sharrrk posted:i do not like splat zone's penalty system at all Yeah same. Also the same weapons that were good in Turf Wars are still insanely good because covering the immediate area surrounding your target in ink is still a great way to get splats, and you only have precious seconds to actually completely smother the splat zone in ink while the other team is down 3 v 4 and chargers/blaster still suck at this.

Splat Zones owns and I've almost climbed past C rank using the Zapper and Kelp Splatterscope.

I played a couple ranked matches and had fun even when I was losing, but I can see how it could get frustrating if you're stuck on a consistently losing team every round. That's why there's two modes, I guess! New map is good, new gun is good. As for me, I must've got in at the perfect time for all the high-level Japanese players to show up, because I got my rear end kicked all around.

I just took a Splat Zones Saltspray Rig round with an 18-4 kill tally  . The next highest was like 4 or 5 kills.

Got to B-, not really liking control points. Least not on the maps offered. Tried the new map too and boy rollers are stupid to counter. There's not a lot of room to see them coming and just seems kinda eh as well honestly.

Splatzone is more a slugfest if nothing else. I am withholding judgment, but it is a change of pace at least. Getting some nasty lag right now. In my last couple games. Never had any problems till now so I am not thinking too much of it.

Mines and inkstrikes are very good in this mode. the satellite things are good too to put in a safe space because super jumping into the splat zone is a death sentence.

Holy poo poo ranked is good. We had a close match with sudden death with a shitload of enemy points remaining and the turf their's (so obviously no victory), so I snuck behind enemy lines and splattered as much turf as I could and managed to steal us the victory via backdoor inking. Also all or nothing is acceptable : it keeps people who aren't going to try out since they won't get points unless they believe they can win, and the bonus points is enough to keep people who even only expect a 30%ish rate of victory or so to make about as much (if not more) than normal. mabels big day posted:Mines and inkstrikes are very good in this mode. the satellite things are good too to put in a safe space because super jumping into the splat zone is a death sentence. I prefer shields, it helped me get so many full team kills. ALSO MAJOR PROTIP TO EVERYONE - IF YOU HAVE GRENADES AND ARE JUMPING INTO A CONTESTED AREA, THROW IT AT YOUR FEET AS YOU JUMP IN.

Ranked owns. Just had my first match where it came down to points. And it really highlights how important movement is. I've dipped around more dudes that are focused on the zone than I did in normal versus. Its also interesting that obviously you want to focus on getting control, but it may be worth it to spray the rest of the level and build your special. I like it.

Holy poo poo, just came back from the enemy team getting down to 7, and we swept it out from under them. That win brought me to C rank, lets see how long I can keep it.

I've won enough games to get to C rank, including one where I had 8 kills and 0 deaths. I still think Splat Zones sucks and I'd much rather have ranked Turf War.

I was sure we had won a splatzone match by a second, but apparently the other team earned five more points in the score somehow.  Splatzone is freaking intense, tho, matches end before I notice.

I don't think so, but beyond glancing up at the 7 on their side I was fully distracted by the carnage, it was on saltspray and that's about all I can say definitely. If you see me on, I'm Chance on there too.

Apparently some of the maps have two control zones so those will be a bit more interesting, probably.

Suspicious Dish posted:it seems like the strategy to splat zones is "the team who has more inkblasts wins" Nah, at least on Saltspray it's easy to see them coming, back up then spray at it getting control right back. I'd fear tons of bombs worse because there's no real warning for that. Ranked owns (except my internet doesn't wanna cooperate and I lost all my damned progress through disconnects) and the new map owns especially using the .52 Gal Deco with the Seekers. Throw those puppies down the aisle and follow about a foot back and watch as suckers peek around at it only to get a SPLAT to the back of the head.

I just realized something: With both the Inklings and the Octolings, four of the cephalopod arms become the human form arms and legs while any remaining cephalopod limbs become part of the human form's "hair". Those four little bits on the back of the Inkling's head? Those are presumably the remaining squid form arms. Don't ask me why the in-game models for both the Inklings' squid form and the Octolings' octopus form each have only four visible arms, it may have just been for the sake of design simplicity. Especially since Octavio himself has eight arms: one pair holding the wasabi stems, the second pair crossed with an x scar on the left arm of this pair, the third pair acting as essentially legs, and the four pair just behind the 'legs' acting as coat tails.

The skill of the people in ranked battles is definitely way way WAY above the friendly bunch. I really had to stop loving around and get good to get back to my usual rear end kicking.

The thing that gets me about ranked is that, without sounding like an rear end in a top hat, I am pretty good at the game. I can consistently be top of the winning class with 5 - 0 or more. I can at least do that. But when playing ranked, it's just a swamp of, who can get where fastest, and how long can you hold it. The inkstrike may help a small bit for a few seconds, but there's no way to coordinate with team mates aside from spamming the Cmon button. I was having fun in the regular turf mode battles, but either these maps, ranked overall, or the lack of voice chat, some more lucrative method of communication is making me not like this at all.

I like ranked just because I can use the blaster without feeling worthless due to its poor ink spreading relative to automatic weapons/rollers. The custom blaster is really fun because you know where the enemy is almost always gonna be coming from, so you can just chuck point sensors at them and then blow them up with ease as they jump into the ring of death. Sure sucks when people on my team refuse to get in the loving zone to help me spread ink though.

Suspicious Dish posted:just inkblast at the last minute of the cap and give them a giant penalty As long as your team isn't loving around an Inkblast shouldn't take full control to them if you have control of it. I've only ever see it knock you out then either you get it back or they get it based on what goes on after. That being said one round those motherfuckers had 2 stocked up and they just salted the earth until nothing stood.

Will Splat Zones ever be a normal mode or is it going to be tied to ranked mode forever? It would be cool for modes to rotate like maps.

I think Nintendo will eventually make it like a normal FPS where you can choose your own maps, modes, etc. Eventually. Maybe in Spla2n.
