That was a tense match.
Seems like we're going rouge again.
Rollers are a blast but they require a different playstyle. I really enjoy them but I tend to stick with longer range weapons in Ranked games just because I have zero faith in my own play.
By rogue, you mean water slides right?
I want to support #TeamMarie again despite my love for roller coasters.
I think this is the right choice. I love me some roller coasters but Marie wouldn't steer me wrong.

Bad game from me.
waterslides vs rollercoasters are difficult for me. I've ridden most of the major thrill rides from coast to coast in the US including the tallest and fastest rolelr coaster in the world. After which they started to before me. Really large drop off water slides are still thrilling so I should probably vote that.

I'm using the brush, so naturally Azure has to switch to it to show his dominance. =P

We should get a money room going one day. =P
Almost a comeback.
I just want cash!
Also, this dude in here is trying so hard to troll me with the sniper laser.
lol fair enough.
PS: Azure J are we really not NNID homies? Considering how many times we've played I can't believe this.
WHY DOES BLUESILVER HIT SO HARD
DONT YOU DARE TELL ME DAMAGE UP IS MAKING THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE
Weird. I coulda sworn I made space for you on my list.

How did you like that brush play? Think I wasn't being aggressive enough or something else?
I wanted to play against you more, but I'm getting tired. GGs anyways. =D

In my case it's usually the entire team. God knows why everyone is obsessed with that crappy little southern square so much that we need 3 people down there to defend against 1 guy.
...I will never be that good with the charger ever.
I wonder how the competitive scene will begin to unfold after custom games are possible. Will all teams have an E Liter (or Splatterscope depending on map size)? When your aim is near perfect I guess why wouldn't you play charger?
Dang, Bamboozler makes the Squiffer even more obsolete. Sure it takes a minimum of 2 shots to kill with it, but a full charge is less than half a Squiffer and your second hit doesn't have to be a full charge to KO. And all charges have longer range than Squiffer, and it has more move speed than Squiffer. Ouch. I seriously think the only hope for the Squiffer is to give it the same move speed as the Splattershot firing even when fully charged. Or even Nozzlenose speed, why not. I guess Bamboozler will be the Scout to the E Liter's AWP, leaving the Squiffer in the "WTF why do I have less range than a Squelcher" category.
I sometimes have those moments where I score a triple kill in rapid succession like in this video, but obviously my aim is not anywhere near as good. Like, when you jump down on Moray Towers in front of an E-Liter or walk down the ramp in kid form you're as good as dead. Also interesting that he plays the weapon without Damage Up

Try looking at it like a really sneaky and mobile roller that is only reliable with kills when you get the drop on someone at point blank.
You will usually find good results on open maps where you can easily use the roll function to run past the enemy and quickly ink up an area. Don't be afraid to toss out your sprinkler as a distraction and lie in wait for someone to come up so that you can jump out and spam that ZR.
Ink Brush can paint as well as or better than any other weapon. And you have the Sprinkler to help paint areas you don't want to commit to as well. For kills you have to sneak up in your own ink or use the "roll" which lets you move through enemy territory at about normal swim speed. Using the roll is also a way to sneak through enemy lines and then paint very quickly by spamming the attack button (with the Sprinkler, you can paint two areas at once basically). Head-on engagements are suicide unless your enemy cannot aim.
Thanks for answering. That's what I thought the answer would be.
I think I mainly use weapons I'm not confident with in GAF rooms and I never feel completely confident with a charger. I could always use practice with aiming.
That video is amazing and shows why the E-liter is so good on Moray. The jump shots are on point here. I wished he had some Tower Control footage on Saltspray Rig. I can't really tell the furthest an E-liter can shoot from the spawn platform.
I feel like I need to up my sensitivity after watching that.
It's easier to hit with one shot than to kill with two.
A two shot requirement defeats the purpose of chargers.
