Splatoon |OT3| Feel Good Ink

just using it to get some cheap lag kills.For the record I hate the standard .96 Gal. The deco is so much better.
I was only using it cause it was my least used weapon.

Okay guys, why do you like burst bombs over the other bombs?
they don't use a lot of ink so you can lob out multiple bombs at a time and they burst on impact so you can use them to be directly offensive
I like all bombs equally, I just don't use suction much since the only weapon I like with it is the tentatek splattershot, and I don't even use it much either. I think bombs are the best sub weapons for sure though
Edit: finally won lol, I can switch weapons now

I personally prefer Suction Bombs the most, but I find Burst Bombs to be useful in their own ways. Burst Bombs are more likely to be able to splat an enemy (whereas a Splat Bomb or Suction Bomb just makes them scatter) and can be meaningfully combo'd with your main weapon. Burst Bombs can also be used to free yourself from enemy ink and are sort of okay for inking terrain. Specifically for the Carbon Roller, it's easier to ink walls with Burst Bombs than with the Carbon Roller itself.
At some level, if your accuracy gets good enough, you can count on the enemy having 60 HP less if you can nail them with a direct Burst Bomb whenever you want.
Even with that said though I don't think Bomb Rush with Burst Bombs is all that great. I've seen others get great results out of using the normal Splattershot, I just haven't been able to reproduce that sort of success myself.

I can't hate on any of the bombs, but my least used is Suction because the weapons that use them are weapons I don't normally use.
You should be looking at the map, Violet. =P

I was specifically avoiding the side you were on to attack you from behind, when I was playing with the pro lol. Ggs to everyone I played with.
Wait...people like burst bombs over other bombs? I thought I was the only one and crazy for it o.o
Similarly to what phanphare said you can throw a bunch out at a time and when you get somebody with JUST splat bombs? Instant splatification!
true, I'm really terrible at multitasking. I'm used to watching the corridor on Mall for a potential ambush by now but I need to pay more attention on Bluefin as well
that kraken juke was glorious, btw
I need to order your shoes. Are you going to be on when they release the new weapon?
sure, looking forward to getting splatted by your E-Liter Scope over and over again
in 57 minutes!

Well that was ugly :{
Edit: OK, what is this laggy bullshit where SM239 can still superjump to beacons after I destroy them???

burst bomb splats are the best
he probably started jumping before you destroyed it

Maybe he was already en route to the Beakon when you destroyed it? How much time passed between you destroying the Beakon and SM239 landing?
If I tap them before you destroy them I'll still jump to its location.

All this gear I'm leveling is spawning the worst possible crap -_-
This is pretty cool
Seems like it's free for two weeks as well

I find that the stealth jump nerf actually comes in handy with beacons. Since you can jump to teammates already behind lines and stall your jump to beacons to surprise enemies.

Forgot to mention that I'm starting to get 3x of the same sub abilities now. Got my contacts with ink recovery up so they'll come in handy

When I feel like using the e-liter, using burst bombs are faster at painting walls than charging.
Alright thanks. I don't know how my aim will be tonight so you might be the one who kills me over and over tonight.

Thank god, I'm done leveling shit for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the burst bombs impressions, inklings. I've never gotten the hang of them before. But then again I said that about the splash wall and now I fucking love it. So maybe I'll give them a shot for a while.
I don't remember a kraken juke I did on you, but I do it often, unless your talking about one you did to me. I love krakens, being one or facing one, it always leaves for something epic. You have never even seen my signature move against a kraken, I pretend to run away then charge at them and jump over them, it's so funny. I wouldn't dare try it on you though, that lag might end up killing me lol
ok the range increase actually isn't significant, I guess I can live with that
on Bluefin I tried to Kraken you, you headed towards the wall which I didn't notice was painted in your ink, I tried to follow you, swam up the wall, noticed that you were not I expected you and err ... lost track of you and wandered around aimlessly for the rest of the duration. Oh, and please do try to jump over the Kraken I'd very much like that
