Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

I was on the fence with rollers, but they need nerfed. The melee throws too much ink, costs nothing, and the range is nuts. They should get one or two melee swipes and be empty and it should only go a bit. I've been out ranged by the bloody roller too many times.
 
Just played a few matches of Regular with Cheesemeister. It was pretty fun, but it was all Japanese players (dunno if this is really a factor) and I got my butt handed to me every single time.
 
Played Ranked for the first time. I now understand all the memes haha.

Using the Seeker in Ranked Underpass felt like cheating. I stood at the end of the hallway that looks directly at the Splatzone and kept shooting seekers. So many free kills. I was using the .52 Gal Deco so I also got plenty of Ink Strikes with almost no effort and very little risk haha.

Is the Carbon Roller really that good?

Not in the hands of the people I played with tonight at least. There were a few good people I ran into though. It's a lot like the early days of the paintbrush, where eventually only the players who are really good at it will keep using it
 
ugh my bf is set on playing MK8, so sorry I wont be able to play with you guys tonight :(
The bright side is that I wont complete destroy you all with my brush, so have fun!
 
After playing around with the Custom Dual Squelcher I'm giving it up. My team mates don't ever use my beakons. I keep waisting ink and get splattered by randoms. Back to the Custom Splattershot.
 
Im really tempted to buy this game for me and my kids. The thing that holds me back is the longivity of the game. With the WiiU sales being not very good im worried about the actual player population that plays the game.....now and in the coming month.

I dont want to buy the game only to find out that there are not enough people playing. (Got burned with evole) :/

It's sold over a million copies. There's enough people playing even without the August update.

Splatoon Software Update (Ver 1.3.0)

On June 30, 2015, new update data for the Splatoon game will be available for download. Users will be required to download this update prior to using the software's online multiplayer features.
Update details:

Splatfest:

When there are more members on one team than the other and the match-making process takes too long, members from the same team will be able to battle each other
Members will still receive Splatfest Points even when they battle against members of the same team
Note: Only the results from matches against the opposing team will be included in the overall Splatfest results
Adjustments have been made to allow some players at random to participate as early as 5 minutes prior to the official start time of Splatfest in order to make for a more pleasant gaming experience (Note: All players will be able to participate once the event begins)
This adjustment was made to lighten the server load at the beginning of the Splatfest
Adjustments have been made to the number of Super Sea Snails distributed to members of the losing team that have earned either of the top two Splatfest rank titles

Special Weapon Adjustments:

Inkstrike: The amount of area covered will be more consistent regardless of where it lands
Kraken: The amount of knockback is increased when taking damage from an opponent while using Kraken

Ability Adjustments:

Ninja Squid: Swim speed will be lowered when using this ability
Stealth Jump: The amount of time it takes to Super Jump will be longer when using this ability
Ink Resistance Up: The effects with respect to the amount of damage and speed when moving through enemy ink will be adjusted

Other:

Other adjustments will be made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience

Rock goddess or Pop princess? Choose wisely, GAF
 
So I'm bit late to the patch news so most of this was probably already discussed.

There is knockback?! Definitely needs increasing then. Not that would I be able to tell because laggy roller player isn't going to be knocked back until after you get splatted.

Also the splatfest change I don't think helps much if you are on an unpopular team as it means you what take ages to get kicked back to the lobby but at least the cool team have fun with themselves...in a few weeks time I'll have to read a summary of how it all went as I'm on holiday during the splatfest.

Ninja Squid and Ink resistance nerfs are interesting (given how over used the abilities are) but stealth jump? I thought it was already slower (and super jumps are not exactly instant).

you can hear the knockback on kraken but the effect is pretty lame compared to bubbler knockback (it's possible to knock bubblers off cliffs for instance but the most you can do to kraken is hold them in place)
 
Team Pop it is! :) Hope next weekend runs smoothly.

Don't mind the update nerfs, especially the kraken for when my brain disconnects and I try to shoot at it instead of hiding...
 
The Inkstrike adjustment sounds interesting. I thought it seemed like some covered better than others, but I never watched it quite closely enough to figure out exactly how uneven ground was affecting it. Is it more advantageous right now to use it on sloped ground, or flat?
 
Soooo I just caught some footage of the Carbon Roller.

That weapon looks sexy as fuck. I may have to get one next time I'm on and invest in some damage ups!
 
behold, my masterpiece for the EU splatfest.
