splatoon stealth game of the year
You flick your pant. If they're charging you, that will kill them.

Early game play reminds me very heavily of Gears of War in that Rollers (Shotgun) and Chargers (Sniper) dominate their own spaces and compliment each other well. I've found that the other two guns feel strangely inaccurate mid to close range than they should despite the wide spread. Their specials seem to make up for things, but I can't help but think that the Roller's abilities are vastly more consistent close-up.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit though in part due to the fact that I adore Gears. lol

Once your bar fills out (by inking ground) you can activate your special weapon by clicking the right stick.
Yeah they don't count. For one the game specifies "ground" when talking about which counts. On top of that the minimap would be a lot less useful. It's hard to cover an area 100%. Those add up.

Alright, so I just spent an hour painting the whole tutorial area in ink.
Not sure why I did it but I did.

I honestly don´t feel people think the roller is OP, its just a ton of fun and extremely satisfying and you more thinking to beat it other than "keep running and shooting", so we feel its really strong. Its not like anyone is ACTUALLY asking to nerf it for real, at least not yet =P.
Maybe they are like the Paintbrush and might come Post-Launch?

Love this game! Only played with roller but had a great time! First thing I did was switch off gyro controls. Gyro sucks and is unneeded. Overall impression is that chargers suck, reg guns are fine and rollers are slightly better. You're quite dependant on the quality of your teammates though since no communication. I won every match but two in which I had teammates with rollers that stuck to my path. Overall I'm glad I ordered it.
Will be hard to balance playing this and Witcher though. Still need to finish Bloodborne as well. Great year for gaming sofar

When you super jump there is a small ring that appears before you land that the enemy can see. I found a lot of rollers would be on top of them ready to kill.
I had the complete opposite. We had a full team of rollers and we totally destroyed the other team.
Loved the demo. Can't wait to play some more later on.
I was kind of surprised how "heavy" your character is, considering that the game encourages you to switch into squid mode to get around the stage. I just wish that you could switch the controls to other buttons because I totally had forgotten you could jump the whole time that I was playing.

There's an invisible wall which only the home team can shoot through, so you can shoot/grenade spam from the spawn point to clear out any campers.
There is a beacon where you're going to land which everyone can see. If one pops up by someone they can just stand there and wait to kill you when you land.
Huh. I guess I'll keep trying then.

Yes, they've said so many times.

Used the charge shot with varying degrees of success. I think its range needs to be improved.
the tops of crates and walls and stuff count. some of them are near impossible to get to without splatting a bunch of platforms in advance but you can splat them
It seems like that given that I can't find the Splattershot Jr. on this.
Do it.
Not true, a roller was able to kill me (roller too) by me shooting from a small distance, so he avoided to make contact with me this way (sorry for my bad english).

Maybe look at the map. I dunno.
I'd like to see a "request reinforcements" command that flashes a small icon on the screen or something. It's the one glaring communication omission that just doesn't make sense to me. Let me tell my teammates when I need help defending or attacking an area, or that they should warp to me to help cover enemy ink.

Flank them by doing any of the following
Diving into ink and sneaking up behind them
Use your suction grenade
Use the killer wail
Jump their roller
And/or use the flick from a distance
Sometimes it is worth it to take the quick suicide doubke kill, but usually you're better off attempting to flank and kill the enemy roller
Special weapon, it's only usable when the gauge in the top right is fully filled. You fill it by inking the map or splatting people, and once it's charged you use it by pressing down the right analogue stick.
The bubbler activates immediately, but the rest change your subweapon and you have to use R to deploy it.

I was so hyped to use the charger...
... only to find out that I'm absolute garbage with it.

Hmm not sure why it's never amounted to 100% coverage then. The most I've seen is something like 85% total.
Ah that explains it!
Thank you!
So satisfying. One match last night, I was on higher ground and I jumped shooting straight down and killed the enemy. They were trying to hide in a blind spot and about to set up a grenade on me.

Also in that one map where you start next to eachother kinda. The one with the containers and the seaside setting. Is it actually possible to get to the enemy spawn area? Seems it's too high to get up there.. I was thinking maybe the moving platform that passes by in the middle area goes there, but it's soooo slow and the one time I got on I accidentally fell off.

I only died to the Killer Whale once every other time I notice it and just side step.

You can use your grenade, special attack or be smart and circle around the opponent instead.

Isn't that what up on the D-pad does?
There's been a few times where I just get punked by rollers jumping in and killing me immediately. I'm sure as time goes on more people will learn to be a little careful with their jumps and people will learn to murder those jumper inners super hard.
I'm also amazed how many things I'm learning by reading the thread. Jumping over rollers, superjumping from anywhere, and some other shenanigans. It's great.
Me too.

Loved the demo, game is fun, controls are good but... this might be too repetitive for me. I'm not a big fan of online shooters.

I think I played on your team some. My young daughters were taking turns so there were definitely times where you weren't getting much help, lol. They had a ton of fun though and were disappointed when the demo ended.

Yep, stealth works brilliantly in this. If you move slowly, you're completely concealed.
It's easy to think that it's going to function much like any other mp sniper rifle, but the game is so fast-paced that you have to keep up with it. Camping's not really an option, you have to move a lot, ideally moving from high ground to high ground, although the stealth/climbing really does help a Charger user.
hit up on the dpad
Oh really? Awesome!
Hope this game sells decently. I love new Nintendo IPs that are actually made with a decent budget (like Pikmin and this).

Well, that was a lot harder than at 4am, but I've finally got a handle on the Splattergun jr! Might like it a bit more than the Roller now actually.
Still not into the Charger though. I play too aggressively for it, and it's rubbish at both short range and for area coverage.
Really hope there's more variety in the main game though. It's hugely fun, but I'm already very bored of those two maps. Hopefully the single player content has some decent meat to it, and there's a decent number of multiplayer modes. Saying more stuff is coming really won't be good enough if this is all it's going to really be for months.
Still excited though.

I would welcome be able to ping on maps like in Mobas.
It should be enough if teamates don't have tunnel vision or be brain afk in casual matches.
Thanks for the tip, I will try it next time.

Maybe I imagined it, but I think the C'mon! thing on the D-Pad might actually do that?
The roller has a medium range attack.
Also if you're quick you can maneuvre around the enemy roller so that the edge of yours hits them but theirs doesn't hit you. Only pulled that off once though.
Up on the D-pad.
Wasn't directed specifically at you, just used your reply because there is a counter. Mass people here already yelling OP without seeing the majority of weapons and attachments is typical NG though.
