Welcome to the official discussion thread for Splatoon on the Wii U!

Splatoon is Nintendo's unique twist on the shooter genre. Shoot ink on both your friends and environments to win the match! Players can turn into squids and 'swim' through their team's ink color. Players can also use their team's ink color to slow down enemy movement. It's ink or be inked in this chaotic marriage of third person shooters, de Blob, and good ole fashioned paintball.
Fun games tonight Lou, mrbiggsly (though you crashed the game at some point... I blame you! ) and TBun! First time using a roller online so I had to get used to it but it's quite a fun weapon to use!
You guys play so late! Where's my 7-10p EDT guys at? That's when I can get on usually during the week. I took the Luna thing on Ranked last night and while it was useful sorta, it's not really meant for that world. I switched to one of the usual sprayers and had a better time. My first time sending out those seeker mines. Those are cool. We had some great wins finally on there and while I'm still a C+, I'm a little bit higher of a C+.
But unfortunately, I cannot play the single player until I fix my L-stick. I think it's perma-busted. Stage 11 is impossible, because I cannot keep my character still. The stick defaults to characters moving backwards, but I can still move forward. But it's a constant fight of moving forward and backwards. Doing the Hold A, B, +, - for 3 seconds trick results in my character being able to move forward, but not backwards at all. So that's even worse. I even got my air compressor and blew air through it, thinking there was dust or something. No dice.
I suppose I'll order the 4 dollar part and try to do it myself, rather than pay the 75 dollars for Nintendo to do it. Stupid buttons.
Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting someone. And how could I, you splat me a lot But yes, that was a satisfying splat for me That Dynamo Roller is so slow though! Really have to plan some of your kills.
I got the Dynamo Roller last night and plan on giving it a go today. It looks pretty devastating.
Have we had a update every single week for this game? Are we getting another tomorrow? I plan on taking it easy this weekend and just relaxing at home so I hope I can get some good time gaming in this weekend.
I didn't understand people's issue with that except for with the Dynamo Roller. The new roller is so light and quick that it feels too good. Where the Dynamo flicks too well, this one rolls too well. Maybe I need to change my load out but last night was frustrating because of it.
The Carbon Roller is really fun to use, and it looks cool, too! Its reduced rolling power and increased mobility really sets it apart from the other rollers. I haven't used this weapon type nearly as much as the others, but I'm enjoying the learning curve.
I actually did enjoy it but I hate it's lack of flick power. I literally couldn't roll over people either which was new to discover. Krak-Splat roller is still my fav.
So I've managed to pull myself into a level '58' RANK B in Ranked Mode. Hell yeah. It's nerve-wracking as I climb up and up. At this point I'd be happy winning as much as losing so I stay relatively in the same area.
