Out range them, and main the Custom Jet Squelcher for a while.
Recently I've been seeing quite a few people try to counter me (with zink mini) by going around me in circles while dipping in and out of the ink. I guess they think that since I need to charge up and in order to kill need to land like 5 or so hits that they can catch me from behind eventually or something. Feels so good once I catch onto them implementing that 'strategy' to just stop following them, charge up take a few steps back and unload and kill them. They look so stupid and in the end they die anyway LOL.

Yeah, I like to kill dippers too. They are really confident I can't snipe them if they just keep zigzagging. Wrong.
The best ways to conquer your dislike of something, is to use it!
It worked with Dynamo Rollers.
But I still hate Gals (tried them on an alt account) and E-Liters.
YMMV with the tactic

I thought you were doing good with Splatterscope? E-Liters just take a bit more to get used to. What's the problem with them?
Splatterscope is fun to me because I use it like a mid-range with short charges. E-Liter doesn't mesh well with me, I don't like long-range fighting.
And if I want to use Burst Bombs I play Splattershot.
Triggerfish is great. (except on zones, where it's ass)
Weren't you the one that said a while back that it's the easiest stage to win on with 96D?
Super late edit: wait, you're a 52. Guess that does change things a bit with loss of range/Kraken
Splatterscope is outright more fun to play than E-Liter just because of its speed. People will say "use more damage up on E-Liter" in response, but I just kinda like knowing that I don't need to gauge charges too much & that I can just rapidly attempt to out speed someone with full charge shots. (Partial charges to CQC.)
...that all said, E-Liters lately have gotten to the point where I immensely hate the range disadvantage I'm at with a Splatterscope.

I can sorta agree with E-Liters being the no nonsense charger, but I feel with it's search and destroy kit, it begs itself to have that reputation. I did try it for a while, but I stopped simply because the kelp splatterscope is the best thing ever haha.
Also my weird charger play style makes it more challenging than ever to follow opponents and get the snipe while it's zooming it. I prefer the scopeless E-Liter nowadays anyway.

I have developed the headcanon that Sheldon is a closet metal head
Nah, that was me. I play .96/.52/CJS/Carbon.
And yeah, cheesing triggerfish zones in solo queue with .96 was easy. Don't like it though. The way the map is designed it's too hard to come back once you get locked out.
Heh, funny enough I still hate dynamos. I do know how to counter them, but when they appear outta nowhere and ruin my day...
Don't blame Sheldon, blame Zink

I've been having a lot of lost connections since the last map was released, anyone else? I'm just trying to home in on my problem, thanks!
It does feel pretty dumb when you have a team that can cover ground for you (anyone with mid-long range). I have a ton of fun with it, but I fear when it catches on like the other few meta weapons. It's going to be the most bothersome to fight.
When there's a grand total of one kill in a game. :lol
We popped the RM, I grabbed it, pathed it, and dunked. I guess everyone else was involved in a firefight or something.
Had that happen to me on rainmaker triggerfish once. Everybody on the other team took the side paths for some reason. We pop the shield, teamate grabs the fish and then I paint(octobrush) the way down the main path to the goal without ever seeing the opposing team. Easiest win I ever had in S lol.
Gods if everyone knew how to play. Show me one team that knows how to play Saltspray other than the 1/100 and I'd agree...
Edit: posted before I had finished typing. >_>
gotta love when they forget how to super jump to spawn lol.
Fell to S again (err... again again? Again? idk how I would even say it anymore) last night off of an eighteen loss spree.
Now I got pitted against a full S+ team as a full S team and I lost seven points for it... Seven. I was at 60. Wasn't even high up in the tier. Now I remember why I told myself I'd never make it to + before. The point gain/loss is just ridiculously broken. :L

Made it to S+ a while back and now I'm on a new profile, where I can experience the S level hell without worrying about points
I still get salty about the points sometimes
Someone needs to edit this image:
So that on the left you see the other team composition and their plans of attack as they come up the main lane on Triggerfish and the dude on the right is the other POV of the guy playing 96D throwing splash wall against the wall near their ramp and camping them out.
It's really that easy-bake.

I made it to S+ (for the third time) Thursday, didn't play at all on Friday, and then played a tiny bit of TW on Saturday annnnd... Played tilted on Sunday, hence the eighteen losses. My salt is unmatched when I'm on tilt.
It's funny though because I feel I play well enough to be in low S+ on my good mindset. Once I go tilt though, I blame everything else (sometimes deserved, 99% of the time not), go hyper negative, and just keep going.. and going... and going. Bashing my head into a brick wall that I set up for myself.
So really I'm just the most hypocritical person out there, since I'm sure too many of my posts are complaining about others play when I do the same on the wrong mindset.
The above image is what I believe every Wall user is running through their heads on stages that work with them. ;-;
Are you implying that winning with
the broken as hell
I play with both Vergil and 96D..
Am I part of the problem?

So is this why Marth got nerfed to hell and back in Smash 4?
Ninja vs. barbarian starting early?
For a good minute I thought those were inkrails, now I'm sad we never got a map with them.
I knnooooow.
Fans are 10/10 but the ink rails could make for some crazy movement. How it would work don't ask me but I want it, confound it.

First thing I thought of was having rollers drop down from above to splat me -_-
You just need to become One Punch Man for sufficient reflexes.

(eyes emoji) so when are you gonna let me order that
I'm putting the L3D aside for now. I truly believe it's one of the most versatile, well-rounded weapons; got me back to A+ after my H3 shenanigans. And you can practically man the sniper perches in some matches if there are no chargers present. But there's something unreliable about burst bombs as a main. Too many times the bombs don't seem to register as near misses and I get mowed down by gals/tentateks/nzaps in a direct confrontation. Also using 25% of your ink tank per shot is a severe liability when facing two or more foes at once.
Going to return to the tri-slosher. Build: 2x special charge up, 2x swim speed, 1x quick respawn, 1x ink saver sub (freshness-related).

You guys know we'll eventually get to OT 5 right?

I had a lousy play session in Ranked earlier today. It was Tower Control at the Museum and Moray Towers. I never found a groove and dropped from A- to B. I then decided to play Turf War to level up some clothes and didn't win a single match. Very lousy day.
Drag some of that Discord over and we'd hit OT6 in record time.
I feel like I'm the only guy now who likes Splatlings but still doesn't have Sonic incarnate.

I forgot to ask, was that from rerolls?
Spyke coming through.
Don't we need like 30,000 posts or something to get to OT5?
Precisely my joking point with OT6. With how much banter that goes on it would make it really fast... if the messages were instantaneous, and mods didn't crack down on everyone for going OT, lol.
I can't figure out how to get a screengrab from Youtube, but I had a game tonight where a teammate was hopping off of the opening cliff of Bluefin Depot repeatedly. Ended up 0/21. Somehow we won.
I don't even know. It was so weird. And frustrating.

I still use the heavy splatling a lot. that's my alternate weapon choice if I'm not feeling the splattershot.
I ordered the vest and Spyke got the first two subs. I save scummed the last one.
Different weapons prefer different skills. Run speed is good on splatlings since they have to stand to charge and don't swim very often.
What weapons do you use?
