lmao that's like 25 games minimum. Carry harder and if you lose like 4 times in a row stop playing for a couple hours or the day.

Is there any smell sweeter than seeing the jump-point of an incoming squid and sitting there with a charged sniper shot? People need to learn not to jump to the guy on point.

I really don't understand why people do this, without stealth jump or recon going in anywhere totally blind is really bad. Unless the map/death tracker indicates that everyone else is far away, you're basically flashing a big "shoot me" sign, especially on smaller stages like warehouse where it takes you all of six seconds to reach the middle.

I have seen people jump to me right near the spawn too for that matter. Why? It literally takes longer to charge and jump than it does to swim. Just because you can jump does not mean you should.

I'd probably do cold-blooded more if I ran melee in ranked. Ninja squid won't help you advance into the short range you need as easily, and you don't have as many defense options when someone uses eco, especially if you're a roller. You need the whole "can't find me because the whole floor's inked and I never stop moving/painting" thing to be effective and eco kills that.

This but Roller. I just got like four kills in a match from people jumping on top of me.

Speaking of being an rear end in a top hat with Roller, I played my first Splat Zone match today and I get the sense my Stealth Roller strategy is going to be very useful here.

I might need to switch to that too then - ninja squid has felt drat near useless lately

Ninja Squid is part of my tactic, but don't tell nobody. I send out a seeker down a straight line that's a lil off where people are rushing to and then I trail down it and blast them from behind. Then my team essentially camps near their base to see where they're going or cut them off before they get in range to splat again.

If the enemy team is dumb enough to not realize you're going to sneak down the obvious charger trail then you could of beaten them with anything equipped. Either that or its so out of the way you didn't need to have ninja squid equipped in the first place since nobody was looking at you.

VVV Ink is not a precious commodity. If the enemy team isn't firing a single shot to interrupt the ink trail then they're just being foolish. People following seeker ink trails is an obvious tactic and you don't even need ninja squid to do it.

People are way more concerned about covering their part of the splat zone to care about a stream of ink that they think was used to get a kill elsewhere. Ninja Squid makes me undetectable in the ink, if they saw even a bit of me flopping from not having it, they'd just axe me there.

It really is. You go into the B ranks, and you go from every game being a knockout to every game being a grueling five minute war of attrition.

If you're talking about the start of the game "you must be this fresh to buy from me" it's character level. Get it by playing multiplayer.
