Really like Port Mackerel. So many lanes and close battles. Love the labyrinth feel.

KNOCKOUT!
500p - 0p

Didn't even know that'sv possible. Bless Japanese players!

 

[EndlessSky]

The mall is going to be Charger city, isn't it?

I'm switching off custom blaster and going scope charger

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Had the news update happened? Currently stuck in a ranked lobby with one remaining spot open.

That's the norm...

 

[jailbird20022]

Port Mackerel plus Jet Squelcher = long distance splatting.

love inking up the bulldozers and getting on top of them and rain down ink on helpless rollers.

 

[jimmytutron]

hoooo man splat zones are intense

 

[EndlessSky]

Oh man I have an A- in my room!

 

[Nanashrew]

On the topic of covering ground in splat zone.

I've done it. I needed to help my team in a pinch since I was so far away and close to getting the inkstrike so I did and helped to turn around the match.

 

[GWX]

Rufus, almost man!

 

[BlueSilver]

Lol, better than you

Rollers OP on Port Mackerel? Heh.

 

[Revolutionary]

Had the news update happened? Currently stuck in a ranked lobby with one remaining spot open.

I got the Breaking News prompt but then got a disconnect error and got kicked back to the plaza.

 

[MrPanic]

Gonna check out these maps on ranked mode and then off to sleep.

 

[GWX]

Mackerel again, eh... They're really pushing it.

 

[RedFyn]

Rollers OP on Port Mackerel? Heh.

You have no idea how much fun I was having on that map

 

[jariw]

The average match is pretty exciting, especially when everyone doesn't immediately run for the other team's spawn point. Matches seem really shot, which is a plus. Splatting someone is a nice surprise, in between covering the walls in your goo.

You mean in Turf War? Walls don't count.

 

[jimmytutron]

inkzooka on port mackerel is great
straight line down da hall hehe

 

[BlueSilver]

You have no idea how much fun I was having on that map

I can imagine. =P

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Oh man I have an A- in my room!

.... How?

I'm going with it being a developer just to save my sanity.

 

[weekev]

So you guys who have access to ranked battles, what's it like? Impressions in here seem to be pretty intense

It adds a completely new dimension to the game. There are already tons of little tactics creeping in eg splatzone on saltspray,the splat zone is just in front of the main rig bit, there is a wee elevated platform just behind it that if you get a charger up there makes it very difficult for the opposing team to get to the splat zone.

 

[Chezzymann]

Rollers OP on Port Mackerel? Heh.

I dunno I was mowing over rollers on that map, maybe they just sucked though

 

[Exile20]

I cant win on the port, i win on every other map but that one. So wierd.

 

[Crayolan]

Defending that tiny ass square on the mall is hilarious.

 

[PreyingShark]

Huh, can only think of two at the moment but even so, it gets nasty at the underpass.

There's the middle, there's the passageway with the glass panels, and there's the drop-off that I keep on forgetting exists.

 

[Shahadan]

Omg 97-96

It was uncertain until the last minute. Omg this was so intense

 

[KevinCow]

Has anyone used the Blaster with any success? It seems pretty useless to me. I thought I was doing pretty well with it... but wound up with the lowest score I've ever gotten.

 

[Jachaos]

Defending that tiny ass square on the mall is hilarious.

So same as Turf War then

 

[EndlessSky]

The Wailer is way better than the inkkstrike on the warehouse.

 

[Shahadan]

On turf war it's hard to get as many point with it yeah. Really useful in Ranked since people are often packed

 

[Kindekuma]

I've had the most INCOMPETENT random player teammates with me it's not even funny. 6 straight losses, nobody except me is even trying to claim the Splat Zone. I can't see straight I'm so pissed.

 

[jariw]

Also, I am just fucking tired of games with any type of progression for multiplayer. Give me old school UT or Quake 3 rules. All have the same chance to get certain weapons and ammo, and that's it. This shit where I'm playing against players who have better equipped gear, because the store has been giving me nothing but shit sucks. Seriously, had a guy on the opposing team who had 3 pieces of gear, all with 4 extra perks, meanwhile, I'm still lucky if I find one for sale with 2. You might say it's not enough to sway the battle, I still say that they have advantages that I don't, and that sucks.

You have the same chance to get the equipment. Level up. Find the player in the plaza. Buy that gear from Spyke. And buy extra slots for 30,000 at Spyke, if you have reached level 20.

 

[Nanashrew]

I just realized I played Splatoon for 12 straight hours today. I am addicted.

 

[Askherserenity]

Just lost by one point in ranked. Ouch.

 

[marc^o^]

Splatoon is the first (non FIFA) game that managed to wake me up at 4am to play, since Uncharted 2.

Best 2015 Dreamcast game. Phenomenal.

 

[EndlessSky]

The upgrades to the Mall make it a sniper paradise lol.

 

[BlueSilver]

Someone help me at Port Mackerel. =(

 

[Blues1990]

Man, what a comeback. The opposing team was giving us a solid-gold ass beating, and they only had to score one more point to win the game. But we had gone down from 99-0, from using an assortment of smart bomb placing and being aggressive.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Woah, they connected the upper middle to the bases of the mall!

 

[Dagobert Duck]

You mean in Turf War? Walls don't count.

Walls never count...tell this to some of the random people who splat every little tree and wall in perfection...

 

[Skiesofwonder]

The mall is not splatshoot jr. Friendly for splatzone. Chargers rule thereZ

 

[BlueSilver]

Lol @ Pad falling to his doom. =P

 

[EndlessSky]

Lol, I know I was just saying the Blaster was the best thing ever, but I've been ruling (and beat an A- rank!) with the kelp scope charger. The sprinkler is a godsend and the wailer is deadly and these maps are charger friendly lol.

 

[SmithnCo]

I can already tell the limited ink challenges are going to be an ass kicker.

 

[BlueSilver]

I will say that the Port makes sniping pretty easy. =P

 

[weekev]

The mall is not splatshoot jr. Friendly for splatzone. Chargers rule thereZ

I gind it best to have a combination on your team. Charger in the wee corridor bit above the splat zone controlling the area and Splatshoot jr super jump to vharger guy and clear house in the splat zone.

Edit think im getting mixed up with underpass ignore me...

 

[Crayolan]

Sniper+Warehouse+Splat Zones=OP

 

[Melchior]

Stopped at 90 points in B-. 23 Win streak not too bad. I'll hit A tomorrow.

 

[Kangi]

Pulled out level 20 and a B ranking in the Mall by "quadra killing" the enemy team with nothing but my gun in a single corridor. I love when the person not firing at me body blocks all the people who are.

 

[The Adder]

The mall is not splatshoot jr. Friendly for splatzone. Chargers rule thereZ

Jet Squelcher is the best of both worlds and almost hard counters chargers.

 

[MrPanic]

Lol, the sniper spots on mall are connected in ranked.
