Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

Seems to me that the bamboozler would have ink consumption issues unless the lines are really thin.

Its ink consumption is ".08", Squiffer is .1, normal's .18, and e-liter's .3. Unless you're running over your own ink instead of swimming I don't think you'll run into ink issues.

EDIT: *BUT* it looks like its paint width is 2/3s that of the other chargers.
 
I finally played through the singleplayer. Although it was good - I think I should have played the SP first. Knowing the game mechanics makes the SP pretty easy. Only the levels with rotating platforms were difficult. I think they should make some more single player levels that are more challenging - like the last few. The other thing is maybe tweak the enemies and have certain levels with all kinds of enemies coming from all over the place.
I enjoyed the last boss fight but due to playing the multiplayer didn't find it difficult.

I guess my recommendation is to play the SP first if you are buying the game at a later date
 
Has anyone checked their activity log? I stream and idle but I'm starting to see why I might be sleeping on the couch soon.



Haven't played a game this much in almost 10 years.



I'm ashamed to admit I had to take a night off to finally beat him. That last section is crazy, then when you die you have to redo all of it. It's why I've never unlocked all the gear on the amiibos.



I am splatacus. Gonna turn on my stuff, be on in a sec.
About 107.5 hours.
 
Some tips:
- Use bombs to take care of the enemy-creating spawn bubbles
- Just avoid the little missiles, don't worry about blowing them up
- Don't rush the boss, give yourself a bit of room to maneuver. If you're too close to him things get more difficult.
- Keep your ink up.
- There are several shields in the level (orange boxes), make sure you get them to survive a hit.

Thanks for the tips! I've made some progress. Still very tough though!

I am fairly confident that I have spent more time on the final boss than the entire rest of the single player campaign
 
That always happens when I join a GAFer's room. I think the game has some sort of hidden rating system for Turf Wars that it uses for matchmaking and GAF peeps tend to play with other GAF peeps so their hidden rating gets all fucked up. Whereas my non-GAF friends don't do that (obviously) so their hidden rating is fine.

I agree with this. When the game launched, I saw a steady progression in others' skill from lv 1 to 20, then got matched up against some good players and suffered a losing streak. The follow-up matches were against a steady stream of newbie and lower level players. Hidden matchmaking at work.
 
That scared the shit out of me walkman...

How did you get back there?
Just took the side alley on the other side and went straight behind you
Edit: your burst bombs are hell up close, now I know what blue silver was talking about using the bombs to be more aggressive with the charger
 
Waiting for Splatfest :(

she so cute https://youtu.be/lU8FJrRUz0c

This remember me the Donkey Kong Returns gifs with Rambi's animation on the ledge of a hole.
Many details as usual in Nintendo games.

Edit: I 15k-ed my Splatfest rock shirt. I have no more shoes to buy today. Can't find 3* gear to order. Have around ten weapons to buy, though.

I love Nintendo for that

they let me down a lot but art and little details <3
 
I had no idea ranked matches could go into overtime. Just lost one because of that, I started spamming "Booyah!" when the clock was reaching 0, got killed and then the other team won haha.

Carbon Roller is good for ranked. Inkzooka isn't that good for Turf Wars but it kills in Splat Zones. Managed to go from C- to C+ in one playsession with it!

Is the ink consumption proportional to the charge time or the area inked? If it's the former than bamboozler will ink a lot.

!

Worst thing with overtime, I didn't figured out yet how it works.
And sometimes it has a sub counter before the actual counter can go down again... erfff I should search online but I definitely won't bother with ranked again.
 
For me most Japanese players are alright there are some that lag

for me everyone lags when I have one of my frequent lag spikes, and in the room we just played a Japanese player killed me ~7 seconds after I splatted him. I'm really not having a good time with this game at the moment

I think it's how much of the tank is used on a full charge but I'm not sure, and a full charge covers more area with our current chargers so it would be hard to test anyways i think.

I don't know I've had a few spikes and a few times my router was causing the problems. But generally where I live we have very good internet.

Carbon seems a lot better on the Mall , not very good on Skate Park
 
Last match for me as well. GG guys it was fun.
Good games, it was good to finally get to play a long session with you. Glad you and Daboss were playing charger it was really good practice for me playing against other chargers.

Good games everybody I played with today I'm done for now might hop on later tonight
 
you probably have a much better connection than I do. I'm upgrading next month but it will takes weeks

Yeah it is pretty much the only thing my country has going for it, super fast net

Thanks for the games earlier - was my first online with friends. The Chargers are insane when you have a couple of them perched up high holding the line. They're not a weapon I can use well though.
 
this final boss is hard as fuck


I thought the entire game was easy. I finished the whole thing without upgrading and only died to the final boss. The final boss was only hard to me at first because I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing to hurt him. Once I figured it out it was not difficult, although I could feel the intensity increasing with each phase.
