I picked team ninja directly after the announcement because of my playstyle with Chargers but I just used the Aerospray on the Arowana/Blackbelly rotation and only after getting a 15+ winstreak by tailing seekers to get to enemy territory, laying down ink on their turf and inkzookaing bad guys with no mercy did i realise i was playing like a barbarian

Now I don't know what to think @_@

I'm primarily a ranged blaster player. But I have had some good games with chargers. Also I got royally screwed today trying to re roll stats... 16 snails and 90k down the drain...

I spent nearly all of my squidbucks tonight, but now all of my hats have max slots. Probably going to take another 2 million at least to finish the rest of the gear, but maybe the next Splatfest will help.

Easy come, easy go I guess. 1.4mil gone in a couple minutes.

The brushes are cool, but I can't get nearly enough ink out of them to do much for a match.

That's weird, when I tried out the inkbrush that was the first time I managed to pass 1300 points in a match.

It was my first time seriously using a weapon with the sprinkler, so that may have had something to do with it. I'd frequently be tossing a sprinkler in one direction then heading in another, and after a few games I put on gear with special charge up so I could spam inkstrikes throughout matches.

Evolution: Reproduction of the fit enough.
I'd love to try squad battle but I don't have any friends who play the game. I'm currently level 28, B rank, I switch between the three slosher types depending on the game mode, and I know how to be a team player. I only started doing ranked battles around level 20 and I'm best at spat zones and tower control. Anyway...

When Splat Zones is the ranked mode, I just play Turf Wars anymore. I hate that all of the action is condensed to one tiny square of map.

Except when you want to take pics of the results screen after a match, which sucks when you want to show how good you are, but every cellphone in the world has a camera now so you can just use that.

I would equate museum splat zones to two teams of 4 squids taking turns punching eachother in the dick.

I went up two ranks tonight on the back of the tri-slosher. Got 20 kills in one match for the first time.

Well-timed bubblers are really satisfying in tower control.

Yeah, they need to rebalance the scoring system again. A tiny edge in wins should not be this big of a factor.

The joke is that a "spat" zone would be one in which people have a fight or dispute. The game is about battling through battle. Therefore, the entire zone is a spat zone.

I was trying to make a set to maximise my Echolocator since I use it a lot in ranked, and it ended up looking kinda cool!
Making outfits in this game is pretty fun. I haven't been able to participate in any Splatfests recently so it's like a puzzle trying to get the right combination of skills without using a single snail.

Wouldn't have made a difference if it was still on the 4x multiplier, though they both would have tied on the 2x one.

Gotta love it when a person with a roller is simply running without the roller down.

Also, if you're a roller user it's unacceptable to get under 500 points in a turf war.

Oh, and can anyone explain how the gently caress some people appear to be splatting others and being splatted but in the results screen they have 0 points? It's impossible to not lay down at least some ink right?

0p means they disconnected before the match ended. It doesn't matter how much they racked up before it happened.

i love squid fashion

A squid buddy of mine joined me in a match one day and I noticed she rolled all Damage Ups on her Safari Hat, Squid Girl Tunic and Cyan Trainers so she had the equivalent of 5 Main Damage Ups

She looked soooo horrible

But soooo rippeddddddddddd

Sometimes I wish the game had a replay option or highlight reel or something, because I sometimes see people getting like, under 200 points and I have to wonder how. Were they not shooting at all?

Funniest thing I've done with other rollers, as a roller: they come barreling at me to try to squish me, I just flick paint at them. They explode. I go on my merry way. Also works if you have a gun, using the super secret technique of "Move backwards while holding the fire button."

Sometimes I am aware that I am playing the game against literal children. I am also aware that I'm not sorry.

I find I'm pretty good with the mid-long range guns (.56 Gal is my jam), also the Nzaps.

I'm really really bad with rollers. What's the trick?
