That'd be nice perk for getting to the max again. Oh and hearing the game through headphones, such a different experience. The guns actually sound like they have power behind them. Bleh and a DC just when things were looking up.

Nonstop comm errors and boots 30 seconds into every match. Splatoon is crazy fun, but what the fuck.

Jeff getting good with that Elitre in a hurry. The pressure of GAF rooms.
Reddit Translation of the Patch Notes:
- If your rank changes while in the middle of playing ranked battles, you will be sent back to the lobby.
^--- That sounds big for people who likes staying with the little guys to Rank-Up.
- Arowana Mall: Splat Zones mode, adjusting certain stage elements.
^--- Hopefully it's better now.

Yeah, chargerGAF
Range is good a like I expected But accuracy is higher than I would've guessed

Oh yes, this will be mine.
The ink consumption is interesting. The charge designates a certain amount of ink that will be used and then each shot uses some of that ink. I wonder how it works after the designated ink is used. Do you have to charge up again? Does the ink consumption rise for each additional shot? It'll be interesting to see how this works.
6th post of this thread.

lol only took 5 losses and a dc to get a win. With that i'm done for now. GG's to all!
It seems like there is a delay from when you release the Zr button and the splatling starts shooting. The fully charged ping noise precedes the release of ink by a second. Plus in the video the charge wheel was full from the start but bullets didn't fly out until later. I wonder if you can do partial charges?
I figure you have to charge it up again as he seemed to have stopped in the video when his bar went down.

Thanks for the games, everyone. Gonna see how I fare against some randoms and then go to sleep.
Thanks will add a bunch of you this evening.

EDIT:
Added my NNID in the excel file.
Oh, I missed the charge meter. That's interesting.
I think I understand it now. You charge it up (apparently being able to charge twice as the second video showed two meters compared to the first videos one charge) and then when you let go it releases the charge. I had forgotten it was designated a charger, which makes a lot more sense now that I see it in action. I just assumed it would be a standard Gatling gun
So then what happens if you squid before its finished, assuming you can?
Edit: I thought they were calling then chargers? Or was that never official.
I shouldn't be trying to think about this stuff when it's so late. I'm just going to go to bed

I think they could make good use of disrupters to get the charge up while your foe is wiggling around.

nvm
That stuff is outdated. The bucket comes with burst bombs given it's sub marker. The only thing it could be is disruptive or splash wall. Leaning towards splash wall but can't tell by the angle.
That'd be a good sub for it, point sensor would be really useful too. Hope the vanilla version comes with one of them.
e: thanks Ryechu.

Hmm, maybe they just put in Sheldon's texts randomly.
I'm sure they were at one point actual sets. But they have changed since then. Sheldon's texts indicate different names for the weapons themselves. For example" slosher" isn't mentioned. And Sheldon calls the evil priest a type of charger using the katakana name. Even though in the twitter paired with this video, they call this weapon part of a new "main weapon class" called the spinner. So they've likely changed their mind about these weapons and adjusted them. If you look at alpha videos of splatoon the old splat charger used to have suction bombs and echolocator. So it's not like they don't go through iterations. Id be surprised if the bamboozler was changed though, since those weapons seem older and more tested than both the sloshers and the spinners

More Tower Control, fuck my life.
Also I am getting insane connection errors today, not sure what is up.

I went to play a few randoms and fucking Guysloth showed up to make my life hell. 
Seriously though, I need to sleep now. Good games, goodnight, all.

I absolutely fucking loathe players who get on the tower just to get someone else from the team to jump there and when they do, they get immeaditely off whereas the team mate lands in the middle of a firefight and dies almost instantly. Again and again. They don't bother actually moving the tower.
I had just one player like this. He got 19 kills. We lost. Like those 19 kills mattered. Of course he thinks to himself: well, I did my part, what the hell did you actually do?
Died on the tower for you. About 10 times.

The problem is knowing the right time when to get on the tower. Suicide riding doesn't help anyone. Good luck with that when playing with randoms though. This is why I think this mode just doesn't work, it's infuriating. For now I am just sticking to Splat Zones which is actually fun. Will we ever be able to choose modes? Doesn't seem like it.

I like Tower Control. But it does require a team committed to move and protect the tower. More than those who are there just to hoard kills. I've more intense and interesting matches of TC than Splatzones but also more hellish ones where people don't have a clue.
Tower control is my hands down favourite mode.
Originally I thought it was just going to be a straight up Payload style thing, but things like the routes being totally weird, the way ink management of the surrounding arena is so important, the fact that you have to be ON the tower as well as needing to ink the sides... and the fact that the damn thing has a cover spike in the middle... oh, and the fact that it's a tug of war both ways and that you don't just get fucking mired in a game for like 40 - 60 minutes... it changes the way the game goes

Splatoon [OT4] Group Ink Required.
Yeah, that's how most people play shooters, rollers are a different story though. Still it's not a slight since being good at sneaky isn't that easy. Just Emil plays rollers and brushes a bit different from what we usually see.
Nice places to place it:
- Very edge of your side perch
- Behind the large stack of boxes in the very middle
- Enemy side perch
- Anywhere where you can lure an enemy or two towards to get bludgeoned.
Naturally beakons can't win a shoddy game, but they can assist a contested one immensely.
I like this one
My suggestion:
Splatoon |OT4| Get on the tower!
And one I saw as a suggestion for OT1 but didn´t make it:
Splatoon |OT4| I love the smell of fresh paint in the morning

Yeah I've found that a beakon here can be useful both for teammates to jump to if we're in control of the middle and as a nice distraction/trap in case the enemy starts invading
Funny they show it on Port Mackerel, I'd imagine a slow, immobile, can only shoot in a straight line weapon, would be one of the worst in that map, especially when you're being camped at your side. Probably very little you can do as a splatling user in that scenario.
