Splatoon

Most likely I'll alternate between melee turfer (Inkbrush) and ranged suppression/support with Splasha, my trusty Heavy Splatling. If I get lower scores in Turfing with Splasha that's usually due to ending up stuck in one vantage point keeping enemies at arm's length with a withering storm of suppression fire. Typically my Inkbrush scores are insanely high unless the enemy wises up and focuses on me.

@9/11 pics: I bet a lot of those are from over here and Latin America in general. I feel folks here like their Gallows Humor a lot more than those in the US.

Regarding weapons, my plan's the same as always. Alternating between my all-rounder .52 Gal and my ambush turf painter Inkbrush Nouveau.

Probably going with cars as well, as I've been traveling that way for visits to nearby cities recently. As for weapons, still sticking with my Zapper 85. It never fails me.

As of right now, I tend to alternate between the Splattershot Jr and the .96 Gal Deco, depending on the mode. I mainly use the former for Turf Wars and the latter for Rank, though the .96 Gal Deco is a lot more viable for Turf Wars than I had originally thought, though I usually take a more offensive approach with the latter.

I usually manage around 1000-1300 points provided I'm not facing a God-tier team that takes control of the map in the second the match start. Even when I do horrendously though, I'm still around the 600-700 range.

I'm going with planes just to be contrary. Really it's because I don't care one way or the other and I haven't been on Marie's side for a while.

I'm sticking with my N-Zap '89 for Turf Wars. I just hope I don't get bad teammates.

I usually go with the Splash-O-Matic, though lately I've been using the Splattershot Jr. a bit more.

Doesn't everyone wish that for themselves.

Handy to note that this'll be my first time teaming up with Callie.

I'd like to see the rest of that wall-slam comic. It's a fairly common trope in Japan - I guess in some cases it's seen as romantic? Sometimes it's presented as threatening, though.

@Red: The artist's pixiv so far only has that set of 3 pages ._. Most of the other stuff is Touhou stuff, especially of Satori.

Kabedon

is what its called, apparently.

Yup, that's it. It can look romantic, but that poor Orange newbie is pretty clearly not in a happy place. (I guess you could interpret it as that she's tearing up because she's not used to shooting people, and while being hit with enemy ink probably doesn't hurt, it certainly doesn't seem comfortable, and Blue seems to have tanked a few hits to get close...?)

Like I said, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. Mostly because that newbie is adorable.

Or maybe Blue tanked up on Defense Ups or cornered the newbie once she ran her tank empty (so she's freaking TERRIFIED because the guy just wouldn't get splatted). I noticed that detail, the sniper still had about half a tank-load, while Blue and the newbie were out of ink.

More Kabedon explanation and parodies, hahahaha that 4th one

I wonder if Eromame was one of the first Inklings to master drawing hearts with their Inkbrush

The .96 Gal is beautiful oh my god why did I not try this thing out sooner.

Woo I finally unlocked the Octoshot.

I also did a litte while ago. Kind of a shame that I don't use the Tentatek, 'cause that's one fresh-looking weapon.

Aye. You know what's sexy? The kind of attitude that often ends up with fucked up families and/or dead people, that's what.

If I unlock the Octoshot I'll probably use it. I just like things that look different than the average. Just about to the only reason I'm even using a charger is the Hero Charger Replica.

So I will be on Cars this weekend and the last time I sided with Callie was back in Team Roller Coasters.

This is the first time the EU/Oceania players will be left alone without NA/Asia and Japan.

"Wall Slam" — is that what they are calling it now?
I suppose there's Values Dissonance involved. But it still looks pretty creepy to me.

I use the Tentatek for Tower Control, but other than that I tend towards other weapons.

Sass levels too high

Few games of Turf Wars to get back into the swing of things in theory.

"Heck yeah, won and was inking MVP! I'm the best!"

The next highest scoring teammate painted 3 points less turf than I did.

"..."

But they were using an Aerospray and I had a Splattershot.

"THE BEST."

I only had a natural score of 639p.

"THE. BEST."

Mike Rossing intensifies.

How can you win and only have 639? The only reason I'd think this would happen is if the enemy is passive or had a disconnect...

Who's Mike Ross? The Fighting Game Community guy who's really funny, complains about E. Honda being garbage, and works for Twitch?

Natural score = end of match score - 300p win bonus

Example:

900p at end of match when winning

- 300p win bonus

= 600p "natural/actual/inking score"

Yo, Registered, can you explain how those 2 Carbon Rollers couldn't break past the 300p mark?

I'm pretty sure they're a pair of squidmedians, honestly.
