I'm working on this, but one of my mistakes is not remembering that retreat is often a perfectly viable option when I'm outgunned.

Was the other gun you were using the Dual Squelcher? I believe that there will be a second splash-o-matic variant released, but it's not out yet.

Yeah, the Pro's not quite so good in turf wars, but I have far too much fun splatting all those poor, outranged Aerosprays, Rollers, and even Gals. I sometimes like to warm up a bit with it in Turf War before jumping into ranked anyway, as the Pro's accuracy doesn't help when I forget how to aim.

Has anyone been able to utilize this? I simply can't spare the attention to look at my map unless I know I need to check it to see where I'm needed. Since the game doesn't warn you that people are visible, I don't think this will be all that useful. Good find, nonetheless.

As for weapons: I made it to 20 in a couple of days of hard playing, so it doesn't take too long to get all the weapons. Even then, it takes an even shorter time to get to some of the best weapons like the Tentatek Splattershot and the .52 Gal. Even the very first weapon you're given is pretty...

From my experience, the Echolocator gets the most mileage out of this, as it can reasonably be activated at any time with no downside, unlike any other special. Throwing a free fill-up to double the time I can cover enemy turf in a large place like Kelp Dome is quite useful.

I would argue that the .52 Gal has 3 clear weaknesses: 1) As I believe has been mentioned, accuracy is key. A missed shot with this weapon tends to more costly than with most others. Of course, this can generally be made a non-issue by skilled players. 2) If the opponent has even one more...

Yeah, this is correct as far as I know, but I believe this particular use of the Splat Wall is being discussed in a separate thread here. Alternatively, here is a thread for discussing the Splat Wall in general.

I think I agree with this. I tend to take a more defensive role when using the Pro anyway, so I find the Forge variant more useful for that.

Wait, does placing a Splash Wall in the tower's path allow it to splat people on the tower? Otherwise, I don't see how 1) and 2) come into play. As for 3), the Wall only blocks one side. I agree that the .52 Gal is quite good, but it doesn't seem to be especially broken. I've mostly been using...

Yeah, I admit that was just careless of them.

Whoops, it turns out the actual name of the sub is Splash Wall. I'm changing the thread title to reflect this.

I think that the Forge does more than that. Point Sensor is rather useful with the base gun for tracking escapes and preventing approaches, as well as providing team support for those you can't catch, while the Inkzooka's strength is not just in its range (which I believe is still longer than...

I'd like to hear what people think of the Inkwall sub weapon. I'm not too familiar with it's basic uses, but I can think of a few obvious ones: -Offensive: block off enemy's line of sight, and shoot him through it. -Defensive: block off enemy's approach, and escape. -Trap: block off enemy's...

Again, I don't agree with the complaint against content, but I think I see why it exists, at least in general. People may be comparing Splatoon to a work-in-progress game. An example I'll pick (because it looks interesting) is LEGO Worlds, which is an open world LEGO game where your character...
