I can actually keep krakens away if they jump too much though.

Yea, I think it only works if they are trying to attack you, but aren't right next to you.

Doc_Alba did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIh1rYGldbM

Note: That is before the patch lol.

 

[Doorman]

I still suck I need a new gun

I like rapid fire and long range what would you guys recommend?

my first game capture upload https://youtu.be/GuQ__yq_mCk

too bad my WiFi is too slow to live stream GAF matches

One of the Dual Squelchers, perhaps? Others have more impact for similar range (.96 particularly), and the Jet Squelchers fire longer, but it offers a pretty balanced middle ground between the two. I'm not particularly good with them myself but I've seen others who are very effective.

 

[CoconutTank]

Crap I've spent all of my sea snails...

 

[Totakeke]

Also like a lot of other short range weapons 3x defense will increase the hits to KO of sploosh-o-matic by one.

 

[RedFyn]

Can't expect to win with that poor of aim

 

[Timeaisis]

I think rollers in general need a nerf on either their range OR their spread on the flick. Not massive but a slight one.

I think the dynamo roller needs a range nerf, for sure. It shouldn't beat out guns at range.

 

[Smashkirby]

Aw yeah. 3v4 victory while being on the lower side

 

[-Horizon-]

Never had I felt more frustrated with this game than I did today lol
Actually dropped my controller during a match

 

[Geg]

lol me and red spending the first 30 seconds of that match circling around trying to kill each other

Aw yeah. 3v4 victory while being on the lower side

Was that 3 v 4? I honestly didn't notice

 

[Timeaisis]

Any GAF rooms up now?

 

[PadWarrior]

Does damage up help the splash o matic?

 

[mrpallyguy]

Hmm has anyone have trouble seeing if friends are online on the splatoon friend list?

 

[atr0cious]

Alright, I'm out for now, bedtime (if I'm able to sleep after that, geez). I'll start adding more GAF-folks tomorrow probably, I really gotta step my game up. The Nozzlenose isn't my "main" exactly, but it's one I've wanted to improve with.

So many builds having access to squid beakons is starting to get pretty irritating!



Oh yeah, I've gone through everything, I have enough experience at the game itself. My issue is kinda twofold I guess:
1. My execution (aim) seems to get wildly inconsistent, even within any given match. With things like the L-3 and Splattershot it's felt like sometimes I zone-in and get really on point, whereas other times I'll completely flounder in almost any encounter because of easily-missed shots. There's no real warning when that comes and goes.
2. I play the game with the mental capacity of a shrew, sometimes. Situations where the moment I'm dead I already know exactly what I should have done differently. Applying those lessons hasn't exactly taken yet, I guess.

Pretty much me. I main the brush, but feel the nozzle is a little harder to master, so I've been using it till they drop a brush with splat bombs. As far as not winning every heads up, the brush and the nozzle require almost constant effort, especially if you want to be good. What this means is you're going to take moments and even rounds "off." The best players recognize this and take their worst moments as lessons to improve on when they're ready to go full on again. If you're worried about points just remember to look at the counter when you shoot to see if you're doing your job.

 

[Totakeke]

Does damage up help the splash o matic?

Nope. It's damage is 36ish, it'll definitely be capped before 50 and a lot of gear to just get there too.

 

[PadWarrior]

Thanks liking this gun just wish it had some more power.

 

[J@hranimo]

Yeah so I meant to change out of my squid armor earlier but kept forgetting, I switch gear and weapons more than anybody lol.

 

[Timeaisis]

Oh how's the sploosh o matic?

 

[Totakeke]

Thanks liking this gun just wish it had some more power.

It's effective at very close range for sure. Head-on fights will not be ideal in most cases.

Oh how's the sploosh o matic?

The beacons make it interesting, otherwise not too good on its own.

 

[Violet_0]

Oh how's the sploosh o matic?

quite similar to a Splattershot Jr. but with less spread. Sort of pointless, imo

 

[Heng]

quite similar to a Splattershot Jr. but with less spread. Sort of pointless, imo

How many shots does the splattershot take to kill? Sploosh takes 3 hits to kill, are they similar in that way?

 

[Azure J]

I need Heng to explain to me how he splatted me from behind two different walls almost a full length of the stage away on Mall just now.

On the positive side, I look goddamn awesome in this gear and it has good functionality.

 

[Zing]

E-liter + latency = god.

 

[RedFyn]

One of those Japanese rollers was lagging hard. Couldn't do much

 

[Jintor]

I can actually keep krakens away if they jump too much though.

no forward accel when airborn (at least compared to being on the ground) so more aerial knockback

 

[Afrocious]

I need to actually get my app live for you folks. Huh.

 

[Heng]

I need Heng to explain to me how he splatted me from behind two different walls almost a full length of the stage away on Mall just now.

There's a sweet spot on the other side of the mall that allows you to hit the other side. Violet taught me this.

 

[Violet_0]

How many shots does the splattershot take to kill? Sploosh takes 3 hits to kill, are they similar in that way?

I think it's 5? I never really used this weapon

I played a match with a bunch of Japanese and the latency was pretty okay. Dunno why I was lagging so badly earlier

 

[Zero²]

Charger duels are so fun, what are your fav charger everyone?
I personally love my splatterscope.

 

[RedFyn]

The only good charger is a dead charger

Spoiler

unless they're on my team

 

[Azure J]

I hate this stage as a charger.

 

[Azure J]

There's a sweet spot on the other side of the mall that allows you to hit the other side. Violet taught me this.

On the flower pot in the hallway?

AND FUCK OFF JAH

 

[ryechu]

Oh well, an ten game win streak with the splooshie has been broken. It's hard to ambush people when you don't have territory.

Basically it's high run speed + good inking speed + good close range combat + beacons = guerilla warfare + base infiltration.

I'm trying to make a swim speed + run speed set for it. IT doesnt really need ink subabilites nor dmg.

 

[J@hranimo]

Seeker bombs can be so cheesy sometimes.

Alright I'm out, work in the am. Peace.

 

[RedFyn]

Squid beacons. The poor man's splash wall

 

[Timeaisis]

What the fuck chargers. Seriously.

 

[Heng]

On the flower pot in the hallway?

AND FUCK OFF JAH

Hmm I don't remember then. I thought you meant the kill at the start.

Charger duels are so fun, what are your fav charger everyone?

Splatterscope. E-liter is rusty.

 

[CoconutTank]

Wow GAF rooms are starting to be difficult to get into.

Edit: just got in lol

 

[Xeteh]

Wow GAF rooms are starting to be difficult to get into.

They always tend to do be if there's a bunch of people on. I've waited for ~20m on the "join next available battle" screen before.

Edit: Awesome, Bluefin. I swear this map just waits for me to log on to pop up.

 

[Azure J]

Whoever splatted Hoshina after I got killed by her, you the real MVP

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Wow, that 1.1% difference

 

[Omega Kirby]

So after using the male inkling since getting the game. I've finally deciding to go female inkling. Their design seems so much better.

That is until they release a hair salon place

 

[Totakeke]

I'm trying to make a swim speed + run speed set for it. IT doesnt really need ink subabilites nor dmg.

If you play the way I did you won't need swim speed. Most of the times I just jump to beacons and start inking. Not much swimming involved unless you believe swim speed giving you an advantage in close range combat.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

One of the Dual Squelchers, perhaps? Others have more impact for similar range (.96 particularly), and the Jet Squelchers fire longer, but it offers a pretty balanced middle ground between the two. I'm not particularly good with them myself but I've seen others who are very effective.

I'll try them all I am not sure why I always go back to this gold gun

 

[Heng]

Whoever splatted Hoshina after I got killed by her, you the real MVP

I tried to save you but I choked 3 shots before getting her.

Lmao did you fall off Azure?

 

[Triforce141]

IMO, inkstrikes should have some nerf post battle like they can only do actual painting if they are already in midair.

 

[Triforce141]

Okay, why is Mii just staying in spawn?

 

[Azure J]

I tried to save you but I choked 3 shots before getting her.

Lmao did you fall off Azure?

LOL yeah, I thought I was going to be able to squid on the first possible moment touching the ground but nope.

Edit: WTF @ Mii's score

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Okay, how did Mii get only 1 point that match?

He kept SD all match lol

 

[Heng]

Okay, how did Mii get only 1 point that match?

He's sitting in spawn point doing nothing. Are you Kevin?

 

[CoconutTank]

I'm stepping out of that game. Dying like 3 seconds after confirmation, ink updating slowly, and I am probably getting kills I shouldn't be getting.

This doesn't happen in previous GAF games :/ other games I played today seemed fine, so this is weird.
