Those head-on kills I'm kinda used by now, but there was one shot where I was swimming between the inaccessible platform to the middle platform and you got a kill through that narrow angle between the two higher boxes in the middle. I wasn't sure if that was because of lag or you really did pull off an amazing shot.

well, lag spikes don't exactly give me any special powers. I can't shoot through objects or anything. Either I hit you earlier and there was a long delay (don't think that happened in these games, we had two double splats tho) or I must have just gotten quite lucky

Finalow, are you playing ranked right now?
I didn't even want to start ranked but no gaf rooms were up.

I was stopping and going to eject the disk of the game to calmly snap it in half but then you showed up so I did some more games. at least we had a couple of decent matches instead of the usual brain dead playing with no hands players that infest the B trench, just a couple of them though. can't even play well in that mode, I'm used to gaf rooms where people know how to actually play the game. also octobrush is much better there

oh, that last game lag-roller Tony killed me at least 5 times, kraken or not.
 
It sucks that most of the three sub gear is ugly. Kinda undermines the whole "lookin fresh" thing. Unless Nintendo is tryin to teach us that fashion comes at the cost of practicality.
You can add more slots to any gear that has less than 3 sub slots. You have to be lv 20 first, then you get the opportunity to pay Spike 30k squid bucks per extra slot.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that your connection has issues because if you didn't have lag I definitely would have been very impressed by that shot knowing that it was made in real time even if you're just lucky.
Edit: Should also add that it was even impressive for a lucky shot because you're aiming from top-down meaning that it has to hit right at the very spot and not anywhere else unlike a same level charge shot which can hit further in front or behind.



I wonder if any chargers has such a good precise timing of their charge to kill that they immediately can tell someone is wearing defense up gear.

Wooow that Laura Step person is lagging like crazy. I hit her about 8 times before her bubbler finally popped up

Why does the lag make a shot less impressive? He still had to aim and hit you.

Because one is a narrow window split-second hit on a swimming squid and the other is a wide window hit on a standing/falling squid. Violet is of course well beyond the level where he can just aim and hit people. :p

When I encounter someone with Def up, I just charger my shots longer for everyone even if they don't have defense up. It's hard to differentiate my targets and it's easier to treat everyone as if they have Def up.

Thats generally not how lag works. The enemies movements are still accurately represented, just a split second delayed.

I still don't get it. You are moving on his screen. He still has to hit your avatar on his screen. The game doesn't just allow a random shot to count as a hit.

oh, that was on the Walleye when you jumped from the container? I just hit you in the air and you splatted when you hit the ground a moment later. That was no tricky shot

Yeah, you could have hit me then, but the moment it registered for me was when I was halfway swimming between the platform and the middle platform.

Uh, he still needs to send the signal back that he hit me.

And I think I'm done for the day. Too many connection problems. Having a wait timer just for random matches. I actually got a message saying connection unstable during a match. I got a connection error at the end of a match. Ugh.

yeah, that's what I mean with delayed deaths. Same as when you shoot someone and they don't get splatted immediately

Ran into a lot of GAF in ranked just now. Was really going crazy trying to pick up the slack but these rooms man... :lol

LOL. I just learned that the japanese name for the Octobrush, "Hokusai" is based on the name of Edo Period Painter Katsushika Hokusai who painted the famous piece "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife." In other words, the artist that made the world's first tentacle porn.

To say it in simpler terms, one scenario is you're aiming a guy jumping down from the opposite tower in Moray Towers, the other you're trying to aim at a brush zooming across the map.

In this game, a hit is a hit. Even if it takes two minutes for his system to send you the hit.

Uh... nevermind.

Yeah I'm saying that he could make the sickest snipe, and you died a delayed death. It doesn't mean he was sniping an easy target. He was sniping a ghost of your previous movements.

In this particular scenario, whether he hit me right while I was swimming or when I was falling was the difference between a good snipe and an amazing snipe.

I don't know if you guys are intentionally being obtuse about this whole thing. Of course it fucking matters whether it was an amazing snipe that people usually don't attempt or a snipe that very good chargers usually hit.

And I don't consider myself a very good charger.

Hilarious. ^^

I blame Nogami, for some reason i remember him as the perv on the team. But i can´t remember the reason why.

I got a connection error earlier today with 19 seconds left in the match. I had kicked so much ass that game, too. Killed three of the opposing players one after the other at one point. Probably had a sweet KDR and ink score.

Nintendo needs to fix the netcode so badly.

But doesn't lag make it easier because players are reacting to your laser from a couple of seconds ago? If your laser is lagging, they might make a movement that they think is safe but really isn't. It might still be a "sick" snipe in terms of accuracy, but you might not have had the opportunity to make that shot if you hadn't been lagging.
 
That's my main issue with the e-liter actually, the weaker sounds at lower charges tends to make me think that I don't have enough charge.

Are you talking about the sound of the E-Liter releasing its charge? I'm talking about the whirring sound as you charge up.

Regarding the Violet snipe, people are just misunderstanding your post.

I think when dealing with chargers (and other weapons) you have to always keep the possibility lag in mind, so the best thing to do is to keep out of their line of sight, and either flank them or approach them when they're distracted. Dancing around their laser is asking for it.

There is white and yellow ink?

Edit: ohhhhhhhhh , Lemon Tea vs Milk Tea
that was really nice. I wonder how hard can it be to actually add that colour permanently to the game.

Knowing that I actually outrange Squiffers is coming in useful. Thought we were tied but I guess that was DS and Squiffers.
Edit:
Oh man, there was exactly one squid/kid worth of space between that wail and the wall.
