Ok so yesterday was the day everything changed for me in Splatoon. I finally got to level 10 and started getting better gear and playing Splat Zones. I am officially addicted and thinking about it all day at work. Humming the victory song, thinking about strategies and what gear/perks to get. My god Nintendo gets me every time.

Oh and my post wouldn't be complete without a question. Do win streaks increase your experience or money earned at all?

 

[NotLiquid]

Splash wall is a bitch on the port stage...

Speaking of which, has anyone really found a good application for them yet?

I really feel like there's something I'm missing with them.

 

[Totakeke]

If you aren't in any kind of choke point, anyone smart will just go around it.

Exactly the best way to score kills, they are making a predictable move upon seeing the splash wall. That's not smart.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Sendou is so good at the game, he can kil people after he is killed.

 

[Robotguy]

I just wish you didn't throw the splat wall. Just placing it right infront of you would be so much better.

I've played very little with weapon sets containing the splat wall, but when I have I've often had trouble getting it where I want.

You get a money bonus if you talk to Judd after a winning streak.

Look down and throw it.

Put it in front of you. Now you're invincible against inkzookas and any projectile weapons.

Echolocators are best for Splat Zones in my opinion. I see them all the time in ranked. Knowing where the enemies are approaching from is huge. In Turf War they are just okay, since it is kind of a free for all.

I was under that impression myself, but it seems people really consider it not widespread enough. It's good to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Nah, it's a bad perk, like the shoe one that reveals mines. Far too situational, and the alternatives are more useful. Recon is like a brief echolocator when you're standing at spawn, and ninja squid is just amazing. Both of those are always useful and don't depend on your enemy's decisions on what gear they bring.

Well, as I implied above, I have faced a lot of echos in ranked, and GAF rooms often have one at the very least. It is situational indeed but I wouldn't consider it a bad perk. Also, recon doesn't share information with your team, so I'd actually consider that the inferior option (I use echo a lot, so that might be why). I agree on the ninja squid one, though.

 

[Kouriozan]

Well, random is Aerospray heaven.

 

[Vecks]

I haven't used the splat wall much, but is it not like other sub weapons where if you hold down the button it shows you where you'll be throwing?

 

[GWX]

Xeteh you have gotten really good with the .96 gal!

You're saying I won't see him with a bubble anymore? yay

 

[GenG3000]

I was getting rekt as a kelp charger in the central maze section in Port Mackerel, so I decided to stay back and guard the base by camping from above the containers and ledges over the ally base until my team managed to dominate the center, and my results improved greatly with all the teams I played with.

I'm struggling with the sprinkler though. I have yet to learn how to place it well instinctively, but that may be a matter of accumulating experience with it.

 

[Kathian]

Throw charge and shoot.

 

[atr0cious]

I'm usually never in any rush to do so at the start of a round.

Considering the likely deaths you or your team mates will go through you'll have plenty of chances to ink the base after you've managed to make the race to the key points.

We lost by a few percentages, all of which could've been caught up in our own base. Once the match starts, especially with equal match, there is no time except at the start

 

[Sendou]

Sendou is so good at the game, he can kil people after he is killed.

On my end you are the only one lagging so I'm betting it's your connection.

 

[Shahadan]

Some japanese guy was killing me everytime with the baloon bombs wtf

 

[Xeteh]

You're saying I won't see him with a bubble anymore? yay

The bubble is still my one true love.

 

[Burnburn]

Lagging for me too

 

[Kouriozan]

Yay GAF lobby.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Will there ever be a version of ranked with friends?

 

[hillsighed]

I definitely agree that Echolator is great for Splat Zones. However, when I do use it I lose way more than I win because it seems like whenever I don't have Inkstrike no one else does either and Inkstrike has literally won me ranked matches before. Echolocator important but I'm going to go ahead and say it: Inkstrike is better for that mode. It's an extremely quick way to stop the timer if the other team has control and makes for an easy push while they try to re ink.

 

[Rebel Leader]

The bubble is still my one true love.

Bubbles are for people that only feel fear

 

[Burnburn]

I mean Reila is lagging for me too, this is what happens when you try to comment quickly

 

[Kouriozan]

Sorry skies :x

 

[atr0cious]

You lag a touch.

 

[Xeteh]

Lol Sendou, that Killer Wail kept two of us standing in teh spawn for the duration.

 

[xandaca]

Finally dragged my way up to B-. Still getting paired with utter vomtards so am not rating my chances of staying there, but it's nice to at least have seen another letter grade, even if it's only briefly.

 

[Dr. Buni]

On my end you are the only one lagging so I'm betting it's your connection.

You are the only person who kills me after i kill you, though. And I remember someone complaining about you teleporting around, so I am not sure if my connection is the problem.

 

[BitStyle]

Good games, all. Sorry for whatever teams I weighted down; I'm stubbornly trying to make this squiffer work out.

Stop squidding around

But... But... Only the japanese lag!!!

 

[Enforced]

Damn it feltrol. :x

 

[daydream]

we don't know for sure but i'd be surprised if that wasn't part of the august update

 

[Dr. Buni]

Ok. I am out of the room then, dont want to ruin other people's fun.

 

[MrPanic]

Sendou is definitely lagging on my end, only one I noticed lagging so far, but I just joined.

 

[Sendou]

Like I said I seriously doubt I lag when I don't have problems beyond certain inviduals but I can restart my modem to see if that improves the situation in any case.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Sendou is definitely lagging on my end, only one I noticed lagging so far, but I just joined.

It's not lag but a squinja skill

 

[AGoodODST]

lol just went 17-2 in that game. Think that is my best so far.

 

[Feltrol]

Damn it feltrol. :x

Ah Roller user, eh? I will enjoy this.

The sprinkler that I ninja squid-jumped to? Yeah that was fresh, just like squid jumping into a bubbler

It's an extremely quick way to stop the timer if the other team has control and makes for an easy push while they try to re ink.

My teams usually have one Inkstrike on them, and it is absolutely useful in Splat Zones, but I think a Roller can do the same job if you have Echolocator on your team, as you can just kill them and re-ink quickly that way.

Ideally having a roller on your team with a human form move speed bonus would be great.

 

[Kouriozan]

All of your team was dead, so yay super jump and then, bubbler T-T

 

[MrPanic]

Ok, gotta switch back to motion controls, the stick controls are just too iffy.

 

[Feltrol]

Rufus, you're very good with the Roller!

Spoiler

Teach me your secrets, master.

 

[blue_phazon]

Do the abilities stack?

For example if I have headgear with increased def, and shoes with increased def, do i have +2 Def overall?

It would be somewhere between +1 and +2.

 

[Kouriozan]

Attack animation taking ages is not a good thing :lol

 

[Doctor Rover]

I got the game now.

I'm Level 5 and recently beat the first boss.

Spoiler

It had nice legs.

 

[Xeteh]

Attack animation taking ages is not a good thing :lol

Thats why I can't use Dynamo.
