Flareth
Inkling Fleet Admiral
I had a story to tell, but it wasn't very witty. So let's just say, I had a brain fart and thought the Kraken who took out the two squids in front of me was one of my teammates.
At least you do notice the hair glow. >_>Not referring to any individual moment, but... I have a terrible habit of seeing an opponent with glowing hair who I know for a fact has either Bubbler or Kraken and who appears to be exposed enough for me to get two sloshes onto them, optimistically assuming that nobody could possibly react quickly enough to use their Special in that, like, 0.3-second time-frame. Worst part is that, naturally, I'm using one of the worst weapons for pushing those Specials away, so the outcome is usually a foregone conclusion.
If it makes you feel better, specials can't be activated if you're holding the RM.I played a Rainmaker match in Walleye Warehouse; near the end of the round, I had the Rainmaker, and I had Kraken ready to engage, but I casually walked up a few ramps in the face of enemy fire without even realizing I could've gone Kraken. I got splatted just 11 paces from the goal, failing to achieve a knockout, but securing the victory nonetheless.
Speaking of which, I'm surprised I've never been baited by an opponent to shoot at their landing zone only for a surprise Kraken to fall from the sky.Having watched a few matches of Splatoon on YouTube and seeing what results when it happens, I've become rather leery of Squid Beakons. I'll tear 'em down, and I'd scout the skies a bit to make sure nobody's Super Jumped to it. More often than not, there's nobody there, but it doesn't hurt to check—if there is someone coming, you've spared yourself the trouble of having to hunt down an intruder and cleaning up their mess.
Well, squidiot me forgot to do that earlier in a match on Kelp Dome, taking out the Beakon but not checking for any Super Jumpers. So me and a teammate are about to hop over the ramp leading to the rightmost corner of the map (from our spawn), when all of a sudden *BAM!* as the guy who Jumped to that Beakon activated his Kraken just before he landed.
I should try doing that some time...
WOw. I would be pretty salty thereI had the closest match ever today in piranha pit Splatoon zones.
My team and me played very bad during almost the whole game. The opposing team's counter was on 3, ours on 97. We somehow pull off a wipe as the timer runs out and go into overtime. We then proceed to eliminate all opponents time and time again.
Then, at the last second before we get the lead, this random splattershot Jr. activates his bubbler, kills 2 people, claims a zone back and ends overtime. Our counter was on 4.
That match certainly was intense. If the jr. had activated the bubbler half a second later, we would've won.
Nah, I wasn't. I usually don't get salty, and we wouldn't have deserved the win anyway. The other team did way better overall.WOw. I would be pretty salty there
