Topic: Splatoon - OT

@Jazzer94 Same, you can't do anything about it unless you throw bombs or a Killer Wail at them

Also are we still playing?

@Iggly One more match then I need to make some food, might be on after.

@Jazzer94 I might be able to play later, though I have my doubts since I might be walking to EB Games later to see if I can buy something. Good matches overall, we didn't have much losses compared to our wins.

Tatsumi Kimishima has given an interview about Splatoon where he wants to "extend it widely" like Super Mario Bros, I'm not sure that means if he wants to have it as a long running series that goes into the mainstream or if he wants to milk it with spin offs. The Inklings have tremendous potential but I really hope they don't just start slapping them on any game they may have in the works.

Extend means milk in Nintendo talk, hopefully this doesn't mean a bunch of rubbish spin offs.

How can one make a spin off from this? A story about the inklings?

@LztheQuack: I would play a Squid Sisters rhythm game; I dunno about anyone else.

@Nicolai: I've had enough of their singing, honestly.

@MasterWario: That's cuz we've been hearing the same 4 songs by them. Imagine if they came out with a whole new album, with guest appearances featuring the other bands!

It will be something to do with Amiibo and mini games with poor to mixed reviews.

I could see the retro mini-games getting a standalone release on the 3DS eshop.

If they made a Splatoon spinoff similar to Metal Slug, just a classic 2D shooter, it could be good.

Still a huge shame they didn't include the Inklings in Smash Bros as DLC. Seems like it would have been an obvious choice.

@Nicolai: Yeah that's a fair point, but they'd have to bring in the other bands for me to be interested.

Starting to think the standard .52 gal is the best weapon in the game.

@Jazzer94: welcome to my world, although I still prefer the deco.

@Spoony_Tech: Ink strike is not as good as wail IMO, honestly ink strike needs a buff bit too weak also walls are just such a good sub I like seeker but it isn't as versatile.

Got another friend request from a random Japanese player telling me my .52 gal was sick and ggs (we played like 12 matches together).

It's been weeks since I played...and of course I missed the new stage in rotation.

Best moment of my splatooning existence today... a team with three chargers and a roller, had all recently been splatted on Hammerhead Bridge. I pushed towards their spawn, right to the end/start of the grated upper path. Managed to splat all four of them again (plus a second on the roller) by jumping left and right like a maniac as their target lasers tried to follow me.
Really wish there was a replay function in this game!

Oh yeah! There were so many times where I wished to have a replay. It should be at least like MarioKartTV, although for the next installment I expect a full editor or at least access to the full footage of the match.

This and a bunch of other additions/improvements (in descending order: free trading; free direction change during Super Jump; special snails to change main slots; "defend" and "cover me" as additional signals; more versions of the weapons; roller Superjump issue fix; more stats in Splatnet, like for every map etc; remove the squad points restriction for S rank; change the balance of the SuperJump to make it more dangerous for those on the ground or at least 50-50) and I'm happy with the next Splatoon game.

Anyone want to Squad when the next set comes up? I'm S but I just want to try out the levels without any pressure. Let me know if you want to
