I'm stuck at B+. There seem to be a lot of people who made it to B+ by dicking around the edges filling up their nearly worthless inskstrikes the entire game, but they sure as gently caress aren't helping me get past B+. I can't stand seeing the countdown to losing at like five seconds and people are still driving around or standing back in safe ink instead of jumping in there and shooting like crazy hoping to gain control for just long enough for their team to get there. Who the gently caress are these people?

Do rollers need an adjustment to anyone else? I'm getting 15+ kills/sub-5 deaths in every match and I can kill snipers with the dynamo roller even when my aim is sloppy.

It's a little harder in ranked because the ground isn't totally covered for stealth, but still.

Do you automatically wear the splatfest tee during splatfest games?
Like, if I don't care about the main ability, should I bother leveling it up, since it's just going to disappear after the 'fest?

Yeah, I've had more than a couple B+ matches today where people on either my team or the enemies would spend more time inking the separate platform on Saltspray Rig while the other's timer was ticking out than actually trying to take the zone. It was weird, we'd just be sitting there waiting for something to happen, and just watching them run around literally everywhere else but where they needed to be.

Jumpted straight from B- to B with only one loss that wasnt even knockout. very few instances of trading kills, and no drop outs. If youre having connections issues, get a lan adaptor.

Whatever you like the look of. But if looks don't matter, ink resistance up and recon/stealth jump are both great, along with an ink saver or two sub ability.

If you're not using motion controls already, use them. It'll be a little awkward at at first but it allows you to aim much more quickly.

Yeah the wiki is irredeemably hosed up and I let it confuse me. The Red Hi-Top page has a picture of Hi-Horses and somehow that overrode the memory of what Hi-Tops look like. I've only got Cream and Red though.

They're not real. That wiki is garbage.
This wiki is pretty good: http://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/List_of_gear_in_Splatoon
It has images of all the gear and lists items with their name from both the US and EU versions of the game. I wonder how the Jungle and Safari hats switched names between the versions.

My blade is unBENDING!

It's possible they're normally a roller or something. My specialty is the Splash-o-Matic (though early levels it was the krak-on roller) and I tried a sniper around level 14 and did terribly. It really was like 200 points and maybe 1 kill. I felt so bad for the rest of my team, but you can't really get better by practicing in the testing area.

what do you mean that hotkey disappeared
Well, I caved and did some more Ranked for more cash because I wanted store clothes. Didn't really go anywhere from where I was.

In tonight's experience though, I feel like I was vindicated in my earlier opinions of the Carbon Roller. A couple that I saw online were going batshit crazy all over the map, capturing Splat Zones with no trouble at all and wreaking havoc on anyone they got near. Their trading off roll strength for speed is actually pretty powerful, especially if they've got some Special Charge Ups, since with that roll speed they're going to be pulling out Inkzookas pretty often.

I'm actually pretty excited for the Carbon Roller Deco now, because if the vanilla Carbon Roller is any indication, Seeker Bomb Rush is going to be a constant threat and it is going to be glorious. Even the regular Seeker is mean because you can Ninja Squid Seekerswim with it and instagib anyone who dodges it with the roller flick.
