Lol I hope not!You might be right.
Alright, that is good to know.
He will be a stage hazard as annoying as Roidley in the Pyrosphere

5 I think, but the dynamo has a single player icon as well, so I don't know how it ties in.
Regular chargers never go over 100 until you hit full charge. The idea is that you want any sort of damage increase so you can release slightly earlier and still get a kill.
Doesn't apply to squiffer as it has too low of a damage before it reaches full.
the game is ripe for esports

Well I don't think he would be playable. Maybe an assist trophy then.
Indeed it does, I'm halfway to level 19 right now.
It should takes about 3 hours, gonna chain random lobbies.
I definitely want to see some tournaments, but nintendo will really need to add much better functionality for that to happen. I know we're going to get custom lobbies later, but we don't know much about that either. Hopefully they won't screw that up.
Squidboards is going to have an online league once matchmaking is unlocked. Most people plan on using Skype for that.
The hindrance for the tournaments in-person is that everyone needs to bring their own Wii U + TVs.
There's no LAN play and no way of saving Inkling profiles to anything other than a Wii U. Fun as it is, it probably won't have an esport scene.
what, 18 -> 20 took me like an hour and 15 minutes or less?
Just play ranked the whole time
i was kidding, i think the game would not be suited for that type of "gaming" for a bunch of reasons (both technical and philosophical in nature)
Unreliable. If you lose by knockout, you don't get anything.
Then don't lose duh

I'd be okay with that
Once we can start making custom lobbies -- ones where players from opposite sides of the world won't be automatically matched up -- definitely.
There are already a lot of interesting strategies surfacing in ranked play, and it seems like the high-rank weapon metagame is evolving every day. Splatoon will be very difficult for the competitive community to solve.
Easier said then done dude
I wouldn't be surprised if a later entry, like a handheld one or something, managed to actually have a few offline tournaments. But yeah, as it is...it just isn't going to happen lol.
Not sure if this was posted already, but the Inkbrush is coming tonight at 7pm PT.
That's the idea bruh

Can't find the amiibo 3 pack anywhere, I picked up the girl and boy, I'll give it another week before I open them. Can't believe they didn't release the squid amiibo in a single pack.
From a technical (technique) point of view, this game would make a great competitive shooter due to all the nuances and styles of play.
That said, its very hard to actually make anything out of it because of no LAN capabilities and everyone needing WiiUs. You'd need a LOT of systems to make a tournament that could run at a reasonable rate.
That said, NoA did make the tweet with the MLG Splatoon shirt, so... lol.
What if they held off LAN mode too
YEESSSS.
I, for one, have taken a liking to the this roll out thing because its been effectively forcing me to test/play with weapons I wouldn't have used much of if at all in the past out of sheer novelty of "new car smell".
Send help.
I don't think you can hold off a feature that the WiiU OS is incapable of doing, unless they have some sort of way of actually doing it and just never have or have never needed to use it. Also the system has no actual built in e-port, so it makes the whole thing a mess.

It seems like no one ever expect the dynamo roller to one shot them with its ranged swing thingy
They'd have to make some "tie Inkling to Amiibo/3DS" mode too then. Otherwise you'd have to do standardized loadouts or have every single player bring their own Wii U to the event.
Thanks! Fantastic news. So excited. Hope it shakes things up.
lol, the range is always farther than I realize.
This, probably, could be done. Since the Inklings have no write data for the game, they are read only (hence why its so easy to just trade them around to unlock everything).
Dynamo roller is good but its a terrible shotgun like weapon. It's just god awful at short range (to slow of a swing and too slow of a run). And of course it's terrible at long range. At mid range though? It's a god damn beast.
It's shotgun is its shtick. When rolling, it has no special qualities other than being slower.
Holy shit that's amazing. It's gonna be a great killing weapon.
No problem, its really useful.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
All the props in the world to those that can obtain an A+ ranking. I've bern stuck at A for over two days, and to sustain a streak long enough to reach A+ almost seems impossible.

Any OS with a half-decent networking library should be able to do LAN. Also, Ethernet to USB adapters are a thing.
I've always seen shotguns as good at short range, ok at midrange, terrible longrange weapon that you can surprise foes with. Dynamo roller is terrible at short range, beastly at midrange, and terrible at long range, and its slow swing makes it hard to surprise foes with it.
If we were going by Halo weapons, I'd say it has more the feel of the Energy Hammer.
I was able to use a room full of bad players to climb to B, and that's the highest I've gotten.
I resent you.

Well I don't really play it, but the two or so times I picked the dynamo roller, the opponent team had no idea how to react to it. I am waiting for the brush to get into melee weapons.
playing ranked mode for the first time today and its been annoying, i dont know what it is but i keep feeling like im stuck in teams who all gang up on one zone while the other team is splitting up and getting their players in advantageous positions. im going to have to switch out of the roller because every time i wind up having to be the one to try and take out players on the other team in high areas on the skatepark just sniping on zones because no one else even bothers to go after them.
Then there was the time where i got stuck 4 on 1 because 3 dudes on my team disconnected within the first minute, so that was fun.
