I'm just not having a good day of this at all. I'm bad at this game and GAF is just making me feel worse about it.

Sorry, brother. I saw you were on the brush, so I switched to nozzle nose. You should really look in to investing in run speed and ink resistance so enemy ink doesn't slow you down. Remember, you're supposed to lead the enemy on a wild goose chase using the superior quick coverage the brush has, only a engage when necessary. Just like fighting again lag rollers, the solution is to runaway and make ground to reestablish.

Nozzle nose is the same which is why I use it for small alley maps.

Word.it's the worst being shot from the direction your teammate just went.
 
Damn, I screwed up. Wanted to take a screenshot of this Japanese player's gear. Each main and sub ability was either Ink Saver Main, Swim Speed or Run Speed. That's dedication.
 
Tried out ranked for the first time, finally. Been avoiding it since launch because...reasons. I guess I wanted time to figure out what my main weapons should really be. But I figured that I'd be able to handle the low ranks easily enough, and I turned out to be right. Still, it's pretty intense and the firefights definitely feel faster-paced compared to turf war.

I'm glad that my Port strategy of "rush ahead to the opponent-side zone and harass them until my teammates cap our zone and move up" paid off decently well. Saltspray's a little trickier, I'm not sure I like how much it seems to encourage camping up on the encircling wall area. As long as you check your six every once in a while, keeping the zone under your control once you have it doesn't seem very difficult.
 
The main thing about the brush/nozzle, is playing them makes you feel like LeBron. Do your job right, and your team will probably win. If you fail though, you feel like you may as well had disconnected. But it really feels like it when you do everything right, and still lose, then you notice you did at least double on the next highest team score.

There are other tactics that work well for saltspray. Eg if you have beacons placing them behind the main platform gives easy.access to the splat.zone and tactical advantage. Circling the opposing wall area is good though especially when they havent noticed you coming and you pick up a couple of easy kills.

I think I'm there already (I don't like being visible so I opt out of using brush mode often), I'm just having a really horrible time.

Appreciate the sentiment though.
 
You know what I realize is the ONLY shitty thing about Splatoon? They lock the sound test behind an amiibo.

This shouldn't be a thing. Everyone should be able to listen to the boss theme while waiting for a spot to open in Turf Wars.
 
Gonna take a break

Good games guys, I'm done for now gotta eat dinner, and azure I felt you were doing well with the .52 gal, you were winning like half of our firefights when with the paintbrush it's like 25% of the time you splat me

Do you have to use the game Pad? Or can you use the pro controller? Any tips for a newbie?
Click to expand...

The only time you can use anything other than the GamePad is for the second player in Battle Dojo.

As for tips, hmm.
- Walls don't count for score, but can be useful for climbing or (occasionally) ambushes
- Superjump responsibly, especially if you don't have stealth jump or some jump-speed upgrades.
- Krak-on Rollers are the fucking worst

That's about all I got for now.

I don't like the gals. They aren't fast enough for me. At the same time most of SplatGAF is basically telling me git gud and I'm ass at the brush so I dont even know anymore
