense up.
One main defense up increases the number of shots for some weapons to kill, and one main attack up negates that effect.
Attack up, then, is useful, as is defense up.
Bomb range up is very useful if you can take advantage of it -- one main increases your bomb range significantly (~16%). Special charge up, meanwhile, isn't very useful -- one main decreases the number of points you need to get a special by about 7%, which in the grand scheme of things is very few points.
Here are the numbers, don't use those studies: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bgcQxHCY-g3KXoGf2rnYExium9qeELagu3mF6AjoU4g/edit?usp=sharing
It doesn't increase the time the ink strike is in effect but it increases the time you get to choose where you want to attack.

I've been busy the last week and haven't had time to keep up with Splatoon. Is Kelp Dome the most recent map? Any new maps announced? Has NoA said anything regarding Splat Fest on Saturday?
Yeah that's why I didn't quote your other post, just wanted to respond to the study
Ofc
I went from B+ 80 to B 0 over the past few days. I feel you.
Not technically accurate. It increases the range at which one can OHKO with blaster i.e. two shots to kill becomes one.
Mentioned that, I specified that it doesn't decrease the number of shots, which is true for chargers -- a OHKO is a OHKO.
But it does decrease the number of shots to kill. At a given blaster range, 2-hit KOs become 1-hit KOs.
Oops sorry, I always read the words "charger" and "blaster" as the same (and I have no idea why I do this). Good to know, thanks for the correction.

At this point, I just want to unlock the sub abilities on my clothes. I'm gonna end up saving the Snails from SplatFest to reroll anything I might want to reroll and only use my money on adding extra slots.

So my friend showed me some samples of this game's OST, and I just have to say...
Someone should get on doing Splatoon X Jet Set Radio mashups. I already smell the potential.

I've been getting a lot of weird team compositions. Was the only Splattershot with 3 rollers recently, and then later was the only Splattershot with three chargers.
What do you guys think is your ideal team setup for Turf Wars or Ranked? Assuming a fairly neutral map like Blackbelly Skatepark.
I'm thinking something like,
1 Short-ranged gun (Splattershot Jr., Aerospray, Splash-O-Matic)
1 Roller (Krak-On or Dynamo)
1 Mid-ranged gun (Splattershot Pro, Squelchers, .96 Gal)
1 Charger weapon (Kelp Splatterscope, E-Liters)
You could probably get away with swapping a roller for another short-ranger, or possibly getting rid of the mid-ranged for something shorter-ranged (if you have a good sniper).
Maybe Splattershot Jr./Krak-On Roller/Dual Squelcher/Kelp Splatterscope? You'd get both the Bubbler and the Kraken, and then Echolocator for support, with some Sprinklers from the charger player. Maybe Dynamo Roller would be better for more range options and another Sprinkler/Echolocator.

Huh what are you talking about? The study is fine. You're saying what it is saying. It also says that the study doesn't apply to rollers and chargers.
Also 7% is nothing to sneeze about. That's usually how augmenting abilities work. You won't see one ability give you like 20% which is ridiculous.
