It may not be the best sub weapon, but splatting people after you get splatted with the ink mine is the most satisfying thing.

Several times earlier today when I was under attack I just dropped an ink mine and went about my business. The mine killed my attacker(s) without me needing to pay any attention to them.

No I mean there was day approaching in the background of the maps in the last 15 or so minutes of Splatfest, in keeping with the "Splatfest is at night" theme.

To be honest, the special I can't cope with is bomb rush + suction bombs. All the other bombs are hot trash, but that combo fucks up the map and tilts the scores like nothing else.

Dude, I loving love going berserk Jihad Mode on Kelp Dome. Splat-o-Matic/Suction Bomb Rush, +Charge, Special Saver, +Duration is what I usually run for gear.

As soon as the game starts, spray and pray at spawn, then head to the ramp at the lower-right corner of the map. Your special should be charged by now, so you can bomb rush the whole lower-right corner from the top of the ramp and probably catch the poor fool trying to paint it unaware. Paint over the rest until your special is charged again, then bomb rush the center-right area. Recharge again, and bomb rush towards the enemy spawn, backing up and bombing the entrance to the center-right square if they're gunning for you. Assuming your team can catch on, you should've effectively pincered the enemy to poo poo with minimal effort. If you die to a random roller ninja, no big deal, just repeat and you'll negate whatever ground they recovered. Half the time the enemy team will fail to figure it out until it's too late, it's hilarious. Even if they do figure it out, chances are they won't be able to do much about it anyway because they lack the tools to counter it with their own bomb spam.

You'd think pubbies would've learned to carry something other than Krak-On Rollers/Aerospray/Splatterscope/<insert Inkstrike weapon here> by now, but welp :v:

EU Splatfest is still going on, so if anyone's going to be up for the last 15 minutes or so of that, they could get shots. I was busy splatting though and in a lobby when it ended, so I couldn't get shots in recon.

EDIT: Everyone's still wearing their cat and dog shirts in the lobby:

Cause its primary stat is damage. And primary stats are 3x more powerful than secondary.


As for the gasmask - I wear it cause I like having Jacket from Hotline Miami as my Inkling girl.

People with the bomb rush special tend to forget that they can shoot normally. If you can get up in their face it's usually an east splat.

The gas mask is dorky. It's the dorkiest headgear in the game. The black arrowbands (with the same ability) are thick-rimmed black glasses with a rubber strap and they're still less dorky than the gas mask.

There's a reason I sport the black arrow bands. Because they are a hell of a lot more fresh than that effing gas mask

The gasmask could be cool if people didn't wear it with the douche jacket every time and wore some kind of matching black top, but I think the ability is incredibly debatable if min/maxing is the goal.

Like Aerospray RG (suspiciously absent from the illustration)/Gasmask/Varsity Jacket/Blue Moto Boots has to be a third to a half of what I see people wearing in turf war and I have no idea why and it makes me a little angry because it's not even full-on minmaxing and there has to be some guide or a miiverse post or something telling everyone to wear it

Edit: I thought it was popular at first because of people cosplaying Captain N with the Zapper or something but I don't think that's it

Just had my first set of tower control games. Oh my god that is so fun.

You can rack up so many kills based solely on the fact that the enemy team doesn't suspect you'll jump off the tower to murder them. Also it seems to validate my use of the ink wall, which is always a plus.

As for the gas mask debate, I'm not about to let an influx of posers ruin gas masks for me. Plus I wear it with a black vest and get to feel like part of a tactical squid force.

I agree - but until I find a better mask it's my go-to for playing Inkline Miami.
