Thanks for that. Now I've got no incentive to get there.

I didn't know rollers could move that fast.

Are you playing against Red?
All I'll say is that the all A+ room I got stuck in as a B+ was some of the most fun I've ever had on ranked.

You're playing against GAF's Great White Shark. Have fun trying to harpoon him. =P

He's not that bad once you learn his plays. =P
That said, I don't have much experience with his Roller at Bluefin.

Taking out your frustration by smacking squidkids around? I had to do that yesterday. Blew up randoms just because. Barely sniped unless Jeff tried to get in my face with an E-Liter. Even then, I barely tried sniping him.

Well that hilarious bloodbath was probably a good place to end for the night. Sorry you got stuck with three randoms against four Gaffers, robotguy. Good games, everyone.

We should have an all bucket room where everyone is using the thing for the first time. Because it would be amusing.
Well, I think the main difference is mostly in the weaker players: a B+ weak player is much, much worse than a weak A+ player but the difference between a good A+ player and a good B+ player is not that much. Everyone in between is almost the same. The only exception to this I can think of are A+ chargers, in B+ you can find chargers who have no clue what they´re doing, but A+ chargers are truly scary; they move around more so it´s more difficult to evade or surprise them, they use their subs more and better and they almost never miss a shot.

I thank you for your consideration
I think its more accurate to say that B+ players are more inconsistant than A+ players on average. So its not a weak B+, but a B+ player having bad mojo. Azure J,on the otherhand, was, is, and will always be godly.

That's because I was too busy bombing everyone.
Splatoon |OT4| Yee Yesshh, Weebee Squueeee
I don't know why I didn't reroll for Damage Up earlier for my gear. I honestly feel unstoppable with my Krakon Roller with the Damage ++ I have for my gear plus my Defense ++. I'm dominating even Carbon Rollers at their range.
And Lol @ people saying the Kraken should be nerfed in the 2.0 Gaming Side thread. It was already nerfed already and if you're using the Kraken to mainly get kills you're doing it wrong. Get the kills if they're right in front of you but I'd rather use it to get to a specific point on the map.
That IGN video with matchmaking has me hyped. SM239, GuySloth, AzureJ, Totakeke, BlueSilver, Ryechu, Blakstatus and all of SplatoonGAF potentially playing on the same against another group of randoms? They're going to lose.
The interesting matches will be in house.

Was watching a slosher video. It seems that the weapon has been changed substantially compared to the alpha one the wep file parameters indicate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mqliMPZ69w
In the testing room, you can clearly see the volume of the ink is concentrated along the main arc of the paint. When he shoots it forward it almost leaves like blaster imprint with a thinner trail of paint leading to a rounded splash near the tip. It seems that this main splash does 70, while hitting with the minor splash (the lagging fall-down paint analogous to the nodmg dropped trails of chargers and mini-bullets of shooters) does 40. Since the main splash travels in a parabolic arc, you can potentially aim far or high angle and still hit with the 70 dmg. In other words the dmg does not scale down based on range (unlike rollers) or flight time(shooters). Also, when you kill an enemy the ink ball continues to travel so it splashes a good amount behind them if you kill them point blank, meaning you can just swim right after a kill. A heavy investment in dmg up (3 mains, 2 subs) could make the indirect splash a 2hko, which could be good dealing with multiple enemies in a line. You could aim above all their heads, and opt out of only hitting one with teh direct dmg, and instead hit them all with the falling dmg, like a ghetto inkzooka. We gunbound boys.
Edit: Or since the splash continues on if it kills, you can lob a shot over their heads with no dmg up and do 40 dmg to everyone, and then shoot a direct splash at the first guy and itll bulldoze through all the enemies since each one would be below 70 hp. Weapon seems deeper than I first imagined.

There are some people whose combination of play style, weapon choice, ability/lack of ability, lag and luck mean that I will gladly sacrifice a match now and then just to hunt them down and squidhump their splatted remains.
I don't know why I'm doing all this latenight analyses, but after looking at the renders for the gatling and the slosher, I figured out that there are weapon brands. There are currently several weapon companies in the game, and all of the weapon designs follow the signature design of their manifacturing company. The names are all in the inkling language but I'm going to give them names that make sense
Splat- The ubiquitous starting weapon set. Its aesthetic is light green, dark green and red, toy-like weapon designs. Examples include the splattershot, splat charger, splat roller, splattershot pro and jr, inkzooka, splash wall, inkstrike, splat bombs. You can see the company name in inklish in the corner. The alternate sets of these weapons are made in collaboration with clothing brands we know and love.
Deco- This brand's weapons have the deco moniker for their alternate sets. This also is the brand that makes the two new classes. The aesthetic is black, with carbon fiber or otherwise high quality plastic in bright accent colors, giving it a slick, state-of-the-art look. Examples include the Heavy splatling, slosher, carbon roller, .52 gal, .96 gal, rapid blaster, seeker
Dolphin (Hard to name, the nozzlenoses are called L3 nozzlenose D and have the brand logo, a dolphin, on them)- Household, water based appliances. Examples include the sprinkler, squiffer and nozzlenoses.
Custom- Aesthetic: metal. Theme: Power. Examples include the squelchers (power tools), ,E liter (gas pump), killer wail (speakers), blaster (A grill or a stove), Suction bomb (called cubane bomb in japan, after a chemical fuel).
Neo- Futuristic
Nouvaeu- Art
Cuttlegear- Hero weapons - Aesthetic is based on the firefly squid
Ammoknights- Theme=meme, The "non-detrimental" weapons and "Why does this roller outrange a squelcher." Aesthetic- Sheldon likes his stainless steel and the extent of his above average intelligence is spray painting it golden.
Nintendo made the nzaps. And the bamboozer is a 100 year old weapon. Its alternate style has the squid beak splatoons logo!
They put a lot of work into the design of the game. Whats your favorite weapon company?

Awesome post. It´s details like these that show how much love got put into the game. Splatoon´s maps remind of MK8 tracks in that sense: every track in MK8 is brimmed with little cool details and Splatoon´s maps don´t fall behind, you can play the same map for the 200th time and discover something new if you look with care.

I never even realized there were unnamed weapon brands along with the clothing brands. Now I want them to get official names. I like the look of the "futuristic" ("Neo") ones and the Deco ones.
Good post, ryechu.

SO FRESH! Congrats, that round you brought in the Splatterscope was a great watch, I missed the A+ event but I'm sure I'll see it in your highlights.
Nice.
Someone should do a clothing brand analysis. On the top of my head, firefin is bape, zink is nike, tentatek is adidas, krakon converse, inkline is rei, forge is high quality, expensive shit.
besides that splash mob seems preppy, zekko, 90s retro, takoroka is like 00s suberbia, skalop does lids.
And squidforce, for being the fucking espn for the splatoon sport should have way more clothing options than one headband and zero shoes.
I disagree with his statement strongly. There is a large and noticeable gap in performance between B+ and A/A+. I have been A+ (admittedly dropped to high A currently) for a few weeks and I can immediately tell when I am playing with B's. The game is most fun for me when everyone is A+.

Grr, I've gotten to B+ 90 twice now and both times the matchmaking turned immediately against me. My pre-work rounds this morning ended like this:
- Matched against a team of A+
- Splat Zones / Walleye Warehouse
- Took the early lead, then lost control with 70 on the clock
- I had to spend most of my time on the enemy side of the zone because my teammates wouldn't approach
- Even when I wiped out all 4 enemies in a 5-second span (but was splatted in the process), my teammates failed to take control of the completely uncontested zone, preferring to ink the side areas instead
Upon losing to a knockout and seeing the match summary, my team's k/d looked like this: 14/7, 3/8, 2/10, 1/12
Ranked mode is such an exercise in frustration, but I'm determined to take my Octobrush to A+.
