Support NeoGAF

[Danthrax]

Been playing randoms in unranked. Haven't won a game in like hours. It's so disheartening. I'm sure it's my fault each time.

 

[Blunoise]

Rank is no joke! You either win or lose got damn this is intense

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Finally charger + shield feels like i can support my team well, wish the matches were longer though

 

[shadowkat]

Not keen on the Zapper :/

Looks great though.


Yeah, it comes up.

Yeah, I'm not fond of the zapper. Back to the .52 Gal Deco.

New map has only come up a couple of times.

 

[Chezzymann]

I feel like shield is the best special in ranked

 

[EndlessSky]

Lol, my team was at 42 seconds left with a +36, and the enemy team was at a 43 with a +40. Dunno ow these pluses fork, but they got screwed.

 

[Merc_]

Damn, the zapper is pretty great.

Also, the blaster is great in ranked mode.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Goddamn this one team was like a machine, they all had bubbles and used them together at the strategic times and had strategies like perching on high grounds by the entrance. I have no idea how they were this prepared considering the mode just came out lol

Could be possible that they are a team and just have some voice chat program going on from a laptop or something.

 

[Brookshi]

Ranked is so damn fun!

 

[serenewarfare]

The idea of ranked is kind of flawed. You are completely dependent on the performance of your teammates, yet have your own matchmaking grade. So in the end, it doesn't matter how good you as individual player are if you are playing with morons.

It isn't good for my heart that's for sure haha

Maybe the devs decided to drop by for this modes launch and slay us noobs.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Had the worst team of japanese people on ranked battle. Thanks shitty randomiser.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Is the new gun like the blaster?

 

[Neiteio]

When you use the bubbler near teammates, they get bubbles, as well. Maybe that's what you saw.

 

[Busaiku]

C Rank, yay.

 

[random25]

Damn...I hope I can join the fun right now (damn work lol).

Excited to try that new mode. Looks like it's the new favorite.

Don't think like that D:

 

[Einbroch]

Can you queue up for ranked as a team or is it solo only?

 

[SmithnCo]

2100 moneys for 100 seconds of work.

 

[elostyle]

I am not sure anybody will ever be anything but a C- the way this works

 

[arimanius]

Solo only and it's really hit or miss on teammates.

 

[Crayolan]

Holy shit splat zones are hectic. Suddenly the dynamo roller and inkzooka are very, very good.

 

[Busaiku]

Inkstrike so good.

 

[Danthrax]

Just lost again. Don't even remember what the victory music sounds like.

 

[Einbroch]

Solo only and it's really hit or miss on teammates.

Phew, good.

 

[Revolutionary]

I have yet to see a Roller in Ranked.

I saw two on my team. We lost. Badly.

 

[Javier]

Back to Turf Wars for me. Ranked is brutal when you're Lv.10

 

[-Horizon-]

I am not sure anybody will ever be anything but a C- the way this works

Well my record for ranked so far is: W-L-L-W

So basically its like I only won once lol

 

[Beelzebufo]

Just lost again. Don't even remember what the victory music sounds like.

It's time to stop playing lol. Take a break!

 

[Mesoian]

People who thought they were good with the squelsher are on notice in this new mode.

 

[Danthrax]

Don't think like that D:

Well when I get less than 400 points and like a 2:7 KDR...

It's like everyone is getting better at this game faster than me. I was really good in the Testfires.

 

[MajorMane]

Kept getting put into games with kids with zappers on my teams and them doing awful, so I thought the gun was bad.

Try it out.

Those kids were just bad.

 

[UncleSporky]

You know what.

For amiibo supposedly being completely impossible to find, I'm sure seeing a ton of people with amiibo costumes. In the plaza it seems like maybe 15-25% of people have it, and those are just the people who have a) done some of the amiibo content and b) like the gear well enough to wear it.

 

[Timeaisis]

Sneaking up on a charger on saltspray...good stuff.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I am not sure anybody will ever be anything but a C- the way this works

I disagree, I've personally seen in the short time I've played Turf Wars in Splatoon the strategy and playstyle has evolved. Even as I'm playing and experimenting with different weapons and stages what strategies work best.

 

[Danthrax]

It's time to stop playing lol. Take a break!

I've been playing less than two hours for all of today. =/

 

[Baliis]

I am not sure anybody will ever be anything but a C- the way this works

I'm already a C, so nope. Also, I think you get more knockout bonus as you rank up, I got 1600 instead of 1300 last match?

 

[Beelzebufo]

I've been playing less than two hours for all of today. =/

Hmm. Maybe it's just a bad day

 

[Totakeke]

I thought being consistently the top killer on a team in Turf War would help me win splatzones a lot easier. I thought wrong.

 

[Solobbos]

My team mates tried to cover most ground in the whole map. We lost like 98-0

 

[SirUltimos]

Well I just got demolished several games in a row in ranked. Ouch!

 

[Chezzymann]

One more win until C

 

[SmithnCo]

My team mates tried to cover most ground in the whole map. We lost like 98-0

lol

 

[DaBoss]

My initial impressions are not very positive. I see absolutely no reason to use anything other than an Aerospray RG in this mode. It has Inkstrike which is pretty much needed, really fast ground coverage, and a great rate of fire since most of the combat is close quarters, it will most likely win out. I don't see how rollers can be of any help either. Maybe it is just the teams I was in and against, I don't know.

I'm at C Rank now with 25 points and 10 of the points I lost was because I had a situation where 2 people disconnected so it became 2vs4. Very fun...

EDIT: I was using a Splattershot Pro, if that matters. I also was first for the most part with 1 second place finish and 1 third place finish.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

People complaining about bad teammates; I wonder how it would be with no level 10 gate.

 

[Waylon Drums]

Its really weird they locked a bunch of on disc content for only 3 days.

I'd love to know how much is on there. Probably not much but it's such a weird thing to do in the first place.

 

[Rappy]

Huh, I haven't lost yet, but didn't the Splatoon Direct say you were scored based on your own performance? You just won't be able to the extra bonus. But I guess if your team still sucks then they can bog your own performance down too. Need to rewatch to confirm. How many points towards rank do you get if you lose?

 

[princemarth23]

C rank awww yeah. Super fun mode.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

I feel like shield is the best special in ranked

Too bad it's paired with a weak weapon (splatshoot jr.) when up close and personal. I just might have to switch to aerospray for ranked, I'm holding my own but maybe the blaster + bubbler would be better.
