For sucking with the roller, you consistently scored top of your team. Thank god for putting sprinklers in places you couldn't reach.

I like it better when we work together though. It owns.

I *think* there's some soft team balancing, since it seemed like the top two scorers didn't seem to be on the same team the next match, which means we were usually on different teams :P

I don't want to wait until august for teams though, that kind of sucks

Yup. Wait until you get the last scroll and discover Judd's sad, horrible secret.

How do you unlock the Callie/Marie fight? I've seen people talking about them being an unlockable fight, but I'm not sure how you'd get it.

I know I said I prefer using Rollers, but the .52 Gal won me over. Especially the Deco version, that thing is amazing (Seekers and Inkstrike on an already great weapon = yes please).

I'm 99% sure that was just a dumb rumour based on someone's poorly-titled YouTube video, which made people think the squid sisters were the final boss. The video title actually refers to the phase of the final boss when the sisters do a background music override.

It's ok, but only because its actual function in turf war is free inking of the map after the timer has run out.

The inkstrike is only good when you use it thoughtfully. It should go off in a spot that has enemy players congregated and will be difficult for them to reclaim.

A lot of people just drop it in the biggest patch of enemy turf on the map, where there isn't necessarily any fighting happening, and it'll get painted over in no time. Don't do that unless the match is literally on the final countdown, in which case absolutely do it because it's hilarious.

I just wanted to say how cool and floppy Squid form is when dry land. They did a great job animating them to actually bend to match the ground under them.


Also, a thing related to the Sunken Scrolls: The jingle that plays when a train arrives at the station in the background of Inkopolis is the song you find on one of the scrolls :allears:

Stupid question about the Inkstrike: does the Special Duration Up perk do anything to it? Like, make the tornado last longer or something? Because that would actually be pretty neat.

Yeah, that song is also the one sung to interrupt DJ Octavio and is part of the credits as well. It's very neat and has been stuck in my head the past few days.

So far my favorite maps are the warehouse and the underpass because they're very open and fun, and my least favorite maps are the mall and the oil rig because they're chokepoint meat grinders.

It's great for taking out those chargers who are camping up high, or for firing into the middle of a battle while people are occupied shooting each other. It has some really nice situational uses and I get a bunch of kills with it every game.

It's also really great if another player on the team has the Echo Locator. There was someone painting our base area on urchin underpass earlier, and thanks to an echo locator I was able to drop an inkstrike right on their head from all the way over near their own base.

The aerospray rg charges specials so fast that I get inkstrike kills right at the beginning before the two teams have even made contact, just by looking at the map and seeing where their paint is currently expanding.

Just in Splatoon? Or is it your Wii U in general?

I know some routers have issues with having too many devices saved as "hey, these things have connected to me and gotten IPs at one point or another" and clearing out all those and reconnecting the devices you're actually actively using can improve performance.

The Wii U in general. I don't think it's the number of devices since that's like, 4-5, but I guess I might as well try it.

I love this game as well as Smash 4 but I have never had as much trouble with online as I have with this console.

Ink strike is at least cool but i hate the inkzooka. Its too slow to rapidfire, doesn't cover a lot of ground, and the shot misses a gap right where you're standing so it doesn't even leave you a straight line of ink to swim through. Ive not found a lot of situations outside of tight corrridors, and the seekers handle those well enough already.

Someone managed to sneak near my team's base in the final 30 seconds and paint a dick. Times like this I wish Nintendo added a replay function.

Are there any weapons that have the kraken special other than the roller? I don't really like using the roller but being able to turn into a killer squid is too much fun for me to use anything else.

Also I didn't expect Nintendo to be so clever with the mii verse posts. Them showing up on stages as graffiti is one of my favorite things about this game. Keep getting shot while I look at stupid squid puns.

I usually get the most use out of it hitting people who are above me since the tornado it shoots is so tall. Plus it goes through walls. It's not the greatest super but I do all right with it and the Tentatek Splattershot.

On the mall stage the Kraken is fantastic. If you can get near the enemy teams side - Release the Kraken and you can climb up to their base which is usually undefended and paint the stage red*

*colour may vary.
