Splatoon

I could not understand half of what was going on in that fight, dying from things that I killed like ten years before they killed me. But I somehow got the most kills on our team, I guess?? That's a lot more of a contribution than I expected I was making is all I'm trying to say.

We were fighting the Japanese. It would be inevitable that there'd be lag.

Also, anyone want to be our 4th? Geist dropped out and isn't coming back apparently.

My earlier warning still stands, but yo.

Well, come on in.

On it.

My computer's on the other side of the house from the Wii U, so.

Sorry for dropping out, gotta get some things done and not sure if I'll be available.

That seemed, like, especially bad. (Also, is there a time we're not fighting the Japanese? Like so.)

Not sure how late I am with this but my word, Marie, just savage.◊

Of course, overtime.

Fuck fucking fuck! I fucked that one up. ._.

Can we agree if we have the lead and it's near the end of the match, we run BACK to our base rather than forward?

I was trying to do that but I got caught.

EDIT: I'm getting really tired now so I'll have to stop, sorry guys.

That's what I fucking did and fucked it up somehow. God fucking damn it. I am not in a good way.

S'alright. I guess we're done for the night.

So, uh... yeah, anyone got any suggestions for how I can improve? Would be much appreciated.

Honestly, I wasn't watching your play much. But... The general rule of thumb is that, no matter the mode, make sure you paint as much as you can.

Not randomly, nor how you paint for coverage in Turf Wars, of course... But painting for mobility and utility, for both you and your teammates. So you have the routes you need to move through, and especially the area to maneuver swiftly and safely. The more ground you paint, the more options you open up for everyone, and also the more you deny and slow your opponent.

Basically, if your aim is good and you know how to move and you still seem to not be winning regularly? You're probably not painting enough.

Right, right. That's something I'll definitely try to keep in mind more.

Hrrm, okay, that's better. Played a few games in Ranked, and it cleared my head a lot. Even the initial loss. I can still play this game. (Though it helped that I scored too very satisfying wins to close out the night, definitely. <.< )

I just still get really worked out in Squad. Especially that particular loss...

For the benefit of those who weren't there cuz' you're so invested in my sob story it was Port Mackerel Rainmaker, up against... What was it? B-SSS? Full SSSS? Something like that. And we managed to take the lead, about two minutes left on the clock... And then I saw the perfect opportunity to play a safety like I theorized. I ran the Rainmaker back up towards the spawnpoint and started to climb up behind it... only to immediately explode.

And send the Rainmaker back to the center of the map in a very unexpected manner.

Our opponents took it and managed to drive it to their lead in overtime... after I made a terrible superjump, got myself killed as part of a team-splat. There was nothing we could do at that point, of course.

And I felt fucking awful about it. Not for winding up ruining a perfect win by [apparently?] getting too greedy with something I hadn't actually tested out. Were this to have happened in pubs with a bunch of randos on my team, I wouldn't laughed it off.

But I hate letting my friends down. Really fucking hate letting my friends down.

It was a bad scene. Downward emotional spirals are not good for this game, and coming up against another BSSS squad immediately afterwards wasn't great either. But yeah.

I'm glad I got a win for myself after. But sorry I lost it for us then.

Aw, Registered. Don't beat yourself over it. Your intentions were good. I don't think you were wrong. Something unexpected just happened.

Thanks for your consideration (especially me as a friend), but don't sweat it. I'm always more annoyed at the S-rankers than any of us.

...Barring the ones here that are S-rank, but you get what I mean.

Also, Custom Range Blaster and Custom E-Liter Scope coming tonight.

Blaster comes with Splat Bomb and Kraken. E-Liter comes with Squid Beakon and Kraken.

That Custom E-Liter Scope sounds SCARY.

The Splat Bomb and Kraken are a pretty sweet combo.

I'll have to work around the Range Blaster's slower fire rate.

Looking forward to getting squashed by snipers even more than usual. :/

Don't know if anyone has brought this up but: https://splatoon.nintendo.net/

Octoling sprites have replaced the squid sprites on the site... Octolings confirmed?

Was mentioned soemtime ago, but only in the Japanese version.

I'm sad the English one is untouched.

Speaking of Splatnet, I'm going to see how everyone's doing in the rankings.

...Let's see, in rank Jon is at 40, I am at 49, and No Limit is at... 228!

Damn No Limit, you scary.

What? But I'm seeing it in English though.
