Rainmaker

[ReeSquidGig]

When you play rainmaker, do you ever get knocked off of the volcano thingy the second you are about to win, though we still won the battle it wasn't a knockout, but it was 100% to 56% in distance it was 0 to 44, HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE? And when you're losing by a lot from distance, and the other team gets the rainmaker at the last second, and runs al the way back to their side so you cant get the rainmaker in time? that happens to me almost all the time, I really wish they'd block you from retreating with the rainmaker, because I find that so "cheat-ful" to do that, and I lost my rank because of that.

Did the round timer reach 0? You were probably so close to the goal it counted it as 100% despite being knocked away from the pedestal, but not being on it you technically couldn't be eligible for a complete knockout.

Not the timer, the distance was at 0, I don't know how but it was. Though, It is funny when you run out of time, and you get splatted Automatic-ly by the rainmaker, ink from the opposing team, that helped me win because it WAS going through overtime, I do not like overtime! that made me mad the first time I lost because of overtime.

It sounds like the game only checks player presence on the pedestal as a requirement for a complete win, and not distance. It seems like it would be a non-issue in 99.5% of all matches though.

I do not like overtime!

Yeah sure, overtime is where emotions run high and things start to get real. You've gotta pull off the incredible unseen "hail Mary" play during OT. Your opponents will respect you for it. (They'll laugh at your futile effort)

One time during rainmaker, in overtime, I was the only one left, everyone else got knocked out, so I was hiding the whole time, (of course that was the port mackerel stage that I hate,!!! so I started my bomb rush, and everyone else on the opposite team got knocked out too, so I did my victory dance while everyone kept saying booyah!, and I took the rainmaker and won, I thought the same thing would happen in the next battle, but I THOUGHT, we lost during overtime on the flounder heights stage, I don't like they stage at all when its rainmaker. "squids" always cheat and jump off of the building and win without the other team knowing...

Tip use an Ink mine where you'd think the person with the rainmaker will go and use a seeker where the rainmaker is in plain sight and on a leveled ground where you think he/she will hide (though they cant hide its a bright light where they swim at.)

That sounds like it actually might have been a glitch. o.o People can splat you when you're mid-animation. Usually though, the game will stop the counter at 2 points or 1 point. It depends on how far into the animation you were when you were splatted. I've been splatted but still achieved a knockout because the game was lagging. Other than that.... I've never actually seen or heard of the counter stopping at 0 but not rewarding a KO. Usually it kicks back to at least 1 if it didn't register you making the landing.

So it definitely sounds like a glitch if it stopped your distance at 0 and didn't kick you back. The game probably registered kicking you back but it didn't actually show up as it was supposed to. But it is very possible to be killed mid-animation and it is the most annoying thing about Rainmaker lol. :P
