Yeah. I guess I am out of the thread for now.
The male ones could be added as DLC. Maybe.

Oh my god you're me.
Seriously I play mind games constantly, all the time. Get in their base to freak them out and make them waste time repainting it instead of moving to the front lines. Pop out of a hallway near their base and say "hi," hoping they will chase you back there where you can kill them with a strategic bomb.
I'm horrible at combat, that's why I use the jr. with its bubbler. But I'm awesome at paint coverage and mind games, and I'm getting pretty good at fancy footwork.
Everyone is so intent on killing other players when they encounter them that they just don't know what to do when the other player just starts dodging all over the place. Some of the best times I've had have been bouncing around like an asshole rabbit, seeing that enemy ink on my trail, painting and dashing as fast as I can just wasting their time by running in circles.

I hope so, they're cool looking. While they're at it, I hope they give us gear that reflects the lookof the shopkeepers. Annie's & Spyke's "Hair" as hats, Sean's Tempura Jacket, Jelonzo's scarf & shirt (seriously can I have this please), etc.
Honestly, the visual design in this game is ace, but the characters themselves are just too good. The nautical theme really lends itself well to some visually interesting designs.
And include that swanky noir style jazz music. I think we're on to something.
thanks, miiverse

Having Annie's "anemone" hair with Moe (floating around it) would be so funny. And I love Jelonzo's outfit. So yes, please.

Splatoon OT 2: The Best Dreamcast Game That Never Was
Splatoon OT 2: The Best Dreamcast Game That Never Was
On this week's Bombcast one of them said something like "Doesn't this game feel like it should have been on the Dreamcast?" Its pretty on the point.
If you ever play against someone who have it. After the match, return immediatly to the plaza and you should find the player avatar in front of the lobby tower so you can inspect him and order his gear.
That's a lame way to get your gear though

If octolings would be playable they'd have to mingle with the inklings in the main hub. Wouldn't that be awkward since they kind of hate each other? Unless they make a seperate hub for them which I doubt.

I disagree about the importance of painting the base.
Covering enemy ink essentially counts double for you - erasing their progress, and adding to your own.
Many times I've seen the map with our base mostly unpainted, just lines straight toward the enemy base, vs. a fully colored in enemy base.
All of us in their base covering up their color, that counts double. If any of them get in our base? All those empty areas they have to paint are a less efficient use of their time. Plus, because it's our own base and spawn point, it's easy for us to cover it back up.

.-. ah sorry if that crossed a line. ):
We may have to wait for a sequel to play as actual Octolings, but a version of the visor with an octopus wig might be a nice addition for now.
Squid jazz would be amazing - I hope the game's continual support includes a constantly-expanding soundtrack. Splatoon's soundtrack might be the best thing Minegishi has ever done, and I'd love to see him cover more genres in its unique style.

I do hope a mod steps in, like one did back in the early Smash 4 threads. Call me grumpy but I'd prefer to not see NSFW content being posted here.
Edit: Just to make this clear, my post isn't referring directly to pinkurocket's post. Their post wasn't the first containing NSFW content posted here.
>_> Uh... maybe they could add an epilogue to the hero mode where the octolings and inklings stop hating each other and become friends? lol

It wasn't so much the content, more the fact that it made it into inkopolis considering Miiverse is so strict on that kinda content.
My apologies again.

i dunno why i ever doubted the roller.
the best weapon for splatzone too

I had my doubts before I bought it too, but the game is fun in a really unique way and has the all important "feel" backing the gameplay up.
Always trust Nintendo. They know fun.
Going to try this out after I finish up dinner

I think your avatar is fine.
And sorry if I sounded harsh.By the way, is there a way to report that kind of miiverse post?
Do it! It's worth it.

Is your NNID the same as your GAF username?
In typical Nintendo fashion Peach stops by and bakes everyone cake and they live happily ever after.

nothing to worry about, like half the time I play really bad!
@pinku just stay on the safe side, the mods don't generally take kindly to this

I must be blind because I never find the report button there. Will check it out again later.
they can't see you when you hide in ink, so you can ambush them or escape a roller or kraken
it's pretty great for every weapon, splattershots and rollers specifically (I use it with a charger)
ok, a situation that happens pretty frequently - someone jumps you, you go into hiding, they know you are there but can't find you, you flank them and splatter them
I think there were some gaffers using it with rollers, popping out and OHKOing my ass.

Ohh that explains the dynamo roller hiding in the ink besides a capture point in a ranked match, only to pop out when someone was near and take them down instantly. :I
Don't they only hate each other because it was a forced land dispute? They might be able to figure something out eventually.
Well, the credit sequences have doodle where we can see Inkling and Octoling being friendly with each other. And the scroll reveal they were friend once so they don't have to hate each other. And seriously, seeing the tone of the game, they can make any excuse to make thing work if they want.

Go to one of the two sides near it, the sniper perch areas, and leap to the middle in squid form.

I believe it's on the right side of the user's post.
I remember I reported one picture someone had posted yesterday.
He inked an swastika on the ground of the practice level and shared the picture in miiverse
Quite facepalmic
I'm actually considering to use ninja squid as I've noticed alot of people have become really good at both spotting me while swimming and read where I'm heading towards.
If we duel each other in an open space and there are two possible ink paths I could take while swimming using the ability, that means it's more likely I will have my crosshair placed on you as I know your position while you don't, or well, there's a 50/50 shot you guessed my actual path. So yeah I feel it gives me a substantial advantage. You're pretty much dead if I have my crosshair on you and you don't have it on me.
