ready

 

[Blunoise]

Hey guys just added my NNID on the spreadsheet please add me up! I hope this becomes like destiny gaf and we will be playing and helping eachother out

 

[HIUHAU]

took my nap

ready

Didn't take mine, and in local time it's already past midnight. Guess who is going to sleep in class tomorrow...

 

[Elfstruck]

Wow, this is such a beautiful OT. Nice work OP!

 

[Sakura]

Team of 4 rollers vs a team of all guns. Never had a chance...
Wonder if teams are chosen randomly or if it is balanced by rank. Should really balance by weapons though.

 

[jwillenn]

took my nap

ready

same here

just played some Super Lag Bros. 4 (actually, I had excellent connections in FG with something like 6/10 people)

 

[random25]

Never waited more than 10 seconds. No lag.

Nice. Hopefully my speed won't be a problem. MK8 was really good for me even with worldwide races but Smash 4 online can be streaky with friends from abroad (kinda stuck with local people and Japanese folks online for lag-less battles).

 

[B00TE]

took my nap

ready

No nap here, but I'm gonna be loaded with the essentials for at least a few hours of splatting tonight. Hoping the addictiveness keeps me up more than anything.

 

[norm9]

A little over half an hour. This is some creeping hype train that happened. Didn't give a fuck about this game a week ago but bought when I got home tonight and now just killing time till it unleashes itself.

 

[Neff]

Fortunately there is no voice chat. I'm already screaming "IT'S NOT A DEATHMATCH YOU MORONS FFS PAINT THAT GROUND!!!1!" at my screen

It's kind annoying when the match starts and your team of n00bs rushes forward for a taste of deathmatch blood.

Killing opponents is a super-legit tactic of course. You've just gotta not get killed yourself and

Spoiler

REMEMBER TO PAINT

.

One look at the map at the end of the match is enough to explain how it works, fortunately.

Seems there really isn't any protection against spawn camping in this game if everyone gets taken down at once. Had a round earlier where we ended up with 3 rollers on our team, so some guy with a Splattershot painted the immediate area around our spawn so we couldn't use squid form and then stood himself in such a position that he could shoot at us the second we leave the protective zone, but far enough away that we couldn't reach him before we got gunned down. And this was just one guy handling 3 people, had the others joined in we wouldn't have stood a chance.

Shoot the floor from within the spawnpad?

 

[Blunoise]

So does anyone know how long the the Japanese lines were for this game? I'm hoping it did well for its first day sales

 

[Hatchtag]

Fuck. Do I buy digitally or wait till tomorrow and get the squirt gun?
How big's the game anyways? And is it going up in ~30 minutes?

 

[Isotope]

It's 1.8 GB
And yes, it'll be available at 12 A.M. EST

First day sell through in Japan was around 110k-112k according to the MC thread. Pretty good start for the game.

 

[SmithnCo]

30 minutes!

Oh wow that is good. Thanks!

 

[Exile20]

Soon there

 

[BlueSilver]

I just bought the game on the eShop. I'll be able to play at 10 PM PST. I'm also gonna add myself to the spreadsheet. Here's hoping for some fun GAF matches in an hour and a half. =)

... Maybe I'll play with the gamepad map only. Heh.

That's really awesome.

 

[Blues1990]

Man, hearing that everyone is having a ball with the game is making me excited to get my copy, along with my Ness and Splatoon Amiibo.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to play it until I get home after work tomorrow.

 

[Entryhazard]

Completed the story mode. Cool levels I wish there was more though the lore is nice.

The final boss is made of awesome and the music in general is crazy good.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

sorry in advance for splatting you guys my Mii's nickname is "Smiles"

Spoiler

I'm not sorry

 

[Gravidee]

50 minutes

Someone should edit the sadfrog to make it look like the Octarian mooks.

 

[Kodaman]

20 minutes... almost there

 

[tesqui]

screw you guys! I'll probably be picking this up in a week or two...

 

[Saint Gregory]

It's actually been on the store for pre-load for a few days now, there was no need to wait

 

[black_clavus]

My copy & squid inkling amiibo was shipped yesterday.
Can't wait to play it tonight!

 

[Hatchtag]

It's actually been on the store for pre-load for a few days now, there was no need to wait

Yeah but it won't be playable for 12 minutes.
I'm debating if it's better to get it sooner and just buy the squirt gun off ebay or something.

 

[Boney]

Enjoy your video games kids

 

[B00TE]

Ten minutes. C'MOOOOOOON.

Unrelated note, I didn't know you could actually get friend requests, thought it worked like the 3DS where you had to add each other. Gonna need to add a lot of GAFfers sometime soon.

 

[Jeeves]

So I have the game preloaded. Will I have to download some more of it from the eshop or will I be able to launch the game in ten minutes?

lol

Once it hits midnight ET, you will have to download a small portion of the game and then you can start it.

You have to update (around 44 Mb in size) before you can launch it.

 

[AdanVC]

5 minutos! Enjoy the game everyone. Will join hopefully next week! It sucks to be poor especially this week with Splatoon and tons of new amiibo releasing.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Lol

It is time, guys

 

[PadWarrior]

Man wish I had cash to get it for you

 

[Gravidee]

Lol, I meant these guys given that they have similarly large eyes and lips.

 

[SmithnCo]

So close... Clicking the game icon in hopes of the update.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

So, is Ice Climbers in this game?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Lol, I meant these guys given that they have similarly large eyes and lips.

Whoops! Next time.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

You are a kid no longer, me fellow squid!

 

[OryoN]

Longest minute ever...

 

[Garrett Hawke]

So, is Ice Climbers in this game?

No, because the GamePad isn't powerful enough.

 

[Marcus]

it's time..

 

[Gsnap]

Local wal-mart put the splatoon cases in the racks already, so I tried to get one but they said they can't sell it until midnight. : / But that's only 1 hour, so I'll just have to go back.

Be online schooling nobody in an hour!

 

[Hatchtag]

Same. Just gave up a squirt gun to play this asap.

 

[Blunoise]

I'm gonna be a squid soon!!!
