Also, I'm so gonna rock the Barcelona jersey with the soccer cleats like the goddamned nerd I am.

e: Just like the promo image. Also I just noticed the soccer jerseys have captain's armbands and that is amazing.

This will absolutely not be in until the NX sequel. In the Iwata asks they specifically talk about making the inklings identifiable as a new IP and having a unique look to them. Its why we only have 1 hairstyle per squidgender too.

I know people like to hype about this constantly, but I don't think this is a possibility. I mean, the headgear clips badly with the octoling head. And where are the male octolings, anyway?

Eh, it wouldn't be hard to redo their hair. And the Octolads already exist if the DJ is any indication.

It'd be one hell of an update.

Dear Deidre...
Whoa, a Barcelona kit and a Mod parka. Did not see either of them coming, but well played Nintendo.

The new levels look like they are really going to emphasise the platforming elements of the game, which is a good thing. And the direct mentioned there will be updates until at least January, so fingers crossed for octolings. (although I'm more excited for the beach wedding and office stages)

[ediit] WTF is this all about?

Nintendo has been making Zelda for thousands of years and they still can't get Link's hat to not clip through his shield. Their gently caress level is zero.

Well, they changed the hat to a hood for the new Zelda.

Takes the expected route of going over the water. After getting shat on repeatedly on this map I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of the new map.

People can attack from so many different directions.

clipping in games is extremely
1) minor in the grand scheme of things and
2) resource expensive to deal with if you want everything perfect

From the patch notes, it's based on your winrate from the past 10 Ranked matches, with (I'm assuming) the K/D ratio being a tiebreaker. The winrate score is reset if you promote or demote.

I was just farming money on turf war tonight to pay for all the new gear there is to buy now and I noticed after losing like 10 straight games in a row I got put into a pool of players who were notably worse and I won basically every match for the rest of the night. Has this feature always been in the game and I just was never this terrible before to notice it?

I think it's based on the rank of players in teams. For example, if you play in a team of A against a full S team, winning would give you a bigger score. And losing would lose you just a small amount.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about a player's position in the team table after the match. For example, if I had a good round and went 8/0, that would probably be enough to put me at the top of my team for that round. Now I have to string together wins (something I'm rather inconsistent at) if I want a good chance at that top slot.

I could have misunderstood his question, however.

One Nation, Under God.
Here are the patch notes:

quote:

New Gear:
New gear has been added, which will appear in the in-game shop at random.
Ranked Match Results Pages

Adjustments:
Changed the display of the results screen in Ranked Battle. Players will be listed in the order of their winning percentages in the last 10 matches for the current mode (Wins - Losses).

Previously, players were listed in the order of the number of enemies they splatted. This adjustment was made since there are other ways to contribute to the team's victory that cannot be measured in numerical terms.

The winning percentage will not be recorded in Regular Battle, Splatfest, Squad Battle, and Private Battle, so the results page will remain the same.

When the users' Ranks go up, the winning percentage will be reset.

Battle Adjustments:
Fixed the issue in which the blasts from Blaster weapons don't quite reach the opponent even though the direct hit marker (x) is displayed while taking aim.

Adjusted the amount of damage that rollers inflict when rolling over Splash Shields to match the amount of damage they inflict when rolling over opponents.

Adjustments were made in Tower Control so that Sprinklers placed on the towers break when they hit the ground (The Sprinklers previously only broke if they were placed on the ground and were hit by the towers)

Other:
Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

The art museum is pretty center heavy. The flow heavily gravitates to the center, since you have to swim to the central spinner and along the catwalks to get to the other areas. That's at least with turf war. Still, it's pretty fun looking with the art, and the way the spinners hum in the manner of artsy ambient you might hear in some fancy art museums. Inking certain floors also reveal hidden artworks.

Splat Zones really puts the engine to it's limits on d'Alfonsino. All those bombs that have to be drawn dips the FPS to about 15 frames.

Yes, this is what I meant. And thanks for posting the patch notes, PaletteSwappedNinja! It makes sense, and I'm glad it's not focused on splat/splatted anymore.

Had some great fun on D'alfonsino rainmaker, so many levels to go about it and one time my team managed to get a slam dunk. My last match was a pretty bad loss, then i felt better because the squid at the bottom of our team had 0/14 that fucker.

Museum is fine in Turf War, Tower Control, and Rainmaker, but in Splatzones the map falls apart. The frame rate goes to poo poo and every match devolves into complete chaos, with each team taking turns punching each other in the dick.

On a completely unrelated note, the Wii U gamepad sure is fragile, huh?

Thinking it might be time to give up on the idea of reaching S+ with the krak-on. Ever since the latest nerfs, I've been feeling like the odds are just stacked against it now, so long as lag is still heavily prevalent. Too many times lately I've been hitting people square in the face with a flick from a very short distance away and they don't die. I'm guessing it's because one of us is lagging behind and they're actually off to the side more and out of the new 1-hit kill range. Completely frustrating.

Also annoying is the fact that I now seem to be entered into more and more A or A+ lobbies than ever before. Which I wouldn't care so much about if it didn't affect the total points given after a round. Kinda nonsense that I'm being forced to play in matches where I'll only earn 2 points if I win or go down 6 or 7 points if I lose.

The lag tonight is really, really bad. Like worse than usual to the point where I just spontaneously blow up due to some unseen force.

I shot a guy in Kraken with a direct hit blaster shot and he died somehow. People are falling off ledges then reappearing back where they fell from, it's nuts.
