    Getting used to the vertical flick

    Hey everyone, it’s been a while! Hope y’all have been enjoying the game! I’m a Roller main, and even though I love the vertical flick, it’s seriously throwing off my muscle memory. I feel really awkward using the Roller now because I’m not confident enough that my inputs will give me the result...

    Any tips for ranking to S+?

    You’re welcome! For Rainmaker, it’s really just a matter of learning the best paths for each map via trial and error (or reading about it/watching videos!). There’s only so many maps, so it shouldn’t take that long. Of course, in a real match, you may have opportunities that require you to use...

    Any tips for ranking to S+?

    I’ve been in S+ for a little while and ranked down today from messing around too much with weapons I’m not very good with. Because I’m so used to S+ now, I’ve noticed very big differences in the way S and S+ players, well, play. Here’s a couple of them, and some advice: S ranks don’t push fast...

    The Bragging Thread

    On Moray Towers Rainmaker S rank yesterday, the match started with one of my teammates disconnecting. In order to compensate for the missing player, I practically threw myself at the Rainmaker and carried it to the 40 mark early on all by myself while dodging and splatting foes with it. That...

    ☆ Perfect Team Mate? | Gaming Etiquette

    Booyah teams are great—even if we lose I can feel like we had fun. I always drop a Nice when I see a teammate get a kill, avenge me, or defend my superjump spot (always booyah when you land safely from a superjump!). I especially love it when I’m playing a charger and there’s another charger on...

    Any tips for ranking to S+?

    I’m a good enough S rank that I (very) frequently rank up to S+, but S+ kicks my butt constantly and drops me back to S as soon as I get there. It took me ages to first get to S+, though. S+ is on a whole other level, it’s pretty daunting. But don’t let my experience discourage you! I feel...

    PLVSAA is Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney, a crossover, and DGS is Dai Gyakuten Saiban (The Great Ace Attorney), a spinoff that features Phoenix’s ancestor as its protagonist! If you’re so inclined, the entire game has been subbed in English on YouTube! I started watching it recently and it’s...

    1) Yes, though I’ve never played it. 2) I don’t remember exactly, but I have gotten my vibe meter up to something like 30 in a Splatfest once. 3) I can’t remember any specific moment. I love it when I carry my team to victory with my Krak-On though! 4) Shu Takumi originally wanted to make a game...

    Can someone explain

    Could they have been hanging out inside the palm tree out of bounds? I thought they’d fixed it, though.

    1) Pretty bad. I refuse to put my head underwater and I get tired easily, plus I don’t know how to float in place. I can swim short distances but that’s it. 2) Sea turtles. There’s something about the way they move that’s really relaxing to me. 3) I crossed a river on a boat once when I was a...

    Funny Lag Moments

    Never thought I’d see two Rainmaker tornadoes on screen at the same time. It was kind of terrifying. Now I’m curious what a mode with several Rainmakers would be like…

    Oh, tagged again! Thank you! (I’m pretty sure I missed someone tagging me at some point—sorry, it’s kind of tough for me to participate actively in threads, especially threads like these). Definitely the Squid Girl blue, it’s my favorite ink color in the game. Maaaaybe? I like the theory of...

    Funny Lag Moments

    During the introduction when the camera panned over our team, ink bullets were flying into us from off-screen. Turns out our Splattershot Pro somehow had been allowed to move before the rest of us and was shooting at us while standing in front of the spawn! :p The lobby had been pretty weird...

    Global Testfire Redux!

    I can still do that pretty often in S rank Port Mackerel Rainmaker :p You never know what you’re going to get around the next corner, and they never see it coming. I headed back into the Testfire yesterday and I have some more stories to tell! Saw someone in squid form moving on the (uninked)...

    Global Testfire Redux!

    They seemed pretty confused to me even without my interventions, haha :p I just hope the newbies don’t get discouraged by the amount of people who didn’t play fair in the Testfire. That sounds absolutely horrible. And it must have looked pretty funny to players who weren’t aware of what you...
