lol i was looking for pics like these a few weeks ago and couldnt find any!
need more!
It's far more likely in the lower ranks. Definitely had something similar happen to me when I was in a B lobby. Also far more likely to happen in tower control.

I know the feeling man
I had a match near when TC first came out when I was 22/10 and my teammates were 3/10, 3/11, and 3/11. So, about 2.4X as many kills as the rest of my team combined with no more deaths. Thanks guys.
Granted I probably should have played safer and died less, but it's hard to play safe when your teammates aren't getting any kills.
Oh please, it takes a +5 net wins to get out of C+. There MAY be games in which you played well but still lost. Lingering on such games, however, will retard your growth as a player. And that C+ player certainly has room for growth.

Beakons are the best ;D which map you want to know where to place them for now?

44/45 Amiibo challenges done and I fail the last Roller boss fight during the final octoball ping-pong battle.
Feels bad.
Feels bad.
I'm on the final battle for both the roller and charger, having completing the squid's challenges entirely. I haven't attempted either since early June. I should really go back and apply my experience to them now and see how I do.

Whoever GAF Lundi is, sorry for being absolute garbage in that Arowana Turf Wars just now. For some reason I'm getting really extreme lag tonight, like I'm watching rollers stand still, then they teleport halfway across the map, tons of enemy ink pops in and I suddenly explode. I even had one of my mines explode, then 4-5 seconds later a dude walks over where it used to be and randomly dies.

They seemed easy to me after I did the squid ones

Yeah, I found the Squid challenges to be the most difficult but the final battle was the easiest since you could spam Kraken for invincibility throughout

limited ink was the hardest thing for me.

Honestly it isn't a difficult transition to make, it's just a more combat orientated brush that is shitty at spreading ink. The same tactics as the IB work fine, play sneaky, take control of key areas, paint everything in that area so you have plenty of mobility, then hide and ambush people that try to get close. Always keep your kraken charged as well, it's very useful if the enemy groups up to take you out since you can jump down to kill one and then kraken to charge after the others that have no doubt closed in for a "free kill". And always keep the high ground if possible, jumping onto the enemy and flailing like a madman is the best way to get a kill against high power weapons since they rarely can react in time.
A good example of where you can pull some ridiculous shenanigans with the Octobrush is the middle of Kelp Dome, climb the middle, ink everything around, hide, then jump down and flail at anyone who tries to get near the tower. If they come from the walkways instead jump down, go around the tower a bit, swim straight back up and smack them as they are looking around for you. Just make sure you have plenty of room to swim and they don't. Bluefin is another good one, take control of one side, ink on top of the little walls under the bridge and then just swim up and over them when an enemy approaches so you can jump at them flailing wildly.
Good beacon locations? In high traffic locations behind walls and objects on your side of the map so the enemy doesn't see them. On maps like Bluefin with two sides to defend I also like to have 1 down on each side so I can quickly jump to whichever side needs help. Also don't underestimate placing them in big open areas as decoys, most players are stupid and when inking a path forwards they'll focus on the beacon rather than checking their surroundings, giving you a chance to pop out and whack them. Camp Triggerfish is wonderful for pulling that little trick.
Nope, i'm done for the night.
Not getting that Stealth Helmet or 18K Aviators today.
There is only so many times I can give my all to my team before I realise 5 loses ina row is not my fault.
I singlehandedly got the point to get us to 2 points left...only for them to steamroll and get from 100 to 0 without contest...

Maybe this is why I can't get S rank.
I have no idea what's going on with the ranking system now TBH.

Is that what's going on? It was driving me crazy yesterday trying to figure out why everyone on my team was getting more but losing less points than me :/
On a lighter note I'm still finding new neat little details in the game. I just noticed that there's a specific animation that gets triggered when you bump into another inkling in the plaza along with a very subtle DoF effect when you pass the camera in a way that puts another inkling in your foreground. Why would they even spend the time programming these tiny details :lol

God, I love playing against snipers in Turf War.
If my team is even halfway decent it's like a guaranteed victory for me.

Only against bad chargers
I just need to connect the headset to the smartphone, yes?
haven't tried yet but I guess it could work.

I guess? I frequently see a charger with a huge k/d in turf war but they lose because they're not really helping their team with the objective. They simply don't ink enough.

Went down to C6. Now I'm at C+ though, thanks Crisium. <3
Hence bad chargers.
A good charger holds the point and allows their team to cover/go in and cover. If the charger is forced to ink (a task that while not hard is very time consuming), someone is not pulling their weight on the stage.
I regularly get in the 800s with my charger
we can do two man. Its easier to coordinate in discord .
you should watch ink or sink turf war vods. There is very little use for inking speed. Almost every match played out like a splat zones match.
I have not found this to be true at all. On my way to S, I always got the same 10/12 points. It is just that now we have a larger spread. I haven't been keeping track, but I sense that S rank is weighted more than other ranks, meaning if you have one on your team, there is a larger penalty than for other ranks.
Can confirm. Having Sendou on our team to hold down territory was a huge help. I barely had to fight.
Edit: Hell, one of the teams that's made it to the third round is playing a 2 charger squad.

Why are the amiibo minigames not up on the store for 5 bucks or something? :l
I mean I want the figures too, but 70+ bucks? Fuck Amiibo

just buy them unboxed on ebay. use thme and sell them for the same price.
I'm sure someone is willing to do a lending or temp exchange. You can do them in one go for the most part.

Got links for any good matches?
Picked this game up. Tried it out with a friend in casual mode last night and today tried to go online and get into some matches. I've tested and obtained speeds of 130 Mbps down and 15-20 Mbps up (Comcast) and the wireless route is literally 10 inches away from my Wii U.
I was only able to play 3/6 matches due to "UNSTABLE CONNECTION" with two of the errors terminating the match as time ran out.
Please tell me this isn't how this game has been all along? I'd heard such good things about it and as it stands, it's unplayable online for me right now.

woah, those are some crazy comcast speeds
fwiw I've put in like 250 hours and I rarely have connection issues
this is on 20mbps down/5mbps up internet, I am wired though

Firstly get wired (Wii U wireless can be that bad) but "the connection is unstable" problem is something a few of us have experienced since the v2.0.0 update. There is no known fix. It is something the patch did and hopefully another patch will fix it.
But the fact someone who is on a 130/20 connection is getting it brings me hope that it isn't the fact I'm on 6/0.45 that is the problem (certainly wasn't pre-v2.0.0). Still 50:50 is a lot better than my luck.
I'm on wired too for all the people saying that would fix it. Only a problem with this game so doubt it is the adapter.
