I'm not sure if the exclusion of common features like that and other weird poo poo like being unable to switch loadouts while in a lobby are intentional or just another example of Nintendo Galapagos syndrome

Roland Jones posted:The Aerospray is good but it's not that good; I've seen them lose. Heck, I've seen them lose hard, even when the RG player abused the end-of-round Inkstrike. (Including times I saw teams with three or even four Aerospray variants on the same team.) It's fun, and it's good, but it's not some win-button like some people are acting. If you are bad and pick a good weapon, that doesn't instantly make you a good player

Keiya posted:I keep getting paired with people who think the way to win Arowana Mall is to hang back and meticulously ink the starting area while the other team takes total control of the middle. I still think one major change they ought to make is to ink a portion of your home base by default at the start of the game.

oopsie rock posted:No way, I love that these are easy points and that some people straight out ignore inking that part of the map. It's enough to win a really close match. I'd rather players go out and start working on contestable ground rather than standing around shaking their dicks in the corner

kojicolnair posted:I've won matches because people completely ignore an entire path from their base so thanks for making it easier I guess! Well I mean, if the base and some immediate area started out pre-painted this wouldn't be a issue anymore. Also from that splat zone video, looks like the weird counter under your score is extra hold time until your clock actually starts counting down? What causes the number to be what it is?

Misandu posted:Has anyone seen a guide to things like Defense Up break points floating around? I was thinking of making a guide but if someone who's already unlocked everything has handled it then it'd be a bit of a waste. Try it out yourself on the firing range, they have dummies in there with stacks of the perk.

Rexroom posted:I had a match in the Rig where the splat zone changed hands constantly. It was so close Judd gave us extra time to give the decider. (Apparently if the timer runs out but you control the zone, the clock keeps ticking - if you control long enough to pass the other team, you win. You can guess what happens if you don't.) One match yesterday went into overtime after we managed to claw back from early losses, and we pulled ahead in points with literally a second left on the clock.

Has anybody else been using the Gold Roller? It OHKOs at distances it has no business reaching, hits enemies directly above you, and has Inkstrike. It's the kind of loadout that can singlehandedly turn a Splat Zone game around.

Worst Girl posted:Would it be more likely to win the splatfest prize if we all just joined the same team? From what I can tell, winning games in Splatfest fills up a new type of exp bar, then at the end you get snails equal to the number of times you've leveled that up.

Has anybody check what the EXP curves of the equipment are like? Not sure if it's just because you get so much more EXP in ranked than regular, but my 1* upgraded slots hat felt like it took a lot less EXP to max out than a 3* equipment.

Jonas Albrecht posted:The one thing that is bugging me about Chargers is that I'm not sure what they can do to expland on the concept. Blasters seem to have a couple of levers you can pull to make them dynamic, and the Inkbrush is almost a fourth weapon class. But Chargers? It just seems like they are going to keep adding range and calling it a day. Plenty of funky Pulse Rifles in Destiny, I'm sure they can find something.

Sade posted:Last night I had my most frustrating splatoon experience yet. There was a roller player who was so laggy that he projected a 5yd zone of death in every direction. You approach this dude from any direction with any weapon, you die 5 seconds later. I stayed in the room with him for 3 games and I was so mad I had to quit for the night. That's my splatoon story for the day. Why did you stay in the room

Parasol Prophet posted:People who enjoy delicious sweet/savory pizza. They do a good job masking lag, but it's there. Weapons that have high burst damage like the roller or blaster make you notice it more. Also Splatoon not only had an impressive hold in Japan with 60-80k copies sold in its second week, but also caused Wii U hardware sales to rise compared to the previous week. dragon enthusiast fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Electromax posted:I hope the next splatfest is "I get worked up about superior pet discussions" vs. "chill people who like all creatures". Then Nintendo can forward the list of the former team members on to the FBI's disappearer squad. You can actually be quite aggressive with the roller if you play smartly, which ups your point count by a few hundred I think. Some maps (Mall) are more difficult for roller than others though.

Port Mackerel Splat Zone hypothetical: you're running a weapon with good ink coverage, like a roller or charger. Your team manages to take back your zone but you're still behind. Do you: push forward to attempt to cap both zones, or stay back to improve your ink coverage of the area? Are there specific situations where you'd do the other one instead?

oopsie rock posted:If Saltspray Rig is in the ranked rotation I won't play. If the other team's using chargers it's just too hard to recover. I generally dislike that map in general, though. The secret to Rig is that you can get the uncap by just painting the area outside the chokepoint. Force them to come to you. Also make good use of the one-way walls

Dizz posted:The what now? The walls by the chokepoint can only be painted from the outside. Use those to attack the rest of the zone instead of just walking in. I think they even allow certain weapons to attack the sniper perches that can't hit them easily from ground level.
