How do you like to play?

[Paragon-Yoshi]

Might seem like an odd and especially vague question.
Since it could mean literally anything.
And you can answer anything really.


So yeah, let me give you my personal answer to that question, hopefully covering all the meanings it could have.

In terms of "Weapons".
I still like using "Roller Weapons", Stuck to the Krak-On Roller for a long time
But I got back to "Shooters" and do well with them.
Used the generic Aerospray most often.
Recently though, I got back to the "Splattershot Jr." and realized just how good it is.
I do really well with it.

Though I get back to Rollers every now and then.
I use the "Gold Dynamo Roller" most of the time and I am not doing too bad with it.
(I will admit though that I like it, because it reminds me of DIO's Steam Roller. :P)
Though it depends on the maps, that are available.

I would like to get into the "Carbon Roller".
By itself, not a bad weapon. But I can't handle neither Burst Bombs nor the Inkzooka.
They just don't work for me.

Also like using the Octobrush. Tho I need more practice with it.


Chargers I cannot handle.
Didnt do too well with em.


As for gear: I am your generic fan of Octoling Wear.
Seriously, I always use the Armor and Boots. And I NEVER take them off.
They just look too good.
Head Gear I have a few favs and I switch them from time to time.

But primarily, I am the kinda guy, who goes with what looks cool.
And a gear can have the best abilities ever, but if it looks ugly, I won't get it.
Even though I would like to have better abilities myself.
(Now you know why I opened up that other topic about "Spyke Services" and "Transferring Abilities". :P)


And in general, I am a Casual player, who just plays for fun.
I ONLY play Regular.

Ranked matches are nothing for me. I've decided that from get-go.
Competitive is not my thing.
Tho maybe I will give those game modes a try, once we get Private Matches.


All in all, I am a laid-back, casual player, who only plays normal Turf Wars.
Just wanna have fun playing.
And I don't need to prove anything to anyone, to have that.


Welp, so much from my side.
What about you guys? : 3

[ILikeKirbys]

Aggressively.
I want to go forward, toward the other team's base. I always get into combat with this approach, so I need strong weapons, but I don't want to spend a lot of time inking my path, so I need something that can ink turf fairly quickly. I hate having to rely on my teammates to deal with anything right now, since my teammates may not come through, so I prefer having a weapon that can handle any enemy decently well.
And it has to be fairly easy for me to use, since I suck. So Chargers are right out, since I can't aim those to save my life.
So to that end, I like the Gold Dynamo Roller. It can hit fairly wide, decently long areas with its HUGESWINGS, and it has Splat Bombs for reaching faraway enemies (Chargers, mainly), and Inkstrikes are good for hitting wherever I want, so I can use them to reach enemies I can't swing on or just ink turf; it's flexible, is what I'm trying to say. And its ink efficiency is decent, so I can put on Ink Saver Sub to make those Splat Bombs cost a bit less. Sure, it's a bit slow, but it's workable in all situations since it has good range and great power (helped by my Damage Ups).
I also like Octobrush, which is a bit odd. It's quick, so I can get around faster, and it has decent power with alrightish range, so I can go into combat with a decent chance of victory, and it has the Kraken, which is just awesome. However, its sub is a bit weird for my playstyle; Squid Beakons are alright if your teammates are good, but otherwise I just drop them so I can jump back to them when I get splatted (happens fairly often), and it leaves me with nothing against Chargers or anyone who outranges me except Krakening, which isn't a good thing. Still, I enjoy it, and that has to count for something.
Ultimately, I want to enjoy myself. And I do.
And I like the Octoling Armor too. It's nice. Other gear changes depending on how I feel, but that generally sticks.

I go custom blaster, but I'm really liking the new range blaster. It might take some getting used to, as the optimal range is further. I play aggressively, but that isn't necessarily the best play style for blasters.

Your playstyle really sounds like HIGH DIO.
I like it. :D

Speaking of which, someone needs to make a Gold Dynamo Roller version of THIS


Also, another Octoling Gear Wearer?!? :O
HIGH FIVE!!! ^w^

I didn't understand, what he was trying to say to begin with. X_X

Blasters are interesting for sure.
Tho I am not really good with them yet.

I will give them another try, once we have Private Battles. ;)

Haha, it kinda does, doesn't it? Hadn't seen that until now (didn't realize the JoJo anime would be redoing Part 3, definitely going to look it up).

I second this. I'd do it myself, but I suck at drawing.

Well, when you do give them another shot, here are a few tips from a squidiot who decided they weren't for him:
1) Jump 'N' Shoot. This will help with their slow movement while firing, meaning you don't have to get wrecked when you miss by a bit.
2) If you're using the regular Blaster, Disruptors are awesometastic. The usefulness of being able to slow enemies down so you can one-shot them is hard to overstate, it pretty much makes this weapon. Killer Wails are nice too, if you can aim them well (I don't think I've ever hit anything with them, but that's just my crappy aim).
3) For the Custom Blaster, get lots of Bubblers, you pretty much need them with this weapon since you don't have Disruptors for easy one-shots. You should play more ambushy while building it and run away if you're spotted, but once you have it you can rush to the enemy, pop Bubbler and wreck anyone who can't keep you away.
4) For the Range Blaster, SPLASH WALL IS CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS, USE IT EVERY TIME YOU THINK YOU SEE AN ENEMY OR THINK A CHARGER'S AIMING AT YOU. Also, run away before pulling out the Inkstrike; you don't want to get splatted while you're deciding on a good spot to drop your veritable maelstrom of ink.
5) For the Luna Blaster, get good at getting close, because you have very little range. Ink Mines are good for keeping areas inked in your color a little longer (and splatting the unwary), but otherwise not that great. Inkzooka is beyond awesome for this weapon, you can pull it out to stomp Chargers or destroy enemies just outside of Blastering range.
6) For the Rapid Blaster, use Damage Ups, they make this thing usable. The Ink Mine tip above applies here, and the Bubbler makes this a decent choice since you can guarantee your survival for a brief period with it. Finally, stay at midrange, you really don't want to get close with this Blaster.
7) For the Rapid Blaster Deco, use Suction Bombs. Lots of 'em. And consider Special Charge Up, for getting more frequent Suction Bomb Rushes.
Of those, I'd recommend the regular Blaster for getting used to how they work, the Range Blaster if you prefer to play defensively, and Luna Blaster if you want to attack aggressively.

 

[Hawk]

My favourite weapons so far are the N-ZAP'85 and the 52 Gal Deco.
I also like the Dual squelcher and the Krak On- Splat roller. The only ones I don't like very much are blasters.
That being said I'm also awful with chargers, I usually practice with the Girl Amiibo missions before trying, but a real battle much worse and I fail misserably.
So I usually go with a shooter and the echolocator or inkstrike. I change my pace a bit during the battle, at first I try to hold and secure position until I see an open spot and then I get more agressive and quickly move foward, I use my special if avaliable and go for the kill.
I don't really know what I'm talking about, in mid battle I really just go with the flow (do you kids still say that? or is it not "fresh" anymore?), look at the map whenever I have a moment to breathe and quickly decide what should I do next.
I think I don't have much luck regarding the equipment abilities, all my good gear has always something to boost the special and/or the sub weapons but I prefer things like speed (both run and swim), defense, ink recovery up, at least one ink saver (main) and with some weapons also attack.

 

[Captain Norris]

I am an offensive charger player personally. I hate staying at one spot in turf wars. I can usually get around 800 on the losing side on days where I am decent in turf war.

 

[Friendan]

1) Jump 'N' Shoot. This will help with their slow movement while firing, meaning you don't have to get wrecked when you miss by a bit.

Your accuracy decreases when you jump, however, the bullets tend to only got right from what I've seen, so just keep that in mind

4) For the Range Blaster, SPLASH WALL IS CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS, USE IT EVERY TIME YOU THINK YOU SEE AN ENEMY OR THINK A CHARGER'S AIMING AT YOU.

Remember to use ink saver sub!

6) For the Rapid Blaster, use Damage Ups, they make this thing usable. The Ink Mine tip above applies here, and the Bubbler makes this a decent choice since you can guarantee your survival for a brief period with it. Finally, stay at midrange, you really don't want to get close with this Blaster.

Range blaster kind of sucks so far, it has a way higher ttk than other shooters. Damage ups don't save it, unfortunately. However, the usefulness could go up if the meta eventually evolves into pick weapons coming into the equation, but I doubt that, considering high ttk, regenerating health, and slowish movement speed with the range blaster.

 

[ShinyTogetic]

I play... Technically?
until the buckets (main) come out in the update I pretty much have been using N-Zap 85 and 89 (secondary)
though I prefer the 85 because of better utility

Why would you use your waifu as a weapon?

I'm sure she wouldn't mind >w>

 

[Ars Nova]

With the Splash-o-matic I like to play aggressive. Try to get as much turf inked before the enemy can get to the center of the arena is always my game plan.

 

[ZypkerGaming]

I play aggressive or whatever gets me the most points. Usually I try and push my team center and use Inkstrikes to secure an area, since I use Aerospray RG.

 

[Setu]

I like to play smart by not playing aggressive.

:P It gets me a lot of points and it allows my team to advance forward :P.

 

[___shan]

I used to mostly play Turf Wars but now I prefer Ranked. Somehow it seems more even where in Turf I seem to always be on teams with godly players who stomp everyone or vice versa.

I alternate between rollers (krakon and splat) and the Splashomatic (sometimes NZap '89) and have played around with brushes a bit.

I don't find playing against the Dynamo Roller fun so I tend to leave a lobby quickly if I see one (on my team or the other one). One time today 3 people in the lobby had Dynamo Rollers :(

 

[Nukichuu]

i like to play every mode and i love every single weapon. I also love to go full movementspeed with light weight weapons like the aerospray

 

[DonkaFjord]

No matter the mode I like to lay down a ton of ink because a lot of my playstyle focuses on me moving around constantly to position myself better. I also am a bit reckless and love to blindly charge and evade using squid mode just to be an annoyance/distraction for my team. I love using squid beakons for their abilities but also because they are so distracting for the other team. I love short range weapons especially.

 

[Fightersword]

I like to watch chokes and just bar people out of areas and flanks that I don't want them at. I'm also extremely cowardly and run away when I get a slight fear of death, which I think carried over from my scout mindset in Tf2. Basically I roll hard as a support on most maps and try to find... other ways to deal with an enemy rather than colliding hard against them at mid.

Though I do like to be a bit more in your face in the start of the game to try and get the presence going and the ball rolling for us.
