Splatoon |OT4| You're a detriment to your squad

Can't get on Discord, brother is on the computer. Otherwise I would.
You know, I laughed at Buff Inkzooka 2015, but for real, screw the Inkzooka. Pity goes out to all you Snipers I shot an unavoidable death at, because in trying the Splat Charger out, I feel your pain.
Killing chargers quickly before they can get too set up is a basic strategy, you're constantly a target because of it

Yeah, I usually go after chargers first when using other weapons
Its just that it never happened to me before lol
Don't listen to this man.
He's too efficient at killing me.
This means you're special
wat?

Did you watch his stream from the other night? There was one match on Flounder where I kept wrecking his shit and when I went to check his point of view, it turns out you were tag teaming him with me. XD

I mentioned this in the Discord chat, but it's worth repeating here. The last 10-15 seconds of the match needs to be immortalized in some sort of SplatGAF Hall of Fame as a .webm or a .gif or something. Your laugh is just pure gold, and I mean that in a good way! : )
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the server only provides the initial matchmaking to get players together in a group. Once the game starts, the connection becomes Peer-to-Peer (P2P), after which the quality depends on everyone's connection speed and latency relative to everyone else.
Fellow Aussie here, and I understand your frustration. 1.5HKO Tentateks with Dual Squelcher range, sniped by chargers behind walls and/or when the laser wasn't even pointing at you, Rollers that hurl ink at you when they're not even looking at you, and Krakens that don't directly touch you killing you anyway. Unfortunately, this is just one of those things you have to get used to. Better download/upload speeds and a wired connection will help, but it will only go so far; you can't beat latency caused by signals going back and forth halfway across the world.
As for the aim assist, there is (was?) some sort of crosshairs snapping towards the ground; I recall some people mentioning it in the OT a while back. Still no option to turn it off AFAIK.
I usually only watch the last 20 seconds of his stream after I finish the match unless something awesome happens.

The snap to the ground is annoying, and yeah you can't do anything about it. I think it's more of a problem with longer range weapons though.
I'm not sure if I would trust a router that was given to me by my ISP. I've always had issues with them, usually they would drop my connection while I was playing any online game. If it doesn't work out for you, I can try to talk my brother into giving you a router, just pay for the shipping. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
lol if I ever play on stream I always go back and watch the entirety of the time I played in the vod. It's fascinating watching games I'm in from a different perspective
Well the other router is theirs and it worked fine up until recently so I'll trust them for now, we'll see how it goes, thanks.
More free than NSTC even. Kappa.
I would, but that takes too much time. Pretty much any free time I have I'm in game, lol.
Edit:
I use an ISP supplied router and I'm pretty free from disconnects.

You know it is really funny but I saw a miiverse post with a different character with that cap and the same 3 damage up subs. Let's see...here:This Legendary Cap is...legendary...
What is RNG?
Rankercoaster, rankercoaster, ups and downs.
But I'm on the up right now! Today I went A+ 76, fell to A (it was a looooong session during those matches...), made it back to A+, lost ONE game in the rank, and eventually I made it back to S. I started dying behind walls to Japan, and that always throws me off a ridiculous amount, so I figured quitting would be the best for now.
I'm just so glad I'm out of that A. A+ is leaps and bounds ahead of A. .-.

Wow going back to single player after spending most of my time in multi. So damn easy XD Haven't finished it yet but looking forward to doing the amiibo challenges, kraken in particular. I'm getting the hang of the octobrush but am definitely not using kraken well enough....hahaha.
Also an Aussie, I always wonder if there aren't many other Aussies playing or if the Japanese playerbase just outnumbers the Aussie playerbase a thousand times over or something because I rarely get matched with any obviously non-Japanese players. Either that or they are fake-japanese like me XD (using a Japanese Wii U with katakana name). I feel like I only sometimes experience roller lag deaths, charger deaths where the laser is pointing elsewhere are more common and tend to annoy me more since I go through the trouble of dodging for naught.

I find it hilarious how the "azure is free" jokes have evolved to an entirely new level of walking squid insults haha
I watched most of these, but they all turn into a slideshow whenever heavy action (the parts worth watching) occurs. Something with your encoder?
Yeah, that happens with his stream occasionally. I remember he fixed it shortly after but yeah the squid squad match ended up being really choppy

Guys the TW rotation right now is Walleye + Bluefin. In other words, it's amazing, someone get in here.

8(Still at work.
If I see one on the map I try go take it out but while I do I'm so paranoid someone will jump me from behind and take me out LOL.
I took a day off the game and came back today. I've re-evaluated my playstyle and rather than simply team blame I am now thinking more in line with "Okay, if I didn't die there, what could have changed: I could have held the position delaying the enemy; I could have splat'd two of theirs if I went around the side, etc.
Went from A- 32 back to A, and breaking for the night, but at least I'm realizing my own previous faults.
That being said... I really, really feel that Krakens shouldn't be able to sit on the Tower and move it forward.
... then again I'm biased against Krakens in general. Not that I feel they can't be dealt with, just have certain issue with some things they do... Also lag Krakens are annoying as hell.

Am I one of those few who likes all maps?
Even the Rapid Blaster?
I thought you used to be a sniper? lol
audio definitely overlaid but if you watch their lip movements they're clearly singing the vocals!
Actually now that I think about it if they were singing stuff they overlaid into the vocals it would look the same
give me unfiltered footage nintendo you bastards
He was, but he's Luna Blaster scum now.
I like all the maps...in turf war >_>
I hate/avoid...
Zones: Port mackerel, Heights, Mall, Towers(**** chargers basically), Skatepark

Sounds like you should main Chargers, the one with the Wail.
Some squids just want to watch the world burn.

See I just use the Splattling and play on every map in every mode without any problem or complaint.
But then, only real warriors use the splattling.
