Took the tri-slosher out and had a good time with it. Spyke decided to be merciful and give me pretty much exactly the subs I wanted, and they seemed to work pretty well. Even with all those sub ink savers, there would be times where I'd toss a disruptor and find myself out of ink, so I guess I'll have to get into the practice of disrupting, squidding away and THEN attacking. That'd probably be a good use for ninja squid, because as it was it was a bit of a wash because I kept forgetting I had it. :v: As a plus, I could see that outfit being pretty good for a lot of weapons I like to use. And it looks pretty good!

Now that splatfest is over I'm quickly reminded why I don't play as much anymore.

There's nothing more infuriating then getting a direct hit blaster on someone, hearing the noise; then having that someone turn into a kraken and fly into you, instantly killng you, or having someone do a really stupid predictable drop down ambush on you, only for him to reappear on the ledge he fell on, then fall on you again and kill you, over and over again.

I saw one guy get hit by all three of my teammates and keep firing, I hit him too and he just stayed stationary but kept on inking so I went away and then lag caught up to him and he ruptured. Net code is wacky!

This was pretty much identical to my main loadout until very recently, though with different looking gear. I also used the Luna Blaster Pro a lot with these bonuses, which is also a great ambush weapon.

So I wasn't able to participate in the splatfest this month because of work but I picked team blue so thanks for the 4 snails I guess. Though I think spike felt sorry for me because he gave me exactly what I wanted on my re-roll for my hat and shoes!

It's pretty effective! I'm not much of an ambush guy, though. Ninja squid is useful but the hoodie's mostly for looks. :v:

According to the US tumblr, they're going to be doing some sort of "inkling fashion week" or something. Probably just in-world info about the brands and such, but hey, could be the lead up to another gear update.

This is my splat zone getup. I like it for quick splat grenades, dropping 4-5 ink strikes on the enemy per round, and better long-distance lethality.

I think they're doing these two at a time, because this is the one I saw this morning:



http://splatoonus.tumblr.com posted:

The Firefin logo, a stylized blowfish, has long been a favorite of squid-hop set and anyone else who likes to keep it 100. Fans dig the loose fit and laid-back vibe that has become Firefin signature. Did you know that Firefin fans are up to ten times more likely to take selfies in front of graffiti while gazing into the distance?

As long as were doing squid fashion, here's what I was rolling with this evening:



No particular tactics or abilities in mind, I just wanted to look cool as hell as I reacquainted myself with the heavy splatling gun. It seemed to work, too. There was one moment on Moray where my team, who had been losing ground all match, were starting to turn things around at the last minute. So I charged up my inkstrike as quickly as I could, and it finally popped with like seconds to spare. I whipped it out and no sooner had I whacked the map, their E-Liter got me. It didn't matter. The inkstrike went off, the match ended and we won by 4%. :c00l:

I need to come up with better ways of dealing with dynamo rollers, because half of the matches I played on Piranha Pit today turned into my team getting locked down by at least one, sometimes two of them. In short, gently caress dynamo rollers.

That said, maybe a carbon roller isn't the best choice for long-range maps like Piranha Pit...but it's so much fun to use!

Randumb Thots posted:

Nice. Those satin jackets look pretty awesome, but I have a hard time finding something that goes with them, especially in the head slot. Here's what I've been using, and it seems to work pretty well with a carbon roller (Though the carbon roller is the best roller already, so it doesn't need the help:)




That bit about the satin jackets is why I'm glad those octoglasses got the subs they did--they go with just about every casual-ish piece of clothing in the game, including the satin jackets. The varsity jacket was a lucky reroll. I used it a couple of days ago and it worked really well, but I didn't have a use for two special savers and a quick super jump, so I rerolled it. First time I did, I got two ink recovery ups and a main ink saver, which was exactly what I wanted. So now it's a permanent part of my wardrobe. Not bad considering I only started using it because I wanted to dress up as the guy from Hotline Miami. :v:

I'm slowly realizing that part of being a roller user is understanding when you're outranged, and that part of being a carbon roller user is coming to terms with the fact that you're outranged by almost everything in a straight fight. Which is why you don't fight straight...

Also, whatever the RNG is that determines what abilities you get has apparently decided that I'm going to be the the fastest swimmer around:



That paisley bandana has one more swim speed up on it but at this point it's academic (Seriously I looked it up and it's something like another hundredth of a frame) and I like the way the octoglasses look so whatever. :v:

Ha, yeah I saw that one too. If you want to take screenshots, press the home button on your gamepad, tap Miiverse, and it should bring up a thing that'll let you save a screenshot to your screenshot album. From there, log onto Miiverse on your computer, go to your screenshot album, find the screenshot you took, bring it up, right click->View Image, and you can just copy the URL directly into imgur.
