Japanese E-Litre players terrify me, I have to rely on inkstrike + suicide charge into the enemy base to take care of them. The day that E-Litre 3K Scope gets released, we're doomed.

Two ranked matches in a row, with different players, and I literally had to do everything myself. This is A rank so there is no excuse.
And there is the third. This is ridiculous. It's as though everyone handed the controller to their child. I am capturing the tower, killing three of their team, wiping out everyone on and around the tower, and I look down at map to see everyone else dead. I can't do it all.

Do you know where you're going to hit before you jump? Do you just release the trigger at the apex of your jump? At least I don't think there's enough time to get a hit confirmation during the jump. Side to side is pretty important for close combat though. Even at +3 sensitivity it does require me jerking the gamepad pretty significantly.
On the end of the platform before jumping down? The snapshotting at that level I can't do, but walking up the closest catwalk ramp, checking the opposing catwalk ramp, then checking the ramp up is pretty standard charger opening on Bluefin Depot. I typically shoot the ends of ink trails as a charger, it's even more obvious if you glance at the map to see that there's no movement around the end. That's a dead giveaway. If the other person was smarter he would stay a bit further away from the end.
I play at +3 sensitivity and often I feel my hands are not steady enough for that sensitivity. I'm not sure if he's playing at high sensitivity or just being really smart with his right analog for snapshotting (there's no way to do 360 degree turn and shoot otherwise), but if he's playing at high sensitivity those are amazingly steady hands.

Anybody have a mirror of this. Can't watch niconico videos.
There is: Rank is not an accurate tell of skill. I've been in A+ for a while. There's not much difference between B through A+. The worst players are in Cs, everyone else is mixed in B - A+.

As much as I love this game the online needs some work. Played a few game last night and this morning: connection unstable, returning to lobby not enough players even though 8 show, teleporting opponents, super delayed kills. My wii u is wired and my other games are fine online. Realty hope they patch this game
The link given is a redirect to another redirect, where I have log in. So, yeah, anyone have a video we can see?
Dwango? That brings back memories.

Having an extremely close ranked match and then a player on your side disconnecting 2 minutes in is devastating.

that feeling when your team keeps getting wiped out singlehandedly by some japanese player who is clearly belongs in a whole letter rank above anyone else in the match but is in the same rank as you for some incomprehensible reason
That japanese player is lower rank because they lost a dozen matches by having teammates who clearly belong a whole letter rank below anyone else in the match but was the same rank as him for some incomprehensible reason.
I had to crank my sensitivity to max and it still isn't high enough for inkbrush.
I thought I was using +2 before, but I was apparently using +1. I rest my arms on my lap while playing, so a higher sensitivity would help with moving fast. I tried +3 since about an hour ago and it seems to be working fine. Though I only tried an E-liter 3K so far.
Everyone seems to have a Jungle hat with exactly that.

Has anyone been lucky enough to get a Ink Saver Main for their main ability with 3 Ink Saver Sub sub-abilities or vice versa?
Yeah, seems like Jungle hat has the best chances (5x). Looking at the guide there's 1/2 chances with the Studio Headphones and White tee. Both of which I'd rather have over the Jungle hat lol

How many rolls did it take for the jungle hat?I thought I was using +2 before, but I was apparently using +1.

I only have two ink saver subs on my Jungle hat. I've been slacking on the gear rerolls.I thought I was using +2 before, but I was apparently using +1.

It makes it easier to put together outfits with the subs you want. To the best of my knowledge there is no stat advantage to having your sub abilities concentrated on one piece of gear.
The Jungle hat has an affinity for ink saver sub. Brands with an affinity for a certain sub have approximately a 1/36 chance of rolling 3 of that sub.
Try your luck with the Octoling Armor
The only advantage I can think of is that you don't have to use 3 specific gear to get 3x subs of a certain ability. You would be able to mix and match with ease.
I don't think I had to re-roll for that.

Yep, GGs. Saltspray Rig tower control + two highly skilled E-liters = mass destruction. I think you've inspired me to start using e-liters.

I'm at the point where I want to maximize my gear set. Focus on just 6 abilities. 3 main and 3 subs (where every 3 subs equals 1 ability). I'd probably only use this set going forward. Going to take some finesse (and money) in getting what I want.

I rolled it a few times and only got 2 ink savers
Wait, I was under the impression that all gear with an affinity for a certain sub had 3X the chances of rolling that sub. Is that not the case?

Nah... it's 5x
I remember one of my tower control games on Saltspray we had an e-liter on our team and a splattershot on the other. I remember worrying a bit about the spattershot user but I never once interacted with them the entire game despite riding the tower about half the time. I'm pretty sure our team's e-liter was constantly taking them out

Any one got a link to the gear guide I've seen referenced a couple of times?
It wasn't in the OT.

Lol just helping a fellow splatoon player out
Oh. I see, I was confusing that with the fact that the odd of rolling the prefered ability was approximately 1/3 (actually 10/33).
PadWarrior

Which is weird cause every time I roll for an ability I only get 2 and not 3 even though the chances are high.
Well, the odds of rolling all 3 are is still only ~1/36, so it's not that high.

Wish we could pick and choose lol
Oh, the Jungle Hat favors Ink Saver Sub in the re-rolls? I think I had it backwards. Mine initially got 2 Ink Saver Mains and 1 Ink Saver Sub (on top of the main ability), so I always assumed people use it to pile on the Ink Saver Main.
I wonder if I should re-roll it. Getting +25% more main ink on one piece of equipment is nice, but the Ink Saver Subs would make it much more balanced.

iirc even uncharged shots fire at max range and it charges quite fast. It's going to be quite an interesting weapon
The store changes its stock every day at midnight, so it'll probably update with better gear then. You don't have to buy everything for them to show up
It might just random at higher levels. I found better stuff in the shop on my 3rd day of playing. Even now, it's just a mix of maybe 1 3-star, with the rest being 1 or 2 star stuff.
The shop won't change midday once the shop updates at midnight your time you should have better gear available
Went to bed and missed this post but you're pretty good with the brush. I found myself kinda surprised at how often I lost head on versus your brushery in CQC. At the same time, I also wonder how you lost so often to me getting back or side slashes in. :lol
You were very good about getting to the main objectives on the map in the Saltspray matches, but I wondered why you always played distraction first (especially since the thin brush roll lines were a dead giveaway that a brush player was there) instead of coating the upper area so opposing teams couldn't get in immediately and you had more room to approach people with.
Sprinkler use was also on point though I imagine you don't play weapons with sprinklers often enough since there were some really tricky places you could leave them in Cash Dome to make everyone's day hell. (Also shoutouts to you being the non-ninja'd brush that ran in on enemy territory that one time leading to everyone aiming at you while I came in and smacked everything ever so we could both leave untouched. :lol)
All in all, good stuff but I def think you can be even better with it.
Now I'd like to hear some stuff about the charger play I had last night. Upping the sensitivity has led to me getting some really snappy kills last night and I was honestly not expecting to land them, especially when trying to react to you in brush mode.
ya I was just in a random lobby. I guess this game won't start anymore
Saltspray Rig Tower Control is what made me want to use the E-liter. It really is good on that map.
