I think I somehow stumbled into a GAF room somehow. I see a JahraGAF person. I'm Rudeboy.
What'd make an optimal team for Turf Wars for me:
- An annoying brush, not especially looking for kills but going behind the enemy lines making a mess as much as possible.
- An actual charger who has a laser that doesn't show south when he's pointing at your head while squidbagging and shot charged like a crazy.
- A splattershot jr./ blaster user who's a master at bunny hoping.
- A squelcher putting beakons at strategic points.
There's surely a lot of great combination, but I'd say this one would be hard to counter.

In game name is Exentryk.
Yep, the matchmaking is definitely working. After a bunch of wins against randoms yesterday, today the game puts me with some insane A+ Japanese players, some of which had similar names so it was clear there was some kind of clan/squad stuff going on. After winning like 3 games over the course of an hour, after the map change I'm paired with mostly C+ ~ B players and win every game

Well, what would constitute a perfect team would depend on the map, I would take a different team into the warehouse than in the skatepark. It's about making a team that can win the map, not a team that could potentially win all maps.
For say the warehouse I would probably take these three with me (I always play splattershot)
- A charger
- A "shooter" doesn't really matter which one
- A zap with echo-locator
At the start everyone charges forward to try and take the middle. If we succeed put the charger in the middle while two of the charger shark the left and right side, keeping an eye on both the middle and the side-paths enemies can go through. The zapper then pulls back and proceeds to paint base, while filling up his echo-locator. I'd call this strategy a bit of a glass canon, since it would be hard to recover might we lose center. I'd figure the enemy would catch on too and try to force through us using specials. I'd probably pick this team in maps where there is one area that's so detrimental to victory, like the middle of warehouse or the big area in the rig.
Then in maps where the important area is bigger and way harder to keep I'd probably take a good roller with me and maybe even two chargers.

One time in a GAF room on Port, during the judging I was like, "Wow, this looks close!"So no one that would ink their own turf. Sounds about right.
Then I noticed that the entire lefthand path wasn't inked...

Man, every session I start I play like crap for a while until I warm up. Doesn't help that I feel like I don't fully understand Triggerfish.

Yup. The worst part is I have no idea where the skill decline came from.

Who all from here is playing with me right now? I know St Gregory is. I'm Quartz, for those unaware.

Random rooms are the same but it feels like everyone in the high level rooms have gotten much better so fast
We almost have the same speed, sorry but it won't make your games more stable, I hope for a better internet service in a couple months though, no one is safe from ctu- I mean communication errors, no. one.

Is Emil on GAF? I feel like I've seen him before.
OK, knew I wasn't going (more) crazy >.>
Yes he is, I think his name is mellowmarsh or something close to that.

God damnit SM239, I was too focused on killing you the entire match lol

Any tips for things I can do to make ranking up easier? I'm getting sick to death of B rank, it's some kind of twisted torture method. In 3 hours I managed to stay literally the same as when I started (B 60) because of the game feeling the need to always match all the chargers and splat bomb spammers on the other team.

That's what I said, but I'm having fun. Well, not right this moment, because currently I feel like it couldn't bit a barn.Man, you all get way more in depth with the game than I do. I think I'm scared to play with any of you.
Same with any competitive game really. The people who are good at this point are better learners. Professional esports players are known to be able to switch games and rise to top level play in a relatively short amount of timeRandom rooms are the same but it feels like everyone in the high level rooms have gotten much better so fast

Maybe he was making a rallying speech, but all you hear are the C'mons.
I can't find that one Miiverse post I was trying to reference. =(
Just had a hilarious match on Ranked. This one Custom Blaster user had their bubbler out and headed to the left (the inside part) of the zone in Bluefin. I then stood on the box outside of the zone and just pushed him off with my weapon. This happened 4 times in a single match. I was laughing so hard.
Yeah my aim was bad but yours was worse.
Just stand still and let me shoot you like a normal person

Fucking hell, I can't hit anything today.
I'm going to disappear for a bit; back in a few minutes.
