That's individual events, the money is being split across all 40+ events (or at least I assume it is, inb4 all the money is for the finals).

scoped chargers need dmg up more than nonscoped due to how they aqcuire targets and aim. and everyones stacking defense up for some reason in S and S+.

So after a lot of kicking and screaming I finally sat down and taught myself motion controls. It took a lot of practice and re-conditioning but Id say Im a lot better for it now. The only thing I have yet to regain is the maneuverability speed I had. I now become too preoccupied with that fine-tune aiming and forget to quick dip in and out to become a harder target.
Ive been getting frustrated with this game lately. I never get to play with non-Japanese players anymore. Between their skill level and lag, they wipe the floor with me. The skill level doesnt bother me as I love the competition and chance to improve. However, pit better players against me with some lag and I get really frustrated. Im so tired of instantly exploding to weapons that should be 4 hit kills.
Im far from the best, but Id say Im above average. When Rainmaker came out the other day I jumped right in and was doing really good. I was matched up with mostly USA players though. When I play with all Japanese players Im always on the losing team, which I can only conclude is my fault. Im the only constant variable. I know how impossible it can be to win when a team member drops out, so if I keep getting shut down my poor teammates are having to carry the weight.
Part of it is Im so bullheaded I refuse to accept defeat. I played a round of Bluefin Depot where an exceptional E-Liter sat and camped the entire left area. I refused to just say well hes too good and Ill never get past him so better move on. Nope, tried the whole match to approach him and didnt succeed once, dying about 12 times

You know there's only one solution to that problem.

LolSave up my money and try again?
Man, in my opinion that is one of the most fun parts of the game. I see it as a more complex boss fight, where you fight against a highly intelligent and innovative AI.
Trying out new strategies and figuring ways of approaching as well as all the mindgames and adaptaions involved makes this 1x1 combat really amazing. It also only gets better when you put teamwork and coordination in the mix.
That is kinda true, in that sniper duel I mentioned earlier, the guy kept seeing me no matter what, even when he was aiming in the opposite direction, and at one point I tricked him by jumping down and hiding behind a wall, he swung around and scanned the area but I waited him out until he turned back to focus on the game and that's when I got him.Peléo;175935416 said:
It felt immensely satisfying.
of course, after that though he had a serious revenge hard on for me and was aiming specifically for me for the rest of the match so I couldn't get anything done, but hey.
The stealth mindgames is one of the best things ever about the game.
I imagine frequent suction bomb users know this already, but it appears that if you throw a suction bomb at the exact location of a sprinkler it replaces the sprinkler. Though it's possible that the sprinkler user threw a new one a the same time I threw the suction bomb though.
Don't know that there is any practical application to this, as it's a heck of a lot of ink to get rid of a sprinkler, but it's interesting I guess.

Hey it's not me, I'm just translating it because I thought it was funny lol
Also I went home for lunch and my internet is down
Hopefully it'll fix itself or I'll be able get it up again talking to comcastCoconutTank

You are clearly the most dangerous boss, congrats! Sometimes it's nice to know that you're important
Edit: Hopefully with that sniper's full focus it means that the rest of your team gets more done as well

Finally back from Vegas. What did I miss? (Other than Splatoon going esports in Japan lol)
Autobots vs. Decepticons for the next Splatfest in North America
I hope we hear about the next EU Splatfest soon.
I haven't actually gotten involved in one yet, I took a break from the game shortly before the first one and only managed to do 2 matches of the North vs South pole game, I loved the night time effect and the music changes though, so I'm quite excited to get more involved in the next one.

At the same time I really let my team down because in my crusade to stop this guy, I essentially contributed nothing the whole match.Peléo;175935416 said:
When the results screen comes by and I'm dead bottom with a pathetic paint score and insane death rate it makes me feel awful.
Note too, when Splatfest comes along and it's purely regional I do exceptionally well.
That's not because of region. Matchmaking is essentially turned off during splatfest.

Here's a pic of the legendary hat you get at level 50. *-*
Coming out of that Splatoon tournament series thread on gaming side, I'm actually really happy that people are more curious/open minded about Splatoon's competitive merits.
This picture is like an album cover. :lol

*insert story about DaBoss and his custom splattershot jr.*
That is possible?
There's a glitch that causes you to skip several levels. To my knowledge nobody knows how to trigger it, seems to be random.

Could be someone using that person's account or them using an unfamiliar weapon lol. I'd like to say I am decent at least with a Splash O Matic but put me in charge of a charger and I'm a crawling baby.
This would be so rad, especially if it was all damage up. M. Charger for life.

Some knew about my stick being iffy the past few days, but I've got it fixed now. All I needed was compressed air. Seems like some dust or something got inside and was messing it up. Now it works just like it used to. Really glad it wasn't actually broken.
Also saw this on Reddit: http://gfycat.com/PlasticHomelyGiantschnauzer
Thought the guy was gonna die because the kraken didn't paint a path to the hill.
I always just assume people are trying out new weapons if they aren't doing well. Unless they are just doing something straight up dumb lol.

lol yea, every time I use that in Splat Zones and Tower Control, it's like why am I using this other than to annoy people with disruptors.

Aw shucks saw it on the first page of one of the forums and thought it was new
I like the guy who comes into the 2 month old thread and asks why the OP isn't complaining about .96 Deco.
Yeah, about that content roll out system...
What a good team mate
Yeah, it's important to know when to just play defensively. One of my teams last night risked totally screwing that up. There are like 15 seconds left and the rainmaker was at the top of an unclimbable ledge and enemy team would have to go a long way out of their way + through all 4 of us to get to it and they had extremely limited flanking opportunities. Dude decides to grab it and jump down the ledge. But it all turned out alright in the end.
