drat, tower control on Camp Triggerfish is brutal. We had a bad start once when the opposing team pushed their tower to just 1 point of ours before we took back control of the tower. Some might have lost hope at that moment, hoping at best some consolation points - but not our team! We knocked that tower RIGHT BACK AT THEM and SO HARD they're still picking up their teeth from under the pier. Booyah! Or as we say here: Nice! Riding that tower though... that's a loving death trap. If you're not splatted soon enough, then the water will get you when you either miscalculate your jump, outmaneuver yourself or you forget the knockback force of the inkzooka. Goddamit.

I really don't like riding that tower, I've seen what the caress of a rapid blaster does there.

Hey, does the sprinkler have any enemy ink canceling/overwriting (if around it) or shielding (if some distance behind it)? I've always wondered if I could hack up a warning system or a really poor ink wall instead of using it mostly as annoyance or bait.

Bean posted:Who the hell likes Walleye Warehouse best? Walleye Warehouse and Kelp Dome are my favorite maps. I can use any of my favorite weapons there and they're great! The maps also flow really well for Turf War and can be nail-bitingly close even if one side gets hammered for the first couple minutes.

DreamShipWrecked posted:I am mostly surprised that 70% of the people surveyed don't play other shooter games. I guess the game really is tapping a new market. FPS/TPS are more popular in Japan than they've ever been but they're still nowhere near as popular as they are in the rest of the world, and I'm pretty sure Splatoon has outsold the biggest-selling COD, Halo, etc over there. It's also neck-and-neck with Smash U sales, is still high in the charts and seems to have had a lasting effect on hardware sales, too. It's a genuine hit and even Nintendo didn't see it coming.

Elderbean posted:Moray Towers is definitely my least favorite, suprised it didn't make the list. So I died a lot falling off edges at first and pretty much every battle consisted of running down to the bottom and getting sniped by a guy I had no way of approaching or getting around. This was the pattern pretty much whether my team won or not- a grindy clusterfuck that was distinctly unfriendly to a new player (if there was a way to deal with someone sniping a chokepoint, it sure wasn't something I could figure out with the tools available to me). Fortunately other maps are way more fun and I think it was probably just that map that was loving with me.

Eiba posted:I actually just got the game today, and my first five battles were on that map. There's side walls you can ink and climb on that map and multiple places to drop down, my advice is to use that recon mode on every new map you see (3 minutes of alone time in the map) you'll be able to explore new routes and peace. That's how I found out camp triggerfish has inkable gates that lower 2 minutes into the match so your route options widen.

I love when Walleye's in the rotation and feel like goofing off 'cause it's open enough that all I'd do is equip my .52 Gal Deco and send out Seeker after Seeker after Seeker

The squiffer sound effect grosses me out though. Also bluefin sucks and I hate it. It's way way way too small and the first 2 minutes feel completely pointless with how breakneck things can turn around.

It says "renovation" in the tweet, so we might be getting rebalanced maps? Would be good to see improved versions of Arowana, Urchin and Port Mackerel for sure.
