So now that we got to try out Splatoon for ourselfs, we can almost guess how deep and strategic it can get. I think it can go really deep and be a very advanced shooter especially with that amount of customization. Also the new ranked modes seem alot of fun. Splatoon MLG? and now while playing it i kinda see why they didnt have voice chat. Its much easier to have  a party with friends and use skype, and mute option could be there but that would give an unfair advantage to the other team that doesnt care about muting. Im excited for the games release :)

It seems like it could be pretty deep. There looks to be a good split between weapons for fighting and weapons for painting; a good well organized team could create a multitude of traps which best exploit this. Other weapons will likely go even more in-depth and with time, more strategies and possibilities will open...

In short, yes there's a lot of promise. Whether it goes "MLG" as you say, I dunno. Not sure if it's THAT deep.

I think there are tactics people can use, but I think its up to people's imagination to create metas for the game.

Maybe not as deep as say "Super Smash Bros. Melee" but I still think this game has a lot of potential for a pretty deep meta, with all the different weapons avaliable in this game.

I think it will be good enough for esports

I can see it being an esport but there still needs a lot of experimentation before we can tell how deep its metagame will be. I can see it being deep enough to warrant a competitive scene around it though.

If you want to kill you pick the charger, If you want to win the match you pick the roller.

I'm predicting insanity once the ranked matches open up. After seeing what I can do with a splattershot jr. and a bad attitude, I can only see it getting better once everything is unlocked.

splatoon has potential e sports potential..

ps

you look like that boy from the walking dead

haha i have gotten that alot xD I just take it as it is :)
