what do squid lolis smell like? do they smell like sea food? that wouldnt make too much sense becuase they dont spend their life underwater.

Marie is always best squid sister
Kayden Flores
Dubs of truth.
Ian Rivera
Amen, squiddo
Carter Wood
I don't know why, but because of mariefags I started to hate her.
Lucas Edwards
Because you are a Calliefag who lost the war and now blame Marie and Mariefriends for your failure to protect your queen
Blake Rivera
but I used to be a mariefag
Joshua Stewart
thats because there never was supposed to be a "best squid sister" they are a duo

I don't care, he's a faggot e celeb and some ninny can't stop posting about the switch and they deserve to get fucked.
Joseph Green
Who's the newfag now
Adam Barnes
Didn't know a faceless shitposter could be an e-celeb. The Switch just came out 4 days ago, give it a while and things will calm down.
Yeah I've seen those videos shared here, seen webms of them shared here, this channel was already popular here for compiling a ton of launch fuck ups.
It's #1 trending on Jewtube with 3 million views. Give me a single excuse or incentive for shilling on this tiny chinese cartoon video game scroll. Hint: You can't, it's just someone spilling out of the Switch thread.
Elijah Jenkins
How long before Splatoon severs on the Wii U get shutdown? I'm scared to think about that will happened eventually in the future.
Liam Jenkins
Well how long does it take nintendo to do that usually? Aren't the wii mario kart servers still up?
Kevin Robinson
DS and Wii Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was shut down in May 2014, and that was after a earlier warning in February about how that would happen. And the only reason it was shut down was because Gamespy servers being shut down after being brought out by another company.
Basically Nintendo doesn't shut thing down overnight and if it did they would give us a good time span (Another similar example is the DSiWare store shutting down).
Fans did use hacking to make their own servers for some of those titles (like MKW).

In the very beginning he actually did shill on various boards though.

Fun Fact: Sometimes The Great Zapfish will appear in the water outside of the Piranha Pit.
Don't be so paranoid, Nintendo aren't going to shut down the Splatoon servers over night when the sequel comes. They'll most likely keep them up for a few more years before give them the axe. I hope
Do you need the costume DLC to get the inkling trophy?
Jose Mitchell
So, what do you plan on using as a controller for Splatoon 2?
Pro Controller?

Is Splatoon still worth getting? I'm only now interested in a WiiU and I'm trying to find games to justify the purchase. I honestly know nothing about the game except you play as a squid, you shoot ink everywhere, and there are two sluts on TV. I may also be interested in the fashion
Evan Peterson
Don't buy a wiiu, honestly I don't think the combined 5-10 games (depending on what you like or think is good) are worth a whole console unless you get it for a considerable mark down. That said, if you do get one anyway, yes get splatoon. Even if the multiplayer dies the single player is really good on its own and shows off most of the ink mechanics well. The fashion is good and the loli squids and squid sisters are cute and sexy.
Levi Turner
Damn, that's sad to hear. Honestly, the only games I can find that are worth putting time into are Splatoon and MH3U. I don't think I'll even be able to find 5 of them. Best prices online are around $200 for a used in good condition. If I can find just a few more games, then I'll get one. The lolis are cute, but what appeals to me more are the shotas
Jaxon Turner
...
Blake Cooper
I think the Wii U has enough of a library to justify a purchase + CFW, but that's just me. If your PC is good enough you could probably emulate the single player games and get much the same experience with better anti-aliasing.
Levi Baker
I have a Snow day Tomorrow I can finally play all day
Ian Moore

Ryan Adams
If you've got a Switch, and set up an account to access the Japanese eShop, you can now download the Splatoon 2 Testfire client. Yes, the text changes to whatever language is the default for your Switch. No, the Testfire still doesn't start until nine days from now.
Robert Moore
Finally a full version of the main theme
Jacob Martinez
Well I guess those of you who actually bought a switch can tell me how it is, because splatoon two isn't enough to convince me to get one.
Christopher Wright
I get it, Callie Lost
Nolan Gray
Why didn't you fags tell me this was the best gun in the game sooner?
Nolan Allen
Here's hoping Splatoon 2 doesn't give me the usual motion sickness that console shooters due to shitty low FOV because it was genuinely fun for the brief bit I played on Wii U. Maybe I can play it in handheld mode because that's more forgiving, at least Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS was.
Elijah Bennett
It's available in NA today as well.
Kevin Carter
$30/year IIRC
Ian Barnes
you know, if there are dedicated servers i might be willing to goy out for something like that.
Joshua Campbell
I was browsing my meme folder recently and I noticed I'm missing the "you have to collect all the power eggs" picture. Anyone have it?
We all know the answer to that question.
Cooper Mitchell
well i cant be pessimistic about everything. i have a basic human need to preserve my desire to survive.
Mason Allen
...
Tyler Clark
Sony and Microshills paid service don't even provide dedicated servers and considering that Nintendo isn't even going to match them on the quality of their free games (one fucking rom a month which vanishes after the month is over) there is no case that shows Nintendo will even try to one up them on the peer 2 peer front.
Eli Myers
JAPS STILL HAVE TELEPORTING SHOTS
William Scott
Have there been any fanart crossovers with Nier:Automata? Since both games involve timelines where humanity is long gone from the planet
Jayden Butler
it shocks me how the phrase "happier than a squid at a social gathering" isnt a thing. they have 5 times the capacity to shake your hand that a human does and thats pretty much the hard limit becuase any more than that is pretty cramped.
Cameron Butler
I haven't seen any, and I just took a look around after reading this post. I do find it interesting that Nintendo makes a post-apoc world where everything is bright and cheery. It's nice. Figure that Japan knows that the outcome of the total destruction of a world can lead to the birth of something new and beautiful as long as shitskins aren't replacing what was there originally
Xavier Diaz
So far the Switch's online seems pretty good, but I have no idea how the servers are going to handle the traffic when Splatoon 2 comes out
Brandon Lee
Squid sisters porn should be punishable by death

You could always try the couple by Koniro Drops/MORISHIMA Kon. I liked them well enough and they still carry humor from the game.
And that is where our tastes differ, user. Good luck though
Justin Perry
We have two in Mumble.
Jack Evans
The Japs thought it did, apparently. I didn't know they liked the N64 so much.
James Scott
I will be playing on Sunday night. We can organize a private battle or something then.
Cooper Fisher
how is squid graffiti and the hub world gonna work without miiverse in spla2n?
Kevin Thomas
Miiverse was too good for this world
Gabriel Carter

Angel Watson
Probably never. Splatoon's matchmaking server is on the same server as all of the nintendo switch's multiplayer And splatoon 2 has local multiplayer which will inevitably get an online passthrough like DS Local Multiplayer games. Don't forget, you're here forever
Jaxon Robinson
Do you think Callie & Marie have contracts saying they can't date?
Brandon Cox
what's with those sorts of contracts?
Luis Torres
One of the biggest things I'm disappointed with Spla2n is the music, it's not as good as the first and some tracks are just plain shit. That music added a lot to the game and I feel with shitty music in Spla2n it'll take away from my enjoyment.
Cameron Wright
Cuz these girls have this "virginal pure girl next door" thing that their audiences love, if they are seen to be fucking that ruins their fans vision of them and people lose wouldn't be their fans anymore.
Brandon Campbell
...
Christopher Brooks
I'm more partial to the default Squid Sisters theme, myself. This truly is the twilight of the squids. I had almost forgotten about them entirely.
Jonathan Garcia
It's a combination of different attitudes in japanese society:
1. The workaholic mentality. It is often seen as a virtue to devote all your time to your career. Not having these girls date shows they are fully committed to their line of work as entertainers and spokesgirls and also frees their schedules entirely up for dance and singing lessons, public appearances and various modeling and advertising jobs.
2. The emphasis on public respectability. Idols, especially those whose work is targeted towards children & young people, are seen as role models, especially for young women, and so an idol having secret sexual liaisons with strange boys is a no-no.
3. Japanese men's purity obsession. Whether they have this fetish cause they like to fantasize about corrupting young girls or genuinely want a pure maiden whose purity and innocence stands in contrast to all the whores they're forced to deal with on a daily basis, even thirty something year old japanese business men can find pleasure in following a girl whose only concerns in life are apparently singing, dancing and buying makeup or kawaii accessories.
4. A lot of the more obsessive idol fans use their favorite idols as a proxy for an actual girlfriend. When your favorite aidoru is dating someone, you can no longer fantasize that she belongs to you and would only be happy with you if you just got the chance to get closer to her. In other cases too, her remaining pure gives you something you feel like you have to protect, which is satisfying in its own sort of way.
Most Japanese idols are pretty okay with these kinds of contracts that are meant to satisfy all these different demographics and they can get boyfriends or husbands at any time they want, provided they're okay with ending their idol careers a little early. Most idols though don't want to do that and will stay in their careers until they finally start to lose steam and they can retire and/or marry with dignity, but some of them try to have their cake and eat it too.
Zachary Gutierrez
This one seems more likely with the staggering amount of NTR and such hentai that's always growing
Hunter Rodriguez
So that Agent 4 guy
Isaac Gray
...
Ryan Thompson
Idols appeal to a much broader group of people than manga and anime probably ever will by themselves just as not all of Taylor Swift's fans are comic book nerds and the average japanese man or woman's reasons for liking an idol or for fetishizing their purity can't necessarily be judged by idol-exploitation mangas by some individual artist. Idol exploitation is basically like nun exploitation in the west. It's escapism or an ironic take or jab at the norm that appeals to a very niche market, and even people who maybe enjoy the occasional sex manga about an idol who gets raped by her producer might get angry if you even suggest their favorite IRL aidoru was raped by her producer. Heck, even the voice actresses for animated idols sometimes have to deal with upholding an image of purity or mild respectability or fans will get upset, like what happened when it was suggested that one of the Love Live! seiyuu did porn under a different nam and her agency had to do damage control. And it's not just men who get upset but women who look up to them as well.
Robert Hill
Makes me glad that the only idol I like is Marie, those other fags need to chill and not take things so seriously

Easton Wright
no, this is.
Benjamin Perez
How are cute squid girls and octololis ever considered 'Bad Guys'?
Jackson Hughes
octolings watch too much tv and it makes them violent
Gavin Clark
Octarians seem to be more peaceful in some ways, actually, given that they think that the Inklings' practicing of Turf Wars is proof that the Inklings love war.
The Octarians see the Inklings as a vain, materialistic group of barbarians whose only ambition in life is murdering Octarians and kidnapping Octarian children. Little do they know that most Inklings have forgotten that the Octarians still exist.
Camden Sanders
A-are the sisters coming back, are the spats coming back?
Michael Bennett

Aiden Gutierrez
octarians themselves may or may not be inherently more peaceful but it doesnt matter when their society must play follow the warlord. one things for sure, theyre dedicated to science, but that is also what enables octavio to follow through with his schemes. id like to see more of their weird technology in the sequel, perhaps even meeting some of their top nerds.
Brayden Murphy
Demo trailers for the four weapons available during this weekend's Testfire.

Jose Evans
T-that seems a little strong, won't this be the go-to/winning weapon of the testfire? None of the other weapons seem fast enough to counter that without at least a mutual kill.
Brandon Thomas
in that matchup it sure seems terrifying, but i wonder what its like when the full loadouts are available. im bummed out that the splattershot didnt seem to gain anything.
Ryan Garcia
...
Jose Clark
They seem to be smart, but just kind of hive minded and probably isolated mentally. I could imagine them spying on Inklings and misreading everything they do and breathing all sorts of complicated things into their very simple to understand behavior. Oh, everyone in Inkopolis listens to Callie & Marie, they must be the leaders of the Inklings like Octavio is our shogun, right? Let's kidnap them and hold them for ransom!
We will see new Octo-tech, but I wonder if the single player will be any deeper than before in terms of lore and characters.
Luis Rodriguez

AT LEAST YOU HAVE A NINTENDO SWITCH
Ryan Foster
Channel that rage to build the wall another 10 feet higher. Mix the remains of your enemies in to the foundations for extra body.
Ian Bailey
I went to a gamestop on launch day and they said they only had like half a dozen retail. But Target and Walmart literally had tens upon tens of switches on launch day. Getting one was really easy. The problem is people's first instincts are "go to Amazon" or "go to Gamestop" that they forget the obvious until it's too late.
Cooper Cox
Well fuck you both were supposed to restock and it was the same case at both stores, at that point I was too annoyed to give a shit and I went home and drew dicks on swapdoodle.

I-I-Is anyone going to be playing during the testfire?
Ayden Garcia
testire? isnt it a bit early? just when is this game coming out?
John Ortiz
The testfire is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and the game is supposed to be out this summer. So it isn't too early. I assume they've had to been developing it for sometime, or at least most of the concepts. But who fucking knows
Grayson Allen
I'm really ambivalent about it, on one hand I don't want to miss out on Spla2n, on the other hand the array of technical issues and price point all tell me it's a bad idea.
Grayson Perry
that picture made me ink in my pants

Isaiah Sullivan

Noah Powell
Honestly I was hoping there'd be a lot more to it. At least an Internet browser or Miiverse replacement. If it wasn't for me being A FUCKING NINTENDOFAG and knowing better games were on their way, I wouldn't get it. Can't honestly recommend to others at this point, and probably for a while. Yeah, but it's not like it will be the end of the world. I was kind of iffy on Splatoon's test fire, but the actual release and the OC being made both ingame and on here really made it feel so much better. So you probably won't be missing much other than an immediate hands on a demo. This shit pisses me off too fam. I would have been able to look a bit past it if they had an immediate replacement to Console Doodles and Shitposting, but there's so much that was fucked up with the launch I don't even care one way or another at this point. Not exactly like I can play doubles advocate for the shit.
As for technical stuff, I haven't had too much trouble thankfully, minor fps issues here and there, but nothing too big. Again though, can't recommend the console to anyone at this point.
Isaiah Martin
I don't own a Switch, so I'm torn between watching Testfire streams to live vicariously, and not spoiling myself at all. Part of me wants to pick the game up some day, go in blind, and maybe experience that special feeling again like the first time I played Splatoon. The other part of me wants to know if Splatoon 2 is worth it ahead of time so I don't have to buy a Switch.
Connor Wright
ADD ME IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN TESTFIRE
3545-4706-4989
Xavier Long
If it's anything like the Testfires for the first game, the only option will be Random Matchmaking.
Christian Phillips
If you don't own a switch already pretty much give up on getting to play the testfires. They're basically impossible to find, or at 100 dollar or more over what they should be sold as scalp prices. It's fucking retarded.
David Morgan
I Pity them
Blake Lee
I don't. Well except for the experience difference.
I'd love to re-experience that rush of playing splatoon for the first time.
Robert Johnson
Fuck thats right. Worse case future friendos then.
Nolan Ortiz
I wasn't planning on it. Like I said, part of me wants to ignore everything, buy a Switch sometime after launch, and maybe re-experience a tiny bit of what I felt when I first played Splatoon… but there's a 99% chance I'm going to binge streams and reviews and see what the consensus is first. Hoping we'll get some reviews from Splatoon fans that aren't total dicksuckers and can objectively explain how it compares to the original.
I got incredibly lucky with Splatoon. I literally hadn't seen any game footage before I bought it, I had just fapped to some of the porn and knew the general concept. It blew me away like a video game hasn't since I was a child. Sadly I think there's fat chance the later games will ever have the same impact for me, or that I'll ever experience that with a video game ever again. It's way too difficult to be genuinely surprised by a game in this age of pervasive social media.
Brayden Young
(check'd) While dubs don't usually lie fam, I hope you're wrong in this case. And while Nintendo seems to be almost as good as Konami at shooting themselves in the foot over anything good, I hope that it isn't the case with Splatoon.
I'll be honest with you man, I had the exact same feeling when I first booted up Splatoon. It felt…it felt perfect. Everything was so bright, cheery, and vibrant, the players were all making cute drawings, the fan art of cute squids doing cute things was all over the internet. Even the ridiculous ad's song was stupid but catchy.
There's so many ways Spla2n can go right, but many that can make it go wrong. Like I was saying earlier, if they can pull out an internet browser for easy shitposting and sharing of images, a Miiverse equivalent for drawing and sharing quotes, the game will go far again and may be even more successful than the first one. That's implying the music stays catchy (shouldn't be a problem) the single player is better and more than just a tutorial (hopefully) and multiplayer uses many of the single player's elements (One map has already shown the inkline(?) being in a map, so this is quite likely) and it will be solid, but it's user created content that will keep the game alive.
Elijah Richardson
Enjoy getting stabbed in the back for your wallet.
Jose Ortiz
Are we ready for the testfire?
Or are we too broke or too pissed at Nintendo's paid online to even try?
Adam Cook
I dont really have much interest in the switch but I love splatoon. I may nab it when it gets more games but for now I cant really justify the cost. This game was fun, I wish a played it just a bit more.

Hope you cool squids have fun in the test fire. I myself don't have much of a reason to get the Switch and probably won't for a bit.

Alexander Jones
That's a shame, I think the opposite. Can't speak for the value of the discord community if there's already one.
Did you manage to organize fanmade splatfests in all this time?
Joseph Stewart
My thoughts:
I played Splatoon 2 using both the Joy-Con Grip and the Pro Controller, and I have to say that the pro controller is the best way to play Splatoon 2.
The trigger buttons are mildly acceptable on the Joy-Cons, especially if you want to play in portable mode in situations where you may not have a choice, but the Pro Controller is the absolute best way if you're playing it at home and on your ass.
If you don't have the Pro Controller yet, be sure to get it before you get this game.
Angel Nguyen
Watching a testfire stream, taking notes as I go.
How does the Pro Controller feel vs. the Wii U gamepad?
Jack Gray
Does the pro controller have gyro?
Zachary Wright
...
Xavier Wilson
Yes, Switch Pro Controller has gyro. Pic related will be lost to history.
Gabriel Green
I like the new defeat song.
Luke Flores
Honestly, playing with the joycons attached to the switch feels like you're playing it on the Wii U gamepad, minus the fact that the right analog stick is on the bottom and not on the top.
Imagine seeing Splatoon universe octopus equivalent of Metroid Prime's infamous "science team" belonging to the Space Pirates.
Always seemed weird they never put a gyro in the Wii U Pro Controller, Nintendo must have assume the plentiful supply of reused Wii Remotes would sort every players gyro needs.
Connor Myers
I feel like Nintendo didn't understand the potential of gyro controls in non-casual games until Splatoon.
Luke Price
I'm in the mumble if anyone wants me
Luis White
I'm getting comfy for the test fire.
So is matchmaking for the test fire all random as expected?
David Ortiz
Just like last time, yes.
Evan Watson
I never played Splatoon the first time around. I had a Wii U, but I didn't have the time to invest in a multiplayer game when it came out.
Would you suggest playing the single player mode before this game comes out?
Nicholas Rivera
The single player is a nice quick little way to ease yourself into the game. As great as the final boss battle is,most of it is a glorified tutorial. It's cute and interesting, but quick, collecting the Sea Scrolls or not.
Elijah Howard
I guess I was interested because I heard that the lore is actually pretty interesting, and I hope I wouldn't miss out on some background. Plus I believe they said the story has a bigger role in this game.
Easton Torres
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the single player, and did collect all the sea scrolls. But it's a real short single player. But the game itself has been one of my favorite new games recently
I just wanted to have my own squid room to decorate to spend my hard on squidbucks on
Jackson Howard
I can't wait to see what the demon gun of this game is. I almost miss vanilla 96 gal in a masochistic way.
Does anyone have that comic of the two kids faxing their drawings into the internet after the world ended due to climate change?
I'm not sure what you're suggesting: are you considering buying Splatoon 1 just for the single player? If so, I can't recommend that since the campaign is beatable in an afternoon, even with the hidden scrolls.
Easton Hill
I played the first game for 2 months until I got tired of it. One thing I never understood was how to increase my average score and getting good. Any advice?
Jonathan Reyes
I was going to pirate it or borrow it from my brother.
Joseph Powell
I tested LAN adapater vs Wireless with my router being able to handle both my max speeds and the only difference I saw was in trying to get a match and the quickness of it.
Luke Morris
You'd better not be implying you played nothing but turf war for two months. A monkey could get to level 10 in that much time.
I'd say borrow it, then. There's so little to the single player it's not worth the trouble to have the files sitting around.
Asher Brown
I played more than just turf war I just feel im ineffective and my score reflects it.
Eli Baker
Im playing better now but I bet because there are no japs
Kevin Diaz
That more than likely seems to be the case. As far as I can tell the Japanese train their people in all manner of war and subterfuge through games like this. It's the only thing I can conclude after being what I like to call "Tojo'd" so many times. The act of Tojo is to hide in a small corner or on a wall, and as a proud Patriotic Squid goes by, they leap out and attack. Such is their ruthless nature.
Liam Anderson
Fucking gooks cant hide their true nature.
Wyatt Hernandez
The most important thing is to be predictive: that's what most competitive activities are based upon, whether it's video games or sports. Once you put enough time into the basic mechanics and learn how to use each weapon, you can start assessing what each weapon wants to do.
Rollouts are the simplest way to see this in action. A roller will want to move to a different part of, say Walleye Warehouse from the part a charger will. If you see the enemy team two chargers, you can be sure he will zoom forward and hop onto the crate just in front of midfield, for instance.
This applies to snap decisions, too, such as where to throw a splat bomb to shut down the enemy's movement options. A blaster can't climb walls very quickly, for instance, so you would want to cover, say, a ramp or a doorway instead of a wall. The only advice I can give you - a bit too late now, but whatever - is to practice. Once you get the mechanics of the game down the point where your lizard brain handles them and you don't have to think anymore, you can start analyzing things in the game's language and gitting gud.
The FGC has a good mantra to accompany this process: every game you play, you either win or learn.
Jordan Hill
It was the opposite for me this last hour.
Honestly, if you guys are gonna play in portable mode a lot when this comes out, invest in something like pic related, if for nothing else then just the joycon grips that come with it. I decided to play without mine this hour just to see how it felt and it felt pretty nerve racking because the entire back of the Switch is so flat. The mario grips at least make the back of the Switch feel more like the Wii U pad as they rest on your index or middle fingers.
One thing that is bothering me is that it feels too like Charger players are going to seriously be held back by the Switch's control scheme when in portable mode. The other weapons it's fine cause they're not really about precision as much as covering wider areas of turf. But if you're a charger player like me who is used to using a combination of gyro and analog aim to get precise splats or making paths for traveling around the map, you might feel like you have more trouble than with the other weapons when the Switch isn't docked.
Owen Wood
dammit
Jacob James
To be fair, a squid waifu to help train you in something they've been doing their entire preteen life a pretty solid investment
John Richardson
Well, how was it?
Benjamin Long
It's fun. It's Splatoon, so if you like the first, you'll like this. Not much has changed except it plays a little smoother. The only real negative is that the Switch's right analog stick is in an awkward place.
Cameron Gomez
I would invest in a squidgirl if I could. ;_;
William Cooper
Can anyone confirm if they changed the gyro in anyway? I've been hearing some people say the gyro only allows Y axis now or something like that.
Ryder Reyes
It's the same default gyro as the first
Brody Howard
As someone who didn't play the first much, it was OK. On the one hand, the game really is refreshing from the usual console (and even PC these days) shooter shit. On the other hand, the matchmaking is terrible (living in Australia and getting almost exclusively paired with japs who fucking wrecked everyone) and the inability to use motion controls while also using the Y axis on the right stick completely baffles me.
Evan Watson
I didn't notice anything like this.
Nathaniel Nelson
I honestly think it was just the Japs outnumbered everyone else playing like 10 to 1. I almost never had another player with a non Japanese name after the first 8 months Except all you wonderful faggots here who would play privates with me so it was either Git Gud or get memed on. Sometimes I did well, other times I got fucked up.
Gabriel Price
It's right there in the options. You can enable the Y axis on the right stick with motion controls enabled.
I feel that splatoon 2's speed is slower than 1. Idk, I know that I am used for using swim speed, but this game somehow feels slower and more sluggish. Maybe I am not used to the pro controller, but I am getting the same vibes that I got when I first started playing SSB Brawl after years of Melee
Michael Myers
A friend and I felt that it moved smoother.
Jason Reed
...
Jack Wood
is there a way to give feedback?
Isaiah James
Biggest thing I hate about it is the music, it's so shit and it ruins the mood. In Splatoon the music was hype and I got pretty amped at times, this just pales in comparison, it's hot garbage. My only criticism, the game is good I have no reason to hate on it, but the music THE MUSIC is shit.
Agree first thing I noticed was it felt slower, but as I played it was good.
Luke Taylor
I think it has uses for certain places, but it's definitely not a close quarters special. I feel like it's more of a high point looking down on everyone or to cover large portions of the map like that.
But then again I didn't get much of a chance to mess with it. So I can't tell you
How good is the lag compensation in Splatoon 2? I was able to very stably play at 600-800 ping in splatoon.
Lincoln Turner
hoo boy, what a shitty game. No wonder the open beta is just 1 hour long at a time. You'd notice how crappy it is if it was the whole weekend.
Jayden Foster
Are you actually playing it or just being a faggot?
Logan Martin
I tried it out yesterday. Didn't enjoy it at all.
Didn't like the trailers from the wii u version, I'm glad to see my instincts were right.
Xavier Murphy
git gud
Joseph Allen
I only ask because you are referring to essentially a final build of a game for a network stress test as a beta. You smell of faggotry
Dominic Harris
It's not about being good or bad, its about not enjoying the whole experience. Didn't like the character design, map design (small), match time (why so quick? feels like I spend a lot of time looking at menus).
What about the guns? One feels like a consoley machine gun (zero precision, think halo 1's standard rifle). The Roller feels like cheating. The charges makes me wish I was using a mouse instead of gimmicky aiming.
Ethan Howard
The definition of an open beta is very wide, isn't it? Every now and then there's an open beta for a game that's going to be released next week.
Nathaniel Campbell
Well then it's not a beta. Games are required by most country's consumer protection laws to be finished months in advance to be properly authenticated and rated by commerce authorities.
Cooper Edwards
There was literally a menu and a lobby. The character design is on you, as unless you hate the idea of squid kids, you're able to dress up in all sorts of things, including new types of pants and hair which was usually covered up by hats and the like in the first game, map design is small because it's 4 on 4 players. There's no point in maps the size of say Battlefield, Red Orchestra, GTA, or other shooters/sandbox(ish) games because the player count is small. The match times are quick because it's turf war. It's supposed to be a frantic two minute battle for new players and people who want to just have a quick match before doing other things. Ranked matches usually last a hell of a lot longer than that, especially if the groups are evenly matched.
As for weapon types, it depends on what you prefer as a player. The last game steadily increased the weapon variety and types over the course of it's release, and the testfire for that only had the splattershot. The Roller is a pain for newer players to counter but it really isn't that big a deal once you know how to deal with it. The charger is easy to handle once you get used to the gyro's and plenty of veteran players feel like it's almost better than mouse aiming.
Hell, my go to gun wasn't even in the testfire but I had a decent time.
Elijah Evans
You're only going to nitpick about me calling it a beta?
Developers send betas as "final code" so the game can go through these processes. They end up releasing day 1 patches because of that. One could say that often the unpatched released game is still a beta version.
They're testing it, right? Means something they can still find a problem and fix it. Maybe it'll be a server-side problem, maybe client side. Since its so close to launch, a day 1 patch would be the solution.
You can call it a "testfire" or whatever other marketing label you want.
Gavin Garcia
Yes, how fucking dare you be wrong on the internet you little bitch.
Leo James

Noah Phillips
Aren't we all baiting each other here? Isn't it what this is all about?
Brandon Wood

Julian Adams
Question: how many weapons were in the first Splatoon? I got to try the testfire and I had a lot of fun with it, but I forgot to try the charger. Were there much more in the previous game?
Also, I saw that those 4 loadouts already had a special power and a grenade type chosen for me. Are those decided by the weapon you pick or can you pick whatever combinaton you think might work instead?
The game kinda reminds me of Loadout, but with cute squids and better mobility instead of ugly whales and micro transactions.
Can't found people for trying. Sometimes the guy ain't baiting, he's just very confused and an honest conversation can get someone else to have fun as well. This is not the case this time, though…
I miss the Holla Forums that talked about the videogames they liked and ignored everything else, the Holla Forums that had fun playing videogames, not shitposting online and being contrarian for the sake of stirring shit and seeing how many reactions it could get.
Nowadays, if you start a server for any game and ask for people to play with you, you'll get maybe 5-10 people joining. But start a thread to shit talk about some stupid AAA game and it's hundreds of people…
No, this is not what it is all about. But you wouldn't know better.
Ian Brown
In terms of weapon types there was the Splattershots, the Blasters, the Chargers, the Rollers, The Splatling Guns, the Gals, the Sloshers, and I think I'm missing a couple but those were default types. In all those types you had a bunch of different varieties in there.
For instance, in the blaster group, you had the regular blaster and it's "Deco" Version (Which was basically a sticker on the side of the gun, and a different loadout set to go with it), the range blasters (the blaster had a certain range until the glob of paint it fired detonated, the range blaster had a longer range of that, but it meant that if enemies got close all you could hope for was a direct hit or you were screwed), rapid blasters (much higher fire rate, but uses ink quicker, slightly extended range, but smaller explosions when it did explode), and luna blasters (shorter range). These all had different versions in each set with a different loadout. You can't choose custom weapons, but they all usually sync up pretty well with one another. The default range blaster for instance if I recall correctly had a splash wall, which meant you had some defense and could make mini chokepoints or defend things for your team if you used it right. It did use a lot of ink, so usually I would use gear that lowered sub weapon and main weapon ink usage.
Despite the fact you can't choose the sub types and loadouts, there is usually something for everyone despite that. They also released quite a few different things over the course of Splatoon's lifetime, including new weapon types. Not sure how many they will have on release, but it should be more than just the first 4.
Lucas Hall
So, why Splatoon made so much success in Japan? Considering it was a shooter, made for a Nintendo Home Console and that its first announcement was in an event focused on the west? Somehow it managed to be really huge there, what was the reason for such success? Is it really that big there like Pokemon or Dragon Quest?
Jonathan Evans
There's currently 91 weapons available in Splatoon.
He's obviously baiting, calling the game shit and then his only rebuttal is "muh shit opinions".
Leo Rivera
So you have weapon types and then varieties to them to further tweak their variables, cool. Too bad that you can't customize the loadout, but as long as the options given to you mesh well together, it really shouldn't be a problem.
Probably because it's a shooter that doesn't look violent at all, just fun. I dunno, didn't thought it was that big if you're gonna compare it with Pokemon, but I'm guessing it's the casual play style with matchmaking and just dropping in a random match, doing your best, assuming that's how the game will run. Japanese are very casual with their games unless it's their sole hobby or job. Maybe it is indeed the non-violence of it that draws interest over any other shooter, considering you can score points just painting things so even bad FPS players are gonna like it.
That's impressive. TF2 is more than a decade old and I don't think they reached that number yet.
William Powell
Kinda misleading to say there's 91 weapons, when the vast majority are just reskins with kit. The amount of true variety is still pretty damn impressive. That's 35 different unique weapons, not counting variations. And many play meaningfully different from each other, it's not just "a rifle, a differently looking rifle, a shittier rifle that nobody ever uses, etc"
Jaxson Davis
Split Joy-cons in docked mode feels fucking perfect.
Ethan Flores
monster lolis and being unique
Asher Morris
can you aim the two guns separately if you split joy cons?
Fresh from the drawthread, Tanya Degurechaff as an Inkling from Splatoon.
Jason Brooks
really wish post deletion wasn't fucked
Jaxon Nguyen
Watched some of the testfire on a stream. It looks like Splatoon but with paid online so until they shut down WiiU matchmaking I doubt I'll switch. With the progress of Cemu as well I would not be surprised if we get Splatoon multiplayer on PC in the near future too.
Anthony Martinez
ALRIGHT YOU FUCKS I'M GOING TO BE IN MUMBLE WITHIN THE HOUR SO LET'S PLAY SOME BATTLE SQUIDS BEFORE THE SERVERS SHUTTER
