What a mighty good man.

Let's talk about splat: I just got into the game, and I'm hungry for advice on gear. Seems like ink efficiency and movement upgrades are great, and I've heard that damage and defense upgrades aren't great, but I know nothing and there's nothing really linked in the OP.

Motion controls in Splatoon are great. It took a minute to get accustomed to it, but I think it's a lot more effective than just the twin sticks.

Plus it's not as if using motion controls disables the right stick.

Yeah, most of the projectiles don't need anything close to a charged shot to kill. The missiles and little enemy-spawning capsules have ridiculously low health. Dodge missiles, pop capsules, charge up a shot for the fists and pineapples and you'll be golden.

I found the roller to be more difficult, if only because of the low RoF.

I love the L-3 Nozzlenose. I'm still not sure how to use the Killer Wail in an effective manner but the gun hits hard and fast if you've got your rhythm down and disruptors are a fantastic sub.

Reminder that if the other people in your team are not in America they'll just be wondering why you're spamming "Nice!" when nobody's done anything yet

Or "To me!" when you're right next to them

In the context of Splatfests, wouldn't the people you're playing with be in the same region?

Booyah/C'mon are superior anyhow :911:

Actually, what do Booyah and C'mon translate to in Japanese? I see japanese players occasionally start matches with one of them so I'm curious if they have a slightly different translation too.

"カモン!" and "ナイス!", which evidently are just phonetic spellings of "Come on!" And "Nice!" respectively.

Just for argument's sake, you could probably get the Squid Sister's outfits from them if they were going to exist/do anything in-game.

Eh, I don't know if Nintendo would do something like that. I'd honestly prefer if the outfits looked like Squid Sisters merch rather than seeing a bunch of Callie and Marie lookalikes in the plaza and in games.

It seems that Callie is the choice of the skilled, discerning Splatoonist.

The discerning choice is to pick the side you like the best and not give a gently caress about the 2-6 sea snails you might miss out on being on the losing side.

Is it not? I had never even heard of data caps until I joined SA.

I don't know where you live, but cable options are in many places extremely limited and if the one or maybe two high speed providers decide to start metering there's basically fuckall you can do about it.

In my area the only broadband provider is Comcast. I live in a city of over 850,000 people. Your other option is AT&T's DSL service.

Then you should be agitating for municipal broadband. Your community is lacking a basic utility - would you just say "that's not an option everywhere!" if we told you to get grid power when you asked how much it'd drain your batteries-and-solar-panel setup?

While municipal broadband has been a success in some parts of the country, the ISP lobby has been actively lobbying to make municipal broadband difficult or impossible to provide legally in many states. This isn't a fight the nerd community of Podunk County, USA can win.

The odd thing is...I live in America! I've had Time Warner pretty much all my life and never have had a data cap.

I don't know about Time-Warner but Comcast is definitely rolling out data caps in test markets within the United States.
