Felt bad for you as I was slowly chipping away at your territory and I realized you had no support.
He's now level 5. I'm so proud of him.
He was level 2 when he first joined :')

Sent you a request.
The best part about that comment is that Splatoon is that the game is noticeably better for headlining the Inkling girl

Yeah, gotta practice using Charger VS Heng. I even think that Charger Heng would have problems with Blaster Heng.
I love randoms. I see a Krak-On Roller get his Special in the hallway that you need to go to the enemy spawn at Walleye and I squidkid at on the grate. He gets aggravated, unleashes the Kraken early, swims onto the grate, and falls without killing me. =P
To clarify, the enemy Roller infiltrated our base, took the hallway to the left that is a popular beakon spot, came out, Kraken'd fairly far from me, and swam onto the grate I was squidkidding on and fell.
What do you do when you get stuck between a tiny square that leads to the ocean at Saltspray with no escape route and my bomb rush? Why you jump off of course! I lol'd so hard that I let the opposing E-Liter kill me. I love that guy that jumped. =D

Are you saying my charger skills is nowhere close to my blaster? It's pretty easy to stop me, you guys keep forgetting I have ninja squid and let me slowly build up room to move around.
And I think Robot is pretty good with the blaster. If you play with him enough, you'll find out how to fight any blaster.
Oh and violet chose suicide over my bombs as well.

I'm saying it's hard to hit a Ninja Squid Hopping Blaster as a Charger overall. Very little room for error. It probably didn't help that I hadn't used a Charger for what felt like 4-5 days or that I have very little experience with rabbits. Heh. Burst Bombs are usually my answer, but I didn't have those today. =P
Nah, I'm not implying that your Charger skills are shadowed by your Blaster skills. They're about even IMO. Which is occasionally scary, but that's another story.
I'm allowing you too close to me, which is never good. Gotta work on that. There are a few things I want to try vs you as a Blaster, so don't switch your weaponry around too much. =D
How is my bomb pressure vs you in your opinion? I'm genuinely curious, and that question goes for anyone else who wants to answer. It seemed subpar tonight IMO.
Going back to funny moments, I thought it was funny and interesting that Red superjumped away when I was trapping him behind that tall wall with the billboard at the top at Walleye. He could have just went around and smacked me, but I guess he had other ideas.

Dear all Splatoon players: Stop using Echolocator all the time, I want to actually use the Amiibo clothes I paid money to unlock rather than this ugly Cold-Blooded shirt. Cheers.
It felt a bit off today, normally you would toss a bomb under my feet if I got close but today was a bit too far from me. If you had burst bombs, I probably wouldn't have chose to get close to you with your attention on me.
lol. I'm law of averaging my way through A-.
My advice is to use weapons with an inkzooker special. Or really get well at flanking.
I'm actually surprised at how decent I am at Splatoon because I seriously cannot hit anything for shit.
On most maps it takes longer to flank a sniper than it does for them to respawn and set up again <.<
So when the game decides to put both the Elitres on one team you're basically SoL?
I try to juke but against most teams there's not enough space to maneuver
snipers are bad at playing from behind. you are being overly simplistic.
So for example if an Elitre is sitting on the ledge to the left of the base on Urchin Underpass. They're able to shut down the entire main approach from there and their team can cover the side. To kill them you have to some how get past them, go through the grate, up and around the ramp then across to where they are without being noticed and killed by them or their team. Then you kill them, at which point you've just spent 20-30 seconds eliminating a threat that will be back in that spot in 10.
There might be something I'm not seeing, but if there is it's really not obvious
Use the Jet Squelcher?
yes. but that is a simplistic analysis. Its not just you vs the sniper. by eliminating the sniper you give your team time to push territory which makes the snipers perch less safe by the time he comes back. Regardless Urchin Underpass is a bad example since its one of the least balanced maps in the game. The only reason hes safe on his perch is because his team is keeping your team occupied in the chokes. There is no way an eliter can snipe from the balcony when the zone is taken by the enemy. Also your time estimates are way overexxagerated. It does not take 20-30 seconds to do a flank.
On most maps you defeat the team with more snipers by having more paint along all possible flank paths. Also snipers are supposed to kill other snipers.

My NNID: LordAhmad, feel free to add me (mention GAF in the invite please). Looking forward to play with GAF members. I have added my details in the google doc file too.
Nice, I'm glad you found this thread (I saw your post on the other thread just now). There's a Google document on the 6th post of this thread, quote the post to reveal the spreadsheet and be sure to add your name on the list. As for adding certain people, you may want to add active posters on this thread and try to get into a gaf room from there. Unfortunately my friends list is full, but I can try to make room if you add me. My NNID is roger1991.
This map is very unforgiving once the chargers are settled in. For the situation you described, it's not an easy task. This is one of the main reasons why I run ninja squid although you can live without it if you're good enough at moving at the speed in which you don't create ripples. What you want to do is find cover from the charger and spray ink towards the next area that's out of line of sight of him. Instead of going right from your base, go left and make your way near center. If you hug the wall and shoot out ink in the opposite direction of where you're going, you can trick the sniper into trying to cover the ground of the misdirected path while you slowly advance towards him. Once you're underneath him, it should be easy to take him out.
It's really hard to approach chargers when they're watching your movements. The best bet is always find cover, ink a path to the next cover and some misdirected shots to another direction, and slowly make your way towards him. Either that or pick up a charger and see what gives you the most trouble and then use that knowledge to your disposal.

I have already did it. I will add you, but no pressure, if you can't make a room for me, don't worry
thanks anyway.Punished_Snake

There is a S+ rank? I thought A+ is the highest. I have reached B- yesterday and sometimes when you join the wrong team, you keep losing more than winning. Anyway, I really love this game, innovative and always fun to play.

Nice, I have watched the trailer for the August update, but I didn't know about the S and S+ rank.
