I'm crying tears of joy right now.
Congrats!
I wish I can booyah/nice with L button, I also want an "assault" button.
I want a "I'm sorry!!!". Would use that every match.
i used to think that a mini-map on screen at all times showing the same info as the gamepad map wold be good, but then I actually thought about it and realized it would just make the game ridiculously easy and wouldn't reward players for their spatial awareness, but rather their ability to look at the mini-map.Inking pathways announces itself not just on the gamepad map, but on the big screen too. It's not exactly subtle. Splatoon's maps are very linear for a shooter, with flanking opportunities only really available at designated spots. Flanking someone through enemy territory, with hopes of catching them unawares, relies more on their own tunnel vision than the sneakiness of the part of the player. Splatoon is a game about overt territory control, with a plainly visible front. You can try to grab a flank from enemy territory, but you're not exactly a thief in the night while doing so. Any territory gained is plain for all the world to see, either on the gamepad map or by the very color of the ground. So the notion that the game will break if the enemy sees you gaining territory in a game that is all about highly visualized territory control is laughable.
"I hope no one is looking at the map right now, because I need to create a path by flinging a flurry of hot pink ink through the air, stealthily."
For me, Ink Resistance is mandtory for Inkbrush, due to it's narrow ink path. Often, I will find myself touching enemy ink when turning corners despite having my brush down. I currently also use it with Blasters, as they absolutely rely on manueverability to keep opponents at distance. It is also mildly helpful in ranked Rainmaker.I feel like having ninja squid and ink resistance is so essential for me. What about you guys?

ayy lmao
I'm going to play some more soon. Maybe I can get to B today!
Damn, am I the only one? ;_;Any Luna Blaster mains? What abilities do you use and why? Any general tips you would like to give?

Swim speed ups and walk speed ups because you'll need to rush and retreat a lot. Treat it like a brush that you don't have to spam and master jump shots. Pretty straight forward weapon, learning to pick your battles is the hardest adjustment. The element of surprise is crucial so learn it's range asap. Try to wait until enemies are grouped together for maximum carnage.
I personally wouldn't like a map on screen at all, it would ruin a lot of flanks for myself and others. A lot of my flanks would be ruined if people had a color coded map on their screen telling them what direction I'm coming from, they could be looking down at the gamepad, but nobody does that, they could spot me while I'm painting but 50% of the time I can get where I want without being detected,Inking pathways announces itself not just on the gamepad map, but on the big screen too.

I do use ninja squid sometimes, it's a cool thing to have from time to time, for ink resistance though I have always hated it, even near the games launch when everybody thought it was the best ability. I believed then and still believe now that if I was in enemy ink I would have died regardless of the ability or not, I would say it probably would only help in like 2% of my deaths, stealth jump has always been my favorite shoe exclusive ability, comes in handy way more to me. I only use ink resistance when I'm messing around with the inkbrush, because it's rolling mode makes a pretty narrow lineI feel like having ninja squid and ink resistance is so essential for me.

I'm having success with straight forward def up, dmg up and stealth jump build.
Never retreating.
Which mode though? I use stealth jump for ranked but not for TW but that's for all weapons, not just luna. I find the mobility is really helpful for flanking enemies but everyone plays differently. If you're finding yourself never having to retreat then you're just better than I am I guess.
I just learned to live with dying. Also I notice that being a charger main is really helpful going to blaster.
Marathon my way out of A- hell again back to A 50. Will wait for the next rain maker rotation lol.
Well prepare yourself mentally now for the fresh hell that will be A+. I can't tell you how many times I had to just calmly put down my controller and count backwards so I didn't end up like the guy in the Twitter post above :{
The last two times I gave up and just rolled with a good GAF squad to A+99 to save my sanity.
I'm crying tears of joy right now.
I wonder if any consideration was given to having a separate rank for squads. When I see an S in ranked, I am fairly confident of their ability. An S in squads is not as accurate of an indicator due to being carried, or just barely reaching rank S then never playing ranked again. I have seen quite a few S players in squads that appear to be out of their league.
I feel like I should just give up trying to get to S by myself.
I'm B+, but the game put me against A+ and S players, wat?
S is four ranks above mine. What the fuck
I got up to 85, but then down to 36 again..
Well, At least I get money from it lol
Just six more weapons to go
The letter in your rank doesn't increase your skill in any way. If your ultimate potential is to be rank S, then it will happen due to the law of large numbers.I feel like I should just give up trying to get to S by myself.

If the room is mixed with lower/higher ranks, I bail out just to be safe...because the matchmaking WILL put me with the lower ranks vs the higher ranks >_>.
8 Weapons for me...for 100300. Good thing I have everything I want already lol.
I'm used to play against A/A+ players, its not much harder than playing against B+/A- , the problem is the random teamsThe letter in your rank doesn't increase your skill in any way. If your ultimate potential is to be rank S, then it will happen due to the law of large numbers.
If "by myself" means you are considering quickly squadding to A+, then you will simply be a B+ player playing against even tougher teams. A squad of S is immensely more skilled in practice than normal ranked.
Join gaf in our games. We'll lift you up.
I have squad up. Players needed.
So on a scale of 1-10 how greedy would it be if I tried to re-roll that visor to get 4 run speed-ups?
Greed is not the word that first comes to mindSo on a scale of 1-10 how greedy would it be if I tried to re-roll that visor to get 4 run speed-ups?
This just isn't true. I don't understand how you can play this game and think that.there are no line of sight breakers in Splatoon

I might be getting things wrong here but I think recon mode will change your colours.And now I got a full set.
And so it was ordered, and so it was worn. I wanted to wait until I was on a light blue ink team, but it didn't happen... Splatoon needs a photo mode for your Inkling.
This makes the posts about the Gamepad screen and the minimap somehow more relevant.
Just try for it on a different hatOK, that's what I thought. I always seem to get two of the same on gear which is driving me insane >_< I'll get the 4 one day though.
