Inkling for Smash! Let's Make Like Squid and Migrate!

[fogbadge]

well the demo proves this game is awesome and the roller is the best so far

 

[Reila]

Splattershot Jr. > Roller imo. But I like roller the best.

Anyways, the game is awesome indeed, can't wait for May 29.

Well, once again because I'm a hipster and everyone is using the Charger and the Roller, Splatshot is my favorite weapon.

...I'm mostly kidding...I actually am surprisingly good with that thing, I racked up so many kills with that thing, that I had the most points out of everyone pretty much 100% of the time.
Plus, if it does turn out to be the hipster weapon nobody will know how to deal with it because they're too busy watching out for snipers and surprise steamrollers.

Waking up at 4 am for Round 2 was so worth it.
Anyone else feel like their the "you missed a spot" player? I mean, I would turn around at the start of a match to ink the area around the base while everyone ran ahead.

I would do the exact same thing. I'm sure it's fine to be that kind of player. The whole team will probably benefit for having at least one party member like that.

Lol, I do that in every single game. I usually make sure to play with the same people too, so I'd hope they pick up on it.
Anyone using those two emotes, by the way? I've been throwing them out left and right but I don't really know what they're for.

I did that a lot. It was funny when me and another player did the same thing at the start of the match.

 

[Kenith]

It's fun to initiate the action in the middle of the stage and get everyone there, then when you get killed go and cover the back roads while everyone is distracted.

Figured I'd post my thoughts for the Testfire. First off, weapons from favorite to least favorite:

1. Splatter Shot Jr.- So far this seems to be my favorite because of the bombs, and great for kills and walls.
2. Splattershot- Splattershot is good too, but it feels like the bombs are weaker. Of course, still great.
3. Roller- While others like it, I seem to always suck with it. I either get shot or run into another roller. It's still a great tool for marking turf however.
4. Charger- Probably my least favorite. Not a big fan of the charging feature, as I'm more of a rapid shoot person. The only real thing I liked about it were the bombs, which the Splattershot Jr. has.

Overall the game was fun, will defiantly get it.

So I'm assuming the charger isn't the best weapon for the demo? Maybe y'all should test a bit more in the next testfire. ( I say y'all cuz I don't have a Wii u ... Yet)

I think it might be better for a different game mode. In turf wars the objective isn't to kill opponents and for map control, the other three weapons are much better.

 

[Kenith]

Just in case anyone wasn't aware...you can rapid-fire the Charger. It's not amazing but it does kill quickly.

Ok thank I was wondering about the low use of snipers during gamexplain stream( I had it on mute I was watching a movie on my computercomputer with my cousin during the testfire)

I've tried to rapid shoot with the Charger, I wasn't successful.

 

[MintChipper]

About that...
Sorry, @WaifuRaccoonBL. That avatar wasn't doing it for me and my inner hipster was killing me for not using something more obscure and less topical than Splatoon.

HUEHUEHUE

 

[skylanders fan]

I had a great time the second round the game is nice and polished can't wait to play it again!!!

 

[MintChipper]

I don't think I'll get home in time to experience the last hour.

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

Played the demo. I'm in love with the Ink Roller and the Sniper, mostly the Sniper!
I'm getting the game Day 1! Something I haven't done in a while.

 

[Jave]

Splat Roller is the new Little Mac.

Seems OP at first, but incredibly easy to gimp.

 

[bksbestbwoy]

Was trying to get into this thread last night while doing the Global Testfire and forgot/fell asleep. Overall, I love every last thing about this game, but I am complete trash at it. It also doesn't help that the early meta isn't very favorable to the Chargers (seriously, you get locked down or rushed even a little and it's free kills).

I also felt pretty awesome for this. Yes, that's the Hideki Naganuma retweeting my comment. lol

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Has this happened to you?

This happened like three times with me and this guy "Lucas"

 

[skylanders fan]

only 26 minutes left HYPE till last one

 

[Curious Villager]

This will be my first time trying it out because I missed out on the first two tries. What weapon would you guys suggest me to try out first?

Hey we're both Splatoon virgins lol.

I would only recommend avoiding the Splat Charger at first. Any of the other three weapons are fine for a first time.

 

[Curious Villager]

Can't help it that I woke up too late for the first session and and the second session ending as soon as I was finished with work..... :T

I see, thanks for letting me know. ^^

Will be looking forward to try the game out in about 15 minutes. c:

 

[Mishudo]

I literally am a 3 year old if I use the Splat Charger..
If you like being up and personal (AKA shotgun) use the roller, but the splatter shots are definitely the best averaged out IMO.

My Wii U isn't in my room so I couldn't play plus the session was in the middle of the night for me.

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

Seriously I can't wait to get the real game. I don't know why people won't be interested in this game.
The Inklings need to be in Smash now. Move set is there cmon Sakuari. Don't let us just have Mii costumes for characters that would make really great additions to the roster.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Just played Splatoon Testfire, it was great! I didn't like the Splat Charger I find it hard to use. My favorite was Splattershot Jr. I
m going to preorder it today.

 

[Sonsa]

Surely Im not the only one that there's something very wrong with the splat...thing jr. Some times you may shoot a lot of ink with nothing happening. Then only later will it load that yeah, where you shot is covered in your ink. But even when I tested to see if the ink is just invisible, walking on what was supposed to be my ink... I'm struggling! It still counts as opponent's ink! THEN it loads, but yikes!
Anyway...splat roller still my fav. I was kinda worried I might get tired of Splatoon on my 3rd hour but...I mean it is just my 3rd hour. In any case, still fun. I dunno if it's the game tricking me but it says I do pretty darn good! I kill a lot of folks and generally get 850 to 950 pts or sometimes once 1130! I wonder if I ran into any of you?
But yeah, Inkling is a great fit for smash. I imagine the warehouse would be a good stage?

 

[Solbliminal]

Got my final hours in on the Splatoon demo. Didn't make it back to the tutorial in time for extended play, but oh well. I enjoyed the matches all the same. I felt like I got the hang of things on that last match. The roller isn't as good as people make it out to be. It lacks proper aiming and range. Someone who knows their way around can easily out gun it. Waiting to see how the Ink Brush fairs though.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Now that's it done, some ranking I want to say.
Best weapons:
1. Splat Roller
2. Splattershot Jr.
3. Splattershot
4. Splat Charger

Stages:
1. Walleye Warehouse
2. Saltspray Rig

Also, Inklings are now my 3rd most wanted for Smash.

One more thing: I NEED THIS GAME!

 

[Curious Villager]

Well that was fun. Will be interested to buy the full game now because it made me happy. Now if you guys don't mind me. I'm going to paint the whole Tutorial stage blue like a Happy Happyist. Blue Blue....

 

[Reila]

I got many disconnects this time. It wasn't as fun But it was probably my internet and not the game's fault.

Oh and most people learned how to deal with the roller already.

 

[Wintropy]

Yeah, this game is amazing.

Splattershot is my favourite weapon, but they all have something interesting to offer - it's a really fun, polished romp overall. :3

 

[Burruni]

My stance: I love the splat roller.
Not because it's "OP" or anything.
But because I'm terrible at Shooters because WHY AIM when you can charge in and just cover up as much ground as possible?

[Scamper52596]

I managed to play all three sessions. I stuck with the Splattershot for most of it, but also tried the other ones. The Splat Roller is probably my least favorite; although, I'm sure I'll have more fun with it once I get to test it out further when the full game releases. I did enjoy the Splat Charger though despite not being any good with it. I think after some more practice it'll be one of my favorite weapons to weild.

@ Reila
Is your Wii U Username Rei? If so I may have gotten in a few matches with you.

 

[Kenith]

Damn, the Splattershot isn't hipster anymore.
Back to the Charger.
