Splatoon

Hey, I said "in hindsight".

Certainly better than tofu and gomadofu.

Gomadofu? That sounds like an Evil Counterpart of tofu!

It's just tofu with black sesame (goma) paste added to it.

... Yes, the Zelda boss is named for sesame seeds.

^It's sesame tofu. =) Made with black sesame seeds.

Also, the Inklings don't really do much defending, except for Agent 3, and that's because she and Captain Cuttlefish are the only two people in Inkopolis who care one whit about the Octarians.

So gomadofu is the Dark Pit^note not evil, just a palette swap and somewhat grouchier of tofu, gotcha.

So, anyone else kinda wished that the Hero Replica weapons were more than reskins of basic ones? Hell, I'd like it if they were the alternative versions: Tentatek and Krak-On.

As someone who cannot find the Splatoon amiibo and probably never will be able to, no, not really.

Well, I meant it would be nice if they were the "custom version" reskins since those often have a more appealing sub and special.

Well, I guess Suction Bombs and KW are very cool. But Burst Bomb Rush just seems... "Meh."

Now making the Hero Replicas completely unique would kind of be cool, but also alianating and a giant middle finger to people who can't get amiibo.

But it would also make them feel special...

Because quadrupling the single player content and giving three of the best outfits in the game isn't enough?

Eh, the outfits don't have abilites unique to them.

And the missions aren't new stages or anything. Just replaying with a different weapon. Or an easy mode with time limit. Or an annoying ink limit.

So I had an interesting lag issue in one match. I was playing ice cream tower control and I get on the tower. Strangely, the tower isn't moving and there wasn't anyone of the opposing team on the tower. I'm like, "Game? Move? Can you move please?" Then the tower installed a flux capacitor and it went 88 MPH. It didn't help that the tower had be pushed by the enemy team prior, so you can imagine how fast the tower went.

Thankfully, I didn't get DC'ed.

Two new weapons coming: An Inkbrush with Ink Mines and Bubbler, and a slower Blaster with more range.

Inkbrush with Bubbler sound pretty powerful.

Ranged Blasters though, oh man.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that Inkbrush. Losing the coverage given by the Sprinkler and Inkstrike might be a bit of a blow, but it will definitely be nice to have some reliable ambush support and panic buttons.

I've had some good experiences with the Blasters, and this one sounds amazing- Extra range, about as much punch, and a Splash Wall sub? Yes, please!

And everything could use Inkstrike- It's not ever the best for any given stage or mode but it's versatile enough that it usually hits second or third instead of being all over the place like some of the others.

Range Blaster sounds like a good time.

I don't know about the ranged blaster. They already have problems killing once you get past that explosion. It having longer range and a slower fire rate just makes doing that easier.

I look forward to trying out the Range Blaster, but I fully expect it to be even more harsh to use, yes. But if the range and damage output is sufficient enough, it will also definitely be able to threaten the likes of .52 Gals in a head-on fight... And unlike the Rapid Blaster, I fully expect a direct shot to still be a kill, no matter the range. If you have the aim and preparation for, it will still be a dominant force even up close.

The Splash Wall is a really nice addition, of course. Should give you at least some ability to block, back off and escape from bad, close-in situations.

Marshmallows vs. Hot Dogs splatfest announced. Red ink vs. Green ink.

It's also the first one after the update.

Team Marshmallow go~

Oh, man. This is tough. I love both.

Things you put a stick through and toast over a fire?

I'm hoping that Marshmallow wins this time, as a Marshmallow Cat Water Slide I'm tired of losing.

Team Hot Dogfish for me. I only care for marshmallows when they are paired with chocolate and gram crackers. I am also expecting Marie to be on team Hotdog.

I'm not sure.

I'll probably pick hot dogs. Woof Woof Sizzle.

Team Marshmallow for me, primarily because of Count Chocula. And also I'm a vegetarian so that kinda rules out hot dogs.

Given the game's target audience, though, I'm afraid we'll have another Cats vs. Dogs situation in that Team Marshmallow will have way more participants and win by sheer numbers.
