Speaking of colors.
Whats your favourite Ink color?
I love the dark blue one because it feels like im actually swimming in an ocean. And Pink is kinda rad as well., its like swimming in pepto bismol

Heh, I go to play Super Metroid after the bad run my team conrantly had yesterday, and forgot to turn it off for the night. So when I wake up, it's still on. I play for another 10 minutes before switching over to Splatoon. I sign on, get my 18 (expected) snails, walk to the Online lobby door, and try to shoot it to open it before realizing that this isn't Super Metroid. Ha... I should drink some cold water before I play.
I love the dark blue too
lol
But.. wait.. one of them is 2D, and the other is 3D
If it was Prime, I would understand, but Super?

Although if a lot of people from Eat are getting a fair few 4v1 matches, then obviously they'll win those adding more to their total, it ain't fair
I wonder if matches that start with a different number of players on each side are actually counted for the Splatfest win/loss results.
I don't even know why these matches are allowed to start
Several lobby design choices in this game are downright impossible to understand.

Well, Prime (followed shortly by Fusion) WAS my first Metroid. =P
So I've got someone called FridgeBoy in my game...who is on #TeamSleep and plays as a girl.
Lol.
And damn, looks like Team Sleep have fallen asleep as I am on a streak and looking to get to Eternal after all.

Strangely, Sky Blue and Green. I didn't think I would like Sky Blue so much, but after that one level in single player I love it.

Just saw the the results for Splatfest NA, I'm really surprised! I didn't think rollercoaster was going to win. Won 2 Splatfest so far! Shame I only got to Champion rank.

Almost at eternal. Got a good team immediately. We're 10-1 I think
I always quit at the first loss. No matter if we had a 20 streak before.
Fucking Com Error screwed up my chances of getting Eternal probably.

It depends on how you want to play. If you want the campy and defensive Charger that keeps people away from your side, Damage Up isn't necessary. If you want to be a Squiffer while not actually using a Squiffer, then you need all of the Damage Ups that you can get. I prefer the middle road usually. One damage Up main with a few subs IIRC. I change gear occasionally, so yeah. Still, it doesn't stop me from experimenting with other builds.

Eternal Eat boy here as well. But I also felt that everytime my team met another eat team, they we easily beaten.
How was the percentages for the american splatfest?

I agree about Splatfest. With the maps they gave us this time it was brutal. At least allow us to play with friends on the same team.

We had 2 splattershot pros so it was bound to happen. Crappy painting power. We were mostly getting by because we were just murdering shit
Ended up disconnecting at 13 games. Oh well, 2 more to go
Depends entirely what Charger and what kind of game you want to play.
I use Ink Bomb Range up, Ink Bomb Ink consumption down and Ink Tank Refill up.

Thought I'd try and get a few more wins in for sleep before the end, nothing but connection errors. And yet again, it's only team sleep that drops members, eat always stays at 4.

That's because you prefer to hold spots down. =P
What's wrong with it? I found it perfectly usable.
Playing against randoms has probably developed me a couple of bad habits now. You can just see it in their movement when they haven't encountered a decent Charger user.
I'm aware. I just don't understand the point of asking for advice when you've already predecided how you are going to play.

I guess I just wanted to spark more Charger discussion after seeing how rare they were yesterday. =( I saw maybe 2 other Chargers during the whole time I was grinding for rank during Splatfest.
I still insist that putting damage ups on a Charger is some weak ass shit that is never going to fly in any real games.
Like you're basing your game on shorter range gameplay when in real games you should be responsible of destroying any opposite team chargers (and once August update rolls in there will be more of that you can quote me on that).

Looks like I found a good team that understands the subtle intricancies of the game, you know like holding the fucking top area in Saltspray Rig. It's a pity the splatfest ends in 5 minutes
This is the second time today I see people saying that holding the top area is somehow important in Saltspray Rig but that's not true. It's the area below the top area that's important to hold.
What is this "real games" you're talking about?
Organized teams and tactics.
You mean games that sometimes happen or games that don't exist yet?
Dmg up is how you kill opposing chargers.

Haven't played splatoon since the last splatfest (still haven't received any snails..) and just remembered that current splatfest. Lags everywhere, disconnecting players, wallpainters. I guess i am out again.
Yeah, when I say top area I reffer to both the biggest and the smaller one that controls access to it.

The fun thing about Chargers is that they are so versatile in playstyle. There are so many ways to play that class. There was even a point where I was screwing around pretending to be a Ninja Charger with the E-Liter and Burst Bombs in a GAF room. I think I made Azure salty with that one. (Sorry, Azure.)
Pile on Damage Ups and become a Squiffer that can also hit from afar. Become a bomb monster by putting on subs that decrease sub ink usage, etc.
I actually want to screw around with a build that prioritizes multiple Bomb Throw Ups. =P
Well basically games I'm not aware that exist yet. More or less what you could call competitive play.
DMG up assumes the other Charger will come down to range you're most effective in. There's better perks if you want to utilize Charger's range.
Oh yeah that's true. Sometimes I just see the opposite team just defending the top area by super jumping there and that's a good way to lose the game.

Thank god I never again have to be grouped with all those people on Team Sleeping. I can't comprehend how 3 level 20s, two of which are Eternal rank decided that it'd be a great idea to run off and "try" to spawn camp one guy and not even paint the enemy base, leaving me solo to defend the entire rest of the map.
Invisible roads was it
Yep lol.
That level with the invisible platforming plus night time look is so aesthetically pleasing to me~

The problem is that the northern and southern blocks of the top area are about 40% of the map IIRC. Holding that area until the last 15 seconds might work out in the favor of the team holding it. But only holding the top makes it easy for the other team to take the top by force due to having all of the bottom to hide.
