Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

Does anyone have a reasonable strategy for splat zone ranked on Saltspray Rig? Particularly when trying to retake the point from an entrenched team? I've realized that all my upfront hate for splat zones was because that was the map I played (and lost) my first five times out. Other maps made me appreciate the mode, but that map...I fucking hate it right now.

Went from a five game win streak on port mackerel to a five game losing streak on the rig. Come to think of it, I've never won a ranked game there.
 
FWIW, regarding gaming, the big difference with wired compared to WiFi is that wired is full duplex (it can send and receive at the same time).

That makes sense. I'll try it out tonight in game and see if it makes a difference.

Have I added you, guys? I would like to play with you.

Maybe, I haven't looked at my friend's requests lately becuase I'm currently full. But when I get back on, I'll see if I can get rid of anyone who hasn't been using their WiiU in awhile so we can play together. Stupid 100 person limit.

What is your NNID? Mine is my username.
 
Congrats. Because of you guys, I threw my gamepad in anger and gave up. I don't think this game is for me. I tried every weapons and still get raped. It feels like that I can't learn to be any better.
 
Nope, done, not dealing with that lag anymore. Haven't dealt with so much bs at the same time since Gears 2. Gonna join randoms.

If you have a beacon, set it up near the crates up top so your team has a way to get through if you lose control. Climb up to the other team's perch when you retake it. Seemed to work pretty well for me after losing my first two rounds there.

U-um guys

Pardon my Google Translate but... According to this there's... official Ika Musume stuff coming in a free update?

Niiiice.

Oh man, sorry to hear that. I was also really bad at the start (and I'm not great now either), you really gotta go and train against randoms and check out the paths and such. Mobility is a huge part in controlling the weps. I'll only go against Gaf when I'm at a more reasonable skill level.

Inkstrike their snipers off the perches, then cover all the perches to make it harder to get back up.
 
My weapon progression thus far: Roller -> Aerospray -> Gal -> Pro. Guess chargers are in my near future.

I do feel a call to return to the roller though. Kraken is so fun and easy. But then I think of all the situations where a gun is more versatile.
 
Hey, does anyone know if the credits music of Splatoon means anything in Japanese? It doesn't sound particularly Japanese, but the chorus keeps repeating something that sounds like "ni hana," which means two flowers if I remember my high school Japanese. It strikes me that this could be a metaphor for Callie and Marie themselves.

Feltrol is my NNID. Adding you! :)

I was under the impression it's a purely made-up language, like my secret tits language

Thanks for the advice. Once I get calmed down, I'll rejoin.

For that to be usable, you'd have to vary the length of the tits. So "tits" could be the letter A, "tiits" could be B, maybe "titssssssssssssss" is Y or something.

I don't usually use a kit with the beacon or inkstrikes, but I'll have to mix it up and give it a try.

My kingdom to be able to see what map was going to be played, and swap kits before it loads. Or even an optional switch after being splatted, like almost every other kit based shooter.

I think they could just allow weapon switching in the game itself, like, you can swap the gamepad's screen for your weapon kits. Wouldn't take up a LOT of time, I ink.

Are there going to be more game modes for ranked matches later?

So far, two more.
 
It'd be kind of shitty if it didn't. Even though Squid Girl is a niche series here, it did get localized for western audiences. Plus it'd mean more people running around in exclusive outfits that would be region locked this time.

I can think of more than a few collabs for online games in Japan that never make it overseas because of licensing issues. I've never heard of "Squid Girl" but a quick look at Wikipedia shows it's held by 3 different companies in the west (NA, AUS, UK). It's possible, but I'm not holding my breath.

EDIT: However, we do play on the same servers as the Japanese... so I don't know how their costumes will show up if there IS a licensing issue. Maybe they've already worked everything out.
 
145k copies sold in japan :O
I remember people saying it was going to bomb really hard lol

Because those people were the types who only believe their own tastes represent what the industry will follow. Seriously...none of that talk EVER made sense given how hard the Splatoon demo overtook the E3 audience. It sidetracked every single attendee and had them crowding through the line forever!

But you know, blind egotists in shooter conversations are gonna be certain they know whats best for the genre lol. Has to hurt the bro folks that Splatoon which is about as unbro as it gets in presentation is a hit because it does what the genre needed in so many areas. Movement, ability to reinsert to the action, customization, collecting, speed, ability to tell where the opponent is, subweapons and supers...

Its almost like other shooters were just trying to copy each other rather than admit that the gameplay had faults that needed addressed lol.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! :D
 
Oh, I didn't know you spoke my language. A long-lost cousin from ancient Hyperborea?

We strike at dawn

Yes definitely... wait a second, I don't recall any Neiteio's in Hyperborea!!! Are you sure you're a real Hyperboreian?
lmao

Basketball map/mode confirmed.

Oh my god that'd be amazing. I don't know how many time I spent playing Pyro Dodgeball but it was way more than I'm proud to admit. I'd love some sort of 'mini-game' modes.
