Can't believe it took me 53 snails and 330K to get this cloth. ;_;
Finally my ideal full set done.
I doubt they will.
A part of the game balance is that certain weapons are equipped with certain secondaries and specials.
That was good. I was curious how they went about recording some of the music and voices.

I don't think they'll ever change that, it kinda is the whole point of having different weapons. It gives every weapon its own unique playstyle.
Nice!
Watching that match was the first time I noticed that there is a blimp over arowana, lol.

DUDE.... How the hell do you remember everything to highlight? lol

I hope not. I think that would seriously unbalance the gameplay and make super weapons which everybody would use without any variance. The situation with .96's is bad enough as it is.

So, a question to ChargerGAF.
Why is charger so inconsistent? Or why am I as a charger? I can go from, say, 11 kills to 2 kills to not being able to kill anybody and missing all the shots - and back again.
Is there anything to do? Is it nerves? Fatigue?
Does anybody else using chargers have slumps?

you know I do have slumps too. For me most of the times it's because A) haven't played in a while B) I'm fatigued, since chargers really require a lot for me, both mentally and physically or C) FUCKING LAG
'A' is the only option where I'm actually able to do something about it, which is practicing for a while.

Because it requires an extremely high level of precision that the other weapon classes do not.
Personally, I find I play godly if I'm well-rested, and horrendously if I slept badly the night before (often from staying up too late sniping--hmm).
Slumps are normal, unfortunately. As you get better, they at least happen somewhat less often.

To add to what I said above, I feel like charger requires better map awareness than the other weapons because your entire point is to splat people before they get close, meaning you have to watch more of the map at once. You also have terrible maneuverability paired with being extremely effective from highly visible locations.
Rewatching that match has had me wondering if it would have been smarter to come down their side passageway with rainmaker after that delayed early quad instead of barreling down the middle and having to fight someone coming up the ramp with all of rainmaker's weirdness when aiming down.
I'm also wondering if I could have set up better win conditions for the team with the space control I was trying to go for a few times in the match (bomb rushing from the ramp leading to their side of the map; the multiple max charge shots to ink the mid and ramp up so I could follow Toad better). Watching the match from Yuulka's perspective really made me more confident in some of my match decisions (inking over the path she was setting up and returning to the main fray slowly to take in everything that could be set up over the distance of the stage to where the objective was), but I feel like I still have some things to work on (most notably getting out of suction bomb hitboxes/setups lol).
I have a ridiculously good memory + when I'm not doing work/reading, I'm doing something online so I just go through the VoDs. It's pretty easy until you have to work with multiple hour long archives and Twitch's wacky highlight export functionality. Seriously, why does it reset/reload the VoD from the beginning when you choose to export multiple highlights from the same block of video? Why can't I just multi-export in the same window? :lol
BlueSilver once told me that charger is the most hit or miss (heh) class in the game. These mood/ability swings just happen. Honestly? The best advice I can give is to just shrug and get on to the next game. The moment you start doubting or hesitating your aim or approaches is pretty much the moment your entire team suffers from it. If you want to get consistent or just feel better (as much of a bully suggestion this is going to sound like), head into some low level turf wars and play a few rounds where you just shoot everything moving and forget the objective for a bit. Then after getting confident in your shooting again, try to fulfill both a personal quota (say 6K/1D) that you increase over time and the objective. After that, try doing both of those while incorporating thoughts on how you use your ink lines for more than just traveling or inking turf. While TW is only one of the four modes available and TW fundamentals transfer to the different ranked modes differently, you should still be working on the raw basics that are aiming, shooting, and approach/evasion which in turn give you more solid fundamentals to layer on tactics with.
It's what I've been doing since I picked up charger and any number of SplatGAF regulars will tell you I make the DUMBEST decisions while having some semblance of decent

I really don't like it when Boo drinks and plays. Given that they all said they were tired (or drunk) at the end of the match, I wonder if they'll just play this off as "this wasn't a serious match so whatevs".

For Azure:
From the Splatoon fanart thread, before anyone gets the idea that I can draw. Lol.

Kill it with ink!
Great art style and love the little effects
Yeah I heard that part and felt kinda bad for getting hype for winning but at the same time, a win's a win.
Really want to help co-ordinate some sort of SplatGAF vs. The World sometime.

But it's just so beautiful. D=
I keep trying to spam you on Discord. I even got your brother's attention for a moment. Lol.
I was trying to ask if it was StarTropics time about... 4 hours ago? Lol. You keep a Discord tab open, huh?

Sounds like the Octobrush or Carbon Roller.
Octobrush Noveau. Otherwise, we're probably waiting for Splatoon 2. :lol
I go through this all the time as well. I think the problem comes what's required to play a charger effectively. It's hard to control a map every game because players adapt to your play style. This of course is from my experience with chargers.
Other times you're just tired and you don't realize it. Usually when my aim is off, I'll try a different weapon or check if my gyro didn't mess up while I was playing.

Oh ok. My memory is absolute trash. I can barely remember what I ate for dinner last night lol. I'm going to just start using the highlight feature that my bot has. That's probably why I only have like 2 highlights right now. When I see you chop and drop so many highlights in one day I get jealous lol.

It can be all 3, or the match just wasn't playing in your favor. Other times, the other 3 teammates are just on point the whole match, leaving you with little to do. If you start becoming inconsistent or just doing poorly, take some time to take a deep breath and stretch your forearms. That tends to help. I would offer more advice, but I'm on mobile.
Worst special. Tentatek is useless now. Buff Inkzooka 2015.

Get out.
Goodness no. That'd be more tiring than Wii Fit. I just hold it down while sitting on the couch.
2015 is the year of Buff .96 Gal, you can hold out until 2016 for your Inkzooka.
omg I'm not kidding when I say unwinnable game. Standstill on Flounder Heights, we popped it after thirty seconds, and then... Kraken-geddon. Ink strike rained down from the sky, and from within, one Rainmaker wielder emerged with two Special Duration Up Krakens by his side. It was straight outta Michael Bay.
No.

What? Of course not.
I play upside down.

Inkzooka is beaten by Splash Wall while Killer Wail pierces Wall and costs less to charge.
SM239 switches to Sploosh.
I see how it is.
Splish is the best weapon in the game tho. lol
Splish on skatepark is so silly sometimes, lol.

Geg hates sploosh, also heavy splatling.
Add run speed ups for bonus points.
I find it to be extra silly on bluefin and towers. Once you get to the enemy side all sorts of shenanigans ensue. Just ask Azure lol
I've played against your beakon shenanigans on bluefin. Was quite annoying.
lol it's just a weird running joke between me and SM
I actually don't mind playing against splooshes most of the time.
Fuck the heavy splatling though
