For sure.
He literally came out of nowhere lol. He's been fine besides that incident though.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but based on the comments here since launch, I strongly suspect the lag you saw was due to the GAF players, or yourself, and not Japan.
I play hours a day with 5-7 Japanese players in my game and have seen a truly laggy player maybe four times, ever. I have had exactly two disconnect, ever. I've played online for almost 80 hours now via wifi in Toronto.
You know what I just realized why I'm having such a good winning streak, it's because no one I'm playing against has been using chargers

This.
When my internet is actually co-operating and not being a bitch I rarely have issues with Japanese players. When my internet is being a bitch then, well, I quite obviously have issues with everybody and not just one nation in particular.
Never! No one expects a sniper to rush them!
The lag is almost certainly masked by a prediction algorithm based on the player's previous trajectory, like in mario kart 8. You aren't going to see lag manifest itself as players teleporting all over the place, because that simply can't happen.
However, that doesn't mean the lag isn't there. It has to be; data takes time to travel, and you're thousands of miles from Japan. Add in your TV's input lag, wireless controller lag, and the fact that one or both of you is on WiFi, and you're dealing with at least 200-300 ping. That's enough time for many weapons to splat a player at mid-range. Assuming Splatoon uses client-side hit detection, you're looking at a lot of double splats that should never have happened.
Even if Nintendo does a pretty good job of masking lag, it's still there.
Ehhh it's mostly a mix of the two. The only INKredibly laggy rollers I've fought against were all Japanese.
But I mostly dont have problems with them outside of a few situations that quickly get solved (mostly through a DC).
Tell that to a cute Aerospray inkling I fought last week. Maybe it was a mix of jumping all over the place and lag, but it was terrifying lol

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
Yeah, turf war. And despite losing all the time, I can consistently beat the ink coverage scores of the opposing team and usually range between 5-10 splats handed out, so it's not that I'm unhappy with my own performance -- but losing so many games is still a bummer, regardless.
I can't do anything with both of you guys constantly looking at me.
Are you level 20? Which weapon are you using?
But yeah losing streaks happen, I mostly take a breath and change weapons. It almost always helps ^^
Now you know how it is when you were focusing on killing me. People are so mean to inkbrush usersI can't do anything with both of you guys constantly looking at me.

Hopping online now.
I've seen what you do when people ignore you... you and all the inkbrush.Zero²;170376404 said:Now you know how it is when you were focusing on killing me. People are so mean to inkbrush users
Your laser itself made me not want to show myself. It was either you or Grakl.
I only noticed at the last minute, it was awfully quiet the whole time
Anyone have any recommended YouTube channels with regular Splatoon coverage? I've been looking at a few of them, but regularly find myself getting grouchy watching them. I like the way this guy plays but have trouble finding other people that don't make me want to backseat drive the whole time while watching.
It's too easy to put yourself in the shoes of the player when spectating matches. Maybe I need to be less critical and chill out a little.

Ugh cant wait to get another inkbrush loadout, sprinklers are nice, but only really matter for setting decoys and covering ground.
I'll try improving my Dynamo skills someday, it rivals the inkbrush in satisfaction when you get that surprise double kill.

Room full?
You're right, it could be. Regardless usually with online multiplayer games, even if I'm on a good connection, I tend not to play with players in Japan or Australia. I'd love to but the chance of lag is obviously higher.
