Looks like you pump that bamboo gun to sploosh your opponent to death.

Based on ryechu's research, looks like we get to know the brand name of that sticker on the Nozzlenose for the first time tonight. Was there any official name for that brand at this point?

Apparently the bamboo gun (evil datamining facts)
caps out at 99.9

Wonder how the two hit kill works against other chargers.

Maybe the bamboo charger charges faster than the squiffer.
Also, based on the weapon leak, the new nozzlenose has burst bombs, so hitting them with a burst bomb, then shooting (or the other way around) seems like a viable tactic.
I still want the H-3 Nozzlenose though.
The Bamboozler shoots at max range even when it is not a charged shot. But it takes more time between uncharged shots than any other charger.
That protector looks really nice.

The dream of seeker rush continues. They'll have to release it eventually.
once you get past a certain level it will start matching you with people based more on your play style vs. just your level
Are we hunting Gorn?
To say clothes don't have an effect is a lie, but with a few outliers you're not going to be severely disadvantaged just because the enemies have 3-star gear. The levels are a show of time played, not skill entirely. I've seen a Level 9 wipe the floor with a Level 50 before.
Just something to keep in mind so you don't stress too much about "better" enemies. =)
True enough, lol. Just those few matches of teams that don't seem to focus on coverage in Turf Wars (IE: noticing a bunch of empty spots near base), and the odd time the game teamed with three rollers, lol. At least this is just starting out, non-ranked stuff.

Have you done it yet?
no official names for any of the brands. Just the naming scheme they use for alternates.
the gear isnt that important. A lvl 35 could stomp you with zero gear equipped if that were possible due to his 150x greater experience with the game.
But yeah hopefully you either get matched up with people of similar experience soon, or you are using motion controls and will thus shoot ahead of most of the Americans after you get the controls down, which is in an endeavor independent of what your enemies are doing to you.
Maybe I should play at a different time of day, lol. 90% of my opponents appear to be Japanese players.

On don't you worry. You'll get your chance to make me suffer tomorrow.
That ehh... that doesn't change. I know the game is doing really well all things considered, but it feels like 90% of the sales have to be to the Japanese. That or everyone else sucks so much that you don't face them after your first week of play.
Well... Squid girls I guess, lol
But good to know that they probably have highest sales. I was stunned originally seeing the match ups.
That being said, the fact that latency isn't an issue kind of blows my mind.

Oh good! That's the first day this week I'll be able to play, too.
I'll try to show you how to actually use a roller.
Going by Pokemon, I'll have to go with the "everyone else sucks so much..." theory.
if the splatfests are any indication it's probably because everyone else sucks so much
Soooooooooooo...
I just finished the final boss and OMG! I haven't been on my toes like for a good while. It's maybe one of the best ones that I've played and maybe one of the best ones ever created.
And then came the Squid songs and I realized
:O
The credits theme was also really good! I'm so glad I've finally finished off the single player now, because I got to experience this.
Oh My Gosh!

A little more info about the soundtrack coming out
Pre-orders are up and it's already the #1 best selling music CD on amazon.jp currently.
In addition to the E3 version of Splattack, it also includes an unreleased version of the final boss theme (Chorus of Calamari County) as a bonus track.

I hadn't played Splatoon for a month. But I was mostly just waiting for the update. Since it dropped I've played every day.
I recently went back through Story mode with Charger (Girl Inkling amiibo), and I was reminded how great the final boss is. And the last phase theme is so gooooood. It's my main waiting lobby theme thanks to Squid Beatz. =D

I keep saying this but I really need to take the time to learn chargers, especially with there being so many of them now.
Maybe if I had more flexibility with my weapon selection I wouldn't be a detriment to my team

You can use ffdgh as target practice when he gets the game soon.I keep saying this but I really need to take the time to learn chargers, especially with there being so many of them now.

He'll be better than us within a week.

I accepted a long time ago that I can't do Chargers. I can't even win firefights that are clearly mine because my aim sucks so much. I like to use the line of thought that since there's so many already I shouldn't learn it. The position is already covered by so many others, may as well learn how to fill the other roles.
I should anyways, but then I'm ultimate detriment

I practice chargers in turf war whenever Mall or Moray are in rotation. I've probably spent several hours total on it so far, not sure I ever see myself being good enough to play it in ranked but I'm not as awful as I could be (lol).
I doubt it. I do want to dabble with the slosher though...

Sweet, another charger, finally!
Now I just need the alternate Sploosh.

Epic match of the day: rainmaker, Blackbelly. My team's first to burst the bubble, my teammate snags it just before i do. They jump forward, i jump down, tangle with a Tentatek enemy. We kill each other, i respawn. "Game!"
Me and the Tentatek guy were the only ones with any splats on the board. Everyone else was 0/0, game lasted *maybe* 30 seconds.
Blackbelly's made for ridiculous blowouts on that mode. The match before that, i tried taking the rainmaker through the half pipe and approach the goal from the far side. Got splatted down in the bowl, we contested it for a bit, i jump back in, grab it again, and plant it with everyone ignoring me (one teammate had helpfully painted part of the goal).

The Splatling wasn't a charger?

I decided to start playing Ranked today, finally. Went 2-1, made a nice comeback from like 20-100 in Splat Zones.
Anyways, I don't care about Transformers. Maybe I'll stick with Team Marie as usual. Which team looks more likely to win?
No, it's a new weapon type.
