I played for the first time online today, and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. But does the game have any means of sorting teams based on their skill levels? It didn't seem right that one team had three level 6 players, while the other had three level 20 players.

nah it's random. if you stay in the same room the teams will switch after every match.

When you rank up and get in lobbies where everyone is B+ and up, you start having very interesting matches. You don't see as many knockouts and you see better cooperation.

I don't think it's possible in regular battle. The level isn't really a direct measure of skill though. It's more of a measure of how long you've been playing.

My excuse for not trying other weapons in Splatoon is I don't have the money. When the clothes stop coming in I end up playing less so I don't exactly earn enough to try anything out.

Plus I really enjoy the .96 Gal.

As for platoon today just one 1* shirt, a 2* shirt and a pair of 2* shoes. I was crazy enough to bring shoes with bomb sniffer to a splat zone (as I needed a little more to max them). Thankfully there was a someone using mines so I could trigger all their mines in safety. That is if fucking lag didn't take 10 minutes to register the paint :( On the other hand I think the same lag meant I could wipe them from their hiding spot before they even knew I had echolocate. Or maybe that is just how it plays in C rank.

I read that there is a sunken scroll that
has an overview of all the colors.
I would be super grateful if someone could find a picture of it and PM it to me.

Since others might be interested.
It is scroll 7 I believe you are talking about. 37 seconds into this video:

Nope. I think it'd be nice, but turf wars is more of a casual mode, and it's really difficult to measure anybody by skill in turf wars. Turf wars isn't like death match of any other game.

Someone might have a high k/d, but maybe they lose every match or have the lowest score cause they're busy camping for easy kills,. Someone might have a terrible k/d, but have the most points because they are constantly focusing on painting. Or maybe someone is just so skilled at defending by walling people out of important areas that he can't get any painting done and he ends up with a low k/d, low point score, but high amount of wins.

Oh my point wasn't to compare Halo 5 specifically, just how people blindly defend Nintendo products when those same people shit on other companies for practices that Nintendo is now adopting to their business models.

I've been exposed! lol, nah but the dude owns 3DS's in the DOUBLE DIGITS. Anyone who owns over 10 3DS's is a Nintendo fanboy/fangirl lmfao

Isn't that why people bring up tf2? Valve did the same thing but I don't hear much complaints about the game when they use to charge for it.

I know people who owned close to 10 xbox 360, but I wouldn't just call them fanboys/girls. Personally if my console failed me the first time, there's a small chance I would buy another one.

I knew it switched, I just hoped that it would try and even teams out a bit when picking who goes where.

Well the higher the level you are the more skills your gear has, plus there's greater experience. I spend some matches just trying to figure out what the hell killed me.

There is nothing, NOTHING, I hate more than swiveling the stick and triggering a super instead of getting the correct view in a skirmish. Why can't I map supers to the shoulder buttons?

That feel when people who were getting bodied on your team shuffle places and suddenly consistently become a pain in your ass.

I enjoy it the way it is thank you very much. Nothing like beating a team 80%-15% after losing 5 straight in ranked.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. You get better gear from the shops as your level goes up.

when do we usually get the info for the next weapon/map/game mode?
Click to expand...

IIRC, we found out about the zapper/map and inkbrush on the same day they were released.

I do hope they add, at least, a little something every week. 2 weeks would be too long of a wait for me.

TF2 standalone was 20 bucks and for Splatoon's EU price you'd get the entire Orange Box while US gets boned
for once
, so that comparison doesn't quite cut it. That said I don't see what's really there to discuss - either Splatoon's value proposition is appealing to you or it isn't. Either standpoint is fair because it's entirely subjective.

If we had an Evolve situation on our hands, with a content-light base game and assloads of costly DLC being announced even before release it'd be entirely different, but that's not the case at all. Nintendo is essentially dipping their toes into the games-as-a-service model, in an expectedly odd fashion, but there's no ripoff attempts as the entirety of the content is going to be free.

And get that "fanboy" shit outta here.

Anyone over the 100 hour playtime mark? I'm at 72:04 / 105 times played. I don't think I've played this much of one game since Civ 3.

Forgot to ask you guys, is there a way to cancel your special specifically the inkzooka, I don't normally use it but in the session we just had there were plenty of times I used the inkzooka to kill one or two enemies and succeeded on the first shot then I'm stuck having to wait for the timer to go down and just keep shooting when I know the aerospray could cover way more ground in that time

My pixelartist friend that is working with me on a game did this for splatoon:

He did this from only playing 2 hours at my home, he liked it a lot so decided to do it.

OK, did anyone else see that player named amare just flop around without a single clue those matches? Disconnect, lag spike or intentional team sabotage?

Your mistake here is thinking he bought new consoles because they failed.
