Oh yea, that match lol. I didn't even realize it was that close till I managed to push into the enemy zone.
Blackbelly Skatepark should be the best map for sneak attacks and ambushes, aka rollers and brushes. A combination of a open field plus obstacles that impede field of view yet transversable make it easy get in close for splats, especially when you have a hold of the middle area.

Splatoon |OT4| The Kraken allows you to turn invincible and immediately kill anyone near you, please nerf

Yeah I was thinking one of the N-Zaps, but I use the custom dual squelcher over the normal one due to beakons. That would make the sploosh-o-matic a good candidate but I think I'd have trouble adjusting from a long range shooter to the shortest range shooter
My main problem on blackbelly is I have huge trouble with using my range effectively, and every time I try I just make myself an easy target and end up getting rushed by multiple enemies, which is why I think something shorter range would be betterSplatershot Pro or... Rapid Blaster.
Splattershot Pro is probably the most similar to dual squelcher but with much better splatting power.

Do you really want to be even worse against Dynamo Rollers?
Alternatively you should use your bombs more like this charger back from the test fire.

You already have the echolocator to tell if someone is in your vicinity.

Woah that Squidboard tournament looks cool. I'm not sure I'm up for going comp with Splatoon, but if there's a GAF team I'll be rooting for y'all.
I think it can be less verbose or more subtle. Like "Quad Battles of Squid Squads"? I dunno.

And remember, I use the custom, no bombs or echolocator for me. Maybe I should try going back to the standard and adjusting my playstyle for that stage though
edit: Ah the good old days of rollers charging forward and not trying anything else

Squid squads? Then i'll throw out this from last night "A communication error has occurred"
The point is to be deadpan.

I feel like the center area of Blackbelly can be somewhat claustrophobic for ranged weapons, so it's not a place you want to be caught in for too long. I've had some luck with the Dual Squelcher on that map, but mostly hanging around the borders (not down on the bottom level) or, in limited situations, the sniper perches. Problem is anything from a roller to an Aerospray can be lurking in those pockets around the center tower and you don't have the space to react to it.
Two separate times I hit RD direct with blaster and he didn't die.
I exclusivly use the strike to take out beakons. Beware!

I wish the game would take an automatic screen shot of the match results if you want to plop it on the miiverse. There's so many matches that are overtime wins that would be awesome to have shared but can't cause there was no way to save it.
Yes, you missed it. With Luna or regular Blasters, you want to jump to keep moving. Blasters virtually stop when shooting.

I think there is some lag with RD. He killed me with a kraken when he was no where near me.

Yup, it's the way most smart blasters play. Though last night I was able to snipe a bunny hopper twice which felt so good ;3;

I'll probably stick with it as well. It's a fairly solid weapon as it is, even with Inkzooka getting nerfed. This is like Ryu getting Metsu Hadoken nerfed. Ryu is still a solid character outside of his ultra.
Edit: whoops n/m I was wrong, it has Splat Bombs not Burst Bombs. So Splattershot is the only weapon in the game with Burst Bomb Rush???
Hmm, I guess Bamboozler will be last of the unique weapons to be released. How many more known unreleased weapons we still have based on the datamine?
There's still the rapid blaster pros, the h-3 nozzlenose, splatling variants, sploosher variants, various custom versions of the existing weapons, doesn't seem like a lot left to me. Two or three more months to get everything maybe? I guess that will be time for another big update.

From the tumblr
More breaking update news! The Splatling is a new main weapon type. After charging up Splatling weapons, they can spray a rapid-fire barrage of ink at blinding speed. While this charge time can be tricky to account for, few can compete with their attack power and shot range.
That camo hoodie. Those sneakers are pretty fresh too. Edit: Oh thought the blue shades were the sneaker colors, turns out it's just the shadow of the splatling. Meh.
I guess we're getting two new weapons together with the update.
Oh man the wait for the update to finish downloading will be painful.
There will likely be more completed weapons in the august update hidden in the files. And variants are still treated as new weapons. They haven't released only an alternate set as the only new weapon in an update. It's always been a new weapon or a new weapon + old weapon alternate.
There will be so much to do. Do we start a bunch of private bucket-only rooms right away? Bumper brushes? There are too many options!!
Probably more. Launching two "main weapon classes" with only one weapon set in each seems limiting.
I'm gonna say that this update won't be very huge in filesize.
Splatoon itself isn't big.
It's 610 mb
NoA has a deal with a frozen yogurt chain in NA. Won't happen.
