Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

What I want is a push-the-cart mode where you have to spray at some mcguffin that travels along a track all the way to the other team's base, while preventing the other team from pushing it back. Seems like it could be pretty intense.

Literally that is coming, its called capture towers or something like that. Pretty much payload from TF2.

Instead of moving to the enemy's base though its a single thing that moves in a circular track around the level and both teams try to hold it as long as possible. So its kinda like payload race with a single payload?

I prefer throwing sprinklers into unpainted corners of our base after I get splatted the first time. That way the base gets painted and I get back to the fighting pretty quick since I can just zip there in squid form while also recovering ink.

If you're not playing a roller or don't have sprinklers, just gently caress off from your own base and go fight in the no man's land.

Ugh, I lost a match today. The only won I've lost so far out of the ~20 I've played online. The Splattershot Jr. Custom owns, echolocator sounds useless but is far from it. I've been able to use it to sneak attack players who were going through side paths as squids. Booyah!

Edit: I am still trying to find a good use for Disruptor bombs though

Splatoon really doesn't want me to play on the Rig, does it? I managed to get a single match on it yesterday for the maps changed. Other than that, it's never been in rotation when I've played even though I've had the game since release.

The Splatoon direct said "Stand on the tower in the center of the stage and it will start moving on a rail toward enemy territory. The team who pushes through the tower and through the goal first wins." It sounds like pushing into the enemy's base probably is the win condition.

Disruptor Bombs are like mini echo locators, right? They're useful for tossing in the direction of evasive opponents.

That makes more sense - I guess I just usually use them when I'm using echolocator as well.

I wonder how fast and far some 3 star gear will germinate thanks to being able to use Spike to get one. Like I know I ordered a gas mask the moment I saw someone walking around with one on, I can only imagine it's setting off a chain reaction when people see my Inkling wearing it in their plaza and wanting it. It was hella expensive though so that could probably deter people.

Dosvidanya is correct about the Disruptors. Chill Penguin, what you described was the Point Sensor, which is like a burst bomb that puts the Echolocator effect on anyone in the blast radius.

It's dumb. There's a crate right after the second propeller platform you have to shoot that drops it.

I have all 3 amiibos, and they each seem to have unique challenges? The boy was "complete singleplayer levels using the roller instead", and the girl had the same, but charger weapons.

I heard it was total of 20 so maybe its just redoing some single player missions with certain ones? My three pack and others and all that are still in the mail because Canada never gets amiibos so I bought all mine online this wave, (only to find out our stores got plenty after-all )
:ohdear:

Does anyone else want them to patch out the ugly robot armor from the Squid and put in something else?

Also how do I make sure my Miiverse drawing posts shows up on my Inkling in my friends Plazas? Am I just messing up by drawing the post right before the server changeover and that kicks it out? I had assumed from my first drawing I put up that it would stay there until I made a new post.

Are we still offering ideas for thread titles that won't get used?

My suggestion is Splatoon: We go hard in the paint

I am absolutely loving the Krak-on roller right now. Love using the kraken to get as far to the other side as possible and then finding somewhere subtle to hide a beacon. I'm surprised this is working as well as it is tbh, maybe I'm just not playing against very good people at the minute.

They each have 20 challenges, which are beat some of the single player levels with the Roller (Boy), Charger (girl) or speed run them (squid). Also you have to beat the bosses with those conditions. They unlock good equipment and I guess a second loading screen game.

Everything in single player is harder with the roller. Everything. The bosses are especially dumb.
