You're getting over 500 ink right? Because that makes you better than a lot of players.

From what I hear, if you're playing solo, then you should play Pro mode, not Normal, even if not especially if you're not very good, counterintuitive as that may seem; Normal mode lets you form teams with friends and stuff, so there's a good chance of going up against people who are coordinating in it, while you and your team can't do the same.

Im pretty sure the game finds pairs of 2 on both sides instead of it being team, solo, solo kind of matchmaking

Chaos is the natural state of the universe. To try and force some type of order upon any portion of it is temporary at best that will inevitably end in abject failure. Awaken to your own feeble attempts and become one with the true nature of the universe. Embrace Chaos

Rather than give this a shot, I hung it up after a couple games. Maybe I will hook up the dock and make an effort over the weekend, but I can't play this game in portable mode.

On top of having extra long shifts at work during the splatfest, I will spend a night or more at a cousin's place For Reasons. At leadt I scored a couple wins for Chaos in the morning..

I have to work this weekend too but thankfully the 72 hours is more than enough time to squeeze in matches here and there. The Sunday Shifty marathon is gonna be sick.

Alright, its really just my aim is atrocious. I can't hit squid kids 2 feet away from me with my preferred Splattershot Jr cause its the only weapon Im decent with (and the super lets me ink a ton of free turf in turf war). Im using motion controls but seriously thinking about just trying out normal controls.

If I’m using a Jr I try to pop up as close as possible, the shots disperse too much so any distance at all is going to put you at more of a disadvantage. If you want a similar weapon that you try and aim to kill use the N zap.

Have you tried the clash blaster? It wrecks splashdowns.

The funny thing about Splattershot Jr is nearly everyone underestimates it because it’s the starting weapon but it’s super good as a high mobility pop and run gun and since so few people use it because it’s just the starting weapon people usually have no idea how to handle going against that style of play

That’s one of my favourite decisions in the Splatoons, giving you a perfectly useful weapon at the start. And it only works against people who are used to other games where you want to upgrade asap. If Splatoon is the first game you’ve ever played you probably wouldn’t assume the Splattershot Jr. is garbage?

Kind of bummed they went with the most boring option of the 7/11 exclusive gear being the merch game tie in.

White eminence set for Order, Mecha set from last years CoroCoro contest for Chaos would have been cooler and a better fit.

Not only is it a good starter weapon, but they all have good ink spread and supers. Ink armor, ink storm, and bubble blower are all great supers to have often.

I kinda want to get the shirt, but I'm in one of the countries where they charge £17 for shipping and £42 for a t-shirt is just too much.

And apparently you can't buy both shirts in a single order, so if you want both you're paying for shipping twice.
