Splatoon Splatoon General Discussion (HYPE THREAD)

Well after looking over that guide the Defense and Strength boosts do virtually nothing, although it did say that Strength boosts are beneficial for .52 Gal users and I use the .52 Gal Deco in Turf Wars so I could use that. Also now I'm not too sure about whether or not I should change to Ink Resistance Up, but I do tend to get attacked when I SJ to teammates so I might as well keep Stealth Jump.

I envy those players I see with full slots on everything and nice, evenly-distributed abilities everywhere... while still looking dope. I think the main problem is the color of your clothes doesn't change with your hat, then you look all disorganized.

They do virtually nothing but to me it feels like it would be worthwhile having at least one of each. At any rate, it's only 2 out of 9 available slots anyway (not including the 3 main slots), plus I've been trying to avoid the stuff that helps you when you die. If there's anything I've learned from PvP over the years it's that you shouldn't prioritize skills that help you when you've died, since you shouldn't be planning to die!

Plus, looking on that guide, 5/13 of the skills are pretty situational anyway and won't help with certain weapons and circumstances (the last 5 on the list, Special Duration - Bomb Range). I probably won't need or at least want any of those ones with the weapons I like using (plus being reluctant to get 'death related skills'), so I have some spare room for the possibly unnecessary attack and defense boosts :3
I may try and get Super Jump speed with the spare slot though since you can super jump at any time.



My goggles and boots are black anyway, so they go well with any color :P It is annoying when you see them with such good skills though and I'm sat there with 4 defense boosts and a ton of special duration -.-

I'm probably not going to end up caring what I look like once I find out what skills I want. The main ones I want are the two ninja ones and tenacity.

I'm too vain to not care...Whether I'm doing good or bad, at least I'm always looking great xD

Damn it! I remodeled my jacket and now I'm back up to 4 defense boosts!

I'm sure it's doing this on purpose ;-;

I'm more of an aggressive player, so I'll usually rush in to the enemy's area to try to take them out. This happens more often in ranked battles though. I'm not planning to die but I know it's probably gonna happen a bit so I keep some skills handy to compensate. I don't focus on those ones though.

Also I love how you and I keep doing the thing where we kill each other at the same time. xD
My goal is to sneak up on you and attack. Sometimes you catch me, sometimes you don't, heh.

I'm usually pretty aggressive with most weapons, especially the Aerospray and Jr where I can get massive points and great K/D ratios with minimal effort :P Even with the rollers where I think "I'm just gonna take it easy and stroll around", I end up being really aggressive with it and actively trying to smack everybody.

Chargers I stay back a little bit with though because of their charge, especially the E-liter. If I miss a close up shot with that thing I may as well just sit and accept death with the time it takes to charge a shot.
Especially so since I'm still getting used to using chargers in regular matches. I'm pretty good with them in ranked but regular I'm a bit more useless xD



I combine looking good AND having good skills. :cool:

Also, I tried playing Disney Infinity earlier and when I wanted to move the camera or aim, I kept tilting the gamepad and wondering why it didn't work.

I demand that gyro controls be an option in all Wii U games that have camera controls damn it!

Would having ninja jump as a main ability be any different to having it as a sub ability?

It and a few other skills are locked as main abilities, so...

Thats gotta take some skill XD Or luck!

You just have to choose a color and MATCH IT! ^_^
Also look at your options so you can choose the one with the best ability.

Oh okay, I'm probably going to use ninja squid, tenacity and stealth jump as my main abilities :3 now I just need to find the clothes for ninja squid and tenacity!

Oh okay, do you know if tenacity is a main ability only?

I don't know all of them, but I know, that, Ninja Squid, Ninja Jump, Ink Resistance Up, and Comeback are main ability locked.
 
Definitely up! Although, yeah, not sure how it'd work, unless we go by most points or KOs but that could be influenced by the team rotations.
