Snipers are a hell of a lot easier to take out on the mall than at the rig imo. You can reach them in just one jump with a roller, whilst on the rig, the only way to take out the snipers is to somehow get on top of the first box without them noticing you're there.

well to be honest I think Port is a pretty awkward map design-wise but it's oh so fun with a charger
my problem with the Mall is the chaotic middle of the of the map where you get stuck in the level geometry half the time and the unreachable sniper nests
I never get hit by those, just squid jump to the middle

This. Exactly.
I don't have that problem at all in the skatepark. Aside from the port, the best back-and-forth matches I've had have been on the skatepark. Because of the layout and how easy it is to sneak into the enemy base, lone wolfing it is a very effective strategy, which I love. Stealth also works quite well because of the numerous different routes of attack. Plus, pretty much every weapon can be effective here. Unlike a certain Mall.
Urchin Underpass is literally the definition of your complaint though. The center of that map is a goddamn impenetrable fortress.

use the little ramp on the middle, speed up and jump forward in squid mode. You have now reached enemy base with basically no one noticing you.
I wasn't feeling it too much on ranked but whenever I'm using a charger or a beacon roller now it's so much fun.

The shop respawns its inventory exactly at midnight your time, every night. So check it then before buying from Spyke.
I will say, my dislike for Mall is because I'm only playing ranked currently. When I first started out and was Turf only, I thought Mall was fun enough. Inrersting list you have there.
Seems like people either love or hate Skatepark (or its their least favorite).
Thank you. I suppose I should start followinv a splatoon reddit to find this new info more easily with a game that will have so much of it
Would it drop that much though?
At least port has proper distance between capture points in Ranked. But I can see peoples criticisms of the overall map layout on that one. I do find it problemstic. Thing is, I find Port has more back and forth, and teams have more of a chance of coming back.

There's really no set 'update' times though. They are being sort of 'random' apparently so far. Either follow the official JP twitter of just wait until the in-game announcement (or be lucky and hop into Gaf in a lucky time)
I don't think its framerate so much as it is trying to superjump for playing with two people. The framerate is halved when playing 1v1, which is noticable having played the normal mode, but is still fun.

I don't know. If you have two people run into the area and go separate ways you could probably get around that pretty easily, right? That;s what all of the crates are there for.
Plus the Rig is big enough to where if people just focus on that back area, they'll still lose because you could paint all of the ground out of range of the sniper, and if the sniper sits on that perch all game the rest of their team is essentially playing man down. All you need on the Mall is one sniper on the perch and one person coming from the hallway at the right time and if you're in the little bowl in the middle of the map, you're essentially a sitting duck for one of them, and you probably won't win in the Mall if you're not able to push through to the other side of that bowl.
It's hard to co-operate like that though. And I'm talking about Splat Zones. I don't find the sniping spots to be particularly troubling in turf wars because there's so much more ground to cover than to just worry about snipers.
Kind of a side note. But when you are in the rafters and on the outer edges of the level, look over to the side and see the beach or the car parking lot (texture resolutions aren't so hot). But for some reason they remind me of something out of Dreamcast era games.

Oh, Splat Zones is a totally different thing. I haven't even played the Mall in Splat Zones yet, I have no idea what the strategy would be for it. I was just talking about Turf Wars.
It is to me, getting outranged by all those splattershot pros, squelchers, .gals, etc

For the first time since I bought a Wii U in 2012, my hands hurt from playing too much. And I played a lot of Smash.
Port Mackerel is my favourite map overall, by the way.

Yeah, you can get out poked on Skatepark and the Mall easily. It can be frustrating.

Since we know a bunch of people are going to use the inkbrush in half an hour, what weapon would you use to rack up a bunch of kills?
Nothing, fear the brush.

About how long is the single player campaign in this game?
Anything with range. May I suggest Dual Squelchers?Since we know a bunch of people are going to use the inkbrush in half an hour, what weapon would you use to rack up a bunch of kills?

So who's winning here?
lol
I bought mine last year, but I've played a lot of DKC:TF and this is the first time my hands hurt as well. I usually take a break when I feel they're really starting to get uncomfortable but it does leave an aftermath of tingly pain.
I like everything except the mall. I prefer the port to everything else.
I'm about to find out.

Around 7 hours if you go through normally, 8~ if you want to explore and collect everything and 5 if you rush through the levels - apparently. I have no idea how long it took me to get through since I weaved in and out from the multiplayer.
Also surprised at mall hate. I have yet to play against a team of really competent chargers but I love it on ranked so far. :|
So, does anyone know if there is a place where I can buy a gamepad screen? Mine broke today and sending it to Nintendo will atleast take 1-2 weeks. I saw a video of how to replace it on youtube and it looked easy enough for me to do. Now I only need to get a screen. Help would be much appreciated!
Everyone who isn't wearing a striped beanie in my plaza is failing me.
Give the SP a whirl to get a feel for the controls but to be honest MP is pretty basic to start off with. If you don't feel like you can get kills you can just go around painting the ground and avoiding fights to be super helpful to your team. Some maps are smaller which make this hard but you don't have to do much to be helpful, just paint all the things (walls don't count) and have fun with it.

Play some single player first to get used to the controls
Like 5 or 6 hours, maybe a little more if you're going for 100% and bad at finding the scrolls.
It's definitely not a primarily single player game, but what's there for single player is actually really good.

Seems a bit generous. Looked more like 3-5 to me.
