That's a pretty cool strategy. That guy must have a lot of patience, I would flip out after my 5th death.
Totally called them playable in August update... if that's what this is.

I wish they used the other dpad directions for pings.
Something like "get on the tower!" and "paint the base!" would be cool

Oh yeah I've seen those before but always run past it in all the action.
Dear god. This is not fine.
Yeah I agree. Why only make two when there are four directional inputs?
I wouldn't want people to get bossy. The people who need this sort of direction wouldn't even know what to do anyway. I would prefer informative "I'm attacking" or "I'm defending" messages.

I have a strong bias toward engagement when I meet an enemy unexpectedly (which happened with you a lot), kind of overrode my natural survival instinct. I played stealthier on Monday and did a lot better on average, so I think I just need to do a better job of keeping my wits, lol.
Brought my Wii U over to a friend's place yesterday and had both of us join some GAF rooms (if you saw a cornpop, that was my friend). It's pretty fun teaming up with someone right next to you, which makes it all the worse that you can't have 2 people online together on 1 Wii U.
I also used his amiibos to get the remaining minigames and weapon skins I didn't have. For the boy amiibo, the challenges were only slightly more difficult, and the final boss was pretty much the same. For the Squid amiibo, the Kraken challenges were boring as fuck, even the final boss. On the other hand, the limited ink challenges were awesome and it made me sad that there were so much fewer limited ink challenges than there were kraken challenges. Limited Ink Inkvisible Avenues was the most stressful thing ever.
As for the minigames, Squid Racer>Squid Jump>Squid Ball.
Squid Beatz>All
Literally never going to do anything between matches anymore except play the Squid Sisters final boss theme.
That Callie/Marie art is adorable.
Sakakguchi/Amano pls.

Yeah, I agree, I'm just venting, lol
Maybe "Let's go!" to promote a push forward, and "Danger!" so people don't jump to you

Octoling splattershot looks sweet

Splattershot pro with different sub/special?
I already told you on Twitch chat, but yea.
Here's how I did it for everyone else.
That wall is paintable. You can use it to hide.Doing a fake suicide would only work on those who didn't know about it.
I did that on accident with a Kraken. Fell down over there thinking it was over. But nope!
Climbed up and got the person who knocked me back.
I hate the nerf to Kraken

Looks like a regular splattershot. Be curious what sub/special it would get.
Guys do you think that the August update will include playable Octolings, hence Team Matchmaking will be made up of one team of squids and one team of Octolings. Not sure why Japan's twitter will be making cryptic twitts about it.

That's a bit of a leap to make from just a tweet of an octoling without her goggles

So like this?
I had to edit out everyone else's names so as not to cause a ruckus
Putting me on the tank works well because I move up and down enough to make freaking pistons jealous.
Oh, I think there's a typo on that totem. Your name is at the very top for some reason.
You'd be at the top if it was the Roller Totem. =P
There wasn't a redundant sentence at all in this post earlier. Nope. None whatsoever.

Yeah I've played against Red a few times, I managed to do okay against him in a room that was just me, him, and a bunch of randoms but I can't keep up with rollers who have a full gaf team backing them up.
ANYWAY

-Most are ranked in the B- through B+ range, but there's a big spike at A+ as well
-71% don't usually play TPSs or FPSs
-73% play as the Inkling girl
-31% choose gear purely for their abilities, 15% choose purely on style/looks, 54% say both is important
-64% prefer an aggressive playstyle (taking out the enemy) over a non-aggressive one (focusing on spreading ink)

I find it unlikely that there will be a team Octolings versus team Squids (that would require an evenly split player base which is just not really possible) but it seems like Octolings might become playable after all, although I don't know how they'd fix the headgear problem
anyway, Octolings are fresh

These As don't know how to play and are always on my team, causing me to lose 12 points consistently.
B+ seesaw continues. =/

Tentatek appeared to me to become popular with the release of Tower Control. Suction Bombs and long range damage.
Splattershot Pro ink usage is very high. For this reason, it feels difficult to use in any mode. It doesn't ink well in turf wars, and has to recharge too frequently to help keep control in splat zones or tower control. Tower Control is particularly harsh when you are spending half your time in the field recharging ink.
That happened last time already, the noodles are/were a brand.

I know this is random but is any SplatGAF playing Rocket League as well? Does it live up to the hype and is it as addicting/fun as Splatoon?
I actually pretty much completely stopped playing Splatoon to play Rocket League. I'll come back to Splatoon one day, but right now Rocket League is one of the most outrageously addicting games I've ever played.

Just looked this game up doesn't do anything for me personally so I will stick to splatoon
Though I do need to get back into smash bros I'm sure I'm super rusty now
I watched a few videos. I'm happy for the PS4 fans to have a fun team game to play, but I would never choose this over Splatoon.
Speaking of that, anyone online now? I'm debating between playing or having a nap.
I haven't actually played it, but I did watch streams of it before and it seems like a lot of fun. It looks like a simple, but fun multiplayer game.

I might drop the cash and pick it up for Steam today. I basically play Splatoon daily, so I'll see if Rocket League will change that lol
game looks pretty fun but I wasn't curious enough to drop $20 on it
plus I'll just wait for the superior version to release on 3DS, being blast ball
I hope this means playable
I wonder what the boys would look like, hair wise. Probably like iori

Wait, you guys didn't know about this? Was I really the only one attempting this as a Charger whenever Bluefin came up? Surely ChargerGAF knows... I think.
The fake suicide wall at Bluefin is something I didn't know about until Azure or Atr0cious showed it off a few days ago.

It's just about the saddest "missed opportunity" ever as is. If it came with Suction Bombs or more optimally Burst Bombs, it would be the best brush overall (yes even over Octo and its variants) just for the utility.
I KNEW you could do it. I just never knew how to re-emulate sniping a sprinkler on the enemy team's side through said grate. Now I HAVE to get better with E-Liter Scope. :lol
