Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

A few hours ago I was playing Splatoon and they had the BEST CHARGER MAPS (Saltspray Rig, Arowana Mall) and I was having a BLAST racking up kills. I think I got up to 11 kills and no deaths one battle, and the people on the opposing team, I couldn't help but feel bad for them. For a few hours I actually felt like a really good sniper, the kind everyone wants on their team.

Few hours go by...

"HEY GUYYSS ITS CALLIE AND MARIE AND WERE GONNA GIVE YOU THE WORST CHARGER MAPS LIKE URCHIN UNDERPASS BECAUSE WHYNAUT"
*sigh*

IMO, these are the good and bad charger maps.

Good maps:

Arowana Mall, Saltspay Rig, Hammerhead Bridge*

Decent maps:

Camp Triggerfish, Port Mackerel, Moray Towers**

Bad maps:

Kelp Dome, Urchin Underpass

*Theres a small pocket in Hammerhead
bridge that it's really hard to get to unless you also have a charger. I usually stand there and sniping is super easy.

** Many people say Mkray Towers is a good sniping map, but usually there's a lot of charger users there so it makes it a lot harder.
 
That moment when you're so unlucky in Splatoon you have 26 pieces of gear where the first two abilities are the same but the last one is some random thing. Like am I not allowed to have three or...?

haha I did the same. I turned on motion controls for the first time and tried using the elitre 3k. I loved it

I was averaging 7 splats per match. after the stages changed, I was like "wow maybe I can actually manage to use chargers" and then urchin underpass happened. nope

It's possible to have three of the same, but it's rare to get them without re-rolling. I once got a perfect run-speed up trio on the first go. That being said, I have all or almost all of the gear in the game, and that's the only time that's happened. My other perfect set was a reroll.
 
i spent just under 2 million (all my moneys :() on rerolling yesterday and managed to get 2 perfect gear and nearly the 3rd. The abilities are the ones with 5x likelyhood but I'll take it.. I really need to start doing splatfests again

Whoa! I must be really lucky then, i rerolled my Splatoon Hairclip only 4 times and i got 3 inksaver (main) sub abilities! It is my only "perfect" piece of gear though. I should reroll more.

A lot of my favorite gear is from amiibo/leveling rewards, and those don't have the x5 likelyhood, so rerolling is going to be a party.

Of tears. I still have my normal sets to fall back on, at least.
 
I'm really disappointed in the next NA Splatfest. Most people are really excited about it but I honestly couldn't care less about Pirates or Ninjas and I really had my hopes up for the next Splatfest to be Trick Vs Treat.

The NA ones really haven't been that great lately and I'm actually considering not participating.

That is true, but it's certainly happened before. The only perfect piece I have was gotten through simply leveling up rather than rerolling. I don't have a problem with rerolls (other than the fact that I never have enough for them), it's the fact that I always get two of the probable abilities then end up getting some random thing for the third. It's happened so many times now it's just like... really?

(Granted some of these aren't the probable ones but still. And yeah, the black squideye was a failure too)

I'm sorry but this made my day.

They don't have any x5 chance for any ability? So that would actually mean that i am even more lucky? You made my day ♡
I normally never get lucky with gear!

The following brands don't have the x5 multiplier: amiibo, Cuttlegear, Famitsu, Squid Girl, and KOG(? I think that's what one is...)

I'll need to be super lucky to get anything good. Right now they're okay, but nothing super fantastic, and it's going to be a while before I reach level 50. I'm trying to hoard cash and my Super Sea Snails.
 
I just had a really fun match at Walleye Warehouse. I was standing on the center platform (the cardboard boxes in the middle of the stage, which are super easy to climb up and splat the person on top so I rarely snipe up there) and the match was full of people tossing bombs around. What I found really funny was that no one tried to climb the boxes to kill me, except once at the end of a match but a teammate saved me. I got about 7 kills and zero deaths, I've never done so well on that map with a charger. It was likely because the other team had a bunch of short-range roller users.
 
I was doing really well in ranked, but now that I'm out of C's and into B's it's more intense. I just want to goof around in different gamemodes, but I cannot bring myself to throw matches bc ppl are trying to rank yknow??

So I'm content with hovering around the C+/B- rank

Also is it just my luck, or do more people seem to disconnect from matches at higher ranks? lol
 
What do you guys use as a controller? I might get a wii u soon with this game and not sure if the gamepad is the best since it looks huge.
