Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

I love it when I capture and hold the mid of Saltspray and then the rest of the team completely abandons me for two and a half minutes and then I get splatted once and we lose the match because the lower areas are completely meaningless until the last 30 seconds
This happens to me a lot. I run in, kill the other team, ink the whole top while fighting multiple enemies coming after me, spam come on, die, and then when I look down at the map my whole team is bunched together meticulously inking every pixel of the lower catwalks.

I've made a quick guide for Saltspray Rig for new players, I hope some will find this helpful

Sweet, I think I'm going cat this time as my loyalty changed to Callie...
Btw guys I have a doubt, do seekers fall through grates or they just keep going?
Keep going. Used one on a grate in the mall to take out a sniper once.

Going to the bottom area first can be useful sometimes as long as only one person goes there. Yesterday in the match I talked about earlier I was distracting two enemies while the rest of my team got the upper area
 
I just bought the game on Monday, can I still partcipate even though I didn't sign up for a team?

Team signups will presumably reopen on Monday. Considering the team shirts vanished it's likely that everyone will have to redo their signup. Not that it's a big deal or anything, it only takes a second.

There is some merit in covering the lower area if the other team doesn't have speedy classes on their side, but yeah, this is the defacto "How to Saltspray" diagram.

Crayolan and I going back and forth to get the early setup last night was amazing.

These are my favorite routes to start the stage and for generally getting into the top of the map:

A lot of people like to get slaughtered at the chokepoint entrance instead.

Basically that for ranked, although I take the elevator often in the beginning as it's one of the better flank positions for a roller and you're not all crowding the other choke then. It'd be nice if the lower section was some how used in Splat.

it's always a good idea to move in over the pipes, well unless you're the one doing the slaughtering :p

from the contest entries I think I like the raincoat one the best, though I'd probably use it without the glasses
 
Man all those costumes are great.

Do we know how frequent splatfests will be? Like is it a really rare thing or like a once every month or two thing? I know a lot of people will probably end up missing this one due to being on a holiday
 
On Saltspray, I notice a lot of people rush the ramps leading to the upper section, and throw a bomb toward the other team's ramp. If I'm playing Tentatek, I sometimes try to stay in that entrance to slow them down, but it's always risky. Can be really epic if you can pull it off, but usually not worth the attempt. For the longer ranged weapons (Squlchers and SplatterPro), I usually go up the wall, camp the entrance a little, and then make my way to the top of the ramp.

Splatfest is back on 7/4 according to the Ninty twitter.

Thank you, America.

Thank goodness. I'm going to be away the two weekends surrounding it, and didn't want to miss out on all those Sea Snails. Wanna reroll a bunch of equipment and add slots to the other ones.

Tired of being one of the several thousand Jungle Hat people online.
 
Judd rigged the splatfest so that indoor cat people will now triumph.

Actually that is a pretty smart way to solve the matchmaking problem.
 
Really disappointed with their choice of days for Splatfest. Its really bad.

yeah it's a bit strange but I think every region having their splatfests ties in to their content rollout strategy so they probably had to do it sooner rather than later

I still think the 3-map rotation will become standard once all the splatfests are over
 
Recently hopped back in and played that new Pier level with the lighthouse. Love that they keep adding new content, any word on how many more new levels we can expect?
 
I wonder if they will combine the European and American players or keep them separate. Anyhow, 4th of July is bad for me too, as I will be back from holidays on 6th.
 
But yeah regarding the date my guess is they didn't want to put it off yet another week, especially considering the NA splatfest is not just the US but Canada and Mexico too and any other countries under NOA.

It's just really bad luck that the 4th fell on a Saturday this year

Inkopolis > the USA anyway
 
Now you have to truly ask yourself if you're a kid or if you're a squid.


Well I'm a squid, I legitimately just wrote down a not saying "7/4 is splatfest don't forget" and didn't really realize that day was the day that people go blow shit up in the streets.

Oh god I need to get off work
 
I wasn't aware people treated the 4th of July as a serious holiday. All my family ever does is barbecue in our backyard for dinner.

Pretty much. Brooklyn is a fun place during the day though. All these outdoor grills speaking to my West Indian roots something fierce. Having a day to grind Sea Shells works perfectly on top of this.
 
Have you seen the winner of the Famatsu Contest
Apparently the winner will be part of the August Update

Whoa. Sweet. Nice to know that the addition of new gear will be pretty flexible if they are even willing to add contest versions. Hopefully this means the dev choices will have a chance of making it in as well.
