Now I want to see a squiddo surprise-shoryukening someone from an ink puddle.

Anyway, this is kinda what it looks like the Glacius guy is even partially ice cubes in this pic, making it a good reference in case anyone wants to do a parody... (hint hint)

Not as far as I know. All we have to go off of are their simple portraits in single player. There is one sketch of them in their Hero outfits during the staff roll, though.

Hmm... that makes it idol, agent, hero, and traditional outfits seen for the duo in-game.

That feeling when your team is almost screwed over because 2 of your mates decided to spawn camp and got wiped out.

On better news, I'm slowly but surely getting a better hang of the Rapid Blaster Pro Deco. The stage is quite a significant factor with that thing, since it determines from which points I can attack and intimidate from effectively and safely.

Alexander and 8810 were straight-up trolling. And I'm not sure what was going on in AHO's head; sometimes they flicked their charged Charger right at my ass and splatted me, and other times they just sat there and squidded the time away.

[up]Alex and 8810 I figured as much. You don't score 100 points without being a troll. But ~250? I always wonder, "are you even trying?" because it is really hard to tell the difference.

Anyway, thanks for the fun Bruno, despite the poor player match up.

In other news; a cephalophone.

Uhhhhh.... Level hacking.

[up]No thanks. I had my allotted fun for the day.tongue

While on the topic of trolls, how do you guys respond to those wanting to start a squid party? For me, about 90% I just ignore them and let them do their own thing. I see no reason to ruin their idea of fun since it's only 3 minutes of my time. If I see a player trying to start a party, I will usually belly flop a bit to signal that I understand what they are doing before moving on to turf coverage. I'm not trying to win, mind you. I'm simply trying to rack up points so that I may earn more ₩umy.

You can still squid party and paint at the same time, y'know? Remember that 2v1 yesterday? tongue

[up]In that case, yeah, I would join in. But usually, squid partiers don't do that. They just like to squid flop and maybe fire ink every now and then.

Edit: Plus, that 2v1 was a different situation given that those 5 players despawned as soon as the match started. We all knew that that match went horribly south and we found a way to make the best of that moment.

Cephadroid or Cephoid would work for Android.

It is funny that I can read most of the text. Also since I don't own an iphone (but I do an ipad), I am ashamed I don't know what the dots on the upper left and the inkline logo on the upper right are supposed to be.

I kind of hope that those pics correspond to an actual theme for jailbroken iOS devices. I wouldn't use it myself because of how inconvenient it would be to use, but it'd be cool to just have it exist.

The blasters (except for Luna Blaster) are indeed insanely map-dependent, although i haven't used them extensively enough to determine where they're good or bad.

Range Blaster is good for sniper suppression, that's all i remember.

[up][up]That's the main reason I haven't used the other blasters very often. I'm too impatient to go through the trouble of figuring out which ones are best for which stages. The Luna is more versatile.

Luna is too close-ranged, and without the wild fire rate and speed of the Jr. and the Inkbrush. Simply can't play with it.

Rapid Blaster Pro just happened to hit a sweet spot of range and fire rate for me. Come to think of it, its fire rate is similar to that of Scout's Scattergun in TF2, and after spending so much time on Splatoon I actually managed to start using that guy half decently instead of being a complete and utter joke with him...

...Huh.

I've played with the Octobrush and the Carbon Roller enough to decide that overall I still prefer the speed and ink spread of the regular Inkbrush.

Rapid Blaster Pro has the best ratio of fire rate and range IMO as well.

If that thing one shotted it would break the game in half.

Though it's still pretty terrible for covering a cramped space in a hurry.

I'm looking at you, team mates with N-zaps, Splattershots, rollers etc who do not ink around and behind spawn.

Still great at covering long strips of ground. But for tight little corners etc leave the job for a spamatic or the like.

Oh, one thing I noticed is a notable drawback with blasters: killing over walls.

Even regular SS can get kills by shooting over a wall if an enemy stands in the ink trajectory, but if the wall is too tall blasters can't harm anyone directly. Yes, the burst will spread ink, but it will be too high up to cause direct damage.

Of course, short walls that are more like fences are a different story. Like the rope walkways on Triggerfish. Splatted fools who think they're safe behind the barrier, löl.

Yeah, blasters are lethal there. I could never really get the hang of it, though.
