Topic: Splatoon - OT

But the Zelda & Mario timelines are connected because of Mario Kart 8!!! So Mario and Zelda are in the same universe plus Mario and Sonic have games together so they are in the same universe too, then Sonic also shares the universe with Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi , Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Wreck-It Ralph, Shenmue and Golden Axe because of All Star Racing.

HOW WILL THIS ALL WORK!!!

How long do you guys think will splatoon stay relevant ? I can see this game having really long legs in terms of community

But thats to be seen

FLUDD could work like a splattershot weapon, they could call it FLUDDshot, regardless of how it is held.

Mario won't be in the game, just his hat. It would give our squid or inkling the abltiy to jump longer, which would come in handy in Port Mackerel. Maybe some other outfit skins like the Miis wear in SSB and MK8. But it won't be the characters.

Probably Splatoon 2: SSB Edition. They can't call it Mario ed b/c of all the people whining over Link's inclusion in Mario Kart. SSB edition would give them instead cred w/ all the people who fight in SSB tournaments as well. Splatoon needs to become worldwide famous big.

Had a ranked battle with some randoms that was interesting. On Saltspray Rig there are those high points around the zone and the opposing team was mostly chargers. They kept picking off members of my team who were just trying to hold onto the main area with rollers and splatterguns. Nobody seemed to be taking them down, they were all pre-occupied with holding the zone, so I took control of it. I kept going around the back and taking them out for the WHOLE MATCH. They never seemed to catch on that's what I was doing or that I was coming around again. First time in that mode I've felt like I almost single-handedly won the match.

Aren't all ranked battles w/ randoms, or did and your friends find some way to beat the system? Or am I just reading too much into that?

Was very glad to read of some maps having mutliple splat zones, looking to give it another try, b/c Salt Spray and Underpass are all about the sniping, and it just seems like whoever gains control first wins as they are easy to defend.

MY GOD! That also means that we can add in a crap-ton of Namco worlds because of Pac-man's side-taunt and the Smash Run enemies! And we can also add in 007 because of the motion sensor bomb in Melee! This universe doesn't just span through videogames! Anyways, I know I'm a bit late to the FLUDD rumor, but I'd like for it to be true. I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but I'm a relatively big fan of Mario Sunshine (I'll gladly take Sunshine 2 over Galaxy 3, thank you.), so it'd be nice. Still... it'd be wierd to see Mario turn into a Squid...YOU'RE A PLUMBER, NOW! YOU'RE A SQUID...ER, NOW!

Super Mario Sunshine is one of my favourite, if not my favourite game. Yet I don't care at all for FLUDD in Splatoon or a sequel to Sunshine. Isn't that weird? Let Splatoon be what it is, no need for Mario to be in it...

If you go to the online lobby, , I think you press "Y" and that allows you to explore (recon) the current online stages. No ememies and there is still a 3min limit. Great for getting to know the maps also

There will be no training tutorial but it's an alternative at least.

The Mario Sunshine DLC is fake. The Splatoon logo has no Japanese characters under it, yet everything else is in Japanese? The logo itself looks a bit off to be too.

How about they just keep Mario out of this game? He's freaking everywhere already. Let the fludd idea die please. Just my opinion. The only Mario stuff I want are amiibo t-shirts inspired by Mario, as for the Mario universe itself? Keep it away, and let Splatoon be free to be it's own thing.

Boy am I sick of the "sneaky angled camera shot of something absolutely everyone would love" trick. It's so cliché already. If people want to fake leaks, they need to do what that rayman guy did. Now that was a good fake.

Echolocator is my favorite one. No need to wait for an opportunity to use it. Just press when ready. Plus it's not wasted if you get splated right when you activate it. That special saved me more times than any other special and maybe my teammates if they view the map (Gamepad) as well.

I always laugh a bit when someone is hiding in their ink in front of me, waiting for me to walk or turn away, not knowing I can see them. It reminds me of the Kool-Aid guy playing hide and seek in the new commerical with the kids.

Just a few notes: I wish there was a splatter shot combo with the Echolocator power up.

And so far I'm not a fan of the Splat Zone mode. Sure it's different and requires a new strat to the game, I still feel Turf Wars is the core game for me.

If I recall, they can tell when someone activiated the Echolocator because it has the arrow spinning around on their screen too.

I don't want any Mario characters in the game, but a non-canon stage on Isle Delphino, with Fludd as a special weapon and the music? Bring it on!

That is true but that never stop them from trying. It's like the people who don't use their sub-weapons at certain times or check their map to know if the enemy is in a certain area based on the ink trail. It's there but they don't know it's there for them.

You can't deny that a Fludd weapon would be cool as hell but yea keep mario himself out.

Just had a match where we got down to 1 point in Splat zones before he other team gained control and was able to hold us off to reach 0...

I feel like connection problems got worse ever since the update occurred since I never did get disconnected before it was released. Now I'm constantly getting booted out of rooms claiming I have no internet connection which is strange since I don't have these problems with stuff like Miiverse or Smash. I wouldn't have really mind this if Ranked Battle didn't have to constantly decrease your points for losing connection. Though I dunno, it's probably just me having these issues.

Online is starting to become worse with me, a lot of one sided matches, connection problems, people using lag to their advantage, etc etc, not max level, half ways through rank but I might just take a break from this game...at least I can't loose any progress.
