Funny how early on I was rocking it with the splatling and after I took a break and came back I couldn't do jack shit.

I used to be a really aggressive roller. I became more cautious over time but never really got close to the point where I am now. It's a relatively recent phenomenon. No idea what triggered the change in me.
No idea at all.
Why is it an issue when you have Suction Bombs? =P

Because he's also the reason why I went back to the Splat Roller from the Krak-On. >______>

He's the best Sentry out of all of ChargerGAF IMO. So there you go. Fun to play against, honestly.

He has the honor of being the only person in Splatoon who has gotten me so frustrated I turned off my Wii U mid-match.
EDIT: Publicly I blamed lag but deep down inside I knew that the real reason he frustrated me is because he exposed how shitty I was. lol

You can still "try" it in the shop, you know.
Speaking of which, the bucket definitely has the most amusing animation. The others have them feign aiming or handling; the Slosher has "Yep, that's a bucket. Seems sturdy."

They have a larger blast radius than the normal bomb in exchange for a longer cooking time before popping.
They fuck shit up in tower mode

Yeah, that was not pleasant. Not at all.

It just means you were stuck with bad teammates. Don't worry about that letter.

That's not what it means.
I didn't start playing Ranked until very recently. Haven't played Ranked since achieving C+ on Sunday.
Use your burst bombs
With some weapons it can't be helped, but they usually have range to compensate.

Oooooh, that's what you were talking about that one day.
The animations in this game are just great.

Before I got my snails I planned to first use a couple of them to add a couple slots to the 1-star damage up shoes.
I used 16 snails. Then I remembered...

I don't think we have played together in a long time. Hope this weekend it can be rectified.

Lol nope not this time. My last batch had more success I think?You guys got lucky with your last batch of snails?
Spyke gave me almost everytime double subs, and got me some nice stealth goggles.

The last time I remember playing you as a Charger was when I was using the Squiffer at the mall. I don't know exactly how long ago that was. Maybe a month or so ago?
The most recent time was maybe a week ago when I was messing around with the Sploosh. It was Port and Walleye IIRC. I successfuly placed a beakon and had it absorb a shot from you at Port one time. =D

Speaking of port...
Port + Bluefin was possibly the worst rotation to test the Dynamo on and I never want to see such a garbage rotation again. I somehow ended up with a nice vibe meter from that nonsense but still... *salt*

Got a question for other aerospray users
Do you jump constantly when spreading ink? My own tests suggest you get a wider and longer ink spread if you're jumping, but I've watched both in game and YouTube and aerospray users seem to not jump when spraying
Am I alone in doing this? Am I doing it wrong?

I wonder if using these shoes over ink resistance is worth it? I have all the available ones but i'm not sure since i'm not a huge fan of the nuke green tentatek shoes and they're the only ones I can think of that have an affinity towards ink recovery.
I think I'd prefer playing in a lobby full of japanese players. Today, I've realize that majority of the English named players do not know how to play ranked bsttles. I'm willing to play in lag than with a team who has no idea how to play.
Yes, jumping does make your shots spread more (and make your aim inaccurate). Aerosprays tend not to jump because their weapon already spreads well so you'd make yourself an easy target. Also I think jumping and shooting is slower than shooting and walking for an aerospray, but I haven't tested it out.
The ranking system is flawed, it's too easy to maintain/get to A+ and then join lobbies with S players. I was watching closely one of my teammates play because he looked dodgy based on some of the decisions he made during the match. I wasn't surprised to see he had 1-12 in stats on tower control with a long ranged weapon! Jeesus. It's very painful to play right now.
Hahaha again a 1-10 player in my team. They have no sense of strategy, and these are the people supposedly equal to me. I got the openning 2 kills and pushed the tower to their side on kelp dome, but the other 3 fuck up against the remaining 2.

It wasn't, sorry. But you didn't miss much. Matchmaking threw us S teams and laggy S teams and just laggy whatever teams.
Maybe later? Playing squads keeps my self-confidence in check. I've come down 130 points since morning.

I usually wear Quick Respawn mains on both shoes and shirt for ranked, and save my Ink Resistance shoes for turf war. I don't think Quick Respawn makes a major difference in turf war battle outcomes most of the time.
It certainly feels that way
yep, it was up 16% that week
I'm pretty happy with my gear roll out for the bucket
Thanks, Spyke!
I want all of those
I've got 2 out 3 ink recovery up subs on my contacts

Man you guys are luck with the 3 same subs. At most I can only get 2.
I'm pretty happy with my gear roll out for the bucket

Nice, I cannot get 3 of the same. Wasted over 700k and 20 snails on the junkie.

I ordered those shoes from you last night. They lost 2 slots somewhere in transit between you and Spyke
