Splatoon

1. I jumped on that fad earlier, but I didn't really get a reply, huh?
2. Awkward... (she changed weapon...!)
3. Aw what do I do? We're going to bump into each other; I'm in trouble (her embarrassed face is so cute)
4. Eh?!
5. Ah.. uh... is... that a 'yes'?
6. Hehe, sorry I made you wait
7. Do you need a judge? - This is the best! - I'm so happy, I'm so happy - There's no doubt! This is the appeal of yuri!

Much appreciated. And these?

So thanks to japan's early Splatfest, we have the battle and one minute left music performed by the squid sisters.
I really like the battle music, but the one minute left music isn't my thing. Which is funny, because it's the other way around, regularly.

Have they said how long the delay was and when it will start?
 
Not that I've heard of
All the Squidkids in Inkopolis are just standing around confused myself included
 
Well maybe if they actually did stuff and not just post memes all over the place
Is it really the Inklings' fault that their entire lives are fashion and memes?
 
Guys I found it
The one thing I don't like about this game

The freaking
Penalty Counter in Splat Zones

It's like getting penalized for winning
At the most, I feel 30 sec is fair as opposed to having 15 sec left and then some shmuck with a stray Inkstrike moves control over to them for a sec and my team gets 70 "stop trying so hard" seconds

Sigh
I need some memes to comfort me
 
Yeah. That time when you get down to 1 second remaining just to have the opposing team shoot a lucky inkstrike that not only breaks your control but by some random chance make the zone their's...

Gotta do aaaaall that effort over again it feels like. What a waste of time.

Kelp Dome and Salty Tears are by far the worst offenders for this. The zone just isn't big enough to not be one shotted by an inkstrike.

You guys gotta shoot at the inkstrikes more.

If you shoot where they're at they don't spread ink there and become way less effective.

That is true, but when it lands on top of you or you're across the map, it could be an issue doing that.
 
Wow uh

Splatfest Amendments

– If it takes too long to find another team, you can fight the same team again.
* Even if playing against the same team, Splatfest Points can still be earned.
* Only the opposing team’s results will be counted at the conclusion of a Splatfest battle.

– If you begin the software before the Splatfest start time, an adjustment will be made where you may be able to begin 5 minutes before the start time (from the start time, you can participate in all areas).
* The purpose of this is to reduce congestion that would occur immediately following the start.

– The number of Super Sea Snail increases when you acquire the “Charisma” and “Eternity” titles when the team that voted loses.

Special Weapon Adjustments

– Inkstrike: When used, the mark that shows the impact zone has been greatly changed.
– Kraken: If attacked in the middle of using this, they will be repelled stronger than before.

Gear Power Adjustments

– Ninja Squid: The speed of the squid dash has been made slower than before.
– Stealth Jump: The time taken to charge has been made longer.
– Ink Resistance: The negative effects of movement and damage that enemy ink has on you when walked on has been reduced.

Other:

– Various game content has been fixed to better customer experience.

The wording on this is strange, can someone explain it?

Found it on Hideki Naganuma's Twitter (music guy for JSR, Sonic Rush, ect.) and he's been twitting a fair bit of Splatoon stuff as well. Really fun to check out (especially the mashup soundcloud he twitted)

And then I bust out my Dreamcast and copy of JSR after seeing that.
 
Finally getting my own copy of splatoon in the mail soon! now i dont have to play solely with a good friend of mine at his place but can casually stay in bed and be a squidkid.

I've played Tower Control for a very small time
And it does what Splat Zones tried to do soooo much better

Forced conflict
Learn how to control a space properly
Discourages Super Jumping (SPEAKING OF WHICH WOULD MY TEAM STOP DOING THIS IT LEAVES YOU WIDE OPEN IF THEY SEE YOUR MARKER ESPECIALLY ON BLACKBELLY SKATEPARK JESUS ITS A SMALL ASS STAGE JUST SWIM THROUGH THE INK YOU LAZY SQUID ****S)

*breath*

Also gives me an excuse to be a Charger
Taking the shot and knocking someone off the tower so my team can get it is just so <3
No. 13 skills for sure

I love how insanely aggressive Tower Control gets. Regardless of your role in a match, odds are you are going to have a kill/death with each over ten.

I once saw my brother take down three members of the enemy team at once, after which he proceeded to attempt to take down the last guy left. The enemy escaped via ink swim at the last second, splatted my brother, and single-handedly took back the tower while his allies respawned.

It was awesome.
