one s2 rainmaker match where i found the team gathered near the top of mid like idiots (to my memory)

In case ya don't know, there isn't a way for Sting Ray and Crab Tank to exist in the same game. Combining them (I'm thinking retained swim form, frontal shielding, and telegraphed piercing railgun for secondary fire) is something you've long convinced me of.

Three tiers based on how effective I think each of them: Orange: Pal, this would speed up my reaction time by more than 1/20 second. Pink: Yo! Will they give me the gusto to use brain power on how opponents attack me? Gray: WHAT?! Can Splat Brella do this? Yellow: Wonder if I'll ever get good...

Ah, nice. If you can throw yourself up a wall, launching yourself on the ground should logically work.

Ya mean skill floor (feels harder to learn, instead of to master)?

Decav's one-shot hitbox is a real dent in my suspension of disbelief, but I say the weapon's in a healthy spot.

I have a somewhat different viewpoint on the roguelike archetype (though I assume you see the third statement as controversial instead of the second). The only game I got into with random permadeath "playthroughs" is Star of Providence. It's a top-down shoot-em-up with weapon classes whose...

If I find one thing "off" about Heavy Edit, it's that the main weapon barely stands out from other Splatlings. It has Nautilus's range, but can't store its charge. It takes from Hydra's DPS boost, but lacks the same versatility in range (only offset by the full charge being 0.5 sec faster and...

Assuming Splatsville's an anarchy, no one is there to ratify the sanctity of splatfest winners.

Painbrush's slide speed is slightly faster than Octobrush, though I feel like they should be the same.

since this was put in splat 2 gen, vanilla goo tuber has splashdown, but the main weapon's often seen as squiffer w/ extra steps. Bamboozler has missiles, which is strong, but I dunno how much curling bomb helps if you can make a trail with a 20-frame charge. If you're playing splat 3...

money money money getting gifts is a crapshoot and i know better than to gamble

Making some weapon classes faster is an advantage that can be pushed far enough that other classes are far weaker, to the point of enforcing fast pace as a type of mechanical difficulty. The earlier small maps may leave less in the way of positioning-based strategy, too. Given its basic use as...

i didn't learn to rip through the other team with a splattershot for nothing

s2 inkbrush and octobrush are buyable at levels 5 and 10, respectively
