Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Hit level 10, hope ranked comes out by tomorrow. It'd be nice if it was updated in real time too, with a Squid Sisters news flash and all.

Do we know if they plan on adding more music soon? What's there is good but there's not a lot of it.

Considering most competitive shooters have no music during matches I think Splatoon's 4-5 songs is pretty good.
 
Krak-On Splat Roller is the best weapon to me.

Covers alot of ground, sub weapon allows me to place way points, and special gives me a chance to push further once I encounter the enemy. The invincible attacking squid lasts such a great amount of time and even paints too.

Won most of my games with it.
 
It's really refreshing to see Nintendo push lore so deep in a game like this. Makes me excited for a sequel on their next system, but that's getting carried away this early.

Yeah like for me going through each level is more about finding the sunken scroll so I can read more about the back story. So cool! :P

Just gotta hold out for the Hideki Naganuma arrange collection dropping this summer from the Squid Soul label as complimentary DLC with the other big things.

I hope.

I dream.

I wish.
 
So how many maps have we seen now that haven't been released yet? I keep thinking there was around 9 or 10 but I can't remember where I heard that number.
 
As far as i know we have no idea. If we do get new music I would expect it to come with the release of a new map.

Yeah, that makes sense, I was just wondering if we already knew about anything haha. And I'd totally be down with that!
 
So ranked is gonna have completely new modes, huh? Neat. I really like turf war though, it's quite great. Wish we got a ranked version of that, too.
 
The Aerosprays (Rank 7 + Boss 3 defeated in SP) are by far the best weapons for those looking to generate experience points quickly. Paint the world indeed.

Blaster is still my baby though.

I'd pay the full price of the game for Naganuma DLC. Just ask my username...
 
That would be unreal.

I'm digging the trains in the background. Today I noticed the moving traffic in the background on Urchin Underpass, pretty damn cool detailing for something you'll almost never notice.

Yeah I've (briefly) glanced at the outside-arena areas and theyre pretty neat. The outside of the mall reminds me of the Onett stage in Smash Bros.

New gun
 
This is the best place to start when you're on skatepark with anything but a roller

From that ledge you can lay defensive paint in your own half, coat the half pipes to the right, immediately fight attackers from above and segue straight for their side of the map. By the time you've done the first two things your special will be ready..

Gaining the same position in your enemies territory is devastating. The only counter I've seen work well on me is a home-based charger taking me out if I get too lax up there.

Its just turned 1am here... where the hell did my Sunday go?
 
What is this? I come home from work and my boyfriend has leveled my inkling up to 12!

This game is crack confirmed. The guy gave up frustrated within 10min the first time I tried to get him to try the local multiplayer with me.
I had to had a stern talk with him, explaining that games are for fun, and discovered that he kept holding the A button to move, since the only over game he ever plays is Mario Kart.
Seems the game turned him around completely though, success!
 
Aerospray is so good, but I really have issues against people using the jet squelcher.

I'm slowly figuring out how to deal with the aerospray, but it's really tough. Especially against a bunch of people using it.

But yea, I just try and use my better range to my advantage.
 
I think turf war is too volatile for ranked. Most games are decided in the final minute. You can be losing the entire match, get a quad and win the game.

Splat zones seems designed for ranked with the way you win (holding a point(s) the longest vs a mad rush in the final minute.)
 
Can I get a Gaf member on my friends list to try the friend game? Matchmaking isnt working for me :-(



My NNID is gummisaurus
 
I find myself losing to lag more than anything else. Getting randomly splatted by a Kraken that's looks like it's nowhere near me is super annoying!
 
Any GAF rooms going? My whole weekend has been playing Splatoon, reading the Splatoon OT, and browsing "dank maymays" on the Splatoon Miiverse.

I would say Send Help but, yeah.... No.

I'm interested in starting a new one

Need some Gaffers on my friends list though. If you're interested my ID is gummisaurus.
 
Krak-On Splat Roller

I agree that it's a great weapon. I'm most effective with either it, or-- believe it or not-- the Splattershot Jr. that they give you at the beginning of the game.

Granted I'm only level 12, I've still several more guns to unlock. But I've bought several of the ones I have unlocked, and each one has what seems to be a "fatal flaw" to me-- like a step backwards, where I'm simply not as effective.

One pleasant surprise for me has been how good some people are with the sniper rifles (er, "chargers"); especially in the warehouse level, I've played against snipers that were totally controlling that middle area in a superb fashion, and where I had to resort to huge amounts of guile just to get them off of the crates, much less splat them!
 
Just got paired up with 3 rollers vs a team with 3 golden guns. I thought we would get detstroyed, but then I went 13-1 with 1300 points ;)
 
Walleye Warehouse is definitely my favourite map in the game, followed by the Mall. I like Saltspray Rig and the skatepark well enough, but I don't really like Urchin Underpass (or whatever it's called, the E3 demo map!)
 
Aerospray gets me a ton of points every match despite my terrible k:d ratio. I might switch back to the old Junior just for the Bubble special.



Stay fresh, sheeple
Saw "Bush did 911" at the start of one of my matches on the skate park. Was laughing half the match.
