Well, you can hear the special activation sound and see if their hair is aflame and if they're using one of the seven or so inkzooker weapons, but still

It's a great weapon.
Scope is best anyway
Also, after testing and confirming with other people I see no movespeed difference while charging either the Splatterscope or normal non scoped charger.
If there is any difference between normal splat charger and scoped then it's negligible. Scope is a straightup upgrade
Nah breh. It's time for the Inkbrush Noveau and Camp Motherfucking Triggerfish.
Edit: I'm gonna be so sad if Triggerfish is a meh map. Love its look so much.

I'm curious to see how the octobrush feels. Also the other carbon roller setup looks way more my style than the current one :3
Yeah that's exactly it. Actually I've never really used it outside of Turf Wars. Next time there's Splat Zones I'll definitely try it out. I'm still determined to get gud with this weapon.
Also Padwarrior can you wear that shirt next time you're on? I do want to order it and try it out
It's Splatomatic for Turf Wars for me. The gun itself and the suction bomb specials are just a great way to cover as much area as possible. Suction special as well is a good thing to end on, as you can have multiple bombs going of after time is called. I can also score really highly with my Dynamo on most maps, but then I might have to actually pay attention.
I used the scope charger for a while. Until basically every other charger I was coming across was an E-liter, that could out range and destroy me. I only play charger on Tower Control, as it's the one way I can use it effectively and have fun on a mode I otherwise loathe, but I always use E-liter now.

Seems to me like Moray Towers would be the next one to come out, rather than Camp Triggerfish. It did just get the spotlight at the end of last week's livestream, after all, and they talked about it coming out soon.
Last week was about the reveal of Tower Control, and the first western Splatfests. I'd imagine both a new weapon (at least one) and the Towers to drop this week at some point.

The developers had no idea what they unleashed upon the world.

Start playing more offensively and you'll have less issues against e-liters.

Sounds like people are getting better with bombs. Time to try and step up my game, right? =P
All I know is that I want some goddamned short dreads like yesterday.

Custom e liter scope sounds dangerously awesome and carbon roller with seeker brings a whole new meaning To Base storming
Not really, I agree with him in that sense. It's like if TF2 launched with all those wierd hairstyle wigs.
They should patch in a hairdresser. Well, a tentacle-arranger, I guess.
For some reason, I find myself walking into bombs and mines. Maybe something draws me to them....
eyy.

It has got to be the hypnotic sound they make. Splat Bombs have that pitch buildup and mines just make that "do-do" sound that makes you go "huh?" right before you get splatted.
I actually had a Splatfest teammate block me from escaping a Splat Bomb. Needless to say, I got mad when I got splatted from it and he didn't. Then there are the Suction Bombs. Their OHKO range is incredibly deceptive. =/
I've used bombs so much that I hardly have any practice with the other subs. Same thing for the specials. I tried using the Custom Blaster during Splatfest, but there were times where it would've been nice to know how to panic Bubble. =P I did get several 1x/y games, but still.
E-Liter?

Do you guys ever feel bad when you destroy a team with level 10 below?
Sometimes. Not during splatfest though
Played Bluefin Depot splat zones for the first time today and I'm really mixed about it. On one hand, the whole asymmetric zone thing is cool, and having lots of room to flank is great. Plus I love the obstruction in the center of the zone, it allows me to do a lot of fake outs and catch people off guard.
On the other hand, the zone is really fucking hard to capture. You'd think you can just approach from the side, but because both teams can get to the side just as easily the defending team can just have a guy camp there making it near impossible to approach unless you outrange the camper. If a sniper is at the side and they cap, that's pretty much game over unless your team has a sniper. Obviously it's not impossible to take it back, but it's bad enough that in my experience, every single time a team has capped they were able to keep it for 40 seconds, minimum.
It's a shame this map doesn't have 2 zones, because that would have probably fixed most of the issues here.
They wanted the inklings to have an iconic, easily recognizable design, so they didn't allow players to alter the character design too much. Makes sense to me.

Some people just don't get it, they keep covering the areas around my sprinkler got damnit. The fuckers probably want to get their special charged but it ruins my stats!
Also at some point you will run out of space to ink and in the end be forced into duels, that's when the .96 shines. Get the kill, and ink over their turf.
This is how I thought for a while, but I've really come around on how it is. A two-zone map doesn't have enough zone entrances imho, but the way it is now allows in my opinion for more interesting strategies.

Looks like Inkling amiibos will get new supply on July 9 in Japan, squid amiibo in later July.

lol, yeah. I giggled at that :3
I'm kinda surprised how often Derrick stands stock still or doesn't notice people approaching, but people's general lack of situational awareness has never been something I've ever been able to get used to
That's not really a knock on derrick as I've seen a good number of players who do similar, it just seems to be something I forget people do fairly often.
GameXplain is weird and I don't know why I watch them precisely (hi guys!). I guess I'm just a media consumer :<
btw, did you know
the cane in question... is an old-style bamboo squirtgun

Yes. You see them all over in Walmart and stuff when summer rolls around cuz they are like the simplest water gun in the world. Just a water piston.
The dataminers also found something mighty interesting...
There's a modern version of it called the Bamboozler that will be released eventually: http://i.imgur.com/tIqb5xV.jpg

Which Charger?
I want to have one shooter and one charger to compliment my roller (Brush) and I've been cycling through a lot to get there. Currently, I'm thinking:
Shooter: Splat-o-Matic/.52 Gal Deco
Roller: Inkbrush/Inkbrush Noveau
Charger: Splatterscope
I generally run all forms of mid-rangers (I'm partial to the Tentatek but I can enjoy the Dual Squelcher or Jet Squelcher, I'm less skilled at the various .Gals but I'm okay with them), the entire Short-Range family though I've begun to find I prefer the min range of the Tentatek over, usually the Space Blaster, and usually either the Inkbrush, Carbon Roller or Squid Roller. Everything else I'll try except chargers - the playstyle is just too foreign to me and my twitch aim isn't good enough to compete.
I'm curious (and this goes out to all of ChargerGAF), what should I build my gear for when using chargers?

Most people go for attack ups on their gear as the more you stack the less time you have to charge your charger.
