If the entire other team have bubbles, and have saved them up to trigger at the same time, and are coordinating all this without voice or other chat, then they damn well deserve to push you.

I do feel like the shield and Kraken are the dumb powerups of the game as it basically allows you to get into stupid situations and then just hit a win button. Definitely the cheapest mechanic in the game, especially the shield as you keep the range of your weapon.

Sometimes they trigger automatically, not sure what that its. I've seen entire teams multiple times instantly all get bubbles for a short amount of time. Its happened to me and I didnt have a bubble power up.
If you use a bubble everyone on your team near you gets one too.
You know you can share your bubble's remaining duration with your teammates by touching them?

Going to try resetting the whole network.

I often mind myself apologizing to the charger behind me when I play maps like Port Mackerel. I'm sorry but my instincts just want me to run ahead and splat that squid.
The worst is when you're a charger and you're well alive, everyone super jumps to you then stands in front of you to block you from doing a good job of splatting squids and staying alive.
That's what you get for cheating and playing in a ranked lobby 3 ranks below yours.
That's the trick of going up in Rank,
I was A- 30 when I started playing. I always wait for the very last second before accepting the next game - thus it likely doesn't take my rank into an account. This is a good way to keep your winning streaks going, since you ensure nobody that is your new rank will join the lobby.
Right now after a disconnect I'm A 70, was a win away from A+ but as usual that first chance slipped through my fingers.

Why is the lag so terrible in this room? I'm being Killed by people 4 seconds after they die.
Edit: And I keep getting dropped. I must be having some major network problems. good games for now everyone!

Yeah, the system can be exploited, but losing when you have a lot of K/D is much more likely to happen when you play with and against people below your level.

It's definitely lag. I've actually missed shots by a hair more times than I care to admit, especially when I'm not playing well. If anything, chargers need a tiny amount of splash damage (20 points worth of damage maybe?) for those moments. Don't get me started on Violet's Remote Bomb sniping. =P I'm not even mad at that anymore. It's a fun jump scare at this point.
Edit: just for reference on the whiffed shots, the enemy gets stuck in the ink blotch at the end that was supposed to splat them.
Sent a request to Walkman04 so I can get some gaf Splatoon action (I waited until I was level 20 so I wasn't a total failure against the gods of gaf 
).
Lot a connection errors this evening, so I don't know if I'll come back later. I usually play at night on weekdays and on weekends too (Spanish time). Hoping to see you soon in Splatoon!
One question: is there a difference between 2 stars accessories (with 3 upgrades) and 3 stars accessories? Thanks!
PS: my Nind is jcastello, feel free to add me! (Just tell me you're from Neogaf in the invite please).

That 2 vs 4 was brutal
Ggs vert and azusa.
Has anyone else noticed what a cluster it is to try and shoot downwards when there's a tiny ledge in front of you? It's like if your paint hits a ledge then it blocks all the paint hitting its target and not just the one that hits the ledge. I noticed it ages ago but tonight there was one case that was fucked up.

Yeah squids have weak knees, they can't bend over to shoot foes directly underneath.

Hey, what level are most of you guys on? I'm finding it really difficult to get past C...
I'm still trying to embed it in my head (especially as an Inkbrush main) but basically, you can't back up while shooting them (it puts them in a good range to OHKO you with that Xbox huge flick). Walk or squid forward a bit if they're coming for a head on collision. Otherwise, just abuse movement to get the best spot to pick them off.
This.
The Splattershot Pro is a monster in general. If it wasn't for how fast it eats up ink, it would be OP.
Played some this morning after a week or so break, I got wrecked.
This person just destroyed me, one shot me every time with the flick move from amazing distance.
And I though I was safe from rollers at heights, bravo amazing player.
One thing has annoyed me from my week long break (aside from amazing players kicking my butt), I return to a two new stages yet haven't had the opportunity to play either, stupid map rotation.

The Japanese dyanmo roller player up at 5:30 in the morning playing Splatoon was just too good for any of that, especially up on the tower in blackbelly stakepark. One game where he was on my team he had a K/D of 17-3.
The last game I played with him we had a team of me, him, another level 20 and a level 11 player against levels 19, 9, 7, and 6, and the level 19 player disconnected halfway through. It was such an unbalanced match and I seriously felt bad for the other team

Oh god I faced that person as well. Amazing roller, would always get stomped if I was on the opposite team.
Alright, I gotta head out. GGs all. Burnburn why don't you want to be on my team? 
Tell me about it. I'm a magnet for those damn bombs.

Been trying Cold Blooded a bit but not really getting the hang of the timing, and I'm not used to looking at the map either to check a safe distance. Well, I suppose that's practice though.
Not really wanting to drop my Splash-o-Matic, Splatterscope, Krak-on trio, though. Just fun. (I need to play more Splatoon)
