Well, Octolings and Spectator mode would definitely warrant a 3.0.0. It's going to happen sometime in the near future, the Splatoon devs know exactly what they're doing. Without someone like Sakurai and his strong design principles at the helm of the team, there's nothing holding back updates...

Good headphones will have better quality and clearer directional audio. Speakers are, in most cases, entirely inferior. Of course, such headphones aren't cheap. I don't think sound matters enough to make a massive difference, but it's a good thing to have on.

That's, uh, his personal account. He's not going to do anything about it or respond at all. Tweeting at @trintran is the equivalent of catching him in person at a Mariners baseball game and asking him for details about Zelda U. It's unwelcome, he's taking time off his job. He's also a...

I'd assume a tournament of this scope would have translators standing by.

Okay, this thread has evolved into total pedantics. Can we just not post unless it's relevant to the topic of save-scumming?

If we do make tier lists, we'd have to make one for each map/mode, because of how ridiculously it all varies. In other words: I agree.

Maybe it doesn't trigger if you're in a squid-jump, so that it doesn't strike an invalid location. This is all speculation, I've not tested it myself.

At the beginning of this year, I spent like three months grinding Classic Mode on Smash for 3DS to get all of the custom special moves. Did I need to? No. I could have effortlessly installed homebrew, without any repercussions. Did I want to? Absolutely. It felt good to myself to have...

Nope. You have a limited time to use the Inkstrike before it disappears. It does not last forever. Because the squid jump animation is so long, the meter will run out during the animation.

Agreed. This isn't even a claim, it's fact. Remember when Nintendo played ads for Splatoon prefaced with "Splatoon is made for eSports" from Rapture?

This is fantastic. I'd recommend making a dedicated thread.

Make sure to learn to get off the tower if you need to. If you've got a weapon with a burst or suction bomb, then throw that at the tower to dispel any enemies who'd try to take it after you get off. Make sure you're constantly looking around as you're carrying the tower. Use "C'mon!"/"To me!"...

What exactly do you struggle with? It's more than just "I'm bad." Are you bad at keeping the tower, do you get splatted often, are you unable to take the tower back, as examples?

Certain maps tend to heavily favour a team based on who leads first. Of the maps currently in, I don't think any of them are bad enough to warrant a ban yet. In Tower Control, for example, Walleye Warehouse is pretty imbalanced because the team who leads first can easily get rid of anyone who...

Welcome to Squidboards! Can someone explain to me why Ink Mines are so bad all-around? Aren't they useful in Tower Control? They have a fairly decent radius, and will kill anyone on the tower when they detonate, and probably come close with any others nearby. Squids' airspeeds are not the best...
