    So... The Inkbrush isn't viable?

    Cheered me up a treat; sometimes people like that bring you up in mood, instead of bringing you down like they intended.

    So... The Inkbrush isn't viable?

    YES. Thank you for finally saying it. The Brush is a support weapon, and a good team is the only way to climb the ranks with it. - In Tower Control, you'll never take the tower by yourself, nor can you be expect to hold it at all. You can only help your teammates approach the tower, keep...

    How many of us have made it in to S+ Rank?

    I feel like I've been playing for 5 HUNDRED hours and I still suck ;( B- rank forever. Why me? I practice more than anyone!

    So... The Inkbrush isn't viable?

    I took a shot at using the Octobrush today: on advice, I used it in Turf Wars too, but it felt a bit too easy, so I returned to Ranked after a few games. On the plus side, it has ended my loss streak and put me back at Rank B 30 (I stopped on a high note!) At first I couldn't wrap my head...

    So... The Inkbrush isn't viable?

    Must be true, because I had no idea that I shouldn't say it. - With the other weapons, my mind goes blank. I have no idea what to do in close combat, my shots miss or don't reach the target, and I can't do the advanced techniques no matter how hard I try. - The Inkbrush makes me feel useful...

    So... The Inkbrush isn't viable?

    I've been attempting to learn to do better at the game in general. Unfortunatly there's very little I can do on my own, because I'm not a very smart person, low IQ and all. So I thought I'd try and join a group or squad, and lend what I can to them, while being taught how to play at the same...

    Next EU splatfest: Zombies vs Ghosts

    I was really looking forward to this splatfest; never played one before, but I haven't won a single game yet! It feels like the world is better at this game than me ;(

    I'm sick of ________

    Being stuck in B rank, and not being able to carry my team alone like all the S rankers. I want to be good at something like the rest of you, damn it ;(

    My personal 'rule of thumb' tier list

    Great, all 3 of my favourite weapons are low tier; the standard Splattershot, Inkbrush and Roller. Lovely. :/

    Corrupted data :O

    Don't suppose this has happened to anyone else? It means I've lost my weapons and ideal gear, progress in the story, titles, rank and other stuff. Lost some data for other games too, like Smash Brothers, but Splatoon is the one I invested in most. Shame really, but I have no idea how it happened. :(

    I think I have the world's largest losing streak

    Eh heh, sorry, all I have is a phone for that, and it refuses to let me save videos longer than 1 minute for some reason. :p A majority of my big losses are in Splat Zones; if I lose in Tower Control, things are generally closer for comfort. In Splat Zones, it's almost always a whitewash. I...

    I think I have the world's largest losing streak

    So around a month ago, I worked hard to reach rank A- and all was well in the world. Now I think I must've just had some luck in my matchups, because since that day, I've yet to win a single ranked game. That's right, not even a single win! That puts me all the way back at C- again. I try all...

    Ink Brush: Analysis and Thoughts thread

    That's the tricky part; I find the Ink Strike really useful for supporting my team's captures. I'm not sure I could trade it out for something that requires me to push the frontlines, when my playstyle is to slip around the fights. There are other brushes coming though, right?

    Ink Brush: Analysis and Thoughts thread

    I'm having trouble in Tower Control with the Ink Brush. In particular against blasters; it's kinda like playing as the Spy in Team Fortress 2 versus a Soldier. If, for any reason your sneak attack fails, they one-shot you. :(
