    Are rollers less used these days?

    Guess that means it's time for me to pick up the Luna Neo and train up to be That One (Super Annoying) Squid :P

    Are rollers less used these days?

    Haha for me it's the opposite. Analog in Splatoon feels sooooo unnatural to me. And yea I wouldn't be surprised if you had to go through a learning phase with motion controls but the freedom in control is really worth learning for. Try spending some time each day in the firing range with gyro...

    I'm glad you understood! Can't say I can help much with your bad moods though :P

    Are rollers less used these days?

    Yea you're probably right. I hit 50 quite some time ago from TW mainly so I can't really recall how fast it'd level up if you kept winning in ranked, I did seem to remember that if all you did was lose then you probably wouldn't be leveling up much at all. Well do remember I mainly play TW and...

    Erm, just my personal opinion but if you're playing rollers without motion controls I think you're at a pretty big disadvantage. Being able to adjust your aim midswing as a Splat Roller/Dynamo is really important from my experience. Still, good job getting that Sploosh haha, I hate them :P

    Oops. Didn't mean to discourage you or anything. I actually elaborated a bit more in my reply to Award. When I said some players are indeed better, I mean they've become better than others by improving themselves. You've seen my old roller videos, did I look like I knew what I was doing back...

    Hmm, maybe my choice of words weren't the best. I don't mean strong players will get to the top with no issue, I meant to say they will ultimately get there if they keep at it. Now, I also don't mean 'strong players' as in 'naturally gifted' but rather as you keep playing and improving your...

    Are rollers less used these days?

    Levels are mostly an indicator of time spent and not actual skill. Rank doesn't necessarily indicate the actual player skill, although if someone has an S+, you can assume they know what they're doing at the very least. I don't have an alternate account so I never tried this but I think if...

    Are rollers less used these days?

    Yea that's the natural conclusion to arrive at, I'd still like to see if I can come up with good ideas though! :D Oh man, you copped out! I asked you for your definition so it's not a million snail question :P I'm sure you have your own quotas or expectations of others based on ranks and...

    Are rollers less used these days?

    Erm, I'm curious...how do they ruin their day or destroy their winstreak? I assume you mean the S players purposely play poorly when put into a team of A/A+ players?? Also Miirisa, strong players will naturally float up the ranks. Unless their luck is so bad where they keep having...

    Are rollers less used these days?

    Well, in my personal experience playing with a regular group of Japanese friends...my rank was mostly A- in that period (I was attempting to rank down, not by purposely losing games, just using harder weapons, to experience the B-rank hell people kept talking about) and I could frequently beat...

    Are rollers less used these days?

    I still haven't really dug into Carbon Deco. Was mostly training up on chargers or experimenting with other weapons after reading stuff on r/Splatoon haha. I'm sure I can come up with some stuff for the Carbon Deco in time :D What's a sane K/D by your definition though? Splatoon isn't a game...

    Custom Hydra Splatling: Analysis and Thoughts

    Personally I prefer CHydra if my goal is turfing and Hydra if I want to use Splat Bombs more. I haven't been playing either Hydra for a while now though so my impressions are a bit hazy, although I do remember skillful usage of Splat Bombs is very satisfying: like getting them to bounce exactly...

    Are rollers less used these days?

    At least Carbon has burst bombs to ink walls, Carbon Deco just cries haha. I've always felt that Octobrushes have been pretty good in general, not as specialized as either Inkbrush. Then again, I've barely spent much time playing Octos... Quite a lot of weapons can deal with Dynamos decently...

    Custom Hydra Splatling: Analysis and Thoughts

    Heh, I felt so dirty in that clip of me on Flounder Heights with that sprinkler placement that I had to take a shower under that same sprinkler :p TBH I can't come up with what I'd consider as a good catchphrase for CHydra...Maybe something lame like ReHydrate (referencing its superior turfing...
