There's no wall left to break with her around. Splatoon is here in reality.

Did you splat someone setting up a killer wail from behind and then swim straight into the killer wail? If not then you didn't die in every way possible. I did that once and it felt bad.
What if squids were real?
I've done that at least twice lol
Not this game but I did do that once

Exactly lol
I've done something maybe worse, killed someone from the front while they were firing off the killer wail, dodged to the side to avoid it, waited a few seconds, and then swam right back into it thinking it had disappeared when it still had like a second left

I did that during my first ever Elgato capture of my Splatoon gameplay, thereby immortalizing it forever.
If you mean a usb headset on pc, I would assume any headset recognized by windows would work.
I'm playing now if anyone wants to join. On discord also.
Heeeey, I win. Something. "1 of 21 prizes". If it's another Wii U, I will splat myself.

Welcome to my world.
That joke isn't in the EU localsiation
Did Marie just break the fourth wall?
. Speaking of which:
I've seen screenshots of Marie saying she likes the unerpass stage but that might be photoshop jokes.
Also Callie has started doing two liners where the second line auto loads, pretty annoying.

I didn't even realize this is a fourth wall joke right away because visibility fading into the distance is something that can happen in real life due to normal atmosphere, not just fog.
Holy shit, a Lost in Space gif.
Sure thing, we'll play some time. I'm offline now anyway.

At your spawn is the pro place to put beakons.
Opponents spawn.
I'm not even talking about close games where I think my team are trying...
...i'm talking about those games where they have backed you into a corner on the Skatepark and you can't move...
...those times when you killed 3 of 4 Inklings in Kelp Dome and have all your teammates there while dead...AND THEY STILL DON'T CAPTURE IT...
...or those times when 2 of your teammates are shooting at the other base...when the enemy are just running past them to the Splatzone...
...or those times when you are just sat watching the screen going:
I'm bringing back the classic:
Places that are annoying or hard for the enemy to get to. Putting in on a corner makes it safer to jump to and easier for the enemy to walk right past it without seeing it. Watch other beakon users and take their ideas if you see them put beakons somewhere you like and hadn't thought of before

Octobrush? I will personally inkbrush you down if you go that route, Azure. Betraying the inkbrush, how dare you. >=(
You know those places people rarely look at? Place beakons there. Yeah, I know, super helpful, right? What maps do you want to know about?
I tend to put them in little corners, and behind cover relative to where the enemy is likely to approach from. On the top of unclimbable ledges that the enemy can't easily get to, but behind some kind of cover so they can't shoot at it easily is usually good.
Man, I just love brush style gameplay but can't stand little aspects of the current Inkbrush. I'm just going to take things for what they are and try learning the current Octobrush so I have some fun ideas for using it as a weapon when Octo Noveau drops.
At the same time, this is also my chance to experiment with beakons, the only sub in the game I've never really done anything with.

I find it's the more aggressive version of the inkbrush, faster splats (due to more damage) can get you in and out of danger with a higher chance of success (and the kraken is your get-out-of-jail free card when your ambush/invasion goes sideways). The inkbrush is decidedly more defensive and geared more toward ink coverage over combat.
Some kind of Special Up / Fast Respawn perk combo is great for ranked mode, whereas I lean more toward Ink Saver Main / Cold Blooded / Ink Resistance in turf war.
As for beakons, the general rules apply for hard-to-reach places or places where an enemy is likely to run right past it if they aren't looking for the beakons on the map. One new spot I "discovered" recently is on Bluefin Depot in Tower Control, directly in front of the wooden wall in the left center where the opposing team hops down from their side. Shockingly, it's right in plain sight and completely unprotected, but a surprising number of players don't even notice it there (but stop using that spot when they finally see it). I say Tower Control is the only mode that makes it a good place, because the flow of battle doesn't give the enemy any incentive to look back. Also, it gives you a fast back door into the enemy base on respawn if your team is pushing the tower in from the other side of center.
EDIT: Also, I have yet to find a beakon spot that I really like on the new Urchin Underpass. The side areas are OK for Turf War, but I was experimenting with several different areas when I was squadding with you last week and they all seemed either too far from the action or too exposed to be useful.

Did anybody else see this on the reddit? https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/comments/3gf13i/that_feel_when_you_try_to_carry_your_team_but/
I didn't think it was possible to get that many kills and still lose but there ya go.

when the universe decides that you definitely shouldn't win a match. Looks like they were fighting a 3v4, his other two teammates were doing ok too
