It's obvious why it wasn't a release map: If people played it first they probably wouldn't be able to wrap their loving heads around it. Also it's interesting how all of the starting maps rewarded the same couple weapons to different degrees while the two staggered release maps reward completely different playstyles (more so on splatzones than turf wars though).

Edit: Yahtzee enjoying an online multiplayer game is high praise from him. Even his curmudgeon rear end is no match for the awesome that is Splatoon.

Ometeotl posted:Gotta say, I'm really not feeling Kelp Dome yet. Its pretty chaotic as theres three spots to fight the other side from and the grating. Its also compact leading to a lot of fighting back and forth in the center which means lots of points. I got 1300 points with an aerospray on it and thats before adding in win bonus.

Kelp is the first map where I've seen everyone on a team earn over 1200 points

Skatepark is one of my favorite Ranked map for Blaster because if you roll out straight forward and slide left off the narrow path in front of the pillar you can lob a point sensor onto the enemy zone and tag whoever is there every time. If you hold the left yard you can stop people coming in from the left halfpipes, bombard the enemy point safely from around the corner, you can control half the pillar with splash, kill whoever is on the enemy's narrow path and the swim up to the grate overtop the point if you want and control their middle threshold area. A Blaster in the left yard controls so much of the skate park it's disgusting.

Not a Children posted:Kelp is the first map where I've seen everyone on a team earn over 1200 points That's the thing about Kelp Dome, there is always SOMETHING to paint it seems. Other maps have you slowly inching your way towards the opponents base, but sometimes I found myself just going crazy with paint right in front of their base while everyone was in the middle trying to fight over the middle ground.

I just started ranked and have been having a grand old time splatting everyone in Kelp Dome who tries to take the walkway to the point from below it. I think the .52 deco is my new favorite weapon.

ComradeCosmobot posted:This isn't 100% true. When Port Mackerel came out, it was pinned as one of the two Turf War maps for 6 cycles (24 hours) but didn't appear in ranked until the 24 hours were up.

Tried playing with the brush, and somehow it just clicked this time around. That thing is a beast. The fact you can ink places fast with the swing makes it on par with the aerospray. Add the sprinkler and the inkstrike and you've got a lean mean inking machine. Getting 1000p in Kelp is nothing peculiar, but when you hit that limit on other maps... Wow. Rollers were never my thing, but this will do.

People are trying to say that your team's spawn displays on the gamepad map in the lower left corner every time, as a convenience. No matter which team you're on, everyone sees their own team in the lower left. Unrelated, but you've probably never been put on the "Bad Guys" team either.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "Left" too. I think you're trying to say "the team that manages to take the ledges left of me always seems to win." Because their left is the same as your right and the right side is easy and intuitive to take when you're on Mall, while the left has gratings separating various paintable ledges so fewer people are willing to directly intercept "their right" that way.

(Maybe not the first one though) Both of you are correct. Here's a list of maps you fight Octolings/Octostriker + Octarian Troops on: Kelp Dome (DLC Map for Multiplayer, Octolings) Blackbelly Skatepark (Is a level in Story Mode twice: Once with Octolings, once with Octostriker) Saltspray Rig (Octolings) Urchin Underpass (Octostriker) Bluefin Depot (DLC Map for Multiplayer, is a level in Story Mode twice: Once with Octolings, once with Octostriker) Inkopolis Tutorial Stage (Octostriker) Only the last one is not a multiplayer map. (Also, each of them either take place at dawn or night when just about all Inklings are asleep, which makes perfect conditions for Octarian invasion attempts... except maybe around Splatfest.)

Supercar Gautier posted:Any perk that can show up as a sub-perk can stack, but you get diminishing returns. Also, fast movement only works while not firing, and does not speed up rollers. People keep saying this but I'm pretty sure it specifically states in that guide that it does apply while firing, but not rolling. I'm about to get into work tho so I can't double check. I'm pretty sure.

That's the same walkspeed state you enter whenever you click fire on a Blaster, it feels like it's a bit less planted in place to strafe and shoot but I can't say for sure without recording a side-by-side comparison or something. There's just so much to discover about this wonderful game

Kelp dome is awesome and I like the large play area mixed with the unique center point capture mechanic for ranked. Lots of good mobility options, places to shove deployables, jumping becomes important, lots of ways to use or avoid super moves. I also had several 22+ frag rounds, the first of which on kelp when it dropped, so that gave a good first impression.

I for one would really like more clothes that change color to match your team color the way the Urchins Jersey does. Right now it's the only one, which is very strange for a game with so many potential team colors.
