Topic: Splatoon - OT

So I had a go of Splatoon with the new update using my friend's Wii U and I must say I rather like the Urchin Underpass changes. It felt like familiar territory at first the middle is so open and I like that, I prefer this new-ish layout; though I understand if some don't like the fact that it's a permanent change since the previous layout is gone.

As for the new weapon types, tried both and really liked the Splatting Gun but I don't do very well with it. I'll practice with it later down the road. The Slosher though... well, after surviving and splatting a four-man assault single-handedly at the beginning of a match, I fell in love with it. Seriously, I was heading for the middle in the Underpass but got cornered after jumping down a ledge. I threw a few bucket shots for offense and defense and next thing I knew, I KO'd all four of the opposition!

The Slosher, along side the Carbon Roller, may stick as one of my main weapons.

I'd be down for joining a squad, but I'd like to do a huge private match too; I'm A- but probably play like a B+, and I tend to use the custom Dual Squelcher (Squid Beacons!) in Splat Zones and the Ranged Blaster in Tower Control. My best mode is Splat Zones and I haven't exactly figured out Tower Control. NNID is the same as my username and if you add me let me know because I get random friend requests occasionally.

My one gripe with the slosher is that its so much fun just using it that i dont bother at all with the sub.

I think the views came in before I actually posted the link, though...maybe I'll do a Slosher video later tonight. xp
Was going to wait until I had Squid Girl's stuff, but that's gonna be a few days.

Added @Datasun_7 @MisterMan @Jazzer94 @BakaKnight & @MasterWario . Gonna be playing later tonight at 8pm Central im down for either the rank squad or just private matches

We should set up a standard Nintendo life passcode. So if we see our friends in a private room we will know what to type.

I still hate how they calculate ranked points.

I'm still unranked on my file (still fighting to keep off the ranking grid a bit longer) but I played some ranked battles (more splat zone than tower control) on my cousin's Wii U a few times, raised him from C to a B (edit: sorry C+ to B- ). Not sure if I should feel bad for him or the people team up with him with the skill jump but I try not to lose sleep on it.

I'm up for private matches and I guess Squad battles when the time comes.

Yeah I don't really like how it's now even easier to lose 14 points compared to before the update. Though I finally reached S Rank so I don't have to worry about my rank being affected in Squad Battles.

Yeah I'll probably be online later tonight, can't go online right now until late tonight... :c

Ok, I should be on Splatoon at that time unless dinner happens. (I can never predict when dinner happens)

How about 7876 since that's the ASCII decimal for NL, respectively?

Ok I really don't understand the point system.

@Jazzer94: Huh. I thought I understood it quite well, at least before the update. What happened?

@MasterWario: My team had an S rank and I was deducted less then when I lost with an A+ on my team, it just seems random sometimes.

Yeah it seems like they turned up the sensitivity on it in the newest patch. It seems all you need is a + higher on your team to be deducted less. I still don't understand why you get people of other ranks in your matches now anyway. It kicks you out once you rank up... I'm guessing there aren't enough A+/S/S+ people out there but still...why am I getting A+ people when I'm B is beyond my understanding.

I'm up for some private or squad battles now or later,I'll add some of you guys.I joined the Squid Boards earlier and already got a few adds so hopefully I'll build up a list of decent players.I'm not great but I'm alright,my aggression is an asset to any team.I've got a Mick Jagger Mii in case you're wondering who this big lipped and wrinkly old guy is adding you

...Actually, it looks like I'm ok with going online now....so, yeah...o.o

I kind of understand why the ranking system works the way it is since most people I play against seem to be around my skill level now at B+ and A-, but I still kind of hate ranking down.
Although it's pretty fun when playing with friends. Even if I went down 46 points when with them to 0 at A- haha. (They hadn't played for awhile and we're all rank C-)

@ELI-ASH: Thanks for the add. I added you too. Anyone else, feel free to add me. I now have 2 friends on the WiiU! I'm looking forward to seeing what Squad battle is all about. I use the Splattershot Pro. I'm B rank and usually hover around the B's.

...I can't tell if there's some hacker/cheater out there or not. Some guy in Tower Control got 21 kills, and wasn't even taken down once...can't tell if I was lagging or not since I kept hitting him constantly...sighs
