I guess I agree. Personally I think the Aerospray MG is the best. Great at covering turf, and it has kill potential on its own and with its sub and special. The RG with the inkstrike might have overtaken it, but I don't find the mines to be very good. But you're correct. Team composition is...

Well... What are you doing? Which weapons are you using? Motion controls on or off? Practice in single player to get used to the moving and shooting. Don't worry about losing at first. Every loss is time spend learning. You'll know the maps soon enough.

Everything matters. There will be times to kill and times to not. As long as it feeds into completing the objective, whether directly or indirectly, it will matter.

If it's a mode in party matchmaking in August, I hope we do. But yeah, it might not be. haha

You're absolutely right, but I think, when considering competitive play with coordinated teams, due to the symmetrical nature of maps, specific loadouts with specific purposes, and quantifiable value of territory, teams will come up with opening strategies, and then will have to adapt strategies...

That has no bearing on anything when talking about competitive play. We're talking about using coordinated strategies with a real team, against another real team. Kicking butt in randoms during a beta means nothing in this discussion.

Who said the entire team rushes to the middle? I don't think people are really thinking about this correctly. There will be times when sacrificing coverage for speed will be important. Whether inkdashing is the fastest form of movement or not is irrelevant. Maybe it will be maybe it won't be...

Eh. As long as the developers have balanced them well enough then they'll each be their own class, giving them their own purpose. Will ultimately be better for the game's design as long as it's balanced. Adding customization just increases the odds of it being screwed up.

The local multi mode should be fine for that. Just set up two players and ignore the balloons.

This is getting a little ridiculous. It's like you keep forgetting that this is a team game. The whole point is for a part of your team to get to from point A to point B faster in order to start inking up point B before the other team gets there. While they are doing this the other part of the...

Point B has more space to cover, and it is not a part of either teams spawn/"base" and therefore point B is of a higher percentage value, and therefore it is valuable and should be taken and held. If your team can take it and hold it first, then you have the advantage and the other team has to...

The game is played with teams of 4... 2 people inkdash to the high value area and then ink and hold that position while the other 2 ink up the home base, etc. Bam, you've got 2/3 of the map under your control in the same amount of time it takes for the other team to get 1/3. The match is now in...

I don't really understand why people are saying that this doesn't look useful. Splatoon is about covering the most space within a given amount of time. Therefore, if you are able to reduce the time it takes you to get from one point in space to another, then your opportunity to cover that new...

Pretty cool use of terrain in the splattershot jr video. They did things I hadn't even though of. You really gotta think outside the box with this game.

Not to mention grenades are not your only possible subweapon. I could see the bombchu-like subweapon being very good at helping teams get out of spawn-camping scenarios.
