GAF, these Splatoon gachapon keychains: http://nintendonews.com/2015/07/splatoon-capsule-toys-japan/
Is anyone importing these other than random overpriced eBayers?

I wouldn't consider this "girlish" unless your definition is literally "anything not stereotypically manly." Which is a terrible definition.
And I've got a few cushions on preorder because they look amazing.
Now someone tell me how to get these keychains.
You worry about coming across as girlish to a forum full of people that prefer to use the girl option in Splatoon? Don't worry about it, man. Abandon those gender associations!
It's funny that this guy admits that motion controls are better but still refuses to use them.
Oh god, he also complained that the opponent didn't come out when he was basically flashing his laser sight making it obvious he was there.
I mean, I get it. I was kinda at the same place this guy was a long time ago (still am with some weapons *cough*bamboozeler*cough*). But every time I was ignorant about something I at least come on here and ask about it. Instead of making videos like I actually knew what I was talking about.

I'm in kind of a rough position at the moment because I bought an Elgato for Splatoon, but the only computer I can use it with is a laptop that my wife uses until she goes to bed, lol. So as it turns out, most of my best matches have still happened while I can't use the Elgato.
I'm saving up for a real capture machine, but probably won't be able to get it until Decemberish at the earliest
yeah I've also been very close to buying a capture card specifically for Splatoon. it's something about this game in particular because I've never even thought of streaming before, let alone come this close to pulling the trigger. it will probably be a 2016 purchase though. funds are tight for the rest of the year.

I toasted up some squidbread.
Those plush toys came out in July and have sold out on sites like AmiAmi. There's a new set of colours coming out in October (Pink, Purple, Blue and Cyan).
If guys keep thinking this, then fine, more merchandise for me. (...I've only ordered the purple one.)
This has definitely been a thought for me as well. Not too sure how well my laptop will handle it though but I guess if I can stream Pac-man Championship Edition through OBS then it could be possible lol.
It looks like Nintendo heard your concerns!
You can play it in Ranked right now! Then, you can play it in Turf War! Then, in Ranked... again!
I have an old capture card I used to record older games (it uses composite and S-Video). I could use it with the Wii U, but I'd rather not.
If I wanted to get one, I would just go for one that would be more future proof (HDMI and 60fps).
Though the thing that makes me want to stream is my connection upgrade from a week or two ago that gives me a 10Mbps upload.

I think I'll stay at A+ forever. :|
Also about Flounder Heights, some data shows that there's no Camp Triggerfish in regular battle and Splat zone since Aug 1st. Maybe Nintendo just replace those spots with Flounder Heights. Camp Triggerfish should show up again after tomorrow's update.

How much does capture card that does HDMI and 60 fps cost?

If a scrublord like me can make it out of A+, anyone can lol.
I'll probably return to A+ this week though.
Crisis averted!

This makes me want to get a capture card and make my own "how to charger" video. It would definitely be more informative about play style and tactics...

He has 0p on the Splatterscope. And he's doing a video guide for it? Bomb rush is bad for Turf Wars????

What is the error message? What is your upload speed?

I don't know a good way to get them outside of Japan, but I'd recommend the keychains. They're small, but they look just as good as those pics.
Cool! Maybe later on after they make Octolings playable they'll continue to add new races every so often. It'd be neat if they brought the rabbits back, even if it'd be weird at first introducing land mammals to the game.
Shapeshifting rabbits from the moon wielding bamboozlers and bamboo-brushes. If you think about it, it really wouldn't be too out of place for this universe.

101-0502. No clue about my upload speed, but Splatoon has always worked flawlessly up until today.
Good luuuuck.
S > A+ > Everything else is the same in terms of teammates not knowing what the * they're doing.
Get on Discord if you haven't already, we just had a squad going on through there.
Splatoon topic dropping to page 2? I'll not have it!
Do any of the SplatGAF-elite folks use the Slosher as a main weapon? I tried it a few times shortly after it released and kinda wrote it off, but after a particularly bad early stretch during the last Splatfest, I tried it again on a "fuck it, I'm sucking right now anyway" whim and found myself actually doing halfway decent with it. I might just chalk it up as lower level competition but I found that suddenly I was doing a lot better getting splats with it than I ever had during my early tests. Are there any particularly important strategies to keep in mind aside from the knowns of attacking behind/around cover, and adding a damage up to build the quick burst bomb-to-slosh 2-hit combo kill?
Probably going to toy around with it some more tonight, regardless, but I hesitate to try bringing it into ranked rooms unless I feel like I actually know what I'm doing with it.

I think it's a pretty good weapon. You should try playing with enough damage up to kill with an indirect bomb and a direct hit with the bucket. It sort of reminds me of a blaster except I don't get rewarded with a 1 hit kill on direct contact. I would suggest bringing it to turf war and see if you're able to kill the people in that mode before trying it in ranked. The way it covers turf is also a bit weird too so TW would be pretty good the get the hang of the weapon.
I personally like running with 2 damage up since everyone is using defense up now.

1AM Splatoon shenanigans. Get the tower to 1 point away from capping on Underpass in the first 30 seconds, only for the other team to eventually cap the tower in god damn overtime. I fucking love my B+ rank.
Since the splatfest, I've typically been going with 1 damage up main, though I suppose I haven't formally tested just what that does or doesn't let me get away with. 2 would definitely help in case my bomb-aim game is a bit off for a couple rounds (seems to randomly come and go with me), but I'm a little more hesitant on that since I'm not sure just what other stat I might be willing to pass up on in order to focus on higher attack. I'm already running it with some ink saver main since repeated sloshes and liberal burst bomb use drain ink pretty quickly, and run speed to aid in maneuverability around cover during attacks. I've also got ink resistance going mostly because I'm not too confident in my escape options should someone have the time to get in and engage me directly. Also, I want to look fresh, of course, which has limited a few other options.
I think I started to understand the way the sloshes spread as far as aiming and everything goes, but I'm really not sure why combat felt better since the splatfest than it ever did before. Even if my tests on this don't work out, I definitely feel better about looking into future versions of the weapon type
unlike chargers and splatlings, which I have to straight up ignore due to being too awful to use them
late edit: Server maitenance! Just when I was about to jump into ranked, too.
Good. barely had the game and I'm already sick of flounder heights.
