And then it happened. I clearly need to start saying that out loud more frequently.
I'm trying to figure out if this is the voice clip that sounds like "fruity!" to me or not...
My earlier squad of A-/B+/B-/B- had a serious chance of beating an all S squad had it not been for their dynamo roller. Dude just kept showing up right when I thought it was safe
I know. We didn't do that bad last match. I think we need at least two teammates to set up beacons. Takes some pressure of your shoulders. Roller and Splattershot are my two favorites weapons with beacons but idk if I want to try sometime I haven't used as much in ranked matches.
That was seriously one of the most satisfying wins I've had playing Splatoon. Holy shit.
S Ranked Japanese team, mostly all Level 35+, with a Level 39 Dynamo Roller who went 18-10 and we made it to 20 in Overtime on Camp Triggerfish. Right at the end we kept spawning on the Tower and robotguy made a few key splats right where the tower starts going up to their spawn to get them from taking the tower.
Total team effort at the end.
GGs Jahra, robotguy, time2krill.

Right there with you!
Yeah, that was so sweet. That Roller was annoying as hell.
I'm getting better at getting my splash walls to stay on the platform.

I got the fresh headphones with my rockenberg black shirt with the blue Moro boots. That combo gave me 2 attack up (1 main + 3 subs) run speed up, ink saver main and special duration up.
I should try it sometime and see how it goes.

Yea, I won against your team in tower control at moray towers D: I feel the same man, I hate disconnecting in rank today, especially when it's squad where you can't gain points but lose for disconnecting. but at least it's only 2 points lost. On the other hand tho, I only gain 3 or 5 points after every win >__>
Yeah good point. I went a little too aggro for a moment there and ended up dying really early. Still got the win though.
Yeah, that was nuts. I was pretty unhappy that I was on the left side when that was all going down. Didn't think I would be useful, but then they all decided to camp the ledge, which was in my range and line of sight sooo...I got them.
Also, you're right that it was hard for me to effectively balance the beakons and combat in those matches. They were so intense that I couldn't give enough time to checking and maintaining good beakon presence and help out on combat at the same time. I think usually I would start out with good beakon work and then it would deteriorate over the course of the match as I felt I had to help out with combat more. Also, due to the split nature of Triggerfish specifically it can be pretty hard to maintain beakon presence on both halves of the match.

So on tower control, I'm starting to feel like if you have a splash wall user you can keep blaster users at bay a bit better than just hoping the post blocks their shots.
I find it pretty tricky to get the splash wall on the tower. Even harder to get it where I want it on the tower. lol.

Even if you can't get it on there a few blocked shots is enough to throw somebody off just enough to get the counter splat. Or in my case the blaster who got me ended up falling off the tower and into my wall killing him too

The wall bounce trick is always useful, I can ride the tower alone to 30 in some maps. Also it's the ultimate weapon in port.
On Walleye Warehouse? Yeah he was coming from the sides where they had placed beacons. I didn't realize until he came up behind me and splatted me halfway through the match giving them the zone. Caught on to him though after that.
Damnit that last match on Walleye Warehouse. I pushed to their sniper spot, was focused on the zone and the roller somehow got me. I splat him we win that match.

I always hate that one player who can always splat you no matter what you do to get em.

So apparently the Nintendo world store has some concept art on the walls including this one:
Hopefully someone gets better pictures.
The rabbits look wrong. I think it is their thin limbs.
Hopefully someone gets better pictures.
Huh that's interesting. I don't remember rabbits being a part of the dev cycle for this game in the Iwata asks.

Ahahaha just saw a roller lag so hard that I saw him running through the same corridor 4 times in a row having no clue where to aim or do.
This just came to me -- If Nintendo adds playable Octolings as DLC, their 'Kraken' form shouldn't be considered the 'Kraken' since the Kraken itself is a mythological sea creature who's appearance is attributed to the Giant Squid. As we know, Ocotolings are octopi, not squids, so the name doesn't jive for obvious reasons.
So what should we call the Octoling's 'Kraken' form? I think the only name that makes any since is 'Cthulhu', as he looks like a freaking massive Octopus. Also, it creates a theme of bad ass mythological creatures serving as specials/power-ups. Any suggestions for this potential problem Nintendo may be facing?

Same man. It's been real. GGs everyone!

You aren't in Discord, are you? Besides asking here, asking there too could help.

I think it'd be okay if they reused the Kraken name for Octolings, hopefully their transformed form with be more octopus like than squid like. If they have to utilize a different name, maybe Leviathan would work?

It's a voice and text app for people who play games.
Yeah, but we have concept art for it now.
