Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Game is sold out at all the Best Buys, Targets, Walmarts, and Gamestops in my area. I end up going to my cousins house about an hour away for a family visit, find some time to go out around here and its the same situation -.-
 
I was doing pretty bad with the charger in the current rotation. Switched to the splatershot jr .. I really forgot how fun this weapon was back in the global test. getting +1000 again!
 
Got in the one match I'll be able to do until Sunday. Had no real idea what I was doing but still got 1st on our team with 670-ish points and, with the win bonus, got to level 2.

Looking forward to getting plenty more time with the game on Sunday.
 
Game is like crack. Nintendo kind of dropped the ball with the lobby weirdness but they completely nailed things in terms of the time between matches. It's soooo easy to get sucked in when you're only waiting 30s - one minute before getting back into the action, unlike so many other MP games.
 
So I am like cosmically ass at this game (and shooters in general). This isn't even like Marvel/Mario Kart/Smash Bros/Guilty Gear where I'm bad only because everyone here playing is a god, I just can't wrap my head around basic movement and offense, never mind all the crazy going on at a moment's notice.

And yet I'm totally hooked. Huh. :lol

Also, that feel when everyone on your team gets stuck in the main hub of Arrowana Mall, 3 charger folks are set up on vantage points on the opposing team and the final member (who was already using a Roller) engages Kraken and watches us squirm. :lol :lol :lol
 
I feel so bad for my last three opponent teams. Two people got DC during each one and it pretty much ended up with them being spawn camped.
 
So for clothing shops do they update randomly or do you have to level up for shoes/shirts/hats? cause it's been the same for awhile for me, currently on level 11.
 
The music is so good. The art style is so great. The gameplay is fantastic. I'm having such a good time. Joining friends' games is pretty easy too, though it doesn't automatically put you into the same team. That's not that big a problem though, playing against friends isn't a bad thing.

What do people think of the maps? Saltspray Rig was my preferred map in the testfire and it continues to be my favourite map. Arowana mall at first felt too narrow but those side paths can be pretty important for sneaking around.
 
Trying not to jinx myself, but I have not had a single match with lag or disconnects. I'm pretty sure Nintendo hires wizards.

That being said, there is nothing worse than being on a team with no rollers vs. a team of all rollers.

I've had a lot of disconnects
 
Same, it gives me my special by the time I actually get into the fight.

I do that whenever I die for the first time in the battle. Controling the middle of the map is my priority in the 1st minute.

It actually goes like this

1st min : Get to the middle and secure the area by spraying ink and pushing back the enemy
2nd min : Work on pushing the enemy/covering everything your team missed
Last min : Focus on killing squids more (but still paint the ground for movement options) to deny the possibility of a comeback (or secure one for your team)

Dying in the last 30 secs of the match is bad. Losing 2+ teammates there is the worst thing ever
 
Anyone else getting the "failed to connect to partner's device" error when trying to join a battle? I haven't been able to get one match in yet :(

I've never got that in splatoon but get that sometimes in smash. There, it took me out of the online, but when I go back in I was able to find a match fine. If you're getting it everytime, try turning the wiiu off and on.

Higher star gear will begin to appear as you level up. Just need to wait for a new wave of clothing to appear in shops tomorrow.

Oh, that's weird. So the store restocks every day and the inventory is based on my level?

How do a lot of people already have two-star gear though? Are they all in territories where the game has been out longer?

thats why im confused i see people with new clothes on maybe they had the game before everyone else? cause my clothing shops haven't updated yet.

I think store gear will differ person to person on a given day. If you see something on a person that you like, you can order the equipment from Spike on the hub. Just approach the Squid and you can order their equipment for a fee.
