Is there a website or something that shows what levels are in the rotation and what ranked is? Starting the game up to see is a little bit of a pain in the rear end.

Also I feel like I haven't seen Moray Towers forever.

So do the miiverse posts show up more often if people like them more, or is it completely random and every random ten year old can draw way better than I can?

When you start the game up the initial plaza will show you what drawings you'll see for that session. Likewise if you draw something it'll circulate for as long as you're on but the second you turn the game off to go do something else it'll stop showing up.

I draw a lot in this game despite being a poo poo artist so it's something that I've noticed in my case :shobon:

I use two:

Official Nintendo Japan rankings show current Turf War stages (Ranked is the previous set): http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/agmj/stage/
This one is a little better as it lists both and works out your location and has a countdown too, but apparently has been wrong regarding ranked possibly?: https://splatoon.ink/

Tell me your secrets, for I am bad at the best weapon

Jump and arc your ink, start high, look low, swim forward, corridors are rough for you get to places with cover and fling ink everywhere, this is a gun fight and you have a knife. Throw sprinklers to cover areas enemies might come through so you're less likely to get blind sided, they also make great distractions, I've killed a lot of people by throwing a sprinkler then stabbing them in the back. Put them up HIGH, throw them on top of things, if you can put them on a ceiling, DO IT. On killing people, jump out of the ink and flick as fast as you can, it's pretty lethal, you can jump backwards when rollers come your way. Ink walls and jump out of them. If you see more than one person in a zone and you get spotted, LAY DOWN THE BRUSH AND BUG OUT. Once you have some distance, make a couple of ink puddles in different directions so they won't know for sure where you're coming from. Your special marks territory, the enemies will immediately clean them up so look at the map and see where enemy ink is being spread and nuke people there, or if you see your team moving back and forth like they're fighting on a spot, nuke what they're fighting, even if you don't kill, you're still giving them some temporary cover and room to maneuver.

Special advice: Saltspray rig, lay down your brush and go to that big area in the north immediately and spray ink all over the place, it's one of the best spots for an inkbrush in the game because you can get on top of those containers and ambush the crap out of people.

TLDR: Fight like a bastard, remember your ABCS(Always Be Chucking Sprinklers).

It's not wrong. It just shows the last 3 Turf War matches. I have no idea why people ever thought it was showing Ranked. They should learn to read Japanese :getin:

I don't get it. Aside from losing the goggles to show off kinda creepy eyes, what's the big deal?

A couple months ago, someone discovered a playable Octoling model and made a video showing it off. The model in question was clearly a beta (the eyes were glitching, the octopus form looked less like an actual octopus and more like a reskinned squid model which frankly didn't look right, hats phased through the hair, etc.) but the prospect of a playable Octoling got people excited since many wanted to play as Octolings.

This announcement makes it seem like Nintendo either saw how many wanted to play as Octolings or, given the beta model, anticipated that there was going to be a demand for playable Octolings.

Right, I was agreeing with you, but I was not clear.

And they should learn Japanese. That site hard codes the IDs to English, so when new maps launch they'll have to hot patch it :japan:

That's the Rainmaker for the mode of the same name. You have to grab it and take it to the enemy spawn, from what I remember of the announcement they made a while back.

That's the Rainmaker in the titular mode.

also I just noticed at the end of that commercial they're advertising Japan having more free testfires for an hour every day for an entire week.

Yeah the straw hat doesn't seem like it's on the disc and unused like some clothes. I assume we will see at least a few of the unused clothes available to buy in August, all of them with the exception of that one hat in the head gear section that one is....prrrrrobably not coming out.

Yeeaaahhhhh...probably not.

At least, I hope not. Splatoon doesn't need controversy.

Probably nobody told them it was problematic until a year or so ago, considering there's been one available to wear in the last three Animal Crossing games and Splatoon is staffed by many from that team, they most likely didn't even know there was a problem.

If they can have a Samurai Helmet, then they can have the Warrior Headdress

Also that new hat wold go perfect with my aloha shirt (that I never get to wear because of no matching hat) these shoes if it gets released, Green Rain Boots and the Ink bucket.

I hope they come out with more sunken scrolls somehow. I wanna know what the Inkling society found from our own extinct one to make them revere the bucket as a relic of war re-purposed for their battles.
