I wish I liked the octobrush instantly- gotta play with it more but it just feels like a worse inkbrush to me. The swings for whatever reason feel a lot slower and the ink spread is super unreliable.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:

I think the swing rates are similar but the octobrush throws five globs of paint that are bigger and more damaging vs individual inkbrush globs. Maybe 50% more ink is layed down on the charge, but the run speed for the inkbrush is way better.

I can't say for sure for the time it takes a swing to complete Octobrush vs. Inkbrush. However, I can say the Octobrush has a much longer cooldown between swings vs. the Inkbrush. I can get 3-4 swings with the Inkbrush in the time it takes to get 2 with the Octobrush.

I have not been having good luck with teams tonight. Even my bad matches have had me at least skirting 700p, while everyone else on my team sits below me on the scoreboards. Even the ones with Splattershot Jr's.

I should not have reached Defender rank by losing ten consecutive matches, damnit.

team waterdogs, hold steadfast in your quest for not only salvation, but redemption from those who strike you as imbeciles. the day has come where we must continue to rise and fight a battle that has so clearly been handed to us on a silver platter. may our feast be deserving and delicious in the eyes of our doubters. may our barks be ones of highest yearning. may the blood of our enemies become one with the ink we so willingly dominate upon.

blessed are the dog days of victoria. blessed are the dog days.

Played a match where I carried ridiculously hard. As in, my team was consistently dipping into the danger zone and only pulling out because I was behind enemy lines spreading ink as fast as possible. Got up to 1200 points by the end of the match and felt like my team had managed to pull ahead for the win.

We lost by 0.1% :tizzy:

I think the octobrush is going to be way more useful on Moray Towers, but in general turf war I love sprinklers too much to give up the inkbrush. Chuck 'em on ceilings every chance you get, then splat people who're looking up at them trying to knock them off, it's just too good.

So I had a match where had enough time to ink the whole upper and lower enemy base on Bluefin Depot, took out the same the same charger twice, and even got 900p and 10 to 1 splats in the end. HOW THE HELL DID I STILL LOSE?WHAT WERE THE OTHER 3 TEAM MEMBERS DOING AT OUR BASE?

I had a wonderful run of games with a team where I was able to get a start-of-the-game booyah going. I am up to +8 against these water sliding scrubs.

Just one more thing!
Most water slides, one rides alone. Most rollercoasters are intended to be enjoyed by multiple people at the same time. Or at least that's the rationale I have behind multiple entire teams going after just me and letting me splat all of them at once.

Also wondering what some of my teammates are doing because I had a match where I went 8-2 at saltspray, got over 1k points and somehow we lost the match by a good 30%.

The thing is, the sponsored Splatfests have all been one company. You're going to get things like the McRib vs. McChicken, or Doritos Cool Ranch vs. Nacho Cheese.

Man, all of the guys on team waterslide have been level 20 and absolute murder with Krakens and I keep getting this level 2 guy who dies 8 times a match. I've gotten three kills in rapid succession and no one on my team following up. For gently caress's sake I play squiffer and I keep getting the second most turf painted while dudes with aerosprays get fourth how does that even loving happen.

I am sorry my roller coaster brothers, but I am cursed and have brought this down upon you. :negative:

Seriously though gently caress the guys in the warehouse who keep abusing the poo poo out of the Kraken special. I have never been so glad to be C ranked.

e: what I am saying is that I am glad there is no voice chat because I have called my team members things that are borderline illegal. Excellent catharsis but I would singlehandedly make everything toxic.
