It's weird how much deep lore is in this game just from reading the research notes. Like they weirdly make reference to

Spoiler

Adam and Eve but replace them with tentacles.

 

[PreyingShark]

All of that can happen in this game too lol. It's worse though in the sense that you would have to play with randoms.

But to be honest, joining and leaving is so easy that you should try anyways. I'm kinda glad there is no spectating cause it helps in that being possible. If you happen to join a full room, you can leave immediately. And try another friend or join a random lobby.

I'm definitely going to try since I've made it clear to Greg how much I want to splat him out of love. <3

If you haven't played singleplayer I strongly recommend it. You'll see some of the future maps and why we don't have them at the moment. The grate placement in the next maps are going to be crucial. Might as well get used to it now, and it doesn't hurt the single player is fantastic.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Internet seems fixed so that's good. Gonna back out and add more people before the stage switch. NNID is Hyrule_hero if anyone wants to add me.

 

[Robotguy]

My best score yet partnered up with my worst team yet :/ (obviously I'm Tom)
I dominated on walleye warehouse and it actually ended up kinda close but sadly due to my team we lost just imagine how many points I would have had if we'd got the win.
Also how does someone kill 3 people but not get any points?

Probably got some kills then disconnected. Disconnecting zeros your score from what I've heard.

 

[Munkyspace]

Good games, all.

 

[Shahadan]

It's so satisfying when you manage to kill someone with a mine. Especially someone who just killed you

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Backing out to get reward, will join back up after.

Darn you Doc, your roller ways slayed me!

He's a beast. I love him on my team. I know how to work with him.

This game is great. Single player is real fun. It feels as if they mixed Mario sunshine and galaxy together. In fact I wouldn't be surprised of this started out as some type of Mario multiplayer mode they were trying to come up with.

It didnt. If you read iwata asks it started as multiplayer with tofus (changed to humans, rabbits and then squid-humans) with then a singleplayer build around those mechanics. They director of the game also said he didnt even thought once about super mario sunshine and in his answer he seems wasnt to fond of that game either.

 

[Soul Lab]

Soul Lab you are so good at this lol. GGs to all Gaffers I played today. Gonna take a break.

ty :> you are ron, right? GGs
did you have a dc? because one game, you had 0 points

Did you noticed the squid portraying the snake?

And so deflating when you are on that end.

yeah I noticed that as well. makes the map rollout seem like a way of introducing everyone to the mechanics of the game and then expanding upon them in later maps. kind of justifies their decision, in my opinion. classic Nintendo design, in the maps we have now there are grates but if you squid over them there's safe ground underneath to fall to. like in the mall or the warehouse. but soon there will be grates with nothing under them, like on the camp map. so if you squid over them you'll just fall into water and die. they're introducing the mechanic in a safe environment first and then expanding upon it later. pretty cool if you ask me.

 

[PreyingShark]

Oh wow, is that how it works? Is this in a guide?

The official one I bought to save me from slitting my wrists while I'm stuck at a con. Unlike their shitty Pokemon guides, this one is really technical. Here's a list (5x chance compared to other abilities):

Firefin: Ink Saver (Sub)
Forge: Special Duration Up
Inkline: Defense Up
Krak-On: Swim Speed Up
Rockenburg: Run Speed Up
Skalop: Quick Respawn
Splash Mob: Ink Saver (Main)
SquidForce: Damage Up
Takoroka: Special Charge Up
Tentatek: Ink Recovery Up
Zekko: Special Saver
Zink: Quick Super Jump

The brands I didn't list have no preference. There are also uncommon abilities for the above brands but who cares about those? That and I need to rush to the last program I'm seeing today at this Dr.Who con, then we're going home.

 

[atr0cious]

Wtf, fall damage in single player...

 

[R.D.Blax]

I just realized that Judd give you a reward according to the highest vibe you got, and not the current one. Anyway, good game all of you, I think I will stop for today

 

[Kouriozan]

Did my job, I'm level 10, bring on ranked mode.

 

[Moondrop]

So I've tried to move away from rollers now. Just set a personal best 1100 (non-win-assisted) with the aerospray.

I still might enjoy rollers more though.

 

[martinstraka8282]

Gyroscope controls can be turned off!!! I just found this out now!

This game has new life for me now!

 

[daydream]

comm error'd right at the end, huh

new stages: urchin underpass, arowana mall

 

[Rize_21]

Backing out to get reward, will join back up after.

Darn you Doc, your roller ways slayed me!

that's the only map where I feel comfortable with the roller, good games all.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Blagh. Comm error. I was owning you guys.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

LOL WTF

I rerolled abilities on shoes with Spyke and he gave me three run speeds

What an asshole

How do you do a reroll with spyke? I thought the silver things you needed were only given during splatfests.

 

[Nosgotham]

Did it just comm error to show us new maps?

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I have a blank room open, just little ile me waiting! I guess the GAF room DC'd cause I was trying to connect to it and it sent me to an empty lobby lol

 

[Kouriozan]

Did it just comm error to show us new maps?

Even if it didn't, it kicks you out to see them.

 

[Kikorin]

I'm in love with the graphics of this game, the paint is so good, I want to eat it.

 

[Gizuko]

Com error, guess I'll take my leave for a while.

 

[SmithnCo]

You can buy them off him for 30k.

It says you're not in a lobby.
Edit: nevermind

 

[Skiesofwonder]

It says you're not in a lobby.

Yeah, it kicked me. I'm in now.

 

[random25]

Yeah got dced right after the final game. Never got back afterwards. Poor internet lol.

 

[WALKMAN04]

I need new clothes, do the shops ever sell 2* and 3*?

Yes, as u level up, they stock better gear I believe

 

[daydream]

I need new clothes, do the shops ever sell 2* and 3*?

yeah they do, you should get at least 2* gear as soon as they restock

 

[Blak_Status]

I'll be back guys. I need to eat. Splatoon is making me forget about food lol.

 

[Violet_0]

How do you create blank rooms?

you don't, really. Everyone has to join into a friend's game

 

[N° 2048]

How do you create blank rooms?

Happens sometimes when you try to join a game. Can't do it purposely though.

 

[Blak_Status]

you don't, really. Everyone has to join into a friend's game

Ok.. I got it

 

[Kouriozan]

Yes, as u level up, they stock better gear I believe

yeah they do, you should get at least 2* gear as soon as they restock

Ok thanks, they keep telling me I need/can get better gear but I guess I need to wait tomorrow.

 

[Nihilistic Monk]

Oh thank goodness! I was just about to post asking this.
For some reason I seem to persistently get my controller into a situation where it is just impossible to turn right until I re-centre with "Y".

 

[MouldyK]

I hate when someone calls an ink strike as time expires. Lost a couple matches that way.

I do that to the other team's base at the last second. I'm also the type of guy with a Jet Squelcher who lobs his ink to places where my team can't get to.


How trollish am I playing?

 

[Shahadan]

Why do I get queue time when trying to do a random match? It's happening to me rather often.

 

[WALKMAN04]

Ok thanks, they keep telling me I need/can get better gear but I guess I need to wait tomorrow.

No problem, add me my NNID is the same as my gaf name, all caps

 

[daydream]
