Will we be able to make one inkling per profile or multiple inklings? My husband and I both have our own profiles, and it would be way easier to just use my mii/NNID and have two squids.

Did everyone's connection go well? I had a little trouble connecting to matches but other than that I was okay. I'd love to know the server results performance.

I need to figure out how to turn off gyro controls. I hated them in Captain Toad and I hate them here.

I think all this roll out of features is because Nintendo is honestly afraid we won't understand how to play Splatoon and quit. They think that making us unlock stuff and gating features and so on will help us learn the finer points.

Now, how true all of that is would be up to debate.

I'm glad everyone else is having problems, I thought everyone was off being a rad squid and my kid rear end was sitting on the searching screen.

Just for some content, I have a question: in single player, are the scrolls that you get from boss fights the only scrolls that give weapons, or do I have to hunt up all 32 of these little bastards?

i love the clothing customization in this game. it's all stuff i wear irl. the snapbacks,basketball jerseys and motherfuckin yeezys. i don't think i've ever been this obsessed with having to buy all the clothes in a video game

Yes. I like dressing like a 90s reject on casual days/off days, this clothing is totally in my wheelhouse. I found green converse today in the shoe store. I was like, I don't care if the ability on these is "scratch rear end for 15 minutes," they are going on my squid feet. I need all the squid converse now.

Hoping for a DLC with some guitar shirts and my Fender hat with a hand throwing up the horns on it. They can look in my closet if they need inspiration.

(There are raglan shirts in the game, right? I feel like I saw them in previews but haven't seen them crop up in the game.)

EDIT: Watching my husband play, I just realized that if you're using a gun, you can see the backspray if you watch the ink close to your inkling's feet. Holy poo poo.

Here's my thing about the gyro controls. I play video games as God intended: curled up in a little knot, flipped belly up, with the controller on my chin (or possibly my nose). Having to move the controller messes with my superior gaming technique.

If you have four rollers who don't play like dumbasses, I could see it being possible.

I love playing roller, but I get aggravated when someone runs ahead of me on a back alley with their splattershot jr and shittily inks all the territory. That's my job, I'm better at it than you!

Do the shops give you different clothes if you're a higher level? They seem to comment on it. I know the horseshoe crab does, I'm wondering about the other guys.

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?

It's so pretty. I'm sad we don't get it in multiplayer.

We should all be posting our outfits of the day. It's the best way to keep up with squid fashion.



I really wanted the red checked shirt ... but it clashes with most of the squid head colors!

Outfit of the day!



I played a bunch of rounds tonight with people a million times better than me. I mean, I did what I could, but I must be living my life wrong because I was consistently in last place. If one of you wrote up a roller guide, that would be awesome.

I like to dress my video game characters seasonally, I'd hate for them to get too hot or cold. (See also, Animal Crossing.) I haven't found any short sleeve shirts I like, though.

Here's what I had yesterday. It was okay.



They had a striped shirt for sale today, here it is. What do you think?



If it's not obvious, I love that hat. I wish I could find some low top converse in funky colors, though.

There's a link at the top if you find anything wrong.

Are you finding that people report the same clothing as having the same abilities? I thought it was all randomized, honestly.

Would anyone be interested in gathering pictures of the clothing? I can't believe there isn't a database yet. What would be the best place that we could all upload, does imgur do albums with more than one person contributing? The only other thing I know is either photobucket or flickr.

I was under the impression that each article was unique, but honestly haven't looked at it that deeply yet. I'm planning to dump the spreadsheet into a database and make the thing more user friendly. Adding pics is easy enough (provided you all do heavy lifting for me.) So if people want to gather pictures go ahead.

How would you want pictures added?

I know this is a few pages back, but this is important: if Japan is getting rice/bread shirts, does that mean the US is getting cat/dog shirts? Can Spike mug a dog shirt for me?

Even more important, if I see a European player, will Spike mug me a rock/punk shirt?

I see Japanese players in shirts which are what I'm assuming Splatfest shirts. But they're gray with a tower design on them. I thought they'd at least say rice and bread. Or do they get the gray shirts now and the rice/bread shirts later? Or can I not see the rice/bread shirts because I'm American?

Like a hundred pages ago, some goon was asking for pictures of his squidkid in Inkopolis doing cool poo poo. I have no idea who that goon was or if he accepted my friend request, but I played turf war with some rad goons today and found them in my Inkopolis later, so enjoy candid pictures of your squids.

Ninja Squid is shirt exclusive I think. Keep headgears for tenacity, special charge up, or anything that tickles your fancy.

Dang, I was reppin Team Cat but missed my recon shirt and was hoping to make up the difference.

Also, I think the superior turf war team has one or two rollers, but not zero or 3+. Everyone else on guns. The paint brush can gently caress itself. This is assuming that the roller players know what they're doing, though.

For the Splatoon birthday party, I'd let them finger paint. Way less mess and they'll totally be into it. For bonus points, buy/make a gently caress ton of vanilla pudding and add food coloring. That way they can eat their own ink as well as paint with it. You can use shaving cream to a similar effect, but it, uh, doesn't taste as good.

You could also let them play with silly string, or dollar store water guns.

I'm trying to come up with poo poo that will keep you out of trouble with whoever does laundry. If you just had to color the water in the water guns, buy a pack of crayola washable markers, break them open, and leave them soaking in some water to leech the ink. That might at least wash out.

Or say gently caress it, buy each kid a white tee shirt, and let them spray each other with RIT. That depends on how much you trust them to not shoot in the eyes or mouth though.

EDIT: Holy hell you have to play Pin Moe on Annie's Hair.

EDIT 2: Just mug each kid, it'll be great.

Here's some cool Splatfest pictures I took before I found out that Team Dog hosed up Splatfest.



It's such a big deal that Optimus Prime even came to Inkopolis. (I tried to jump on the truck, but I couldn't. I am saddened by this.)
