Besides basic things like adding in some new weapons, maps, and abilities, there are two main ones. First is having more content at launch. How they did it with Splatoon made sense; a new IP had everyone on an even playing field, plus they really had to be sure that servers were going to work...

I decided to gear up my Forest Vest, which has Ink Recovery Up as its primary and Defense Up as its high chance of rolling. I managed to get all three defense ups without even needing to use a Sea Snail.

I agree on the casual feel; I really can't just play a match and feel goofy, now. It's just how it goes, though. At least with Splatoon, I've fallen more in love with the game by getting into its depth, though. I haven't played Smash online for a long time because For Glory players started...

I recently got a triple-splat off of Killer Wailing the Rainmaker shield (not sure how many of the splats were from the Wail and how many were from the shield exploding). Immediately took the Rainmaker and managed to get the lead, which then gave us the win. Just one of the moments that deserves...

While I don't usually go for them (teabagging in particular is gross and also wastes time that you could be doing something actually worthwhile), I sometimes can't help but place a Beak-on right where my defeated foe just was. Extra points for then Super Jumping to the Beak-on. Also, I often...

It is the moment where I truly identify with my Inkling; winning a match with the Hydra Splatling and hugging it. Speaking of which, it's Tower Control on Moray and Flounder right now....

Pretty much impossible to pick just one, but a few that come to mind... Anything on Bluefin Depot, Turf War on Kelp-Dome, Splat Zones on Walleye Warehouse, Tower Control on Hammerhead Bridge, Rainmaker on Mahi-Mahi Resort.

You triggered me...into giving a Booyah! Because I love Splat Zones on Moray. Running the Sploosh-a-matic, using good Beak-on placement to control the field...it's a good time. In general, I like all of Moray Towers. Turf War is arguably the weakest, since it's often a stalemate that comes down...

Here's the biggest counter-argument to your problems with gear: since abilities take up slots, you can use them to make "bad gear" into "good gear", but that means that you give up slots that could be used for other benefits. Taking damage up so that you have better kill ability is nice, but...

Cool. I was mainly curious since I had ordered shoes at one point that were SWIM SPEED: Quick Super Jump, Quick Super Jump, Quick Super Jump, and then Spyke delivered me a SWIM SPEED: Quick Super Jump, Quick Super Jump, ???, and then the ??? ended up unlocking into Quick Super Jump. Guess I got...

I know that sometimes Spyke brings you gear where the slots need to be unlocked...do they have a higher chance of being the same sub-ability as the original, though? Or are they just as random as if you'd bought them in the store?

While it's not as important as the top area, the fact that the top is always the highly contested area can make that bottom area be a swing area. If it's a 3v3 up top and both teams are breaking about even, all of a sudden the duel going on down bot can be very decisive.

I didn't think Splat Zones was a great mode when I first played it. I felt like isolating the important turfing area to just one or two sections of the map made the core concept of the game less fun, and that on most maps it just was people spraying into the Zone and praying for it to go their...

Curious as to what people think of the two temporary powers, Opening Gambit/Last-Ditch Effort. They're very interesting since they give some of the best stats of the game, but are also completely useless for most of the match. For Ranked, there's even a chance that Last-Ditch Effort won't even...

I got so hyped when I discovered it, and I was also happy that they did it for the whole final day. I worked that day, so I only got to play more Splatfest matches that morning before work, so I would have missed it if it had only been in the last hours...unless I'd chosen to play matches when I...
