Oh. That's a challenge then.
It's currently my go-to weapon for Turf War, used it throughout the entire Splatfest too.
Funny enough, I had my letter O of ROCK being a Pentagram inside a circle in my Rock Miiverse post. Didn't see it displayed anywhere though lol
More to do with 2112, one of the best rock albums ever released having a 5 pointed star inside a circle on the front cover as a symbol of the Priests of Syrinx rather than it having any Satanic links. I just joined up the hexagon shape in the middle for a bit of a giggle lmfao.
If you've never heard Rush before and you like Rock or Progressive Rock music you'll be completely blown away. And once you realise that the titular song of the album (and all of their entire discography) can be played live by those same three band members pretty much perfectly. You seriously won't believe your ears.
All The World's A Stage is arguably the best live album they've ever done and one of the best ever Rock live albums ever released too so check that out if you like 2112.
Geddy Lee, the bassist and singer also sings, plays mental bass lines and the keyboards with his feet at the same time, which is mainly how they're able to play this stuff live with three musicians. It's bloomin mental lol
Aw man, my team lost. ;_;
I had fun buuuut I don't really understand Splatfests in the voting and the matches.

I hate port so much
You won't be disappointed as long as you stick to the earlier stuff. They went right downhill in the mid-80s when they went WAAAAAY too commercial and went from Rocky to Poppy, too many keyboards.
Rush
2112
All The World's A Stage
A Farewell To Kings
Hemispheres
Caress Of Steel
Fly By Night
Exit Stage Left
Best albums they've done imo.

LOL... doesn't change the fact that I hate port
There it is
Lmao Team Pop sucks.
I redid the joke to be more historically accurate:

You should save this joke for a when a less popular team wins.
But we just had regional mode, and it was more laggy than ever.
Stage rotation is every 4 hours. There shouldn't be another one for 1 hour 33 minutes.

Ugh don't remind me, that was painful to experience.

Cool! always glad to see someone having fun in the game
Roller isn't really a head-on weapon. You get most kills by either ambushing from the ink, leap attacks from above or out-manoeuvring someone. On the normal roller half my kills come from going a small distance behind the enemy line then just rolling over their colour back towards our base until I inevitably end up running over whoever was putting the paint down,often with a friend or two as an added bonus XD
On Carbon it's pure back-stabbery and ambushing but the increased rolling speed makes it easier to get into key places for it. I often wipe out half the team on underpass at the start by waiting by the side of their entrance ramp until they stick their heads out and splashing them with death :3
Do you actually use the scope?

Finally got trips for something! Could be better. The contacts are pretty good too imo.

Error 101-0502... is it just me?
And I think that this is the crux of why all the Cat people are upset.
The way Splatfest unfolded went like this: From roughly 3:00 am to 3:00 pm, the Dog teams were obliterating Cat teams. It was incredibly lopsided. I'm not going to point fingers, but someone got upset about this fact (a Splatfest judge, I heard, who was partial to the Cats). Judd--err--this JUDGE, rigged it so that all the Dog players would experience lag, but the Cat players wouldn't.
But it didn't help. The Dog team (which was confirmed to be the "good guys" on every results screen) still prevailed, and all those lying, cheating Cat players are upset.
Get over it, guys and gals. Cheaters never win.

Getting destroyed on these current tower control levels. I might need to change my gear, having trouble getting into a impact as a splatshoot jr. player in the higher ranks (on these levels at least).
I'm seeing a lot of players using squid beacons as defense mechanisms on the tower. Pretty smart.

Huh, I thought it was every 2.
It should be every 2 since there're more stages now.
Damn man, no matter how much I try I can never click with the Splattershot Pro. I'm trying to get accustomed to the rate of fire with how much it shoots but it's just not cutting it =/
I'll try it again in a couple weeks and maybe have more gear to build around that weapon. I know it's a great gun but idk how to be successful with it.
Jumping back in.

I find the basic Splat Roller works really, really well for Tower Control. One-shots from flinging ink; suction bombs; Killer Wail can be used both offensively and defensively.
RANK UP B+ BITCHES
Two games on Saltspray Rig, one was over in less than a minute, I just rode on the tower and barely encountered any enemies, the second lasted around 4 minutes, the highlight was me taking out a bunch of people aiming at the tower in quick succession and getting two simultaneous booyahs from the guys on the tower.
Thanks to Skies for the idea to use beakons as a defensive wall on the tower, I'm not sure if it worked or not but I tried it out anyway

I don't
But now you should be easy to triangulate should the need arise

Saltspray rig just continues to be my favorite all around level, even if ranked modes continue to ignore the awesome spot way off to the side - so many ways to get around and plan your move.
You shoot when it zooms in. It is so satisfying to use.

Yeah a lot of players are using that at A+. I thought it was odd, but that makes sense now that you listed the sub weapons. But I was talking more of a change in wear than weapon, though I am considering getting my roller up to par specifically for tower control. I have had success with the Jr. in tower control, it's just that levels provide for a particular challenge because they tend favor distance players.
Yeah, that's what most people do I think, most of the times the scope itself isn't really used. The zoom in effect has some weird properties, maybe.
At that point it seems like someone is trolling.
Yeah, pretty sure they were.

So for you top meta players the goal with gear is to have 3 of the same second ability either on the same piece of clothing or across all 3 to get the equivialent of a main slot boost right?
I ask because my jungle hat I got super lucky and naturally got 3 sub weapon savers and wanted to make sure that keeping that set up was ideal.
Anything else I need to know about clothing/skills?
