    Cross-browser current and upcoming Turf War and Ranked maps (and game type) [English]

    This looks really cool, as other have said the only thing it really needs is localised time, otherwise it's pretty great.

    Random Players and their amazing inability to Squid Jump.

    I think as you play more and build up some more experience you'll start to get better at recognizing when is a safe time to jump, and when when is a bad time to do so. In Ranked, sometimes you just gotta risk it, especially if your team is pushing for a win in Tower Control or Rainmaker, or if...

    EU's Next Splatfest Announced!

    Team Dancing sadness. I was worried this was going to be a poor result when I noticed that my flag streak was far lower than the past splatfests, but I was still holding on to the hope that it was just anecdotal and my own experience wasn't representative of my team as a whole. Turns out it was...

    Do you think Splatoon will rotate two stages for both modes every four hours for now and forever?

    I think halving it would be pretty nice, I haven't had many chances to play lately and every single time its been like Blackbelly or Saltspray, I can't remember the last time I played on maps like Walleye, Arrowana or Bluefin...

    Sad about no octolings

    I still think Octolings won't be playable, but rather will be added in as bot characters in offline multiplayer, or used in some kind of co-op invasion game mode. The main reason I don't think they will be playable is because as has already been shown, their hair tentacles clip through almost...

    Why are Motion Controls Avoided?

    It's all down to personal preference. I mostly play PC shooters these days, so prefer the more wrist-based motion that the gyro controls allow for, that are much closer to using a mouse.

    The "I'll be Rank __ forever" thread

    Just reached B+! Had a few disconnects unfortunately, even one where I was right at B 91, which was a little disheartening, but I just kept plugging away until I was able to achieve B+. I can't emphasize enough how much letting the salt go and just taking responsibility for the outcomes, good...

    Splatfest EU- how is it going?

    It's been a bit of a mixed bag on Team Penguin, sometimes the wait has been reasonable and the games have mostly been fairly fun, but towards the end of my last session the queue times became pretty lengthy and I ended up getting paired against my own team a number of times. I guess that means...

    The 2.0 Update Messed Up My Connection

    Yeah, I've had this happening to me as well since the update, a post on r/splatoon a couple of days ago confirmed that others are having this issue as well and Nintendo is aware and are taking steps to rectify it. All that I've really been able to do is try and enjoy the game as much as I can...

    Should I be thinking this?

    I don't think anyone should need to worry about how they sound over voice chat, as long as you are clear and able to be understood it shouldn't matter. As others have said, if people are making fun of you because of how you sound, then it's probably an indicator that you need to find a better...

    A look at the Ika Musume/Squid Girl outfit coming to Splatoon

    I will be a salty quid if this isn't available outside of Japan. It's soooo cute!

    Freedom for Squids - A Freedom Planet social

    Eh, I'll just slog my way through the rest. I'm not going to pretend like I'm the most skilled gamer out there, but I'm pretty good at just bashing my head against a stage/enemy/challenge until I understand it and clear it. If it does get insurmountable though, I'll take your advice and dial it...

    Tentatek users,

    Tentatek user here, I definitely think it's a middle of the road sort of weapon - it's not as in-your-face aggressive as say the Splattershot Jr or Aerospray, nor is it as effective at range like the Splattershot Pro, Gals, or Squelchers. It's for precisely this reason you're seeing a lot of...

    I suck at Splatoon.

    Don't let it get you down, you don't need to be the absolute best at something to be able to enjoy it. For comparison, I've put over 2000 hours into Team Fortress 2, but when my friends and I tried to play competitively in PUGs we were absolutely destroyed - the skill gap between me and even the...
