Walkman you're terrifying with that dual squelcher based on your K/Ds at the end, I'm glad you were always on my team lol

I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I have a question about the amount of bandwidth Splatoon uses. I only got the game the other day and when I played online my roommate complained that the internet went really slow for him, which doesn't happen with most other games. That isn't too bad (I can just play when he isn't around), but this got me thinking that because the game is constantly uploading/downloading the ink position data in addition to all of the player data, a single game of Splatoon must be using a huge amount of bandwidth.

We're on a fairly limited broadband plan and I just wanted to know if anyone had any data on roughly how many MB a standard match of splatoon uses (combined upload/download). If it's too high I may stop playing until we can afford a better internet deal. Thanks to anyone who has any information on this!

I've actually noticed this as well. I'm going to try and look at my bandwidth usage tomorrow after playing.

If you got more than one disconnect on ranked you should just stop for the time being it's not worth the loss in points, and the -10 points is the only way to insure that people don't just turn their wifi off when they are about to lose or have already lost and you can see that your points don't go up until the end of the results so it hasn't registered a win yet, it sucks when you really disconnect but it beats the alternative of no one ever losing points

No, I get it - but why should I lose the full 10 points if 3 people on my team disconnect or if I DC AFTER I already won?

If someone disconnects on your team before the match starts you only lose -1, I guess the game can't tell when someone disconnects mid match and the game also doesn't add your points until the end of the results screen so I'm guessing it doesn't register the points correctly until this time. It sucks I know but we can't do anything about it but they might change it in a patch so maybe it will get better and if it is as simple as the things I mentioned doesn't seem like it would be a hard thing to patch

Yeah, that at least should be patched in: just add a local check if you're winning at the time of your DC, or something, because no one who's about to win would turn the game off on purpose, so if you're winning you don't lose points for DC'ing.

Also, just like you disconnect if you're idle for a while, trigger a flag when someone from your team is idle for a while - and mark that as a missing player. If you lose that match then you lose less points. (Should fix all DC's before the 10 seconds remaining mark)

Shouldn't be too hard, I think these are just things that were overlook. Hire me Ninty.

even after all this time, I still prefer the splattershot jr

then again, I need to level up 5 more times before I unlock all weapons but I don't think anything will beat it

It's the only weapon I used in ranked once I hit B+ and I maxed my rank using it so it's definitely a great weapon to use, the bubbler and the splat bombs are also a really good load out

I probably wouldn't have noticed for a while if you didn't mention it, glad we got to share this moment

And yeah the splat bombs are great for pushing your enemy into a spot you want them and you would be surprised how many times I've gotten kills just throwing them
 
Shane used his damn kraken to cover ink with no enemies around, then leaves the upper area and dies in 10 sec and then jumps to me and I'm just standing there like if only there was something that made immune and could easily kill enemies
 
I just lost 8 match in a row. Incredible how shitty the matchmaking system of this game is. I dropped from A to A-.
Please do something Nintendo to make this less anoniying and frustrating...

I want to scream everytime I see this.
How would it even work.
How would the console even handle 4vs4 online splitscreen splat fests

I don't make games lol. If nintendo says it can't work, then it can't work. So until I hear that, I'm just throwing things out there.

Calm yo self ^^;

Come on, at A people know how to play - if you lost, there's some of your fault there.
Now if there's someone actually going against the team or if it's through disconnects, I get you. Other than that, it's really not the game's fault - this is what random is gonna get you.

If you always want to have a set team - that's the lobbies in august.
 
What's the verdict on the Zapper gun? I like it a lot (echolocatior rules the school) and I feel like I get decent ink coverage, but sometimes I run into someone else with another assault-rifle type and just sort of die.


Maybe I just have to get good, hahaha
