Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

Started messing with rollers with my friend Koki today and found out I actually do really well with them. I'm really good at getting kills and sneaking up on people. I love when someone invades our base and is off inking somewhere with their back turned, so I roll right behind them and SPLAT.
A few rollers have air assassinated me (i.e., jump down directly onto me). That hurt my feelings.

yeah, I saw you using the new weapon though! how did it fair with you? :P
I personally only tested it but never used it in turf war yet, I might do that for fun and then go back to my usual weapons...
It's a hit and miss style for me. I got a game where I went 12-2 with 900 points w/o the bonus which I found really good for a blaster gun. Then I got some games going about 6-4 with decent coverage, and then bad games going 3-5 or something with worse coverage. (I played about 7 of 'em with this gun) Definitely going to practice with it a bit more especially since it has inkzooka. I also want to keep trying out dual squelcher that I'm not too good at yet :P

Yep, that was me since it was Bluefin Depot constantly. There was one time where I was climbing up a wall and a roller flew over my head and I exploded three seconds later. o-o

ah the inkzooka...I suck at using this thing -_-

today I noticed that my skills went downhill for some reason (is ashamed), my highest score today was 1200ish, I usually do much better than that, I blame it on bluefin depot....

Oddly enough I haven't experienced that thing that usually happens where you splat a roller that's far away from you and then you somehow get splatted. Those that splat me usually kept on going...
Rollers are so annoying when they're being sneaky and slam-dunking people ;u; I feel like I should give rollers a chance but idk. Also there's some rollers who never try pushing the trigger button. They cross their fingers and hope they can roll you over each time, which is a no-go.

I've had so many experiences with killing someone, walking away for a good five seconds, just to be splatted by them somehow >u< (usually if I leave that group, the kill-delay will be gone)

I used to get constant 1.5ks+ with aerospray, even on maps like warehouse that are small. I think if I went back to that gun my coverage scores will still be diminished.
I have more fun trying to sneak kills though, sometimes I waste time waiting for someone to sneak up on. >u<

It's actually way more satisfying to do that with a roller than a gun though. You see someone coming your way so you hide, wait for them to get close, and WHAM. The only problem is they can splat you before the roller comes down which sucks.

I actually like to think of the weapons as rock-paper-scissors where certain things are strong against these but weak against those. Rollers can crush ground-based shooters, but are helpless against assaults from chargers. Basic shooters are able to attack unsuspecting chargers with their backs turned but are no match for rollers. Chargers can take out the ground-based rollers... until someone else starts firing at them.

You get the idea lol. Didn't include blasters here since imo they aren't really all that great.
 
rollers are very fun to use when you get used to them, I hate those bigger rollers though, they feel very heavy and slowwww

I sort of think of weapons this way too. I know which weapons pretty much counter the one I'm using or give me the hardest time. However, there's some people that make a weapon much less annoying with the way they use it.

I think I'm going to use the luna blaster, dual squelcher, and krak-on splat roller when I get on in an hour or so.

I bought the gold dynamo roller when I turned level 20- I didn't like how slow it was but I liked the idea of it. And some people are AMAZING with it in ranked and I get happy when they're on my team :P

Anyone down to splat online later?

me~ most likely in an hour or so xD

Last night, one tried to just roll up on me without using the trigger button, so I backed up and put a suction bomb in front of me, as if to say, 'Come at me, bro.'

He immediately turned around and started rolling back the way he came.

So I shot at and splatted him. Just thought it was funny, though, seeing him panic from the suction bomb, and forgetting squid form.

LOL. this is exactly the type of thing I'm talking about. They don't even give much of an effort. But there's some who are willing to suicide just to try to roll you over when they could have came up with a better way that involves the trigger button xD

I think rolling people over is obviously great, only if the enemies don't really see it coming-
 
I want to hop on in a bit but I'm too lazy to plug in the gamepad charger.
The fact that the plugs in my room suck doesn't help either haha.
 
Theres this really *****y japanese girl in this room who 1, is lagging and 2, is using a bubbler. She then teabgas you when she kills you, but only when shes been using a bubbler or its 2 vs 1
