And day 2 is gone for the testfire. Currently screwing around in the infinite tutorial painting everything in sight.
Hurry up and join us! You'll never look back at... that other game.

But 8 is great!
Besides silly coin from item block shenanigans and Baby Park over Wario Colosseum.
I imagine it helps a lot.. but still, I feel pretty sad by not being able to win consistently at B/B+ rank.. :/
You can try squads as suggested. But I'd avoid going with an S on your team 'cause I think it increases your chances of getting matched up with S-ranked teams.

So I've been using the Dual Squelcher more and have a hard time settling on a set up. I usual use this:
Ink Saver Main
Special Charge Up
Ink Resistance
or
Ink Saver Main
Run Speed Up
Ink Resistance
I've had success with both but can't seem to stick to one only. What do you guys think?

Baby Park single handedly chased me away from that game. 1 person would vote for it and it would still get picked every damn time!
I'd personally go for special charge up.

Sorta leaning in that direction
Interesting. I have the guide and thought it suggested run speed for it. I'll have to dig it out and check. Didn't know they were classified as heavy weapons.
Well, one thing that actually worries me with squad is, If I just group with players more skilled than I am and just get carried, I could end in a rank much higher than I should be based on my skill.. Making random ranked unplayable

"Unstable connection" indicates packet loss. It could be low upload speed, WiFi interference (buy a compatible USB ethernet adaptor) or an oversaturated uplink (it happens when I use uTorrent).
Here's what I do to monitor my connection (PC/Windows):
Start -> Run -> cmd.exe -> ping -t 8.8.8.8
Just let it run on the background indefinitely and check it out from time to time.
Ping times should be consistent with not too much deviation (aka jitter) and you should never see lost packets (that's what causes "unstable connection").
It's a necessary evil to combat the "I keep spraying, but I don't see any ink" phenomenon.
Forwarding 3074/UDP should do the trick.
DMZ is stupid from both a security and a practical perspective (i.e. if you have more than 1 console).
I wish the Wii U (and the 3DS) supported UPnP, just like all Sony consoles do (PS3/PS4/Vita).
Splatoon should also tell you what kind of NAT (Open/Moderate/Strict) you have. Call of Duty already has that.
GGs ryechu. Will probably play some more since its TC
Lol trust me I heard the cmoning but I was right by the grated wall by myself. I looked at the gamepad quick to see if there was ink I could swim to get by you but I didn't see it so I tried giving grated wall a chance.
I do think going the double wall route is quicker, and potentially easier, than taking the rainmaker up the grated wall. Realized that the last few matches we played on Moray Towers.
we had just wiped them so they wouldnt have been able to respond and the double wall wouldve given us just enough points to win.
lol. I was testing how and when to cheese the rainmaker on that other match and that went horribly. I picked it up at minute 1 but didnt expect the timer to speed up by that much when i started to retreat.
Good games walkman, ryechu, and kas. Sorry to leave like that but all the disconnects and lagging teams we played against made me nervous. Also I guess I'm scared of running into those quadruple S+ Japanese teams who show up on Azure's stream sometimes lol
Though I realized I had the best K/D in most of those games. Guess I'm the real S+ here

Squads are only playable in ranked mode, so unfortunately there is no such thing as a Turf War squad. Your options would be to form a private room and perhaps check Discord to look for folks who might want to join for some casual play, or get into a squad and start taking on ranked.

We need one more for squads!
Holy hell the Quick Respawn stacking on that build.
Hopefully that was the all charger match, cause the rapid blaster match was an embarrassment, lol.
mrpmri is probably single handedly responsible for keeping the guys from taking that. Quick respawn too strong.
Heng was on Rapid Blaster and Rye was on E-Liter if that helps ya remember. Didn't catch what you or Walkman had going in all of those roller splats.

What's the maps right now?
Everyone was Rapid Blaster except Rye, who didn't get the memo.
Arowana Mall and Flounder Heights for Turf War, Urchin Underpass and Kelp Dome for Tower Control
Serious question, when was the last time Camp Triggerfish was in the rotation for turf war? I don't think I've seen it since Splatfest. It's not in the next two rotations either.
welp RIP in pieces
Was this the guy who started the whole kamikaze roller thing? I remember that was a Japanese player too but it might have been on niconico

I haven't seen it in a while either.
Lol yeah Geg dropping knowledge bombs.
Does it matter that I'm terrible?
Edit: Didn't realize I'm like an hour late to responding.

Ok, here goes. About lag.
Some say don't complain about the lag, it's part of every online game experience. But I believe for those us in Europe it is a bigger problem. Especially in last couple days I've experienced the following:
1) Kill notifications coming multiple seconds late. Not a biggie but an indication that something fishy is going on. The same as when the map intro goes on and on.
2) People killing you without even pointing the gun at you.
3) Bazookas killing you before the vortex even showing up.
4) Krakens killing you from metres away.
5) Me killing someone, seeing his remain in one place and then getting the kill notification metres away in a different direction. Where exactly did I kill him?
6) Bomb rushs dropping FPS drastically.
7) Swimming speed dropping like there's no ink, and then speeding back to normal again.
8) Hitting someone - and I swear on this, really hitting - more times than should be necessary and they just walk away - or we both die. It could be that I suck tremendously (a valid option) but come on. At mornings I do better than in the afternoons and evenings when - I think - the majority of Japanese players are online.
9) Teleporting players. Multiple occasions but once I saw someone jumping to the tower. I was on it and he missed the tower for some reason and evidently dropped to water. But immeaditely after he reappeared and landed on the tower. There was no other players there. Also seeing quick jump icon on the ground and then seeing it move around, raising up to a tower for example.
10) Players who freeze in the middle of the action. They just stand there like statues for you to kill them.
11) Haven't had this for a while now but let's list it anyway: the ground not painting.
12) Disconnection issues. I don't have these either nowadays, but I see more and more often people getting dropped from the game.
How many of these have you seen? Laggiest Splatoon ranked match.
