Topic: Splatoon - OT

Yeah, good times. That S Rank team was a bit intense. Looking forward to doing that again.

I've just created a twin squad if someone wants to join.I'll leave it open for 10 minutes.

I think im gonna do a few rounds of goold old turf wars.

I'm on board the turf wars train. Can only do so much Ranked and then I need to relax a bit. I had been playing ranked before we started as well.

My last video is up, no more for now...will go back online tomorrow or something, though.

Was playing a bunch of Splatoon tonight but I had a pretty bad experience, in ranked if I won I only got 4 or 6 points and if I lost I lose 10 points, had a had time killing and easy time dying, even with the same gun someone managed to kill with less shots then I fired...I do have very good internet connection.
Also does defense/damage boosts suck?

One ability is always a trade off with other abilities. I use damage up on many of my sub abilities but that makes me slow, so I'm now trying a swim speed up setup instead. But I would also like ink resistance, run speed, ink saver main, ink saver sub, ninja jump, recon, ninja squid, etc...

Not necessarily your connection, they could just have defense abilities which is what I use in my mid range weapon set.

It's in Japanese, but there's an official site that keeps track of your stats as well as map rotation:
https://splatoon.nintendo.net/
If you log in with your NNID, you can see what your friends are playing, see the amount of turf claimed with all your weapons, and uh... I'm not sure, but I'm guessing see how many matches your friends have won? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What's surprising about this is that all your weapons and what not are actually tied to your NNID. That's nice. Maybe this paves the way for in-game stat-tracking?

@VeeFlamesNL: This is fantastic,I can't quite believe it haha.There is weekly leaderboards too.I'm not quite sure but I think you can arrange match ups with your friends too,choose the time and mode,even the weapon you will use.It also tells you the what maps are going to be in the next few rotations.Really happy with this,hopefully we'll get an English version soon

@OorWullie: Wow. I didn't even know you could arrange matchups on the website. I need to learn Japanese! XD
_{But I wouldn't mind an English site..}

@VeeFlamesNL: I'm not 100% sure but I think so.If you click on the little yellow blob just above where it shows your online friends it gives you a drop down box.My page automatically translates to bad English but it seems that's what we can do.

Cool

I like that Splaton website, even if I can't read a word on it. I'm ahead of @Spoony_tech 145- 103 for the week. It even let me tweet it, now I have Japanese in my twitter feed I can't read.

@rjejr: If you click on your profile and scroll down it tells you how much ink you've covered with each weapon.It must be official for them to know that.I'm 3rd on the leaderboard for Turf Wars but way down for Ranked.it says the points are calculated by "The win in the battle, it will raise the ranking! Rankings will be reset at 0 every Sunday! (Index score is calculated with the number of wins × winning percentage × 10.)"

I think we can even arrange matches in advance.

Unsurprisignly Aerospray RG is my most used weapon by quite some distance.I've so far inked my way to 670092p.My next most used weapon is the Splattershot Jnr on only 15169p.Quite embarrassing actually,I need to sort that.

@OorWullie: Yeah thanks. After I typed that I messed around some more and even my 10 year old kid said it must be official to list all the weapons. Guess I should go back and edit, huh?

Here's my top weapons. I don't like much, but I try. Not a big fan of rollers or mops or buckets. Will try out the gatling at some point, maybe during spaltfest.

1 4 7, 6 2 9 p gold areospray, 1 0 3, 3 6 3 p .52 gal deco, 3 6, 4 7 5 p splatershot pro (maybe?) 2 8, 9 9 9 p silver aoerspray 2 7, 9 5 8 splatershot, 1 9, 8 9 9 p Jr.

@rjejr: Click the yellow blob above where it tells you your online friends.It looks like we can arrange match ups.Feeling pretty excited about this.Some of the games I played this morning on Turf Wars were the among the best I've had.Yesterday I got 750 stars for free for my Club Nintendo account for linking to my NNID even though I already had,free to play Fatal Frame and now this snazzy website ,these are pretty bold moves by Nintendo.

@rjejr: I would like to know what those numbers even mean. Now if you click on the green my number is much greater then yours. I'm assuming that turf and the other is ranked. Like I said I went -4 the other day and that somehow affects my score I guess?

@OorWullie: Its only a bold move if it comes west, right now it's just pandering to their home country. jk, I'm confident it will come west, how hard could the front end be w/ the back end in place? The fact that our western accounts even show up on the japanese site means we're already in the system. Maybe after Reggie wakes up in a few hours he'll get somebody on it.

@Spoony_Tech: According to my 10 year old best guess those photos match up to turf war and ranked. I saw you were ahead of me on turf war, you can put that on your twitter feed. Does Mr Bubble show up on your feed, I'm guessing he's above both of us?
