Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Looks like Nintendo is releasing the top 10 players (and weapon + equipment used) for every 4 hour rotation.

From hamayama's stream...

The icon for Tenacity (buffed when missing teammates) glows not just when there's a teammate missing, but also whenever a teammate is dead.

That's... much better than everyone thought it would be.

Edit: It's whenever there are more enemy players on the field than you. That means if one of your teammates dies, you get the buff. But if you then kill an enemy and even up the number alive, then you lose the buff again.
 
I can´t understand why Nintendo´s being advertising this on the gamepad for almost a week yet I still can´t buy the game in the eShop and at least preload it. Has anyone in EU been able to buy it digitally yet?
 
I felt from the beginning that shooters were better at spreading ink than rollers. So far the rankings are backing this up. We'll see over time I suppose.

But yeah I never did understand the "ROLLERS ARE SO OP!" trend.

I think it mainly came from the early Test Fires, where people still hadn't gotten used to all the movement and hiding options available to them. When you don't utilize your full array of movement options, facing a roller was basically a death sentence.
 
I just got an email from Best Buy telling me my pre-order for Splatoon was delayed and I'll be able to pick it up...yesterday. What?

They look easy to use but are hard to master. If you're just rolling around you're getting killed very easily. Most people don't know they can use them to splat ink.

Nope, Nintendo of Europe is still living in the years 2000-2005.
At this point, I'm just hoping for it to be available to buy at midnight tonight.

Sigh...
 
People saying Splatoon is a MOBA throws me into an existential crisis.

Do I like MOBAS?
I don't wanna be like Brad Shoemaker!
 
I was just having fun with that rooler talk :p

We've come a long way since those testfire days, though I' sure it will surface again when more play the game.

For other past releases they did release the game at exactly 00:00, so let´s hope they do it this time too. At least the download isn´t too big so we´ll be playing in a few minutes.

But still, such nonsense...

Yes I agree.
It's frustrating really.
 
My order was dispatched yesterday but the tracking shows it hasn't even made its way to the courier. Definitely not coming today and maybe not even coming tomorrow now. If so, that's the first time I've ever been let down by the Nintendo UK store.
 
Played this for hours last night, its so much fun

I have to admit, playing it for the first time my first thought was Rollers were way overpowered as well. It took me a good 10 matches to figure out how to actually play the game instead of just trying to kill those with rollers with my default starting weapon.

Tactically it seems pretty important to get someone behind enemy lines so those re spawning can fly to their location and push through, especially towards the end of a round

I got mine yesterday from the Nintendo store through Yodel

It was the £62 pack though that included the SE, 2 Amiibos and a T-Shirt
 
Does anyone know whether you can have Spyke order amiibo equipment? Seems like you shouldn't, but then again the amiibos unlock a lot more than just those sets and you'd have to do it one at a time so... It's worth asking, I think.

All amiibo content in all games is entirely exclusive to amiibo. That is their point. This won't change.
 
Played online yesterday all the way up to lv.7. It was fun, I'm surprised by my own performance with this game. I rarely finish a game in the 3rd or 4th position in my team.

I need to grab more gear, I will try that order thing next time I see a lv.10 guy.

Mine was just the Girl Amiibo and Shirt bundle. It's kind of annoying but there's nothing I can do about it. Their estimated delivery date is "On or before June 1st" so I can't even whinge at them about it.

Same boat here. All I have is "order generated" - was hoping I'ld get it today :(
 
You uhh, you've got something on your face.

I laugh every time I see your avatar. If only there was someone in the spoiler thread that had a little compassion.

I wish I had a better image the size of the avatar was too small 60x60
looks blury

would have made you one if I had a computer :'(
 
After a night of multiplayer matches, I dreamt of colored ink and the first thing I wanted to do in the morning is to play more Splatoon. We don't deserve this game.

i expect a guy called Matt_M3y (he might even be a Gaffer) to dominate here, i played quite a few matches with him during these weeks and he was really really good, by far the best player i've met online.
 
Started playing this last night when I realised it was already out in Japan (I'm in the EU and an importer) soooooooooo gooooooooood. Oh man I had so much fun already and some games the players I were against were astounding. They felt unbeatable. I just couldn't counter there insane movement and some guy with the roller dominated everyone with his ambushes o_o
 
My copy from the Game Collection was dispatched yesterday hope it arrives today but expecting it do arrive tomorrow.

Will have a little play when I get it but not gonna spend that long on is at as still want to finish The Witcher 3 before Batman.
 
It's on its way via courier! Should be getting it within the hour! ;3

Just a quick question for those who got it early, what should I jump on first? Does single-player content unlock stuff for multiplayer? Or should I just go straight to multiplayer to level and rank up?

Thanks!
