Look on the bright side.



I see more cat champions and kings/queens but I'm still sure dogs have this due to way more of them. I've had 6 games with me as the only cat against 4 dogs. Has anyone even seen that happen on the dog side?

Ugh, I'm missing the start of EU splatfest because I'm at work. I told my boss that out in the fields the fighting has begun, and that I don't want to miss a thing, but he just gave me a roundabout response and said he wasn't giving me money for nothing. I guess I'm just another brick in the wall to him. He's a devil, and I have no sympathy for him.

Oh well, in a couple of hours I'll have a ticket to ride, and after I bring it home I'll be sending all those pop fools to the stairway to heaven and showing them that we are the champions.

At least my choice of weapon is easy, because I'm a rocker, and I'm a roller too, honey

Splatfest is such a fun idea, it's going to be sad if it gets ruined by teams always being dramatically lopsided :(

Maybe they should auto-assign teams or something.

Too bad ink resistance got nerfed heavily! :shepicide:

Now its in a state where it doesn't provide enough of a mobility boost to be useful which defeats the whole point of the item.

Protip: It looks real fresh with the three star recon puffy jacket if you like to color coordinate.

I wish ink resistance was still good, but at least I discovered that bomb sniffer is good because of the nerf.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Had some trouble getting my footing early on, was about 50/50 through Dog Champion. Won all the way through to Dog King, though -- my win streak is now 31

Tip for team dog: by all means, keep doing that silly thing where you drop an inkstrike right in front of the cat spawnpoint early in the match. I bet it'll start working soon.

I decided to go with Team Pop rather than Team Rock since it's far cooler a choice, and no doubt Pop will lose since most people chose Rock like the uncultured swine they are.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I just had a 15-win streak before I decided to take a break. If anyone here is .(just a dot), *Nixon* or Chris, y'all are the freshest cats I've run with.

Two gold Inksprays, a normal Inkspray and a .52 or .96 Gal (whichever one has splash wall). We just got completely in sync, all playing aggressive and covering each other. Dropping Inkstrikes aimed to flush guys into teammates' fire, all taking advantage of .'s splash walls for cover, and generally owning the fact that we'd played 15 games together and could sync up well while the dogs played like they were a fresh group each time, charging solo and such.

My favorite moment, a little one, would be when two people jumped to my position on the front lines so I charged forward to push the dogs away from their landing point. I splatted, but I bought enough time for . to drop a splash wall to cover their landing. Seriously, those great wall placements were the unsung hero of the entire streak, he was great at aiming them.

Splatfest owns. I went undefeated through the first two ranks with the same group of four the entire time. The only matches we came close to losing were Dog v Dog matches. Team dog rules god bless America

I can attest to this, it's pretty obvious most people would pile onto Rock because it's "cooler" leaving us Pop fans in the dust.

This is what I think people initially miss about Inkstrikes. They are, seemingly paradoxically, excellent for splats in Turf War and excellent for territory in Splat Zones.

Not really sure what they're good for yet in Tower Control.

31/13 W/L on my road to becoming a glorious Cat godking, like in Egypt or some poo poo. Didn't get any cat/cat matches as far as I could tell, but the cats were consistently better players. Depending on how the points are distributed in the final tally, I'm fairly confident in feline victory.

Alternating between the Jr and Tentatek was most comfortable for me. Means you probably won't be pulling 1k+ points, but you can contribute kills/shut down Aerosprays.
