Topic: Splatoon - OT

Sorry guys have to go for now which is why you all got kicked, games were fun.

I'll play again in a minute.

It's fun doing private battles, it's like squads but everyone doesn't lose points even if you aren't S Rank. We should do private battles again some other time.

If anyone else still wants to play, I'm with another private battle group. Room for 2 more!

I had the best matches ever with you guys. You all definitely know your stuff!
I'm totally in for the next private match(es) whenever you guys are ready!

@OorWullie: Great teamwork that match! We did awesome! 14 kills in a turf war is hard to do!

@Blue_Blur: Superb stuff,having a great time here haha.I just got kicked again,i'll join the next one.

@OorWullie: I just joined another private battle, but it will probably be my last match. I had fun though!

Not sure who setting the rules but I think if it's uneven sides it's best to play Rainmaker or Tower Control on the narrower maps.Turf Wars on Saltspray Rig within uneven sides is too hard.

@Blue_Blur Cheers for the games.

Anyone up for a Squad/Private Battle?

@Inkling: Can play twin squad if you want?

So I found this cool video that gives advice on a cool trick in Splatoon. This will be helpful for Carbon Roller and Slosher users.

Nintendo will prop fix this so you wont be able to do it

My first few matches with the mini splattling. Your a lil vulnerable if your too close/someone gets you in between charges,but i like it.

@Aromaiden: Maybe there is something that I'm missing, but I don't see where that trick is so useful or even a "trick" ^_^;

Attacking with a burst bomb and then a main attack is standard affair, this "technique" simply imply to use the right animation frame for speed up the combo if I understood well. It's an okay tip if anything, but nothing more and I doubt any user of those weapons didn't know about it (if anything I only learned the thing have multiple names XD).

@BakaKnight: Well I thought it would be helpful for anyone who didn't know it, as it is a pretty helpful and simple technique. It's a nice little trick, especially for the more competitive players.

Does anyone have any advice with aiming, other than using the motion controls? I finally tried out a gun (I've been using the Krak-on Roller the entire time) and I realized my aiming is awful and the reason why I die so much online. I tried practicing in the weapon practice map and no matter how I set the sensitivity, I find myself moving around the trigger too much to aim.

Maybe I should just stick to the roller.

I finished the 1-player campaign mode but it doesn't really set you up for aiming well.

EDIT - the motion control is better for hitting on target and aiming accurately but constantly moving the controller around in my hand doesn't feel good...

Use motion controls + practice. Motion controls in Splatoon is basically twin-stick controls, but with aiming support by the gyro. The Gamepad should move in very small movements.

I've tried practicing with it a lot. It feels terrible. At least with the right analog I feel like I'm in some form of control, even if it's slower.

A lot of people swear the GameCube controller is better for Smash Bros too and I bought the adapter and controller and it didn't feel good at all. I preferred the Pro Controller.

@Aromaiden: I really wonder if it's the case. For my personal experience that combo is even a bad risky plan. It requires the burst bomb to hit the target directly, else the damage won't be enough for be useful, and for my personal experience it's not easy to get that direct hit, not easy by default and especially hard when this is maybe the weapon suffering more even with the minimal lag.
Althought I always wondered if this lag with the burst bomb is only on my side since most people have no problem hitting the opponents with them XD;;;
