Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

So has anybody been playing Battle Dojo? I haven't since I don't have any real life Squid Kids but it looks pretty fun on video. I originally thought it would just be a shooting gallery type thing, but it's more like a 1 on 1 duel.
 
I'm bothered by how rarely my teammates go after enemy beakons in the vicinity. I've literally seen my team walk past them like they're no big deal. Those things are absolutely game-changing and make it feel like you're dealing with a constant wave of opponents spawning right next to you. In one game yesterday, we drove the enemy back and held the second zone in Port Mackerel only after I went up the ramp to the enemy spawn, went through the long narrow high ground and got rid of the beakons at the end of that path. If I had Inkstrike, I would've dropped it on that spot earlier. Beakons in Saltspray are game winners.

Yesterday watched on my map as one of the enemies just walked past my beakon like it was nothing
 
No way, cat are the best.



... Can I choose both ?
Um, sure.

Yeah, I hate this. I had a match where my team mates retook the top of saltspray while I was respawinging, but they left the enemy beakons there, so then they just got wiped out again.
 
Spent the last couple of days going back and forth between 30 and 50 points in B in ranked. Rank B truly is hell

Also the custom dual squelcher seems really unfitting for splat zones in the skatepark. Too much close range combat and beakons seem to be useless
 
Yeah, it makes for a really interesting splatzone map but I don't find it very fun for turfwars. The only entertaining thing about it really is sprinkler trolling on the overhang. If you throw it right the only thing that can take it out is an inkstrike >:3
That's... pretty damn good. My white anchor tee had 3 strength up sub-abilities but I was convinced that it made sense to re-roll it. I kind of regret that now ;_;
My splatfest shirt ended up being three strengths for sub abilities. Since it's a temp shirt there's really no point in spending money re-rolling.

Besides, since I'm off on holiday on the Sunday I'll only have a few hours to play (since even if I don't sleep before my flight there's not going to be much european activity at 2am BST).

Haven't, but my daughter keeps asking me to. But we're also both playing multiplayer a lot. She’s only just turned 11 and I never thought she'd be into an FPS but she is loving it.

I didn't even know what they were until I saw someone spawn on it. I was wondering how the other team were getting behind us and not coming from their spawn area.

On port mackerel I try and go up via enemy spawn to that area where they overlook the right hand zone, because otherwise they just rain fire down on you. Take that area and keep dropping mines on the approach to keep them out.
 
I was getting ranged with rollers last night. I had the goddamn e liter 3k.
They need the melee dropped to like 6ft range, and have it use almost all of the ink.
 
Fuck Gold dynamo rollers in ranked. That weapon needs a nerf so damn bad.

I still agree with this. I'm not keeping a tally but I'm sure I have lost most games where the enemy team has a competent Dynamo + Krak-on and we have neither. They're the only weapons in the game where I feel you gotta brace yourself for some crazy shit at the hands of mediocre players.
 
I've been waiting since the announcement of the EU splatfast to make this a thing.

Man no one tries to flank the other team either, usually people on my team are just trying to hit the other team from the same angle over and over and over

Saltspray, the warehouse, and the Port are so much fun to attack the team from a different angle on

I've kept half the enemy team distracted in the corridor in the warehouse and my team just runs head on at the other two guys and dies repeatedly lol
 
See, I'm asking for 3-star ones cause people can't order anything else for their own use.

I got this today, but people can't order it and get the exact same thing.

Ah.

I have a Dark Urban Vest or whatever with Cold-Blooded and 3 Ink Saver (Sub). Can people get that because it's 3 stars?
 
So has the Japanese splatfest been mentioned yet?

Similar time to what everyone else (
no fair Jopan gots two
) has but notice the cup ramen (or whatever) brands. Splatoon, the most product placement in a Ninty game since Pikmin 2. Well Splatoon did warn us upon first time boot up...

Also I hope this means a future European one could get dominated by the most British of debates; Heinz or Branston.

Starwolf is obviously not an Animal Crossing player.

It's the same brand - udon Vs Soba.
 
Revisited the game to check out the latest weapons, Carbon Roller is like the bridge between your standard roller and inkbrush, I got along pretty well with it as primarily a brush user compared to the other rollers.
 
Ah.

This is actually what I was going for lol. Can you please wear that so I can order it. I tried to order one before and I got no subs at all from it lol.

EDIT: Actually, I think I have 3 orders right now, so nvm.

Not sure how i feel about this..
 
I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE I QUIT

I'll start wearing it next time I play, sure.

I never get the subs when I order from Spyke. Just the main ability and empty slots. Is it just random?

Hot damn, can I get in on this too? I'm probably going to be on much later tonight though, brother's got the system and CEO stream is still chugging on.

They need the melee dropped to like 6ft range, and have it use almost all of the ink.

I don't use rollers so I thought the melee was an optional charge-up attack that used up a ton of ink. Imagine my surprise in testing when I find out that enormous, ranged, OHKO, quick attack is basically free. I main the Luna Blaster now and feel their attack is like mine + better range + greater damage area + higher chance to KO in most cases.

I lost in a confrontation with a Dynamo when I was the one who got the drop on him. I hit once slightly out of ideal range to kill, he responded so clumsy and slow... still got his insta-kill attack before my second shot. Dynamos are really not that slow. In another game I caught a guy once, unpredictably maneuvered with ninja stealth and keeping some distance, going for the second hit to kill since he's clueless where I am. Oh but no matter, he attacks blindly and I die anyway since his attack hits everywhere.

Whoever said B is hell is right. I went from a few points shy of A to C+ through personally bad rounds of frustration and the most awful teamups ever. It got very close to C at one point. I'm a few rounds from A again and in a way it's so much easier and less stressful when your only option isn't completely carry your entire team or lose.
 
Just when I was going to sleep too :P Just love Warehouse too much.

Warehouse gets crazy hype in the best ways. It also helps that since there's a lot of back and forth in a big open space, there's a lot of opportunity to make money when you don't want to visit the dark world of ranked battles.

Yeah, I'm with you. I've been stuck in the Bs for a week or two now. Every now and then, I perform badly, but most of the time I go down due to terrible teammates.

I can't carry teams in this game. If this was a deathmatch sort of mode, I'd carry left and right and wouldn't complain as much. Objective-based stuff like Splat Zones are fun, but again I can't carry. I don't even know how folks carry tbqh. Like if this was Halo CTF where you can grab a flag and hop in a car, that's fine, but Splat Zone?
