Voting for Splatoon OT2 Subtitle is now available
-- QUOTE TO REVEAL --
14 possible alternatives selected pretty much entirely from user suggestions. Unless some out-of-the-park suggestion happens that is universally agreed on, these are the ones we're looking at. Whichever subtitle has the most votes by the time this thread runs it's course will be selected.
This goes without saying but please don't spread this anywhere or try to rig the polls. Let's make it fair and fun.

yeah just keep playing, rollers are anything but OP
It's so satisfying to play well as a roller. I think they require a very high skill level to be effective. The mind games you are playing with that weapon are off the charts.
yeah you have to be really defensively minded and perceptive. you have to think a few steps ahead of what you're currently doing at all times.

Too many good choices in the OT2 title poll.

Wait we're already thinking of OT2. Why it'll have to be "Why the heck are you naked?!" (notice how in a later panel they say paint as much of the floors and walls as you can 
)
The reason you're thinking of Spyke is prior to today's update there was a glitch where you could buy something from Spyke then get the streak bonus from Judd and get completely refunded what you just spent with Spyke.
Desperate to see if I could bring this glitch back I decided to try deleting the update data. The Wii U refused to boot the game up until I had redownloaded the update, lol.

Happened to me too lol.

Finally got to play some ranked mode last night. Splatzones is a fun change up, but I definitely prefer turf wars. Splatzones just feels like domination modes from other shooters and gets too hectic and campfest-ish for me to play a ton of it. Where as turf war feels very new and fresh. And is also more fun for mediocre players like me since the bulk of good players moved on to ranked.
I'm also only level 12, so I still need points, thus it's harder to justify putting limited gaming time into ranked right now since you get no points if your team loses. I'll check it out more once I hit 20.
Single player wise I finished up the second set of levels and boss. Need to get through the third and get the Asrospray.

Finally tried it out last night. It's pretty fun, and the online multiplayer isn't nearly as annoying as I initially thought it would be. Still not too keen on only playing with the Gamepad except in 1v1 battles.
I don't think Aerosprays are OP, they are just good at racking up points. I prefer them on close quarters maps, they are much easier to kill with there. But they are awful when you are trying to push into an area with a long corridor entrance. Their range is really, really bad. You have to be good at sneaking up on people and popping them, or utilizing your specials and sub weapons effectively.
Speaking of which, I tried out Dual Squelcher last night and really liked it. It's not as good for killing as the Aerospray, but it's got some great range that lets your protect stuff from on high platforms, which I love doing (and really isn't super effective with Aerosprays). It's got echolocator, too, which is useful to combat a push and dig in heels for defense. I went on quite the kill streak with it last night. Granted, you don't rack up as much coverage as higher rate of fire weapons, but I feel it's a lot more versatile.
Honestly, the only thing I think is "OP" right now is the Kraken, but that's likely because I just don't know how to avoid it perfectly yet other than to swim away (which seems like you are giving up a lot of turf).

Ink therefore I am is the worst, I hate when I see that on miiverse. We need a Squidward one.

I love the mode, but dislike how points are given. There should be a bonus based on your individual position.

Yeah if anything they're just P
Awesome. Anything i should be aware of? i'll be having one of my coworkers come over tomorrow so we can try it. It'll be hard to get away from the witcher 3. But this game looks darn good.

Last night in ranked, I made it to +25.5 hawtness, made like 140,000 squid monies, and went from C+ to A-
I'm pretty sure it does, there was a time where I would get +14 for first, +12 for second, +10 for third and fourth place
It's called Ranked Mode. No-one has groove there.
You sure that aint just because you were facing higher ranked people?

It's a subtle way for the game to say that it hates you too
I am so sorry for anyone on my team in Ranked while I try to figure out out to use the Custom Blaster effectively. This thing seems designed for kills and it's slow as hell so I think Splat Zones is the only place I can really make use of it. I keep doing this thing where I miss and stand there like an idiot while I wait to shoot again - it's gonna take a bit to get out of the Aerospray RG rapid-fire mindset. At least the blast radius is pretty awesome for splatting around corners.
Shoot and squid. Shoot and squid.

Voted for Squids Next Door, becauseI wanted that to be the title for this first OT.
Walls Don't Count would be my second choice, though.
I suggest "New Squids on the Block" for OT3.
What weapon are you using? I like the shower but I don't really like the weapon it's on.

Stay away from rollers, shoot from a distance and backtrack.
You can switch between gyro controls and dual sticks
Just have fun

Play Ranked - murder town.
Play Regular - scrub city.
Come back to Regular, high ranked people...

The 'game of zones' one made me laugh, that has my vote.
Been on a horrible streak as I try out new weapons that aren't the roller. I like using the zapper a lot, as well as the custom jet squelcher/dual squelcher. But man, nothing beats the sneaky set ups of a good roller. May play with the aerosprays more.

Too bad the splattershot pro uses so much ink. I wonder if 2 ink saver perks would help that

I'm really glad they fixed the framerate in inkopolis. It was so distracting! Smooooth 60 now.

Splat zones stress me out but are fun as hell. So conflicted.
Jump onto walls in squid form. Most people using the kraken don't expect it, will go right past you, and then you can get behind them and take them out.
