The best team line-ups I've seen usually have at least two aerosprays (or similar weapon if they're good with it) and a roller. Then depending on the map either a charger/third rapid-fire gunman/second roller. As the roller guy I tend to stay behind inking side routes and charging up my Kraken and usually by the time I reach the fray I can activate it and mess some fools up. The worst thing is when you get a good line going straight away and some dick with a Splattershot follows behind me. You're not getting yourself any points you idiot, go shoot people in the face so I can come make huge waves on their side with no hassle.

Literally the only time I wish this game had voice communication is in the first two seconds of a match, just so I can say to people "I'll go left! You go right!"

Actually, I think you're to something. What if the map doled out areas of responsibility for the players in the beginning? That way everyone would instantly know which parts of their home turf they needed to ink.

The Carbon Roller was the roller that was supposed to be able to deflect incoming fire when swinging right?

The rollers and inkbrush already do this. Dunno if the carbon roller was supposed to be better at it.

ImageReady bundled with Photoshop CS2 does the job best so

Sometimes at the end of a Turf War I'll see people with kills listed but zero points scored. Did they disconnect or what?

We had a player this morning named Angel who went several rounds 0-5+ averaging 66 points a round. Team Cat, Team Dog? No my friends. Team  Like you feel bad because you just know it's a little kid trying to have some fun and he's getting destroyed.

That way everyone would instantly know which parts of their home turf they needed to ink. Doesn't need to be done by the computer. Actually, you could turn this into a great voiceless communication feature. Make it so if you tap a part of the map with no one on it, you create a little point on the map with a line going to your character, which means "I'm going to go here." So everyone sees a little line coming off your character leading to the place you've said you're going to go, and can get a quick sense of whether the team is spreading out or staying clustered. As the match is starting, everyone could tap a point on the map to give a rough indication of what their starting route will be. If someone's going the same way you are, you can instead tap somewhere else and hopefully having things worked out by the time the match begins.

Playing with friends, I met a player named Chaisaw. He stood in his own base never shooting his charger unless it was for a kill, inking nothing but going 50p every game with some kills but no deaths. Eventually we began body blocking him if he was on our team or specifically ignoring the match and killing him. It was great, he was furious. I didn't know you could give away how mad you are in Splatoon through character body language. On a side note, he was level 11. Must have been playing every second since launch.

I used to think I was doing pretty solid with a charger. 600-750p before the win bonus, usually a few splats, good area denial. Then I picked up an aerospray. On my first game I got 1300p post-win, splatted 12 guys. High point of the night was when I got my supercharge with three seconds left, activated my inkzooka and splatted the entire enemy team with one shot. Second highest point would be when the entire enemy team were rollers who had no idea what to do against the strat of "walk slowly backwards." Got 16 splats that time, including one who head-on'd a seeker mine twice. Everyone knows a full-roller team has a lot of problems, but nobody wants to be the one to give up their precious toy.

I find that generally players don't know how to deal with ink curtains. They'll stand there stupified while I shoot at them behind it. The smarter ones will usually retreat, which is fine when I'm trying to keep them out of range of the splat zone(s). Because of that I'm usually at the top of my team. Also need to show how ballin' I look - when I get back from work.

Yeah, the correct response is usually to chuck a bomb over it and skedaddle. Or maybe go around if there's friendly ink to do that in and it's not a corridor. The only thing I've found a bit annoying about inkwalls is that what happens when one gets thrown at you doesn't seem consistent. Sometimes it bumps me back as it lands, but sometimes it just lands behind me, and each of those of course calls for a different response.

The biggest distinguishing quality of a good team is good housekeeping. Making sure to ink your space so you actually have room to move and position and retreat is important, and the unifying element of most of the fuckup teams is they ignore huge patches of enemy ink for whatever reason, like I guess someone else will clean that up. It's not only making sure your team has space to move, but also closing off routes the enemy will take to flank you. It's like the middle ground between dandelion-picking teammates who paint every corner and the tunnel-vision superheroes who just assume someone else will do the mom work for them.
