Splatoon Online Squads

12 seems unnecessarily large to me. the point of having 8 players is to have spares should someone be unavailable, and be able to train within the team. im not sure that the extra 4 players added would get almost any time on the field.

Yeah, twice as much as a normal team is usually pretty solid. Also, I don't know how much roles will be a factor in this game, but that's a big thing to consider. I know in TF2 Highlander (which, if you don't know, is one person on each class) you have one person on the main team for each class, and you'll essentially have your backup roster be another full team, one person for each class more or less, so you have someone specific to swap out the right class. So if roles are important in competitive Splatoon, that's a thing to consider when forming squads.

Yes essentially what I though of first suggesting 6 to 8. Because there would be unhappy members who won't fight almost never. So when tourneys come the best of the best comes to play and no matter how you train and stay on the bench as spare if your not within the best you won't see much play. It's not nice to be part of something and not be part of something at the same time. It's like a shelved project that is there is taken notes off and references but never actually sees the light of the day. I'd like members to go out and play. Make points or just make something for the group not just be Smash's Sandbag to practice and that's it. IMO. Anyone can disagree but that's how I feel.

I completely agree. Perhaps if the people on the bench aren't playing they can be part of another squad. Either that, or part of multiple squads as that would surely mean more play time for them

Why not a rotation? Have 2 players switch out for every battle, not only does it allow everyone to join, but different strategies can be shown from different units

Yes I have that in one of my replies too were I said the leader can modify the Squad with other members when a round is lost or between rounds.. Every member is unike and may perform better in certain situations. So yeah this is another thing I though of. Good you brought it up again.

I wouldnt see it any other way. Rotation is the only way to go if there are to be more than 4 members.

Also, that spelling :p

Membership fee? Huh? XD I was hoping of bringing over any Splatoon people from my Smash Wii U crew over.

I think the fee is your free time :p

Or you could just change the title of this thread to "Clans" and do whatever you want with your clan...

 

[mininut4]

its also very possible I misinterpreted the question. I interpreted it as "how do join the hype train for the game" not as "how do I join the hype train for competing against other squads"

possible oops

So I think my squad will actually have 8 or nine members. I don't usually like having bigger groups of people, but scrimmaging will be easier and such. 9 in case I want to just observe the teams and see how I can help them improve, or if I need a few subs, etc.
Also, @StarForce can I suggest creating multiple components for each member? For example, if for some reason the captain cannot make it, a sub captain should organize the stuff, or be in charge of the other team (if there are 8 players) Basically the captain and sub captain would train their squad, and scrimmage each other. Then in the end, the Captain can choose which team to join in stuff.

Oh yes that is in my plans too. Since teams are made of 4 we will need a second captain. And probably as your case or your choice, I may have 9 members including myself in my Squad as I won't be able to battle. So I need two subcaptains. I'd like to play with my Squads but sadly I don't have a Wii U and there seems to be no plans of one arriving at home at all so I'll just be a voice for the Squads. never the less i would like to have at least one team of 4 under me. It's probably the only Splatoon related thing I'll have. But good of you to remind me.

As for news. The Squad section is almost complete but we are now focusing on Tourneys and cups ranking/scoring so I'll be posting or editing the OP with Squad related info soon Thank you all for your patience. While this is like Zelda U that is getting delayed but the more time we have the better outcome we can have finished for the community.

 

[Captain Norris]

Sounds very exciting.

 

[StarForce]

Indeed. I'm a bit busy but I will be posting by tomorrow.

 

[Captain Norris]

sweet! BTW, I have actually begun a registration for my Squad. Expect some player details from my end in about a week.

Alright the second Squad is joining our thread here. You'll now be referred as Captain Captain Norris.
