You can but you need good ping to them. Basically means either west coast of the US or Australia or something. If you're European playing against Japan isn't really a thing.
Maybe it doesn't pseudo-lock in League Mode?
I can hop on Splatoon 1 right now and lobbies still fill up in a few seconds. All Japanese folk sans me, and that's totally fine. Splatoon 2, I've seen less than ten Japanese names. Even in Ranked modes. What I have seen is a lot of waiting. And lobby timeouts.
Still haven't played League Mode, so I'm just talking from Turf War/Solo Ranked experience.
Also I'm hard wired, so it's not my connection. Also haven't D/C'd once in over 110 hours of play.
Stealth edit: oh... Above answers it. RIP, I guess my ping still sucks too much for the distance.
Okay let me reword things: Nintendo please change your ping-based business, I want to play at 3AM and - understandably - very few others in a ping-search are also playing.

When I worked my way into a Japanese TW room the connection was way smoother than it is when I let Nintendo pick randoms for me. Nobody disconnected and I didn't come across any bullet (ink) sponges like I do when I play with random euros. That makes me think there's some pretty brutal geoblocking at play instead of ping-based matchmaking.

Yes. When it's on I actually find myself wondering if I prefer it to the other modes. Not that they're bad - the entire game is great - but SR has a persistent sense of progression and reward that helps fend off the poor rounds and the rounds that go great are on par with the enjoyment of winning in any other part of the game.Peléo;245815180 said:
Honestly, I'd happily pay for more Salmon Run content if I had the chance.
Pretty off-topic, but I just realized that I've already read about ping-based matchmaking before. On launch day, and even yesterday. Perhaps I shouldn't have been playing anyways if I couldn't remember stuff I read about just yesterday. Trouble sleeping (yet keeping the poor mindset and memory that comes with sleepiness) is fun, guys.
I'm still calling some sort of locking going on. Have no evidence like Ghirahim above, but it just seems like... I don't know. Things can't all be ping. If that is the sole matchmaker at work here, it needs revamped.

Arent those items already in the game though? I have the sandals and red shirt.

As someone new to Splatoon I am absolutely overjoyed by the frequency of the events and content drops so far. Even if it's just recoloured clothes this time it's still something more and that seems to occur on a weekly basis.

If it's on the Splat Net app, that means they'll have different main skills.
Yeah i feel like all the glasses items have meh main abilities.
Id like tenacity maybe.

It's essentially Splat Zones' equivalent to the Rainmaker/Tower resetting to the middle. Comebacks would be atrociously difficult without the penalty, and it'd be the only mode where progress made is effectively permanent. It's more balanced this way.
You may have a low enough ping to Japan to be matched with them, but I certainly don't.

Any footage of high level Japanese play with the splat dualies?

Avocado is one of the best things on the planet. Be careful what you say, I may have to splat you.
Ninja Squid's disgusting. It's so easy to get kills with it. Just wait in a corner for a second or two and gank someone when they come around.
I'm not a fan of Toni Kensa as a brand though, but I guess Cold Blooded combos well with Ninja Squid.
I side-loaded that Switch Online app and it works perfectly despite the region locking. Relief! Also the features for Splatoon are really surprisingly good and thorough - I'm impressed.
So I have a question about stats - at the end of a match or on the app, you see your kills and then kills by special. Are kills total kills including special or are they separate stats?
So if I see:
Kills: 6
Special: 2
Does that mean I killed 4 people with my main / subs and 6 overall or 6 people with my main subs and 8 overall.
Also, I've tried out 4 different types of weapon now. Going through my records, my 'P-score' was shockingly low with the roller despite feeling like I was painting a ton of stuff all the time. With the aerospray, however, I've gone from like 600-700 (roller) to 1,000-1,200. And I wouldn't have noticed the difference if not for the stats screen. I guess I should stick with the aerospray for now. I felt like I absolutely sucked with the Dualies but averaged between 900-1,000. Would have sworn the roller was my best weapon, funny how that works.

The "special" stat you see is not kills with special, but your number of special activations. Not every special is designed to get straight kills, after all.
Ah! Wow I was way off, glad I asked the question!
I am a millenial but i never ate those filthy avocados.
I rather save my money for a house
or something else more usefull.What you got against my babies?
Nothing, I just like the classic setup with Ink Resistance and the Rockenburg brand. Putting Drop Roller on them feels like it's ruining the boots.
Although I'm probably just being nostalgic. Man, everyone was wearing those boots back in the first splatoon for awhile.

I don't think so but if it consists of avocado then I'm sure I'd like it!

Want that pink SQUIDSQUAD tee! Already have the yellow Basic tee that King of Games put out and its awesome. Even comes with the badge!
They also now have a sky blue Tentatek that I really want. Comes with the wristband too. =O
I mean, the normal Blue Moto Boots are really good too. Ink Resistance is a great ability to have. I just want to try out Drop Roller some more and see how it fairs. Anything that'll allow me to super jump more often and die less sounds great to me.
And if I don't like, it's not like it'll be hard to get the classic Blue Moto Boots back. Tons of people wear them.

I think the black one is really nice, any idea on when or where they'll be available?

EditMode's King of Games right? Not really looked too much into it before but already heavily considering this one, having liked it in-game before knowing it existed:
Thanks for the info.

I have a hard time believing a 5 year old would do anything but struggle with this game. There's also no "playing with" unless you just mean watching.
MK8 actually has some great hand-holding features that would allow literally anyone to finish a race regardless of age.
So I'd say MK8.
Thanks!

Awesome. XaosWolf said they did but hadn't checked when posting, thanks for the second confirmation.
I think the Marie shirt might be sold out though.
Be sure to switch to the English site at the top right.
Yeah i see that one supports paypal luckily. Sadly the Marie one is sold out maybe it gets new stock later so i will keep an eye on it.
Will order a couple of things end of the month
Damn lol would not surprised if in 2018 i have a new full wardrobe full of Splatoon branded gear/clothes damn.
