Get the USB ethernet adapter for your Wii U if you're on WiFi. A lot of times that can help if you're having intermittent connection problems.

There's got to be a balance between killing/painting.
I try to kill guys who are obsessed with painting. That way you can reclaim the territory.
I did it, but dunno how, so i'll give some tips which MIGHT help:
- Shoot across the platforms: It helped me to evade since I had a quick line to go down.
- Try to ignore the things he throws at you which ain't hands or OctoJobbers: This allowed me to always have enough time to charge my shots up.
- When he is throwing an OctoJobber at you, charge your shot up and as soon as the enemy appears...FIRE!: Gets them out the way fast so you can focus on the game.
- Keep an eye on the hands at all times: Because of the Increased Range of the Charger, you should be able to shoot the Hands way before they get to you (same for the Disco Balls you bat to him). Also, remember to evade right away or you'll get hit by the 2nd hand!
Also, how is the Squid Amiibo easier? What do you do in that level?
I'm sure GAF will join their games and batter them until they are pro.

So close 
Of course there is. But people who think the way to play this game is mindlessly running around in enemy territory are delusional at best.

Well, it stops them from painting for about 8 seconds. Which is huge in a 3 minute match.
I imagine you can just turn into Kraken mode to not take any damage from attacks while you focus on taking down the boss

Whoa! Splatoon really is legit!
Tight gameplay with good vibe. Nice!
Someone asked how many of his team were children, well.. my 6yo is really in to splatoon. His never really been into online play, even though he definitely would have the skills to play MK8 online, but just hasn't clicked. But now after his first online play I could see the spark in his eyes! The thrill of PvP has gotten to him.
This is nice, however makes me wonder, if he is too young to play the game, and if you get addicted (edit: to the adrenaline rush of online games) at that age, do you even stand a chance for normal life. Like, have I wasted a serious part of my life playing games online, what have I got left for those hours... well you gotta do something with your life. Gaming I guess is as good thing to do as any.
But considering he has no previous experience in the shooter-genre after playing two 1v1 with me he was playing 400 point games online, which is not bad, there were others in his team who were doing closer to zero. With my experience and his young brains ability to learn, I could mold him to be a one mean killer machine... only if his mother would a agree that gaming can be a career choice

I hope they do a squid vs octopus multiplayer mode.

Which connection difficulties? I had quite a few issues with connection and it only got better after I bought a new modem
They just need to patch the game to allow Octolings to wear different outfits and be used online. They have all of the Inkling's abilities anyways.

How many seconds does the power up that puts you back in the game sooner, shave off?

I really thought we had that one.
No excuse, charger is excellent for covering ground if used well imo.

Haha nice stealth edit.
It's not excellent at getting every spot. 3 chargers is certainly too much in one team. That's why I changed.
Not in my case either (wifi being fine). I quite often keep getting into matches where I don't see the paint I fire appear on the floor (or not after a delay at least) before I get booted out again. Or where my opponents keep teleporting around. Or I end up in matches where everything seems fine but I'm booted out anyway all of a sudden. And then there the more common error codes with "unable to connect to partner device" or something.
Usually my internet is fine and fast enough, so I have no idea what's causing this except server strain at Nintendo's side. Quite a shame because it makes playing this game feel even more tense.
On a side noter I just won by a 0.1 percent margin, which I thought was pretty cool!
Thanks for the tips. I will try later today, but with not doubt, for me is the harderst mission of all (amiibo+hero). About the Squid, its really really easy:
You just swim all the time, avoiding the misils. Whenever comes the hands or balls, u just jump and it hit them back straight away. I think is the easier of the 4 differents version of the final Boss.
Saying it's quicker than a roller isn't exactly false, but it depends on the map and situation. Roller has to for example run up and down 4 times to fill in a square of some kind, where as a charger only has to fire 4 times and depending on the range I believe you can cover a bigger area quickly.
I usually out score the rollers in games I play as charger online and with friends, but I've not played with GAF yet. 3 chargers is probably overkill though.
I'll add a few :
- Before the hand start moving, there a very distinct sound effect
- Just keep walking and you can avoid the normal bullet, like you said you dont even need to shot them.
- Saving last armor and the bubble for the very last phase is almost mandatory.
I still don't know why the multiplayer wasn't Squids vs Octopi. It makes sense given the history of the game.
I still believe this is happening at some point in a later update. They already have all the animations and voice clips in place for the octoling, including super-jumping and the little octo-ghost when they get splatted. Plus we already know that the octoling gear functions as gear just as any other. My guess is they're waiting on the reveal to give people time to finish the campaign first?Which connection difficulties?

You don't gain levels in single player that apply towards weapon unlocks and stuff in the multiplayer, but you collect "power eggs" that are used to improve the usefulness of your hero suit (rate of fire, ink capacity, bomb explosion size, etc).
Who wants to be some dirty Octopi that lives in a kettle?
best style
dynamo roller is hard to use properly and I don't know what to do with Sprinklers really
I really want the ability to make rooms at some point...

Cash out now.
I was talking about just our base area, not the whole map. It's hard for chargers to cover everything. And it is hard for blasters as well.
Use the Sprinkler to control a choke point and fill up your special meter.

I think the multiplayer is meant to be a portrayal of the sport the Inklings practice. But the game should definitely have a Inklings vs Octolings mode.
Perhaps. They might save the Octolings for DLC, though. Something like... Pay $3 to be able to play as Octolings.
I know, I wasn't disagreeing with you. Chargers take more training to get good than roller, so it's surprising that a lot think roller > chargers. Still, I think a weapon's viability heavily depends of the map you are playing on. Rollers are awful in the skate part map, but really good in the warehouse.
New stages!

Thats fair. I still think people would go for the objectives since those would most likely rack up more points overall. Kills will at least be much more important in ranked matches, where its crucial to keep the enemy away from the three zones in order to win.
The guy who wrote the initial posts complained about that people werent doing what you're saying here
I was in a roller train yesterday. It was me rolling, then an enemy following me, and then my teammate following the enemy, it was hilarious. We were all just building up our special meter lol.
I was expecting something along these lines, but spoiler that :<
Yeah, just played the first set of missions of the Amiibo and damn are they fast and simple.
Yeah, I bubbled up for the first shot and had 1 armor taken away when I did it due to moving in the wrong direction once.
I feel that the challenges would make me do the last boss much faster if I ever replayed it.

Yeah. I like the regular version more, though
What's the most you can get for cashing in?
