hiirigana and katakana are both kana. basically kana is japanese characters that aren't kanji or emojii (the true written language of 2015)

I knew how to read and write both kana, and had learned a couple dozen Kanji as well. But that was five years ago, just before I dropped it out of self-confidence issues. Didn't want to be seen as some weeaboo wanna-be-Japanese nerd. (Because, you know, learning a new language obviously implied that.)

But yeah, you're right. I just preferred Hiragana's flowing nature, so it would be the first of the two to re-learn.
And I did forget the group name for both of the syllabaries.

Anyways

TRI-SLOSHER COME TO MEEEE

Same time as always, right? That'll be 9PM for me. Plenty of time to play around with it!

God, college has been sucking all my time, cant barely play a few matches when I get home later in the day :(
So any news about new maps after the bridge one?

There is data for more maps (well little more than names) but it is likely they will patched in around release time to prevent leaks. I'd also expects maps on a much slower schedule.

明日9月26日午前11時、新しいブキ「ヒッセン」が追加される。
射出口が3つに分かれており、一度に3方向にインクを放つスロッシャーだ。
小学校でお世話になったような形をしている。
サブは「ポイズンボール」、スペシャルは「バリア」だ。

Tommorrow at 11am JPN, the new weapon "Hissen" will be added.

It's got three ports for sloshing, so it's a slosher that fires ink in three directions! (?)

It's shaped like an elementary schooler's bucket.

Sub is Poisonball (Disruptor?), special is shield.

----

I think it just means it has a wider arc than a normal splosher, rather than actually firing in three directions

I haven't bothered with katakana yet. It isn't as common and I am entertained enough by having no clue what the hiragana names might mean in English (if anything).

Okay gonna say.. Kelp Dome on Rainmaker has gotta be the dumbest map.
"Oh I walked a few steps and now I'm at 55 distance." Seriously.


Anywho, new bucket looks nice for Tower Control and RM push.

So what exactly is the tri-slosher going to have to make up for the wider ink spread? Shorter range? Longer interval between attacks?

It may not be as common but once you know it you can understand almost everything written in it, since it's typically only used for made-up names and foreign words.

Sounds like my kind of update. Only way it could be better is if it was a roller with a disruptor.

Oh my god imagine a carbon roller with a disruptor. I would just give up if I saw one on the other team

Going by the raw numbers from NWPlayer123 - range is 33, damage 80 and mobility 70

compared to 52, 90 and 50 on the standard slosher
Click to expand...
So a wider ink spread and higher mobility, but shorter range and lower damage. I don't think that damage decrease is going to be enough to lower the hits it needs to kill though, since the regular slosher already does 80 points of damage

I feel like Carbon Roller+Disruptor+Echolocator could be the ultimate assassin set. No running or hiding.

Of course you sacrifice mid and long range but anyone dumb enough to enter your space is pretty much guaranteed dead.

BUCKETS! BUCKETS! BUCKETS!

A new weapon launches tonight at 7 PM PT! The Tri-Slosher is a Slosher-type weapon with three angles of attack! The individual splashes lose a little bit of power, but the wide spread makes it very handy in a tight spot! The Disruptor sub and Bubbler special make this set perfect for in-your-face splatting.

The range may neuter this. The Slosher has range advantage against rollers. This will get splatted by roller before it can get second hit off.

this might have an ohko if it converges its splashes. The damage parameter doesnt tell us much.

I can't link it because mobile but there is a RM glitch for Hammerhead where you fall off the side and land on the suspension beams underneath.

I feel like It doesn't need echolocator to be the best, I'd rather have kraken, but this is still a really good set.

Jeez, three games played today, three lost. But I can legitimately say it's not even me right now. I'm not even on tilt, my partners are just playing like B's. 2/10 Luna Blaster? 1/8 Tentatek? Come on. :

I know bad games happen, but the Tentatek was S+! D:

Landed in a good lobby just now where we still lost, but it wasn't a head-scratching "what are you doing" case. Rematching with them, luckily they stayed.

It's hard hitting someone who's laggy and has "auto aim". /salt
