Time to throw my PC in the trash lmao

Can we bring over our old data I wonder, my squid girl's been with me through thick and thin

im just about finished levelling every item to 3 stars so this means no. nintendo will make me do it all from the beginning again

also there are like five generic black tees right now in splatoon 1 so i dont think its so ridiculous to assume that the shirt might determine if the character gets token gloves/wristband again

A simple menu could work for hopping around the map and ink strikes.

the military industrial complex disguised in the form of athletic sport to train squid soldiers is heir apparent

also the radiation poisoning effects are felt much more in the future of splatoon 1 so everyone is shorter

Been thinking about Nintendo Switch lately and how it operates: Since the TV dock-in basically renders the touchscreen inoperable, it looks like they'll have to change the map system. Probably some kind of button combination to superjump, but that's not as convenient as just looking down and touching the map. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

it will be quite safe to assume there will be a pro controller/joycon analogue/connector for both splatoon and smash bros again given the amount of rev they can generate from a dedicated fanbase

I might just be bad at math, but I can't figure out how the change of possession penalty time is calculated in splatzones.

how long the one team had it before it went
control > nobody > other team's control

its based on the number of tickets, so if you had it from 100 all the way down to 1/2 and then lost it completely, you'll have some massive number to count through like 75

if you mean the actual number if multiplies by, that's supposed to be part of the magic and i'm not sure they want us to fully understand
the reserve tickets also seem to count down at like 2x the speed sometimes, its wonky

2/3rd, I think, of the total amount of actual clock time you ticked off since the beginning or your last full possession.

So if you knock off 10 real seconds and lose it you get 6 fake ones tacked on

That fan speculation art thingy with the game-specific joycons could explain the jumping. There could be some sort of unique button or whatnot to allow jumping. Maybe.

Or just MASH Z - initiates Jump (you crouch)
MASH Z - cycles through targets on map during wait time
JUMP!


It could easily work.

There's no way we saw a real playable version in that trailer, though, because there was no map at all and thats unpossible

A transparent overlay of the map appears on screen, the inkstrike position starts where you are, and you manuever it's position with the right thumb stick. Launch with whatever button. It's not at all as good at the touch pad, but it works with other games so it seems like a go to for this.

I'm guessing the camera will pull back and up over the map while aiming with a thumbstick. Same for Superjumping.

Or you can aim using the wiimote built in the joycons. I don't know.

Or just the gyro that's being used to aim at any given time already.

For superjumps i'd think of something like holding r a few seconds and then you can double tap on the d-pad/c buttons to jump to one of your three companions or home, and a map overlay would happen, highlighting the party member you're picking on the first tap so you can pick someone else if you realize they're not somewhere you want to be at.
