Topic: Splatoon - OT

@OorWullie I believe that if the losing team has control when the timer hits 0, it will keep going until the other team gains back control or the losing team gains the lead

Oh and I'm guessing that if it is tied, there will be overtime until one team gets and extra point.

So I played some ranked battles yesterday and have to say - these are lots of fun.

Tactics, positioning, sub weapons - they all matter so much. I was on fire for a while but went down a rank again after I became tired and started messing with my gear. I’m definitely going to play this mode a lot. You’re very dependant on the team though, if one of them is sloppy the odds won’t ever be in your favour.

I really love Splat Zones. Especially after levelling up a few times and playing with other good players. Its very tactical and you are very dependent on your team.

This makes me happy

Seems to be pretty much like this according to the GameXplain livestream, it's pretty standard for shooters to have that approach like CoD for Search and Destroy and Sabotage.

I feel like hitting something, in ranked I keep ending up with the most kills on my team but losing the battles. Hopefully with a little I'll be teamed with capable people for a bit so I can get enough points to get into the next teir.

If there isn't anyone else painting the zones while you're killing, you're going to loose. Regaining territory is top priority if the timer counts down for the other team. I'm B- now, and the dynamic among the players is generally very good.

Media Create charts are out and Splatoon sits at the top in Japan. Numbers Splatoon sold : 144,818. A welcomed bump in hardware to 17,313 from it's previous week's 7,611.

Splatoon's opening week numbers are pretty good, but not really convinced with the hardware bump. Lets hope it continues to sell well.

Splatoon appeals to current wii u owners. It's not going to be much of a system seller for people who don't already own a Wii U

We'll see..

I disagree, I think word of mouth and the need for something different will get people to buy a system just for this game. Im of course not talking millions but I could see 100k buying it for this game.

I mean it's possible, but considering in Japan the Wii U only got a slight bump, I doubt the number will get much higher in subsequent weeks. If anything the success of this game speaks to the good attach rate for current Wii U owners.

Why did they have to make re-rolling stats so expensive. I re-rolled like 3 times on one piece because it kept giving me similar stats and now I have no points left.

You can re-roll stats on clothing? I should look/find that, I had one shirt that got the same ability twice and it felt like such a waste.

Abilities stack so for example if you got one that increases your ink refill, it would refill faster with more of them.
Also I believe it is once you reach level 20 that Spike can give you extra slots (if you don't already have 4) and randomize them again if you pay 30000 or one of those sea shell things from splat fests.

Go to Spyke once you're level 20, if you try to add a slot on something that's already full he'll offer to re-roll them
For 30k... ;_;

I've seen people with about 4 defence ones, seems incredibly pointless having more than 2 of any.

I've done the update, and the Inkopolis frame rate isn't 60. It's still 30.

Also, I've seen a couple of frame drops during matches, especially when you are in purple team.

Yeah I had seen a post about the rate increase, but it's not 60 after testing. Just a more stable 30.

Just beat @Tommy_Wiseau in a match. GG
