Splatoon on the Wii U
9.14/10 from 33 user ratings

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.

Whoa. That had to be one trippy experience. I hope Nintendo is still trying to find these people and ban them.

Up to Level 8. The splatling gun is pretty hard to use!

@Anand The splatling line are some of my faves. They are tricky to use yes, but if you can get a handle on how to be efficient, they can be quite deadly. The key with the regular Splatling and the Hydra is to try and keep the opponents at range, as they out-range most weapons. One tip I can give is that you don't always have to charge it all the way up to be effective, such as to paint or if an opponent is close.

@Mop it up
Good tips, thanks! I was using it in close combat mostly, but it was more effective when I was standing on a tower, at least for painting the level.

Honestly, I suck with almost every weapon right now. I also can't use the subweapons effectively, and the only super that I'm comfortable with is the bubbler. I start to sweat when I get dropped into a match with 7 Level 50s. I need at least a couple of fellow amateurs in there with me!

Would anyone here like to set up a time for some Squid Squads before the sequel comes out?

Splatlings are amazing and they have a really good set of Sub/Special loadouts. A well placed splash wall can win you pretty much any fire fight, the point sensor is nice for keeping people from hiding from you (that loadout also has the Kraken which is great for escaping out of tight spots) and sprinklers are just plain amazing to have in turf wars.

The best part of the heavy splatling is when people try to just charge at you head on with their guns blazing because they don't realize that a head on confrontation is the Heavy Splatling's specialty.

@Mop it up

6 or 7 pm set saturday?

@DrFinkelstein I'm guessing your "EST" was auto-corrected to "set"? If so, it might work. I'll check back in later to confirm.

@Mop it up

Just finished dinner. I'd be down for that 7pm EST slot.

Yeah, my phone reset it to Set. I'll be on Discord chat in a little bit before 7. It'd be easier to see when you're ready than just continually refreshing this.

Playing random matches now. Will refresh between matches. Not in Discord atm.

@DrFinkelstein Yeah, I was just about to say that it shows you as offline. You gonna hop back into Discord, or you want to use negWorld's chat?

@Mop it up

Discord is fine.

@Mop it up RIP Mibbit.

@pokepal148

You mean G2H Mibbit?

I wasn't expecting to run into you in Turf War, Stephen! Those were some fun matches. We really held down the fort in that last game at Saltspray Rig.

Splatoon 2 is only a few weeks away, so it feels like a good time to jump back into Splatoon and get some games in.

@Octorockin

That was great Octo! I often am the top dog in matches but I am continually amazed at how with the charger you are the top dog! Well done!

I'll keep an eye out for you some more. Can't wait for Splatoon 2! I recorded those matches too because I'm tinkering with my new capture device.
07/07/17, 03:30   
@DrFinkelstein

Thanks! I'm looking forward to using different chargers in Splatoon 2.

It would be interesting to watch those matches from your perspective. Do you plan on using your capture device for Splatoon 2?

And yeah, feel free to join me if I'm online!

@Octorockin

I do plan to. Not sure how but I do.
07/07/17, 13:47   
I got rolled! Good games, nonetheless. That one match where it was us and two other charger players was fun. It felt like the three of us were covering you while you were forging ahead!
07/08/17, 23:32   
@Octorockin

That was a wild game Peter! I took note that it was us and some other chargers. I just did my best cover turf while you and the squad you clearly lead took guys out for me. What a win!

Great to see you pop in again. So hyped for Splatoon 2 and I am loving my time still with Splatoon all these months since release.

@DrFinkelstein

Same here! Splatoon is one of the most memorable games I've ever played. I'm so ready for Splatoon 2!
