    How is everyone maintaining their sanity???

    I have my copy reserved at Gamestop, but I hadn't thought about going to Wal-Mart at midnight and returning the GameStop copy there. I am probably going to do that now that you mention it. Do you think there will be a long line at Wal-Mart? I can't tell how popular the game will be.

    Looking for Players/Friends/Team/

    I'm down. I played a lot of Splatoon 1, but only casually and mostly just the Splatfests. This time around, I want to take the game more seriously and quickly get into competitive play. I have 5 free days starting Friday and I plan to be playing from wake to sleep those 5 days. After that, I...

    I can't use motion controls to save my life...

    I felt the same way about motion controls at first, but someone convinced me in a post back when Splatoon 1 first came out that eventually I would get used to them and like them..and it was true!

    Splatfest World Premiere Discussion

    I was also on the losing team this time on team Cake and also most of the Splatoon 1 Splatfests. I believe team cat would have beat team dog but during that first Splatfest popularity counted for more (they later altered popularity to not be as important) and that put team dog over the edge...

    How do you start off your day?

    I start anywhere between 8:30am and 10:30am, depending on when I wake up. Pour a quart of water and add a pinch of sea salt (starting your day with a little salt is good for your adrenal glands), do my coffee ritual which includes grinding fresh beans, brewing in a percolator, then blending with...

    Which weapon will you be maining in Splatoon 2?

    I have always used a roller, and I suspect I will try out the various rollers until I find my favorite....but....I really want to try out every weapon this game. I plan to try them all out and give them all a fair chance and not just stick to my old reliable roller.

    How is everyone maintaining their sanity???

    I've been listening to Ebb & Flow (Off the Hooks) [sample] - Splatoon 2 Music Extended on Youtube and imagining playing the game! ..if you could see me dancing around like a maniac, you maybe would guess I am not maintaining my sanity!

    How did everyone enjoy the splat fest???

    I had the same problem at first with thinking X should be the jump button, but after failing to find a way to change the controls, I just accepted B as the new jump and kept thinking "don't press X". There were still some scramble situations where I did press X and died because of it. I am sure...

    Splatfest World Premiere Discussion

    I was using roller so I made sure to ink the base and cover territory - it is the point of turf war. Very satisfying getting a narrow win when the other team had some ace killers on their side.

    How did everyone enjoy the splat fest???

    I had a lot of fun. I used a roller the whole time. I am digging the added power of the vertical chop, but I still need to get the hang of it. I never used my sub weapon - I was just so caught up in the excitement I forgot about it. The special weapon, the Splatdown, is decent, and when you get...

    Cake King. I was on a win streak but we lost the last game. Our team won about 60% of the matches. Won and lost by razor thin margins in the game. I can't believe we have to wait until the 21st to play again!!!

    How is everyone maintaining their sanity???

    I realllly want to play the game! I will be playing nonstop as soon as I get it. I don't have a headset for voice chat yet, but I do have the game reserved and already paid for at Game Stop. I am hoping they do a midnight release but either way I will be there 30 mins ahead of time. I can't wait!

    Burgers vs Pizza for next NA Splatfest

    I was on Team Plane and I had my best performance ever. We just kept winning over and over again and I made it to King so fast. I would have kept playing but we were so dominant I thought we had it in the bag for sure and actually felt sorry for Team Car. I was dumbfounded when we lost. I...

    Burgers vs Pizza for next NA Splatfest

    That's what I did. I knew Team Burger would be less popular, and I wanted to fight the opposing team without any mirror matches. Got my wish: made it to King, big winning streak, only disconnected once, no mirror matches.

    Next US Splatfest: Pirates VS Ninjas

    Wow, a bunch of dummies on Team Pirate can't do math and keep saying "Oh, it's because our team was full of awesome players, such as myself" I seriously fought my own team 90% of the matches and I made it to King. The other Team Ninja teams were amazing and completely going to waste. What a...
