I had an eleven game losing streak last night. Lol. I admit I'm merely decent at the game, but I was still a bit annoyed. Plus I'm much worse at rainmaker than tower control or splat zones for some reason.

Probably had my best games ever in kelp dome. First one I managed to harass the other team of 3 snipers and a dynamo which got us a W (but no knock out). And the 2nd one where I stopped inking after I got passed our side, killed the first sniper on the block, took out a carbon roller, then killed the 2nd sniper on their perch then killed the respawned eliter guy all while running around not leaving an ink trail. I tell ya, start of a new meta right there.

I take it being sniped mid-super jump is not possible in the game so it kills you when you hit the ground instead
That was me on tower control last night. They were both matches that came to time out and one was only won by a single point (14 vs 13).
On the one hand I had the most kills out of my team and a positive K/D ratio (usually the least deaths) but on the other hand I don't think many of those were related to the objective. If I were to give lame excuses it would be I used the .96 Gal deco for the first time, completely fumbled the splash walls but did okay with the kraken...well I did get shot off the tower by a charger which was amusing.
I don't use it as well. Majority of the players I play against do not have enough defense up to survive 2 of my shots. I usually run swim speed with ink resistance and a few special charge up, although I've tried going full swim speed but felt like it took way too long to charge my bubble.

New map hype!

Does Tenacity fill the Special gauge faster with Special Charge Up?

When?
Apparently later tonight.
Nice! Can't wait to love/hate it.
Just to clarify, run speed does boost brushes while "rolling". I have tested it myself.
oooooooooo
One of those pics has a G on the wall. Clearly a hint towards something.
Special Charge Up only affects how much special gets charged from ink you place on the ground.
This isn't true.
Source? I tested it myself in test arena. Brushing from one end to other was timed faster with run speeds. I ran the trials many times.

Oh hey. That map was in the TV commercials, no? I remember seeing this map somewhere, at least...
yeah it was, whenever they were hyping up the new August update (EVO?) they showed off Flounder Heights and Hammerhead Bridge
It's also shown in Nintendo's 30 second, unskippable Youtube ad that keeps playing in front of my videos.
Hope it doesn't pull a Flounder Heights and live on forever. Since new maps always stay in the release day's rotation, and we know it's (very likely) going to be in the Splatfest rotation, there will be enough time to get accustomed. Don't need more than a 48 hour period with one map.

From the tumblr:
Tonight at 7 PM PT, the new stage Hammerhead Bridge will be added to the rotation. Verticality is a feature of the stage, with the terrain split into two distinct layers. Ink assaults can come from any direction, but watch out for attacks from above or below gratings in the floor or ceiling in particular. Battles here are sure to be dynamic affairs playing out in all corners of the stage.

What's up guys. Long time but I'm back. Is this old news?

No one has linked it yet. Is the $10,000,000 prize pool on the top of the page for Splatoon or MLG all together?
Edit: just an ad -_-
$10M Splatoon prize pool? Keep dreaming, this isn't DOTA.
But it's a MOBA, maybe my dreams can come true!$10M Splatoon prize pool? Keep dreaming, this isn't DOTA.
Lol, that's what I say whenever people tell me Splatoon can't be esports.
But right now you're lucky to get a tournament where you can win $10 per player.

All we need is a LAN mode and spectator mode.
I sincerely hope Nintendo realizes how important these two things are for the future of the series. People are putting up with it currently because the game is absolute cocaine and there's a decent (if not completely unified) player base there, but these two things + a Smash 64 to Melee like polish transition could set this series on fire.
I want to see a large prize pool just to see how many great players there really are out there. Could we see some ridiculous techs being pulled, or maybe some nitty-gritty team compositions that were broken down to a science? There's sooo much possibility, but until there's enough there to "take things seriously" we'll never see all the game has to offer in a competitive setting.
On another note, no Rainmaker at all today. :\

I am rather disappointed that 1) I can't watch a match I'm waiting to get into, and 2) there's no option to YouYube upload a replay after a match or something like that. I don't know if the second is technically possible on the hardware; maybe in the sequel.

The 2nd option is what got me into streaming on Twitch. Once I saw Azure and splatacus uploading highlights of matches, I knew I wanted to do that as well.

I want to do it too, but I can't justify the cost at present.
