Topic: Splatoon - OT

That's great. I've been waiting for our Splat fest ever since I saw the Japanese Trailer. I'm going team dog all the way.

Will there be a Splat Fest in the UK (Europe)?If so, anyone know when?

June 27th

The Japan Splatfest was team Rice vs team Bread, thats interesting each region gets their own different poll i figure they were all gonna be the same.

The NoA Splatfest trailer is now available. It's the same as the Japanese one, but with different info at the end.

From the Splatoon Direct:

Japan - Rice vs. Bread
NoA - Cats vs. Dogs
NoE - Rock vs. Pop

I guess the reason is if they were all the same ,say word got out this team won then it might repeat in another region. This way its neutral.

Well, you guys were right, it took me about 2 hoours to get used to them but they are indeed better using the right to move camera and the gyro to adjust aim works wonders

My Ranked Strategy: If you don't care, don't bother reading.

I always tell myself, I can carry games as long as my teammates are competent. They don't have to be good, they just have to be competent. Now I'm not saying I'm the best player ever, because I'm not by far, but I'd say any game is carry-able as long as you have competent teammates. (Ranked fyi). People don't always seem to understand if you use time near your base away from the splat zones, you're pretty much wasting time, with a few exceptions. It's ok to push ahead of the splat zones because you can flank the other team or distract them, but I believe, as long as you are behind the splat zone you are pretty much losing. So all you need to do to carry a game is push far ahead, take out some squids, and if your team is competent, they'll eventually push up to the splat zones. If they are too apprehensive you need to try and signal them with the "C'mon" taunt. Once your team is at the splat zone it's all about finding the weak spot in your team's defenses (e.g. they can't handle rollers or they always lose the southwest section) and buffing it up with your presence. Or just pushing ahead more, that works hilariously well sometimes since the enemy team does not expect you to be waiting in the ink so close to their base

It's a lot more dynamic than that and some maps don't exactly have a front and behind, but that's my general strategy. It's been working well so far, and I've "carried" several games as well (also got carried a few, you know).

Cheers!

> Play ranked mode
> My team's timer is 60, other team 70 or something
> Winning
> They get the zone.
> 5 seconds left, they can't win
> Extra time, allows them to get exactly 59

I don't think I've ever been this angry.

It took me several days to realize those counters aren't seconds, they are just really fast counting numbers, and we lost a few matches where I would look up and see something like - 30 seconds left, they need 45 points, we're ok - but then just like that it's over, we lost. I'm still not sure how fast those counters are - the sub numbers as well - but they are much faster than seconds, so I try not to look at them any more.

...Anyone going online today? o.o

I'll probably go on after dinner, I can probably be on tonight as well. Though I appreciate it if it isn't late since it's usually midnight when you're up for matches.

I will be online in 10 hours lol. The day is almost over, here. But I'm usually on for around 4-10 hours.

Bleh...TwT

Depends on what I'mdoing during the day, yesterday I was watching Youtube and playing Monster Hunter the entire time. xp

I definitely like the Splash-o-Matic. To me it feels like the cooler version of the Aerospray.

Pop me a friend request, and I'll accept it when I wake up tomorrow. The name's Zerodactyl. Also, you probably didn't see the added message above, but I am usually on for 4-10 hours.

I'll be on later today

@MasterWario So your saying pass ahead of the splat zone and get some kills in while your team focuses on the splat zone?
