Oh sorry we're still playing. We have 3v3 rainmaker going if you still wanna join.
So I was watching Giant Bombs hilarious hilarious Mario Maker DMX level and went down the YouTube rabbit hole to their Nintendo Direct 2014 live broadcast. I skipped the whole event other than watching the Zelda trailer but around the 40 minute mark, Nintendo announced Splatoon.
It's interesting to hear and see how the game has evolved since that initial showing at E3. The Giant Bomb crew kind of downplay the initial unveiling - "is this a downloadable game or full price?" Etc. But you get to hear some of the original gameplay philosophies from the team and see how Saltspray Rig has evolved. What I found most interesting was a map that had sort of the same aesthetic as Saltspray but wasn't one of the original maps released and hasn't been shown after that IIRC.

The moving jump icon isn't due to lag I think, it happens to me quite often on tower control, I think the game just has a problem recognizing where the jump is near the tower.

How are you guys seeing the map rotations besides the current ones? Unless I'm misunderstanding.
I know all those maps evolved into something we have now, but I would love to play them, they look so different from their current versions and I want to know how they would play out.
I like how they were really concerned about the gyro aiming. I also like how they were making fun of the devs going into too much detail on everything. I've noticed Nintendo seems to do that a lot. They sometimes over explain that are already kinda easy to understand and aren't even that big. Like how they were talking about the waypoints in the new Zelda like it was a big deal.
Lmao I'm just messing around. On that Port Mackerel match I thought we were going Splat Zones then realized during the match it was Rainmaker.
Even though it was 3 v 4 I thought we had a chance. Was going to try to break the line then plank beacons above their splat zone.
Oh that was my bad...see before I realized Kevin was out I initiated the match and thought "Shit, Kevin said he'll brb. Oops." So me and Ryechu said we would throw the match so we could start the next one quickly.
Also GGs to everyone in the private lobby tonight! Rainmaker is definitely the best game mode now. I'm super tired though z__z...
Japanese site lists the current rotation and the next two: https://splatoon.nintendo.net Just put in your NNID and password
You can also look at the stats of people on your friend list, like their current level, rank, gear, and weapon history

Greetings SplatGAF!
My account was just activated, so what follows will be a bit of a long overdue make-up intro post.
Firstly, I must apologise for sneaking my way into SplatGAF prematurely prior to joining; it was mere luck that a few people decided to add my NNID after lurking the SplatGAF OTs. Despite lacking any real direct means of communicating with any of you, making it somewhat difficult join in on all the fun, on the off-chances when there has been GAF room going at the right time, it has always been a blast!
From memory, long overdue GGs are in order for Violet O and Sendou for their excellent charger play, Azure J for keeping his cool whilst using his Inkbrush, Nico_D for the various Squad Matches, and anyone else who Ive played with over the past few months for being awesome players.
Already on board with the Discord Rooms, and will get to adding my NNID to the spreadsheet soon. Looking forward to playing with you all more often!

I wasn't sure if you were waiting someone else this morning (or whatever the time of the day you're having is) which was why I left after the first match. It was a good one.

Hello there! I was wondering why I couldn't find you saying anything on this thread
I'm a fan of your Gal gameplay. Hope we can play more soon.It would've been funnier with an actual dynamo in his game, cool tale tho, he captured the online experience with those wise words really well.
I hope he'll live the experience of facing a team with 4 dynamo users one of these days.

I said it once and i think it bears repeating but I will never seek out rainmaker for ranked battles EVER.
Ok seeing that has erased my bad vibes of going to bed on losses. Thanks man!

Wait ! You are telling you weren't with gaf from the begining ? How did you end up on my friend list then ?! How well, welcome to splatgaf then !
That moment early on when the Krak-on roller is coming at him and suddenly teleports to like a foot in front of his face is some The Ring nightmare shit.
lol, that mario level was great
also love the GB guys because they may play up the snark but they keep it real most of the time. seeing them be luke warm about something but coming around to it later is a big reason why I like those guys. I've noticed a lot of people in the gaming industry get their first impression of something and then it's like a personal challenge to stick with and justify that first impression even if the game evolves over time into something pretty awesome.

We have a slot open in squads if anyone wants to join.
Anyone want my Trail Boots?
I went through my equipment and noticed I accidentally had a rare combo sitting in my equipment backlog. Ink Recovery + Ink (Sub) Saver, despite the boots being Inkline. I hadn't started re-rolling stuff, so they must've just been that way.
(Ew, I look like such a nerd.)
Ended up making a .96 Gal Deco "Stay alive forever" build for Rainmaker. The boots + Splash Wall to buy time. Tenacity + Special Charge Up for lots of Krakens. .96 Gal Deco is utterly broken on Port Mackerel Rainmaker, so that was fun to try out.
Thinking maybe the boots would be good for a Ninja Burst Bomb build? Maybe Ninja Squid + Bomb Throw Up?

I cant believe it took so long to find a decent picture of this hat. But there is a hole for the guys just like with Capt Cuttlefish.

Guys, whats the best way to get the abilities you want on your gear? Is it just random as hell? Is theee a secret to rerolling that I dont know?
It's just luck, certain brands have more chance of being a particular ability though (see document)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...XkYGSZGg4AsrTI_2veUlbs/htmlview#gid=602024490
Best way would be to order of someone who already has it, but even then the odds are low (like 0.5% I think)
The first, with skewed percentages. Certain brands get you 5 times the percentage of specific abilities for each roll (30%) while cutting the percentage for another in half (3%). Rockenberg is Run Speed Up preferred, Swim Speed Up rare, for example. Some brands like Famitsu, The Squid Girl, and Cuttlegear are just a 6% chance of everything, so ultimate random.

This looks so good.
You just have to buy it from the shop
But since what is in each shop each day is random, it may or may not take a while to appear

Someone in our squad matches just now was wearing the girl squid version. I definitely like the guy squid Bison hat better >.>
I'm not sure about the US and Europe but based on the MC threads you and the Japanese could still be playing this in 2020.
Damn though. This guy did a lot of turf wars, if his rank is any indication.
