I'd go team red if I wasn't completely terrified of the strong possibility of all day mirror matches.
Yep. I always pick my side based on this factor alone.
I miss my first save so much. My main team named after Gundam Wing series Gundams (don't judge, I was 10 and Toonami was lit), 141 out of 151 Pokemon acquired (closest I ever got to a full living dex), and I had the most based Zapdos, Arcanine and Blastoise ever.

Yeah, realised it when I was trying to pass that link to a friend
woops!Still pretty neat they went through the extra effort to make a real Splatfest shirt for the event.
I've been Level 50 for so long I actually thought you meant ranking points.
There are glitches with the XP system, albeit rare. I remember someone from GAF jumped from 20-something up to the 30's when the extra levels first came out. Don't believe any rhyme or reason was ever found.

Valentine's Day squid cookies
明日はバレンタインデー。
イカ研究所の女性研究員が手作りのクッキーを作ったという。
あいかわらずあのイカに夢中なようだ。
なお、このクッキーは一般発売されないので悪しからず。

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. That squid Institute of female researchers made a homemade cookie.
Ever it seems crazy about that squid. It should be noted, amissing since this cookie will not be generally available.

I've picked blue, but apparently some folks are very enthusiastic regarding red

I can't tell if that's supposed to be two busty women on the left or if it's an attempt at arms. I mean, it looks like they have arms as well, right?
But if that's the case, how come the woman on the right doesn't have arms? Or did he change his artstyle for the different color version, and now it denotes arms?
I'M CONFUSED
Edit: Wait, I think Blue Woman is putting one hand to her face/chin, and her other hand to her ear.
I am putting actual effort into deciphering a stick-figure drawing from quite possibly an eight year old.
The answer to all mysteries in Splatoon.

Yep. I did a long, elaborate drawing for Team Dog and then never bothered again.
I was one of those, except I wasn't awesome enough and only jumped from level 20 to 28 or so
I had a theory, but it was centered around the level cap raise so don't think it applies to Regiruler's circumstances.Rewatched Azure's stream from yesterday. Seems everybody forgot i'm a gaffer
I was telling them and wondering what was up. :lol
Rewatched Azure's stream from yesterday. Seems everybody forgot i'm a gaffer

I also remember deleting you from my friend list cause I need room and stuff. I'm sorry. ;_;
Then again, I don't even play much in GAF rooms anymore either. =/

Nintendo selling Splatoon x Pokémon shirts in Japan. They certainly know how to capitalize on combining those two popular franchises. The shirts look awesome too. ;;

So on the doujin Splatoon album Splabeat there is a song that incorporates the tower control jingle (Geg posted a translation earlier in the thread, it's got funny lyrics) but there is also one that uses the losing jingle and it's super cute XD Surprisingly the song is pretty upbeat I translated the lyrics for fun, sorry in advance for wall of text.

Thanks for keeping me on your friend list. You're my only connection to getting into the gaf lobby these days.Azure said:

So after almost exclusively playing with Rollers since i got the game, i now am trying to learn some Aero RG.. Man is it hard to have to keep the reticule on a moving player long enough to actually kill him as opposed to just simply give an unsuspecting player a good swirl with the roller and BOOM I do like the increased range for creating pathways to then swim in for quicker movement though.

I imagine it's done at least in part to prevent pub stomping.
The aero is a tough weapon to kill with due to the short range, wide spread and rate of fire. If you are planning on playing ranked, if you're not already, I'd suggest learning a different weapon. The aero is tough to use, especially the rg and outclassed in most aspects by every other weapon.
Yes, you can squad with up to 3 friends (so 4 total). This matches you up against other squads.

lol rg. At least you're not a detriment anymore

Good to know, i'm still somewhat of a noob (LvL 17) but i can hold my own in most matches (at least with the roller i could) What other similar weapon would you recommend to the Aero then? The N-Zap perhaps? Please note that i want either the Inkzooka or the rocket launcher as subs as i really like those.
The aerospray was OP very early on (the rollers were deemed OP back during the testfire, but shortly after the game itself landed and people leveled enough to get them, the aerosprays became very popular). They're not bad for turf war, especially in a larger stage where it's important to just keep moving and spraying (Kelp Dome is their best stage). For ranked with its focus on kills, they are harder to use, but not impossible to use well. Decent killing power at low range, and then the gold one's sub and special are nice for tower control and splat zones, especially since you can charge the special quickly due to the fast coverage.
The higher-level players do rarely use them, but they have a place.
I only recently figured out how motion controls worked in this game. So i'm eager to give it a try later this week, and then do splatfest this weekend to see if i can really get some good results.
