I mean, I've been playing ranked pretty heavily and I've had personal vendettas out of people who would be on my team one match and not the next.

noirstronaut posted:Yeah, I used to rock the vest, but ninja squid + stealth jump is almost too good to be real. I'm not sure Ninja Squid is as valuable as Cold-Blooded, given that most good teams are going to have Echolocation on, making it trivial to spot someone with Ninja Squid. Cold-Blooded, on the other hand, dodges that bullet, even if you don't get perfect camo as a squid.

i like team shuffling since it lets me take revenge sometimes on the bastards who play the game like call a doot doot and camp while the enemy goes on an inking rampage theres no taunt button but i have taken to doing a little jumping dance on their grave

I've seen plenty of memorable foes show up on my team the next match. They absolutely definitely shuffle between matches.

Finally got the game, playing on my roommate's WiiU. It feels way more like I'm fighting the controls rather than the other team far too often, but it's still real fun. The music is the absolute tits, too.

I've found the motion controls better than the sticks, but I've not had an easy time with either. Time will tell!

If you're having troubles with the controls, playing the single-player really helped me master them. It gets you really comfortable playing the game in lower-stress situations than online, and also forces you to basically do every type of control/movement at different points. I noticed a significant improvement in how I played after doing the first 12 levels.

Stick controls felt better to me in the testfire and using gyro controls made me feel like a drunken mess, but somehow when I started the full game it felt like the complete opposite and I can't play with stick controls anymore. I still wish they'd let you use both, so you could just use gyros for fine-tune aiming.

I noticed a significant improvement in how I played after doing the first 12 levels. Same for me. Also, I use gyro most of the time but I end up using the right stick for horizontal camera movement a lot to reorient myself, and at least for me it's nice that it's not also vertical because that's usually what makes me so inept with shooters. The gyro is an awesome alternative. Plus it reminds me of when I would wave around NES controllers when I was 10 as though it would actually make a difference during gameplay, except now it does!

I never noticed because I always just jack up the sensitivity on the camera and just use it for turning around. There's not too much vertical gameplay in Splatoon compared to other shooters, and the areas that have it don't require you to look so dramatically up or down. An option to enable vertical control with the sticks would be nice, though.

It took me a day but I'm basically completely down with the gyro controls now. Which is the opposite of what I expected.

If you visit Ammo Knights, he takes the blueprint and lets you buy it from him as long as you're fresh enough. (So it's basically like the Sunken Scroll blueprints you occasionally find.)

I finally clawed my way back into a C+. After four separate braindead teams who clustered in the Splat Zone and couldn't understand "What's the whooshing noise, oh it's an Inkstrike and I should ru- ", along with three disconnects arbitrarily eating my drat points  .Seriously though, a disconnect should only eat five points at most instead of the full ten. I know it's to stop people bailing when they're losing, but the simple truth is bad luck's gonna eat them far more often.

Yeah I'm returning this over lunch unless I somehow find a connectivity fix for this game. I really want to like it, but without functioning multiplayer it's a bit of a dead end for me...

Three times in the span of an hour or two's a rarity and the game out to piss me off personally. In-general, the connection's pretty stable

You should restart your router or try setting up your Wii U's internet connection again from scratch or something I've played probably 70+ games at this point and had 2 disconnects

I also wish disconnects were a little less punishing. When I get them, it's usually within the first fifteen seconds of a match. You're running around inking your base, and you notice that ink isn't appearing on the floor, then bam, A Communication Error Has Occurred. I even had one during the pre-match fly-by. It never even got to the point where it announced the teams. Still killed my vibe though.

Help Im Alive posted:You should restart your router or try setting up your Wii U's internet connection again from scratch or something This helped me. I was disconnecting/failing to connect almost constantly despite my internet seeming to be fine elsewhere. Created a fresh connection in my Wii U settings and disconnects have been much rarer now. I'm not getting the raving about the aerospray. Maybe I didn't use the right variant, but at least in the few matches I used it felt like it had really horrible reach and took too long to take anyone out, and while it seemed to spread paint nicely, it didn't feel insanely good. quote:also wish disconnects were a little less punishing.

This game brings out the worst OCD in me. I know I generally do best when I grab a blaster or the splattershot jr or the splattershot and I mad rush into enemy territory as soon as the match starts and I But I can't help but switch to the roller and spend a lot of time laying down ink all over our base to make sure ALL of it is covered. Blank spaces are unacceptable. Everything has to be perfectly painted....

I'm gonna double back on what I said before and say I like the rapid blaster more than the regular blaster. The extra range is important and the extra fire rate means its really easy to spam chokepoints. It's awful if you're not holding a position but it's really good if you are. That being said, everything is bad compared to the aerosprays.
