Playing in a lobby with 6 Japanese players and the lag was so bad that 3 direct hits from my Inkzooka didn't even phase the guy. And every person I killed ended up killing my a good 6 seconds after they were dead.

Does anyone own the Prima Guide? Does it give ability boost numbers?

From a quick test, using 3 (!) pieces of gear with Swim Speed Up as their MAIN ability only improves travel time by 14%, so it's effectively useless. Also, despite the game saying Ninja Squid reduces “slightly” your swimming speed, the difference is insignificant (less than 2%) so don't hesitate to use it.

2% really? Maybe I will get it then. I want Ninja Jump too.

 

[RedFyn]

Does hitting someone directly with a sprinkler kill them?

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Anybody playing turf wars?

 

[Revolutionary]

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are. Running into a literal meat grinder over and over rather than attempting a different route

 

[Malus]

Went from hating to loving splatzones pretty quick lol. Maybe it's the map rotation.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Anybody playing turf wars?

i can switch over to truf wars if someone wants to get a lobby going

 

[Newtype-001]

I love the new map. Its so good.

Admittedly it feels like they made some concessions to the abilities in due part so they can stack. My fears of gear being too overpowered were relatively missplaced.

Do I really want to play through 25 time trials to unlock the Amiibo costume and a minigame? Not a fan of the Amiibo content

You and me both, so lazy.

The Squid amiibo challenges take like 45 min- 1 hour. Seems worth it for music player/rhythm game. Found it more entertaining than the regular story missions.

 

[Razmos]

Hmm, Port Mackerel is a really fun map

 

[Vylash]

Hmm, Port Mackerel is a really fun map

i swear i'm the only one who bothers to paint the sides and in between the crates

I'm down. These randoms and lag from playing people overseas is killing me! Been the highest scoring every game but keep losing

I feel ya, I don't think my team inked any of those my entire last match. If I hadn't held back and been so diligent with my inking, we wouldn't have won.

And yet I got the lowest score on my team!
*shrug*

 

[Mister Sloane]

Yeah, I didn't see any noticeable slowdown using Ninja Squid.

 

[RedFyn]

This new gun is pretty fun. Does any other gun have the mist of paint effect when firing?

 

[Boba2007]

Spent over an hour making this.


Worth it.

Spoiler

I got lazy on the bottom letters though

 

[Hylian7]

I like that a lot of the items that didn't seem particularly useful in Turf War are pretty much a core part of Splat Zones. I'm talking about the Sprinkler, Splash Wall, and Echolocator. Also Inkstrikes are ridiculously useful in this mode.

NNID? Mine's my forum name.

Actually one of the things Judd says is that abilities stack diminishingly.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Same as my forum name. If you have red on your friend list you can just join his he's in here now.

Huh, I didn't notice that until you pointed it out, that's pretty cool.

 

[KooopaKid]

Is it me or the Japanese players know to play the game better than Americans/Europeans?

 

[Shahadan]

I don't know why I'm just noticing the ink tank emptying on your back

 

[atr0cious]

Don't have him. I'll add you, I guess.

 

[RedFyn]

I'm having to learn how to aim again. A roller plays so differently.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

I don't know why I'm just noticing the ink tank emptying on your back

Guess what, shortly before you run out of ink your gamepad will start vibrating before you get the remark that you are low on ink...

 

[Gaiaknight]

join u guys after this raned match

 

[ViviOggi]

splat zones literally 6.83

HOHO HAHA SPRINKLER

 

[Skiesofwonder]

At this point ranking up is just gambling, the competition is so even and both these levels are long distance so it's hard for me to make any progess.

 

[Razmos]

Was worried waking up this morning that due to the random nature of the rotations I wouldn't get to play on the new map.

All 3 of my matches have been on the new map, lol.

Also the last match was pretty tense and it looked really close, until the results screen where I noticed we won by 10%, I was confused until I noticed that the enemy had left an entire section of the map uninked. ahaha, idiots.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

I'm gonna back out and add atrocious and then join Red.

And look top scorer on the losing team again ):

 

[Hylian7]

Japanese players using the Aerosprays = Troll attack speed

 

[TheJoRu]

My first Amiibo.

[Gaiaknight]

alright b- rank woot ime to jin gaf room

 

[Revolutionary]

Holy shit just won a match 83-82 in overtime. That was intense

 

[CrimsonCommie]

alright b- rank woot ime to jin gaf room

Looks like Red backed out too. I'll join yours I guess?

 

[StayDead]

I love the Sprinkler too. I've noticed over the past day or so though that people are getting smart and actually shooting them.

How much does one piece do. Assuming 14% is accurate and one piece is 8% it suggests it is indeed addition but each addition is half the previous one. 8+4+2=14.

 

[Gaiaknight]

sure go ahead

 

[RedFyn]

Looks like Red backed out too. I'll join yours I guess?

Uhh I didn't. I'm still waiting.

Do I need to join someone now?

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Uhh I didn't. I'm still waiting.

Do I need to join someone now?

Hmm I don't know. I backed out to add some people and now I don't see anybody in my friend list that I can join right now. Are we all just waiting for somebody to start so we can join lol

 

[Gaiaknight]

yea no one is showing up on my list

 

[RedFyn]

OK

Playing with a gun has made me realize just how annoying a good roller can be. And how bad mist rollers are. Holy cow I feel like I need to teach a roller 101 class, it almost hurts to see these guys failing.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

I just started so y'all can join mine if it's showing up

 

[Gaiaknight]

alright

 

[ViviOggi]

indeed. very unfortunate

 

[Sendou]

Can we play ranked with friends? Is the new map good? > < Skatepark?
