Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

hey in the lobby and after battles under the money you have there is a bar that fills with green. and says things like cool or so hot. What is that? some kind of rating system? but it isnt ranked mode.

Help plz
 
Been so hype for this game ever since it was announced. 45 minutes left of work and I'm heading straight to Best Buy for pick up. Got it for $30 with the 50% off glitch last weekend. Can't wait!!!
 
I'm pretty sure you can change the sensitivity of the controls in the options menu.

It only seems to apply to the analog stick, and even then doesn't make a gigantic difference when it's maxed out.

I've never played a gyro control game that allowed for sensitivity adjustment. OoT3D, MM3D, WWHD, Arkham City, 3D Land, whatever... the gyro moves the way it does and that's that. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that it's using 1:1 input, but the movement required for gyro aiming severely reduces speed of placing the cursor compared to IR aiming.
 
I love that the stages are pre-selected. That makes the waiting time between every match very short. No need to wait for someone to eat his pizza or taking a piss :)
3 stages in rotation would be ideal, but it's gonna be the case in a couple of weeks.
 
Loving this game and I seem to be the only one on both teams that regularly scores over 1000. Though it does look like people are getting the better hang of it as the matches go on.

Same here, can't wait to get into some matches with just GAFfers because randos online aren't very good so far.

Protip: Don't super jump to someone who's ten feet away from your spawn point.

Also, if anyone didn't know I just noticed that you can use the bumpers to quickly jump between stores.

Definitely. There are a lot more Splattershot Jrs now.

What exactly is the difference between the two Splattershots? I'm guessing the normal one has better range and Jr. shoots more quickly or has more spread or something? Can't quite put my finger on what it is about it but Jr. just feels crappy to me, I do way better with the regular model.
 
The Splatoon 3DS theme went up on the NA eShop today. It plays the main theme song!
Nice. I was waiting for it. Although the Nikki theme is so adorable, swapping it for another is almost a crime.
Good, so only people with great roller skill will be left, and I'll do anything to be one of them.
But I think there'll be tons of inkbrush users, that speed!
*raises hand* You can count me as an Inkbrush player.
 
Is it just me or are there very few people using rollers?

I've been maining the Kraken Roller. But there seems to be a bit of a fall off at the higher levels (10+), when people suddenly learn the Roller is more of an ambush weapon and you can't just charge forward without being killed very easily.
 
I wonder what the system is for the graffiti that pops up. I didn't realize that that was a feature and I did a double-take when I saw a billboard of Squidward on one level. The next one had "Splatoon > Call of Duty" in it. You'd think there'd be rules due to copyright or whatever.
 
Rollers have been getting destroyed from what I've seen in my games. It's kinda funny now how many people were calling them OP before.

I get more kills with rollers but my score is about the same as splatter shot so I dunno. I'm terrible with chargers tho lol

They just take any of the hand drawn Miiverse posts. I may try my hand at a sketch, but it'll look less like an inkling and more like a pile of crap, because I really can't draw.

The Jr one has more spread and I think the fire rate is faster as well. I prefer the regular as well, but I think Jr is the better between these two.

WHAT

that explains why I saw one which just said "memes"
 
Just spent about 30 mins in for the first time since Testfire, and had loads of fun. Some of these higher levels must have multiple Damage+ perks though, I was getting one-shotted like crazy in a few of those rounds.
 
Picked up my copy tonight. Every store I went to had plenty of the Ink Boy and Ink Girl Amiibos but none of them had the 3-Pack. Pretty bummed. Hopefully I can find them next week

I wish NoA would release the Squid separately, so I could just buy the other two now and grab him in the future.
 
Was able to snag boy and girl amiibo. I'll have to pass on the squid unless it drops in price online.

Is there a way to change your hair color?
 
Is it just me or is the first stage where the octolings show up pretty much a perfect multiplayer map? Seems like they could just drag and drop that as a map, looks pretty balanced and everything.
 
Ok, first thing I'll do when I get the game tomorrow is :
- Finish single player, to train a bit and more importantly ->
- Unlock every levels in the Amiibos challenge, I want that robot-like suite + roller challenges's replica roller. (And Squid Beatz)
- Hop online and get destroyed as I learn how to be a good roller main.
 
the skate park is a silly time as a roller. I keep sitting on the tower in the center and jumping off to bonk people as they try to climb up.
 
So my Wii U clock isn't updated so it was saying 23:00 when it was actually 00:00. Well it seems the server time is what determines gear. I guess to prevent you from clock abusing.

Apart from that. Spyke let me down. He couldn't find what I wanted so sold me some shoes instead. No idea if I had just bought what I had ordered...still 5000 for some 2 star shoes seems very expensive so I dread what the 3 star gear will cost in 24 hours time.

Speaking of 2 star equipment it takes a while to get both slots (slot 1, 2000, slot 2 6000 total 8000).
 
Been playing this non-stop all day! I freakin' LOVE THIS GAME! Such aesthetic charm and great mechanics. Deeply strategic too once you get into it!

I really appreciate that I can take my time with the Single Player

As much as that hyped up final boss is something I want to see and even though I do want to get to the Amiibo challenges it's entertaining enough that I like to go between it and multiplayer.

I feel like they've managed to balance this out pretty well.


Cuties
 
Got to level 7 in about an hour and a half. I seem to average about 1000p per match and have probably won 2/3rds of my matches. I had one match where I was 9-0 and my team still lost. I need to get better about using grenades and shields when I have them.

Wish I could keep playing but I need to take a break and eat haha. Probably going to be playing this all night though.
