I bought Splatoon last night because it just looks too damn fun.

However the motion controls are abit difficult for me to cope with. Is it just a matter of getting used to it or should I just turn of gyro?

I'd say give it a chance, play around with some sensitivities. If you don't like it after an hour so, just go dual stick.

Imma switch, 96 fire rate is killing me

On behalf of me and my sister, thanks for the matches tonight, GAF! The game is at its best when there are full GAF rooms like this :3 See you guys tomorrow \o/

I just turned them off and did much better. Typically I'm a huge supporter of motion controls but only one axis of motion was just too weird

Though walls don't count, if you have a moment to spare, ink walls that provide access to higher ground. Just do it in a manner where you are not wasting too much time on such side tasks. Even if you don't intend to go up immediately, your teammates would appreciate the newly available path. Also, you want to keep as many possibilities as possible open, cause you never know when you or your teammates may need to make a desperate escape from danger.

For chargers, don't charge every shot. Rapid-fire to quickly ink tight areas, while squiding forward often to replenish your ink. Keep your eye peeled for opportunities to blast a long strip. Positioning is key, especially for large open areas where you generally want to find a rhythm; charge, blast, sidestep...charge blast side step.

Remember to utilise your sub weapons and specials, especially once you get access to sprinklers*, and ink strike*. Those two will greatly aid chargers in turf war.

Thanks for the advice!

Gotta make those shots count.

 

[Xeteh]

Still improving with the Charger but I'm still not good with it.

 

[Burning Justice]

I still have no idea how I'm supposed to counter the Blaster.

Outrange them.

They're hard to approach though.

When in doubt: Range.

 

[Totakeke]

Fuck the penalty timer. I just realized that the penalty counts the penalty timer as well. We went down to 1 and was stuck there forever. Essentially the worst case scenario.

I'm DONE. For the night.

 

[BlueSilver]

Range and good offensive subs/inkwall.

Hmm... that was what I was going to try next. I was using the Charger, but I have trouble hitting with that when they keep popping in and out.

 

[Vena]

Yeah no. Game can go fuck itself when I'm dying from Charger shots from ten years ago :/

I was having that yesterday for a bit, lol. I dropped the room and reset my router, got better. Not sure if it was from the room or me, lol.

This screenshot shows me what it looks like to have gotten gud.

Speaking from the point of view of someone who is terrible with the Chargers but putting in the effort to get better... Unless you're someone who has played a bunch of console shooters as a sniper, I can't imagine you having too much immediate success with Chargers. Just pick some fast firing gun with range (.52 Gal, Squelchers, NZap) and get used to aiming with those, all have decent range.

Damn Tota, GG.

I think it was just the room. I was getting N-zap'd by people from miles away after my teammates killed them, too.

Spoiler

Or my internet is selectively shit at random times of the day, including times when absolutely nobody else is internetting and nothing else is happening on my computer.

 

[The Adder]

Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. I only wish I could play you in Splat Zones.

I had that yesterday too, I think it really is room to room but its usually pretty easy to get away from.

That said... my internet DOES randomly shit itself, lol, and it did happen at one point last night when I was playing and it was definitely me because I noticed that GAF was slow as well.

Soon. (TM)

 

[SmithnCo]

That blaster jumping is scary as shit jesus christ

It cancels the lag movement from walking and shooting.

 

[Burning Justice]

Last one for me.

 

[Kastrioti]

Good games tonight. BlueSilver was owning with sniper on the high point on Blackberry Skatepark. That map isn't very roller friendly.

Walleye Warehouse on the other hand...

 

[SmithnCo]

My counter strategy is running away. Doesn't work that often.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Gg everyone

 

[The Adder]

It cancels the lag movement from walking and shooting.

Also makes you harder to hit. Which is really terrifying with the blaster since it doesn't need much accuracy.

As previously mentioned, I love fucking with chargers with a similar tactic using the Jet Squelcher.

 

[PadWarrior]

3 swim upgrades? Come on lol

 

[Burning Justice]

All right, I'm out. GGs, guys!

Couldn't do much better than having us both kill each other.

 

[BlueSilver]

You should equip a 3x main run upgrade and laugh at how fast you are.

 

[Xeteh]

Krak-On (the shoe's brand) has a 5x chance to roll swim speed.

 

[Heng]

Gg, and to everyone else who played with us.

LOL gotta go fast!

Ugh, I haven't rolled them yet and got this lol

 

[Xeteh]

Ugh, I haven't rolled them yet and got this lol

When I say "roll" i mean every time they learn a new ability. This isn't including Spyke. Just every time they gain a new ability they have a 5x chance to roll Swim Speed.

Great games, everyone! Gonna eat for real now.

Alright, when do the stores refresh their stock? I'm almost 12 and I still see the same shit I did when I was 4.

I think it's at 12AM.

At midnight, I believe.

Thanks guys.

So how long has Splatoon been sold out on Amazon. They are using a third party seller.

No idea but I just saw it still is the most wished for game on amazon.com. This is good news.

 

[Diffense]

Honestly, this game is kind of frustrating when you spend almost all game defending the Splat Zone on Saltspray rig with your back towards the crane, finish with an 11/6 K/D and STILL LOSE. It's really hard to rank up consistently with the random lottery of teammates. You probably have to be a Splatgod who can carry bad teams until you get to B+/A- range.

 

[bon]

How high can the winning streak counter thing go? I got it up to +11 tonight.

 

[Geg]

A while back someone posted a screenshot of it at +13.5

I assume it can go as high as it needs to

Last time I saw mine today was +17.0

Felt good

 

[BlueSilver]

Gonna try the squelcher for a bit.

Edit:Lol Heng. That beginning was great.

 

[BlueSilver]

[SmithnCo]

I gotta stick with the RG, having killing power is nice but painting an entire area in five seconds and planting mines is better.

 

[Heng]

Gonna try the squelcher for a bit.

I don't think my lobby is a great place to learn a new weapon lol.

 

[BlueSilver]

That 2v1 Kraken battle...

 

[WarAdept]

Had the worst day. B+ to A- then all the way down to B-.

Fuck everything. Can't do shit when your team prefers to skirmish on the splat zone (and die creating a big ink puddle for the opposing team) instead of trying to find higher ground.
