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.
It got so bad that we ended up with a bunch of 4 v 2 matches in a row in which we creamed the stupid Pop supporters. The last match was 4 v 1. After that it couldn't find anymore people willing to lay down their lives for a doomed cause and I got booted back to the lobby
The low amount of Team Pop fighters feels weird to me, 'cause when I was playing before the Splatfest, I seemed to see far more Pop supporters than Rock fans. That obviously doesn't have to be representative of anything, but it made me even more surprised to see the team situation.
@VofEscaflowne Holy crap. Guess I won't be bothering with trying to get to the top then. I'm working on the second highest rank right now though.
@Shadowlink Cool - I forgot you guys were PAL too.
Eat it, pop-tarts!
EDIT: My team mates must be HOT SHIT because I've been constantly bottom of the group for about 5 games now. I think Jargon is in the mix - dude must be tearing it up!
I'm starting to root for Team Pop now. Not because of the underdog thing, even though I'm a sucker for that, but because I'm constantly teamed up with a bunch of absolute muppets. The last game the remaining three of my team insisted on going together at all times, and most of the time they ended up in some small cranny where they did nothing but die spectacularly over and over again. I'm surrounded by idiots.
Wowwwwww. I was out with Dapper Dave (and our respective girlfriends) for my birthday at Dave & Buster's and apparently he has been going there for years and saving up tickets and while I was in the washroom he just up and used his tickets so buy Splatoon for me.
Whatttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
So yeah I have the game now. Will have to try it out tonight.
@Super_Conzo Got 16 snails. Tried to get top rank, but the connection situation was an absolute clusterfuck the last couple of hours for me, with endless errors and bootings, so I saw it slip away.
16 snails is plenty, though. 10 too. That's like, snails to a value of 300 K cash.
I really thought it would be a closer shave, though, this Splatfest. Oh well, we'll see how it goes next time, when Acid Jazz faces off against Grime!
@cooliocuneo You can only use them once you hit level 20. I think your level doesn't affect the possibility of getting them through Splatfest at all.
@Shadowlink Have you logged on to collect your loot for being on the winning team? You'll have things explained for you, I think. But essentially you can give them to Spike (or is it Spyke? Or am I thinking of someone else entirely?) in the back alley instead of money to have him edit your gear for you.
Was I playing a bit with you earlier today, if so you played a game with my 3 year old who was pleased to get a win. It was our first time online tonight.
