Staaaaaaay Fresh! +++ The Splatoon Fan Club
 


http://orig03.deviantart.net/4254/f/2015/203/b/f/splatoon_blue_icon_by_paumol-d92d2y4.gifIntroduction
Welcome, kids and squids of all backgrounds! Welcome to the PokeCommunity's official Splatoon fan club! This club is a great club for discussing the game as a whole, which includes, but not limited to: weapons, upcoming events, game mechanics, the inklings, and much more! This club is also a hub for online splat matches, so if you own the game and want to join in a match, feel free! No matter what level of experience you have in the game, you are always welcome to join in!

For those who are curious as to what Splatoon is, it's basically a third-person shooter game brought to you by Nintendo, featuring squid-like kids involved in ink battles. The game is heavily reliable on the internet, so expect yourself to play lots of online battles! The game also features a multi-player battle, as well as single player mode. The game was released in May of 2015 and features their own set of Amiibos.

Welcome to Inkopolis!

~In order for us to join a match with friends on YOUR friend list (be sure you add my NNID!), enter the lobby first and foremost. Then, select "Regular Battle/Join Friends!" on the bottom.

~Then, a list of your friends who currently have the game will pop up. If a friend is highlighted in Purple and has a "JOINABLE" status next to their name, that means you are able to join them in the next battle.

~Prepare to wait up to 5 minutes or so for you to be able to join the next battle with your friends.

~Each Splatoon match will only accommodate up to 8 squids, so you will get a chance eventually!

~If you are having trouble, feel free to ask me! Thanks to my boyfriend, I've become an expert on this. :D

This group also has a Skype Chat! In addition to discussion here in the group, we can also do a live chat during online matches & events! CLICK HERE!

http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/a/paumol.gif?13How to Join
All you need to do is express interest in your post by posting a short, brief introduction about yourself! If you own the game and interested in any future splat battles, post your NNID in your post so I can add you.

Any questions or concerns regarding the above, ask me! As Callie & Marie would say,

Sign me up! Splatoon is my main multiplayer jam and it's fun to play with pals~
You already know my NNID, Meganium, but I'll say it again for club-joining purposes.
NNNID: BellaLunaWolf

Meganium July 24th, 2015 9:08 AM

Yay! Welcome aboard. :D Yep, I have you added, and I'm pretty sure you're also part of the skype chat as well (from the splatoon event!).

Pinkie-Dawn July 26th, 2015 6:17 AM

Sign me up as well. Splatoon is such an amazing game, but I'm waiting for the August update, so I've been playing my other games to kill time. My NNID is Pinkie-Dawn.

Cura July 26th, 2015 6:53 AM

Sup everyone. How is all? Splatoon? Sweet, I'll join up.
NNID: Nin★Pony

Dragon July 26th, 2015 8:28 PM

Squiddy!
NNID: LGDArm

Loving the new stage btw. :3

Meganium July 28th, 2015 5:03 PM

I'll be getting online later tonight, will add you guys!

Anyone excited for the massive August update? :D yay for private matches tho!

Pinkie-Dawn July 30th, 2015 4:53 PM

Most definitely excited for the August update. I'm planning to beat Majora's Mask 3D and the Wonderful 101 before August 5th, so I won't have to lose my knowledge from those games after spending numerous days leveling up to 50 in Splatoon.

Kotone July 30th, 2015 9:13 PM

sign me up please! i forget my username on there oops.

Meganium July 30th, 2015 10:32 PM

I'm hoping to get to Level 20 once the update rolls out. I want to start out at that level with everyone else and not feel so behind the others. xD

Yosei August 5th, 2015 1:45 PM

Hello, may I join? c: I started playing Splatoon a few days ago so my level isn't the best >.< My NNID is AmphaGooMarill :3

Meganium August 5th, 2015 10:12 PM

Welcome, Yosei!

How's everyone doing with the new update? Would anyone be interested in a weekend-long event after Splatfest is over?

Also, for those of you in NA, what team are you going for?! Hot dogs or marshmallows? :D

Cura August 6th, 2015 6:52 AM

Hotdogs. I can't eat mashmellows without..... [censored for personal reasons! (nah just kidding on that!)] them getting stuck in my teeth or at times my tongue. Come to think on it, I've never gone camping at all nor had have roasted anything over an open fire. So for me it was more of a personal pick based on dinner nights sometimes. xD

Pinkie-Dawn August 6th, 2015 7:01 AM

I chose marshmallows, because I learned long ago that hot dogs increases your risk of getting cancer.

I have no idea that we also have a skype group. I must join there.

Yeah there is a Skype group, lol. I'm just not in it either. xD

Meganium August 6th, 2015 8:03 AM

yeah, because we have private battles now (played a private battle with my cousin last night and with her friend, it was sooooo much fun), might as well go for it! I'll provide with more details later on. I should have a less...strenuous weekend, so all shall be okay.

Kotone August 6th, 2015 9:38 AM

so because of the private battles now, is there a splatoon skype group?

Meganium August 6th, 2015 6:30 PM

The Skype Chat is posted on the OP, but I'll post here anyways just in case.

CLICK HERE

Pinkie-Dawn August 7th, 2015 10:41 AM

I'll just wait for someone to send me an invite to the Skype group, because when I clicked on the link that leads to the group, I get a pop-up asking me to do something before it opens the link.

Kotone August 7th, 2015 7:47 PM

playing while talking in the skype group is a lot of fun! glad to have people on pc to play splatoon with!

Meganium August 9th, 2015 8:22 AM

Marshmallows won the Splatfest, guys! I knew that because my boyfriend was on Team Marshmallow and he texted me about it. lol.

I only played up to Hot Dog defender, couldn't play as much due to...life. lol

If anyone wants to be added on the skype chat (you guys should update your skype...just saying!), send me an invite. My skype is on my profile.

This is the third Splatfest loss for me. dang. haha.

Yosei August 10th, 2015 7:16 AM

WOO MARSHMALLOWS! :D Congrats to any other marshmallows out there ^-^ I didn't get to do much Splatfest battling because my internet kept disconnecting me ;-; But my friend reached the Marshmallow Queen rank ^-^

Also... is the Skype chat video chat or typing chat...? My tablet doesn't have a camera and I'm not all that comfortable with showing my face anyways... .-.

Meganium August 10th, 2015 10:25 AM

You don't need video or a mic to participate in the skype chat. It's not required.

A general question to get some discussion going...what are your main weapons? Are you a scoper? A roller? A machine gunner? A Splattershot? An inkbrusher?

Dusk August 10th, 2015 12:03 PM

I like a variety of shooter weapons, namely the Aerosprays, The Dual Squelchers, the N-Zaps, and the good ol' Splattershot Jr. Bucket- uh... I mean, the Slosher is also quickly becoming a favorite weapon.

Pinkie-Dawn August 10th, 2015 12:08 PM

I live my N-Zaps, Squelchers, Aerospray RG, Splatling, Slosher, Golden Dynamo Roller, and Carbon Roller.

Meganium August 10th, 2015 4:43 PM

N-Zaps for ranked battles, rollers for turf war battles. however, I prefer weapons with the Killer Wail since it's more effective for me. B)

Cura August 13th, 2015 6:39 AM

Here are my preferred setups:

Ranked Battle - Tower Control: Heavy Splatling, .96 Gal, E-Liter, Dynamo Roller
Ranked Battle - Splat Zones: Heavy Splatling, N-Zap 89, Aerospray RG, Dynamo Roller

Turf Wars: Heavy Splatling, Aerospray RG, Splatshot Jr. (that darn starter weapon), Octobrush

EDIT!! BIG NEWS!

Introducing…. Rainmaker! In Rainmaker, both teams compete to snag the, uhhh, Rainmaker. Once you’ve got it, the goal is to carry it into the other team’s base!

How’s it work, you ask? As soon as the battle begins, grab onto that Rainmaker! It’s guarded by a shield, though, so you’ll need to bust it out first. Once you snag it, head for the other team’s base. And be quick about it!
If you run out of time or get splatted, the Rainmaker will be dropped and its shield will also reactivate. The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you can’t Super Jump while carrying it. Hopefully your teammates will watch your back!
But don’t think the Rainmaker is just some shiny object - it can shoot ink like an Inkzooka. You can even hold to charge the Rainmaker up for an extra-powerful shot! The closer you get to the enemy base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop. If you retreat too far while holding the Rainmaker, it’ll explode sooner! If the battle ends without anyone carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest goal distance will win.

Also that hashtag.

I dare you to make it through your first battle without yelling MAKE IT RAIN!"

Pinkie-Dawn August 13th, 2015 8:21 AM

Let's MAKE IT RAIN! Too bad I'll be busy grinding my gears' new slots before trying out the new mode.

It's in Ranked Battle lol, so I will be to grind in there with it for a good while.

Meganium August 13th, 2015 2:33 PM

Has this mode been added to the game now? Or do we have to update in order to get it.

Rainmaker looks super easy. :D I'm so hyped about this!

Yosei August 13th, 2015 4:03 PM

I'm still only level 9 *cries* I want to get to do Ranked Battles so I can do some with my friend and you guys ^-^ Also... Has anyone else had this happen to them?:

"The connection is unstable."
"The connection has been lost."

And then it brings me back to the lobby >.> Its the main reason I'm still level 9... I can't finish any battles D:

It's only happened to be a few times. Most of the time, my connection was stable, thought there are occasional lags.

It has happened to me several times too. It's not just you, and it's not your internet either. It's Nintendo's end. Because there's so many people playing online at the same time, it's hard for nintendo's servers to keep up. goes to show the game is pretty popular.

I've been level 18 for ages now. I've been meaning to get to level 20 by the end of the summer sooo lol.

Yosei August 14th, 2015 5:30 AM

Soooo with the topic, the only weapons I ever use are my 'N-zaps and Tentatek Splattershot. :3 I like things with a lot of range and a good fire rate like my 'N-zaps, but sometimes I also like getting close up in combat so damage is good on my Tentatek Splattershot. ^-^ I haven't unlocked Ranked Battles yet, so this is just for Turf Wars... >.>

Turf Wars are fine, just get a little dull after a bit. Rank Battles are somewhat fun and somewhat hell at times. The whole, you have to either gain more points than the other team or completely knock them out is a pain at times because your teammates will never move onto the tower OR from the first splatzone. Always playing defense and well, it either stalemates OR the enemy team gets one point more than your team and you lose (and get little exp and money). Its a risky mode.

Meganium August 14th, 2015 4:34 PM

Turf Wars tend to get boring after a while of grinding. They could really use some different "non competitive modes" to play around with.

However, it does go down to hell when it's Splatfest. ;D

I love how Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto is in the background there. Just enjoying the show. Its great.

Meganium August 15th, 2015 11:48 PM

OMFG GUYS RAINMAKER IS FREAKING AWESOME.

Had somewhat of a winning streak a little while ago. Went from a C- to a C+ then back down to a C- again (lol back to the drawing board). But maaaan that was so much fun. Been playing non-stop and now it's 3 am lmaoooo.

Kotone August 16th, 2015 8:09 AM

it looks like rainmaker would be a lot of fun. i really like all these new battle modes they are adding!

Meganium August 16th, 2015 9:17 AM

I'm gonna play some more later on today. I feel like I'm on fire, and my NZAP is amazing at Rainmaker. Just that I need to practice a little more so I don't get caught on another "up-down" streak.

Also, these winnings really help a lot if you want to level up quickly. Almost to level 19 now. I really want to open my amiibos now.

Pinkie-Dawn September 1st, 2015 11:10 AM

You know, taking the rainmaker yourself to enemy base makes up for not being in first place on your team. In one of my matches in Rainmaker Mode, I was able to take rainmaker to enemy base without dying once. It must be a rare moment, knowing how intense Rainmaker mode can get, as well as other modes in Ranked Battles.

Meganium September 3rd, 2015 5:17 PM

I've began to emerge into Splat Zones and it looks like my Squelcher does its job pretty well, which made me reach the B rank (down to a C+ rank again recently after a few awful matches in Rainmaker). I'll try again later on tonight before it switches modes again.

Also, I unlocked the Aerosprays recently and omg I LOVE THAT WEAPON. I now know why people are using that weapon so much, and how it's so overused. Because of the rapid fire and the shorter range, I may stick with the Squelcher in ranked, and use the Aerospray occasionally in Turf.

Which leads to the question I have for those who main the Aerospray: RG or MG? Why?

Pinkie-Dawn September 4th, 2015 7:48 AM

RG, because of the Inkstrike (I'm terrible at using the Inkzooka due to my bad aiming).

Meganium September 7th, 2015 7:58 PM

Yeah, I'm used to the RG because Inkstrike gives you more ink points during battle. My boyfriend is more of an MG user, he prefers Seekers. xD

OKARINxMAYUSHII September 13th, 2015 3:07 AM

Heeeey, I've had the game since it came out and I'm still totally addicted ;w;
My favorite weapon is the Splattershot Jr. but I'm currently trying to get better with the Charger. If you'd have me I'd really like to join ^^
My NNID and Skype are both Blastystoise :3

Sweet. Welcome aboard. I'm trying to dip into the chargers, especially the E-Liters, but they are extremely heavy for me to carry, however...they do pack a punch not for one enemy but for three. :P What Charger are you trying to specialize?

I'll add you when I get home (currently away), and be sure to join our Splatoon skype chat in the meantime! :)

Trying to master the Hero Charger Replica, because it just looks so cool :3 I joined the Skype chat, looking forward to chatting/splatting with you all ^^

Meganium September 18th, 2015 8:09 AM

Anyone play through Hammerhead Bridge when it came out? How did it go, turf war-wise and ranked-wise?

Also. Splatfest for us Americans coming tonight! Art vs. Science! Guess who will be playing after work tonight :) I think Europeans have Messy vs. Tidy this weekend.

http://cdn.wikimg.net/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/d/dd/North_American_Splatfest_Art_vs_Science.jpg/800px-North_American_Splatfest_Art_vs_Science.jpg

I know... I didn't know either.

Pinkie-Dawn September 18th, 2015 10:27 AM

I was in class when Hammerhead Bridge was available. ;_;

I don't know if it's available to play in the current rotation.

Meganium September 18th, 2015 6:27 PM

It was earlier today. The map is very short, narrow and you can easily dominate the other side if you & your team are quick enough. Only won one turf war match out of the bunch I've played in.

Meganium October 2nd, 2015 7:59 PM

So about that new weapon that came out earlier tonight. Carbon Roller Deco. Anyone a fan of it? I tried it out earlier today, and I was pretty excited because my boyfriend is a huuuuuge Seeker user, in which he mains the Aerospray MG. Seeker Bomb Rush is super awesome and it does pack a punch when you're in defense mode. Bad thing about the new roller is that it does not "squish" or do much damage as the other rollers, which is a huge letdown for him...and for myself.

If you've used the regular carbon roller before, then you would've already expected its weak kill power, but then again, most roller mains do not attempt to "squish" their opponents due to their risk factor.
