What would make Splatoon perfect

this. e.g. press up to open up 4 attacking commands, back for 4 defense commands, left for general commands, and right for taunts and the like

I second this. So much.
There are so many things you should be able to say in a game like this, and if you don't have voice chat, you should have as many callout thingies as possible (there's just too much that C'mon! and Booyah! don't express, like Run Away! or Leave Me Alone!, some sort of I'm Going This Way!, stuff like that).

Also this. This would be nice as well.

More single player and multiplayer content, I don't see why they released a game with 2 modes only but eh, updates will be good I hope.

Also hurry up and make it so I can party up and be on the same team as friends all the time ><

Option to play on the Gamepad

I'll still do anything to have Ping/Gamespeak in Splatoon.
That and buffing teams with a smaller number of players.

You guys have dirty minds. White ink wasn't included because it looks like ejaculate? Get your mind out of the gutter.

The reason why you can't back out of a lobby is to match people up faster and get playing faster. If you let people leave the lobbies then we'll just have lobby hoppers who join a lobby, see something they don't like and leave annoying people like us who just want to play. Seriously, when I played CoD a lot that was the biggest problem. People would see a clan tag and leave. People would see high prestige levels and leave. People would see the map they didn't like and leave. I don't want to sit around for 5 minutes to play a 3 minute match.

The only downside to not being able to leave a lobby whenever you want is that you can sometimes get stuck in a lobby with a connection glitch and be forced to reset your console, but that happened to me only once in my time from leveling from 1 to 20. Trust me, not being able to leave a lobby is more beneficial that not.

Yes, and also because black and white would look really out of place in the otherwise colourful and eclectic colour pairings. It would be a really bad design choice.

Also, it'd be quite hard to see, especially with Black.

The only thing I really want is an option to play online with someone on the same console. Me and my sister play MK8 and Smash together all the time and we really want to be able to play together on Splatoon.

White looks no more out of place than the other colours, and black would actually make sense since real squids squirt black ink.

Very true, we should be able to play together just like with those games. Maybe it wasn't added because it would've been harder to find matches online since you're paired together.

But...they're squid kids and not squids! And honestly,it might be one of the reasons why white isn't in. Since Nintendo presented Splatoon , people said something like : ''Oooh,I'll get white ink...so I can jizz on my enemies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) '' Nintendo refused to implement mic support for defending the kids from insults...so you can guess that they want to let a game be as safe as possible. Additionally,white and black aren't exciting colors like the other ones...both just don't fit in this game anyways.

That could be why, but that didn't stop Mario Kart 8 from having it. o:

Unlike MK8 the experience of the second player will be worse than that of all the primary players as they have less information, mobility and control options

Which is why I'm baffled that this game doesn't support a second Gamepad.

Maybe the Wii U can't handle sending 2 different streams to two devices displaying things in real time

That would be difficult. The Gamepad takes up quite a bit of resources for even simple things like maps, although Splatoon would be a perfect first game for it. I really to see it announced at E3, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

How about showing us a visual progress bar with percents below the 4 vs. 4 squids on top of the HUD instead of us relying on knowing how much turf is covered from the size of the squids on one side (the unofficial Minecraft recreation had numbers).
Then if both sides are really close together in the last 30 seconds of battle, the % gage fades away like in MK8 with it's disappearing position number in the last leg of a race.

I love this idea! You have no idea how many times I could have used a visual aid like this in the last minute of Turf Wars (I usually forget to check the Gamepad, so somethig like that would be helpful).
But you said it would go away in the last bit of a match if both teams are close. Would it come back if one team starts winning by a lot?
...
Wait, the squid sizes told you who was winning? I never knew that. Thanks.

This game is already perfect to me...
