joining to a friend without spectating, but just a countdown. If its in Mario Kart, WHY NOT IN SPLATOON?
jesus is old as fuck
I guess so, that would be cool to have, but games are like 3-5 minutes so is waiting such a big deal?
Plus games are full most of the time, if not all and MK8 only has spectator for games that are not full.
But does Mario Kart let you join full matches?
And after suffering through Halo MCC, anything will be better than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9RCqhpgdIE&sns=tw
Yes it does, actually. Only up to two people can join a full lobby and wait though. Could be the same with Splatoon.
Mario Kart 8 races only last 3-5 minutes as well.
I edited my post.
Your edit is already accounted for in the first part of my post. Mario Kart 8 allows you to spectate full lobbies as well for two people. So 14 people could be in the lobby with 2 of them spectating.
It's been like that with a lot of game specific threads for some reason. You can be fully onboard with the game and still have criticism for the game. People can't seem to accept that.
Lack of spectator mode is a little bit of a bummer, but for as much other stuff as the game seems to be adding over time, I wouldn't be all that surprised to find that they do find a way to squeeze it in later down the road. Or, even without an actual camera of the match, it might be fun to display an updated map of the current battle, so you can at least see the ink being spread around.
And hey, on the bright side, at least you'll have Squid Jump to keep you company while waiting, so at least you're not just staring blankly at a timer the whole time, even without spectating.

I forgot all about that actually.
As much as spectator mode would be nice that's a clever way to tide people over.

Yeah, but hey, it's better than an error message, forcing you to spam join blindly over and over and over in an attempt to get into the lobby.
not to mention the dubbed out waiting music is some of the best in the game
which reminds me that mario kart 8's spectating music is also some of the best in the game. dat bass breakdown..
Oh, I don't know if you can play Squid Jump while you're waiting to join a friend, but I think it will.
It could still happen if there is a queue limit for people to join a full lobby like how it does with Mario Kart 8.
I agree you should be able to spectate, I don't see a reason why you can't to that while waiting.
This should be one of the first things they patch in. It's important to have spectator options in a game like this. If you want this to evolve into a competitive game it needs to allow people to watch tournaments or the best players.
So I'm not talking about just friends - you should have the options to watch other people as well.
I didn't know MK8 allowed you to spectate already full games.
Plus everyone is agreeing with him so I am not sure how your second comment applies to him.

I think a big part of the issue is conflicting priorities. Like for feature X you'll have one group of people where its absence is a complete deal breaker and another group of people who legitimately don't care or actively hate feature X. Then both groups look at each other and can't figure out why the other doesn't care about feature X as much/little as they do and heads start butting. Mix in a little bit of internet hyperbole that shows up on both sides and VIOLA, you have a shitstorm
Yea, it would be really cool to see overhead replays of the ground being covered by ink.
Yea, you're right, it really does come down to this. Wish people would just let people be at times, though sometimes it is justified.
Agreeing, and agreeing and then dismissing are two different things.
Viola, huh? Guess we'll have a lovely sounding shitstorm at least.I think a big part of the issue is conflicting priorities.

Ugh so long till release day. Just let it be may 29th already ;_;
Personally, I'd appreciate a feature to watch replays much more than I'd need a friend lobby spectator mode.

For me it isn't a dealbreaker, just features they could patch into the game - to make it reach it it's full potential.
Its about Splatoon reaching it's full potential,
- I've talked about ideas for other mods in other threads which they could introduce which utilize it's unique mechanics (racing through mazes in a free for all mode where the winner is the person who exits the maze first and you could send anyone back to the center by killing him). There is just a lot of things that could be done as far as match modes with these mechanics.
- Spectating high ranked players/friends/tournaments etc would also be ideal when they introduce Team Match making.
- Having Voice Chat for Teams/Friends is another thing they need to think about seriously.
Hopefully they take a page out of Valve and think about how to continuously build on this game over the next two years via patches/free dlc's/expansions etc
For me the game had already sold me, via the idea they came up with. It was one of the main reasons I got a Wii U an year ago, the concept is just exciting for me. I haven't played shooters in a while - so a new approach to the genre is interesting to me. I think there is ways to make this very competitive and interesting to watch. So right now I'm thinking about how to get it to reach it's full potential.
Mario Kart already has the code needed to spectate via Mario Kart tv-style angles. I would assume it's not here because it would be extra work for something cool, but not explicitly useful.

Which mode do you like more so far???
Tough question. I really like both. Turf War is tons of fun while Splat Zones feels more team-focused, but is really hectic. They both offer such different experiences. As of now, I think Turf War is my favorite of the two.

Nate did you get the upgraded Jet Squelcher yet?
I can buy the Custom Jet Squelcher. I'll shoot some footage with it tomorrow, though it seems to be the same as the standard just with a different special and side weapon.

Awesome thanks!
I just want it to be test fire day already so that I can get my fix before release day D:
Thank you~
Damn I'm so anxious to play this! Though I wish the paintbrush was available at launch

this game should have had a Splatoon TV app like Mario Kart 8 has MKtv
maybe they can add this later

Catching up on this thread. When you wait for a friend's room to open up, can you at least play a minigame on the gamepad? Also, I saw in a video that there's a charger that has the splash wall sub weapon and the missile strike special. Does anyone know if that specific charger is any good? I love the weapon combo.
dunno if the Jet Squelcher is good, it seems to be a high mobility charger that requires you to take advantage of your range and hit consistently several times in a row. Just going by the stats, I haven't seen it in action
the Dynamo Roller looks pretty damn neat but I think it really needs upgraded Inkling run speed (all the rollers do, probably). And the sub and special weapons are kinda meh
Man, on one hand I appreciate you providing us with these cool videos. On the other, I'm jealous of all the time you guys have had with the game. It needs to hurry up and be next Friday already.

Looks like Andre switched from the Splattershot jr to something else.
Well done both games!
That jump down death from above was pretty swell
Hahaha...yeah, I love that kill. Gives new meaning to the word splat.
He seems to be using the Aerospray MG.
Just saw the first video and wow, that was one-sided. It was completely the other team's fault for that though.
I think one thing that should not be done in Splat Zones is to be inside the Splat Zone itself. Enemy ink is constantly going to be shot into the Splat Zones so that just makes it easier for the other team to take control of it by splatting you which makes you explode in their ink.
You really used the Splattershot Pro's range to your advantage. Thanks for the vids.
Gonna watch the second one now.
Oh yea, how come you only got +15 points at the end? I wonder if it is cause everyone is at C- rank.
The second video is a lot more heated. Constant losing and gaining control lol. And it seems you aren't using gyro controls, but you are doing great with dual analog. I'm guessing dual analog is more comfortable for you.
Aerospray RG
Yeah, I'm more comfortable with dual analog controls. I tested the gyro controls pretty heavily but felt that dual analog was a better fit for me. Absolutely agree that players should stay out of the Splat Zones in this mode. As you could see in the first video, I gained control of the zone several times by splatting an enemy in the zone. I think these videos show the intensity of the mode pretty well, but also how quickly a team can lose when they don't approach the mode properly.

That just made the song that much better. Amazing.
