Splatoon Twitter just updated the progress bar to Ranked.


I say tomorrow. 21 hours ago it was at the second bar, so it moved up by 3?

going quicker then even I expected lol

I played maybe about 3 hours of splatoon singleplayer, only reason I stopped being my gamepad battery was dying, but I was having a blast, also, it seems everyone has a splatoon miiverse post for their character, I dont remember it giving me the option to do this, unless im suppose to go to the lobby, I just went straight to singleplayer because of the story and to get some practice in so I wont look like a scrub.

Go to the mailbox with the Miiverse logo in the plaza.

So regarding the whole "Gyro On/Off" debate. The only answer that makes any sense is on. It's basically like control vs keyboard and mouse in shooters. It's just more efficient and more effective, you just have to learn to use it properly. I guarantee you if you could put a team of four gyro users vs a team of four analog stick users, assuming both teams are of equal skill, the gyro users would win. No question.

got my schoolgirl uniform

Wish there was a proper leggings item slot instead of just a shirt.

Question to those who got far in the Single Player

Spoiler

Is Bluefin Depot a decent 'open' octoling stage? Since the others Octoling stages are all either existing MP maps or confirmed to be coming, it could give a decent idea to another one

Yes, that's one of the upcoming MP maps.

 

[Teknoman]

Booyah!

 

[SmithnCo]

That is why I hate skatepark

 

[BlueSilver]

.6%! GG

 

[Heng]

Lol nice, didn't run into you that time silver.

 

[Bullza2o]

Are the Amiibo challenges/costumes only unlocked after I finish the story mode? I scanned all 3 amiibos and nothing happened...

 

[PBalfredo]

Skatepark can be real rough on a roller if the enemy takes the center tower. No way a roller can ever hope to take it back.

 

[ActStriker]

Game so good. Rounds so short you think you can play one more all the time

Got to level 6.

if you add me say you're from GAF in the message

That and the "Fuck I accidentally said yes... and I can't back out."

 

[hughesta]

Sent you a friend request.

Yeah, sent a request.

Thanks guys! Will join as soon as a slot opens. Time for some squid jumping.

Depends on what special you have, really. Kraken and grenades help.

 

[foxuzamaki]

So I caved and bought it today. Not 100% happy with my purchase, but not hating it either.

Love the art style, the world, the weapons, yadda yadda.

What's to hate? I think the controls are rabid dog shit. I tried with motion, without motion, up and down on sensitivity, and yeah...worst controls in a shooter ever. Anyone defending this is high. :/ I have 1/10th of my precision from say a Call of Duty or Halo compared to here. Thank goodness this game doesn't have headshots mattering (does it?) because there's no way in hell you'll pop a dome intentionally.

Yoooo, git gud son, aint no aim assist for you here. bout dat pure skill and movement.

The challenges are based on story mode levels. You need to complete the story mode level so that you unlock the amiibo challenge level of it.

 

[Belgian Dude]

Yes, that's one of the upcoming MP maps.

Alright, thanks!

 

[Omzz]

Im really inconsistent with the P scores at the end...im confused

 

[BlueSilver]

The Jr. is too good. =(

 

[Teknoman]

Almost in a full gaf room here. Its me, red, smith, gaia, blue, heng...

 

[Jachaos]

Oh ok, that makes sense, thanks man!

No problem!

 

[Garraboa]

Is this variation of Splattack on the game?

 

[hughesta]

Oh god I need to never use a Charger again

 

[Heng]

That was bad performance on my end. :/

 

[RedFyn]

This gun :/ its* both awesome and awful

*It being my aim really

 

[SmithnCo]

Almost full gaf besides the Japanese guy

 

[BlueSilver]

Switching back to Charger after this.

 

[Teknoman]

Is this variation of Splattack on the game?

Maybe it'll be used for the new game modes or ranked?

 

[Garraboa]

Maybe it'll be used for the new game modes or ranked?

So it's not in? Crap IMO it's the superior version

 

[PBalfredo]

Victory with a 0.3% difference.

Everything mattered.

 

[guek]

This game was already amazing...and it's even better drunk. *hic*

 

[Wired All Wrong]

I'll join you. NNID XRayMonster. Send a friend request and I'll join in.

 

[blitzwolf215]

cool joined a gaf match

 

[BlueSilver]

Comm error. Who won?

 

[Heng]

You guys did.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

It's so hard to stop playing. I've put in about 12 hours and I only got the game 26 hours ago. Guhhhh

 

[BlueSilver]

You guys did.

You got me good several times though. =D

 

[blitzwolf215]

Damn disconnected.

 

[Heng]

You got me good several times though. =D

Haha I'm using a pretty OP weapon. You did very good.

 

[petethepanda]

I understand the reasoning behind the two-map daily rotation but I can't decide if I think it'll make people burn out on the game slower or faster.

By the time that happens, ranked mode will unlock. It's brilliant.

Its every 4 hours not daily. And I'm not sure either

^thats true

The shower also stops bubbles and krakens

 

[shanafan]

Sorry to ask this question. I did a search, but couldn't get the answer I needed.

For Turf Wars, or anything in the game, can I use the Pro Controller? From what I read so far, it seems like the Pro Controller only works in Battle Dojo. Is this true?

 

[ActStriker]

Cool, joined a GAF room

 

[BlueSilver]

Looks like I joined a non-GAF room. ;_;

Yeah only Gamepad for majority of the game. Pro controller only works for dojo.

 

[Sector Clear]

Counter Strike people FFS!

The object of the game is to paint the map with as much of your colour as possible, Not camping at the top of a higher area death matching all through the map...

 

[Vena]

Haha, if you paint Captain Scuttlefish, he'll stare at you then shake off the paint.
