Anyone here have splatoon or even a wii-u? This game is pretty fantastic.

[XelNya]

I have it. It's an amazing game.

[MinaciousGrace]

in my mind splatoon is just a portmanteau of sperm and platoon

This game is amazing. Played the shit out of it.

Away on vacation for a little bit but I'll be playing this a lot when I get back. Just got into ranked, where the competition has been really difficult so far.

I wish I could choose to be an octopus or a squid for multiplayer. Just finished the campaign though. That final boss was just a tad too long.

Yeah I've heard the last boss is a bit repetitive. Kinda sucks in that regard, but it's still got some good music to go with it.

Don't have the game but have a Wii U

How is the game really? There was a lot of skepticism on the internet against it, although I got the vibe that the game developers wanted to portray the game in the same sense/vibe that Jet Set Radio was.

Almost done with all the amiibo challenge mode levels. The only somewhat difficult ones are the limited ink challenges.

i just got this, and i have like no people to play with, we should get a lobby going sometime

(i'm Daikyi on the nintendo network btw)

[YoshL]

bump, because if anyone watched the ad on the evo stream, team matchmaking is coming up for splatoon, and i'm so excited

[Reach]

Woo.

I'm liking the continual roll-out of new content.

Got back to playing it a bit recently. Got King on the weekend splatfest for rollercoasters. Got ranked up to B- but really haven't played it much. Might push for A rank sometime.

[portalbob340]

Team matchmaking? Perfect!

[YoshL]

team ffr goes to town

or something like that

[Reach]

Anyone still playing?

Huge update. Lots of new content and game modes now.

Ranked up from B- to A- today. Good run.

Tfw the enemy team takes it to 1 pt on the tower with 10 seconds left, and you capture and then ride the tower all the way to victory during overtime while getting 3 quadra kills and ending up 35-6. Could taste the salt on the other team.

I was playing earlier just trying to level up some gear so that I can try to get somethings more useful.

Sadly I get lots of bad rolls with like bomb range and shit.

I'm slowly starting to hate the aerospray's fuckin' ink mines though, things are damn near absolutely worthless. I set one up as I try to bait someone to come up to me and they do, then it just never goes off or just yuck

things blow imho

[YoshL]

add Daikyi on nintendo network, we should get some team matchmaking going on for ffr

[XelNya]

Yes. Maybe a splatfest thing to

Yeah, they're really not that good.

There are a lot of bad basic abilities outside of regular mode/ low ranks.

Seekers are pretty much only good on port, otherwise also garbage (though they are stupidly good on port. Play the 'only use seekers' on port game and get like 20 kills np).

Bombs never kill anyone good unless you're lucky or they're bad.

Balloons are OK.

Sprinkler is alright. Some maps have really annoying places you can put them.

Beacon and wall are some of the best sub moves moves, though location is really important.

Inkstrike and Kraken are pretty much king for specials, followed by shield, which is also pretty good but more situational. Everything else is too situational. Inkzooka is pretty good on zone but bad on tower where it's like, the enemy is 30 away and you load up your inkzooka and you're like "Alright, I got this" and they just kraken and ayyy lmao right into your end zone. Echolocator is stupidly good since Ninja squid is 100% on ranked, but probably not worth the tradeoff.

I actually like the seekers a lot x.x'

I have no idea how beacon even works actually to be honest.

Recently been trying out some more closer ranged weapons for the damn tower map while leveling gear /only plays turfwar really

Beacons allow people to squid jump to that location. You want to put them in safe locations where you can split a couple of directions from.

Seeker is great on port because you can't side step it. I can count the number of times I've ever been hit by one on another map though.

I'd use bucket right now, it's pretty strong. I was rolling in A- with it.

Make sure you have ninja squid + ink resistance if you're playing ranked. At that point, just swim up beside people and two shot them before they can do much of anything. Not to mention I feel like bucket fucks roller really hard which is the best thing ever.
