virtualboyCOLOR posted:Game looks loving amazing. Reminds me of Bomberman for some reason (maybe the art style?). Probably because there was a similar game mode in Bomberman called Panel Paint where you have to bomb as much of the game board into your color as possible in a certain time frame, and you lose all your colored tiles when you die. If they made this the box art for the game I'd buy a Wii U based on that alone. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Shadow Ninja 64 posted:One of the victories I was part of was 67.4% to 12.9%, which was the most crushing disparity I've seen yet. I had a match where we just utterly walked all over a team of 4 Rollers. We had them trapped in their spawn within the first 30 seconds or so and they never got out. Score was like 89% - 5%. Last match of the hour was a pretty even match, we just pulled that one out 49.4 - 49.2. Makes me kinda wish there was voice chat just for moments like that. Weapon tiers seem to me to be Splatter Jr. > Roller > Splattershot >>>>>>>>>>> sniper rifle charge thing. Which I'm okay with, because you can tell the poo poo players by the ones who use the sniper. I'm glad there's finally a shooter that's not sniper friendly, because it's the class of cowards and bitches.

oopsie rock posted:Same here. I thought I would hate the gyro aim but it's actually pretty helpful for a game that involves this much interaction with the environment. I spent the second hour trying to get used to gyro aiming and I just couldn't, it's not clicking with me. It probably didn't help that it kept configuring my aiming so that holding the gamepad level would aim me straight up in the air. I guess I'll try again when the full game comes out, but I think I'm going to be an analog stick man, at least for close range stuff like the roller and Splatter Jr.

RadioactiveKid posted:This game is fun as hell, it was worth waking up early on a Saturday. I'm pretty terrible at most shooters but with the roller I was almost always the top player on my team. A roller with a splatershot for cover is a pretty good combo for covering up a lot of ground in your teams color. Would be nice if they at least had a basic way of communicating with people like the lobby for a race in Mario Kart The D-pad has two communication macros. One is "C'mon" to get teammates' attention to your area, and the other is "Booyah!" to lord your victory over your recently fallen enemies.

Stick controls felt better to me in the testfire and using gyro controls made me feel like a drunken mess, but somehow when I started the full game it felt like the complete opposite and I can't play with stick controls anymore. I still wish they'd let you use both, so you could just use gyros for fine-tune aiming.

Martytoof posted:I hope this clicks for me because I just can't get used to the gyros. I do pretty well with the sticks but I wonder if I could be doing better once I figure out the motion controls :| The only real problem I have is that it's hard to see the aiming reticle in the heat of battle unless you actively focus on where it is on the screen, since it's white on top of often bright colors. I wish there was some way to customize its shape / color like there often are in FPSes, or if it just turned darker over brighter colors.

IronicDongz posted:But it's also slower to kill around corners/platforms because the splash damage is so low. A better idea is just to play the game because you enjoy it and not because you're trying to grind your way to 100% The gently caress is wrong with you people Dizz posted:Do walls actually count in turf wars?

Does anyone else find their killin' power less effective against Japanese players? I tried a couple rounds of Splat Zones with the Blaster (which is fantastic for claiming areas and clearing them out of pesky vermin) and I was just destroying fools, like 15 kills a match for the first couple rounds. Then I found the group gradually being replaced with Japanese players until it was all Japanese except for me, and I started seeing dudes take blaster shots directly to the face, multiple shots, and just keep on going like it ain't no thing, or having it just explode around them like it's loving Pulp Fiction. I don't care that much about winning or losing, except when it's from total bullshit like that. The Inkbrush seems like total poo poo unless you have that perk that lets you swim unseen so you can take people by surprise. Those are the only times I've been hit with it. IronicDongz posted:People are not used to weapons that require you to aim. You don't even need to aim that much with it, the splash damage is ridiculous. The only drawback is the low rate of fire, so if you miss then you're kinda hosed. raditts fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jun 6, 2015 |

Folt The Bolt posted:It's something wonderful when the fact that you stayed behind and successfully defended your homebase from the enemy splatoon and helped cover up after all the krakens and inkstrikes and paintbrush rollers that you're rewarded with a win and inked the most ground for the match. Conversely, it's the worst when you push through and single handedly cover the enemy base, only to find that the rest of your team has done jack poo poo and the entire rest of the map is now enemy colored. And good god dammit do I hate when your teammates just let enemy rollers gently caress around and run wild so they can transform into a loving kraken every time you run into them. raditts fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jun 6, 2015 |

So, got around to trying out the Aerospray tonight. This thing is loving disgusting. I feel like I'm cheating using it. Sure, the range is crap, but who cares about that when you've got ninja jump / swim and 90% of opponents are using loving rollers and brushes anyway. I feel like ink mines work better in theory than they do in practice though, nobody ever stays in one spot for the 7 years the things take to explode. raditts fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Deceptive Thinker posted:ugh why don't people actually pay attention to the splat zone in ranked and instead spend the entire time focusing on kills Because MY KAY DEE ARE Internet Kraken posted:The problem here is you're acknowledging the existence of the splat zone. To properly get into the mentality of these people you need to get those kills, then dive into their spawn in an attempt to get more rather than capturing the zone they are currently in control of. I had to quit last night after a match where the seconds were ticking down on the enemy counter and I'd gotten killed taking out the last member of the other team in the area, and instead of painting the empty splat zone to take it over, the last teammate over there super jumped back to the spawn for reasons that I will go to my grave not understanding. raditts fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Jun 8, 2015 |

PsychoInternetHawk posted:I really don't understand why people do this, without stealth jump or recon going in anywhere totally blind is really bad. Unless the map/death tracker indicates that everyone else is far away, you're basically flashing a big "shoot me" sign, especially on smaller stages like warehouse where it takes you all of six seconds to reach the middle. I've done that accidentally a couple of times, sometimes when your teammates are all running around and the little dotted lines pointing to each person are tangled up it's hard to tell who's who. Unless your guy is on the opposite side of the map it's usually just as fast to squid to where you need to go from spawn, though.

Had a run all the way through the C+ rankings tonight, then when I had just one battle left to break into B- I kept alternating between getting put on poo poo teams that could only get stomped and spawn locked and being on the stomping team. I did find that Custom Blaster is my favorite new Splat Zone weapon when the rest of my team is not loving around and leaving me to get gangbanged by all members of the other team.The Gorp posted:See?

Supercar Gautier posted:On several maps it's actually super important to paint the areas surrounding the splat zones. Walleye Warehouse is the best example of this, where the side areas are practically essential to maintain control of. If you ink the zone and your enemy inks everything else, you probably won't be keeping the zone for long. That's great, if the enemy hasn't already captured both zones and their timer is ticking down. Alabaster White posted:Depends on the mode and map. Aerosprays are pretty much the absolute best at everything in Turf War, but anything else with a high fire rate works well. On Splat Zones, power is key. The .52/.96 Gal are fantastic, the Dual Squelcher (the standard one too if you abuse how Splash Walls work), Splattershot, Splattershot Pro, and chargers if you can aim them. Of course, it really boils down to 'how well can you contribute to the team with this weapon', but these weapons have natural advantages. The blaster is great on Splat Zones when the game is not ignoring the fact that you just shot somebody in the face with it twice so they can murder you. raditts fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Jun 10, 2015 |
