U.S. version just seems overall more funny, which is too bad for European people

How are there still people who are level 20+ and rank B but still do shit like not getting on the tower when it's right there and the other team is dead right before the timer runs out and we're down on points? Or do shit like jump off the tower because a guy is getting close to you during overtime?
How are there still people who watch as half the enemy team dies, and their reaction is to stand back 20 feet and just see how things shake out once their team respawns?

Hey Kas, I just joined you lobby.
Online gaming in a nutshell. You've got to do everything yourself, consider everybody else on your team brain dead.
Yeah, I see you. Need one more person to join or I may just go Tri Squad.
Edit: NM we got a Squad
The pun about puns is in the eu version though since I just got it, or was that eu exclusive in the first place?

I've had like five matches today where we only lost Tower Control by a few points or overtime, and every time there was a point where, while we were in control and the coast was clear, apparently everyone who was on or near the tower decided to jump off and go lone wolf in the enemy side and assumed that someone would stay on it, or when I was on it they all decided "oh it's cool" [runs off as the other team surrounds me]. WE'VE LOST CONTROL OF THE TOWER! gee wonder how that happened
At one point during Splat Zones we still ended up winning but, there was a time where someone was walking right into our zone and the guy closest to it was so not paying attention that he jumped over to the guys who were holding down their zone by themselves.
I would like to continue progressing with charger but at some point if I don't take the tentatek to save the day, we just never win.
Today, on splat zones, there was one match with the e liter where I was the driving force on the tower but for urchin I can't lead and I never had good partner to rush while I opened the road for them. So when enough is enough, tentatek, and I always finish first and on the winning team, but I want to be a sniper!!!

Wait, it's still Tower Control? I though splat zones would be up.
Edit: Was that Zing's squad we fought? It is!

Lol it happens all the time, I get the feeling that nobody thinks half of the time. It's brilliant when I see all three of my teammates fighting at the spawn point, flailing over a tiny bit of land as they get spawn trapped instead of, oh you know, going for the other 90% of the map and swimming past the enemies. I think my teammates are sick, they watch me die in front of them and just chill out as the guy who killed me run circles around them. I just shake my head.

Once you get to the point in a match where your team mates are clustered together like 10 feet outside of spawn just shooting wildly at the other team boxing them in, is like watching your soul die in slow motion.
That or when it's ranked and your team decides to be very polite and not touch those nice expensive beacons you laid down because they're yours. Better swim right to the middle!
They probably listen to that new hip band, Krillex
Haha yeah it was. How random. Close match I thought we would've won at the end.
It's cathartic to read this rage from people who aren't me.

Hmm gonna look them up not familiar with them lol
lol yup I just swim right past them and paint the rest of the map while they keep each-other company in the one tiny corner of the map. I mean, they obviously need to paint that little area, it would impolite not to!
I remember one Splat Zone in particular where we got it to about 3 seconds and somehow lost control and the other team came back even with a hefty penalty. I felt so ashamed of my team and myself T_T
The best matches are the ones in which you get trashed, assume that the rest of your team lost connection and were kicked out of the game, only to realize that they were in fact playing, but were so bad that I thought that they weren't even there. Spooky.
I take pride in placing my beacons perfectly, like modern art, so I'd rage if my team never uses them!
Read an earlier part of the thread regarding losing points. It seems to take something into count, but I'm not sure what. I feel like they changed the default point loss for A+ to -12 with unbalanced ranks changing that to a possible -10.
The new points system doesn't seem like it is consistent with the same rank combinations either. And from what I understand, individual players on a team get a different amount of points (depending on their rank?).

Ours has a spot open; Triforce, R.D.Blax

I die a little inside when I place down beacons in perfect locations, then watch as the team instead decides to jump to me without Stealth Jump - giving away my hidden location, killing my chance at a surprise attack and then leaving them dead the second they land.
Don't think I got any of you on my list. I'll throw some requests out for future use.
While I'm waiting in a squad match I should be able to go to my friends list to send friends messages or add them. I'm waiting in a lobby and hoping one of my friends sees we have a spot open. Ridiculous.
What's your NNID?

That was hype
I wonder if we timed it right we would have more chance of finding each others squads
Same as username.
Just sent you a friend request. Still have one spot in our squad open.

Stop chasing after me Carbon Roller, there's a tower you have to defend!

Hmmm? Hmm, I thought there was a bucket that had Sprinklers and Kraken, guess that changed to Splash Wall at some point.
Are you using the grey Zapper? I think that one has Splat Bombs, so you could try using those to create space between you and the enemy Sloshers. If you're using the orange Zapper, then I guess you'll have to figure out how to out-maneuver them.

I'm gonna take a break for now, have fun with the squadding.
I disconnected in the lobby while we were searching for another team.

iirc someone suggested it takes into account your actual point count inside your rank and not just the rank. For example team A90 / A90 / A90 / A90 will lose 12 against team A10 / A10 / A10 / A10.
OK, so lots of things to catch back up on after sleeping in most of today (something I'm not quite proud of):
Inkbrush/Burst Bombs/Bomb Rush is the theory endgame for regular brushes. Everything that the brush has as a weakness is instantly negated with access to burst bombs. Climbing? Bomb the wall. Dude gets out of swing range? Bomb him. Dude is outside of swing range? Bomb him then close in and slash him. Want to distract but don't want to run in stupidly? Chuck bombs.
Please let this one happen Nintendo.
The 96 Gal is a thing I wanted for a while actually. I hate both of the loadouts with the weapon at current but love the weapon itself due to how much "fuck you" level firepower and reach it packs. If they ever made a 96 with this config, I'd never use another shooter weapon.
Rad, what brand is it?
Horrible times y'all. Going 1-3 because James went Super Saiyan with the bucket, Robotguy loves eating chargers alive and DKL is like SM239 Jr. with the Tentatek was not how I intended to go out.
We're totally running that shit back again tonight at least once. :lol
This entire look is kickass.
#FuckBuckets
Not even once.
Aw I thought this was going to be that adorable "BOO-MY" SFX that comes from the gamepad when female Inklings cheer on the team. :lol
I want that for a text message notification.
I'm just going to leave these here for the public.
Training With GAF - Can Brushes Work In Tower Control?: Training series is just me using private battles with GAF to test things without jeopardizing my rank. That said, so many silly things with sprinklers in this one. :lol
Bombs Over Booyah Base: Inkstrikes by the dozens.
CROSSFIRE: Didn't know they made DJ Octavio a playable character...
Calamari of Duty: Underpass at War [Veteran Difficulty]: In which Smashley decides to fully embrace the troll and I am now able to practice calligraphy eternally with all this fuckin' ink I'm covered in.
Training With GAF - The Salty Splatoon: Getting rocked when you use your main and try to learn with it when you don't use it often enough in one mode clearly means it's time to sit up and get real.
Sloshers Are Bullshit: Watch as four team members try to hold back a tsunami with the equivalent of a square of paper towel. No holding back, this weapon is going to be a pain in the ASS to deal with. Better get ready for four man Slosher teams during Splat Zone rotations!

Found some more ink resistance shoes on squid boards

It's going to be hilarious if this becomes my Zero/Vergil/Metaknight/Leo Whitefang [i.e. characters I'll never touch ever because of PTSD from dealing with them] in this game.
