Managed to jump back in for a couple more games with the goon group and got my rear end handed to me repeatedly due to lag. Had some fun popping the Blaster in people's faces though.

Why would they support that goofy-arse macgyver crap and not also support something slightly more sensible? Because a big part of the game is using the map to leap to your buddies?  You can always switch to conventional dual-stick controls in the Options menu.

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:The mall map is brutal. Climbing up that ramp in the middle is like going over the top into no squid's land. I really don't like the mall map, because unlike the others its possible for one team to box the other in so they have no hope of a comeback.

Help Im Alive posted:You can do that in the Warehouse if the other team is bad enough Walleye Warehouse has side passages you can use to blindside them though. The mall is a straight slow slog and the sides are vertical ledges overlooking the main valley. Anyone on top is gonna splat you before you get up the wall, and most splat guns dont have the distance to kill them up there before they off you. Its just a slooow slog instead of fast-paced like the others.

You know, given the Shibuya crosswalk-esque design of the hub town, I'm surprised they didn't go with Inkebukuro for the name   .Also I think my favourite gun right now is the 96-Gal, because it's been loving amazing at splatting pubbies outside the reach of their Splattershots  . Not to mention it comes with the Sprinkler and Echolocator.

Regy Rusty posted:Saltspray is so much better of a Splatzone map than Urchin, it's ridiculous Saltspray's pretty terrible for Splat Zone. You'd get a much better map with a separate Splat Zone at the high and low areas. That single Zone where it is turns into a straight king-of-the-hill with a massive advantage for the defenders: Both lifts are gonna get you killed, ditto if you try to circle around. All you have left is the ramp and the sneaky balcony, and both are easy to cover if you're on your game (Seekers are evil things  )

I'd fear tons of bombs worse because there's no real warning for that. Seekers are hilarious on Splat Zone Saltspray too. I cleaned up so many goddamn people trying to come up the ramp .

Countblanc posted:It's really insane how much of an advantage the defenders have in Splat Zone. Being able to just be invisible 80% of the time is huge, and most of the zones seem to just be death pits where the attackers will just have a revolving door of dead players. The defenders have an obscenely stronger advantage on Saltspray Rig than Urchin Underpass, Inkstrikes notwithstanding. You're on top of a hill, with blind corners the attackers have to come around, and the only other way in is a small ledge that is very easy to arc paint up onto. It's also a small-enough area that everybody can watch eachother's backs. Urchin Underpass is a lot harder to hold (and far more fun) because you've got three different spread-apart places to jump in from at any given time (though of course everybody's just gotta bum-rush over that hill into Seekers and waiting ink splats), and with the Zone in the pit it's much easier for the other team to spray frantically.

TubeStank posted:the ranked penalty system makes no sense. like i understand the draw of having more competitive matches but ink strike can completely gently caress over a team that's dominated 75% of the match as it stands right now. there really should be 2 points on each map to ease up the congestion and make alternate routes worthwhile Considering it's called Splat Zones, it would really be helped by having more than one. Hell, Saltspray Rig's practically built to have two of them.

LethalGeek posted:I will agree saltspray is a very bad map for ranked unless the bottom area was given a zone, then it would become beautifully insane. I don't agree about the Inkstrikes though, they may disrupt the zone for a moment but unless you have some control over it the defenders will undo that work in 3s. I did plenty of times. Hell I'd be firing into the drat effect since I knew no one was near enough to stop me. I managed to drop an Inkstrike right on top of the other team's and wipe out the two poor bastards that had jumped in to sieze the zone under the cover of theirs .

Regarding the four-hour map rotation and the girls doing the news update, I'm idly wondering if they're hiding a discreet server refresh behind it just to keep the hardware running properly.

LemonAIDS posted:Yeah inkstrike isnt a huge issue in ranked, it takes like a second to reink it. honestly the bubbler or kraken would do a better job to take the point imo, lets you make a good assault. Saltpray rig is bullshit though if one team gets a spawn beacon on the upper part of the map Except Rollers are a real detriment in Ranked. Sure you've inked the Zone but now what? You're down a gun for when the Bad Guys move in to take it. The Bubbler is fantastic if you can tuck in close to shield your buddies on the Zone with it though. Cialis Railman posted:I still can't figure out the blaster. Is it like a grenade launcher? I don't know why I can't wrap my mind around it. The Blaster's basically a shotgun. It fires a ball that goes blap a short distance away, or blaps in the face of someone if its hits them closer.

Supercar Gautier posted:In regular battles, I always was annoyed with teammates who immediately leapt back as far ahead as they could after dying, without checking whether the target area was safe. I want to slap the poo poo out of the idiots that go off inking the other team's spawn on their own while we're stuck trying to deal with the actual team at the Zone. That and the fuckers who just bee-line down the center route all-day, every-day like lemmings to their immediate demise, instead of ever taking any of the side routes.

Chance posted:I had this problem too, the faster shooting one is better in normal play, but the regular blaster (or maybe a variant I haven't got yet) is better in ranked. One direct shot kills, two near misses does the same. Basically if you aren't in range to catch someone in the airburst/instakill, back off and throw a disruptor. Only get in range to kill (as in enemy doesn't see you or is hopping in your ink), otherwise just be very annoying and retreating. Obviously not killing anything won't help your team, but I found it very useful in clearing the balconies in saltspray, and around the corners in warehouse. Try using the 96-Gal on Arowana, the extra range ruins everyone else's day.

Fix posted:The single most dominant round of ranked I've seen thus far was against four rollers. They were incredible. Their process was art. True, in the hands of competent players that's always going to make a difference, but I'm talking about the average pubbie. Most of the time when you see a roller on your side and four shooters on the other team, you may as well just tap out then and there because it's been a foregone conclusion. Charge Rifles have been insanely good for ruining days on Splat Zones though.

Came back a couple hours later for Skate Park and Underpass and I don't know if it's just that those maps are easier for the squiffer or if I was just hosed up before, but I think I lost twice going from C- 0 to C 80. Best game I went 12-1.

EightFlyingCars posted:That's because campy sniper weapons are harshly penalized by the game's mechanics. It's really trivial for people to just swoop up to you, and if somebody with an aerospray gets in your face (and basically everybody has an aerospray) you’re stuck in a whole bunch of ink, so you can't escape. Chargers are pretty awful for Turf Wars because you need to be constantly on the move, but they can be brutal in Splat Zones.
