It's Callie

am i allowed to be excited for spla2n yet?

it'll be a launch title, right?
i'll be playing it in march..

r-right?

Testfire one month after Switch is out
Game release 2 months after that
Prease be exciterd

Man, the testfires were amazing. I'd barely noticed the game until the ad popped up on my gamepad, I just figured I'd give it a go because why not, and one hour later it was an instant buy. I can't remember the last time something was that fun.

Literally no one cares about your shit taste you stupid faggot.

Tell it to the other 5 squids my dude

I actually didn't like anything about the game prior to the Direct/Testfire.
I thought it looked childish and was pandering to some oddball niche Nickelodeon/90s kids demographic.

Maybe that was the case, too, but I found myself immediately in love with the aesthetic of the gameworld when I actually played it.
I remember when the Testfire changed peoples minds about the game and /v/ was flooded with 10-15 threads while it was in session.
I'm glad Nintendo did at least one thing right in the past few years.

Yeah, even the background music on the testfire screen got me hype. I basically went from
>heh, a paint roller
to
>holy fuck this is so satisfying

Dead.

Just resting.

i am

but i dont really see much reason to hung around before then
unless they make another announcement soon

Ingrysh

Marie is dank! DANK!

Marie memes. Mariemes.

anyone want to squad today?

sure when is rainmaker or not museum zones?

>he doesn't like museum zones
wow shittiest of tastes

i liked it 3 months ago when it first got to be the main event. im sick of it now

I played a little Gears of War 4's Horde mode this weeknd at a friend's house; is there any way you could see a horde mode working in Spla2n? Here are my biggest concerns:

>maps are too small; we could prolly jus spawncamp the horde at Walleye or Skatepark
>you can move across the map too fast in Splatoon and swim away from danger; Gears is slow and methodical
>TTK is too fast; either bots would get you in two shots or vice versa
>Enemy variety, but this could be fixed by using enemies from the campaign and also giving Octos access to all of Sheldon's weapons

Is there any way you think horde mode could be implemented in a Splatoon sequel?

That was one of the earliest wished for modes, but yeah, you'd need special maps for it and some sort of bullet sponge to protect. It would be amazing to have it proper enemies though.

>its one of those episodes where your team doesn't get on the tower
what can ya do?

anyone want to squad or just tw?

sure i jus got bumped down a rank so i need a pick me up

nnid?

chimpimonito

I'm just A rank, so please understand

okay i already have you added lol

i'll set up the twin

we got this

oh man... that didn't go well

at least we bounced back -- you know you're playing good when you make them ragequit, so nice work lol

twin squad is back up if you want

that was so weird! everyone dced and I kept going on the tower

wait, let me buy some gear

okay no problem

ugh sorry for the wait, went by mistake to the weapon shop and he wouldn't shut up

oh we've all been there lol

Splatoon Switch needs to allows players to swap hands not as customisation but on the fly to deal with right side peeking

it'll be out in May giving Splatoon 2 years meaning everyone got their money's worth and as says there'll probably be a testfire or two prior to launch

well we tried lol

i'm gonna get something to eat -- good games

yeah, but we were really close
enjoy your meal! good games!

just played through the squid girl amiibo recently, forgot how fun hero mode was
what's everyone's favorite stage? mine is the one with the wind turbines and the octosnipers

The inkline one where there's a giant spiral traverse at the end. I think it's one of the bigger levels.

Drawfag here. Hit me with a request.

Draw your interpretation of the current state of ink

spooky halloween themed squidkid

draw me like your french girls

Its been a while since I've played splatoon. Is there ever going to be another splatfest or was callie vs marie the last one? Also, is woomy still a meme?

scum vs Marie was the final splatfest and the only one that mattered.
also yes, Woomy is still a thing, along with squidkids and splatatata...

alright, thanks

Woomy trick or treating from the perspective of the homeowner's door.

Assistant drawfag here. That other user is hard at work fulfilling your requests, so are there any other draw requests I can help out with in the meantime?

I'm not as good as her but I am faster, kind of like the Pokemon massage therapists in Gold / Silver

your favorite weapon now has a new color and/or deco pattern, draw what it looks like

Draw my squid, please?

>Assistant drawfag

Damn, this is next level. We got organisational structure going on.

they've organized themselves since they got their own little drawdiscord going on

>banned for posting daily mammemmi for three days because of "off-topic posting"

and then the next one was fun, too

well that was fast lol

congrats on A+!

this is a good stopping point for me after this last Luna meme brigade

that was a good hard fought battle -- plus we beat a bunch of S / S+ ranked squids

good games as always

good games! we did really good tonight

Live dang you.

...

>A+ harder
wasnt for me, A, A+ and S were a breeze compared to B+ A- hell

Why? The daily squads are over. Let's put the thread to sleep until someone wants to play again.
