Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

That feeling when you beat Blue and Violet B)

Everytime I found that Violet had me on his crooshair I lost it. I mean, I think I was about to have a heart attack.

I had to rely on surprise attacks or flanking him while he was busy with other teammate.

Such tension, damnit
 
I'm surprised ranked mode hasn't unlocked yet. That container-thingy seemed pretty darn close to being full yesterday...

If I recall correctly, it was almost full on Saturday. I was surprised that it didn't fill completely on Sunday.

So yeah... I guess they wanted to release it on a certain date anyway.
 
I'm pretty sure they deceive us and it's a fake. >_>

It has to be.

Hell they probably won't even unlock it til this evening or tmrw.

I don't think Nintendo understood how fast people rank up in these game. That or they are letting the ranking system sort itself behind the scenes

They've only been updating it each day at around 4~5pm Japan time.
I expect the next update to be in about 16 or 17 hours if the trend continues.
 
Watched the quick look of this...the roller is ridiculous lol wth. Seems about what I expected though the traversal looks like it has interesting potential for a shooter...is it clunky at all (when swimming in and jumping from ink)?

Saw one of the jumps they did and it looked like a lot of fun, just dashing around, shooting the ground to go faster and getting quite good air leapage.

2 hours per map rotation is a bit nuts though.
 
Quick questions guys:
1) Can Japanese players play with US/EU players?
2) Can content unlocked online (costumes etc) be used offline?
3) can the Amiibo unlock costumes be used online?

1. Yes and they seem to wreck
2. In 1v1, but the single player campaign is different
3. Yes
 
I'm not even kidding about the range on that thing and how much ink it actually puts down, they could probably take an entire splat zone in just 2 shots.

It doesn't seem like it'd be much of a hinderance unless they put a splat zone by a spot that can be camped like that. It's not too bad to go against otherwise.
 
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.

A nice inkstrike would do the trick or a sneaky charge shot. That part of the rig is a campers dream come true. So many people sit there and pick people off with a long range weapon. Better off going for the cargo bay.
 
You guys think dlc is an obvious for this game?

They are already heavily conditioning us to online unlocked content as it is.

Probably a season pass for sale to stretch out rest of year?

Nah, not clunky at all.

4 hours per map rotation, not 2.

Definitely, after they roll out all the planned free stuff.
 
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.

Yup.

I am expecting Octolings to be made available via DLC in the future. I don't think they would have given them the same powers as Inklings (even the ghost animation) for nothing.

DLC maps will likely be a thing too and I would love DLC music as well.

Guessing they'll do some paid stuff after the free stuff since the game's such a hit.
I also wouldn't be surprised if they later released an update that made non-Splatoon Amiibo unlock Nintendo-themed clothing.

They just ran away from the Inkstrikes since we couldn't really block their retreat, and we didn't have any chargers on our team.

It's sad to think a roller had more range than anyone on my team.
 
Paid dlc inkling haircuts!

What's there in the SP world after you beat the final boss made me think they could do a sp dlc as well. (hoping for it honestly)

4 hours per map rotation, not 2.

Oh thanks. I mean 2 hours was bad enough that 4 hours doesn't make too much of a difference really. It may be even better as I can play a few rounds then be like, yeah maybe some more later. And not worry about coming back to it and finding they've reverted back to the same maps that day.

Think I'll pick this up, does look fun.
 
Wish there was a faster way to switch between my and my boyfriend's accounts. We have different inklings but I have to quit out to the Wii U menu each time to switch, ugh.

You'll be like the rest of us and play for the full 4 hours without realizing it.
 
ordered my inkling amiibos from 3 different stores :(
Walmart Amazon and some Shop in Japan for the Squid

Nintendo needs to fix this stuff a 3 pack is too hard to find

I think this game would benefit greatly from extended longevity via DLC like Mario Kart 8 had.

And they should totally make the Mario amiibo unlock a Fludd weapon.

Yeah this. It's annoying.
Well I shouldn't complain too much since my SO gives up and play with my inkling instead, leveling me up in the process.
 
Oh my god, just fought someone using the exact same tactic on Blackbelly Skatepark. They just stood on the tower in the middle and and covered the entire area in ink. Couldn't snipe them because they killed you before you could manage it with the throw attack, couldn't sneak up on them because they'd just roll you over and splat you (the player was literally just running around in a circle on the tower whenever someone tried to get up there), and they had a constant sprinkler going too, surrounding them with ink.

The Dynamo Roller seems to be the weapon for scumbag campers, fantastic. Never encountered this weapon before today but i'm already fucking sick of it.

Locking weapons behind amiibos? No thanks. Gears are fine, but weapons is going too far.

/edit holy shit! lost a match by a SINGLE point, 803-804 (43.4-43.3 or something)
