I told you guys ink resistance was insanely good. The difference is absurd. A tiny puddle of ink will turn you into a slug without it.

Does it work when you're a squid or just when you're a kid?

I don't think Splatzones is fun, at all. It's not even a matter of "oh I was put with bad players," even when I have a good team and win I don't really have fun winning it. I don't think the gamemode really works in Splatoon.

Octoling amiibo will unlock an octoling skin for your character. They will make exactly nine of these amiibo.

... more than two maps in the regular rotation, which it really needs.

I've seen a lot of comments of this sort, but I think the game is pretty darn well thought-out the way it is. Sure we want more modes and stages and guns and gear and all that, but the design decisions seem pretty drat good. Most of the so-called needed improvements are minor quibbles and personal preferences.

I really like the way the stage rotation works, especially in ranked. I choose my loadout based on which two stages are in play at that moment. Sometimes sniper or roller seems obvious, but sometimes it's a real split decision and I end up going with a blaster or the Jr. Same choice between ninja jump and ink resistance, etc. If we got to pick stages, or if they were all in rotation all the time, I (and so I presume others) would find it easier to get more into a single playstyle and be pants at everything else. The rotation stops us being stale and keeps us fresh. This is both thematically appropriate, and really good for game longevity I think.



QUESTION: Do people not in Japan, Europe, and NA get to participate in splatfest? If you live in SA, Aus, or somewhere else, how does it work?

If you are not in a Splatfest region when a Splatfest is occurring, the only difference for online play is that you won't be matched with people whose regions are having Splatfest. You can still choose between Turf War and Ranked.

So I guess what I'm asking is, is everywhere included in some spatfest region, or are you SOL if you live in a certain place?

Ninja squid is great for swimming up a wall. If you can tap the stick to stay there you can really get the drop on people chasing you.

Doesn't ninja squid explicitly not work when swimming up a wall?

It does seems to work sliding down one, at least in the test range.

Is it just me, or is A- like...really hard?

I'm stuck at B+. There seem to be a lot of people who made it to B+ by dicking around the edges filling up their nearly worthless inskstrikes the entire game, but they sure as gently caress aren't helping me get past B+. I can't stand seeing the countdown to losing at like five seconds and people are still driving around or standing back in safe ink instead of jumping in there and shooting like crazy hoping to gain control for just long enough for their team to get there. Who the gently caress are these people?

OTOH, I've been loving around changing my Mii's name a lot and giving people something to look at. Who just splatted you? YOUR MOM

Do you automatically wear the splatfest tee during splatfest games?
Like, if I don't care about the main ability, should I bother leveling it up, since it's just going to disappear after the 'fest?







Also, why the gently caress would a Lv20 A- player put a beacon ON THE SPAWN POINT #myteamsucks

Sorry about that one. Hit the R button by accident when spawning, and you can't tear it down afterwards.

Don't give a poo poo because it's ranked, the rank does nothing except matchmaking and give you bonus monies. Give a poo poo because the actual play mode is different and fun

Tower control is such a different game. I like that the modes are so very different. I changed my weapon and total gear loadout, and there was a heck of a learning curve.


Feels great when you jump right on and ride straight to the goal, but just as often you feel helpless and utterly outmatched somehow. It's a bloodinkbath!

I am not complaining about the choices Nintendo has made. I like Coasters vs. Water Slides. Nobody wants to passionately argue either way about it, though, and that is great.

Anyone who choses roller coasters over water slides is an rear end in a top hat, a fascist, and probably a pederast

The tall vertical waterslides are scarier than rollercoasters because you really are in freefall with no safety equipment. Newer waterslides like the "watercoaster" at Typhoon Lagoon do go uphill and as for loops, well just image search "waterslide loop" There is the hilariously bad one we've probably all seen before, but some badass looking ones too.

Rollercoasters are cool and I like them but I think I'm going waterslide.
