1550p with the Aerospray MG/Seekers/Inkzooka.
Such a good feeling. Nice match!
Well, you win. I was proud of my 1,400 ish score. 1,500 is amazing. I too use Aero in Turf (which is where I got my 1,400 + score).
*bows down*
iirc it was 1576, 10-2? I don't remember the weapon, probably Custom Splattershot Jr or Aerospray RG.

I disliked it for Turf War oddly. I love how you can just jump from the center platform and soar to enemy base.
If COD was based off memory. There is room here to ahem, exaggerate a tiny bitt about the size of..your score.
Wish this game kept high scores though. My entire worth is based on it.
No
No, that's rank, high scores can be cheesed on scrubs.
It was the RG for me, with faster special charging perks and tenacity.
4/5 inkstrikes give you pretty much 1600 if you win.
Edt : corrected my error.
Doing the same, wasn't necessarily looking for a gaf lobby.
The most "wtf are you doing" jump I've seen was when I went to the bottom part of saltspray rig to charge my inkstrike. I figured a teammate would get close to the zone and I could jump to them and take control. Nope. They jump to me.
I got to rank B- and ranked down to C+ twice. I keep getting put on teams that frustrate me.
Points mean absolutely nothing, you can still lose with tons of those.
So probably not.
Yeah, that is my biggest gripe about this game. I've said it numerous times, but I don't think Matchmaking is good at splitting up teams evenly. Most of my games aren't close, and it's always one team dominating badly. And usually the team that loses, has one or two players that aren't pulling their weight.
That said, I guess I can't really blame matchmaking. I'm not sure how it would know how good a player is or isn't, especially when you are at the C- to C +rank. It's possible to not be good and get to Level 20, and it's possible to get to C+ as well, and also not be that good (although it's more difficult to pull this off in Ranked. You would have to get lucky and ride the coat tails of really good teams).
Agreed. Even if you are first and have the highest points, doesn't mean you played the map well (ie. were strategic, and were at the right places at the right time defending and pushing back). So I agree, being first/having a high score doesn't really = everything. There is a lot more to it then then that.
Still, it's nice to be proud of the highest score you have ever gotten (especially if you won that match).

I have mercy of my enemies - that way they can paint more turf so I can paint it over.
But really, High Score is dependent on how good your enemies are as well so you have MORE area to paint over. I think my highest was 1400~ with the Aerospray? Can't really recall it.

Just use the aerospray for more points, unless your trying to learn the roller as well
Main:
1. Ninja Squid
2. Opening Gambit/Last Ditch Effort (Seriously, this is giving me flashbacks to the stupid "Last Stand/Power Rush/Mega Rush" combinations I would make in the first Paper Mario)
3. Tenacity
Sub:
1. Swim Speed
2. Ink Saver
3. Bomb Toss?

1649p with the Aerospray RG (that's the gold one isn't it?) Can't remember the map but remember that score.
Best KDR was on Saltspray Rig with 11:1 using the Krak-on Roller.
I read your post wrong at first. Like "Seems like it's pretty popular over here". I was like huh, like it's popular for people over here to use Japanese names. Kind of like tribal tattoos.
Oops.
I used that for ages, but I think I might be moving long-term to the Dual Squelcher; the increased range is so much nicer. I get way too many mutual deaths with the RG.
I know, but playing with the aero just gets so mindnumbing after a while, I need some variety.
Yea, rank seems more like the equivalent, but it doesn't seem like people share their rank much outside of a casual mention.
You can lose with a high K/D as well though, but I was referring to overall K/D rather than individual K/D.
--------------------
It was just a cheeky comment about how people seem to share their high scores like people share their K/D, not really a serious comment.

In the games we were playing earlier you were doing pretty well with the Dynamo.
Do you like the Dual Squelcher better than the custom w/ Kraken? I'm thinking of making this my main for ranked.

I hit 1510 earlier today with the Splattershot Jr. Walleye Warehouse for me as well.

Oh okay.
For Aerosprays and Jr.:
Main:
1) Run Speed Up: Lets you move at an actually decent speed while moving and has a lot of oomph for the first two you put as a main. It's just really fucking good.
2) Quick Super Jump: I'm completely serious. What you do is stack it twice and combine it with Stealth Jump. It's not a matter of expecting to die. It's a matter of being able to go back to your base and to other teammates quickly, efficiently, and with a minimum risk of getting splatted while you're charging up your jump. It's a matter of when you *do* die being able to get back into the action.
3) Quick Respawn: Also completely serious. Once again, stack twice. It's similar to Quick Super Jump in that the reason I think it's so good is because it gives you more time to ink. Some of you may not die a lot but guess what? I die. A lot. So that's why I've went from using it as a joke to sometimes stacking it seriously.
Sub: Same as main actually, since by filling up a gear's sub slots with those abilities you can have the main be something like Ink Resistance Up, Stealth Jump, Ninja Squid, or Opening Gambit (for Splat Zones).
Aerosprays and Jr. don't really benefit much from things like Ink Saver, since they have great ink efficiency to begin with, or things that help with their specials since they can charge those easily anyways. Run Speed Up lets you go pretty fast while firing and the other two give me plenty more time to ink in a match. Of course, if I didn't die a lot then I would probably think differently about the Quick ____ abilities, but I usually die two to four times in a match and even just two times is enough to make 2x Quick Respawn worth it.
For Chargers:
Damage Up trumps all. The less you have to charge to splat the easier it is to actually win fights. It just trumps all else. This is a relatively recent metagame development but it has already proven to make me want to kill Smashley.
Not really but damn it Smashleyyyyyyyyyyyy stop splatting meeeeeee
After that there are a lot of other options since due to diminishing returns it would be silly to have all your main and sub slots be Damage Up. But there are so many good options for chargers I don't feel like ranking them now excuse me as I go off to watch Whose Line
1) Bomb Sniffer
2) Cold Blooded
3) Haunt
Tenacity's bonus is too inconsistent for me.
I hardly notice my sub abilities. As long as I have a good mix so my diminishing returns are minimal, I don't really care.
I haven't used haunt in a long time though.
World record!

haha yeah I had an extra 0 on accident. I edited lol
I don't even think that would be possible with a full speed hero shot + hero tank.
It'll happen, when the NZAP came out it was like 6+ people with it in most matches.
