Saw this on twitter, thought it was neat
Lots of buzz on my TL. Seems like people liked it. Really looking forward to the single player

Yeah I saw plenty.. even some japanese ones. It was awesome.
Yes! I've been obsessed over that track since I first heard it when Treehouse was demoing last E3. Someone on tumblr had recorded that short bit with the song with no crowd or voice but I lost the link. I really need an OST of this game.

Ugh. I'm going to be at work during the second play test, freaking overnight shifts. I'll be on my lunch as soon as it starts ;_; have fun late night GAF.

How do you quick turn?
True, maybe I just need to get used to the pace and pay more attention to the map.
Squidboards is already a thing, so I wouldn't be worried. A lot of the prominent Smash people are already on the case organizing stuff.

Awesome, glad someone else loved it too. Really haven't paid any attention to the music in this game, which I guess I should have, but I instantly loved that track. If you happen to find the link I'd love to hear what they whole song sounds like. Matchmaking usually went pretty quick in this first hour so I probably haven't heard all of it.
Splatoon at EVO.
Bill Trinen tweeted that board just a bit of go! https://twitter.com/trintran/status/596901019662946304
They're definitely behind the competitive scene that could build from it.
Wouldn't be surprised if they hosted some kind of Splatoon tournament at E3.
If not at E3, I would bet on it for PAX Prime with the new modes being available.
I thought the 2 minute length per match was fine though being able to change it is something I wouldn't be opposed to.
That'd be great. The Smash tournament was already a good push for Smash last year. Splatoon needs all the help and word of mouth it can get.

This is from the Squidboards, apparently found out at E3 2014
I'll try it out in the next hour we can play in.

Inkling Girls >>>>>>>>>>>> Inkling Boys. Let me know if you disagree so we can settle it in Smas--- er Splatoon
This should not be a thing, let's just say they are equal.

The biggest problem with competitive splatoon is the entry fee for local multiplayer 8 Wii U's and games. At least the netcode isn't shiet

After playing for an hour earlier, I'm completely sold on Splatoon. I love the way it looks, sounds, and feels (though admittedly, I think I may do without the gyro controls when I have the chance).
I was very interested in the game before, but now having played it, I'm all for it. I pre-ordered it as soon as the Testfire was over.

The only way I see it possible is to only make online tourneys, and that'll likely only be possible after the August update. Unless they give us the 8 player local multiplayer the way they did it at E3, and the whole tourney would prob be ran on only those 8 wiiu setups.
You could do a competitive scene around the Dojo instead.

Wow, there's people on there talking about how they stayed on the tutorial mode to not get disconnected at midnight and practice movement. Guess they're going to get good lol
My plan is to get a weekly league, ala UGC for TF2 going. That way you can organize voice chat and everything.
You mean the same with any competitive shooter?
It's a noob killer weapon, everyone is a noob in their first hour, and people are quick to jump to conclusions. See: Little Mac in smash 4.

Why is the thought on roller being OP so contrasting? Seems either food think it's balanced perfectly, or over powered to the moon. I didn't get a chance to play so I have no opinion.
Seems kinda pointless, outside of doing once to climb up a wall. You can see how much better it is to just to shoot a line and go through that than do the jump shoot thing. You move faster, cover more ground with ink (which is the main objective of the game) and in turn, have more ink to hide in.

Some gameplay scenes would have been nice.^^

Seems like it would be an ok escape option, but yeah, looks cool but utility is limited.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Roller, the little mac of shooters.
I think this deserves its own thread =O, its pretty damn good.

How do you use the Pro Controller? Couldn't get mine to work.
You can't
That's pretty nuts. And that's going to be everybody in high ranked matches, you wait and see.
In high level competitive play, Splat Zones, Turf Wars, or otherwise, it'll probably be critical for roll outs to gain stage control. Get your quick units into position as quick as possible, with your Roller+Pocket bringing up the rear, covering ground. Saving a few seconds to secure a choke point and the beat opponent to an area could be critical.
Until the person just shoots where you're going to land and then you're completely fucked in the middle of enemy ink.
But it doesn't even seem faster, just look at the beginning of the gif.

People think it's OP because it's a one hit kill if you run someone over with it. If you can get up close to someone with it, they're done.
I wouldn't say it's balanced perfectly, but I also wouldn't say it's nearly as OP as some people seem to think.

The game needs serious balancing, the team I was on won 11 out of 12 matches. The paint roller is unstoppable when used correctly though I only used it 4 times. The sniper rifle players were always at the bottom of the score charts so more points for kills, less for area cover. Players figured this out quickly, paint rollers were grossly overrepresented in my games (5 out of 8 players in half my matches).
It also covers terrain like nothing else. I got over 1300 points in a match by just running around where nobody else was with the paint roller, didn't get a single kill. I don't know the totals, but I'd say most likely all my highest scoring games were with the paint roller.
