Topic: Splatoon - OT

@Late, that sounds amazing. I hope you can feel my mixture of jealousy and admiration from across the Internet.

@Kinan, hello and sympathies from B-rank purgatory. I live here, too.

Though I've been playing since launch, I've never seriously payed much attention to my rank; the completionist in me mostly focuses on upgrading gear. Lately, I'm focusing a bit more on rank. Gonna try sticking only to my best modes — Tower Control and Rainmaker — to see if that helps me get out of the B void. I tend to win most Tower Control matches and go about 50/50 in Rainmaker, but I get slaughtered in Splat Zones, especially when I play with mostly Japanese players during the evening hours.

Does anyone want to do squads when the mode switches over to RM?

In my experience Splat Zone is the hardest mode to win with some consistency, in particular in the lower ranks. I'm also trying to fight my way back to A rank but it's a long hard slog

It's hard to win unless you're stubborn and cowardly

As a charger user I find Splat Zones to be the easiest to win. It's pretty straightforward and once my team control the zone(s) I can snipe from a safe point.

The skatepark and Moray Towers are a little more frantic though.

For me it depends more on the players on both teams (including myself, on some days you're just not in good shape), I don't find any of the three modes easier or harder by themselves (maybe in combination with specific maps though).
But Splat Zone is definitely the less stressful mode, because you don't have to chase a RM or Tower all over the map.
Rain Maker on the other hand is the tactically most demanding mode, judging from tactical mistakes made by other players or myself.

So no one wanting to form a squad with me later tonight then? (or watch stream to see how it turns out?) o.o

@Megumi: I'd love to but I won't be at home until ~10 PM (GMT-6). Will you be still playing?

Timezones confuse me...lol
It's almost 9pm here, when I do start it'll only be for an hour or two. If you can't play it's fine then, I'm mainly just wanting to see how well the stream is.

@Megumi: how far away are you from playing?

I'm guessing...20-ish minutes....watching a movie. lol

@Megumi: It's ok. I'll be home in about 2 hours

Got back from a bunch of ranked battles. I'm back to 0 points overall again

...Ok, I've been trying to get Youtube to work, tried everything...gave up in a ragequit-style...whatever, I got in a crappy mood. I'm trying Twitch again, just go here. lol
EDIT: Meh, no one showed up... :/

Jesus Christ. Six Tower Control matches tonight and one victory. One of those nights where I'm doing alright, but getting matched with teammates who just aren't there.

So not fresh.

EDIT: Didn't want to double-post, but in news completely unrelated to my B-rank woes, the Food Network just did a Splatoon-related bit:

Not much I could do, on Twitch my streams are just super laggy and downright bad, and Youtube...well, can't even get the software to work on there. And I've tried several.

StreamEez (since I have a Hauppauge capture device), it won't even pick up my Youtube channel when I try to login there. Tried Xsplit, and apparently it costs money even though i downloaded the free version. :/
And OBS...I can't even figure that out, can't even get it to display my Wii U. All the tutorials I've tried to find were very old and didn't help at all. :c

Not really...don't really care about it anymore. :c

I'm going to grill burgers this weekend for the Splatfest. Am I taking this too seriously?

Too seriously? No, but you should be making pizza!
