They're great for long range shooters like yourself. Open and high areas. Not so good for rollers.

What maps do you like?
pretty much everything except mall really.
I really dislike mall. It's okay in tower control tho.

Thank the Great Zapfish. Now I might actually have a chance to be the best charger in the match.

I don't recall the names now, but that one with vehicles moving around. Basically areas where you aren't constantly being aimed at lol.

I don't get the Mall hate. It's great in all modes. The routes are interesting and varied, there are multiple places to ambush from the above but also the enemy side can be effectively infiltrated. It is also not very easy to hold territory - unlike in the Port Mackerel and Urchin Underpass.
it's probably because i use short-to-medium range weapons and snipers just fucking piss me off until I can get an inkzooker shot off. That middle section in particular is a real pain in the ass to navigate if they have one or two snipers covering the area and established ink dominance and you're stuck with a splooshomatic or god forbid a roller and your teammates haven't inked decent wallpaths for you beforehand.
Oh that's interesting because I find Port very Charger friendly map.
It's charger friendly but not from one perch - chargers can't cover all lanes at once from one position, which means you can juke between lanes with decent cover.

Sendou - That port map is great because of all the small spaces that one can use to hide from chargers.
Sorry had to make a call. Joining back.

How the fuck did we win that
I ate some bacon and eggs between map switch.

It would probably help in my encounters with Sendou if I would stop WALKING OFF LEDGES
When's the next one? 3PM?
Edit: probably too long to wait now that I'm thinking about bacon

Hah. I do that too (Mario kart 8).
Anyway, I just reached level 20. Lemme spend some cash and I'll join back. Also, you don't have Sendou added?
Either should be fine now. I'll accept after the next game.

It's really late here and I need to sleep. Thanks for the games, all. Let me know if you saw any severe mistakes I might be making.
...Other than walking off ledges.

I think you need to be more aggressive in some maps. In Mall for example there's so many better sniper perches than the one you kept holding. In addition I don't know about stacking Attack Up but especially on Splatcharger it's not necessarily the way to go about it.
Goddamnit James with that Stealth Jump.

Hahahaha, some random I was playing with sent me a friend request with the message "AMAZING!" I don't know whether to take it.
I could try playing more aggressively for a while, I suppose. I seem to die a lot when I try, though. :/

This is why no voice chat is a good thing....
Edit: also, no spaces for me...... would be nice if I could at least watch the match in progress.

i still do want someone to set up a vent for splatgaf teams tho

Go to Azure's stream and vent in the chat. =P
I'm assuming you sniped him way too many times.

I actually don't remember it being that many times. I do remember one impressive one where he tried to jump on my head with a roller and I sniped him before he landed on me.

Sounds like what I did to Red ( GAF's resident Great White Shark) at the Skatepark one time. =P

It's been a while since I played with GAF but I joined you y'all.
I try and build up my special before getting too head on if I can. Also, it seems there are a lot of folks that don't play the way you do

I feel the strategy of just running to the middle and then start coloring from there works better for shooters. The strat worked really well when Sendou and James were on my team. They did exactly that.
Rushing to the middle is what I do in every match. Whoever controls the middle controls the match in Turf Wars. It's not quite that clear in the Tower though. That's because the middle is actually a bit of poor place to be in considering lots of vantage point surrounding it from all directions.
