It's would you rather travel to the past or the future. I expect numerous snide comments from Marie relating to Callie's fashion sense and her desire to live in the past.

By traveling to the past, Callie is morally obligated to prevent 9/11.

I've always felt that I was born a few decades too late, so team Callie past for me. Besides, the future is going to suck and suck hard the way things are going, but at least we'll have nice toys to play with while Western civilization comes crashing down around us.

Also, is anyone else hoping for a SuperSplatBowl on Feb 6? Since the Pats will inevitably win the AFC (:barf:), I guess that puts me on Team NFC.

e: This one is generic enough that I feel like it would be a European Splatfest. And it's pretty good for being so generic, really.

Based on them losing 4 of their last 6 games?

Yeah once you start playing lots of ranked its hard to go back to turf war. Rainmaker can be kinda hit or miss based on your team but splat zones and tower control are really amazing.

Lots of people have said they should add an un-ranked playlist for splat zones and other modes and I agree.

There's not really any secret charger advice that can be given. You just have to keep adapting to his patterns. Try shooting the enemy balls before they land and spawn enemies. Try to stay to one side when the laser charges, and then move before it shoots to avoid the laser going straight down the middle. You don't need to be shooting every missile that heads your way, you can try avoiding most of them and then just shooting down the remaining missile(s) that you may not be able to avoid. Basically, just keep trying. You don't need to have the charger all the way charged to effectively use it, if that's what's tripping you up.

Yeah, most of the projectiles don't need anything close to a charged shot to kill. The missiles and little enemy-spawning capsules have ridiculously low health. Dodge missiles, pop capsules, charge up a shot for the fists and pineapples and you'll be golden.

I found the roller to be more difficult, if only because of the low RoF.

I love the L-3 Nozzlenose. I'm still not sure how to use the Killer Wail in an effective manner but the gun hits hard and fast if you've got your rhythm down and disruptors are a fantastic sub.

So, I'm level 15 now. Here is my impression of the game thus far. Story mode is fun. It's kinda quick but the bosses are well done. The regular game mode is ok. It does its job but the ranked modes are amazing and need to have an un-ranked mode. The weapons are fairly balanced. I only ran into a few guns that I would call less useful than most. I settled on the ranged blaster. The gear is ok, I feel like you need at least 2 of any attribute to even notice a difference. And finally I play with the Japanese alot. It's not a terrible thing but if there's lag they win. Also this will be my first splat fest and I'm going on team past.

When you decide to try the inkbrush ask the thread for advice, it's the best weapon for covering turf but it's one of the hardest to use effectively.
