Splatoon Competitive Play?

[Nimyu]

Who wants that to be a thing? XD

 

[gmBottles]

I think it could be possible. Not saying it's very likely though. It seems more like a fun party game than anything. Well, I guess people said that about Smash Bros too. At the very least I look forward to playing it.

Yeah but isn't there stat modification and gun modifications for a class? Lol. Well and launching yourself to your territory or teammates or whatever it was again.

It depends on the mechanics of the game. Sadly, I am not expecting this game to give people the tools for a more competitive environment (good network, private matches) to ever make this possible. And if the mechanics make the game just unbalanced, yeah, it isn't going to be a thing.

Well I read on the wiki page that the creators did like other gun games, so there is still the chance for private games and even game mechanics. Still, it is a Nintendo product... Although they did make Smash 64 which was balanced... Maybe that means that Splatoon as a first product will also be balanced? Half life 3 confirmed!

Yeah, I also forgot to mention a spectator mode is also highly recommended. But my fear is that they are going to make the game fun, and not properly balance things. At the end of the day, the game should be fun, because it is a game, but ignoring the balance ends up hurting the competitive scene.

True.

Smells like a champion

 

[Nimyu]

XD Yes it does.

 

[Ultresmasher5]

yes

I hope we will see a competitive facet for this game. The game reminds me a lot of TF2 and other team-based shooters - just without classes. And games like Team Fortress 2 has a large competitive scene, so I'm sure we could see one for Splatoon.

My only concern is that there will be some sort of features that kills a possibility for competitiveness, like Kid Icarus Uprising's scene being ruined by the random stats applied to weapons. Right now, there isn't much evidence of such similarly occurring, but we're still a long way before the game is out to really know.

I'd play Splatoon competitively 24/7. Sounds like hecka fun.

 

[<π]

I'm really excited about this game! I hope that I can take it very seriously.

Actually if you have time check out my little speed paint I did. Please share it; pass it around!

 

[RespawningJesus]

Splatoon needs to come out so that I can pub stomp in a squad. =P

 

[Gatlin]

Yes. A few friends and I are so hyped for this game and are hoping it lives up to the expectations everyone has been giving it. It looks like it has a lot of potential to be competitively-viable and I am very excited for its release.

Watching Gamexplain's videos on it today makes me really want to play this competively. So much customization with the clothing, the weapons are creative but are easy to relate to other gun games, and its from Nintendo trying to be competitive. I can't wait for 4v4 matches, I feel like those would be very fun to play but also be very entertaining to view in tournaments. Imagine the matches of one group vs another on Twitch. Very nice.

Sorry for bumping a thread that's a month and a half old, but you guys should see this preview that Nintendo gave ProJared:

 

[RespawningJesus]

Hopefully Nintendo Direct sheds some more light on this game. But I do enjoy the fact that the game comes out in May. Hopefully it is early May.

i think a comp scene depends on the skill ceiling of the game. like you dont see a lot of for example Mario Kart comp because even though its a popular game the difference in skill isnt as wide as lets say quake or startcraft brood war which have VERY high skill ceilings.
