Help?
Okay, I'm really confused. I don't know how to work anything on the wiki, how this operates, and I'm horrible at Splatoon. I need some serious, serious help and advice.PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 02:49, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Periwinkke
 * Yeah the wiki can look complicated and weird at first, but it's really pretty simple. There's just two kinds of pages you need to worry about. The first is the main articles (or "mainspace"), stuff like... White Tee, Moray Towers, jellyfish, yknow. The second is Inkipedia stuff, like user pages, projects, etc. They both work the same, just hit "edit" up at the top to make changes. If you want, there's a bunch of thing to read in Help:Contents and more on MediaWiki, but here's my quick little rundown on how to add good stuff:
 * Always write in third person, no contractions.
 * Keep the aesthetics of a page in mind.
 * Lurk around other people's edits, it'll help you get a good feel for things.
 * Double check your edits! I forget this a lot haha
 * If you're not sure about something, ask about it on the Ink Pump or on the appropriate person's talk page.
 * Uh... as for not being good at Splatoon, get a real easy weapon and just keep playing Turf War til you feel comfortable with it. For me, that weapon's the Aerospray RG. It gets a bad rap, but it's easy to do well with.
 * So yeah. 😛 --Bzeep!   talk   04:39, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Looks like I just need to practice more. PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 14:14, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Periwinkle


 * Periwinkle reminds me of myself from when I was new to this site, back in July. If you need any help, you could come to my talk page and ask me anything that's concerning you. Stay fresh! --Sigma   talk 15:08, 21 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, I think I've realized part of my problem. I seem to be splatted more in games than other inklings... My favorite weapon to use is the neo splash-o-matic, and I feel pretty comfortable with it, although I think super jumping into bad places has become a habit of mine. That, or I'm just a really bad player and I'm doomed to never be good at this, lol. But thanks for all of the helpful tips so far- I'll keep practicing and I hope to comtribute to the wiki more!

 * Hey, Periwinkle, if you'd like, I could add a Splatfest section to your page if you give me your teams and Splatfest titles. Oh, also, you could friend me and I could show you a few tips n' tricks in Splatoon. :) --Sigma   talk 22:54, 21 November 2015 (UTC)


 * That sounds great, thanks! I started playing in late august- my first splatfest would've been Autobots vs. Deceptions, but I missed that one, and not by choice. Then I was a Science Champion, Plane Fiend, and finally a Pirate Queen. There should be another Splatfest soon, correct? They happen about once a month, I've noticed...

 * I honestly don't know how I manage to do it- I was splatted five times in my last round of Turf War. Does anybody have any suggestions or useful strategies for a user of a shooter weapon? PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 23:28, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Periwinkle


 * If you don't feel like you're getting the hang of it, try watching a bunch of gameplay of people who really got it down. I recommend SkyTrax and Relados, cuz they don't talk (thank god). Before I even got the game, I was totally hooked on gameplay videos, so when I finally started playing it wasn't that hard. Uh... here's some stuff I learned that some players seem to not know:
 * When climbing a wall, mash X, you'll go faster.
 * Try to swim as much as possible. the only time you should be walking and not shooting is if you're on a grate.
 * Swim Speed and Ink Recovery are surprisingly helpful. Forget Damage Up unless you're using a Charger. (And you're good at it.)
 * Super Jumping should be used strategically - don't give your enemies a free splat. Unless it's Tower Control, hah.
 * Be crafty. Put subs and specials in pleaces enemies have to go through, hide in little puddles of Ink or on walls for surprise attacks, sneak around enemies when they're making a push, yknow. Furthermore, be a pain in the butt. I've found it's easiest to do with the Custom Splattershot Jr. (or anything else with Disruptors probly, but I like the CSJ).

 * I just tried Bzeep's strategy about swimming as much as possible and trying to be crafty- didn't go so well the first time. I guess I have to keep at it a little more. I think I'm having trouble with my burst bombs as well... Although I love the Inkzooka! PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 00:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Periwinkle


 * Also, my current gear- Neo Splash-o-Matic, Special Forces Beret with opening gambit, special duration up, and two quick super jumps, a White Sailor Suit with Ink Saver Main, two special duration ups, and a defense up, and Punk Cherries with bomb sniffer, run speed up, attack up, and special duration up.

 * Hmm... Burst Bombs are better for mobility than anything else imho, like with the E-liter. The Splash is pretty mobile to begin with, so I don't know if the Burst Bombs are really the best sub for it. But yeah, the Inkzooka's super fun. Speaking of which, here's a little tip: you can get a maximum of six shots from the Zooka, so if an enemy uses it, listen for how many times they fire. If it reaches six, you're in the clear after that.
 * As for your gear, I'd ditch Opening Gambit. The gear that has it is all really cute and it is pretty nice in the first thirty seconds, but for the rest of the battle it's completely useless. And Ink Saver Main's a good all-around ability to have, but I'd replace Bomb Sniffer with something else, too. It does come in handy sometimes, but you're better off practicing noticing bombs and stuff yourself so you can uh... be the Bomb Sniffer.
 * Some other abilities to consider - for main and sub where applicable - are Special Charge Up (so you can use that Zooka more... or whatever else you got), Ink Resistance Up (it's surprising how much this helps), Cold Blooded (improves stealthiness), Swim Speed Up (nyoom), and Comeback (kinda similar to Opening Gambit, but not as limited and really good in Ranked).
 * Hope it helps. :B --<font face="SimSun"><font color="#f2992e">Bzeep!  <font face="SimSun"><font color="#f7c282"> talk   01:03, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Time to hit the shops, then! Thanks so much for the advice! I'd do anything to improve that Inkzooka. :) PeriwinklePanther32 (talk) 01:12, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Periwinkle
