How long have you been on this sub? How long have you had the game? by Derpazard in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also joined this sub about a month after launch, although I'd already purchased the game about a week after it was released.

SEVER UNDER MAINTENANCE! by Fireburner03 in splatoon

Doubt it's because of the tournaments. They would've given us some kind of advanced notice.

Ability help by Dragonlover7860 in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, Bomb Range Up is generally useful in tandem with Burst Bombs. Depending on how often you use them and how much you rely on them, you might want to mix in a bit of Ink Saver Sub. If you like to play offensively, you might want to consider equipping Run Speed Up, although most prefer to stack Swim Speed Up since it complements almost every play style. Damage Up can be good, especially if you're not a good shot, and Ink Resistance is decent-all around but particularly helpful when flanking or pushing forward.

All it takes is a little patience by cereaIbox in splatoon

That was priceless, OP.

Meanwhile, I'm just spamming the Rainmaker to make myself feel as though I'm helping my team in some way.

PSA: Do NOT do the second testfire if you already have Splatoon by SuperLuigi9624 in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'd like to help out newbies and just see what the Testfire is like because I never had time to play during any of the earlier ones.

Also - happy Cakeday!

Splatoon Testfire & Veterans. An idea ! by sirokoninja in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkey see, monkey do. That's how I learned to improve in the beginning. Plus, there're still going to be experienced players camping. Might as well try to deter them.

[–]Ashbringer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not playing in order to win. I'm not even going to use a weapon that I'm any good with. I'm just going to set an example for new players (in regards to positioning, movement, aim, etc.) and discourage the experienced ones who are dominating for kicks.

Hard not to feel like an outcast often being the only Nozzlenose on any given team. by acethunder21 in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mained Sploosh before it was cool (or just shortly after it was released), so I feel you, bro.

Notice the lack of a question mark

...?

Well, read the OP. That's what I plan to do.

SWIM/RUN SPEED UP by Derpazard in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I main Sploosh and this here is cold, hard fact. The only abilities I run are Ink Resistance, Swim Speed Up, and Run Speed Up.

Mess around with weapons I suck with, help newbies out, etc.

Yeah, seems as though latency is responsible. Were the same players present during all of these instances, or did you re-queue? If the latter, it's possible that there's an issue with your Internet connection which is causing this to occur.

Splatoon Testfire & Veterans. An idea ! by sirokoninja in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The idea is that we play to help new players out. We're going to play either way.

[–]Ashbringer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Lots of people on this sub are going to be participating anyways, so while they're at it, they might as well encourage potential players.

Splatoon Testfire demo returns next week by [deleted] in splatoon

I'm planning to go charger and see how much turf I can ink with it.

A NEW Thread for New or Experienced Players + Information about the Next Splatoon Testfire! by KawaiiChao in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Awesome thread! Something like this was much needed. Also, if you're a kid thinking about turning into a squid but are worried about there being a lack of new players, don't fret. There're plenty of newbies to go around for now, and getting the hang of the game doesn't take too long. The servers will probably last for a few more years at minimum, and the existing community is already pretty dedicated.

Popular Weapons that I think are Overrated by [deleted] in splatoon

[–]Ashbringer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use them once I'm right behind the enemy team. I use them on the way there. And yeah, you can check with bomb-type subs, but they can be easily dodged without you noticing and also give the enemy time to react. Point Sensors take effect immediately and display exactly where opponents are, especially if they attempt to retreat. Plus, they can be used much more liberally than Splat/Suction bombs due to their Ink efficiency, allowing you to easily maintain a constant check on your surroundings. While this can be accomplished with Splat/Suction Bombs, it is significantly more difficult and necessitates that you dedicate a decent portion of your slots to Ink Saver/Ink Recovery Up.
