So I was rocking the Splatter Shot Jr. for a while and rocking it. (It was a custom one or something like that) but yesterday I couldn't win a match for the life of me. Any ideas on a good weapon to change to that might give a better result? I am level 10 and have bough all the weapons I can so far.

The Krak On Roller is easy to use and when the beacon is used by a smart tean it's great for support (advance into key areas, leave a beacon thing and your team warps there after being splatted) plus it has the best combat special in the game so save it whilst rolling then when the enemy gangs up on you transform. Otherwise the quicker charging gun that leaves splats in a straight line (I cant remember it's name) is good but you need to get use to it so it isn't a quick fix to a poor run.

I have been trying to avoid the Roller. It feels like if a team should only have 1 roller. Without a roller you are at a disadvantage and with more than 1 the enemy adapts to them to easily. 1 Roller per team is the perfect amount. I might like the N-Zap, sounds like my play style.

^^ I was part of a whole team of rollers and we dominated Saltspray rig. Granted that map is roller heaven it I didn't mind because we just followed behind each other refilling as the other continued and swapped places then we branched out. It was oddly coordinated.

I have never been on a team that coordinated. When ever I have more than 1 Roller they are all the lowest scoring players and are a couple hundred points less than me.

I've found that the only way rollers can get top of the list is that they focus solely on paining and avoid attacking. If they can use an advanced person to jump to at spawn, they can just ink the whole area in seconds. People get too caught up in attacking other players with the roller but every second you're not painting, you're losing more points than someone who is shooting AT someone and painting at the same time.

Rollers are just completely different when scoring points and they should be played differently. They're more of a support class.

I suspect that maybe due to them being newbies who seem to go straight to it, The last time I played with it I got the most kills and the highest score even with people who are level 20 (I'm currently 11) on my team, I do agree when a team has 3/4 rollers they are a lot less effective but the same is true for all unbalanced teams.

So, I found out a second ago that painting walls doesn't count on your points or to the percentage at the end. That's weird.

It was like the stars aligned man. When we reached the center section we broke into 2 man groups and continued on our merry way. In this manner we dominated with constant use of our specials(wail/kraken) if one of us fell the other used their special and we just super jumped back to where left off. towards the end the coordination did falter a little when 3 of us showed up in one location. We still won wonderfully. That kind of cooperation reminds me of the Collective guy lie in the TV show scrubs.

Who said that? I've been on maps where it seemed the only way we won was with the walls being counted.

Yeah, too many people think of it as a weapon but I do get some big kiil tallies with he Krakon roller, I ignore the fighting til my special is up, squid jump to fight and then kraken the baddies.

I was watching some Splatoon videos, and lots of people said that walls don't count. Apparently Nintendo said it, too.

I think those slanted walls count, the score is based on what you can see from a bird's eye view.

And I searched it up on Google. I found this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/805617-splatoon/71790198 . Floor on top of walls do count.

Finally: http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/29/8684317/five-tips-you-should... .

"In Turf War, the goal is obviously to cover as much turf as possible, but remember that painting walls doesn't count toward your team’s score. While painting walls can frequently be useful for traversal reasons such as reaching higher areas to shoot from, neither your team’s final score nor your special weapon meter will increase from it. Only bother spraying the walls when absolutely necessary."

Well that's good to know them. Shows how much I've been paying attention lol.

Of course I just asked my son if he knew and said yes. He watched every video he could find on it.

Oh, okay. If its a straight 90 degree wall/surface it doesn't count since you can't see it on the overhead view.
