Oh my god the N-Zap with movement speed abilities is busted.

Did the N-Zap even need a buff, it was still in the top 20 of Japan's league weapon usage and it wasn't even under-used before the patch like the splat pros

Yes it is, it's a solid loadout. Is that the splatterscope or the splat charger? I assumed the splatterscope zoomed.

My bad, yeah it was the splat charger.

The bullet velocity buff on the splat pro is huge at max range and bubbles are noticeably easier to pop. Looking forward to winning another splatfest with the Forge.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

It did not, though inking more easily near the feet is greatly appreciated for turf war

If every Tentacle Difficulties were just super OP versions of existing weapon classes, that would be amazing. Roller with the footprint and strength of a dynamo, but swing time/run speed of a carbon? Shooter with splattershot range and firing rate of the fully upgraded Hero Shot? E-liter with the charge time of a Bamboozler? :getin:

Finding out there are other super weapons is not a big surprise.

Which one we get and exactly how stupidly good it is, that we get to wait and see. and don't read the thread too close.

Pish-Posh. Vampires are clearly superior to werewolves. Constant vampire powers rather than being limited to being badass once, maybe twice a month. Said powers are also way cooler. Shapeshifting, powers of mind control, supernatural strength and agility, and teleportation. Werewolves are basically just really strong, fast, and can heal quickly. Plus you're stuck being a piddly human the majority of the time.

Yeah but think of the drawbacks. You never get to feel the sun, your taste in music is horrible, you can't cross running water or go into a house uninvited, and if someone dumps a bag of rice in front of you, you have to count it all up. Like a big nerd

Would've voted for werewolves, however the Aiden to normal human beings ratio is 8:1 on that team and all I care about is winning so I voted vampires

That's still more desirable than losing all control every time you actually get to use your powers

So with 2 run speeds, you can strafe at absurd speeds while firing with the brella.

I just noticed that of you stand close to Murch for a while you can tell that he's playing Squid Jump on his phone.
hosed up that he's the only one that gets to play it now, you'd think Nintendo could have included it in the mobile app for old times sake.

Why on earth would you stick Beakons on a weapon that's going to spend most of its time at the back end of the map? You're either jumping onto the Charger-user directly, or there's no reason to be there.

It all goes down to where you put your beakons. You might put them down at a position you know you need to go asap if your defensive line is breached like in Moray Towers. Or you might build them at the front to get some more pressure if need be there. The idea being that you aren't the last squid to quick jump to when crisis strikes. If all you do is put them up next to you, well... there's nothing wrong with that, but you're not thinking optimally.

Also sub power up ability charges the beakons to be quicker to jump to, meaning squids without Quick Jump speed-ups can get as quickly to a point like those who have them.

with E-Liter's insane range you could also do some pretty good snipes+swim out and beakon to keep up pressure situationally.

Werewolves are just people that get to be a cool dog once a month while there's all sorts of aristocracy and inbreeding and bullshit and lifestyle changes tied up with vampires.
