Still waiting for my nzap 89
I don't see the point. Is it just to have another bar to fill up?
Yes, i miss that little satisfaction.

You know what my dream is for the August update?
An online co-op story mode. They can even go crazy with it and let it be 4 player co-op lol. aka Gears of War 3 - Squid Edition
Even though I'm sure it's not going to happen

IIRC in the end we'll have 71 weapons according to the data mining, but we don't know if some of them will be included in the Aug update. Also there's text from Sheldon in Japanese, can only (bad) translate sub and special. Quoting myself from last OT:
Yeah, I was. I just started playing it last night, though so I'm just learning myself.Oh yeah we're you using the Custom Jet Squelcher?That's currently the weapon that I want to git gud with, though I admittedly have better performance with the Tentatek Splattershot :X Any tips for using the CJS?
Yeah I'll be honest, some of the splats showing up on my screen were fairly delayed during our games today. Usually if I splat with the Inkzooka, the game will notify immediately, but I was getting about half second delays, and ink was updating slowly. Sorry about any lag kills I got
The thing I like about CJS is that it has the longest range in the game other than chargers, but it also has good options to play close up if it comes to it. The problem with the Jet Squelchers is that while they're good for killing at a distance they are terrible if people manage to get close to you. So, like the other long range weapons you're going to want to try to control large areas and splat people before they get close enough to deal damage to you in return. In the case that people do manage to close in on you the CJS comes with burst bombs, which is a fantastic sub for close-ish/medium range combat. Unlike the other bombs they deal damage immediately, and you can throw several of them in rapid succession. They're great for splatting, or just buying enough time/ space to retreat to a safer distance. One of the things I messed up several times last night was shooting when I should have used burst bombs instead. Lastly, Kraken is a great last defense. For the most part I save it for when I'm truly screwed then activate when someone is practically right on top of me to take them out then try to take out anyone else that's nearby before retreating to a safe location. However, sometimes instead of using it as a defensive measure I try to bait people into getting close to me so I can activate and get an easy Kraken kill, or use it to close in on enemy chargers when I can get to them. I've been running a lot of inksaver with my jet squelcher builds because I can burn through a lot of ink pretty quickly sometimes. Hope that helps some.
I think they considered tower control the same as a map, in terms of release distance, so we should be getting one relatively soon like the weekend maybe
I'm expecting Towers to drop on Friday.
Hope they don't let me down.
Level is nothing but weapon unlocks. So, if you mean, "I hope they add more weapons", ok.

I hope they let me buy the single player missions DLC, because I can't find the damn Amiibo anywhwere!!

I swear every enemy rollers still hit me first even if we both swing at the same time, it makes me feel like my carbon roller are slow as dynamo ones.

Also, splatting people with a Splash Wall is the funniest thing. It's only happened twice with me, but it was always in nice situations.
I've always wanted to do this.

Sometimes people just suicide swimming under it. lol
I think really few people are using splash wall, I only see another splash wall every 10 matches.

Luckily there's only a couple of guys who are actually capable of doing this, but who knows if it ends up as easy as it was for the Wii.

Level cap was merely a tutorial giving you access to few new weapons at a time and to lock you out of ranked. It serves no other function so I don't see the point in increasing it.
Now S rank is something that needs to happen on the other hand. Not to sound like an arrogant bastard but I'm stuck at the max currently and would love the challenge of reaching S+ 99

It happened to me once in a tower control match. I was standing a little too close to the edge when a splash wall came up
Another time it hit me right as it was disappearing so my inkling kind of hopped over it while taking a little damage
Yeah, Splash wall is extremely rarely used.
I have done this more than once lol
Heard news about my beloved .96 gal...
...I'm ok with this. Gonna try this out tonight

The matchmaking is not based on your level but on your ability to paint the floor and how often you kill people. If you dominate people at your level and get a lot of kills, they'll match you against 20s who play similar to you.
Edit: it didn't occur to me that you might have meant balancing your teams. I don't know how much that matters since the next match will randomize the team.
Ding ding ding, exactly why I'm excited for it. The .52 gal with splash wall just doesn't cut it sometimes imo.
Just hope Tower Control is in rotation by 10pm tonight :X
I'd be really surprised if they didn't release a map this week. The delay of the splatfest probably messed up their original schedule.
they match based on play style, not your level
your level in turf wars isn't really an indicator of skill, it's an indicator of play time
edit: beaten ;p
They might even raise the level cap before then if enough people are stuck on 20.
They could add some new weapons for higher levels. Scoped e-liter should require the highest rank your mind can imagine.

From my current available experience with CJS, I think it's pretty important to get Kraken asap, so my current CJS set has at least 2 main Special Charge Ups (the last main is Ink Resist). CJS has a fairly hard time dealing with corners and short distances; Burst Bombs don't hit as large an area and can't threaten a splat like Splat or Suction Bombs do, and they can't wall off enemies the way an angled Splash Wall can. Going around a corner to fight at close range against another gun is usually asking for it as well. Kraken definitely helps with fighting enemies at close range or enemies that you can lure to you, as you mentioned.
The next question for me is whether I want Swim Speed Up or Ink Savers for subs like you mentioned. I'm currently going heavy on Swim Speed Up so that I have better mobility for spacing, as well as increasing my move speed while in Kraken form. The CJS definitely chews through ink really quickly, so I find that I have to dip for ink more often than I'd like relative to other weapons. I prefer getting opportunistic kills or to pressure enemies though, so I find that I'm swimming around in ink fairly often. I don't want to be the road builder on the team if I can help it, because the CJS is definitely not good for covering ground.
I also need to remember to use the Burst Bombs more
there are probably lots of short range (and long range!) KO opportunities once I have better use with Burst Bombs, particularly since the CJS is fairly slow at splatting on its own.Splash Wall is one of the rarest sub weapons I've seen used in my absurd amount of time playing Splatoon so far. It always surprises me and I do have the rather embarrassing honor of being KO'd by one on Urchin Underpass a few weeks ago. I actually didn't know people could set it up so it's a OHKO on people trying to swim into choke points. :lol
I don't think many people have. I like facing people that try to use it because it gives them a false sense of confidence
Talking about turf war. People have it down in splat zones
From the tumbles
Tonight at 7 PM PT, the Sploosh-o-matic will join the arsenal of Splatoon! Its range is super short, but it gobbles up foes in close-quarters combat. Take them by surprise and theres no escape! The Squid Beakon subs will help you get in there, and the Killer Wail special will let you wreck shop once you do.
Also arriving tonight is the .96 Gal Deco! Its a more sparkly version of the original .96 Gal, but this one comes with a Splash Wall sub and a Kraken special to strike a perfect balance between defense and attack.
Use it to advance through chokepoints or to choke off... chokepoints.
It's very fun for juking as well.

Awww yes, B+. Now the long road towards A-
I've been stuck there for days. Wondering if it's my skill cap.
Edit: Which sucks because the last online game I put a ton of time into was MH3, and I was godly at that one.
The main disadvantage of burst bombs vs splat or suction bombs for me is I can't use them to try to force people out from behind cover with them very effectively. As you noted going around corners with long ranged shooters can be rather dangerous so I don't want to go back there myself to confront people obviously. I can see the utility of getting Kraken quickly so you have that extra safety. Personally, I would go with some ink savers over swim speed for a CJS build, but I do see the utility of using swim speed up to be able to back up quickly to outrange people and it is something I have thought about implementing in my long range builds but I haven't really played around with it yet.From my current available experience with CJS, I think it's pretty important to get Kraken asap, so my current CJS set has at least 2 main Special Charge Ups (the last main is Ink Resist).

Use it to wall off one route then inkstrike them forcing them to come out the other way and get splatted by your charger friend.
