Splatoon |OT4| You're a detriment to your squad

No clue, will have to try some orders in the next few days.

I have no idea. I just remember reading it somewhere and I think it was said to come from a guide or something. I tried to find a source, but I couldn't. I know that the Japanese wiki is at least more trustworthy than the English ones.
I hope you have like 1000 sea snails and some accounts across various level thresholds to test ;P Not that it's impossible for that information to be correct, just that I don't know how we should know any better.

Do keep the +300 win bonus in mind when calculating scores.
There will still be games that are true to what you're saying.
I've had five games in a row where my score was at least twice that of at least two of my teammates.
I'm less bothered about the final score as I am about the fact that I keep getting matched with teammates who can't breathe and shoot at the same time.

It's insane how fast some of these matches end. I had one where I went to the middle, got killed and the other team had already won haha.

I was doing so well for a while, then I got in disconnectland and eventually dropped a lot ;_;

Switched back to the vanilla dual squelcher for the first time since June and I'm now doing a lot better in Rainmaker. Splat bombs and echolocator are really useful in this mode

Also Red I swear to god I saw you swimming through my ink right in front of me

Tried a few different weapons in rainmaker but I feel like I have no control over the match when I'm not using something which can reliably break the rainmaker shield.

I'll be back later to stream and squad. Hopefully I'll wash the taste of Sendou's last bomb and everything gregtis out of my system. :lol

rainmaker has made me come back to the custom splattershot jr. it's a great weapon set for this mode

It was nice being able to switch to your stream right after the finish and see it from a completely new angle.

I personally find the blasters great on Rainmaker. I can't tell you how many times I killed the Rainmaker holder when he just got around a corner. PLUS, the individual shots can outweigh some splattershots DPS (damage-per-second) when breaking the shield.
 
I'm starting to wonder if the forge splattershot pro might be a good idea to use on rainmaker since having the point sensors might be enough to scare away people from trying to sneak up on ya. I'll have to try it later.

Lag? I started lagging in the last two matches I played.


You played a lot better today.

I remember it was on camp triggerfish, you were rushing toward our spawn while I was shooting at you. I could have just been missing but it really looked like you were swimming through my shots and ink towards me.

And yeah thanks I think so too. I was still doing stupid things like letting you kill me even when I knew exactly where you were hiding lol

If I'm remembering this fight you almost killed me but you just didn't lay down enough ink to stop me from swimming. I can swim through small patches of your ink, which is probably what you saw me doing. I get hit a lot when I rush people but if your shots aren't sustained I can power through it.

Honestly, while good for the other team, that last bomb was a bit anti-hype from your point of view.

Did I hear correctly that you were having some control stick issues?

I'm a little spooked after a previous incident that seemed to be dust collecting in the left control stick groove areas and recently seeing it drop face first out of a chair I was in. It hasn't given me anything for concern while playing, but seeing it react like that kinda scared me again. :lol

Good news is that the screen didn't crack.

My GamePad's been colliding with various padded chairs and sofas at high rates of speed lately and been fine outside of needing to Y-button re-center the camera view. I'm sure your pad is fine as long as the screen itself isn't damaged. :p

Hmm...post-tequila seems like a fine time to try and jump on for some ranked singles, you think? I bet this can only go well.
 
Hey guys how's it going?

I use it as my main weapon in rainmaker. I escort and defend. The Forge is great in general for splat zones as well, with point sensor. I don't bother with the sensor much in rainmaker. It is the range and power that excel in that mode.

Oh. Neat. My first ever "the connection is unstable" disconnect loss in ranked. While we were winning and I was driving ahead with the rainmaker.

Staring at my remote control, considering projectiling it into the TV screen. Doesn't seem quite worth it yet.

Same, I lost 14 points and we were ahead 19-74 -_-

I'm also up for squadding up. Right now I'm just leveling up an item or two in regular mode, but if anyone wants to go ranked lemme know.

Well I only wound up getting to play Rainmaker for about half an hour, but in that time I suppose I learned a few things. One, the mode is crazy and hectic and I enjoy it for that. Two...I'm definitely good enough at the game to be making it above water soon and I should have really been playing more ranked all along. Outside of the disconnect, there was one loss and like five or six wins, all by knockout except for one really close match. Even went 20:5 in the last game for a slight ego boost.

One thing that seems really typical in these lower-rank rooms is the single-mindedness of people when it comes to trying to break the rainmaker's shield without really considering what enemies might be around them. Holding off the shield-burst with fire just enough to get into a decent flanking position works out so well. I surprisingly like the escort mission dynamic of it, too (the first fun escort mission?!).
All in all, fun times. And I might've even repaired my previously-broken relationship with the splattershot.

Rainmaker >>>> splat zones

I like having to move something so much better than just camping around a couple spots.

Yeah, it's awesome. There were a couple times when a random player and I were on the same page, and I'd bust into kraken and he'd just follow in my wake to the goal while the other team either got splatted or ran away in fear.
 
Wow, I knew I hated Port and Blackbelly together but man, my gains from earlier were once again wiped out in a matter of minutes. From A+ 50 to A 58.

Finally hit S rank. Shoutouts to Walkman, Smashley, and Azure for helping me out.

Now to not play with randoms again for a long time. I'm sure I'll become greedy for S+ eventually though.
