I've had comm errors and some lag
I'm wired by the way

This is very true. Not saying that it's not fair, just seems a little off.
Also possible, but I've had friends from all over with different internet connections have this happen to them too. I'll have to try the game with the hardwired connections, but these occurrences are few and far in between.
Baffling was a poor choice of words, I suppose. I actually find it somewhat funny (and just a little frustrating) to see ink being rolled out by itself with no person behind it. I don't have a proper comparison for how this would work in a more "typical" online game.

My closest game in a while:
A tenth of a percentage point!
Taking a break, though. At the moment my girlfriend's cousin is playing Turf Wars using my account. She's a beginner at TPSes (and video games) in general, but loves the roller. And I'm getting money/equipment experience!

I find it hard to believe you don't notice the large amount of double kills which is down to latency.
I do dawg
In most modern PC games I've played either this strange behavior happens or the game itself is paused (SC2 or something like that) depending on the situation. I think the Wii U's questionable wifi capabilities combined with immature netcode and loose (in a global and ping filter sense) matchmaking lead to more noticeable lag though.
Then I pray RNGesus gives me you at some point as I am going back to C+ at this rate.
Ugh, B- at 10 Rank Only...might aswell get ready for the C+

I was on a winstreak in ranked, but then I lost once and got scared. ):
I'm still only at C+. At least I levelled up to 19 relatively quickly due to getting 2500 points each win.

Are duders more durable when they're preparing an inkstrike? I swear I shot some guy twice point blank with the Blaster and he survived long enough to set off a strike and gun me down.
Getting increasingly frustrated with Ranked. Not that I'm doing so hot myself, but there are people sitting at the bottom with 0 kills and 7 deaths. Consistently. Also for some reason today's been the absolute worst for matchmaking. I ended up sitting in a completely full lobby waiting 3 minutes until the timer ran out for whatever reason. I keep trying because I just want to make it to level 18 for the E-Liter but at this rate it'd be better to just grind in Turf Wars for a bit. At least there it's not all-or-nothing based primarily on getting lucky with teammates. :/

Whine whine grumble grumble
So my experience with ranking up.
C- to C: Not too hard. Everyone is learning the mode. Some are playing like it's Turf War lol.
C to C+: Not too hard.
C+ to B-: Game, why are you giving me all of the C- players for my team?
B- to B: What are you doing team?
B to B+: Fun close games that could go either way with the occasional "what are you doing teammate".
B+ to A-: I love you team.
I only lost one game going from B+ to A- and that was a close game that we lost cause we pushed in too hard lol.

Splatoon got close to 100% sell-through in Japan, nice.
Sorry, have to take a break for a couple days, no chance of that haha
Nah. Just lots of money.

Once they touch the screen the airstrike always goes down, no matter how fast you killed him.
Don't worry, i'll be waiting in the low ranks for you at this rate.
I mean, not that i'm that good at the game myself, but damn, I atleast try to play the damn objective even when I can't get kills!
Yup. I put off having a Bath until I was B rank when I was 80 points through B-...5 hours later and i'm 70 at C+ and I just give up.
Gonna take a bath and recharge.

If I gave 2 ink saver perks would that help with the horrible ink consumption of the splattershot pro?

Ah. It's such a drastic difference that I thought it was 60. Well it's MUCH better than before so it's a welcome change.
I wish people would be more patient on Splat Zones.
On Arowana Mall, it's a pretty common tactic to go down the side path. Now when I get to the end of the path, I can see a Charger's tracer line literally aiming at the opening of the corridor (I even turned the camera round to look at them). As long as the Charger's waiting for me, they're not shooting anyone else, so I thought I'll just wait there.
Now, I get the indicator that someone's going to super jump to me (some idiot who's already died once probably) and I'm just hoping he doesn't go forward right away.
Nope. He goes forward and gets blown away instantly. At least it meant I got the sniper but jeez, it was so fucking predictable.

Voted for Prepare to Dye Edition. Wish I had suggested my "Inkstrikes over Inkopolis" beforehand. :lol

Yeah it's nice, you could really feel the difference coming out of a match before, now you can't.

Fixed that for you lol
Has anyone heard about any modding/hacking or anything going on in the game? Just curious, played a game in Turf War just now and a guy called in like 10 Inkstrikes within the time of the match, covering two matches. He was on my team both times, so it was easy wins and all, but I was like...there's no way that should be possible, right? I don't think I've seen more than 4 from a single person in a single match. He left that lobby after the two matches, though, so I was thankfully not on the receiving end of that.

Are there any sneakers that have the ninja ability? I have the sweater but want to use a different top
This is where I am now. It's so frustrating. Points going up and down, up and down.
No. Ninja Squid is a clothes ability only.
There may have been more than one player with Inkstrike. That said, with the Aerospray, I have been known to get up to six in a match, so it isn't impossible if his gear was tailored for it.
Walls Don't Count is winning lmao.
Headgear: Opening Gambit, Last-Ditch Effort, Tenacity, Comeback
Clothing: Cold Blooded, Ninja Squid, Haunt, Recon
Shoes: Bomb Sniffer, Ink Resistance Up, Stealth Jump
It's only on Clothing. Here is the list of unique abilities.
Headgear: Opening Gambit, Last-Ditch Effort, Tenacity, Comeback
Clothing: Cold Blooded, Ninja Squid, Haunt, Recon
Shoes: Bomb Sniffer, Ink Resistance Up, Stealth Jump
I need to get gear with that and the two Ninja abilities, then just chill in the zone all game and sneak up on anyone who tries to take it.

I'm voting for "I See An Orange Door and I Want It Painted Blue"
I feel like you could probably for the entire song, hahaha.

That is not latency.
I think the game is designed that way plus the weapons are not hitscan, so obviously you can have double kills.
In cod, you can use your grenade launcher and an enemy at the same time and kill eachother.
Dude, are you comparing SC2, I am assuming starcraft to a shooter?
You want the game paused for everyone, until the net catches up? Really?
I am not sure what you mean by the above in bold. Lag happens no matter if it is wifi or ethernet.
Lag happens in BF/COD on pc alllllllll the time. Ever got shot and you go around a corner and die? that is lag.

Aerospray coupled with some equipment that boosts special gauge fill rate can let you call in an incredible number of inkstrikes per match as long as you're constantly painting (super easy if you stay on high ground in a contested area and keep inking over enemy ink). With just 2 players on a team using Aerospray I've been on the receiving end of a near constant stream of inkstrikes to try and clear up before.

Guess we know where all the Japanese people are coming from.
And a comparison to other Wii U First Weeks:
Also, Nintendo Life has an interview up: Interview: Splatoon Producer Hisashi Nogami on Claiming New Territory for Wii U
As long as he doesn't die (or dies after using the inkstrike), I think it should be possible. He could also have gear built around it. Tenacity helps quite a bit if your teammates are constantly dying.
I didn't say I wanted that stuff to happen, I quoted a guy who said he was unfamiliar with how lag was handled.
I've been super impressed with the balancing in the game-- with the sole exception of that damned Aerospray gun... I swear, 3/4 (if not more) of the times I get splatted, it's by someone using that weapon. People with that weapon are almost always at the top of the score sheet too.

Omg, I didn't realize w101 did that horrible.
Wow, really? So 10ish in one match is something that's legit doable? Damn, that's crazy. It was so quick between each strike that I thought something had to be up. Glad he was on my side those two times then, I guess.
