How will we communicate

[GalaxyBearZz]

How will teams and squads of squids be communicating since there is no voice chat? Teamspeak server? skype? What will you be using?

 

[Graff]

Spamming "Booyah" and "C'mon".

 

[Trieste Sp]

Yeah, either Teamspeak or Skype.

 

[Snivy]

Well since I'm gathering up a few friends to play this with, I'm planning on using either skype or voicegg

Splatoon doesn't need voice chat.

/s

 

[RotomGuy]

I think the only thing I'll ever need to say in a match is "Come here" which is done quite easily by pressing Up on the D-Pad.

It sure doesn't.

 

[GalaxyBearZz]

I was more thinking of it needing a teamspeak server or skype for means of a competitive stand point

 

[Bottlecapn]

D-Pad for days.

I really don't think thats going to work as well as you may think it will during a competitive match

Basically any external voice chat application.

i think the better question is how on earth are you gonna get everyone to jump on skype at the exact same time?

Planning. The OP referred to squads and teams, so these are all prearranged things. These aren't the random 3 folks that joined on your team, these are 3 other people whom you are coordinating and going to be playing with on a regular/semi-regular basis. So it wouldn't be hard. No more difficult at any rate than getting your MMO Raid on whatever voice chat software you favor.

Personally I will be using Skype. I use my Skype for personal and gaming reasons, so it will work out the best. Of course if it comes to it, I guess i'll have to download another program

 

[suavevillain]

I'm using raidcall it is better than skype imo and less of resource hog and nobody has to host. But you know commutation isn't needed in this game according to the majority of nintendo fans wanting to speak and have fun means u want to play cod or something.

competitive teams will definitely be using third party voip setups like mumble, teamspeak, etc

people playing on ranked battles will probably be able to find a loadout that works for them and find a role they can fit into. you see this happening in higher level TF2 pubs, there's just a clear state of symbiosis between classes (in splatoon's case, loadouts) that doesn't require that much communication. ranked battles aren't really a true competitive mode in the sense that we'll be coordinating heavily and have control over the rules, it's just an assortment of higher skilled gamemodes that assigns you to a rank that will either increase or decrease depending on your performance, so i feel it's an apt comparison.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to paint messages and callouts on the ground/walls

 

[Aweshucks]

Hey, I figured you guys would want to know that we have a community teamspeak server set up! We have separate rooms set up for you to use while playing, and we'll make a room for your squad if you'd like. It also serves as a general hangout place.
