Not all Octolings are bad people!
No Octolings pls
Octarians are okay
>>145051761
All Inklings are bad people. Stop spreading this degeneracy.
anemones are for cute
anemones are for lewd
>>145052012
yes
yes
Found this, does /ink/ know already?
>>145052690
check the OP
>>145052732
ohhh, it's been awhile since ive been here, and seeing that reminded me of /ink/
>>145052995
Welcome back then
Remove N-Zap
god damn these damage caps chafe my ass. I really want to use the Dual Squelcher but the 4-shot kills are a dealbreaker. It's so close to be my favorite but the rage from missing the 4th hit isn't worth it
Haven't played in a few months, what are the new 'meta' weapons? I remember it being mostly octo shot, the gals, and chargers.
>>145055440
Berry Splattershot Pro and N-Zap '83.
Who squidbags anymore seriously
>>145055738
Lots of people
>>145055738
I want Marie to squidbag me
>>145055440
It's pretty similar
alex is a stupid nigger
>>145059585
from NintendoLife?????
>>145052995
Welcome back, anon!
I want to lick fancy woomy's tummy.
Cute not lewd
http://exhentai.org/g/943526/33d6ecbde8/
>>145061675
That's a very cute panda
>>145062013
not being able to access exhentai. C'mon it's 2016
>>145055738
I squid bag every squiffer I see in solo queue to let them now how useless they are for failing to kill me
>>145062101
What are you talking about, it's a very cute panda, if a bit saddened
>>145062295
Why? Squiffers are not great weapons.
This fuckin artist.
>>145064727
They're good
Just good
>>145065271
It's a matter of taste, personally i love all their stuff.
Somebody needs to know the sauce
>>145065881
Me too
But it's not amazing stuff
>>145066502
You know the sauce retard
In fact you were shown the fucking content
>>145066667
What fanart is?
>>145066502
There's is no way that actually getting this won't end up in disappointment. It just doesn't look worth the trouble, those tits are nasty
>>145067109
I've found other cosplay that Marie has done; her tits are deflated as fuck
There is some powerful push-up technology at play there
>>145067227
You can see some of it from the images previewed, they are certainly flappy as fuck
Anyone interested in squading?
>>145067625
I could. Just so long as we are treated to with a heavily one-sided helping of Warehouse rather than Towers that is.
What is your NNID?
>>145068802
towers sz is good you dumbdumb
>>145069264
Nah, fuck you. I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt because I actively avoid it when it comes into rotation. But, I just won 6 consecutive matches on Warehouse and the one time it changes to Towers we get steamrolled.
>>145071024
Just because you suck at Towers doesn't make it bad
>>145071024
try cherry h3
>>145071507
If you want to have a good time but still lose
>>145071623
true
We need more sad squids
>>145074163
Sure
>>145071623
well I pretty much always lose anyway
so why not?
>>145074163
Alright.
>>145074651
that's the spirit anon
cherry h3 is new meta, I can feel it. the only things I'm having trouble against are lunas (once they get near you, you're fucked), custom hydras (they out range you and always have their bubble charged), and ss pros (I think they out range h3 after the recent buffs).
>>145075553
It won't catch on
It will be the prime choice for competitive contrarians, but it won't be meta
>>145075656
but it destroys gals with its accuracy and it's so easy to use! if you're in trouble, just use your bubbler and rip through the gooks like butter
>>145075798
Gals are shit now anyway
Hydra does its job better one way or another, and even then that job is seriously niche
>>145075957
yeah, hydra does seem like it does everything better... oh well
>niche job
I just shoot shit and spam walls. how is that niche?
>>145075798
>Easy to use
No? A lot of players will be turned off because of its fiddly firing style.
I feel like the European splatoon community might be minuscule
Holy fuck, the Octobrush is so good now. The buff is the best thing that's ever happened in this game, works like a dream.
Best short range weapon in the game, probably. It's that good.
>>145076247
Setup from a distance and suppress fire using shields for protection
>>145076359
I feel like the Splatoon community might be minuscule.
>>145076485
It's really good now, but no, Carbon still dominates it
>>145076359
The 8 of us from EU that play will enjoy this splatfest facing each other the whole time
>>145076657
Wrong.
>>145076650
In the west it is
>>145076749
Good argument you got there C shitter
>>145076735
I'll enjoy seeing you over and over then.
>>145076880
My argument is I've played the game, used the Octobrush, and can confirm it is better than the Carbon Roller.
Maybe if you played instead of shitposting you'd know too.
>>145076957
Obviously you haven't used the Carbon enough
Dumb fuck
>>145076485
>Octobrush
Remove race traitors.
>>145076342
you get used to it quickly. it's probably the most satisfying weapon in the game once you do
>>145077043
rude
Is buying a Wii U only for this game worth it?
>>145077215
>Most satisfying weapon in the game
That's not the Rapid Blaster.
>>145076657
It's not that clear cut, I think. Octo has so many qualities that make it better than the Carbon, I'd say they're fairly equal.
>>145077305
I'm sure a lot of people here bought a Wii U just for this game. Best money I ever spent.
>>145077305
Couple hundred hours of entertainment if you get into it easy.
>>145077305
yes. you're asking the wrong people, though. of course we'll say yes
>>145077390
such as...?
>>145077390
The way I have them figured out is the Carbon is more aggressive in that it can snatch kills quickly and successively while Brushes in general require more planning and timing since your attacks halt your movement.
But ultimately Splat Roller is still the best.
>>145077807
>splat roller
wew I haven't seen someone use that thing in a long time
>>145077912
Specifically the Hero Roller. It kicks ass on Tower Control.
>>145077305
No, not at all.
Unless you want to try and play in online tournaments, there is no chance you'll ever play with western players.
It also practically requires an ethernet adapter because wifi is incredibly touchy in this game.
>>145077964
Yeah if you're shit.
>>145055738
Squid bagging is so 2015. I spin my woomy around three times when I get a mad ass kill
>>145077594
>such as...?
Splat Bombs, Beakons, Kraken, and light depletion
Faster roll speed, higher range, wider range (almost impossible to miss if you're close enough)
Inks turf and charges specials much faster, inks its feet, has a really fast kill speed (not as fast as the Carbon, but surprisingly fast), no damage falloff like rollers have.
Carbon has the fast one-hit-kill and wider rolling trail, but that's about it. Octobrush is better at everything else.
>>145078123
alright, you've convinced me. if god brush thing doesn't get me to s+99 by this evening, though, you're fucking dead
>>145078123
Octobrush is a filthy Octopus weapon, nulling anything it had going for it.
>>145078074
You sound upset.
>>145078046
Don't listen to this memelord.
>>145078669
Those are all true though
>>145078791
Are not.
If you want to play with western players there's these crazy new things called "Squads".
>>145079001
Sorry, I meant offline
>>145078239
It's hard to describe it unless you've used it, but the brush is just really good in close quarters.
The rapid, nonstop flicks are insane. It just flicks ink everywhere, you have a constant rain of damage that can take out multiple enemies, hits everything around you, and has no cooldown. It inks so much turf in just a few flicks that you get plenty of ink to swim around in, compared to the Carbon's awkwardness.
>>145078348
But anon, it was created by Sheldon. It's a brush made specifically for slaughtering Octos, not an Octo-brush.
It's like getting rid of vermin with rat poison. The poison is intended for cleansing a rat infestation, and named so. It's not a poison from the rats. Don't be silly.
>>145079001
You're not even guaranteed to play against western players in squads.
>>145079390
Unfortunately no, that is not true. Judging by the Octobrush's Japanese name being a reference to a painting of a woman being raped by Octopus, it is indeed an Octopus weapon to be used by Octopus. I am sorry, but you're a race traitor.
>>145079550
Then let me introduce you to these wild new things called "Lobbies".
>>145079583
She wasn't getting raped
>>145079823
>the only way to not play with japs is to purposely fill a lobby with 7 friends
Might as well just play tournaments at that point.
>>145078669
fuck off thatsso
>>145079836
Nothing in relation to tentacles is ever consensual. Whether its the tentacles doing the raping or the tentacles being cummed on. It's always rape.
>>145079912
What is wrong with playing with Japs anyway? The latency is no different.
>>145080087
Unless you're on the west coast, the latency is totally different.
>>145080087
>The latency is no different
LOL!
>>145080169
It isn't though.
I want to rape Callie's tentacles
ITT latency affects all regions when a game uses wifi connection
Ok next topic
>>145079823
You're guaranteed in that either
Guys I bought Splatoon last week and I think I'm done with it.
As someone who's played shooters, console and PC for years... I can't help but find the game ridiculously stale and overrated.
The ink mechanic is a fun gimmick but after a certain point becomes just that... a gimmick. The close range weapons are ridiculously powerful that the game ends of encouraging ridiculously fast paced gameplay. That wouldn't be an issue if the health pools weren't so low.
The game requires teamwork in competitive but doesn't supply a way to chat with your teammates unless you use a seperate chat client. It's just really silly when you consider it.
2 maps an hour is a shitty design choice.
The ability to mix and match items is pointless when there is gear and weapons that you want to use over others 100% of the time.
>>145080620
git
u
d
>>145080620
The longer-range weapons are much more reliable.
>>145080620
I too think this game would've been better if the max health was increased.
Oh well, it's not for everyone. See you later.
Personally I'd give this game a 5/10
>>145080620
>2 maps an hour is a shitty design choice.
>allow people to vote on maps
>one map gets voted on 90% of the time
>population dwindles because X weapon with X loadout on X map becomes the only playable mode
Reason behind map rotation is to not have one weapon king of the castle.
Blasters suck for turf war most of the time, but dominate in tower control
etcetc
Anyways, cya.
>>145080784
Faster move speed and higher health pools would be nice.
Maybe slower to regenerate or non-regenerating health, too.
>DEMOLISH BAMBOO SHOOT VILLAGE
i don't understand
>>145080620
If you did actually buy it you would know half of that is untrue, from long range weapons being shit to 2 maps an hour.
Stop shitposting for the hell of it, your opinion is your own but we don't need to know about it.
>>145081029
japfest
>>145080982
>Reason behind map rotation is to not have one weapon king of the castle.
And that failed, because everyone still just uses the same gun every time.
Especially when you have stupid rotations like Bluefin/Kelp.
>>145080620
>>145080784
>>145080991
High health pools would make 1v1s long as fuck, which is not the point of the game at all. They'd also make them incredibly boring.
Good thing /ink/ isn't in charge of design.
>>145081042
>Waaah anybody with a different opinion is shitposting
Fuck off famm
>>145081130
>still uses the same gun every time
Proof of this? You didnt even say the name of the weapon.
>>145081029
Turns out Callie is a cancer, who knew.
>>145081130
Yeah, and every map, one weapon type gets destroyed and retarded posters come here to whine about it.
>WAAAH MORAY TOWERS SUCKS, CHARGERS ARE OP EVEN THOUGH I CAN CHANGE MY WEAPON AT LITERALLY ANY TIME
It's not Nintendo's fault you won't embrace what they gave you and instead call it bad game design.
>>145081146
I disagree. If kills were about a second long instead of the sub-half second they are now, strafing and player movement would actually matter.
And getting stuck in enemy ink wouldn't mean that you're instantly dead.
>>145081235
Obviously everyone plays different weapons on a per-person basis, but many people just take one weapon in for every situation. i.e. E-Liters and Lunas
>>145081146
Not like double the health, like 1.5x or 1.25x the health. Just a pinch more survivability.
>>145081345
>Obviously everyone plays different weapons on a per-person basis
You still provide no proof of this. Unless you played with the same people over and over again in squads/premades in your whole week of playing, you cannot prove this.
>>145081235
Short range shooters like gals and splattershots tend to do good wherever regardless of rotation.
>>145081307
If we could switch out weapons mid match this wouldn't be an issue, getting stuck with rollers while their team is e-liters on towers wouldn't be a problem if you could switch to one yourself.
>I made some absolutely without demands free icons
>Please take a look
beautiful
>>145081737
>beautiful
>Kelp Dome Tower game in ranked
>use the overhangs to backdoor the other team's spawn point and take out their snipes at angles they cant even see me
>win game
Fuck snipers
>>145081635
>using gals in turf war
>using gals in tower control
Unless your idea of "same weapons" falls into two categories like "short range" and "others" this is no proof. And if you honestly believe in what you are saying then you might be a part of the problem. You need to get good with a few types of weapons as well as have the clothing for different types of weapons on a map rotation/game mode basis
I love me some octobrush ninja squidding, but you wont catch me doing it on Moray Towers in any mode
>>145081635
>>145082074
You're both retarded
>>145082074
>not using a kraken/wall weapon on tower control
>>145082256
Spoken like a true waifufag shitter
>>145082074
52 gal, wasabi and tentatek splattershots then. All are great on every rotation even turf war. If you played a good 100 games for each game mode and marked every weapon you saw you would see that these are extremely popular.
Yes some weapons are shit like octobrush on towers while some are powerful like e-liters but that's not related to this. Though you would be surprised how many people bring rollers to moray and brushes to tower control despite them being shit.
>>145082256
Well tell us why then, I may disagree with their opinion but it's not retarded.
>>145082074
Gals are amazing on tower especially .52 and .96 deco because of the splash wall
>>145080620
>he doesnt play long range
sir you need to git gud or else you will fail and get raped by the japanese scum
>>145082342
There's only one waifufag left
>>145082581
Why did you post that unrelated unimpressive video
>>145082695
i dont know but here let me post this instead
>>145082836
Is this what people fap to these days
Cute lesbian incest
>>145081345
>>145081615
Im a low-elo shitter but I literally play eveyr single game with the same Kelp Charger, n-zap, or Dual Squelcher.
I have like 114k on Squelcher and like 40K on N-Zap (the red one) and 10k or less on everything else half of which ive used exactly never
>>145083315
I'm S+, and I only use Kelp unless Moray is in rotation, in which case I use E-Liter.
>>145083468
Why not E-Liter all the time? Shitter.
>>145081737
Yes, she is.
>>145083558
Because the Kelp charges faster and doesn't have the swim speed penalty.
>>145083645
Excuses don't make you any less of a shitter.
Next you'll tell me you only use the scoped versions.
>>145083730
>he doesn't use the range bonus
You all got meme'd on.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/4nfb9y/whats_a_nintendo_ip_that_youre_supposed_to_be_a/d43m0ec
>>145083558
I've used both the regular e-liter and splatterscopes and can tell you it's honestly up to preference. The only time it matters is on towers and mall where scoped e-liters have an advantage with the extra range.
>>145083927
Well played
hey look
http://www.bpnavi.jp/kuji/item/1615
you can win sweet marie or callie socks and shirt
(also you can participate in 7-11s throughout japan to win a bunch of cool other stuff but there are most likely no japanese 7-11s near you)
if you want to enter:
1. follow https://twitter.com/ichibanKUJI on twitter
2. either retweet https://twitter.com/ichibanKUJI/status/741103269292822528 or make a tweet containing the hashtag #一番くじSplatoon
if you do that from today until the 12th (oops), you enter yourself a chance to win a marie outfit inspired t-shirt and socks, and doing it from the 13th to the 26th enters you for some callie socks and t-shirt
5 marie winners announced the 27th, 5 callie winners announced the 28th
not sure if you have to be in japan to get itbut no one here's even gonna enter so real point in reading fine print
>>145083862
>He needs the extra range
>>145084131
>inb4 the shirt only comes in female sized
>>145084131
A nice idea but... you're right, luck of the draw is not enough of a reason to make a Twitter account. Especially if you might not even meet the competitions requirements for not living in the right country.
>>145084809
personally i don't get why almost no one here has a twitter account
Goodnight /ink/
Goodnight Marie
Goodnight Callie
Let's all have sex tomorrow
>>145085062
It's a dumb form of social media. If you're into that kind of shit, Facebook is good enough. Not worth making one just to enter contests and find cute fanart.

Wait I read Arowana mall was changed in 2.8
I know it was changed in 2.6 too, but what did they do this time? I havent played much splatoon lately but its my favorite stage...
>>145086927
why
>>145086927
Isn't that image the equivalent of someone kissing a lady's hand
>>145086925
Referring to yourself in the third person and generally acting violent isn't a personality trait, it's a disorder. If there's an actual reason why they're like that - be it they were dropped on their head or squidbagged too hard or were raised by sharks - I'd take it. Otherwise it's just weird.
>>145086925

hands aren't soft and cuddly and cute
I am sexually attracted to anthropomorphized squid-girls.
>>145087013
>>145087026
Because it's not a hand, it's hair. Cold slimy meat hair. Showing affection or even attraction for that just seems off.
>>145087115
>Referring to yourself in the third person
um... moyashi doesn't do that
>>145087254
Neither are tentacles you whackjob.
>>145087260
I'm not, but that's only because they don't have any squid girls with red hair

what a shame
>>145087668
This is a splatfest I could get behind.
Sadly they cant do Fast Food v Fine Dining because fine dining would have like 30% popularity votes at best, half of which are people just voting it because they can influence the winrates more but still lose splatfest since kiddies will unanimously pick fast food
Okay, how many of you guys actually like bamboo shoots?
>>145087984
wait, the japfest isn't about candy in the shape of bamboo and mushrooms? it's about real bamboo and real mushrooms? interesting. is bamboo shoot anything like palm heart?
>>145087945
popularity hasn't won a splatfest since the crack ass dawn days of nigger ass
>>145086203
You only get banned if you go online (i.e. enter a match) while gecko/loadiine is still running. Slimy/whoever made it say that Nintendo's servers can detect it.
That's why you turn the console off after you're done editing. It gets rid of any traces of the program, and makes the editing almost impossible to detect.
It's completely safe, as long as you don't screw it up.
>>145088080
it is
no
not sure
>>145088080
lol no, it's chocolate
>>145088154
Almost isn't good enough for me
Something WILL go wrong or I WILL screw it up
Guess I'll stick to rolling
>>145087409
Says you
>>145088083
But has the popularity ever been more than like 10-12% apart? Like an extreme disparity
>>145088443
I don't know who made this fix, but good on them
>>145088540
see pirates vs ninjas
>>145088683
i don't like it
>>145088540
even if it was 70/30 the 30% side would only need a 54% winrate to take it
popularity means basically fucking nothing anymore
>>145088775
Oh.
>>145088762
How
It's improved tenfold
>>145088819
i think it looks too jagged especially when it's right next to the anon head
then again the original artist thought it was an improvement so whatever
>an octoling will never bully your genitals with her underboob
and still no american splatfest news

Who has that picture of Callie during a Splatfest with a Miiverse post making her say "END CAPITALISM"?
>>145091093
Not in all ways, but definitely in some ways.
>>145091706
All the ways that matterto me
>>145091961
Why do they always give Octolings human eyes instead of the weird pointed things they've got going on
>>145092036

Hmm... make that MANY ways.

>>145093280
he got rejected by a brown octoling and will exact his revenge a la campaign
>>145093280
Why would I be upset?
>>145093134
I have a feeling that, provided you were yourself an Inkopolis dwelling Inkling, you and Callie would be good friends, affectionate Callieposter.
You'd never date or anything, that's just not how you operate, but you'd definitely get along well.
Cheered up?
I like Callie
>>145093026
>>145093573
