Comeback buff!
And Splatfests actually sound fun now.

Not sure how legit this picture is (as plenty of fake images have already surfaced all over the Internet/Twitter), but apparently the English version will use "Team" Power Level, according to NintendoEverything and GoNintendo's Flickr.
The Over 9000 memes are now more relevant.

I've come to the realization that my internet latency is juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a smidge too high to use the roller correctly. I've been bounced off of people raw rolling with the non-carbon rollers and flicks don't kill.
Now that that's off of my chest... Fresh Squiffer! OG/LDE buffs! INK REC BUFF! This update is gonna be so fun.

I doubt it, but we'll see in a week.
I played the most infuriating Rainmaker match tonight. My wife and I are B, B- players and somehow ended up facing off against a team with an S+ and an A-. We held our own for a while, but they ended up getting to the point of winning. It was on Flounder Heights. Instead of swimming up the podium and finishing the match, the S+ player stood behind the fucking podium shooting at the spawn point for the entire 60 second countdown of the Rainmaker.
Like, whatever. You're better than me. Fine. But fuck you. Just let the match end.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong
You can only equip 3 pieces of gear so the hard max is the total possible with every ability (sub/main) filled. But yes you're right it's all curves, although some of the curves are essentially hard maxes as adding more after a certain point (for example damage up .52 or
any amount of
I think Leagues Under the Ink is exactly what you're looking for: http://www.twitch.tv/leaguesundertheink/profile
There are matches every week with some being broadcasted on that channel with commentary.
I jist had a weird dream where some of the new weapons had additional changes or some really stupid perks. One was throw three burst bombs in a row, the third becomes a splat bomb. Another was a bubble wand with beakons that, if you go to them, you get an echolocator for just you.
Someone bookmark this shit for splatoon 2 as this was way too specific. Also, secondary weapons.

The new Bomb Sniffer sounds nice. The changes to the Splatfest were necessary since long ago.

I checked that and other sites and the Japanese do seem to be interpreting it as being marked by your opponent. So let's just go with that lol
We've been sort of testing this in quads in Discord and it's kinda working...kinda.

Some interesting changes coming.
Time to try out some new stuff again.
Glad the Splatoon updates will keep going for now

Just saw the patch notes a few hours ago, this is actually the biggest balance change since the start of the game. Bomb sniffer is something I'm contemplating running now, gotta check the rest of these buffs.
Also the changes to matchmaking are very welcomed, it does appear that they have listened to some of the feedback from the playerbase.
I still want more content - wonder when squid sister amiibos are announced.

It takes the Recon buff for people to see that Quick Super Jump is useful/stupidly fun, and not seeing me super jump 3 times in quick succession on their kill cam before they respawn.
Life is weird.
QSJ is the "quirky" ability no one wanted to give up "meta" perks for until they get quick rolled and reconsider.

Everybody would have at least tried it already if they had your God Gear.
It's only 3 mains worth :/
I thought you had like three mains worth of QR and QSJ?
Hopping all over is fun, but being able to do it with little repercussion sounds better. And since it all boils down to RNG even with brand bias..
That's also a big reason for little variance of the meta I'm sure. Random rolls. People would stick with the same stuff (ability wise) as now, but I'm sure you'd see a bit more in the experimental department.
But yeah, buffs to other things making people suddenly see "OMG THIS IS GOOD?" on stuff you've used forever is a funny place to be in. /Moba experience with the feeling
Once again I don't know what weapon to play, but this time not due to bad results. I'm terrified the haunt buff will wreck my point sensor spam strategy. 3-hit kills with the custom blaster are the worst.
So I guess I'll practice with everything until we know more about the new meta and weapons. I tried the splattershot jr last night. Making the right reads with splat bombs is indeed glorious, but good lord that deviation.

It's about 3 mains of both abilities, though Quick Respawn doesn't take that much of an affect if I use my Stealth Jump shoes (which have 2 subs of QSJ)

Only lost one point in an S rank match loss with a 0/0 teammate, is that new?
Did they disconnect? If they did, it's not new.
These are all great picks, especially the rapid blaster family. They're some of my favorite weapon types in the game and I hope a new variant comes out in the future Sheldon Picks series that has Beakons and Kraken. That'd be awesome
Rapid blaster + kraken would be sick. But I don't love beakons personally- I'd prefer point sensors or perhaps even spinkler. The other subs the family doesn't have yet are splat bombs, burst bombs, and wall.These are all great picks, especially the rapid blaster family.

But the real dilemma with the rapid blaster is whether to go for 99.9 damage. I put freshness first, and the problem is not so much looking like a charger as all the damage up gear combinations are so ugly.
Yeah, I said it, come at me.

Lol! you aren't wrong haha, although I think most of my rapid blaster gear set is pretty fresh except for the octoling goggles...they're ok.
After a very meh weekend, leave it to picking up a charger of all things and being in a completely Japanese random turf room to finally give me a night of Splatoon where I'm not cursing out the cosmos and throwing things in frustration. I'm not a charger user at all but damn if pulling off counter-snipes or quick lineup shots isn't really satisfying.
I'm really looking forward to the Wasabi Splattershot, I think. I use the vanilla version quite often but still never seemed to figure out how to use the burst bomb rush effectively, and I've almost never touched the tentatek/octoshot due to a combination of not liking inkzooka and being a hipster who didn't want to use the weapon that seemed to dominate the meta back in the day. I think I'll like the variety of the wasabi's kit, although I'll miss the burst bomb as a sub quite a bit. I can probably transfer my SplatterPro gear set over and have it work decently well, to boot.
