Do you really ink that will happen? From what I played, it seems inkredibly unlikely that the hype will die that quickly. I'd give it until at least the twelfth. I think something is coloring your view.

I really like the Splatter Pro myself. I tried the .52 Gal, but it doesn't seem to cut it right.

I do get killed a lot by Aerosprays. Is that weapon really that good?

Roland Jones posted:

Aerosprays are terrible at killing unless they get up close, in which case they'll rip you apart; even with how fast they shoot their spread means that at a distance most weapons will kill them first or simultaneously in an exchange. Their real strengths are how much ink they spread (they outperform rollers in this regard even), their specials (which they get quickly thanks to how much they spread ink), and in the case of the MG its sub and special helping shore up its weaknesses offensively.

So, keep an eye out, don't let them get close to you, and don't hang out in/near enemy ink because they'll squid through it, get right up in your face, and splatter you.

ty for the tips

I'm still learning a lot of the ins-and-outs of all the equipment. Is there a definitely guide for role-based loadouts? Like, if you want to be a hunter or a territory-coverer?

All the other updates have gone live at like 7 pst so thats actually 11 hours? Also every new map has been forced onto rotation for like four cycles so NA splatfest might only take place on Bluefin and one new map every four hours.

In Japan, the maps did not rotate for Splatfest.

Splatoon comic, no idea what it's about. Maybe it's just an ad about the game. Read from right to left.

It's a super cute and funny comic about the general basics of Splatoon.

I honestly hate the idea of full matchmaking from the get-go. Jump into a lobby with random people you don't know and have fun actually being a part of the Splatoon community. Everybody's playing the same game, everybody's having fun, and people are literally learning to strategize and communicate (without voice chat!) with strangers. It's a great experience!

Does anyone play without motion controls on? They're really disorienting and annoying. And kinda too sensitive.

Also, does any of my character progression in single player carry over into MP? Or is it just gear and stuff?

A friend of mine does, because he gets really active when he plays shooters. I tried it without, and it was the worst.

And only the Hero/Octo gear carries over.

a cat will poop in a box and bury it in the sand

a dog will dig through that sand to find and eat that poop

a lot of cats are pooping in boxes (and are pretty good at it!), but almost twice as many dogs are digging for and eating their poop (not quite as good at it but only, like, 2% off)

grats, team dog

With the number of players playing it's not like individual skill matters much for a splatfest anyway. I won about 80% of my matches and spent a lot of time on it but Team Cat only had a 1% or less difference. If the losing team got no reward at all I'd probably feel a little disappointed but regardless of reward I had a fun time playing splatfest with friends in the room and handing off the gamepad and that was worth more than any silly video game seashells.

So the other night I was playing a ranked battle with some people and we wound up playing 4 vs. 3 for one game-- but apparently when you do that, there's a generic 'player' squid that shows up in the rankings at the end of the game with 0 points despite not having been in the match.

And then I found that squid in my plaza!

Actually yes, I misspoke. Beast Machines was my jam. Beast Wars was like a crappy unaired pilot except it...was aired...for multiple seasons...

Beast Wars introduced the best Megatron the entire franchise has ever known, had the not messed up version of Silverbolt, AND had the best opening song in that era of cartoons. DUH-DA-DA-DA-DAA DUH-DA-DA-DA-DA-DAA BAH-WAH-NAH. Beast Machines was a great closer to the most golden of TF eras, but do not front on the awesome Reboot-glory of Beast Wars.

Even if Nintendo doesn't go for more single-player campaign stuff, I'd gladly go for a set of challenge missions like MK:DS, along with an achievement set to work towards. I'm actually surprised Nintendo hasn't done anything with achievements in their games yet.

Aren't the amiibo challenges kind of exactly that? Also, I hope Nintendo never does ANYTHING with achievements.
