Nintendo updated their million sellers list. Splatoon is now the 7th best selling Wii U game with 1.62m units sold as of June 30th.

Remember it broke 1m only around 2 weeks before that, so it might be closing in on 2m already.

These maps are getting boring now. Do they change every hour?

They change every 4 hours. Next change is 2 hours from the time of this post.

Yeah, 4 hours is a lot. Hopefully this new DLC with its private rooms lets us choose the maps too.

It does.

watching people on the same team fall into the gaps in moray towers is kinda funny but at the same time really awful and does not help at all lol

 

[Exentryk]

Lol, Red. I got you once at least XD



Merrick, get in here.

It does.

Good.

 

[RedFyn]

I should've used my kraken at the end. It just seemed too cheap.

Splatoon will surely sell lots more. At the same time, kind of sad that the Pikmin 3 masterpiece isn't on that list.

I hope my current equipment is at least good enough to survive gaf since i'm still trying to level up and buy things

 

[Gattuso]

lol, that was bad

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat.

 

[RedFyn]

Sorry, I don't normally do that to low level players but sometimes I can't help myself

 

[Exentryk]

Does leveling up give you better stats too? Or is it just those abilties?

Here's the comment, Red. It's at the bottom and continues into the next page. Yes, I actually looked for it. It was like reading through a diary.

trying to get away from that death roller red is hard

You guys are doing good.

Leveling up your gear gives it sub abilities. You yourself don't get individual stats or anything.

Okay thanks.


It's good when Red is on your team

Sorry guys. That loss is on me. I was messing around too much

I don't know what your talking about. I was using a chrager

Use your range. I'm also handicapping myself by not spawn camping or using my sub and special

 

[Rize_21]

Sorry, got hit by a triple error communications, was expected as it took a good second, if not a little bit more to activate the bubble on the teammates, and with the ink that didn't show up.

I wonder if the bubbler takes a good avantage with special duration up as main skill, I'll keep it with the splattershot jr. , might add some quick super jump too to activate it for some teammates.

I feel that these 2 comics deserve a place in OT3.

 

[Gattuso]

still kinda seems like your ranged attack goes almost as far as I can shoot

 

[Jeff Vader]

Lol match is over and of course a com error.

 

[RedFyn]

Sorry, my bad. I'm getting too tired to play well

 

[RedFyn]

It does but yours is faster. Cover the ground in front of me and push me back.

What's your sub weapon?

 

[Exentryk]

Comm error.

sprinkler, which seems okay for certain situations but I feel like they're to easy to get rid of quickly to do much

Sprinkler with a shorter range rapid gun... is it the Nzap '89? I don't remember any other gun that's shorter in range.

 

[RedFyn]

They're actually really effective at zoning out a roller. You might try the black nzap. I prefer its kit over the orange one.

It can be tough fighting a good roller but you'll learn how. Most of GAF still struggles when they use short range weapons.


Its the orange one blue

 

[Jeff Vader]

Amiibo samurai outfit + octobrush = awesome gimmic squid.

yeah that's the one.

will see if I fair better with the '85 instead of that one.

 

[RedFyn]

Exentryk is the roller you main and are you using gyro?

You might also try a longer range weapon like the duel squelcher gattuso

 

[Exentryk]

I am using analong stick and I can only play the roller. Absolutely suck at aiming and shooting haha.

Btw, I can't see you guys online so am just in a random room.

Have you tried the gyro? It should help you with your aim once you get the hang of it.

 

[Gattuso]

I was online but my router blew up just now and doesn't seem to wamt to come back on for the moment so I guess I'll head to bed since it's almost 3 am here anyway.

GGs all!

I did try it at the start, and didn't like it. Giving a try again now.

Like Red suggests, you might have luck with the Dual Squelcher vs him. It even comes with Splat Bombs, which he willingly stays near when he's tired. =P If not, just play really smart. He's aggressive, but isn't stupid. If certain approaches stop working for him, he will change it up. He's also good at getting multikills, so be careful about that.

Yeah, Red's Roller is infamous around SplatGAF, just like my bomb spam, though that's slightly less infamous. =P You gotta stay hyper aware. He usually packs Ninja Squid, which makes him a more lethal shark. Study his movements and learn to adapt to them.

I switched the sensitivity all the way up when trying the Dynamo Roller (using gyro controls) and it´s awesome how easy it´s become to make 180º jump kills. Stick with them for a couple of days and you won´t want to back to dual sticks.

Thanks for that tip. I turned down the camera sensitivity when I first started, but now I should raise it up a little. Works the same with the sticks. I am just not a fan of motion with having to move around the gamepad >_>

I have only tried it with Rollers, maybe rising sensitivity isn´t a good idea if you use a shooter-type weapon where more careful aim is needed, but I read you were using a Roller so it should help you.

Oh and you don´t have to move around the gamepad much, just tilt it a bit to aim up or down. It´s become second nature to me and I really don´t feel like I´m moving it when I´m playing, except for those exceptional situations where you have to jump, turn and aim diagonally up/down in a moment (something I wouldn´t be able to do with sticks). Just use the right stick for horizontal aiming and tilt the gamepad for vertical aiming.

I don't plan to do such extravagant manoeuvres haha. Happy with just running around painting stuff. I can't shoot or aim anyway lol.

Mess with the sensitivity to find what you're comfortable with and make sure you're using the right stick in tandem with the gyro.

Robot made me do this earlier on camp and it really bothered me. That said I don't switch things up enough and some times I do just keep running into a wall and don't try and figure out how to break through. Like on towers today. Although I guess i did figure out what I need to do, I just never got to implement it fully.

Yeah, Red's Roller is infamous around SplatGAF, just like my bomb spam, though that's slightly less infamous. =P You gotta stay hyper aware. He usually packs Ninja Squid, which makes him a more lethal shark. Study his movements and learn to adapt to them.

You underestimate the rage your bombs induce.



I'm definitely way too predictable and I'm working on fixing that, I'm also trying to break my bad habit of jumping for every attack. It's hurting my game.

 

[taparoo]

I thought my roller game was stronk, but after playing a few games with you guys I've learned, 1. Red is better, and 2. I hate, HATE squelchers, especially on moray.

I have this problem where if i get frustrated I just start throwing myself recklessly into unwinnable circumstances, and combine that with the quick respawn on my gear... leads to some bad scores haha.

It's a fact of life, whenever I play with a charger with a scope on Moray I fall at least once per round. Keep in mind I'm supposedly and A+ player

Anyhow my recent games learning to play with the charger has taught me one thing

lmao, left one is too true

Also for the first time yesterday, I saw someone jump back to their spawn point just before I was about to splat them. Seems like a waste of time really

I noticed earlier this week or whenever it was we were playing on Saltspray with you on a roller it was pretty easy for me to splat you when I was defending the north areas and you were trying to invade. I think you really excel when your team has general control of the map and you're defending or hunting enemy players trying to break in

.@SplatoonJP BTW, Private Matches do not award points or affect your status or rank. Passwords can also be set, so you can battle buddies.

what? Sounds to me that private matches are actually more like public rooms in other multiplayer games? So we don't need to add anyone to the friend's list? But how does one search through rooms? What.

that's kind of cool. seems like everyone in a room won't have to have everyone else on their friend list. seems like the equivalent of the Mario Kart 8 tournaments where you have to enter a code in.

 

[Jintor]

i think pretty much every weapon excels the more room to maneuver you have. fuck man if you're on a team of four rollers though, ain't nobody gonna win that matchup unless the other team physically can't aim

hey, rank matchmaking system: don't make all roller/all charger teams mmkay
