I like this sneakier style of roller play. There was a lot of W+M1 roller going on in the testfire while people were getting used to the game, and not everyone could aim well, making the roller seem OP. All of the dev videos showing off the weapons are great, but they're making the wait for the game so painful too. 9 more days...

The other thing I've noticed with these dev videos is they utilize jumping to get a little extra range on grenade/bomb tosses.

I feel like the player's team put in most of the work, though the player did stop a lot of people from getting past into their side of the map. The standard Splat Roller has two things going for it, it covers ground really fast and can splatter foes really easily. Seems the player was using the latter part of it for this Turf War match.

I think this is the way to play the roller in Splat Zones though.
there was a lot of shotgun blasting
I got no clue what that means lol.
I am sure we are going to see a lot of playstyles plus there is always the ecolocator to stop campers.
Yea, I know there will be a lot of playstyles and shooters in general have that.

I wasn't saying that the campy playstyle is bad.

And the echolocator won't stop campers. Just cause you know where someone is doesn't mean you can stop them.

I got no clue what that means lol.

testfire rollers often fail to utilise the roller splatter (the shotgun blasts) which can really up your kill game. If anything I thought this player wasn't using the OG roller enough lol, too focused on shotting and mining with the occasional WAIL

rollers are pyros lol.

Splatoon [OT] Sent from God, a skatepark, let us spray.

If we're already doing OT title suggestions, here's a couple:

Splatoon [OT] Splatoon's a game, Splatoon is here

or:

Splatoon [OT] You're a kid, you're a squid, you're a kid, ...

or simply:

Splatoon [OT] SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT!


(So yes, in case it wasn't obvious, I'm suggesting we should pick something from the US commercials since they've provided us with plenty of material already.)

It fits.

Nintendo uploaded a video about the upcoming Testfire and kinda covers the Splattershot Jr.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVPXH8kfYDs

Ahh, that's what I thought you meant, but wasn't sure. I just call it a ranged attack. Yea, you're right, the Testfire rollers didn't really take advantage of that.
I like how he uses the splash, intentionally or not, to cut off their escape route and move in for the kill.
Yea, that was really nice. I think it was intentionally done with the idea of splattering them.

one should not discount the psych impact of suddenly being in enemy ink where seconds ago you had a viable escape route

I already have an OT subtitle to go and it's going to be hard to convince me to change it. It doesn't have anything to do with voice chat.

Still, it's fun to read people's ideas. OT subtitles are always fun.

Yeah, that was definitely what I was thinking! You can play it 'straight-forward' and that will likely get the weakest players but stealth is where its at for the roller. This combination of blocking paths, shotting and rolling is pretty great. And that movement!

Ofcourse it will stop campers. With a splattershot, all you have to do is shoot them at a distance even if they are hiding and they have no choice but to try to escape then you finish them off. Even throw a bomb first.
 
zomg

ROCKET INK TENNIS

Haha, that'd be amazing!
Also - not sure if I should post it here. Apparently some of the 'new maps' found were actually just really old builds, even if used in recent coverage videos - that means we only apparenlty know 4 besides the initial 9.

I still like Prepare to Dye

Me too, actually!

Splatoon |OT| Voice Chat at Level 21

Yep, nice one as well, though we might want to go with something like "Where these Inklings are going, they don't need voice chat" or something similar perhaps.

The "Unleash the Kraken" one someone mentioned earlier is also quite cool by the way.

Other areas I think we could go into, are some like these:

Splatoon [OT] I love the small of wet paint in the morning!

Splatoon [OT] Paint Wars Dulux

Splatoon [OT] Gaming's first BRS: Bob Ross Shooter (or BR: Bob Rosser; or Brmup: Bob Ross'em up)

Splatoon [OT] Support program for paint sniffers

Splatoon [OT] Putting the ink in Inkling!

...

Yeah...I'm not saying any of mine are good enough to use, but maybe there is some value in doing something with one of the following: Bob Ross, inking (i.e. tattoo's), paint sniffing, war in general (no pun intended), Dulux paint, paint ball, colors (vs colours?) or rainbows, the Pink Panther's Pink Phinx short (which I agree should be included in GIF form in the OT), graffiti / tagging, or simply squids (vs. octopuses). Wow, this game is so full of things we could use for reference now that I think about it!

Edit:
Splatoon [OT]-OT-OT-OT-OT-OT-OT-OT-OT-OT-oon

Yep, good one as well - and possibly our once in a lifetime chance to use such a title while it actually makes sense.
 
Splatoon [OT] NSFW Inklings with Schoolgirl Outfits

Yeah my tentative is shity but I wanted to post one... still Prepare to Dye is the best !

I was actually looking for the Dark Souls "Prepare to Die" trailer which I remember, in my brain, as being a series of really fast shots of souls deaths intercut with PREPARE and TO and DIE but apparently that only existed in my head. I wanted to see if it was possible to make some kind of Splatoon parody of it...

Gives all the fucks
The logo on the back is decipherable as 'Squid'. Is that KingOfGames's own addition, or is that on the original?
Think it's part of the original. You can see on the game's version of the yellow shirt that it has a logo on the bottom back.

この建物の中にあるのが「バトルドージョー」だ。 Wii U GamePadとWii U PROコントローラーなどを使って二人で対戦するゲームモードだ。 オンライン対戦とは異なるルールだが、イカの性能を理解するには持ってこいだそうだ。

It's the "Battle Dorchester Joe" there in this building. It is a game mode to play by two people using such Wii U GamePad and the Wii U PRO controller. It's different rules and online play, but it's so I Bring To understand the squid of performance.

「バトルドージョー」は制限時間内に風船を割った数を競い合うルールらしい。 風船は対戦ステージの各所に時間を置いて出現する。 次の出現場所が表示されるので、それまでの駆け引きも重要となるそうだ。

"Battle Dawe Joe" seems to rule that compete the number obtained by dividing the balloon within the time limit. Balloons appear to put the time in various places of the competition stage. Since the next occurrence location is displayed, also it hears is important bargaining up to it.

風船は1つ割ると1ポイント。 相手に倒されるとポイントが大きく減ってしまうらしいので注意が必要だ。 逆に言えば、相手を倒せば逆転のチャンスとなる。 最後の1分間は風船1つ2ポイントになるので、最後まで諦めずに闘うことが重要だ。

Balloons dividing one and 1 point. Since seems Once defeated the opponent point resulting in decreased greatly we need to be careful. In other words, it is a chance of reversal if defeat your opponent. Since the last minute will balloon one 2 point, it is important to fight to not give up until the end.

ブキ担当の研究員による、ブキ立ち回り指南映像「スプラローラー」を公開している。 ”塗り”が目立つローラーだが、熟練者は”振り”を使いこなすようだ。 キューバンボムの使い方にもご注目いただきたい。 これも試射会で使えるブキだそうだ。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ANF9TGvprE

By researcher of Bukit in charge, we have published a weapon fighting teaching video "spline roller." It is a roller that "painted" is noticeable, but a skilled person seems to master the "swing". Also I would like your attention to the use of Kyubanbomu. This is also I hear weapon that can be used in the test-fire meetings.

Splatoon [OT] Blooper banned for racism
Splatoon [OT] They see me rollin'

I feel like a crack addict just thinking about that next testfire moment, what did you do to me ninty. Loved that roller footage btw, it's how I tried to play the roller during the last testfire moment, though with less success.
