Hello,

If anybody interested can add me NNID: eraserph. I have been playing for a while.

I am rank B+ (highest so far but can still drop to c+ sometimes...), would be great to play with some fellow malaysians on the upcoming august update.

I am playing Japanese version but should be ok to match with other players from different region.

I'd go around 9pm or 10pm till midnight.
That time slot works fine last time when Mario Kart 8 launched.

That would be great, I will try to make it. I usually play after midnight though, too many outings recently. sad.gif

I think might be best if we can instant communicate with each other in some ways..
Maybe Whatsapp or something, IDK. Since it's already hard to get people posting here.
It's definitely gonna be harder to form things and play together lol
Sure we can play until late midnight. Why not lol
Add me up. my NNID is in the sig. We can try tonight around 10pm till midnight if you wanna join  icon_rolleyes.gif

Gai! Sorry, yesterday reach home 1AM already. Tonight should be able to play. If it makes things easier I can PM you my whatsapp/wechat. Will also add anyone I left out in this thread.

We have 5 people playing together last night. It was fun, but I wish there is more people.
Also there is a bit of unbalance when it becomes a 3v2. Luckly it was mostly 2v2, because the 5th joined late. Nevertheless, just join, just for fun anyway.
Thanks for joining. Tonight at 10pm again. Unless you all can agree on a different time, we can consider it and change it.
Sure bro. Just drop me a pm with your number. We have a those who joined yesterday in the whatsapp group already.
Easier to communicate to start a match, or if anything goes wrong.  laugh.gif

Best to add others as well, so you can see who is online and stuff. Might help host as well, if i'm not around.

Dropped you PM. Yep 10pm is good. Hopefully my internet connection won't fail me. I have been switching between 2MBPS streamyx and Maxis 4g connection to play.

I don't know how many points I have lost because of connection errors vmad.gif now I am back at B-

But, ya that was a laugh, Splatoon already broke 1M sales and personally it was such a breath of fresh air compared to all those games shown in this year's E3, which were mostly "cinematic" games where I felt like I was watching a movie rather than playing a game.

Brand new mode "Rainmaker" is coming tonight!  rclxms.gif can't wait to try it!

Huan, just curious, are you playing JP version?

Rainmaker should be interesting, its like CTF except you can actually fight back and defend a little.

I enjoyed it so far, had some intense matches.  rclxms.gif Last night I've gone on tilt for losing like 7 or 8 games in a row, because of that, my rank dropped from S 21 to A+ 18. but now I managed to gain back to 70 this morning.  sweat.gif Playing ranked really stressful.
*
Yeah, I just got to B+ again this morning, I tell myself rank doesn't matter but I still raged at connection errors.

Rainmaker was fun but even more risky than splat zones and tower control, you can lose a match almost within a minute if you get outplayed by a coordinated team. On the other hand it is also more exciting due to its fast paced nature.

I find that since the rainmaker moves around with the player, there is certainly more variation to the matches whereas for splat zones and tower control, your objective is mostly fixed so you will most likely deploy the same strategy every time and that could some times get boring.

Rainmaker very jialat one. People holding the gun of rainmaker hard to move forward when the others dont back you up/shoot down by others. I feel tower control more intense. Didnt know so many updates already since i last play. Learning to use heavy splatting

Gold aerospray unlocks at level 14 I think, just buy as normal.

Yeah after the august update there is certainly quite a number of good stuff coming in, we still have 2 new maps in queue drool.gif

but now I wish they would allow you to at least pick from 3 maps and 2 different game modes at any time so you don't have to keep waiting for your favorite game modes.

Huan, what abilities do you use? I am currently using 3 fast respawns on main and was thinking of trying out stealth jump. What do you think?

I'm using Ika Musume gear set w/3 Inksavers (main), 3 attack ups, 2 Ink recoveries and 2 random abilities (running out of $$ to reroll gear ATM). laugh.gif  With 3 attack ups, it will be a guaranteed 3 shot kill with tentatek splattershot even player with 3 or 4 defense ups. And I have another gear set w/3 swimming speeds, 3 attack ups and 2 movement speeds when firing. biggrin.gif

It's all depends on your playstyle really. For me I don't do super jump much as it will decrease the super jump duration, hence I don't use them (unless I have 2 or 3 stacks of fast super jump). But it's good for taking out unexpected player as the marker won't be shown when doing so thou.  laugh.gif

Another good tip with fast super jump ability will be.. If you find yourself being surrounded by players or any "ohsh!t" moments, just hide on walls and do a quick super jump back to spawn point.  rclxms.gif
*
Oh I see, the calculation with the tentatek is very good info. I will give it a try. I haven't got time to play recently, went out at night too much... haha

But that day Sunday I tried couple of matches in A- and I feel walau the opponents all so much faster and smarter, If I keep playing the way I play not sure can climb some more. Might need to train other weapons, I heard some pros they switch weapons based on different maps.

Nope, this is confirmed from the Splatoon USA tumblr.

Also when you are holding the rainmaker you are an easy target for bombs.

Haha, I use tentatek pretty much every map I play so doesn't matter for me.  laugh.gif

Really if we got chance, should really play tag sometimes, need to learn some tips from you. Now I dont really have any tactic besides just being aware of my surroundings and need to splat someone in less than 2 seconds.

Then sometimes there are matches where you will mad.gif because you got a triple kill and none of your team mates is pushing the objective.

haha. my  vmad.gif moment is when the timer is counting down to last 10sec in splatzone mode and your teammate is like "I'll just hang out here and wait till the coast is clear to go" doh.gif
*
Sometimes people will do that, out of security but because of the extend timer, you really can't take chances. If they go overtime and you relax then you will lose.

Surprisingly this game is really full on rage sometimes, even worse than teamplay games like l4d2 where I just treat it like pub game. This game climbing rank is very frustrating, even if I say play for fun, don't care rank also cannot, when you lose several times in a row. You will still pek chek.

Yeah, although it's cool but sounds a bit unfair, most people who choose decepticons might mostly be Marie fans.

Ya, I am not bored with this game yet, I actually created another nintendo account so I can play without worried losing rank.

This game is still good.

jasteryap, you should definitely buy xenoblades X when it comes out in english, it's really awesome.
