Topic: Splatoon - OT

Lemmy from Super Mario World.

@OorWullie: We did do good! I think I'm going to change my main rank weapon to the Splattershot Pro instead of the Custom Dual Squelcher. With the Custom Dual Squelcher, I would waste all my time setting beacons that no one but me would use. XD The Splattershot Pro has the same range as the Custom Dual Squelcher, kills in one less hit, and has Splat Bombs. I think it's a win-win situation! And sorry about all of the charger issues... I hope your new one comes soon!

This is kinda like the question with the stages yesterday, but if you could change any weapon and make it either have a different sub or special weapon, which weapon would you change?

For me I would have to change the Slosher's Special Weapon, the Inkstirke. There are already too many Inkstrikes, and I think the Slosher would benefit from the echolocator or the bubbler the most. I'm not trying to make the Slosher overpowered, I would just rather have any special than the Inkstrike!

@Blue_Blur: A new slosher is coming not sure what it has do.

I really wish the Wii U had a wired Ethernet output. I'll probably be out of wireless internet for a while, as i'm moving into a dorm room (essentially) with only a wired plug in option. So no more Turf War/Ranked/updates.

Hope I can get a wireless connection set up before next Splatfest.

Yeah would be good but guessing it was a cost thing with Nintendo. I bought an official wired adapter specifically for Splatoon.

@ELI-ASH: Do you know when it's coming out?

@Blue_Blur: Nope, it was one of the leak weapons. Since we just got the mini splatling it can't be too long before its out.

@Judgedean: Yeah that sounds like a good temporary solution

The LAN adapter is well worth it IMO. It gives you the stable wired connection with full duplex.

Apparently Japan is getting a 320 page artbook for Splatoon in October 10. It is said to contain a variety of concept art and designs, and also a cover illustration by art director Seita Inoue.

^^That's a sample of some of the pictures contained in the book.

@DiscoGentleman: I going to be playing for a while, feel free to join!

Anyone else is welcome too!

@DiscoGentleman: Tell me when you're ready so I can make a twin squad room.

EDIT: Sorry, but I'm getting kinda tired, gonna quit for now. Maybe later we can do some squad battles.

I wish they released DLC that let you play as an Octoling, and created male Octolings also.

My favorite voice effect in the game is when the male Inkling says "YES!" or "YETI!"

I miss playing Splatoon already... Will probably look for a LAN adapter. I don't know much about setting up internet... (or computers in general)

It's very easy. You need a normal ethernet cable to connect the adapter to (and the Wii U LAN adapter connects to one of Wii U's USB ports). Then go to the system configuration on the Wii U and select wired connection. That's about it.

When you guys play rank battles how long are your sessions? I like to play in 1 hour sessions. If i do great in that hour chances are ill repeat that next time; and if I lose a lot in that hour i'll just practice some more in turf and hope i regain my lost points next time.

@ELI-ASH: Normally play like an hour but today played 3hrs straight then after a quite long break played another hour as I wanted to get into S+ (which I failed at).

I really need to play Splatoon some more.. Haven't played it in a week or two, but with Mario Maker coming out this friday, I doubt I'll have much time left.

I played for about 3 hours plus today. Finally got back into A today as I feel like I've been stuck in A- forever. I guess it all makes a difference for me what stages are in play. I know strategies for most boards and most modes but I still see a n different stage and mode I haven't played yet.

The Inkling implementation in Mario Maker is pretty cool.
