Ranked mode is a joke.
The joke is made funny by 3100 cash per knockout at rank B.

I was at B- but then a string of disconnects over two days has set me back at C since it punishes everyone for some reason.

The NES zapper is the best weapon in this game holy poo poo. I was doing okay with the splatter shot jr. and the kraken, but this zapper is righteous! I am regularly at the top of my team with loads of points and kills. :D

I really like how I only get +8 points per win at B- but when I lose i lose 10. When I was C+ I was earning 12 and losing 10. that's balls. Also getting 0 points on loss is also balls.

B- is +10/-10. There's a small modifier based on enemy team grades so if you got 8 from winning you were winning from a team that was half C rank dudes. Likewise, if you had lost those you would have lost 12 points.

I know this is a few pages back, but this is important: if Japan is getting rice/bread shirts, does that mean the US is getting cat/dog shirts? Can Spike mug a dog shirt for me?

Even more important, if I see a European player, will Spike mug me a rock/punk shirt?

Info about the Splatfest tees from the guide:

Prima's Splatoon Guide posted:

During Splatfest, your clothing is replaced by a Splatfest Tee and you are unable to change it. The Splatfest Tee for both teams has identical stats, so you don't have to worry about choosing a team based on which Splatfest Tee is better. After voting for a team, you can equip your Splatfest Tee. After Splatfest ends, the Splatfest Tee is removed from your inventory.

So Spike can't mug a shirt for you because everyone will get a temporary one.

I think you'd be better off running recon rather than ninja squid with the brush. Jumping back to base for precision ink strikes would probably be extremely strong.

This is an ingenious idea and gives a lot more utility to recon, woah.

I've done this and it is really effective. It pairs well with Stealth Jump for ranked battles so you can get back to the action.

Go to the kettle for 19 and take the fan platform over to the ink relay thing. Go up that, then squid mode to the platform beneath where you end up, and its right there.

E: also charger turf war tip: if you aren't going for kills just keep shooting at half charge. It's almost as much turf covered but half the time and effort.

I have the music stuck in my head all the time, specifically the bit just before the round ends, that build up. Trying to sleep while it's playing in a loop in your head :cry:.

I've discovered something called The Multiple Roller Paradox. The more rollers there are on a team, the less your home turf gets inked, as each makes a beeline for the enemy side while assuming the others will take care of it.

I dunno. I think you can upload directly to imgur through the wiiu browser, so that might be easiest for whoever wants to contribute. Dth at flyingtrireme dot com, or through the form linked to on the gear Web page.

So getting your timer down to one second and having the opposing team take over and win through overtime is the most infuriating thing ever.

It scales based on the combined ranks of the teams. So if your team is all C+ and theirs is all B-, you lose less for a loss.
