Roller is the best.

Also the fact that you can accidentally paint the seagulls on the rig level.

The roller might be best at laying down ink/covering ground, but playing with it felt like kind of being a big target. It's awkward to turn around so people can run up behind you, and there's not much in the way of defense against range attacks. Also, running into another roller usually ended in Mutually Assured Splatstruction.

I wound up trying to let the other squids do the fighting and just focus on cleaning up whatever abominable mess the other team was making.

From what I've seen, EU translation tends to take fewer liberties with the material than NoA does. Which is a real shame here because that boss is so ridiculous that terrible puns are all appropriate and hilarious.

Are there also a bunch of puns in the Japanese version? Because I love puns, and puns in other languages are the best puns.

Also I think I'm getting the hang of the inkbrush, although it still seems tricky and near-useless in cases where the enemy team is blocking off all routes (so you can't zip past them and ink up the places they're neglecting) or the walls are too narrow to get a good spread of ink out. But it's just too fun surprise-slapping your foes to death with a giant paintbrush. I'm keeping it.

And I'm also happily surprised that I rarely have any lag during a game like this. Everything's so busy,. the map is constantly changing, you're dealing with eight connections, and the fact that it all manages to keep rolling smoothly (save for maybe.. once every 40 games) is mind-boggling to me.

I can't wait for this Splatfest! I don't even have anything specific I'm looking forward to, I guess I just want to see the nighttime plaza/maps, and all the Miiverse graffiti, and which three maps they're using....

Also, Inkbrush forever. It is the best and I don't care what anyone says. :colbert:

You can neither eat NOR sleep on a rollercoaster. Checkmate.

(Whether or not you can do so on water slides is moot, I don't know why you'd even bring it up, that's not what this argument is about, shut up.)

I'm having real trouble choosing between team fat and team lazy.

On one hand I'd rather eat dessert than go to bed early. But on the other hand I'd rather sleep in than eat breakfast.

In that case, the true question this: In the middle of a long, tiresome day, would you rather (a) have a big delicious meal or (b) have a cozy relaxing nap?

I always figured that was something you sorted out while changing from squid to kid. Arrange your tentacles one way, squid down, come back up with them a different way if you want. Makes about as much sense as anything else.

So the other night I was playing a ranked battle with some people and we wound up playing 4 vs. 3 for one game-- but apparently when you do that, there's a generic 'player' squid that shows up in the rankings at the end of the game with 0 points despite not having been in the match.

And then I found that squid in my plaza!
