I don't even know what the mechanic is. What is it exactly/how do you do it? I'm assuming it's like Battlefield style spawning.

Look at your gamepad and you can see the positions of all your teammates.
On the right hand side are your 3 teammates. If you tap on their name you will jump to them.
If they have an X on their name, they're dead.

Try and have a quick half second look at your squidmates surroundings before you jump.
Encroaching opposition ink colour rapidly gaining on your squidmate? Bad idea.
Squidmate by himself and kicking arse, and his ink isn't being coloured over? Good idea.

How is the latency for this game? Is it going to take some time to make it really polished or are lag problems mostly your SP's fault?

Unless you have a bubble ready to go, in which case you can turn the tide as soon as you land.
Or if you have the ninja jump ability, then you might at least get the drop on someone because they won't see you coming.
Also if you have the inkstrike you could drop it on that location to scatter/splat the enemies before you jump in.

Are you talking about when you're 3/4 of the way through a jump and transform back into a kid, then you press ZR to get the initial blast out of the way, land and your roller is ready to rock and roll straight away?
Because I have done that a few times and it is the best

Pro move: setting off an inkstrike in enemy territory at the last second and watching the results map change in your favour after play has ended, your opponents powerless.

Can't touch this.
No really, you can't
Splattershot Jr is a really amazing weapon. Squiffer has the most potential of the chargers IMO (kelp charger is maybe a close second). Basically any weapon with the bubbler super is really really good.

Just made level 10 today. That's the last match I'll get to play til tomorrow night. :( At least I'll be ready to rock when ranked opens tomorrow or monday.

Squiffer's sub is the splat bomb (the pyramid-shaped one) and the super's the bubbler, yeah. It's a hell of an area denial weapon and a lot more versatile than most of the other chargers.

The one I'm talking about has the point sensor, what does that do?

edit: I'm talking about the classic squiffer.

It just occurred to me that if someone is completely dominating within a group this encourages them to get out and cash in, and they might be matched with other people when they come back.

You can get a bonus once every time they change the maps, so about every four hours.

Its the ranked mode. Essentially a big rectangle or some squares in the middle of the map need to be painted by your team. When you control the zone your timer ticks down. At zero you win.

E: You also get a penalty timer when you lose the zone too. I dont think that counts towards the final score if ithe match ends early or whatever. Also I think the rounds are longer.

E2: August we get another ranked mode that is basically TF2 payload and something called ~rainmaker~?

Not only this, but I believe your bonus status resets to zero when the maps change. This morning I was going to exit the lobby and get my bonus, but the maps changed RIGHT as I was going to do so and I went back to 0.0. :argh:

God yes, that's the best. Even better is noticing they have two other people jumping to them, stomping the first guy, giving you just enough special charge to activate Kraken and wasting the other two right when they land.

We got our butts handed to us in the end, but pulling that off totally sold me on the Krak-On Roller.
