Sitting at 719/720 EXP needed to hit level 50, I decided to switch from the CJS that I had been dominating with all night back to my roots (Sort of) with the Permanent Inkbrush. I had played the standard Inkbrush almost exclusively for the entire summer of Splatoon's release and despite having all but dropped it from my regular rotation, it still remains my most-turfed weapon and holds a special place in my heart. The Permanent Inkbrush allows me to play my favorite weapon while actually having a usable kit! What better way to hit level 50 than with a more powerful version of my original weapon?
Immediately, I regretted my decision. We rolled Port Mackerel (I spawn camped every team on there tonight while I was using the CJS... justsayin') and the opposing team had a Custom Range Blaster, a Bamboozler MK I, .52 gal and Fresh Squiffer. Meanwhile, our team was a Fresh Squiffer, myself, a Splash-o-Matic and some kind of slosher. Natually, we were out-zoned right away and the other team pushed us back. Hard. The CJS would've come in REALLY handy then, so that I could actually push back and gain some momentum. Instead, I had to hang back and toss bombs while trying to find a way to get the drop on someone with the brush. The clock ticked. Finally, I sprung my Kraken and took out their Squiffer while also catching someone super jumping. I managed to also nab the Custom Range Blaster right before my special ran out and my entire team surged forward as one. Our Splash-o-Matic hit his Suction Bomb Rush as we reached their open. We ended the game with a huge lead, embodying everything I hate about Turf War haha. I only broke even in K/D (4/4), but I was also the only member of my team to even accomplish that much. What a way to reach level 50.
Also, if I may continue my boasting, I accidentally started a game of ranked with the Berry Splattershot Pro after playing Squads (And getting rolled over by ex-Team Paradise while I was in a tri-squad ROFL) and ended up DOMINATING. We knocked them out in no time flat and I was able to make a huge play by flanking around from the right side of Walleye while my team took the tower. I jumped back to the tower to help get it to their plat, leaped off and hit my Bomb Rush to keep them from approaching, as well as using my actual gun to remove an opposing Splattershot (Tentatek or Wasabi, idr) and a Custom Range Blaster that were trying to swim through my bombs. Only 5/2, but when the game is over that fast you've only got time for that much. :P
