It already has good mobility for its size and I had a few run speed ups on my gear yesterday. Felt really good to me for added strafing/dodging.

That feeling when you are hitting someone with glancing shots while running forward and you kill them with those final now critical range shots.

You clearly haven't seen some of the carbons i got as teammates during splatfest.
Ah ok nice, I figured so. It begs for more on foot mobility. I'm gonna try that out soonish. This weapon is easier to use then I thought.
1506 pts with it. New personal record. This thing is bonkers lmao.

There's s blue visor that gives run speed up I have it if you want it
Preach. :lol
nice, I'll check if I need it when I get home
I buy all the swag pretty much, even if I never wear it. except for splat-related abilities like quick spawn or special saver.
lol, it's always annoying to lose my swim speed main during splatfests. for this past one I was using the splinter cell looking night vision goggles to get my swim speed back.
charger suck
always sitting on their perches, never contributing to the team
they just don't get into the spirit of Turf Wars, if you know what I mean
Oh those are swim speed up? Neat, I haven't seen them in my store yet. Maybe I'll do that next splatfest instead of the amiibo hairclip
There's a specific word for players like that but I can't think of it right now

Half the stuff I buy because my 6 year old likes dressing up my inkling when I'm not playing lol

Damn that's good, which map was it?
Yeah, the majority of them aren't that good with their load out. I run with the Splat Charger with Sprinkler and Killer Wail. It would've been better if it came with the Echolocator, since it's useful for the team.
yeah I dug it. it looked pretty badass paired with the splatling gun.
haha that's awesome
Swim speed up is great. Played a match with 3 SSU mains and it was nuts coming from a ninja squid build. But mostly I just use it as a counter to the ninja squid speed nerf. For most of the weapons I play I feel that there are other perks that are more useful. I image it's great for rollers/ brushes though.

Anyone been having trouble connecting to Turf Wars in the last hour or so? I've never seen so many connection errors before I even get into a game before, and I'm using a wired connection, too...
Edit: nvm, seems to have cleared up...

I think the trajectory of the splatling gun "bullets" throws me off whenever I use that weapon, or the feeling of more limited verticality or whatever. on port I don't feel it much but I feel totally weird trying to use it on the skatepark.
yeah skatepark is a weird map for the splatling gun
although there are some great spots to post up behind cover and shoot over it
also you can hit the top of that center tower pretty easily which is always fun
what I've learned is to never go into the low ground without enough ink to use a splash wall
All weapons do barring the roller class, no?
Skatepark. Surprisingly I haven't gotten close to that score on ez money dome yet
Yeah it's just more effective with some more than others. If it's already a fairly light weapon then walk speed up will make it even faster but for heavier shooters and chargers it won't make much of a noticeable difference.
Ironically the heavy splatling doesn't count as a heavy shooter.
On the contrary, I think a carbon roller needs to rush to the point moreso than the average gun, cause once the long range shooters are there pushing the middle is much tougher for the carbon roller. If you get to the middle first then they have to come to you instead of the other way around.
Inkzooka is just for getting people on perches.
RE: Moray Towers
One of those maps that teaches you that sometimes you do need to ink the walls. It's fun to be the one to sneak into the enemy side and cover a whole lot before swimming away, but God is it painful to be on a team that's not aware of the climb up points and watching the other team overrun your side. There's only so much one squid can do!

That disconnect was total garbage =/
My favorite thing to do is rush directly at people using bomb rush or an inkzooka.
Breaking into the high floors of the enemy side on Moray Towers is the best.

I primarily use Squelchers, and today I tried out a .96 Gal for the first time. My God.

A few things I stumbled upon in other places.
A rather odd tower control glitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNdW1kYUXFs
My guess is the game at the point of the tower reaching the goal rewards the win to the team in control. Which can lead to rare instances of this. However in the only other known case of this was the same in that both sides had got the tower to 1 from the other.

Turns out if you've never played rank is displays nothing at all. Also it just had to be aerospray as well, didn't it (I know those users have a reputation in turf wars).

wtf? That's the 3rd connection unstable drop i've gotten today. What's going on?

It's liberating ain't it, being able to finish off your targets before you sleep and wake up
I still like the range on Jet Squelchers a lot though, I don't think I'll ever give that up.
My guess is its maybe a Race Condition
The game probably run the game engine and some system that interpret the events independently in parallel, and it decides who won simply by choosing the team on the tower in the moment when the ending condition is met
This would be a very basic mistake, I guess their team having exactly 1 distance left is what triggered the bug
I've gotten a lot of them today as well. It's getting pretty annoying.

I use it on blasters since I have to swim around to keep enemies in the sweet spot.
I don't feel it is useful for brush with my style. If I want to go fast, I run with brush out. Run speed is that I choose.
nah, it rotates every 4 hours like the maps. I think it repeats once a day though so the different time slots will have both modes in the span of 2 days. so for the 6pm - 10pm rotation it's splat zones, that means tomorrow from 6pm - 10pm it should be tower control.
or at least I think that's how it goes

I don't think I'd be able to adjust to the ink usage of the .96 or Splattershot Pro. I love being able to shoot ink at long range for like 10 seconds straight with the Dual Squelcher
Ah, I see. I've not played that much since they added the new mode so wasn't sure.
idk.. it looks very random to me lol
Also, with 4-hour rotation, its possible to have every mode, including rainmaker, exactly twice a day
I'm sorry... ._.

Yup, I never played ranked until the Luna Blaster came out so I had noticed that on my profile.

Close to the end of single player. Won't finish it tonight but I'm very close. 2 stages and the final boss are all that's left. Until today I had only completed enough for the Aerospray so I could not be a detriment to my team.
It's kind of fun but I really just want my Dynamo Rollers already... :X

just checked and I've got it, thanks though!
I've actually got a decent selection of run speed up stuff and my hero headset replica already has a run speed up sub
