I think my favorite thing about this game is my dream of rolling over people with a giant paint roller coated in Mac n' Cheese sauce is now a reality.

It makes me hungry and want to do crafts. Maybe the sequel can be food based. Better not drop the squids though.

People really need to start splating walls. I always keep pulling wins because people aren't covering up my wall splats.

Does the echolocator show enemy locations for everyone on the team or just who activated it?

"Inspiration, move me brightly"
Ended up picking up Splatoon yesterday and I'm having a lot of fun with this game, it oozes charm and has really solid mechanics. So far, at level 7, the Splattershot is my favorite weapon to use, with the Roller following

Last night I had preordered the Inkling Boy amiibo on Amazon last night, but today when I randomly went to the Toys R Us in Framingham they had like 15 of the Splatoon 3-packs, so I caved and bought that instead (cancelling the Amazon order). They look really good, the Squid is probably my favorite!

For having the teams decided at 'random', I seem to get teams stacked against me an awful lot. 90% of my matches have been ended with me being the highest scorer on the losing team :(

Not only does the squid look cool, it also has the best gameplay missions. It's super fun to speedrun the levels as a Kraken. I'm looking forward to seeing someone who's actually skilled do it, like a AGDQ or something.

the hardest part of single player is finding all the levels in the overworld

bobby2times posted:

I dont understand where the last 2 Zapfish are for the first single player mission. I keep redoing the mission over and over and dont see any other Zapfish other than the one at the end. Where the hell are the last 2 Zapfish?

codenameFANGIO posted:

Which is correct. I have done the first six levels or so and I do not get where the hell the rest are.

Each level has one Zapfish, to enter the next level you need to find the invisible Tea Kettle and ink it. The "save X more Zapfish" message is how many more you need to save before you can fight the next boss. The entire single player map is split into 4 islands I think, you can do the levels on an island in any order. Once the boss of the island is beaten, a cutscene points out the way to get to the next island (usually an ink rail).

If you're having trouble finding the levels, a couple of tips: typically they're about evenly spaced apart, there's a map on the Gamepad that helps a lot. I believe there's a cursor change if you point at one, so if you see your cursor change when you're running around try shooting. Also, ink shows on the Gamepad map, so if you fire ink everywhere you'll know where you've been and where you still need to look. Some of the levels require platforming to get to because they're above or below the island.

Can you jump over the roller? I thought I did it a couple times as a human, never as a squid. Wish it had instant replay so I could see what I'm doing.

I've been enjoying this game a lot, and I've finally reached level 10. I've basically been playing with just the basic Splattershot Jr. and I loved the havoc I could cause with the bubbler, and I've tried the Kraken Roller a bit and I enjoyed moving around the stage as an overgrown squid. So I'm just curious what other weapon sets might be fun to mess around with.

Couple of pointers.
- Squid Beacons. They're the little # tag looking things on your minimap. You can jump to them if a teammate drops one. :argh:
- You can jump to a team mate ANY time you like. You do not have to be on the starting circle platform.
- If you are using the Krak-on Roller, when you transform into the :krakken: remember to jump! Jumping attacks the opposition and kills them. Too many people just swimming around spreading ink.
- Team cat

This is super good thing to remember. If you're in an area that doesn't need help, jump to an area you might be useful. ALSO and probably more importantly, jump the gently caress away if you are gonna die and have no options.

Other things I learned:

- Stealth is really good for defense play. Outside of echolocation, you are 100% invisible in squid form if you stay still.
- Charging of your special weapon really goes up when you kill people. It only takes three kills before you're charged on most weapons, whereas it would be 30 seconds of painting otherwise.
- Jumping as human form is surprisingly effective for evading squirt guns.
