I kinda hope they're waiting to roll that out as a big event. Maybe like a New Year's thing.

I figure they're saving that for the Final Splatfest when they finally put the game to bed.

I don't know what games people are playing where the bottom of the roster isn't haunted by aerosprays, carbon rollers, splatershot jrs etc, all struggling to score more tham a couple hundred points.

I rarely score under 1000 points with the aerospray, it just shoots so much goddamn ink it's impossible not to get super high scores. For me at least.

I use it when I want to quickly level up new gear slots, and they're almost always 1000 point games win or lose.

Yeah, that was my point. These are incredible weapons capable of spreading a lot of ink, and people still manage to gently caress it up.

I just thought that there'd be an enormous pooling of one candidate over another, and the devs would need to animate, script and roll out Callie/Marie balling her eyes out because she's the unpopular one.

Then she'd cut off all of her hair in apology to her fans and dehumanise herself on television to preserve(?) the brand Wait, wrong depressing idol scenario.

What people usually do now for rolls is to back up their save (which is pretty ridiculous, as it includes the game data including updates, on an encrypted drive or something that can only be used on that WiiU) right before it gets up and then level up on a map so you're just dealing with 1 instead of 3 consecutive. There's also some chance (tied to level?) that Spyke will charge you more and it'll keep the abilities on the gear you order, so you can try to befriend or whatever somebody that has gear like that. You can reorder gear you already have to redo the leveling thing, too. It's all super unfresh.

For those who are wondering about all the close ranged weapons I swear you must be talking about turf war IE: scrub mode. Ranked is a different beast, the short ranged weapons like that are used by sneaky mother fuckers who know their role and do just file unless the map/mode setup really unfavors them dramatically. I had some smart assed carbon rollers this morning having their moments splatting 2-3 people in rainmaker for every 2 time they just ate it and got splatted.

Be S rank or STFU really.

people in ranked modes are exactly as stupid as people in turf war, if not moreso. "yes thank you for inking the enemy's spawn point, maybe now you'd like to come over and get them off the tower?"

Exactly how I feel about chargers. Either they're brain dead wastes of space (your team) or rear end in a top hat with precise aim that lockdown huge chunks of the map with nothing you can do about it (other team).

I never thought my next favorite multiplayer shooter would be on a Nintendo console, the only thing I can do without is how you have to roll for the sub skills you want.

This game takes a sharp turn in difficulty once you reach A rank. I'm almost scared to see what S rank is like.

I've been in A+ for the past week or so and it is truly refreshing how much better the teamwork generally is St this rank, even compared to A, but especially A-/B+.

I've actually found myself shooting a teammate's feet a couple times when I can't otherwise assist them. No idea if they noticed or cared, but it felt useful.

I figured it'd stop you from taking damage and showing up on opposing minimaps once you're out of bad ink. Also maybe help you get away if needed.

Probably not worth doing, in any case.

Nice! I tried using the Bamboozler recently because it seemed like I was okay at doing the two-shot trick in training and I liked the fast charge, but it seemed like I was really bad actually using it (actually pretty good with Turf coverage but bad at Splats). What Charger are you using to learn chargers, pokeyman?

For that matter, what would people recommend if you want to learn all kinds of weapons?

Typically I use shooters, but to learn Rollers I've been trying to use the Carbon Roller and for Chargers I typically try the Squiffers. My issue with the Carbon Roller has been I never seem to get a one-hit splat with it, but it seems like good Rollers have mastered the "jump-splash that outranges shooters for one hit splat" trick. For Chargers I think my issue is just needing aim better and faster.
