With splatfest happening next week...really don't think I need to enter really, I still got 21 snails out of 24 to use butt got nothing to use them for, might just enter to get a high team rank.
So I've been loving this game, but I have 1 major criticism that must have been mentioned already:
I have noticed that some players can wildly jump around while shooting at you and it makes it harder to hit them. I have gyro controls turned off, so my right thumb is on the right analogue stick while fighting, which means I can't hit X to jump around. So basically, players who aren't using motion controls are at a slight disadvantage. Why can't we assign the jump button to the left trigger, or does that trigger serve another purpose that I missed??
@OorWullie: - "Curious why you dislike the Warehouse so much?I"
It's too small and boring. Tower control really seemed pointless, same for splat zones. And we played it so much over the 3 testfires I've seen it enough. Port Mackerel is kinda like warehouse but w/ 2 splat zones in ranked mode it becomes much more frantic. And after playing all the cool stuff in the single player - moving platforms, invisible walls and floors, ink fountains, sponges - well the warehouse plays even more dull. What I don't get is why everybody dislikes Arowana mall so much, it's like the warehouse but w/ water, better viewing side areas and ramps. Size wise though it's even more similar to the warehouse than Port Mackerel but w/ the other ideas added in for fun.
Couldn't disagree more about the Warehouse. Tactically, it's one of the most interesting Turf War maps unless you just stay in the middle part. If you manage to take the enemy area to the upper right, it can become a pretty interesting Turf War session. And there are still way too few people who use the additions made for Tower Control on that stage, which is one of the keys to winning on that stage/mode.
The Mall's biggest issue is with the chokepoint and stage-optimized weapons, it's almost impossible to move beyond the middle when the teams are skilled enough. A similar but reversed problem is with Port Mackerel - if one team pushes the other team back to the open area at 1/3, it's almost impossible for a skilled team to loose. OTOH, the Mall (and Port Mackerel) is probably the map where weapon selections matter the most.
I really hope that guy from the interview was hinting at spongers and other things being available in future Multiplayer maps. He did say they were making more "technical" maps, so it sounds very interesting.
Yep, I will vote for whatever is seen as most popular because that's what Splatfest is all about...a popularity contest. It's not even about Splatoon or the game itself....if you want more snails just hop on the bandwagon. Brilliant Nintendo, just brilliant.
They really need to fix the rating system in ranked battles because I've been losing a lot of points and not gaining much lately because the game keeps pairing me up with people who are either below or above my rank. I'm not suggesting they should not allow people from different ranks to join me because the matchmaking would take long if it did. What I am suggesting is just keep the point distribution to 10 points for either wins or losses since I'm getting tired of losing 12/14 points and gaining only 6/8 points.

That's been an issue since the beginning that I really hope they fix. They have been effort into fixing things in the game, so I really think it's only a matter of time before they have fixed it.
@Iggly: I've never seen 6 or 14 points distributed.
This usually isn't an issue in Splat Zones, but since not much of the A (not talking about A-) ranked players play Tower Control (or at least from my match experiences), it usually pairs me up with lower ranked people with the small times where the team has C+ and B- people who win which then decreases my score by 14. The 6 points one is a bit more common for me in Splat Zones since the game usually pairs me up with people who are above my rank like 3 A+ people so my rank would only go up by 6.

I don't see what the issue here is. It's the whole point of ranked: if you play against a team where you're supposed to win (lower-ranked average than yourself), you'll gain less points than if you're beating a team with a higher-average rank than yourself. If a player stand still in the rank, the player has reached the ideal rank.
It's just a small complaint I had since the matchmaking is already pretty weird, so being forced to fight lower/higher ranked people can be annoying if they're going to constantly influence how much points are earned in the end. I finally reached A+ regardless of my complaints, it just took longer than I expected it to be.
The new stage is really fun, ranged weapons really shine in this as you can pluck off foes from higher buildings. Rollers are still good since they can fill the lanes except for maybe some edges in one go, so having a fast roller like the Carbon Roller is good since I got the top score with it for most of the matches I used it.
@Iggly: Cheers,going to put it on in an hour or so.Hopefully it'll still feature in the next map rotation,usually a new map gets a few rotations.It'll start off with my trusty Aerospray RG then once I've learned the map I'll finally get round to trying out some new weapons outside of Recon.
A lot of people are complaining they didn't get their sea snails that delayed checking in, and who knows whether Nintendo will ever fix it, so make sure you check in the day after Splatfest to avoid disappointment.
