You were lagging pretty bad for me that last match, and I don't think it was me because I killed you then sendou tried to kill me like 5 seconds later and then I just splatted out of nowhere by you while you were dead. You were fine all day before that though.
Yeah, my router is acting up, might do a restart.
(Bought wired accessories from Amazon, can't wait to replace wireless for good... never reliable ._.)

Plus playing like that on maps like Pork Mackerel with it's damn corridors would be suicide in my opinion... And they could easily just run and hide from you in squid form and then kill you if you are without an echo.
But I'll try it later, shame I'll only be able to play on the weekend
Which is why I only "seriously" use the brush on the wider maps: dome, rig, and skatepark. I main nozzlenose, but as the same role for mall, depot and port. I'm actually using brush on the current maps right now to see if I can change my view on this.
Oh ok, nozzlenose is my nemesis when I'm playing inkbrush, dammit they get me everytime.
Wouldn't the disruptor be the brush's worst enemy?
Are you lvl 20? I believe that option only opens up once you hit 20.
He doesn't do it until you're level 20.
Once you reach level 20 he will allow you to reroll gear
Edit: Beaten twice

I guess I should be paying more attention, but I want to confirm: does the brush swing actually deflect bullets and bombs?
I'm trying to condition myself to attack from the side or behind anyway, but when I engage brush users head on, they apparently don't die even when I've put like 6 shots in them, and I'm pretty sure the Jet Squelcher kills in 3 or 4 hits. And if I do end up engaging a brush head on, should I switch over to Burst Bombs or should I just run away?

You have to reach level 20 to reroll/ unlock additional slots.
I guess that too.
I've heard so far it deflects bullets and inkzooka. Charger shots will break through. Not sure about bombs.
At 15 min waiting right now, one more and I break your record
Edit: I couldn't do it
Doh. I think the last time I spoke to him I was 18 or 19, will try again now that I'm capped at 20.
Thanks.

Just had the funniest match on Blackbelly ranked, I was on the middle tower, killed a guy and 2 teammates tried super jumping to him. I laid a mine, hid in the ink and popped out to point blank OHKO them. The first guy then super jumped to their corpses, they super jumped to his corpse, rinse and repeat. I just kept laying a mine and point blank blasting them every time they landed.
25-3 K/D, 2100 points and a full 0-100 point victory on Blackbelly that match with the Luna Blaster, my god I love it.

Propaganda by the shooter crowd so you can look like a fool while swiping your brush like an idiot in the air. Wish it did though.

Really hope that Skatepark is part of the next group. I haven't played on it in what feels like ages

Third day in a row that the Splatoon gods decide I should always be on the losing team. Why?
I assume it is if nothing's shown up in-game about it. For NA they announced Splatfest and started team voting a week before the scheduled date

I only played enough og this to hit level 4 and do one level before I got stuck into the Witcher 3 so I really only just started playing this yesterday. As always I go in for single player before multi as always and I just finished single player.
For some reason I found it way easier to pick up and play. Something just clicked about the analogue stick gyro mix and I was flying through the si gle player. Even though this is a multiplayer centric title, I loved the single player and that boss fight. I had heard it was good but that must be the best boss fight of any game I have played in my 30 odd years of playing games. It was long, hectic and the mechanics of it felt perfect. Absolutely loved it.
Going to start getting into some multi now while PC version of Batman AK continues to shit itself up. Its nice to have a system like the Wii U that just isn't frustrating and has immediately fun games to play.
Splatoon has to become one of Nintendo's mainstays, the best new IP along with Wonderful 101 this gen.

I'm the same, but that question was more of a thinly veiled "who do you give props for always figuring you out after the fact".
Don't know if this will help you specifically since this is an Inkbrush video but I pretty much learned how to OD on Kelp Dome via this video. Good sub weapons that ink consistently in one area/direction while you focus on another are amazing on this stage.
I dunno man, I legitimately think that the Inkbrush has very high combat capabilities even taking into account the "melee vs projectile" discrepancy. The name of the game with the weapon is awareness. You won';t outright win fights but you can control so much area so quickly that it's ok to "live for another day" and get a second wind elsewhere. You can just as easily re-engage at your own terms so things are never just a binary "you lose" against other players unless you
I never actually felt the difference until recently when I opted to try out my Red Hi Horses again. It can get so rough getting stuck in enemy ink, but I like my current looks so much.
I still believe in it and I want to finish grinding slots for all my gear so I can work on re-rolling my pink polo for this guy's setup, but Echolocator has forced me into trying out all kinds of configurations (while also bringing out my inner stylist again) to either counter it or just focus on other strengths I can bring to the team.
Which reminds me that I need to do something here too. I'm thinking of Squidding up the old Player's Choice, Million Seller graphic.
I hate this so much. :lol
This is why I hardly ever jump and brush. I want to be on the floor near my ink so I'm skimming over it and have access to a way out immediately in the event that I'm being chased head on. A combination of Ink Saver Main and Ink Recovery Up goes such a long way. I can also vouch for Ink Saver Sub (as a primary or 2+ secondaries) as it will really help you to generate more
They're super annoying, I really don't care for them at all.
Only time you can use the Wii U Pro Controller is during the local 1 v 1 mode. Otherwise you need to use the gamepad.
It's not supported except for 1V1 local multiplayer, so no.
The coop makes me hate playing the game. Its really bad.
Someone was able to modify the ink color values in the game to where you can have any ink color in existence. White vs. Black is one of the unique combinations demonstrated.
lol I'm pretty sure I backed you into one and killed you yesterday. If not you it was someone from gaf
Yeah, same here. I get what they were trying to do, get you cornered and make you react on the fly, but it just fails at it. If you go backwards and you accidentally hit a bulldozer the game is like "dude, have you seen the beautifull sky?". It also sucks when you go out your way to flank someone and a bulldozer just decides to fuck you over.
OK Splat-GAF, I hope one of you can come through for me on this one. Does anyone here have the Red Vector Tee from Takoroka? I absolutely need that after seeing someone with it fighting my brother. That thing is godlike, Ink Saver main AND the high chances of Special Charge Up subs? Yeah, need to cop dat right now. :lol
I will never forget the time one of them pushed me into one of DaBoss' lane clearing Killer Wails...

Wow, too bad, I was almost getting one for this game in particular.
I have one.
