Any rooms up?

Just started trying 52 deco, seems pretty good.

Join me, blue, or jintor

 

[BlueSilver]

Ail still MIA. Nooooo

 

[Mononoke]

It's interesting because hasn't Nintendo gone with both regional and worldwide options for most of their bigger online games like this in the past? I know it's been that way with Mario Kart at least. It feels like they weren't sure quite what the player population would be like at launch (hence keeping ranked mode locked to start, too) so they just threw everyone together to make sure rooms would at least get filled.

I wonder if they'd consider adding a regional option, or at least regional room-preference, in a later update once there's enough of a player-base in each territory. Getting ghost-killed by Japanese charge rifles and rollers has been a bit annoying.

I sure hope they do, because it seems to be a big problem for some players.

How prevalent is bunnyhopping at the A ranks? Everyone does it? I'm sure seeing it a lot more in B.

 

[Saint Gregory]

The bubble shield in ranked is some real live bullshit.

 

[RedFyn]

The lag was killing me that game. I'm glad I had a good team to carry me

 

[BlueSilver]

That loss hurt a bit. =/

 

[Jintor]

man i really want to be able tochange my loadout without having to abandon the lobby, brush isn't the greatest for the mall

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

So lovely when you win because the opponent got cocky and tries to overrun your territory.

 

[PadWarrior]

*beats final boss*

Man that was a great fight. What a game! I love it!

Best boss fight I've played in ages

It's pretty prevelant, but I think it only gives an advantage though if you mix it with strafing to become unpredictable.

Those that just bunnyhop lose accuracy and become predictable.

Is bunny hopping diving into paint then jumping as kid, rinse and repeat? I'd just aim for the middle. Hit legs and squid regardless at what point they're at.

 

[Jintor]

oof that was clutch

 

[RedFyn]

Jintor you're so annoying

 

[Boney]

Phew, managed to get the ink strike at the last second

 

[Burning Justice]

Just had a ranked match where neither team got any points... and Judd gave the other team the win. How does that work?

 

[Busaiku]

Love how I apparently have no internet connection.

Probably decides by ink in such a case.

Love how I have no internet connection.

What witchcraft is letting you post!?

 

[PreyingShark]

Love how I apparently have no internet connection.

Apparently I don't have one either.

 

[Mononoke]

Paint brush users in ranked, either know how to wield it and absolutely dominate, or they fail miserably and tank the match. As soon as I see a brush user on my team, I'm scared and just hope for the best.

As someone stuck in C+ hell, I'm curious what this is as well. I've never seen it done.

The Wii U has sometimes just stopped recognizing my internet. Stopping and restarting the connection should help, unless you're having a different problem

In ties, he seems to randomly award a win. There are videos on youtube.

 

[BlueSilver]

Jintor keeps trading with me. =/

 

[Busaiku]

The power of Nintendo internet.
Praise be.

Seriously, the online experience has never been this bad in Mario Kart.

 

[Boney]

Dammit red, cut the crap >.>

 

[Belgian Dude]

It's intentional game design, to force us ink addicts to take a break.

well I still can't connect (it says I have no internet connection as well) but it's not gonna work.

Spoiler

because i'll play Bayonetta

Hope I can sort this out and play with you all later. :\

 

[Jintor]

okay that's enough brushing around for now, mall's just no good for it.

 

[Mononoke]

Jintor keeps trading with me. =/

Don't tell me Jintor is a suicide Roller...

 

[Jintor]

Jintor you're so annoying

Jintor keeps trading with me. =/

god ninja squid brush is some hella good times, but mall is too chokepointed to be any good

 

[BlueSilver]

Strong start, then horrible finish. =/

 

[Belgian Dude]

Alright, it worked! I'm in!

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Gonna get back on in 15 minutes, any GAF rooms currently going?

The boss made me pumped up. I don't know when is the last time that happened. Thank you Nintendo.

It really was great. It was so unexpected yet at the same time it made perfect sense for the tone of the entire game and its world that had been developed in the lobby/online/single player. I had a stupid grin on my face the whole time.

Spoiler

especially when the second song kicked in

 

[Enforced]

Best boss fight I've played in ages

[Belgian Dude]

DC'ed :\, sorry team
back to having no internet connection

Gonna take an actual break and see if it gets better.

 

[SmithnCo]

lol I thought we lost.

 

[RedFyn]

I noticed your base was in desperate need of a makeover.

Dinner break

 

[Jintor]

damn you no weapon switch

How odd, lol.

Its funny how I've had little to no problem with it but you can't even seem to connect, lol.

 

[Mononoke]

damn you no weapon switch

Really, the biggest flaw in this game at this point.

 

[Sendou]

Ok definitely time for sleep now. I'm playing like my grandma.

 

[BlueSilver]

That hurts me. =/

 

[Boney]

Is Tokorotten a gaffer? Cause I'll eat his babies

 

[Sendou]

That hurts me. =/

Taking nothing away from you of course lol. Your bombs made me rethink which Charger really is the best for Turf Wars.

 

[RedFyn]

Dammit red, cut the crap >.>

Me? You're the one that used an ink strike to win the game. You're the guy who won't die. I have to put in double the effort to kill you.

 

[Vena]

Ok definitely time for sleep now. I'm playing like my grandma.

Your grandma plays Splatoon? Sounds like a hipster.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Port and park are godsends for brush

 

[Jintor]

aaarrgh bluey got a fucking clutch double kill there and then smith avoided like 3 inkzooker shots in a row to stab me in the face. terrible match for me

 

[Boney]

Please be an under achiever!

Pretty sure bunnyhopping is just people who spam jump while in close-quarters combat, thinking it will help them survive. And to a certain extent, it will, but only insofar as it keeps their movement varied and unpredictable.

 

[MrPanic]

Ok, gotta sleep now, good games.
