Wait a second. I think this means you can do the Spyke glitch for every Judd payout so you can potentially do it three times per map rotation. Of course that is provided you cash in before you reach the next tier (indicated by the flags getting bigger) so like cash in at +1 erm, then +4, then +7 (if you wait until +7 you get the sum of all those anyway but can only do the glitch once), not sure on those latter numbers.

I can now confirm that this method works. I just did it with +1 and then +4.
 
Some impressions from the update after a few hours of playing.

I HATE SPLAT ZONES.
I LOVE SPLAT ZONES.

Damn, it's so hard to choose. The first couple of matches were a (easy) win. I said to myself "I'm pretty good at this". Then many disconnects and lost games happened. I think I was at 0 -C for a long time. I'm not sure if it was the weapon's fault. I tried the Kelp charger but I continued to suck and miss shots. With roller I died a lot. Even the new NES Zapper was pretty shitty there despite liking it in regular battles. Then I used the Splatershot pro I usually use. The games that followed were just epic. I did over 25 kills in one game, usually 15+ kills. There were some easy wins but some games were harder and really intense. In one of them the time finished while we were 5 and the other team 6. Just the best game I had. Now I'm still C-, nearing C. The disconnects are really killing me because they count as lost games. Oh and I like that the Ranked wins give so much exp+money.

About the new stage, it's kind of a maze but I really like it. Many opportunities to play hide and seek with your opponent and ambush them.

And the NES zapper is neat. Not great but not awful.
 
How does the game assign EXP to each player after a Ranked match?

I thought it was determined by your S/D ratio, without taking into account how you rank among the team, but I just got 2100p in two matches, S/D being 12/0 for the first and 8-2 for the second, ranking first in both matches. Could be determined by how high you rank during the match (which seems to be based in your S/D ratio)?.

So yeah, I was looking the old singleplayer trailer and found something interesting....

There were 2d pixelart sidescrolling stages that didnt make the cut it seems.
Pitty, but maybe there some extra things for the future, who knows.

That's a shame.

Without watching the trailer (and there I'm expecting it's just a quick cutaway clip), I'd imagine it was at some point being considered in place of, or alongside of Squid Jump. (actually, given the octos, probably just a level in the story. Nonetheless.)

I love getting that kind of new-old game, wish that thing had made it in.

To conjecture further, it may have just been decided that the side view doesn't allow good utility for showing ink all over the place.
 
I have literally the worst person ever on my team. Coolfizz. He just stays at base painting over our colour. He's done this 3 games in a row, always on my fucking team.

Yeah, a topdown mode ala robotron would've worked well. Heck, if someone were to demake a topdown 2D splatoon multiplayer just as a fun side project, I'd be all over it just to get that fix when I'm away from the Wii U.


Edit: It apparently exists already?

K/D is not a factor. If it's a knockout (the vast majority of games) you get 500 + the win bonus which depends on your rank (iirc 2k at C+, 2.3k at B-). Loser gets nothing UNLESS the game went to overtime where they receive the amount of points displayed on Judd's bar (around 300 in a close game).

It was also a part of the "Single Player Trailer", and pretty much all the other footage was from singleplayer. So yeah, probably not an arcade game like squidjump.
 
I fucking love when someone on the other team doesn't know you're invincible on your spawn point, what an easy kill. Some of them just keep trying!

Splat zones a bit too reliant on chargers for my liking at the moment, will go back when I reach level 20, 2 levels to go :)

Easy. I'm not winning every match but it's not far off. This is why I like playing against GAF. At least you guys know what you one do with Charger and change their playstyle accordingly.

Yeah it only took me a few matches to adjust to playing you, and to be honest when I first played splat zones and saw what it was like I immediately thought you would be good at it
 
How to Splat Zone:

1) Pick a weapon
2) play out your roll
3) lose because other players with weapons unsuited for your roll try to do your roll
4) decide, ok fuck it, I won't go after the enemy, I'll fill in the area with my charger
5) lose again because now people follow you and fill in the area and ignore the players they were chasing after just a few seconds ago.
 
This A+ guy just spams the jump button and blasts people with the blaster on urchin underpass. OP as fuck, I just leave the lobby then.
 
Ranked matches are kicking my ass. Everyone seems to be on about the same level, so it's sort of a crap shoot. It's also so incredibly frustrating.
 
Yeah, I think Ranked mode is bullshit. Just not fun and too reliant on your team actually knowing the difference between the unranked and ranked modes.
 
Thinking of trading in Witcher for this. Getting tired of waiting for that game to be patched and should have bought this first instead.

What say u GAF?

Well I'll say this: I was completely hooked on The Witcher 3 but haven't launched it since Splatoon was released.

I think that the problem is just on the start. People will learn the difference pretty soon... I hope. Also, hopefully they'll stop super jumping all the time. I mean it's okay to do that in order to save some time, but when you jump right on the opponent's fire you don't manage much...
