Tell me you ordered them

I wish I had. I think I just assumed it wouldn't let me.

But now someone else has to organize a match with 7 people and accomplish what I could not! For science (and marshmallows)!

So the other night I was playing a ranked battle with some people and we wound up playing 4 vs. 3 for one game-- but apparently when you do that, there's a generic 'player' squid that shows up in the rankings at the end of the game with 0 points despite not having been in the match.

And then I found that squid in my plaza!



the baffling part is that while the shirt is "no cloathing", the head is "arinomama" and the shoes are in japanese???

The japanese says ari no mama too, it means something like "the naked truth". Idk maybe they can't have 3 items with the same names so a programmer got creative.

I think the shoes say arinomama too. No idea what that means, though.

Ssjr vs the quicker rollers usually just comes down to who spots who first, since they share an optimal range. Unfortunately, rollers have the advantage of not really having to aim.

This is definitely not true because the only thing I have trouble with when using the Jr. are rollers. Even if I know they're coming, even if I start shooting and start hitting them first before they even come out of the ink, I will die if I don't retreat because at best I will get a mutual splat out of the deal. If you're in the cone of instant death nothing else matters

Edit: Not sure if this is a problem with the Jr., with rollers, or with the game greatly favouring laggers over people with good internet

In stead of deriding them for not teaming up with you, have you tried teaming up with them? Most of my big pushes come from a pair of us tackling guys who fall back alone to defend.

I teamed up with one of my guys only to watch him dive into the camps lake for a nice swim. I keep making trips back to base to chase off the enemy team spawncamping them but the moment I go try to reclaim turf all my teammates are getting camped once more.

I also noticed that my teammates all seem to be about level 5 while the other dudes are 27-30 so that might deal with it a bit.

I just wanna say that the player "James" is a good player, and I hope he accepts my friend request so he can also be my friend.

Anyway, went Team Marshmallow and won 7 matches against Hot Doggers, and won another two of three total against other mallowers.

Can't wait to totally get stomped on my way to rank 5 later today!

Thinks It's All Real
I couldn't win a loving match tonight on Team Hot Dog.

I am getting really pissed with this game... I have been playing like absolute poo poo since they did the update and ruined the Inkzooka. I used to use Carbon Roller with all my stats on quickly filling the special meter. It would give me the Inkzooka enough to actaully give my roller some range to splat people, yet the speed and coverage to lay down a bunch of ink. Now I feel like I can never get the special boosted up in time, so I have no defense one I reach midway up the map out the gate and encounter the other team.

I don't know... I felt like I had a good strategy down with that weapon, and now I have to start over again with building up new gear and finding something new I like.

I don't think I've ever seen so many people not leave spawn as tonight. I've probably seen 10 plus people (usually team marshmallow) just pick the minigun and sit on their spawn pad and whatever they could shoot that was it :confused:

Moray Towers is probably my least favorite map because of how hosed it gets when there's a good charger player present, but wow, I just had a match where everyone was using short range weapons and it was actually really fun and interesting. It's a shame it can't always be like that.

had one match with the enemy side just having one amazing player use a e-liter, and completely shut down the center choke point for the entirety of the match. The only times i got past i used a kraken, and both times it ran out before i even got close. There is just absoltuely no cover on this map and a good sniper is nearly impossible to stop.

The thing about the Moray is that there's very little actual cover. It's a wide open area comprised of essentially hallways, chargers can see everyone and reach far, while your movement options are limited. Even if you hope from walkway to walkway, the second you're in air, your trajectory is locked, making it easier for chargers to snipe you. The safest place may just be up in the enemies' tower. Assuming you can even get to it.

As an Aerospray user, I love Moray Towers in any mode. I just got done wrecking some marshmallows on the towers, and after the match I realized my entire team had Aerospray RGs. While the range is short, it seems like their coverage is quick enough to clear decent paths out of the way of enemy fire as well as covering walls for climbing.

Hey Team Hot Dog, I hope you enjoy that 85-1.9% victory you got after netcode caused two of team Marshmallow to drop. Antonio and I just threw up our hands at that point.

Ha. Earlier, I finished a match 2-0 for team Marshmallow. We just booyah-ed a lot back and forth and filled in the map as much as we could.

Good times.

There's been a constant string of disconnects which has made any chance of winning tough. 2 vs 4 just isn't fair. It's a slow road to Marshmallow King.

Welp, I've gotten in as much Splatting this Splatfest as I can. I had to leave for the airport after reaching Marshmallow Champion.

Operation: Stay up all night and Splat because gently caress waking up at 3 in the morning was a success! At least half my matches were against fellow Marshmallow enthusiasts and I won maybe 2/3 of my matches? It kinda blended together after awhile...

I broke tradition and used the Slosher instead of my trusty Krak-On Roller and did... about as well as I do with the Roller, really! That thing is very much my jam and I love it. I may have found my new main weapon!

Mixed day (especially when I'd finally get a Hot Dog opponent. Few of them but they seemed tougher). I must be rusty because the Dynamo feels a little different now somehow, like it "chains" differently. I want to try the slosher but I'm hoping they'll fix that leveling bug soon.
