My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
I usually switch to the Dualies when Splat Zones come around. I really like close range weapons, and Tenta Missles are just too good in Splat Zones. Tenacity + enough Special Charge Ups pretty much turns you into a Flyfish. :getin:

Cat On Rope Entertainment: Random comments since 2004

I love taking the Krak-on roller into turf wars, rolling into enemy territory, then popping the hamster ball while enemies start shooting me and peacing out. A lot of times people will think you are running away because you are scared or something and chase you, letting you hide around a corner and pop on them when they chase you down :devil:

Someone who is good with rollers tell me your secrets to not being poo poo.

Horizontal flick is your main tool to git-r-dun
Vertical flick should be used to attack an enemy ONLY if they're too far for the horizontal flick and they've already been damaged, since it won't OHKO most enemies at range. It's also a useful tool for painting corridors safely
Rolling paint is useful for smoothing out lanes with spots of enemy ink; it's not a good offensive tool.

Vertical Fling will absolutely OHKO in my general use of it. With the Krak-On Roller.

Rolling ink also works offensively more than you think. A lot of players panic and miss, especially if you hit them off-center rather than head-on.

I was just trying to farm for Special Charge Up subs on those equipment so I could mix and match if I had to, but this loadout is ridiculous. With the Splat Dualies, you only need a bit over 130 points to fill up the gauge instead of 170. Combined with Tenacity kicking in every so often, and that the Splat Dualies are so good at covering turf, you can just poo poo out missiles. Over and over again. It's utterly disgusting.

I kinda feel like the gachapon capsules should also drop through multiplayer levelling. It's weird as gently caress you can't get bonuses for multiplayer inside multiplayer.

Oh hey, it's a cleaning fluid spray bottle with... one of those attachment thingies I'm sure there's a name for.

I do like how many of the weapons appear to be made of household items. The Heavy Splatling uses a water cooler tank.

Just so you know, this was in the first Splatoon, and it works like the Charger with the exception that it has a shorter range and charge time. Needless to say, it's an acquired taste.

The Squiffer is pretty much more of an aggressive weapon compared to most other Chargers. At least in Splatoon 1. Not sure if Splatoon 2 will change anything about it.

Aaaaand hosed back to Go-Getter because my crewmates are loving morons.

I lead a Griller off around the gantry during High-Tide so the rest of my Crew can kill the other one. Nope, they've done gently caress-all by the time I've looped around.

Actively ignoring the loving Mothership and not killing the delivery flyers (even though they've definitely at least seen me do it to get Eggs).

Actively ignoring the Flyfish in a Low-Tide wave :gibs:. He was also the first Boss in the wave, and soon joined by a Stinger and a second Flyfish.

Just saw all three crew-mates get wiped by a single Griller. That was chasing me. Twice in the same round :cripes:. I managed to drag a win out of them, but not one I felt good about.

I might be out of the country for this splatfest but I'll sign up for team flight either way. Might get some time to play a few games on the day to destroy foolish invisibles.

It would be weird/hilarious if they had invisible ink and spraying the enemy teams ink just erased it.

It probably refers to the datamined octoboy files they found that some people think points to playable octolings.

I tried to play Salmon Run last night twice, both times it gave me the charger. Ok, so that's my problem, I should be better with them than I am.

But then my teammates kept dying immediately and I couldn't revive them in time and then I was surrounded and oh god.

Playing the Charger in Salmon Run is all about utilizing your Splat Bombs. You really only should be charging for Steelheads or a boss with an opportune shot. Move with the group and just spray weak shots down while lobbing Bombs.
