Splatoon |OT3| Feel Good Ink

- Start date
I did way better than last time this time despite using a slightly slower gun and playing in matches were I did really horrible(under 500p), but never under 400p. I never broke a 1000 points without winning once, but I came close a few times. I had stretches were I was winning like crazy and I got a vibe around 13 during the splatfest.

I don't know what was going on this Splatfest, but I saw exactly one other charger for Team Roller Coaster in my entire trip to Queen.
And then you do it for herWe did it for Callie
That's how you know you can win
You do it for her, that is to say
You'll do it for him
Deep down you know
You weren't built for fighting
But that doesn't mean
You're not prepared to try
What they don't know
Is your real advantage
When you live for someone
You're prepared to dye
Deep down I know
That I'm just a kid (True)
But I know that I can draw my brush and fight
With my short existence (Good)
I can make a difference (Yes, excellent!)
I can be there for her
I can be her knight
I can do it for her
You'd do it for her
Okay, now do that again (Yes, ma'am.)
You do it for her, and now you say:
I'll do it for him

Re-rollled and got two swim speed up subs
Got a quadruple splat with the inkzooka felt so good
It's always good in turf war. For ranked it depends on your play style but I don't think it's very useful and don't use it.
I don't really like either and I should have gone with #TeamCallie #SuperiorSquid but I do not like heights
Same
Water slides are more available than roller coasters tho.. Most Roller Coasters are at amusement parks while water slides can exist at any public or private pool or natatorium.
I'm trying my best to not let that happen. Two Splatfest defeats in row would break me.
I got some ballin' ass rerolls with all the Shells I earned from this splatfest, including a perfect pair of Krak-On Blue Slip Ons on my first try much to my surprise (why can't I get that lucky with the Ink Resist Red Hi Tops?). I wish if there were an easier way to get more triple subs though. I want to experiment/wear more rad combinations.
On a related note, what do you all think is mandatory for a Octobrush build? Currently, I'm trying to set up some new gear and all that immediately comes to mind is Ink Saver Main and Ink Recovery Up.

nope, which is why I think TeamEating is probably more popular
oh, so that's why I always lose track of you when I kraken
I use it for my splatterscope and blaster for both ranked and turf wars. I'm aware of moving at 60% speed (just an estimate, I don't know how fast you can actually go) and be undetected without ninja squid but I don't want to worry about moving too fast.
Just got destroyed by another 4 members of #TeamEating. So it does happen.

Team Roller Coaster riding Dog checking in XD...delicious sea snails. Anyway, glad we now saw a perfect example of how the match results can win these assuming the popularity isnt so far in one sides favor.
also I love tower control on Moray Towers. I think they had this mode in mind when designing it. all the angles of approach, the hiding spots, and it feels like a true climb/battle. Im learning how ink mines can be huge in this mode

I can see how its useful for blaster but what does it accomplish for splatterscopes.
Usually when I get pinned down by other sniper or long range weapons in general, I fire 3 or 4 shots at random directions and stealthily move to one of the lanes and try to either pick them off from there or to increase the distance from the enemy. It really depends on your play style tbh, I just like having the option to trick my opponents when I can.
Well I made it to Eternal Eating Girl. That's enough I think.
Out of interest. When is the generally accepted point that you should be inking the base? I figure it's mid-game because early game drawing a strong front line is more important and by endgame every second you can spend inking opponent's turf is twice as useful as inking the base.

I spent a lot of today using the Inkzooka and I'm not sure I like it very much for turf wars. You get stuck unable to ink turf for so long.
I don't think teamsleep is winning more...yesterday at the beginning of the splatfest I was getting destroyed by teamsleep (and playing terribadly) but after a break everything changed and I don't think I lost more than 4 battles in 4 hours. Also, I got 4 or 5 eat VS eat matches, so I think teameat has the advantage of popularity.
Go team eat!
I had that happen earlier today. The poor guy stuck alone just stood on his Kelp Dome tower mashing ZL

Not a chance. Last night I spent most of my time carrying team sleep to narrow victories (3 matches in a night won by 0.1%, ridiculous) or having half the team dropped through connection errors. The matchmaking seriously had something against sleep yesterday.

I would really like a better internet connection. As soon as anyone else tries to use the internet the comm errors come crashing in for me. I'm ruining the chances of team sleep
About a quarter of the way to eternal. Hopefully I can reach the end.

That sums up yesterday as Team Eat for me. Except that kind of failed to hold the bottom part as well
In the last splatfest I got a 2 vs 0 match. The other guy and I painted everything on Wally's Warehouse and ended in top of the boxes in the middle shooting at ea h while we jumped and spammed "great!" The other team still got a 0.4% score.
Btw, you can't walk into the enemy base, the shield will repel you with a nice animation of a backwards jump. The attention to detail in this game is superb, like how even Spike "dances" to the music of the splatfest or how seagulls and birds will escape you when you approach them in the underpass or the rig.

It's fun and hilarious. No reason you or your team should be there but you are. You have to get passed middle/contested area where battles should be happening, but they're not, then run up one ramp, plus hop on those last 4 steps to get to opposing team spawn.
By that point I'll usually have Kraken ready to go and just plant beacon points right in front of opposing team spawn just so they start shooting at them then I unleash my roller as they're focused on the 3 beacon points I just planted in front of their spawn.
If I have to hop those 4 steps on Bluefin Depot with my roller toward your spawn the match is long over.
Happened a couple of times today.
Team Cat and Team Waterslide stay losing.

I only realised a few minutes ago that a splatfest was on, after a pretty bad week made me forget. I could fit in a few hours hours in still.
And for my first game in almost a week, it was strange. I got 1277p, but saw opponents just twice (that I can remember at least?), got 1 kill, 0 deaths, and my team lost with about 30%. It was full teams too.
Second match, I got up to 1108p, including getting 3 kills in under 10 seconds, eventually getting an unstable connection message with 30 seconds left (dsfjksdf), and one player on my team was away from the controller the whole time. Oh well.
And now I am matched up with a fellow named Wanky Pete.

Ugh, it's absolutely soul destroying being on the team with less people. You know there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, so you just have to endure three minutes of torture, made even worse by the fact two people on the opposite team were using krakens. I had to come off the game out of sheer frustration.

I had four or five really fun games where my side started with 3 level 20s and the other side had 4 low levels. The 20s won every time.
Depends on the actual setup. At least you can get a decent score when the enemy team is larger. It's true, you'll likely lose, but you really just have to try to evade their cluster.
Just run away until Kraken runs out. You can also shoot it. If you find a grate then that's cool too because Kraken falls right though. Basically it's not all that good unless you are caught by surprise.
Run away or hide is the main strategy.
If you have a weapon with a high rate of fire you can stop them in their tracks though, I've gotten many kills with the N-Zap by just shooting them until they run out of their special.

The most sensible method, assuming you have a fair amount of your own ink around you, is simply to hide in your own ink and shadow them until it is about to run out, then kill them. I wouldn't recommend trying to shoot them to keep them back, if that kraken is lagging even slightly the knockback will not work. Also they have no downtime when changing form, so they can and will OHKO splash you the split second they change back if you're in range.
