Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

lmao why is there a "we don't need regional matchmaking" defense force on reddit

I think Nintendo is prioritizing quick lobby times over everything.

I would like regional though. They had it in MK8. Sometimes I wish Nintendo would be more uniform in the features they have for their games. Some games have online some don't. Some have certain options others don't.
 
I hope you are not Team Cat because then you will playing the splatfest with an unleveled shirt and will be bringing your team down, man
Pff I can level that saturday morning, you guys are underestimating me xD

I can never find anyone on regional in MK8, maybe it's just me and my fake Canada WiiU though...
 
After being mostly a Dual Squelcher player, I have to say that the .96 Gal is so sick. It's downright silly on Blackbelly Skatepark when the other team doesn't have a sniper. You can just do tower tricks for days. Being able to jump off, spin around, pick off the person climbing up the tower, and being able to climb back up, is just amazing. Felt like an elevator during some of those matches.

It's a little tricky defending the pier on Saltspray. Unlike with the Squelcher, people just run right up to you, so you really gotta be quick and accurate. Pulled off some amazing 2v1 defenses, but had some hilarious failures as well (killed by an Aerospray? really?).

Had one round where the other team had an immediate disconnect, so I decided to just sit it out, score exactly 1 point, and let them have a 3v3. My team got completely decimated and I think they were mad at me, lol.

Funny, I'm a .96 gal user that just got into the dual squelcher. It's a little more accurate, and it it inks turf more evenly. I do miss the sprinkler, but my splat bomb game is improving.

Will probably switch back and forth between the 2 for a while.
 
the inzooka is near guaranteed kill, has a pretty good chance for a double and triple kill and it zones out opponents like a killing wail. Clears out sniper nests and with a bit of practice you can hit enemies below you as well (aim as far down as possible). No other special is as good at actually eliminating other players - the bubble comes pretty close, though

I really don't get why some people think it's bad

Ugh, I'll focus on my school projects! Gotta to try and understand how to effectively use that damn PIC microcontroller. I must say that going from a PLC to this is quite a let down, but I digress~
It would help if I could stay out of GAF too, but that's asking too much lol

Ugh I played against a team with 3 dual squelchers, damn pain in the ass for my inkbrush on Underpass.
Even if I love using the custom one s2
But I'll stick with the .96 at least until I get how to use the .52 effectively :P

Oh I thought it was like in the middle of the day, dammit.
Hummm I might be with a serious hangover the whole saturday anyway, so the tee will be the least of my problems... Sorry Callie and #TeamCat
 
When I lag hard enough the game slows down my game to a crawl so I probably *was* moving in slow motion.

I rarely have lag issues when my oldest bro's gone though. It's weird, dunnow hy.
Wait wait wait, I remember now.

Something on my brother's side of the room causes severe interference with my wii u sometimes. Like "The only controller that works properly is the GamePad"-quality interference. I have no fucking idea what it is, though.

What I like about the 3DS is that I can generally just bring it downstairs and avoid this nonsense altogether.
 
lol I just had a moment where I was desperately running away from a kraken, ran into an enemy along the way through their ink and splatted them like MOVE BITCH and kept running
 
Reading about that hidden matchmaking logic for turf wars kind of annoys me, since for whatever reason I've been getting paired the last 3-4 days with level 20 teammates who score in the 400-500 range for ink coverage and also manage to get splatted constantly.

I've won maybe 20% of my matches over the weekend, mostly getting demoralized because I feel like I'm usually the only one on my team who is even remotely competent (and I'm by no means a top tier player).

No idea. Just got in a room with about 4 Gaffers the rest Japanese players and the lag was horrible. I'd love to play worldwide matches if it was feasible, but it's not, so matchmatching should just be regional IMO.

Can't wait for matchmaking to hit August. Going to be a game changer in a positive way. Even without voice communication there are a few players in SplatGAF that know what needs to be done to work together to win turf war.

My job is to roll, try to help control specific parts of the map, back my teammates up by leading the charge with my roller and unleash the Kraken when necessary. And I do a good job at it.

Well, you could request a ban. But if you're just gonna lurk anyway it won't matter.

Are you playing Turf? If so losing really doesnt mean much, I almost always get to the 1000 range even with a loss.
Now ranked, the matchmaking may work that way, but who gets on your team is random anyway, so if you lose it's bad luck or you maybe you are not doing so Hawt :P

Nah it's nothing so serious, besides yea, I'd lurk anyway. Working with programming is a bitch because you naturally are near computers and all that haha
 
Wish I could play this game but my girlfriend is glued to it. She went from not liking to play any games online to complaining that the rest of her team is ass really quick.

I fear for the future.

My only beef with the Squelcher is that good players run away from it too easily, making splatting people a chore with it. Not necessarily a problem when you're trying to make them go away, but those good players often re-group and figure out a way around you. It's definitely fantastic for zone and painting stuff, however. It feels like a weapon that is great for protecting a lead, but if you get down big, it's hard to come back with. There are a lot of spawn camping scenarios where I just try to patiently spray zones, but the enemy team just continues to run away everytime I get a shot on them. Can't break the stalemate fast enough.

Both weapons feels like "poke then hunt them" weapons, but .96 Gal feels a little more forgiving with its 2-shot kills. If you're down big and you make a couple good reads with your chasing, you can turn a game around. There's a bigger risk-reward, there.

It's good to learn both weapons. Maybe my aiming and chasing will improve after playing the .96.

Show her the GAF room then, only if she is ready to real turf wars :)

The bold is very true in my experience.
 
c'mon, guys, we need to get coordinated, lest we fight each other needlessly

personally, I've always liked cats, but I own a dog, so... I'm torn and I need you guys to decide for me.
We were supposed to collude to team cat, but that seems to have gotten forgotten, so I went for team Marie instead.
 
I think I spent way too much time chasing walkman... good thing his team didnt help him lol.

LOL, I don't think she's ready for GAF yet.

How do we get in though?
Add active posters and eventually they'll join a room full of gaf members. Once you've played with them, add them by going to your friends list and recently played with tab. You can add me: roger1991

GG guys, it's a shame we got disconnected.
 
Heng, Guy, WALKMAN, time, and anyone who I missed (Kas?) GG's! It's time to play some Diablo 3 with the wife but I had a lot of fun. I'll be back on latertonight, maybe I'll catch some of you then.
 
If GAF is supposed to be demonstrating loyalty towards each other in the Splatfest, then we'd best rally behind the symbol of loyalty and companionship, Team Dog.

If we'd rather continue backstabbing each other, then by all means, go hang out with the rest of team Cat. Who will leave you alone and unloved as soon as something better comes along, or at their earliest convenience.

GG.

Was I the only one that got a comm error right there? Kicked me out of the room then went to go look for friends in a lobby and couldn't find anyone even though I was just in a match with them.

I was thinking the same time, I was wasting too much time stalling with you, I figured it was ok because they would have a 3 on 3 without worrying about getting sniped by you but boy was I wrong.

Everyone disconnected I guess

Edit: there was a point where everybody jumped on me and I was like really we are all going to be in the same spot then they rest of the match nobody jumped to me and I just put my head down at that point.

Pff I had proof that just because I chose TeamCat, Judd always chose my side on stalemates. You cant win just with pretty words bruh
 
Haha I just had a moment with a random who went kraken really close to me but I just kept jumping to the right and left while shooting them and they kept missing me with their attack. They did eventually splat me right near the end of the kraken's duration but I imagine it must have been really frustrating for them

Nice, thanks! Will add you as soon as I can take control. It'll be from nikostoscani.

Oh yeah it is, I played a lot with the Krak-on and people with Ninja Squid are a bitch to kill. Maybe not so much after the nerf though.

You can add me too, but I wont play much this week because of college ^^
NNID is MiguelBudag.
Dont forget to take a look at the Google docs at the first page with all SquidGAF members if you want to just add a bunch on members.
 
You can still turn in to a squid when you're using it.

Yeah but then you're wasting it.

I don't really understand what changed since I thought blasters were crap to now really enjoying them. I think maybe I'm playing more conservatively, rather than treating every weapon like a splattershot Jr. lol.
