Can't watch the video right now, but are you sure they aren't just playing with other people not shown on video?

What made me wonder is that he's the only named person playing. The other guys are just Player 1 and so on unlike other recent footage I've watched that everyone had names.

And also how they jump from a tutorial, straight into a match.

well they have done some AI programming for the Octolings, so it's not completely unreasonable that there's a practice mode with bots. But it would really surprise me by now.
 
It was this over and over again with different people playing as far as I know.

Still wish we had a translation of the interview with the devs at least...
How long to the next stream?

Yup. Ranking after the match shows only one named player

The tutorial straight into match is how the demos since E3 have worked, I believe. It allows everyone to learn the controls and then go into the match.

As for the name, it could be that the console they were playing on was a special exception for naming.
 
So many missed updates

会場で判明したことを報告しよう。
「ニコニコ超会議2015」で使用するブキは以前にご紹介した「わかばシューター」だ。
サブウェポンは「スプラッシュボム」、スペシャルウェポンは「バリア」。
初めての人でも扱いやすいブキセットだ。

Let reports that it was found at the venue.
Weapon to be used in the "smiling super conference 2015" was previously introduced "Wakaba shooter".
Sub Weapon is "Splash Bomb", Special Weapon is "barrier".
It's easy to handle Bukisetto even for the first time people.
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/591539486615478272

既にご存知かもしれないが、少しおさらいをしておこう。
「スプラッシュボム」は着弾後、しばらくすると爆発するサブウェポン。
攻撃はもちろん、障害物に隠れた相手や、高台に陣取った相手を威嚇するのにも有効だそうだ 。
Already might know, but it'll keep the recap a little.
After "Splash Bomb" is landed, sub weapon to explode after a while.
Attack of course, and partner hidden obstacles, it's seems valid even to intimidate an opponent who camped on a hill.
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/591539744728715264

「バリア」は数秒間、相手の攻撃を弾き返すスペシャルウェポン。
敵と鉢合わせた場合など、ここぞという時に使うと良いだろう。
バリアの効果は仲間に「おすそわけ」ができるので、最前線の仲間が集まっている場所で使うと効果は絶大だそうだ。

"Barrier" a few seconds, special weapon that Hajikikaesu an opponent attack.
For example, if you combined enemy and bowl, here each it would be good to be used when called.
Since the effect of the barrier can "Osusowake" to fellow, effective when used in places where the forefront of fellow is gathered's seems enormous.

Just recaps


しつこいようだが、操作方法をおさらいしておこう。
カメラ操作は「Rスティックで大きく向きを変えて」「ジャイロセンサーで微調整」と覚えておこう。 Yボタンでカメラを正面にリセットできることもお忘れなく。

Persistent seems, but let me recap how to operate.
Camera operation, let us remember the "change the larger direction in the R stick", "fine-tuning in the gyro sensor". It is also do not forget that the camera in the Y button can be reset to the front.
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/591540932538830849


ジャイロセンサーを使った操作は独特だが、直感的で素早い操作ができるらしい。
「水平に近い楽な角度でWii U GamePadを構える」「手首を使って小さく動かす」がコツとのことだ。
立った姿勢なら、脇を締めると良さそうだ

Operations using the gyro sensor's unique, but apparently can be intuitive and quick operation.
"In a comfortable angle horizontally close readies Wii U GamePad," "using the wrist to move small" is thing of the tips.
You can easily find a standing position, it looks good when tightening the side

まず、スペシャルウェポンの使い方だ。
地面を塗ると、TV画面右上のゲージが溜まっていく。
満タンになったら、Rスティックを押し込んで発動だ。

「アロワナモール」は地形の起伏が大きいステージだ。
カベやスロープはインクを塗ってからイカになって勢いをつけて乗り越えよう。
ただし、死角の向こうに相手がいるかもしれないので、ボムで牽制しながら進むと良いだろう。

また、このステージは金網の床が多い。
金網の上でイカになるとすり抜けて下に落ちてしまう。
水に落ちるとおぼれてスタート地点に戻されてしまうので、注意が必要だ。

"Arowana mall" is a stage of undulating terrain is large.
Walls and slope it will overcome it with the momentum Become a squid from painted ink.
However, since it may have the other party to the other side of the blind spot, it would be good to proceed while checking in bomb.

In addition, this stage is often the floor of the wire mesh.
It will fall down to slipping through to become a squid on top of the wire mesh.
Because would be returned to the starting point and drowning as falling into water, you'll need to be careful.

Everyday I believe more and more that Splatoon is going to be something big for Nintendo. It has everything to be the next trendy thing this summer just like Mario Kart 8 was last year (and wich rocketed even more thanks to the Luigi Death Stare meme)I'm glad they are pushing it on every opportunity they can. I just hope NoA begins doing the same cuz we have not seen ads, or big events for Splatoon like the one on Japan and I reallyyyyyyyyy don't want Splatoon to bomb. It looks insanely fun with top notch Nintendo gameplay that it would be pretty unfortunate to see it sell low... 1 month and 3 days to go!

I think them supporting the game after it releases bodes very well for its popularity.

I also think it's going to be the "hip" game to get for Miiverse folks.

I cringe at that term often but if it helps it sell, then more power to it.

I imagine that they could do a really great commercial for this.

Splatoon Tumblr updates


Octosniper report! These suckers are apparently notorious for posting up and blasting powerful ink shots at enemies from long distance. If you find yourself under heavy Octosniper fire, find some cover and then try to advance your position by swimming in your own ink. I’m not sure if I’m a bad enough dude to take these guys down, but I bet some of you folks out there will master the art!

Squid ink report! Remember our little experiment? Well, after a month or so, the color has faded a bit, but there’s still not much of a change. It looks like this is gonna take a while… I’d better order another pizza.

Squid ink report redux! I started thinking, hey…squid ink is an oil-based liquid, so does that mean it’s also waterproof? Well, I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about it. So check it out: I tried spilling a little water on my squid-ink writing, and…nothing happened! These colors don’t run! It smelled pretty funky until it dried up, though…

Splatoon bundle report! Omg, you guys. Splatoon is getting a Wii U bundle! And it looks like this sweet baby will only be available at Best Buy and BestBuy.com. I guess I know where I’m stopping on the way home from the lab on May 29th! Booyah! I can pick up some new CDs for my car, too. And some new rechargeable batteries for the squidtrifuge! In addition to the Wii U system and Splatoon, looks like it also comes with Nintendo Land, all for just $299.99! Inkredible! Somebody pinch me! (Except you, giant crab locked up in our research cage. You stay put!)

Splatoon's tumblr is having an art contest, grand prize is a wii u and splatoon, 5 first place winners get a copy of splatoon.

Let me post it here completely.


Splatoon ART CONTEST report! So…turns out our senior squid artist quit like two months ago and didn’t tell anyone. And now we need a bunch of sketches ASAP for our quarterly report, but when I checked his old desk drawers, all I found was a snorkel and a bunch of those little red sticks that come with the cheese-and-cracker packs that you use to spread the cheese. Remember those things? Anyway, I was in a full-blown panic until I thought of you guys! I bet some of you can draw some cool Splatoon art. Squid Research Lab needs your help!

Here’s what I’m thinking: Post your awesomest, most squidtastic Splatoon-themed artwork on Tumblr and tag it with #Splatoon, #GetInked and #NintendoContestEntry so we can find it. We’ll even give out some cool prizes for the ones we like best! The report is due on May 29, so you’ve got until then to show us what you’ve got. Y’all are the best! Oh, and the contest starts…RIGHT NOW!

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Void where prohibited. Must be a legal resident of US (incl. DC) or Canada (excl. Quebec) 18+. Deadline: 5/29/15. 1 Grand Prize winner will receive one (1) Wii U system and one (1) Splatoon video game (ARV $359.98). 5 First Prize winners each receive one (1) Splatoon video game (ARV $59.99 each). Additional terms and conditions apply. Click here for official rules: http://Ninten.do/6133fA3T Sponsor: Nintendo of America Inc.
