I mean, not enough to consider a wii or wiiU but you know, enough to slightly regret not having either.

Well I should hope it wouldn't make you get a Wii since you wouldn't be able to play Splatoon on it.

That said you should get a Wii U.

If walls don't count, why don't the %'s add up to 100 more often? I was in one where the % went "back" from the teaser, down to something like 12%, but I haven't seen it add up to over 90.

It would be very difficult for literally every inch of floor to be inked.

I still think octopuses should have been the playable characters. Octopi don't deserve to be villains. Octopodes are way more lovable than squids.

And it didn't sell out in seconds like some of the others. I was actually able to get an order placed. Yay!

I'm having a blast with the game. Mostly been doing single player, but I played some Turf War too and got to level 5. One time my team won handily and only at the end did I realize that we'd had one player be AFK/disconnected the entire time. So that was pretty cool.

I definitely feel the annoyance with the way the stage selection currently works. Having it limited to 2 is one thing, but the automatic selection between the two doesn't even seem to try to give you an even balance of both maps. I haven't gotten to play on Walleye Warehouse once tonight. Though at least that meant I learned the Skate Park really well.

It's super fun. Shame I only got one match in before rotation though, would of liked to keep going with a goon.

I've sent you a friend request now so feel free to try and find me.

The thing about playing with people on your Friends list is you have to decide whether or not you're feeling patient enough to value playing with someone not random since it usually takes a while. Sometimes you just want to go RIGHT NOW

just curious--how often do you guys win? i have won only one match today and maybe a handful yesterday and game's fun but it's annoying to always be losing

There are a lot of variables and it depends on whether you have a good team and also how familiar you personally are with the weapon you're using. Like right now I'm trying to learn how to use the roller effectively but I'm pretty bad at it so I'm losing a bunch.

Rorus Raz posted:

So what are map opinions right now?

I think my favorite is Urchin Underpass, followed by Rig. The only map I dislike is probably the skate park since most of my matches are both teams trying to ink the opponent's side.

The Underpass and the Rig are going right now.

Are people (read: goons) pretty cool with you randomly joining their next open battle without announcing it...? I'm pretty sure I have some of you guys on my friend list still from MK8, and I'm lookin' to ink it up.

Everyone is just constantly popping in and out, and since there's no in game communication no one is going to care. Over time you tend to accumulate more friends, I was just playing with at least 4 other people on my friends list.

Basically if you see someone on your list you want to play with, just join them. Chances are you'll just end up replacing a random dude who leaves.

This morning I played with a guy a bunch who kept using the roller but seemed to have no clue you could do anything else but roll with it. Must have splatted him half a dozen times back to back one match.

Then the one after that I got him and two other rollers and managed to carry them kicking and screaming to victory so that was pretty fun.

Finally made it to level 10 so now I'm gonna relax and finish up single player. I can't wait to see this final boss.

What does the Disruptor actually do if you hit an enemy with it? I think I've only had one confirmed hit, but it was against a guy with a charger who just kept slowly walking and charging his shots.

It slows down their movement. Not so great if they're actively shooting at you but it can help keep them from getting away.

Splat Fest details. You can't play normal games while it's going on, and you can only play with players who pick the same thing you did against people on the other side. You get 2 Snails just for showing up, and the most you can get is 24 if you're dedicated to getting the highest rank and your side wins.

This sounds really fun. I can't wait

What exactly is the deal with the snail upgrade thing I keep seeing mentioned. I haven't seen anything about it in game.

You haven't seen them in game because they aren't available yet. They're the prizes that will be available from the splatfests once they start. Basically you give them to Spyke in the alley and he lets you either add more ability slots to a particular piece of gear or to re-randomize the abilities already on a piece of gear. They're the way you can make your favorite looking gear also be your best ones ability wise.

Speaking of which, everyone's in agreement that Spyke just straight up mugs the inkling with gear you want right.

That's the vibe I get when you special order things and that's hilariously dark thinking about it.

Only one per day because he doesn't want to draw attention and risk getting caught

Has anyone gotten all their single player gear to max level? I assume there's no reward for doing so since that would be pretty grindy, but I'm curious.

In single player, in the first level with the invisible pathways, they have your ink color as this beautiful mint blue color. I don't think it's avaliable in multiplayer, is it? Why's there just a random ink color that's otherwise unused? Are there other colors in single player that don't come up in multiplayer?

Single player definitely has a couple colors unique to it. I've seen that mint blue and also lavender

The reward is getting abilities on your gear.
