although i think i've proven a few times in our games that aerospray can take chargers, no? sometimes even head-on

Oh yeah they definitely can take them. I just much prefer a team of Aerosprays to team of just about anything else.

 

[Kouriozan]

Damn I knew I would get com error.

The game just docked me 38 points in Ranked mode for a connection error. Nice, Nintendo.

Anyone got any semi-dependable strategies for Splat Zones? I can't find one which works for me. The best is just sneaking around killing people and hoping my teammates claim the zone in the meantime, but my aim isn't really consistent enough for it to be a serious viable strategy.

Well, YMMV, but for WallEye Warehouse, I set it up so that I can do a quick hit and run to the front of their base whenever we are in control of the 'zones. This delays other team as they have to re-ink to get out.

 

[phanphare]

and that, as much as anything else, led to my inking problem

 

[Regiruler]

Am I the only one that likes Splattetshot Pro? I haven't reached the Gold Gun yet but still this works really good. The only problem I see is the low tank, as it empties after a few hits but other than that it's cool. Great range, does nice damage and the Inkstrike+bomb are great special weapons.

I really liked my time with it. Then again I have a tendency to use ink-inefficient weapons.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm coming Xeteh, I need my level 15 *-*

Has anyone posted this? Just saw it on r/splatoon. Did not know this at all.

There's also and audio cue when you're filling up and you're able to use your secondary. Nice little touches that may often go overlooked.

Now todays splatoon twitter updates

いよいよ本日午前11時から「ガチマッチ」のスタートだ！ ランク10以上で腕自慢のプレイヤーは是非挑戦して欲しい！ だが、「ナワバリバトル」で通用したブキや戦法が「ガチエリア」で通用するとは限らない！ 心してかかれ！ イヤッホウ！

Finally today it's the start of the morning from 11 o'clock "Gachimatchi"! Rank more than 10 in the arms boast players certainly want to challenge! But, it is not necessarily the-class in "Nawabaribatoru" weapons and tactics that were-class in the "Gachieria"! Kokoroshite and Kakare! Iyahhou!

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/605552909154054144

「ガチマッチ」のルールをちょっと詳しく解説しておこう。 ・ガチマッチはチームの勝敗でポイントが入る。塗った量は関係無い。 ・ノックアウト勝ちならさらに勝利ボーナスが増える。 ・ノックアウト負けは獲得ポイントが０になってしまう。

The rules of "Gachimatchi" Let me explain a little more detail. · Gachimatchi point enters in the outcome of the team. The amount that is painted is no relationship. • The knockout win if further victory bonus increases. Knockout defeat earn points becomes 0.

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/605677035801833472

次に「ウデマエ」についても説明しておく。
・ウデマエはチームの勝敗で変動する。
・どんなメンバーとでもより多くチームを勝利に導いている人＝ウデマエが高い人。
・自分のウデマエが高いほど勝利ボーナスのポイントが大きくなる。

Then it leaves also describes "skill".
· Prowess varies in victory or defeat of the team.
• What members have led to many victories the team than even the people = skill is high people.
- Your skill the higher the point of victory bonus increases.

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/605677167465226240

そして「ガチエリア」の説明だ。 ・1～2個あるエリアを確保してカウント0になるまで守り抜いたチームの勝ち。 ・エリア内を一定割合塗ると確保。 ・全エリア確保でカウントダウン開始。 ・相手に確保されたエリアを一定割合塗り返すと中立状態に。 ・さらに塗り返すと取り返して確保できる。

And it's described in the "Gachieria". · 1-2 is winning team is defended until the count 0 by securing the area. Securing and the area within the paint a certain percentage. Countdown starts in all areas ensure. • The reserved area in the neutral state return a certain percentage painted the opponent. - Further coated returned and can be secured by repossession.

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/605677277653823488

ここからは少し込み入ったルールだ。 ・相手にエリアを取り返されるとペナルティポイントが付く。 ・ペナルティポイントを0にするまで通常のカウントは減らない。 ・確保していた時間が長いほど受けるペナルティポイントは大きくなる。 ・一度確保したエリアは奪われないよう全力で守るべし！

It's a little complicated rule from here. · When Torikaesa the area to the other penalty points stick. - A normal count is not reduced until the penalty point to 0. Penalty points which time it had been secured receives longer increases. • Once the reserved area is shalt protect at best to not deprived!

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/605677430972387328

・制限時間は5分間。 ・決着がつかなければカウントを多く減らしたチームの判定勝ち。 ・ペナルティポイントは判定に含まれない。 ・負けているチームがエリアを確保している間は延長戦。 ・逆転するか、エリアを奪われるか、10秒間カウントストップで終了。 ・最後まで諦めずに闘うべし！

- Time limit is 5 minutes. · Conclusion is winning a decision of the team that reduced many to count unless stick. Penalty points are not included in the determination. · Overtime while losing to teams has secured the area. · You can reverse, or is deprived of the area, completed in 10 seconds count stop. - Until the end shalt fight without giving up!

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

Has anyone put together a resource of what abilities can roll on what?

Like I'm pretty sure Ink Resistance Up is unique to shoes and has to be the main slot correct?

As I start to realize how good these unique abilities can be I'd like to figure out the configuration I want to shoot for. Like if Stealth Jump and Ink Resistance Up are both main shoe slot exclusive or something.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Sendou on the Sniper tower in skatepark is fucking disgusting...

 

[Vampirolol]

Shame on me. Just did a rage quit, the first since I was a kid... I'm sorry but I can't stand splat zones when the team think it's turf war. KILL THE ENEMIES.

 

[Kouriozan]

+2600 pts? Wow.

 

[twothunder]

Damn I knew I would get com error.

Yup. Same with me. You know it's coming usually.

 

[Qurupeke]

I like it but I don't use it because I can't stand the small tank. It ruins the gun for me.

I had that problem too at first but I realized it didn't really matter. When you ink, if you shoot at a distance you can easily replenish the tank fast so it doesn't really make a difference if you're careful. When you attack an opponent, unless it's a charger you should take them down from a distance. You should have enough space to retreat and replenish the ink. It's quite a different philosophy of many other weapons, but from my experience it works good. Especially the fact that people don't really expect you to reach them and you manage to defeat them, at their surprise.

 

[Kouriozan]

Starting to think I'm the one bugging out those lobbies :x
8th players also took long to come.

 

[Linius]

Thinking of trading in Witcher for this. Getting tired of waiting for that game to be patched and should have bought this first instead.

What say u GAF?

Just keep both. I bought The Witcher on launch and dipped in a couple of hours. Only to realize that it's not so smart to invest too much time in a game like that with my exams coming up. So now I just switch between Splatoon and project Cars if I want some distraction from studying.

Splatoon is pretty cheap anyways.

 

[Timeaisis]

I just realized Booyah Base -> bouillabaisse

lol oh game.

 

[jmizzal]

Shame on me. Just did a rage quit, the first since I was a kid... I'm sorry but I can't stand splat zones when the team think it's turf war. KILL THE ENEMIES.

Are you sure they are not just building up their special? I try to build up my airstrike in splatzones.

Its a good strategy but would be better with voice chat, so some teammates go forward and others build up to clear the zone

 

[pinkurocket]

Having completed the SP, I can also join with saying how incredible that final boss was. Awesome all around and quite a challenge.

 

[WALKMAN04]

Just won a 3 on 4 ranked match with all B ranks, felt so good

 

[abstract alien]

I just realized Booyah Base -> bouillabaisse

lol oh game.

Ha, I was telling a friend that and he thought I was reading too much into it. No we are not! Totally on purpose lol

 

[Kouriozan]

Another laggy match and 2 DC.

 

[Xeteh]

Restarted Splatoon and then I joined on Kouriozan no problem. Weird.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Finally came in first in a Turf War. I've been making it a habit to chuck a sprinkler in random spots from safe areas.

 

[Gizuko]

Wow. I can't even...

 

[Regiruler]

Finally came in first in a Turf War. I've been making it a habit to chuck a sprinkler in random spots from safe areas.

It's great for building special.

 

[Dragoshi1]

In the past 3 hours I did about 15 matches, and I'm not really having a good time.

I either wind up in a match with an entire team of rollers on my side or the enemy's, or I wind up in a match where my team is short 2 people, so it winds up being 2v4, which is next to impossible to win.


I also find myself dying to stupid stuff, like putting down an ink wall, only for a roller to squash me through it, and the roller coming out unscathed, or me jumping over an ink roller successfully, only to somehow still get squashed.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ah, much better, it wasn't me phew.

 

[Vampirolol]

Are you sure they are not just building up their special? I try to build up my airstrike in splatzones.

I did that too, in fact I deserve only shame lol. But the truth is that today I played an entire match thinking that the Tornado didn't work on the touch screen, while instead I had switched weapon and powerup... that moment I should have realized that I'm too tired to play.

 

[Tempy]

 

[GustyGardens]

Every time I see a Miiverse post, posted on here my instinct is to Yeah! it. Nintendo, what have you done to me?!

 

[Effect]

For those interested GiantBomb finished their review.

[Violet_0]

I'm holding the enemy Mall corridor like a boss in ranked every game

that's it, against randoms. Gaf would probably destroy me. Still, the map is much better with the additional platforms

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Alright, time for me to go beat the campaign before I get back into Turf Wars.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I played a ranked match in the mall and the stage had some extra platforms. Are all stages slightly revised for ranked?

Can you also for example buy 3 upgrades from spyke and the reset with judd?

You can buy as many as you can afford going by this post:

The Judd glitch is awesome. He just gave me 151400 coins, after I upgraded slots to my Amiibo gear. Going to add slots to some cool looking one star items to have 'em available later.

Of course, the more you spend the bigger the loss if you mess up (like forget to get the vibe up or have already claimed that vibe tier for that map rotation or worst still leave it too late and the stages re-rotate before you can reach Judd).

Edit: You don't have to wait until level 20 to take advantage of the glitch:

This also works for buying something from Spyke, not just slots!

 

[phanphare]

lol, nice

Be patient and dont be too eager to get into firefights. I've considerably gotten better and started winning more as I started to play cautiously. I have no problems squidding away from trouble and then come back later to ink more turf.

Also be aware of your surroundings. If you're putting down ink walls, scan our immediate area and then put it down after you know you're safe. Otherwise just squid away to someplace safe and come back later.

If its a 2v4, just keep running away and ink. Dont even bother to get into fights unless you have the upper hand.

 

[Busaiku]

Got a decent set with Ink Saver Main, Ninja Squid, and Ink Resistance Up.
Headphones, T-Sheort, Red Hi-Tops. Liking the look.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Finally got far enough in the story to get the aerospray and it suckss. Back to jr

 

[abstract alien]

I still have no idea how the scoring works

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah it's sooooooo weak, you can kill anything with it.

 

[Zing]

I switch between this and the .59 custom (or whatever it's called... It's the custom with jewels all around it). The range is hilariously long. It's fun to watch splattershot jr and aerospray users try to outreach reach me.

+2600 pts? Wow.

I'm rank B- and this is what I get every time.

 

[GustyGardens]

How are some of you getting Snails? I thought you could only obtain them through the Splatfest events? I'd like to add extra slots and re-roll my ability on some of my gear.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Yeah, I think Ranked mode is bullshit. Just not fun and too reliant on your team actually knowing the difference between the unranked and ranked modes.

I find it much more fun than Turf Wars. Everyone plays in the same area, there are more encounters and more strategy.

It's definitely less suitable for casual matches, but I can see a big competitive potential.

 

[Sendou]

Hit Lvl 20 and you can buy them for 30K.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Except someone with a bubbler up

Nah dude, there's way less strategy. You just go to the same area.

 

[Mesoian]

This person is drunk.

Except someone with a bubbler up

I used the aerospray to push someone with a bubbler off the edge the other day.

AeroSpray MG is the best weapon in the game.

When the Zapper gets a better secondary set, it will probably take that spot.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Ha, I was telling a friend that and he thought I was reading too much into it. No we are not! Totally on purpose lol

If you think the name of something in Splatoon is a pun... 99.9% of the time it is one.

The name of the damn game is a pun.

 

[Xeteh]

Communications error. So frustrating, we were making a comeback too. Oh well, gonna get something to eat.

 

[Kouriozan]

Got my first FPS drop at the skatepark.
And a f*cking com error when the match was over
