I love using this just to see the numbers on these things.

If I put 3 Ink Saver Main, it shows -230 % lol

 

[Sendou]

That's to be expected with the weapon you're using.

 

[RedFyn]

Zing, either you have great luck or mine is awful because I've played with tons of bad A+ players.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Thought I'd spread some propaganda for the superior team on Miiverse.

 

[Ozium]

I need to paint to get my splatfest shirt upgraded

and I can usually kill ppl w/ it

srsly

You're overestimating the amount of people using the exploit. There have always been and always will be people in the wrong rank due to how the ranking system works. As for people leaving, how in the world would you know if they're cheating or not? People leave for all sorts of legitimate reasons.

Pretty much everyone I have played against and with at A+ were roughly the same skill level. Not once have I thought, "this person has no business here".

I have to assume that anyone wasting time to save/load is low skilled and it would take them eons to rank up, as they would consistently lose. I doubt anyone in A or A+ rank is doing such a thing. By the time you get there, you realize that playing with people your skill level is what generates enjoyment, not the letter next to your name.

Fair enough but it's been a couple of weeks since I last played ranked and I don't remember things being this bad. The losers would usually clear out to find better matchups but I'm not used to hitting continue and seeing just me and another player sitting alone in the lobby for a few minutes until it refills or times out.

Maybe the matchmaking servers are unusually bad this afternoon and I'm just having bad luck with lobbies. I do hope that Nintendo can come up with some way to detect cheaters and not penalize you when someone rage quits because it's really frustrating after a string of losses to lose a match that you're dominating because the lobby mysteriously crashes right before the end

 

[Totakeke]

Well I'm talking about getting a 3x sub, not main. That's about the equivalent of one main though right?

If the main isn't worth it then neither the sub is worth it.

 

[Regiruler]

I saw a fake contacts with 3 special up subs and I was like "weird they gave it a brand with an affinity to something it already has, but ok".

Now I'm in my plaza a day later, doing some browsing, and now I realize tentakek's affinity is recovery up.

I witnessed an RNG legend and didn't realize it.

 

[Ozium]

there's a brush with a shield now?

fuck.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

I can't do shit in GAF rooms with the Elitre. Back to my other weapon, haha.

 

[RedFyn]

Its possible that theyre all cheating but you really just have to assume that they aren't because there isn't any way to know. Sure you can think everyone around you is cheating but it just sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.

Even when I win in ranked I normally leave. The teams don't stay the same consistently so I don't care much about trying to stick with a good team. They usually end up on the other team.

 

[Geg]

If the main isn't worth it then neither the sub is worth it.

I'm still not totally sure if you're saying it's worth having it as a dual squelcher or not lol. After looking some stuff up it looks like run speed up doesn't actually affect the speed you walk while shooting? If that's true then yeah it wouldn't be worth it I think

 

[CoconutTank]

I hit sendou 3 times with a 96 deco but he lived lol

 

[Ozium]

pls nerf bubbler

giving it to teammates is bunk

Run speed up affects the speed when shooting, but lighter weapons like splatter shot jr or aerospray will get much more noticeable difference.

It does. We're evaluating if a ability is worth it for a specific weapon or not. You're interested in whether it's worth it to get the sub ability for a weapon. Instead of trying to get the sub abilities, substitute it for the main ability when you test it in the test range, hence, you can now simulate what is it like to have the sub ability. Personally I don't believe run speed up is worth it, main or sub, for a dual squelcher, but why listen to me when you can test it out yourself?

 

[Jeff Vader]

You're saving so much ink it imploded upon itself.

 

[BlueSilver]

Oh of course.



Negligible. You can try it out in the test range, just equip 3x main run speed up and see if you think the difference is worth it.

Sorry, I was just stating the worst case scenario.

I'm mostly annoyed by how long it's taking to get into a match. Like I said I haven't played in a while so maybe behavior has changed and everyone just resets now and I assumed wrongly that it means they're using the exploit. I did like it better before where the lobby stayed somewhat consistent and you could get a feel for the other players strength/weaknesses. I'm not really not that great in Splatzones at all so it would be good to get a good team and stay there so I can get some money for Spike LOL

 

[Sendou]

Hope you enjoyed that last splat Ozium. It had about 3 frames accuracy window.

I think that's just how it is. Everyone leaves the lobby after a match. And I think it's mostly because of how long it takes to get started again. If you just leave and rejoin, you'll get back into matches faster.

 

[Jeff Vader]

.

I know you're talking to Geg but I never considered doing that to test these things out. Helpful tip is helpful!

 

[Ozium]

which one? one time I saw I killed you and I was off doing something.. must have been a mine lol

edit: inkbrush with bubbler is too damn ridiculous...

 

[OryoN]

Getting demolished in depot

That just makes the problem worse.

How the fuck do you people do anything with the brush.

Yeah, I see that now. It wasn't like that around launch but I guess back then people weren't leaving as often when they lost. I think I'm done with the zones for now though. I can't deal with Port Mackerel, it's way too frustrating to go back and forth trying to figure out why the other zone keeps getting lost :/

 

[Sendou]

Bluefin Depot. You were on a upper platform launching an Ink Strike. Took me a few seconds to line up the shot.

 

[Ozium]

maybe some people just leave because they lost and think their team sucks?

edit: sendou oh.. yeah I was like damn :/

 

[CoconutTank]

Mmmm inkzooka at point blank range :3

 

[Africanus]

All of the little children in my plaza are picking team marshmallow.

All according to plan.

I'm a grown ass man and picked marshmallows.

Respek.

 

[Sendou]

That's a nice spot when playing against a team without chargers.

 

[Azure J]

That just makes the problem worse.

How the fuck do you people do anything with the brush.

A lot of trial and error until we come out the other side victorious.

 

[Geg]

I'm totally expecting marshmallow to win the popularity count, but then again I was wrong about the popularity predictions for both of the previous splatfests so who knows

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Argh falling off edges

Why do I still do that

 

[Ozium]

I let my team down because I just kept trying to kill you out of spite and kept getting rekt

 

[Sendou]

It's okay if you remember to say "Nice!" afterwards.

 

[Saint Gregory]

edit: sendou oh.. yeah I was like damn :/

So I'm clearing out the lobbies? It all makes sense now

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Lol, I'll remember that.

 

[CoconutTank]

Oh are you in the game with sendou and da boss right now?

 

[Ozium]

cash dome..

please.

 

[Crayolan]

The secret is no one knows how to deal with the brush.

Yes, indeed. I'm Quartz.

 

[Sendou]

Shoot it until it stops moving.

Alternatively wait until they have to retire early due to severe hand cramps.

 

[PreyingShark]

I didn't DC, for the record. I turned off my Wii U mid-match like a mature gentleman.

 

[CoconutTank]

Yes, indeed. I'm Quartz.

Ah! Hello, I'm Tingly

Alternatively, shoot it off of a ledge if it has a bubbler.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Ah! Hello, I'm Tingly

Nice to meet you!

 

[Sendou]

Alternatively, shoot it off of a ledge if it has a bubbler.

Alternatively punch a hole in your Wii U when it bubbles after you hear the "click" sound.
