Also a video shows the brush attacking another player with melee and the other player just kind of shrugs it off like whatever. Just a bad feeling that tonights gonna be a mess (ink joke) with everyone using it and not accomplishing much. Look who was completely right lmao. I had similar predictions and was paid back in cold hard points for like an hour and a half.

I would like to think it has potential and most people just suck with it. Its the one weapon that basically lets you move at swim speed through enemy ink.

The brush has a high skill ceiling, given how fast you can swing it and the fact that you can technically cut through enemy ink to get close enough and immediately start swinging. The weapon is good but you have to know what you're doing, and build a gigantic muscled finger to fire quickly with.

The weapon is good but you have to know what you're doing, and build a gigantic muscled finger to fire quickly with. It's really easy to track a paint brush user, though. They leave a very distinct trail behind and just simply don't do enough damage fast enough for them to be a significant threat. At best I just usually see them sneaking behind enemy lines and spreading paint everywhere if the enemy team is oblivious enough and more often than not just dying in tandem to their killer. It mostly just seems like a weapon best used for harassment of the enemy or support for your teammates.

When you use the paintbrush don't lay down paint with the running streak, you swipe a bunch of times and paint a HUGE pool of ink to hide in, refresh and paint another huge swath. The hold-down roll gets you in and out of danger quickly but most of what you're gonna want to do is swinging your paintbrush in short quick bursts. You use it basically in an entirely different way from the roller to get the most out of it. It's actually very good, and fun.

Also the fact that its sub is the sprinkler is a godsend. You can build inkstrike faster than any other kit I am aware of.

I've already begun to see some good ninja brushers in Turf War, and a common thread between them is basically a general lack of evidence that they're even there up until you're dead and suddenly a large chunk of the map's been inkstruck. So I'm willing to wager they've been doing what Reiley's suggesting. Also they were all JP because of when I'm actually available to play. I'm guessing the inkbrush relies pretty heavily on its kit, it just happens to have an all-around good sub and super for getting ink on the ground.

Literally all you hold the brush down for is for getting out of bad spots. Instead just use the rapid fire swing to spread ink and swim forward through it. Also the brush when used properly builds an assload of specials so be prepared to rain inkstrikes down on sniper spots on a regular basis. So far I think I am in love with the thing. EDIT: Like, whenever I see other people on my team using it I get why people think it is bad, but that is because they are using it as if it were another roller.

There are basically only two times you really want to use the brush's line: -The very start of the match, to race and claim a key position. -When you're more concerned about travelling quickly through enemy ink than covering it up (generally more of a Splat Zone kind of situation) The inkbrush can get to the back of Saltspray Rig faster than anything else, splat paint all over the top of the "speedbump" there, and then have the jump on the enemy when they make their own, much slower approach. If a teammate with a gun rides your trail to tag along up there, or jumps up to join you, then so much the better!

Well I just had a hell of a Ranked match. Started off okay and then I notice suddenly all three teammates aren't respawning. gently caress. Fortunately, they lost two of theirs as well. I didn't manage a win, but by god I denied them a Knockout at 57 to 43  .

After playing a bit more Ranked I kinda think that the only map that really works well in Splat Zones is Port Mackerel. Having to control two spots on the map really helps make it feel much more in line with how Turf War plays.

Last night I was matched with a competent team for 6 splat zone battles in a row. Was nice to get knockouts in the minimum amount of time for a change; I had been getting slaughtered while on teams filled with bozos. Finally got my rank up to C+!

June 20th (Sat) 6AM PT - June 21st (Sun) 6AM PT Date of first Splatfest. Probably accompanied with a new mode and other goodies, other ones are to be announced later down the line. Nintendo wants this game to have a living community and intends to pump these things our periodically. Edit: To help team dog lets get some advice from our favorite advice-giving cat.  ...

I would've thought the average player would be better once I got to B-. Instead I got three separate teams of players who actively ignored a single Splat Charger ruining their day  .

My team had one sniper all three games (that I played) who was putting in work, but once he was on the other team, I got 6 kills off of him because he's just not that good of a shot. He was using the width of of alleyways and estimated where people would be coming in.

Also in regards to splatfest, some people have found placeholder spots for more music tracks while ripping the game. It's highly speculated from music heard in the Nintendo Direct that Splatfest will also add some girth to the music in Splatoon. Get specifically ready for more Squid Sisters songs.

And if we don't have Squid Beatz and want it but that blasted amiibo is sold out everywhere? *grumbles* I hope Nintendo does a reprint or at least puts out another squid amiibo in a different color so that the 3-pack people can have their exclusive green, and the rest of us can have...I dunno, purple or turquoise or something. Never thought I'd care so much about stupid plastic figures.

I think it's pretty obvious why the Inkbrush garnered so much hate so quickly: it's a support weapon, and entire teams were using it at once. A team composed of nothing but supporting classes is going to be at odds with each other more than the opposing team. There's also that people were using it as a Roller, while it's been stated in pretty much every bit of official material related to it - including the game itself - that it's different from regular Rollers. I played a couple of rounds with it and I can already see the good points of it: >The "rolling" aspect of the Inkbrush isn't meant to run people over, it's to move around the stage quick and unimpeded. You trace a quick and neat trail even through enemy ink, so you can go pretty much anywhere you want, and it also functions as a path for your teammates to use. >Mashing the fire button to fling ink around can cover up areas surprisingly fast, especially since its swing speed is insane. This is how you ink up turf with the Inkbrush; it's better treated as a Shooter as if it were fired through button mashing. >Four or five flicks will kill. This isn't just doom for anyone stupid enough to get close to you, but it also counters opposing Rollers because it's a ranged attack and can outspeed their own flick attack if you button mash fast enough. >You've got the Sprinkler with it. The Sprinkler is always a plus. >Inkstrikes normally take a while to charge up, but between the Inkbrush's quickflicks and the Sprinkler covering whole areas, you will fill that charge meter very quickly. Use this advantage to rain missiles all over the enemy team. If you're using the Inkbrush, your job is to throw quickflicks, Sprinklers and Inkstrikes all over the place to keep the Bad Guys distracted so your team can blindside them, and occasionally paint a quick path for them to swim along to get to the action quickly. Once people realize it's not a typical Roller and stop fishing for kills with it, I'm sure their opinions of it will improve. IMO I think this thing would go loving great with Ninja Squid and a fuckton of Special Charge Ups. SL the Pyro fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Jun 6, 2015 |
