Since I think the other topic about story mode is basically a thread question form, I decided to make a general one you guys can use until release.
Discuss the ideas for this mode!

I loved the platforming they showed off in the trailer. The jumping across the gears in particular looked really fun. If they're confident that the squid mode is precise enough to make a *platformer out of the singleplayer mode, then I'm extra hype to use it in multiplayer.
Also there seemed to be a good amount of combat. I'm hoping combat will be used to break up the pacing from the platforming in singleplayer as opposed to being the main focus. Multiplayer will provide plenty of combat and I'd prefer to get something pretty different out of singleplayer.
*edit: spelling

I agree with 007, combining platforming elements with the chaotic paint-filled run n' gun style of multiplayer Splatoon looks to be quite promising.
I'd also like to see some types of rewards for people who complete the story mode. Maybe this could be a new costume, or perhaps a symbol next to your name (like stars in Mario Kart)

Looking forward to single-player now that it's been announced, I'm hoping for a good amount of combat that won't overwhelm the unique paint-splattering features of Splatoon. One reward for completing story mode that I'd really like to see is a Shadow Mario skin for you character in multiplayer.

My initial reaction to seeing the trailer was "1P mode? But I want to hear about all the cool multiplayer features!" I'm warming up to it pretty quickly though. The squid vs. octopus theme seems hilarious and I want to see how they implement it. I'm wondering how they plan on conveying the plot of the mode, though. Also, some of the images from the trailer make the world seem much darker than I originally thought.

Check it out: "Investigative Report from the Squid Research Lab. The protagonist, wearing the Hero Suit, travels through this underground world. The Octopus Army Corps, hoping to invade the Squid's world, built this underground facility. Is it just me that feels the Octopus' longing for the world above-ground from the blue sky projected onto those large monitors?"

The Splatoon twitter's been really busy. Hope they don't give out too much, and find a rythmn of posts to keep hype up.
Also, an ENGLISH twitter would be awesome.

What if skins come out? Like the hero suit looks really cool. But what if you can wear it as a skin in online play. Without any buffs and debuffs.
But in the story mode, what do you think the hero suit does? I personally think that it gives you buffs. Like faster fire rate etc etc.

I personally hope the Hero Suit is just cosmetic in both single and multiplayer. I would really like if single player helped prepare players for multiplayer in interesting ways while still controlling the same.

The hero suit seems to be exclusive to single player. Maybe the hero suit is actually an oxygen tank for the Inklings to breath underground.

I am really curious about the story of the game.
The world of Splatoon loks quite chaotic and whimsical, so there is potential for a cool and memorable little story for the game.

Indeed it does, I don't expect much of a big plot from a game like this. Hopefully it's as classic as the Super Mario Bros. plot.

It seems like the story mode will be fairly comprehensive, to be honest. I'm expecting something surprisingly detailed.

I'm guessing it's some sort of conspiracy/uprising plot. At least that's what I got from the all the papers and posters they showed in the trailer.

The octopus live underground. The squid live on the surface. The octopus are trying to invade the world. Shoot stuff'n'stuff.
