What does the Disruptor actually do if you hit an enemy with it? I think I've only had one confirmed hit, but it was against a guy with a charger who just kept slowly walking and charging his shots.

Not so great if they're actively shooting at you but it can help keep them from getting away.

Regy Rusty posted:It slows down their movement. Not so great if they're actively shooting at you but it can help keep them from getting away. I suspected that was the case. So the charger guy was basically unaffected. He ended up shooting me in the face while I stared at him trying to figure what the Disruptor did. They might be okay for sweeping out a sniper nest, though, since the sniper wouldn't be able to bail when you rushed him and there's not a ton of warning that the grenade is coming before it hits. New question: does anyone know whether the abilities on gear stack? For instance, if I had three items with Attack Up, would I get triple the bonus? I saw someone with a 4-star shirt that two had Defense Up bonuses on it.

Bown posted:Yeah Kraken rules. I wish it lasted just a little longer. The Kraken rules, the amiibo challenges are the best out of the three since you pretty much have unlimited use of the Kraken ability when you hold down the left trigger. The speed runs make the levels so much more difficult, yet satisfying!

I saw someone with a 4-star shirt that two had Defense Up bonuses on it. If you talk to Judd enough, he'll tell you that you won't get a double bonus for having two of the same ability. I think you do get a tiny bonus if you have the same ability several times, but I'd say it's better to just have as many different abilities as possible.

I love the loading screen you get when you launch the game. It's super cute and I think the only time I've noticed the top and bottom screen being different for a game.

I saw someone with a 4-star shirt that two had Defense Up bonuses on it. The bonuses from gear stack with diminishing returns. You can see this demonstrated with Defense Up when you test weapons. In the test zone, you know the side area with five little targets and three big ones? If you look at the three little targets in the center, you can see Defense Up stickers on them - one, two and three of them from left to right. Since the test zone displays the damage you're doing, you can measure how effective your weapon is against different defense stacks (don't know if they would stack more than three, or if the test zone is stacking primary or secondary defense ups). For instance, in one of my tests the Dual Squelcher can splat targets in four shots unless they stack three defense ups, in which case it takes five shots.

I think this is the only "shooter" where I like all of the maps. The only things I wish it had were more maps and modes (but that's coming), and that the plaza was full of actual people instead of their characters just standing around.

Had a few good matches with Andi last night. The echolocator and a Charger work pretty well together. But when we were against each other, I wish someone on my team could have used bombs to get you. Between the Mines and the Disruptor on the weapons I use, I can't do much to you with out doing some risky sneaking around.

Judd also says that the primary bonus is more powerful than the unlockables, which leads me to believe the diminishing effect won't be too aggressive or it'd render the small bonuses useless.

I'm still having a hard time figuring out whether I want to use sticks or the gyro. I'm doing really well with sticks right now but I've only been using the Splattershot Jr. and I can't get a handle on the charger at all. I think I'm going to just force myself to get use to the gyro controls for awhile otherwise I'm never going to use chargers.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I really don't like the mall map, because unlike the others its possible for one team to box the other in so they have no hope of a comeback. This. There are no alternate routes on that map, just a clusterfuck chokepoint with water on the sides (that drowns you for some reason even though you're a squid). It's definitely the weakest map in my opinion, but 4/5 ain't bad.

Mall is my favorite right now  Last night my girlfriend convinced me to use the roller. I didn't plan on it because GUNS but I ended up playing for 3 hours, getting tons of splats, more points than I ever have, and winning most of my games. It's a great weapons and it's so satisfying to roll smooth lines of paint around. Is ranked up yet?

I can confirm that you can get a "daily" bonus every time the maps rotate out. Just got my second 1400 SO HAWT bonus of the day.

That would make sense, yeah, but I have some doubts. My new shirt has the same special saver ability in both of its secondary ability slots, but I didn't notice a meaningful difference compared to just one slot. I guess it's for the better, since this way we won't be seeing instagib splattershots even if people manage to find gear with nothing but dmg+ abilities.

It's been pretty fast for me, I haven't noticed any difference. I'm kind of surprised at how many Japanese players I get matched up with (I'm in Europe) Like 50% of the players in my games are Japanese and I think it's like 4am there or something

  Splat Fest details. You can't play normal games while it's going on, and you can only play with players who pick the same thing you did against people on the other side. You get 2 Snails just for showing up, and the most you can get is 24 if you're dedicated to getting the highest rank and your side wins.

This is a pro tip, and what I would suggest as well if you're on the hunt for the 3 pack. I was near the Toys R Us in Framingham MA and they had at least 15+ of the Splatoon 3-packs, along with Wario, Pacman, Silver Mario and Greninja. I ended up naming my Squid amiibo Squidward, because why not! I think that amiibo is my favorite of the three because I'm imagining the green paint as the slime from Double Dare Jonny_Rocket fucked around with this message at 18:24 on May 31, 2015 |

I think in the long run this worked to my advantage, as since they limited it to one per person there was plenty of stock leftover from Friday's launch
