Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Well, seeing as this was my primary reason for purchasing a WiiU last week can I just say...I am completely addicted. This game is so much fun, and as much as I am only starting to get my head around what all the different icons on the gear means - I am sure it will get much better when I understand that stuff fully.

Looks like Nintendo have their claws in me again, changed my pre-order for Batman: Arkham Knight to Yoshi WW aswll - well played Nintendo, well played.

If anyone wants to add me on NNID, it's MrJohnSherry - I only have 2 friends who have WiiUs.

The red mark is how much ink is required to use your sub-weapon. The amount of ink above the red mark is what will be left over after using your sub. If your ink is below that mark the light on top of the tank won't be lit and you can't use your sub. So in that picture you can see that my sub (Seekers) uses almost an entire tank of ink, but on the right it uses a little less.

Thank you for that remark, i didnt know that :)

But I learn something new everytime I play, yesterday I finally realized that the gamepad vibrates if you going low on in...maybe I'm just slow :D
 
Where's my dedicated "Booyah!" button? Did Nintendo omit "Booyah!" from the European version? 'Cause "Nice!" simply ain't cutting it. We're not cultured enough to not want to "Booyah!" in people's faces.

At least they put a kill plane into Inkopolis, falling forever in a white void would suck.

According to the youtube comments looking at the back of the amiibo box is a neat thing to do.

Do you get the same amount of P for painting over enemy ink as you do an unpainted surface?

People have said it is slightly more for enemy ink but I've not tested.

I'm only interested in the SP and can't justify $60 just for that. Hoping someone wants to lend me their copy!

I'm a Jr. member b/c I was a regular member and before that a Jr. and before that a regular and before that a Jr. @_@ Too many shenanigans.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons that I've been loving the game so much - I seem to pick up something something new all the time. Plus, if I don't do so well, I can always tell myself that I have a lot to learn!
 
Spades said:
Yeah, because by looking at my map I'm able to say "hey, you guys go to zone X and we'll go to zone Y to have the best chance of winning".

It's rare that you can plan that far ahead, moreso if your opponents are good. You need to react to changes in paint layout and enemy proximity literally from one second to the next, because the game moves that fast. Cooperation is critical, but the idea of giving and receiving orders, particularly when you can see where everyone is and what they're doing on the Gamepad, seems rather futile to me.

I'm not against the game ever getting voice chat, but it certainly doesn't need it.
 
Going to make clean shots of all maps and post them on gamefaqs or something, that way you can easily tell someone which spot on the map you mean.

A spot I pointed out to Sendou. An example of how you can use this:

Couple of questions:
1) Is there a list of which abilities stack and don't stack yet?
2) Is there any advantage to a gear ability having the main slot instead of one of the random ones?

I would think things like tenacity and opening gambit wouldn't stack but I'm not sure.

The learning curve just goes up and up with every minute you play :) So do we know if we still get EXP in ranked battles too, in addition to rank points? Sorry if this is a stupid question

Anyone figure out what the above does? I only ever see it with 2/3 squids filled in and a +2.5 above it. Not sure what it's used for.

Goes up with wins, goes down with loses.

Talk to Judd when you are high up. Resets after every map rotation change.

It's like a Win-Streak Counter.

You can get a +10.0 and then cash it in with Judd outside in the Hub and he'll give you a bonus.

It goes up with wins.. I think it's 1 point for a win and -0.5 point for a loss. Talking to Judd when you have some filled will cause him to give you some money. In my experience even if you cash in, if you get to a higher named rank later that day he'll give you some more.
 
Just fought someone with the Dynamo Roller, they were standing here for the entire match (red circle)
8f21922a94c8050dd4f7ae466523e7eb.png


and they were just jumping and using the rollers ranged attack, and the range on that fucking thing is ridiculous (the green circle). they were just throwing out attacks blindly, and a direct hit was an insta kill.

And because they were up there on the safe area, we could barely hit them at all. That entire area was being inked by this one person in seconds, and it was pointless to ink the area because we couldn't kill the bastard, and every time we did they just went straight back to their spot.

It was the cheapest tactic I've seen in this game so far, it legit made me angry because we could do nothing to stop it.

That sounds annoying as hell. Wonder how many people will try to abuse it in ranked.
 
Seriously though, I walked into my Game store to pick up my amiibos to be told they'd been stolen.. Looked to see if I could buy any £20 each lowest price I could find.

I managed to get the squid edition, but I want squid girl....

Bad times!
