Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Kraken nerf, as in the special? That's a shame, it used to seem OP at the start but once you realize how to handle it I think the Kraken isn't that bad. Plus it fits so well with my Custom Jet Squelcher - keep my opponents at a distance with the normal weapon but if you get in my face I unleash the Kraken. So satisfying, though a good opponent will often just swim away.

Ninja squid nerf will be interesting. If they slow it down too much I'll have to drop it. 2 x Swim Speed Up secondaries makes up for the speed nerf, and in fact 3 passes it. Maybe they will make it so you need all 3 to make up for it. My suggestion though would be to keep the same speed and simply make your cloak intermittent, say 1 second invisible then 1 second cloaked or whatever ratio works best.

Unless something has changed it sounded like the nerf to kraken is going to make it easier for people to knock it back with their gun (like the bubble).
 
When I get SSS, I'm just gonna use them to add slots to gear so I won't waste them lol.

Ever since I dumped ~240K into a few rerolls of my Shrimp Pink Polo, I decided to say fuck it and focus on getting all the slots I could for all my gear. It's a long process especially when you start thinking about how you want to prioritize certain gear, but it totally beats getting fuck all for such a big monetary commitment.
 
The D-Pad messages should have been customizable, choose from presets or something.

"C'mon!" is useful.

"Watch out!","Push!","Defend our base!", "Jump to me!", "Fall Back!/Run Away!" would be good too.
 
I forgot to take pictures of the booths they'd put on display but the Splatoon Tour that Nintendo Sweden are doing swung on over to my town and I went to check it out. It was pretty neat, granted I didn't really do anything that interesting there since I've already played the game for over a month - did Battle Dojo with my friend and was shooting the shit with the reps. People who were around seemed to really get into it, including some kids.

lol comm error in the last second

gotta leave now for dinner, hope I can play a few more games with you guys later
e: double post, my bad
 
Went 21-7 in a Ranked mode while no one else on my team have more than 5 yesterday... and still lose. I wished I was quicker with my camera to keep the salty memory for eternity.

I wish there are some ways to take an ingame screenshot of this when playing online.

The way I see it, if you focus on one piece of gear, you'll get it eventually. Like I was focused on getting a Gas Mask with 3 Special Duration Up subs, and as I was writing this post...

Based Spyke.

Gonna work on that Dark Urban Vest now, maybe.

-------------------
Also, some important stuff regarding ordering gear from Spyke. You CAN potentially get 1-star/2-star gear with additional subs intact (thanks to LinkJr and Draayder on Squidboards): http://squidboards.com/threads/spyke-can-clone-items.2451/
It's expensive, but man is that nice to have confirmed. And the chance is small, but it is better than nothing.
 
So my son tends to...dominate... turf wars (usually going 10 or so kills to 1 death, and amassing anywhere from 1100-1400 points -on a LOSS.

someone friend dillybo and kick his butt :)

Oh what the hell man. :lol

Good to get it confirmed that I can try my luck for perfect gear that isn't three stars from the jump. Now if only this game would let me run into some of the JPN players I've played with recently for their gear.

Are you suuure they were kids? Might have been squids...
 
Anyone who wears the gas mask has no self respect.

Or fashion sense for that matter.

Upgrade the black arrowbands instead. They look much better.
 
Wish I'do tried ranked earlier. I dint really care about my actual rank, but I'm earning double the points which helps me level up
 
That feeling when you drop 120k re-rolling abilities on headgear which only had 1 good ability and still come off worse. 3x Special Saver -_-
Special Saver is good breh

Dying is an eventuality. You save more meter than you'd gain with special charge up.

EDIT: Unless you're playing a very defensive set.

Inkbrush and Carbon Roller, I'm only engaging the enemy when I know I can win anyway, otherwise it's all support. All I was looking for was some more Ink Saver Main/Sub or Ink Recovery Up.
