When you realize that you were the one that messed up and turned the tide for the other team? Yes, very.
Yeah I saw one person, turned out to be 3, my whole team was dead in the last 10 seconds because of that and we had the game pretty much locked.
That last match on saltspray was pretty laggy for me
This happened to me yesterday, kind of. On blackbelly skatepark, the half of the middle part that I was on was all inked up in my color so I went over to the other side because I saw one of my teammates shooting and thought I should help. Roller out of nowhere, splatted both of us at the same time, and then I see my other two teammates had been splatted a few seconds prior. They cover about 70% of the map and by the time we all respawn and make it back to their ink the match is over

So i gave the .96 a try for the first time. Damn, this gun is good and so powerful.
2 hit kills and a nice range to boot add in ink saver main as an ability and you got yourself a killing machine.

I think I need more damage up for the E-liter. Wasn't getting partially charged shots I thought I would get.
Whenever I score higher than my teammates with the E-liter, it feels like I'm doing something wrong lol.

I had this really close Tower Control game on Port where the enemy team got to 3 in the last ten seconds, but we managed to hold them back then take control of the tower. Then it went to overtime and we just some how managed to hold them all off and won the game. My sister was watching and she had her mouth open in amazement. I couldn't believe that happened.

I only do it if I take out someone who did it to me previously, same as with taunting in Smash. The only time I've done it unprovoked was when I took out three guys simultaneously with the killer wail
You can tell this game is selling big in Japan when I'm still regularly finding level 1-10 in the matches, all Japanese more than month after launch.
That match on saltspray just pissed me off damn Japanese laggers, somehow they can charge a shot and throw a burst bomb at the same time, then I chase him down he's in front of me and I know exactly where he is because my teammate used echolocater then somehow he's behind me. Next he is in squid form hiding in his ink, comes out and one shits me with the charger without charging.
Edit: Doc please tell me no lag was involved when I jumped over your kraken lol

Same thing for tower. How am I getting 18 splats and we still lose?
You have any tips for a Novice Charger player - been playing in Turf War, but A+ lobbies I fail to make an impact.
I've been mainly learning how to snipe but I feel like I'm missing too many shots at this point. And I'm unable to control areas like I should.
Well, that one feat does deserve a bit of squidbagging.
To be honest, I only did it because it was my 1st/2nd match with the squiffer, the guy had killed me once before and had started to see me as easy prey - though I only died that once during the whole match.
I don't plan on making an habit out of it though, I feel kinda bad for him.

Haha I rank up all 3 in GAF matches all the time. The only time I wear maxed out clothes is in ranked.
I'm not really sure what tips I could give. You'll get the hang of it with practice. I'm much more comfortable with the scoped chargers than the ones without it. Maybe you can try those? Though I think I started off with the ones without the scope.
I think what got me used to chargers was using them in Arowana Mall and Blackbelly Skatepark. On Arowana Mall, I would just go to one of the sniper perches and just try to control the middle and pick people off. For Blackbelly Skatepark, I first tried to control the right-most area. Then as I got more comfortable with chargers, I would go on the tower in the middle and try to splat as many people as possible.
Also, play in GAF rooms for Turf War. I think that really helps.
What charger you using? I'm A+ and pretty much exclusively only use Kelp Splatterscope
This was all I could find:
http://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Ability
It has maximum boosts for some of them, and how much each one adds (for only some of them sadly). But it doesn't say which ones have reduced effects when stacking or how much it is reduced.
I think you can put on quite a few and still get effects.
The Custom E-liter, got two ink saver mains for hat and shirt.
I use Kraken to mainly get that one guy who got into my face and than run away like a little girl. It's mainly the fact that I'm not aiming well enough and miss a fair few shots. On the other hand I enjoy the E-liter range.
Are you using the gyro?
That isn't hard difficulty, lol scrub
I'm still salty from losing my shot at my win streak winnings, sue me. Plus I had to switch to normal out of Expert so I wouldn't fuck up the streak for the image.

What's everyone's favorite Gamepad game?
Mine is the squid volleyball by far. Gets damn tough in later stages. My max so far is Stage 27.

Lol I only played 2 rounds to level up equipment. That's why I don't play with randoms, first round went 18-0 next round 10-0 .
Thanks Crisium
Yeah I saw your 18-0 and my cousin was 0-3 with like 300p.
I wouldn't know cuz I never opened up the amiibo yet, I'll get around to it one of these days

Hit the attack button THEN hit the jump button. It should boost the range you splash noticeably
This video I found linked on squidboards should be fairly comprehensive coverage of most stat questions :3

Also max values are on the 2nd post in this squidboards thread (though the ink resistance values have changed since the patch): http://squidboards.com/threads/detailed-information-on-skills-splatoon-book-guide-scans.2011/
He should try a different weapon like the junior with bubbler or the aerospray so he get more points and feel like he is doing better, jet squelcher isn't the easiest to use.
Squid Race is my favorite, with Sound test next. Volleyball is chill, but I get bored of it quick, like an obtuse angry birds.

So pissed I can't get these other games without the fucking amiibo. This is the only time I feel legit screwed by the amiibo situation.

I like Squid Race too, but sound test is kinda meh to me. I like the music but I'd rather have it on Spotify or something. I can't get into the "game" that goes with it.
