Splatoon Thread: Corporate Shill Edition

...

Why the fuck would you try to swim in a giant vat of yogurt like that? She's completely ruined it, what a dumb bitch.

...

I FUCKING HATE INK RESISTANCE

At least I will have my revenge in the ranked matches, with any bit of luck The lack of damage increase gear hurts, but I know its for balance reasons On the plus side the Grizz Co mode is pretty funnish

Surprisingly, the fastest time I beat this guy at was 4:30ish with the Inkbrush. Honestly have no clue how I did it, but I did. Glad I never have to touch the fucker again though.

Also, what are your favorite tracks from the game so far, anons?

Subtle nintendo.

I've never used ink resistance, I favor making my gun more efficient. Does it allow you to walk/swim at normal speed in enemy ink? Or some speed between normal and not at all?

fug forgot to embed

Jesus, I expected Octavio to rape Callie's ass, not mine.

This reminds me too much of DK Island Swing, and I'll be fucked if it isn't catchy as hell.
Embed related.

I just thought of something, are Marie and Pearl the only squids you can cum inside of without killing them since white ink?

Marie's ink is green

LOCAL SQUID CELEBRITY IS SMUGGEST BEING IN UNIVERSE
on another note I've been off Holla Forums to avoid story spoilers, how big of a mountain of mind-break Callie porn is there now? those sons of bitches knew exactly what they were doing when they made the story mode

Let's talk about Salmon Run

So Callie and other girl are replaced with a nigger and a loli?

So sad. Splatoon 2 is dropped for me.

I have no clue, specifically because I fucking knew if it was mind control there'd be a fuckton of it on HypnoHub or some other shitty site, and was explicitly avoiding that shit to. That aside, I thought for sure that Pearl and Marina were going to be part of this game's singleplayer, either as villains acting as sleeper agents or as anti-villains that you'd need to 'redeem' despite seeing them all the fucking time when you boot up the game. I'm surprised and disappointed they didn't go for that, especially with Marina being an Octonigger.

sage for shilling and to get this autism out

ur a faget, anti-anti-sage

The umbrella one is the absolute worst

Wait, what color is Pearl's ink?

The only time you can't play is like 2am to 8am, get some fucking sleep.

Played and really loved splatoon 1 but I don't know much about splatoon 2

Except that I love this song and squids with huge forheads

I want to hug Pearl

Her ink is pink, while Marina's is lime green.

(checked)

Every boss has a weak point. You just gotta learn what it is then fucking shoot it like crazy.

I feel I would have been happy just continue playing Splatoon 1, I already had a switch so I figured why not and get this but it's nothing special it's more of a remix than anything. Got a few gripes with it nothing that ruins the game but I feel some of the maps are too big and they've reused 2 Splatoon maps that I know of. I don't really like the music from the lobby music to the gameplay and especially in the plaza, sounds like someones farting in the distance. Also feel the plaza isn't as cool as the first. As I've said, I didn't need to buy this, I'll still play it but I'm not hooked on it.

I found a weird glitch in hero mode. Sometimes when your suit gets damaged, the entire thing disappears including the shoes, headgear and undershirt. I don't know what causes this to happen but if you get the zap fish in this state it will persist onto the victory screen.

Marina's is mint, Marie's is lime green

really? I felt like alot of the newer maps are way too small and claustrophobic, there aren't alot of alternative routes you can take to get you away from the hotter combat zones, the maps always seem to want to lead you to the middle area now
honestly I hope they add more of the older stages back
I really took simple stages like Walleye Warehouse for granted in the first game, I'd love to have it, and the mall back

This boy must be loved

Speaking of the victory screen, I am shocked and appalled that they didn't add in the little headpat the Inkling gave to the stuffed Zapfish like in Splatoon 1.

Some of them feel huge to me, the indoor skatepark and I don't remember the other maps, a lot of these maps are really forgettable, Splatoon 1 had way better map design and themes. Marijuana mall is great.

Is it just me or did they decrease the inkling ass

Fug, dropped the ball once more.

Someone prove this mans theory.

...

She has been permanently marked. She will never erase the fact she was OCTOED.
She even says that she still feels pain from the tattoo

uh oh

Sure doesn't look like it from the eye color select screen

...

i doubt it. octavio didnt hurt cuttlefish when he captured him. he still remembers that they were friends so i doubt hed actually harm his family either.

yeah i was a little taken aback too, but it does lend some character to agent 4.

im not fond of the jet fish myself. every other boss fish has weapons that excel against them but killing that guy on your own in one sitting is such a situational thing since it will leave you with no ink to defend yourself with unless i suppose you have a good super to back it up with.
its such a relief when you and your teammates actually bomb 2 seperate barrels, so often 3 will end up in one.

i feel like with the maps ive seen so far your movement is way more free. i would agree that there are a few that lend towards close combat though.
if i could bring back a map it would be urchin underpass. though honestly i like what they did with the 2 maps that did make a return and im sure if arrowana which i despise did make a return it would be given the moray towers treatment with a few ink lines or grind rails to make it less of a chokepoint match.
it wouldnt surprise me to see urchin underpass. i would say it was the poster map and it even appears in mario kart as a battle stage.

i dont know what you two like about the mall other than it being kind of badass with deadly aqueducts and fountains. it felt like the 2fort of the game. well, it wasnt my cup of tea but i guess i can see some people enjoying the king of the mountain thing it has going on.
themes were definitely more pronounced though. the 2 maps in the first rotation of splatfest? i could barely tell them apart aside from the actual layout which you would never say about the first game. but they are good maps i think. though to be fair, plenty of things start to look the same when theyre all inked one color and it feels like a lot more surfaces are inkable.
a thought that crosses my mind from time to time is that the gameplay is better in splatoon 2 but not everything else had as much love put in to it.

Why is the Splash Down the Best Special in the game

Also Salmon Run on 250% Kicked my ass in 6 seconds

Because Killer Wail is gone.

Perfect, describes exactly how I feel about the game. Everything in your post fits exactly how I feel about the game, I'm sort of disappointed with it, it's not as charming to me as the first game is. I just hope Splatoon doesn't die anytime soon, I really got back into it before the second one came out.

...

I'm sorry user that was a rookie mistake, if I have to call someone's waifu shit I could atleast have the courtesy of calling them their actual name.

Octonigger DISGUSTING.

Perfect.

it will always live on in our hearts. forever ink stained some gnarly magenta green tie dye.
i think this looks like either a pink or green tentacle depending on how you look at it.

isnt the sound bite you used for nigger the same one as when they throw a grenade? thats fuckin hysterical, now every time i hear them throw a bomb theyre going to be calling me a nigger.

i remember reading a while ago that splatoons sound effects were made from mayonnaise, but i cant find anything pointing to that any more.

My copy of Splatoon2 comes in sometime today.
I'm a veteran from Splatoon1, also fluent in Japanese so I've been avoiding NOA's ((localization)) well before they went SJW.

Any advice?
My current plan atm is to start by playing a bunch of online to catch up to everyone else on my ranking, then go back and start playing through the Story mode.
Also experiment with some Salmon Run when I feel like it.

Octolings are superior

going through some of the story mode levels you'll find tickets for the food truck in the main plaza
those can grant you shit like 1.5 extra experience/money and shit for 20 matches each
those might help you play catch up

Oohh, I had no idea, thanks for the tip user!
Apparently you can get food tickets in Salmon Run as well.

I'll try downloading mumble to see if I can get it to work. Fuck Nintendo's Switch Online app. Only thing it's good for is shopping and seeing stage rotation.

Get friends not feels and play Salmon Run.
I can understand the time limit because of the rewards. Still it's retarded that there is a time limit in the first place.

I wonder how much of Callie's hypnosis is brainwashing as opposed to suggestion.
There could be more reasons behind why Callie went missing aside from kidnapping. If Callie left willingly because of her last Splatfest that would make more sense. Also I'm liking Callie's angsty teenage phase. I hope she ditches the tat and shows her midriff more.

Debateable. They lost the great turf war and Inkopolis. It's going to be a while until Marina conquers Inkopolis with her hip-hop beats.

Oh sempai!
I have to try this with the girl before it gets patched out.

Next time Salmon Run opens up you can get meal tickets from it.

I made it to 150% awith randos somehow. Holy shit high tide with eels, bombers, and missilers is fucking bullshit.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

If anything Octavio respects the cap'n as a combatant of the great turf war. Speaking of that. Would the great turf war be the Splatoon version of World War II?

I kinda want Walleye Warehouse to return with dash pads with enemy colored sponges to cock-block for troll moments. I like to see more singple player ocbstacles in multiplayer maps in general.

How fluent do you actually have to be for something like Splatoon 2? I guess I'm around N5 level right now.

I took the JLPT N2 in December 2012 and passed it; I've never taken the actual N1, but I've tested for it, I know I could pass it if I did take it, and I'm basically beyond anything the N1 tests for at this point (I know a lot of highly specialized terms for some subjects, such as "transformation matrix" （変換行列）、"blood vessel" （血管）、etc….I once wrote a program to read in and animate/render PMX files using this document, which is only available in Japanese (PMX is a model format used with MikuMikuDance):
github.com/hirakuni45/glfw3_app/blob/master/glfw3_app/docs/PMX_spec.txt

This is a very rough estimate, but Splatoon probably requires around N3 or N2 minimum:
So the kanji themselves are generally pretty basic, but factors such as limited ability to learn new words while playing and limited time to read some text make me recommend a higher JLPT level as minimum.

...

Got it, thanks. Do you have any games to recommend for practicing? My idea was to reach level 10 in WaniKani while doing grammar on the side, then jump into a text-only game to practice in context.

dualies are the best fucking weapon prove me wrong

p.s. post discord link

...

Its been 3 days. Best weapon so far is The Tentatect

I forgot to mention I don't have autism.

Dualies best in terms of fun.

The Fun stops when you hit ranked.

I don't even use motion controls so I can't fucking aim

Before I recommend any games, let me give a quick summary of how I got to the point of reading Japanese media.
> Sophomore year in high school, second semester, got a free study period out of nowhere. Went to library every day and studied Kanji for an hour using readthekanji.com (was a free service at the time)

OK, so at that point in time, I knew a lot of spoken Japanese, but didn't know how to read much of it. ReadTheKanji helped me start connecting the dots between spoken and written words, but the thing that really took me to the next level was…

Visual Novels.
Many Visual Novels have voice acting that for all dialogue (but not for the narrative passages).
While I was initially unable to understand many words in the narrative passages, I was able to learn many kanji without a dictionary or any other tool, simply by hearing a word I already recognized while seeing a new kanji that I didn't in a dialogue passage.
And any words in dialogue passages I didn't know at all, I could look up in the dictionary half the time based on how they sounded.

I also used Rikaichan extensively during this period to try and look up any words in narrative passages that I didn't know but could look up thanks to furigana or their constuction of kanji that I already knew.
(To this day, I do not know an electronic dictionary that works better than Rikaichan. USE IT.)

Because I run Linux and can't really play most VNs on my PC, I actually purchased a PSP and PS3 pretty much exclusively for the purpose of playing visual novels. PS3 wasn't really worth the purchase, but PSP has a ton of cheap visual novel ports you can pick up.

Also worth noting I picked up some light novels at the time as well; they're harder to pick up than visual novels, but tend to have more furigana than most VNs provide.

I actually didn't really use manga to further my Japanese studies, but in retrospect manga might have been a really good place to start in terms of reading Japanese media, lots of furigana and easier reading than visual/light novels.

Sage for off-topic.

So, as far as specific game recommendations go:
Are probably my best recommendations.

One more thing: I never really studied Japanese grammar. I just kind of figured it out while watching tons of anime. Compared to English, it's SUPER-simple and very consistent (whereas in English, there's a ton of rules and an exception for every rule)
I wouldn't try to study the technicalities of grammar like most language courses will teach it to you; instead, just pay attention to where は、が、へ、に、etc. are used and you'll figure it out soon enough.

oh come on now guys don't tell me you're seriously too autistic to use discord

Mumble? Really? Why don't we just use ICQ?

fightan fags are the worst.

git gud

No

When does she say that? I didn't see it in the refight dialogue
I can imagine Callie getting it was like this:

I play vidya for fun, faggoli, sorry that you can't have fun unless you're mashing inputs in sequence. Why don't you play this best fightan :^)

discord is fuckin gay, mumble just fucking works. like mumble as in mumbling words and spaghetti. discord? like as in your throat is fuckin gay? that's fucking gay. Only cool kids use mumble, so fuck off mark.

Mumble is just more easier to set up tbh. Also Discord is fulla fags.

This reeks of reddit

you fucking reek of shit you fucking moron, the only people who use discord is autistic people (example: MARK) and stupid niggers who can't use irc or mumble because stupid nigger brain, stupid fucking nigger

Discord is chink spy software nigga,

...

This reeks of BRs also.

>There could be more reasons behind why Callie went missing aside from kidnapping.
im guessing octavio escaped or was sprung out by loyalists when no one was looking, and to alleviate doubts she had about herself after that unholy splatfest she decided to try to stop him on her own instead of contacting the squidbeaks first
as for the tattoo, just swim in ink

"what if super ghosts and goblins was a loli and her clothes exploded when she was damaged?" -some wonderful soul at nintendo

oh what mischief, i love it

theyre essentially aerospray or super saiyan jrs but usable against things that arent sneezing range.

i remember an user or two lamenting how stick turning couldnt go vertical if you had motion controls on. personally i really like this as i have to reset my view far less often, but it should definitely be an option! being comfortable with the controls is absolutely critical to any real time game.

you know whats easy to set up? ventrilo

Is that suppose to be an insult? Rythem games are the shit. Hell Splatoon 2 has a pretty good one.

I could send uncensored hurtcore child porn to 100 people on discord right now and nothing would happen.

No nigga you don't understand it is spying on you. It opens up your computer programs and records them and closes them,

I had a screen cap of an user explaining it but I guess it didn't save, Hell ou can even google it but the links you will get will be from reddit tech and ponies for some reason

No one is stoping you aspies from posting a discord or ventrilo server on here. If people join they join. If not. Oh well.

Remember if you post a server openly anywhere then expect trolls.

I'm white and I will not have you addressing me this way.

Honestly when it came to Callie I always thought it was going to be her finding out what was wrong with the Octarians and feeling sympathy for them
I guess I'm just not the big into the whole mind control thing as a plot for Callie thing, but it is what it is

Still gotta get to rank 10 and smash my way into the S ranks

Why are so many of you filthy mongs unironically attracted to dark skin?

youtube.com/watch?v=pUC5bZ1V9bY

I like this track the best but my game won't arrive until next week.

Why do so many of your filthy mongs care?

Electronica music has no soul. It's a shame.

You haven no soul.

remember to grab some seanwiches. can you even buy his food with regular money or do you need coupons?

...

It's like there's a party in my ear and everyone's being raped violently.

Because they are dark skinned themselves?

...

I wanted to say it's coupons alone, but thanks for the reminder. I forgot I went through and grabbed a bunch of them from the single player. Think it's time to pay him a visit.

fuck off the games are retarded casual faggotry and you know it.

I like people like you, always a good laugh.

are you seriously legitimately actually literally laughing right now

But it's fun casual faggotry.

Are you a fan of Code Lyoko, user?

You best not be insulting Code lyoko, Code lyoko was a great show

God Damn it Nintendo, stop ruining good things.
On the plus side, the shit posting has gotten better and better

no it wasn't

i wish the chirpy chips/abxy shirt had the band members on it like the hightide era one. well, really i just want a shirt with the anemone on it.

wonder if experience boosts help you rank up faster in splat fests.

definitely the credits music, holy shit.
but i dont think thats a very interesting answer so ill say my favorite multiplayer song is endolphin surge. its fierce but upbeat, cute and the name is hilarious. much like the game itself. youtube.com/watch?v=ZXRm5loVeHc

you can use a micro sd card. its way better for screenshot dumps but not so much for individual images. i think if you have it plugged in then it automatically saves screenshots to it, but otherwise you can transfer one image at a time or do it in bulk from your switch system settings / data management.
of course, nothing beats just being able to use your compy to browse miiverse and save things youve yeah'd when youre just trying to share posts from that.

I unironically wish to impregnate this underage girl.

Why would you want to ironically impregnate an underage

so he has a shot at 2

Take that back you double nigger

Absolutely agree. The only thing I can think that was better personally was using the Wii U's browser to upload things easily. Has there been any word on a Switch internet browser?

playable octarian when?

the last of i heard on that, they dont want to make a yes or no statement. so it sounds like there are no plans for it.

Go back to highscool user.

peak performance

Pointless memes is not an argument user

The foreheads were a little much sometimes but the overall art style was well done

Now that was a bold face lie user, As you know the show starts off with Xana doing minor things and as it goes on they figure out that Xana is getting stronger everytime they go back in time, That Illeta was originally human and was Franz hopper's daughter and that somewhere in the digital sea is where he is hiding

Sage for off topic

It's actually pretty pathetic that they released it in this state, and this is coming someone who bought a switch soley for Splatoon

I though next-gen was all about how many K's you can cram in your TV?

Who the fuck actually buys and plugs in a console to browse either of those things? Don't you have some box given loaned by your cable provider, one of those android boxes you can buy dirt cheap or even in-built in your TV?
Who in their right mind would actually consider having or not having those apps an actual point to talk about when discussing consoles?

That'd be like talking about how many drying programs your PC has.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT COMES AFTER FRESH

Its all about comfyness. Posting things and watching shit on the wii u gamepad was pretty fucking comfy.

I mean I guess I could just get a tablet but whatever.

Back on topic, to someone who has actually made it to ranked. Is it more fun than casual?

Yes. There's also a definite difficulty spike, as by the time they reach Ranked, people generally have some idea what they're doing and have some good gear.

Rainmaker has some interesting changes from the first game - in particular how the Rainmaker's shot works. Previously it was like a slow Inkzooka, but now it works like a blaster on steroids: it shoots out a thin straight line (leaving an ink trail you can use, but no significant damage), but at the end of that trail there's a massive inksplosion, of about Sticky Bomb level.

I've developed the spiteful habit of shooting a charged rainmaker shot at my own feet when I know I'm about to die, which (because of the slight delay before the explosion) has killed the entire enemy team more than once.

I can imagine how that'd be, considering we kinda get that if you use the Switch in the Tablet Mode, but all I heard about the controller was how everyone hated the damn thing.
That it was too big, short on battery and confusing to switch between it and the main screen, while seeing little use most of the time.
I guess the "vocal minority" strikes again.

Also, I'm getting used to the controls. It's a thing that takes it's time for a newcomer, especially if you try to use the motion controls. I'm used to M&K, that I still prefer, and stick-aiming was always terrible for me, so motion controls is this weird thing that meets halfway from each.

It severely limits your mobility and spacial awareness until you get used to it, but afterwards it's the best.
Being flanked by someone with anything melee doesn't scare me anymore, I just swim away at the speed of light, turn around and pop a Max Charger on them. Or a point blank shot of that weird cannon thing you get early on.

Yeah, WiiU gamepad was pretty comfy for watching Twitch, Nico Nico Douga, Youtube, etc…
But I'm not really going to complain if those apps and/or a web browser aren't present on Switch.

The battery of WiiU gamepad was terrible (not initially really, but the battery life went from 3-4 hrs to 5min over the course of 3-4 years)
Size wasn't a big deal imo, and the plastic shell protruded out enough to protect the screen. I worry about the screen getting damaged on Switch…

You don't have to. It's mostly made of plastic so shocks and falls are not gonna break it as easily (it's one of the most common problems with kids, smart move by Nintendo).
For scratches, there are some sort of plastic layers you can put on top of them and easily replace for cheap that protect the screen.

I'll give that it was big, but the controller's buttons and thumbsticks were actually pretty easy to hold in your hands, it wasn't heavy at all, and honestly it was pretty durable (I've dropped it on cement flooring barracks multiple times and it still worked like a charm). Battery wise, I'd say it was middling, it certainly wasn't long lasting, but honestly I just kept mine plugged in. The cord I had was long enough to easily make it so I could play with Splatoon's motion controls easily. If they were talking about switching between it and the main screen when playing Splatoon, sure I'll give them that. But I honestly only looked at my map at 2 points while playing (and still tend to do so): 1. When I have been recently splatted. 2. When I spawn up to superjump. Little use for it, I can't say I completely disagree, but it placed the smaller details on there so you didn't have a cluttered HUD on quite a few games, and I'm alright with that. Like you said, vocal minority.

The motion controls are pretty fluid for me. I'm just kind of annoyed trying to figure out what works best for the default blaster. I can't tell if that mist item is actually doing anything nine times out of ten, It doesn't help I barely get 2 shots afterwards when I use it. Picking main stats is going to be rough too, loss of strength and then the nerfs across the blaster line is going to make it rough. It's still probably going to be my go to weapon, and hopefully things will look up once I figure out what mainstats to take with it. Ink saver main doesn't seem to be doing much, nor the ink recovery, but I'm also still wearing single slot gear, so I'm going to have to look into that.

...

Use sub saver or main saver to get more shots after toxic mist, that'll let you safely fire more while the enemy is slowed and steadily losing ink. You can also consider sub power and ink recovery up to throw toxic mist long distances and recover ink enough to bombard the area or line up the perfect clear shot.
I took the vanilla blaster on the range and direct hits on the targets still did 125, so line up clear shots on panicked opponents who are wasting ink trying to escape.

Just learn to aim direct shots with the blaster for OHK. If you still get 2 shots after mist, that's enough to splat half their team.
You can also fire it and submerge. The time you'll take to confirm you caught someone will let you charge up some ink and even move closer.

I'm almost finished with single player. I got a Lv 3 Hero Shooter, max tank, and all three bombs. I'm before Area 4's boss (just need to find that sunken scroll in the brella stage). Debating of and when I want to do a full weapons run for all weapons to unlock them. I'm at level 7 in multiplayer. I'm in no hurry.

In early 2018 when they add DJ Octavio to ARMS.

Thanks for the tips man. For some reason I've been getting a lot more consistent point blank shots as of late, I think it might be the way spawns are set up, especially on Inkblot, where I got squids as they tried landing onto the middle platform from their side. I think I may have to go with sub saver over the main. I ran two main saves and one ink recovery and one ink main save and two ink recovery and the difference for me was kind of negligible, but again, I still am only using one slot gear, so I'm going to probably get some levels in along with some higher ranks and check out what more slots will do.

I can back up the Switch is rather durable for what it is, I've been intentionally rough with the dock at some points and still haven't come across the issue of my screen being scratched by it. Thing's practically invincible once you get a screen-protector for it.

You know… I would be okay with this. I wonder what his three ARMS sets would be. Also Octavio leaving ink splots on the ground would be an interesting game mechanic.

Something I'm working on

I've only played 5 minutes of the first splatoon

???????????????????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????????????

No, but I did word that poorly. Tried fucking about with the dock and a naked screen and couldn't scratch it with normal docking/undocking. Actual system itself is rather durable despite the cheap-feeling plastic, probably trace amounts of nintendium in the hull, so once you've got a screen-protector on it you won't have to worry about its durability or anything unless you're explicitly trying to break it.

If you get a weapon up to 15 or higher, your rating becomes SUPERFRESH (yes, all-caps) and you start earning bonus XP at the end of Turf War matches as long as you can maintain it.

I’ve always liked this image. It’s obviously taken from a real photograph in Japan; it has a cozy feel to it. Note the Marlboro logo on the bottom right, though. Would it be Marlinboro in Splatoon? Who’s even old enough to smoke? It’s a world of perpetual lolis and shotas. Why would they even WANT to smoke?

No one who isn’t autistic cares about this.

SECONDARIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
looks nice user

To look fresh?

if this is you, kill yourself
it is literally worse than your primary weapon. in nearly all circumstances if you are running a kit with the stingray you are better off simply not activating your special at all.

Why did they even put it on a gatling splatter, and why did they put it on the first one you get? It's like they have me.

MARINARA IS A NIGERIAN!!!

...

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. The final boss fight up until the final phase definitely felt like he was ripped straight out of ARMS, especially with his dash attack that appeared near the end.

I wonder if the Splat2 boss was the inspiration for that whole game.

More like ARMS inspired the boss fight.

So, would DJ Octavio have a small enough combat suit (Mechanica's size) to compete? We gotta have those speakers and turntable deck.

Once I hit A-rank I'm going to troll with sting ray a few times to see how bad it is. As a weapon to kill things it's no good. But maybe in a coordinated team you can crowd control other players into a weapon that kills.

Jesus fuck the Aeryospray is good for Turf not ranked. Stop it

are faggots really idling in this game?

Correction: You get one-time XP bonuses in Turf War for increasing each weapon's Freshness rating to each tier (5 -> 10 -> 15).
If you're not playing Ranked, and just want to have fun unlocking sub-slots on gear, it might be fun to build up Freshness on lots of different weapons.

So how do you deal with being on the receiving end of several ass kickings? I feel like instead of getting good, I end up getting worse as I play more. It's really rage inducing.

Is it just their goal to make lopsided splatfests? It could have at least been ketchup v. mustard.

mayo is more popular in Europe and other continents than ketchup

That's disgusting.

i gotta imagine sting ray is alright for tower control. does it work with thermal ink?
i wonder how much they could buff it before it turns from an annoyance to the traumatizing return of the farsight.

i guess they just have some small bit of exp they want to earn, thats kind of horrible though.

my arms get tired after a while and if im not comfortable holding the controller up as i play im going to do a lot worse. the dog is a lot lighter than the wiiu tablet so its less of a problem but its still important to feel comfortable.
other than that, consider the map rotation and game mode and maybe switch up your loadout and dress your squid.

wouldnt that be just as lopsided?
i dont think ice cream vs cake would have been such a landside popularity wise if people didnt fall head over heels for a sexy octopus.
even then, it was a pretty close match

how so? its just used on a wider variety of things. its not like people are putting mayo on their fries.

You people disgust me.

Marina vs Callie
Black waifu or B L A C K E D waifu?

mayo is delicious but murricans have the most disgusting tasting mayo in the world thus why its usually so unpopular because regular mayo you get in America is awful

Ketchup is disgusting. Nothing but sugary shit. Only good for making fry sauce with mayo.

Apart from the UK. Mayo is not a big thing here. People prefer Salad Cream which is not the same.

Majority of UK will go Ketchup.

Patrician. The only acceptable use for ketchup.

burgers and hotdogs

I can understand burgers, but chili is the most patrician hot dog topping.

Finally, the fucking grind to unlock League Battles is done. Took long enough.

bleck

Fuck your quads. Mustard for burgers and chili sauce and cheese for hot dogs.

I think just having a reticle before you fire would be enough to make the Stingray useable. The fact that there's no crosshair before you fire bugs the shit out of me. Especially with how much precision you need to splatter someone. Now as a crowd control weapon for scaring squids off of a platform ala tower control I can see the application for that.

Chili, shredded cheese, thin stream of ketchup and mustard

too bad i dont have any hot dogs lying around, i just made some chili and ive never had a chili dog.

Am I wrong finding the original duo much cuter and with better songs?

A mustard grilled burger patty is superior to a ketchup drenched one, and chili is a better hot dog condiment (for that matter mayo on its own or with grilled peppers and onions would work for hotdogs too)

Also of note is a thick queso. I've learned to make a thick ultra spicy queso that goes amazing on anything. Fucking amazing for hotdogs. Even better when I make a hotdog with chili AND queso.

I cook chicken cooked in honey and chilli with a few egg fried noodles and it works well with a dash of mayo

Music was more catchy in first game. Even the shop music was better.

aren't most of the songs in 2 remixes of the originals?

Why does Marina's record scratch to switch between announced stages make me angry

Certainly the case with single-player. Muliti-player I'm not even certain as none of them seem to be sticking in my head like the first game.

...

give it time, I'm enjoying today's themes

Marina is a cunt for no real reason.
Callie's suffering makes my dick hard.

in singleplayer theres a few that are. but i wouldnt say most. in multiplayer, only the final minute song in splatfest to my knowledge.

The reason is shit 'translating'.

I managed to repeat it with the girl. Still have no clue what makes it happen but I've had the most luck at the final stretch of stage 2.

wait are the songs on a rotation too?

oh my

I was when I posted that.

This isn't even the right Mumble server info, and it's the ancient template to boot.

And that's because OP doesn't play with the 8ch crowd, and he should when we all have a Switch

Server info in pic related

You're implying too hard, I remember a month or two ago this general going balistic at the Switch, although it may have been related to someone being a faggot saying paid online is a-ok.

If you haven't noticed Marina is a DJ.

I wonder what Marima sounds like singing the ceremonial folk song.

Dood! That sounds super tasty. Recipe?

Hate having to start a new game replicating that bug where she snugs the zapfish. Them undies are hot.

>when we all have a Switch

I still can't afford a Wii U let alone a switch

Who else has x99 xp tickets from the infinitely respawning ticket in Octocanyon.

thats pretty much it, panfry the chicken with a spoon or two of honey and sprinkle on chopped chillies. a dash of diced garlic works too.
Then once the noodles are cooked in a boiling pot, throw them in a pan and break an egg over, and mix in. You can add the mayo into the egg noodles or mix it in after depending on how strong you want the mayo in the dish then serve with the spicy honeyed chicken.

There needs to be a "rotten" rating you can give things so they won't show up in your square again.

How well do you think that'll work with pork? We have pleanty of pork here because pig farms. Not so much chicken.

Embed related.

You had ample time to play it bitch. It released on a fuckin' friday.

Europe puts mayo on french fries, and fries originated in Belgium. The splatfest appears to be a contest of fry toppings.

Loyal Aerospray fags are almost always analog players. It has a giant forgiving spray-and-pray reticle and ridiculous fire rate so all they have to do is close the distance, not aim. As far as I can tell this game has no auto-aim like other console shooters, because they intended for you to use gyro instead. You'll never see analog retards using a splattershot pro or a charger or anything.

These days you don't specifically desire for a device to have a browser, youtube, etc. It's just expected to be there. The switch is a modern capacitive tablet that's lacking literally every single feature modern capacitive tablets are known for. It's running on existing tablet architecture. The software is some kind of modified Android. There's no reason for it NOT to have these features, except laziness, cost-cutting related to licensing, or trying to keep hackers from breaking your shit wide open (which isn't working). I bought one because I wanted to play Splatoon 2 enough, but it really would have sweetened the deal if I could press the home button and google something about the game or post a screenshot to Holla Forums, then switch back to the game without using a second device. Again, there's no reason not to have these things. Televisions and mp3 players have browsers and video streaming apps. Both of the switch's predecessors, console and handheld, have them. The fucking Wii and DSi line had them. It's a base-level functionality that is now EXPECTED to be present, and people are justifiably shocked when it isn't there after they've just dropped $300 on a brand new device that released in 2017.
RE: Switch vs Wii U comfiness, the Wii U tablet was great as a controller, being able to play on just the gamepad screen was great, and peoples' main complaint was that they couldn't take it further from the console. Switch solved that.

where is that

Not everyone has a mountain of neetshekels to spend on anything, you know. I've had to deal with a lot of medical shit that is really fucking overpriced as of late.

Nah, I got gainful employment. Crazy right?

wait, they didnt even restore /smek/!
not so sure about that one

Is there a good way to spoof amiibos yet?

pork might work better with juts garlic and butter

hey whats this animal at the cabin? i dont think marie ever explains what it is, maybe if you shoot it? but im not going to shoot whats potentially her pet. it also seems to be in some fan art and they arent using the wrist straps oh no

Looks like some oversized tooth to me.

Except for Rainmaker. Aerospray is fantastic in that mode, especially if combined with the Object Shredder and Sub-Weapon Boost abilities (remember, it comes with Sticky Bombs.)

Not to mention the curling bomb rush, which is not only an easy way to win shield face-off but also to clear a path in front of the rainmaker.

The Hamster ball special is more suited for helping out carrying the rainmaker.

I just thought of this.
Can you jetpack while carrying the rainmaker? Can you score it while jetting or does it force you to land back in the spot you came from?

By the second part, I mean does the rainmaker's progress meter decrease if it's being carried in the air, or only on ground? And similarly, can it be scored if you hover over the score point?

You can't use specials while carrying the rainmaker.

No since if you use your special gets taken away if you pick up the rainmaker

Your probably best chance is cover fire when using the Ink Jet

I know Inklings are carnivores. I wonder if they adapted an omnivorous diet thanks to fire and cooking. I know there's Sean's monstrosities. But I wonder what other meals they have. And seeing all non-marine mammals went extinct what their meats on land would be.

From their obsession with freshness, I think it's pretty obvious. They cull the un-cool for consumption. Barring splatfest stuff like ice cream vs cake or hot dogs vs burgers, all the in-universe stuff is seafood. They're cannibals and they eat the turf war losers and the squids with bad fashion sense. Maybe Octarians and Salmon too, except I don't see anyone but Mr Grizz interested in salmon, and he only wants the eggs.

What about crabby cakes and octo pies?

what kinda shit do you get from salmon run and can you get the same stuff fromlocal mode?

Keep in mind that grabbing the Rainmaker will take away your special and your ability to use your subweapon.

For this reason, if I happen to have a special ready to go or enough ink to use a subweapon, I usually fire it off before getting the rainmaker just in case. It's already paid off multiple times. There's often a sneaky Ninja Roller hiding in the ink nearby waiting to oneshot whoever picks up the rainmaker, and they're never expecting you to Splashdown first.

Otherwise, if you've got a special ready to go that might come in handy as support, it's a good idea to let someone else grab the Rainmaker and you back them up. Ink Jet is really good for this, and so is Curling Bomb Rush.

I can't imagine the hamster ball being very much help, unless you mean to stay in front of the Rainmaker and block enemy fire? Come to think of it, if you did this AND started charging the explosion as soon as your Rainmaker carrier died, you could really ruin the enemy team's day.

Come to think of it, does Ink Armor affect the Rainmaker carrier, or are they immune to it like they were with the Bubbler?

That's just your undershirt, it happens when your suit breaks from damage, after awhile the damage goes away and the hero suit returns

Ability chunks, money, and unique gear, I don't know if you get rewarded from local playthough

until i just looked it up i always thought the hi jump enemy in kirby was a tooth, but apparently hes a star

theres birds all over the place. not even just seagulls and other 'water' birds. theres like sparrows or something small brown and round in the square
mr grizz might be a bear, or it could just be a persona. or is he spirit trapped in that bear carving?
he seems like the kind of greedy asshole that would get cursed by a salmon priest and turned into wood, and only through learning generosity can he be freed, but he seeks to undo the curse by gathering golden eggs.
maybe the woman handing out the payment is the priest that cursed him, and her spooky laughter is her amusement of him having learned nothing, coming no closer to undoing his curse.

im sure, theres plenty of fruity drinks at seans cart and plenty of splatfests imply a varied diet.

The glitch is that everything goes away, including the shoes and headgear, instead of just the jacket. The hero suit undershirt that normally appears also has a slightly different design.

They aren't even hiding anymore that they do this on purpose.

I can almost guarantee they left on purpose. Nintendo is a bunch of sick fucks.

Oh and can't forget about this.

So do I, but my fucking paycheck hasn't come yet and I've already spent thousands of dollars trying to fix my stupid fucking medical issues.

why is a permanent cameltoe stitched into those pants

I JUST FUCKING NOTICED THAT HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's like they let an autistic 16 year old who was given a vague description of the characters rewrite all the dialogue

Go on.

Well I'm pretty sure birds survived the flood. And at market hard eggs can be seagull eggs instead of chicken eggs. (Catsup is great with omlette chicken and rice btw.) And if Inklings are based on flying squids then they can jet high enough to grab a few birds for dinner. And I'm sure by now there's domesticated cephalopod species for farming and beasts of burden. Hell I'd love to see a mutant sea horse with legs run on land mounted by an inkling samurai weilding a brush as long as a pike.

Also marine mammals like whales and dolphins could make an excellent source of meat, bone, and oil.

As for Grizz's curse. It's interesting. However salmonids drop power eggs, which can be used for fueling electric equipment. If you're going to stop evolution of vertibrae species then why not make a profit selling portable batteries?

Something fucked up with my left eye causing me to have fucking SKULL CRACKING headaches. Like, shit so fucking painful it makes me cry like a bitch. My doctors have ruled out tumors and fluid build up, so it's either a migraine or my retina got fucked or something.

Oh, and I forgot to mention they're charging out the ass for medication that's supposed to help. Just a few doctor visits wouldn't make me lose my entire fucking life's savings.

...

...

God bless america?

You wearing glasses?

thinking of selling my wii u homebrew and hdd to fund my switch. played all their is to play on there. how much ya think i could get?

I honestly think its on purpose, I noticed this on the splatoon 2 game page on their website

She's Jewish

I mean, Nintendo is a Japanese company. Why are any of you surprised? Those nips fuck people no matter what their age is.

I've seen Wii U's with several games for $150 on my local CR. Just get a fuckin credit card and put it on there like a good goy because when you have fuck-all to play on the switch you're gonna regret selling your old stuff.

Right now, not much.

Well technically it's not pedophilia if you fug a squidgirl, it's bestiality.

there are inklings based on all kinds of different squids. such as the squid sisters being firefly squids, and supposedly pearl is a pygmy squid.
but do you see how high they super jump? if our squid kids arent the flying squids, then the actual flying squid inklings must literally fly around.

i get some pretty serious headaches quite often myself. do you have a friend that could score you some grass? might want to give that a shot before those shitty doctors milk your bank dry.
that is of course, if your job or state would let you get away with something like that.

i probably cant be of much help but some stuff to consider. how long has this been going on? has it started with the season? some of my headaches are brought about by sinus pressure and allergies, or weather patterns, so theyre especially numerous these days as the weathers been crazy which i guess turns the trees on too.
sometimes i get a bad headache from my left eye too, when i do get pain in my eye it feels like its from behind it, i feel like its some kind of muscle tension. stress can be a factor in stuff like this.

glasses definitely worsen most headaches if i have one. theres been plenty of occasions i have to stop squidding around if im not feeling thirsty for pain that day.

i couldnt sell my wiiu unless i got over my crippling fear of dropping the switch. not much can beat taking the tablet with me to take a shit and play mario maker losing track of the time and getting a big red ring around my ass.

heres a higher resolution to really revel in the glory. this is the life.

second post because file size

Was just wondering cause that fixed my migraines.

It's not a glitch, its the graphic that displays when you take damage and youre about to die, it probably happened on that rail level with the two snipers at the end

I wouldn't advice on selling your wiiu unless you only used it for splatoon cause I'm betting that you'll be paying out the ass if you'll regret it after 5+ years.

how so? did getting glasses fix them? i can see that being the case if it causes you to strain less to see what you gotta see. also anons, make sure they fit comfortably, that they dont squeeze too tight. just that little bit of discomfort can cause a smaller headache to really balloon up fast.

Talk about retarded.

My one eye is a lot worse than the other, seeing with both problem was no but doc said that was probably the cause for my migraines.

I wear glasses and when I'm not wearing them and I try to focus on stuff I get headaches.

I don't get any overtly sexual vibes from this

its not, i just have an obsession

The jacket is supposed to come off but not the shoes and headset

Japanese age of consent is indeed quite low (14 I think?) but that's not really why.

For nips, their characters don't have age as a defining characteristic. It's not really a thing at all except in incredibly broad terms like "old" and "young", where it actually helps to define a character's personality more than just "32 years old".
Most games and characters done by them follow this mantra and they are just characters, there's never any need for age since they are ficitional and nips understand this very well.

To them, it's fucking weird the obsession that the west has for the age of characters they play or see in their media.
There's no particular good reason to worry or care about that detail for them unless you're worried about fapping to a certain character, but at that point you're looking for smut, not likeable interesting characters.

...

I guess I should ask in this thread:

Any idea where I can get nude Inklings model for SFM OC making? Props if someone can point me to some Marina/Pearl goodies.

...

Breaking out of overachiever is suffering.

ooh! guess whos confirmed a loli? look who that is on the right

History sees the kicking of Octavios ass by Agent 3 while the Squid Sisters song played as a massive super cool concert?

the octarians see it that way. no one else was there to say otherwise. remember they were under musical mind control, they probably think everything theyre doing is part of a bitchin concert.

It all makes sense

I honestly thought it was just some sort of big concert they threw to bury the hatchet, it didn't even occur to me that they'd use a concert as a cover the loss of the Great Zapfish. These truly are trying times.

context?

So why's the illuminati trying to cover up the secret squid-octo wars? Would they want the inklings to drive the octos into the sea for good or are inklings dependent on some Octarian resource?

Squid version of Alex Jones when?

oh also marie mentions how agent 3 kind of smells i interpret this as meaning shes a sweaty tomboy. perhaps too busy with fierce ranked battles to really 'stay fresh' all the time i just love a loli who could kill me in a heartbeat

nintendoeverything.com/splatoon-staff-talk-about-the-inkling-design-more-on-the-squid-sisters-and-other-topics/
so many things went right that didnt have to.
from cartoon rabbits ultimately being replaced with squid lolis to little coincidences that get us invested in the lore.
i also read somewhere that the spooky noises that play after a boss is defeated was snuck in because the head honchos didnt have time to micromanage everything and a lot of different projects were given out kind of hastily including the final battle. the stars really aligned for it to turn out this way.

I interpreted that as Octarians using music as a means to coordinate rather than them being mind controlled.

...

like conspiracies do ya?
well, splatfest topics are said to be ancient transmissions from around our time that eventually made their way back to earth. but isnt the timing on the callie vs marie splatfest a bit crazy?

if anyone knows whats going on, its judd. its implied that hes like thousands of years old, judging victors throughout inkling history which of course shapes their society. he also has a spaded tail like a devil. in his case i dont see that devil tail as infernal antagonist, rather a manipulator.
well, whatever hes been doing to manipulate them that long seems to have worked out okay for the most part. perhaps the nature of him being a cat works out for the best as he might not be loyal to any shadow governments.

well, octarians have kind of a borg thing going on. especially the octolings in the first game.
borg mind control has been loosely described as drowning out your own will with noise and losing your own thoughts in it.

then again, cats did lose one of the first splatfests, only for a rematch to happen.
then again again, his 'devil' motif stands in opposition to god/paper. the splatfest decider.

I'd say it's not 100% clear cut either way, but I prefer the coordination idea. Mind control kind of ruins the whole "morally grey war for resources" thing.

I've been saving these as I play, but they take a bit to edit because they're at an angle, and then you have to brush the corners to make it look right. If they look good ill keep doing all the ones I have right now.

That palpatine one is gold user

long barreled version when

On that note, why does it feel like half the new weapons are complete shit?

Thought I was alone on that one. I'll miss the close-range panic seeker kills though.

Found a version with subtitles.

To bad there isn't a QT Octarian who wrote the first sunken scrolls paleologist studying the ancient ruins and tech of Inkopolis. Then again I wonder how much history has been washed away willingly by the shadow govetnments.

I say it's a combination of both: hypnotic beats combined with the power of suggestion. The Octarians want their better lives on the surface back and Octavio is suggesting the means to do it (which is kidnap the great Zapfish). I think at some point they wanted to travel into space. However they need the power of the great Zapfish to do so. Why? Because Octarians know no other source of energy nor the means of converting power. Pretty sure shale and coal is gone. So only tech that relies on dc power works.

Grizzco is interesting. I think Grizzco is a useful idiot funded by the shadow government to keep the recently evolving Salmonids and their technology from reaching the surface. Salmonids are referred to as mutants. Well evolution is the results of millions of years of mutations. Seeing as cephlapods are top predator right now shadow gov't could want to prevent sentient vertibrae species reaching land.

As for tech, Salmonids have power eggs same quality as zapfish. Either Salmonids produce electric egg sacks or they harvest them. They could use these to power their tech but there's another detail. If you look at the Stinger when you knock all the pots off you can see the flame he lands on. So Salmonids have both electricity and the know how to process flammable gas into fuel. If the Octarians get ahold of combustion tech then that could reduce their dependence on zapfish eggs. HOWEVER right now the economy is dependent on zapfish eggs. So if the enemy finds another superior fuel source it may give them new weapons to push Inklings back into the sea.

Reminder that the tentacle octarians are just the severed tentacles of "real" octos given sentience by a mad and advanced science, only to be controlled by the last octo, still bitter and holding a grudge at a war long over that no one can even remember.

Summary of Little Things:

>Freshness: Only applies to Turf War, weapons have individual ratings that don't get wiped by map rotations, you get bonus XP when you reach rating 5, 10 and 15
>Duplicates: If you somehow end up with two of the same Gear item, the game will force you to give one up in exchange for cash or Ability Chunks (depending on what the abilities are)
>Disconnecting: If the lobby clock's gonna run out before enough people join, press HOME, wait, then go back for a penalty-free kick back to the lobby menu.
>amiibo: Unlockables seem to depend on your highest Freshness rank; Dry = Head gear, Raw = Body gear, Fresh = Leg gear, SUPERFRESH = Squid Beats 2 music
>SplatNet: You can 'order' random Gear from Annie in one of the sub-menus, and buy it from Murch in-game; this is the easiest way to get duplicates

I think the secret scrolls show the Salmonids are foreshadowed to be a creature starting the end times.Since Inklings and Octarians aren't able to swim in regular water anymore, Salmonids have multiplied to the point that these cullings need to be carried out otherwise they would cover their land with their numbers and conquer everyone Octo and Inkling alike with their frightening warlike ways and leave nothing behind. I think the cullings are meant to be a necessary evil, maybe they do have a harvest-able power source with Grizz getting his share as his meal source and whoever is behind the turf wars that keep the kids in peak fighting shape and the hardcore capitalism mindset so they stay locked into their matches getting the lion's share.

I don't think I have any more that are that good right now, but here's some more drawings I took notice of.

So third game would you want to see Octavio and the cap'n team up with their elite teams to take on the Salmonid Emperor?

I'd buy that in a heartbeat tbh

...

I haven't gotten nintendrew in my lobby yet, but that's a good one. Can you get a picture of it from the full menu? The one you can see in the speech bubbles are a bit opaque.

Octolings are called "takozonesu" in Japanese. Tako meaning octopus combined with Amazon. Think it's possible male octolings can be named "takoclese" after Herculese or Heraclese?

each of their domes you invade is powered by a single standard zap fish, which nobody ever claims the octarians have stolen. there are gigantic tv screens with pictures of skies all over the walls and ceilings of the octo caves, with lightbulbs as bright as the sun to emulate being outside. this is hardly a sign of people struggling to meet electrical demands. so they dont seem to be having trouble on that end. considering that, im sure that even octavios ridiculous flying battle studio doesnt require the full output of the relatively humongous great zap fish. and when the great zapfish goes missing? in both games nobody really sees it as super urgent, and things run smoothly in the meantime until you get it back.
i think the great zapfish is just a dick waving trophy. and thats just from the first game. octarian technology is really incredible and alien, if they do 'need' a great zapfish its for something ridiculous and not day to day life or a floating musical punch robot.

serious fucking spoilers now, i know theres at least that one user who would rather not be spoiled.
grizzco deals in power eggs in some unrevealed capacity. he may stand to profit from the notion that power is scarce. that it asks you if you seriously want to work for that sleazeball seriously disturbs me. maybe something will happen and people will think back to hitting 'yes' while feeling really terrible. after all, that final splatfest seemed pretty innocent at the time to most people. im lead to believe something crazy will happen involving salmonids. perhaps thats what captain cuttlefish and agent

ah right, i couldnt attach images because of the embed.

I think Mr. Grizz is just eating those eggs.

For that video, he says in the comments that it only works with the stuff taken off of social media. I'm ripping it directly from the game with a screenshot feature on my capture card. I'll try to figure out my own solution to sharpen the image up a bit, but thanks.

That would be pretty awesome. Would make for some pretty interesting level design if we go with the kitchen theme (considering all the salmonid pots and pans), might even mean an interesting final boss to top it off

Ok so real quick, which version of these two looks better, the sharpened or unsharpened.

Sharpened.

Also, I just found out that Aniie's Cooler Heads still exists in Splatoon 2 as a psuedo-online shop used with Splatnet 2.

That's actually a nice touch.

shrimpened

Some of this stuff with the Salmonids and Cuttlefish sounds almost like forshadowing of some big salmon run event on par with splatfest. But I know Nintendo better than to ever believe that.
The interesting thing about power eggs though is that the seem to play an important role in the creation and upgrading of ink based weaonry, think of single player, or the fact that the invention-heavy octos leave them lying about. Come with me to crazytown a moment, what if Grizzco is just a shell run by Mr. Grizz, who actually runs the weapons oversight committee? There was nothing wrong with the old special weapons, hell, you could ride an inkstrike missile like a go kart. So why have the need to suddenly need to make many, many brand new and very powerful weaponry?
To increase demand for power and golden eggs. What if Mr. Grizz has noticed the seven circles fortelling the Salmonid migration? How could he possible motivate the materialistic inkling society to fight? Disguise it as paying jobs at sutes ready-made to attract Salmonids, all to gather resources for their beloved turf wars.

could definitely be that hes not a real player in this, but salmonids have to be part of something bigger. even if the sunken scrolls werent screaming in my face we do know the eggs are involved in augmenting technology, and that octarians drop them. this suggests they are involved with eachother at the very least. who will stab the other in the back first?

the art looks better sharpened in my opinion, but i noticed the text in the sharpened palpatine one has a glow to it and appears thicker making it slightly harder to read.

Damn. I really need to play single player then. All this new lore is great.
Its just the other modes are huge fun as well. I like the changes to rainmaker, and salmon run is pretty fun as long as your teammates aren't retarded. The only problem I have right now is the maps are a little big, and people can be really fucking stupid in rank cause not everyone knows how the fuck it works apparently, or they try to get a lead and lame it out for the whole game.

thats a pretty down to earth interpretation.

How the fuck do you even draw the first one?

i imagine its a lot easier than it used to be to do that kind of thing using the d-pad rather than a stylus.
in the first game i remember someone saying that they would draw it in paint, then translate it over pixel by painstaking pixel.

So does that mean that all the female Octolings are just inklings infected with brain tentacles from the Octo?

...

Alright ill sharpen the rest of them in a sec, then.

I sharpened only the image on this one, left the text. Does this look good?

I didnt draw them personally, these are from people in game. I'm just editing them for imageboard consumption. As far as how people draw this shit, has pretty much got it right from what I understand. Not worth my time personally, but I can appreciate the people who do.

They are not drawing it, there's an exploit to print to it. I miss the days of drawn ones.
youtube.com/watch?v=GLdGdsz_mDk

No because in the first game they are Octarians who are highly evolved with the most powerful brains and senses. Very few are born as Octolings I think. Which is why you don't see too many outside of heavily guarded arenas. Going with the tentacle = brain theory Octolings have eight tentacles which is more than enough to operate a humanoid form.

Still don't underestimate the simpler units. Octarians with one tentacle brain operating a gun is quite impressive. I wonder how much knowledge an Octatian with two or three tentacle brains can manage.

Alright here they all are sharpened. I'll keep this in mind from now on.

I think the Octolings and Octavio are the only real, born octos, all else either comes from the Octolings or, in the case of the tentacles driving the Octoweapons, from Octavio

god damn that's some nice dfc

Yeah the japs went full autism with their drawings in splatoon 1 and we got to reap the benefits.

its kind of jarring but ultimately better than the "bold" text. so strange, i thought sharpening was meant to remove blurring, not amplify it.

it must have something to do with the white text, just right seems to have it while none of the others do.

how could i not have a soft spot for genius lolis?

I left it in that one because it wasn't too bad, but yeah I don't kno what's up with that either.

Also genius lolis are best lolis.

They can't be that smart if they let Octavio hypnotise them all the time.

Fuck my life I can't escape this flag.

I'm starting to wonder if my matchmaking rank for turf wars is too high. It takes me 5 minutes to get a full group sometimes.

WHEN IS SPLAT ZONES

How many Octolings know about Inkopolis's paradise after they are born? How much of that information was given to them by whom? Parents? School teachers? Public records? Octopia's information network? His grace himself in political speeches?

Lots of information sources, but all controlled by their government. Besides one who knows nothing understands nothing. And really the only way an Octoling can learn more about Inkopolis is to travel there herself. That's what Marina did.

Forgot to mention. Hypnotized or not Octolings are living in ignorance despite them being the most privileged and educated citizens in Octopia (not the canon name, but my name for now).

Do they even know Octavio is the one pulling the strings? In the first game, a sunken scroll showed their supposed leader, who was just a tentacle.
Makes me wonder if all these tentacles fought for their rights or if it's the propaganda department saying, "Oh yeah, these giant tentacles are the average octarian, totally natural"

Probably, probably not. Either way the only ones who know are those high enough in command Octavio can trust.

WHY DID THEY MAKE RANKINGS SEPARATE FOR DIFFERENT GAME MODES

Until you hit B- it's pure luck whether you advance. You just have to hope that your teammates will actually know what the objectives are, fuck. If I get matched with a Kindergartener who takes the Rainmaker the wrong way ONE MORE TIME I think I'll break my controller in half. Or, well, the controller handle. Whatever.

The miiverse autism is alive and well.
I can't be bothered to crop these.

...

...

Am I the only one having more fun doing Salmon Run than serious matches?

Salmon Run is a lot more fun than I was expecting, but the whole point of taking a part-time job is so you can dress up and look fresh in battle.

...

I'm stuck at pay grade 170 and I'm no longer having fun. My teammates don't seem to know how to kill bosses fast like tossing a bomb at Maws or aiming for the top of the pot-stack guy with the slosher. Or we get blindsided with a boss some of them have never seen before and don't know how to handle, like the Griller or the golden jesus fish/firefly bullshit. Last one at 175 I was the last guy standing, literally surrounded with nowhere to go by two steel eels, with a bunch of those tiny fuckers biting my ankles. I barely survived the countdown and actually got splatted after it said victory.

That statue is a very accurate representation of salmon run with children as your other players

...

Adjust it in Octo Canyon. That's what I had to do to get it to the sensitivity I want.

I made a art

why is he a vampire?

Looking at it after I've posted it. I realize it's shit.

It's a squid kid ear.

honestly why the fuck do they resize it with interpolation, especially when it's 400%?

No interpolation needed, all it does is fuck the image up.

from what i hear the same problems that splatoon 1 had are the exact same problems in spla2oon. it was easy to forgive in the first game but its harder to forgive when they repeat them so they really did not learn from their mistakes

And what problems are those? You're not gonna convince anyone of shit without specifying.

Only problem I have in both games is the lack of ability to edit loadout in a lobby.

To be fair, what problems has Spla2n fixed?

Admittedly I haven't played it for very long but I don't see any noticeable changes to the base gameplay.

I would say the overall map design is way tighter and the specials are much better balanced

not being about to change anything in lobby is a pretty big one, only being able to play certain game modes at certain times instead of when ever you want, needing 4 players for a premade instead of 3 premade 1 pub or 2 premade 2 pub.

I didn't think the first had many problems at all. There wasn't much to fix. The new maps feel better conceived with side routes and openness. The dualies are great. The new specials are all good except the stingray which is shit, and I don't really miss the old ones.

...

I don't know which issues the poster was on about but one of the big issues I'm starting to see is bomb spam in higher ranks. The disparity in the subs and specials is terrible. Pick whatever weapon can allow you to spam bombs all the time the fastest. I played an hour of tower control and it was nothing but bomb spam, got fed up with it.

I think I'm just going to fucking stop playing ranked mode until I hit 30 and can pick all the weapons. This is getting silly.

Guys. I did it somehow.

Anyone know what the regular main for the Shirt & Tie is? I'm thinking of grabbing this one.
Why did they make ink resistance on different clothes?

Is it possible to do a yoshikage kira set?

When I played splat zones on port mackerel, all anyone did was throw curling bombs into the zone from a distance, and then of course people had the special where they can spam curlers. On that map specifically, the zone is between four boxes and two sponges so they have like 12 surfaces to bounce off and guarantee they don't pass through the zone and explode on the other side. I just devoted myself to killing the other players with Splattershot Pro so they didn't have time to toss bombs. Seemed to work.

They probably nerfed ink resistance to compensate for the fact you can stack it now, but I'm waiting for someone more autistic than myself to test it.

I don't have dress shoes, but yeah you can pretty much. You can even make exploding bubbles with the unreleased special. Nintendo are truly the best at Jojokes.

You look like an absolute fucktard.

You aren't wrong. Look at the post I was replying to.

Anyone wanna be friends?

Finished single player. I'll play single player later when I'm in the mood to get hero weapons.

Anyway, question before bed time. Which Squid Sister will grow into best ara ara?

What did you get for completing it?

Full set of Hero Suit.

Marie

The game modes were Inkling training to fight a stronger war against the Salmonid's, who want to take over the land via coastal invasions. Because the Inklings can't live in water (unlike Salmonid's) this forces them to fight back.

Jesus, I mean I knew Japan fucking loved Splatoon, but holy shit.

Wait does this include the boxes thtey were selling also

Not quite. That's the suit's normal "damaged" appearance. If the glitch happened, she would be missing her shoes and headset, and would have a plain black top instead of the hero suit undershirt.

they just wanna groove out while they nerd out. theyre definitely driven by music. octavios hypnosis music could even be the rick roll of their culture.
in one dialogue between pearl and marina, pearl teases marina for being a hardware geek, so electronics, machinery and music might just be in their blood.

i love them as they are and i dont want them to grow up too fast. that they even acknowledge the passage of time kind of frightens me but they dont really seem older.
listen to the question youre asking, its the squid sisters. that means if theyre gonna ara some shotas, theyd do it best as a pair.

heres something to consider if you just want ss:
in splatoon 1 the final battle has your squid orange, on the cover orange is the girl, blue is the boy. in a sunken scrolls page it shows the battle between agent 3 and octavio where agent 3 has orange loli hair. so perhaps the girl from the cover is agent 3.

in splatoon 2 the final battle has your squid green. pink is the girl, green is the boy. although its possible that this is just to match up with marie, we could make a flimsy case that agent 4 is canonically a boy.
if you talk to marie enough in a short period of time shell begin operation awkward silence, but you can then read her thoughts. she may call agent 4 adorable after helping get callie back, theres a high possibility marie has developed a bond with agent 4. also. ss fits in to the theme of nautical puns
speaking of ara..

i remember in the first game i was changing my squids clothes one time and it took a few seconds to load, while waiting she was wearing nothing but spats and a short black shirt. the same one worn under the octo armor but with more tummy exposed because there was no belt.
maybe the glitch is a similar hiccup.

...

put this in op for MAX SHITPOSTING
github.com/shinyquagsire23/Switch-Fightstick

How come every time I swap weapons I get put on a team where that weapon is a hindrance?

those aren't good either, the shoes aren't the only problem

maybe it's you being bad

what about me being bad picks what weapons my teammates have, anyway?

then switch to splattershot
tell me what happens

1 splattershot, 2 dualies, won by a landslide

did you win, stick to it you fucking dip

ink armor is hands down the best utility special because it protects you and it pops pretty damn quick

run yourself out of ink filling your meter, pop ink armor, and just keep fucking going

Nintendo confirmed to be aware of muh feminism.

What does it mean?

i thought splatdown is a good meme but it doesn't give you iframes so you're stuck there in mid-air inking 0 area and you're fucking dead. the inkjet meme is better but the ink armor meme is no bubbler but it makes your whole team able to not fucking die and doesn't cost a leg if you spam it

speaking of memes i hit rank b-, what a meme game

are you okay

yes i am ok, but let me go a bit more in depth of the meme weapons

shit meme

it really depends on the game mode. i think splashdown will shine on tower control, remember you can use it from a super jump.

But… Does that mean you have to make a new character after beating single player?

...

It's more like

Damn… This was the only level I completed without armor too. I'll have to try again on another profile.

All idols grow up eventually. At least the squid sisters are branching out into other entertainment opportunities according to sunken scrolls. The ara question was more for which squid sister would mature into the sexiest ara. Seems Marie might win this one. Callie is the type who stays /fit/.

I want a new mode called Splatball. But we got thhat in Metroid Fucking Farce Force.

Xeno here, just got the game and moving through ranks. I can't enter mumble but I can play with you squiggas. Add me 0591.9696.8205

Maybe it looks like you die, but then you just respawn instead? or it turns out to be a day dream?

Would like to see an attempt at making a ranked version of Turf War. One idea I had was to make it a cross with Splat Zones but have like 50 small square zones around the map that need to be controlled.

In the Euro Splatfest for New Year resoultion 2016: Get Fit vs Get Rich, Callie was Get Fit, so it works in universe.

we chose the right timeline boys

You are both stupid and cynical, interesting. If you played this shit seriously you'd realize you're wrong. But you probably tried a couple games in each ranked more, got stomped, and stormed off angry at your own incompetence looking for something else to blame.

how would i go about expressing my distaste for how they severely altered the characters of marina and pearl? what channels of communication does noa consider feedback from?

...

it might ease my heart a bit if im able to say that i did what my american duty and threw my voice out there, even if its turned down.

It's more like inklings have a "ghost" made out of ink mist that carries them to the nearest spawning pool. If an inkling's ghost can't make it back and it rains then who's to say what happens next?

I always imagined Marie being slightly more chub than Callie. I'd eat sushie off of Callie's belly.

You can't. NoA is a social justice echochamber. The only company you can write to is Nintendo of Japan and they only glance at them if written domestically. So we're fucked on (((localisation))) either way unless Nintendo of Japan's shareholders vote to burn Treehouse (which will never happen).

i dont mind if its a social justice echo chamber. is it a closed echo chamber? i wouldnt be talking politics with them, just that it saddens me to see what theyve done with what were potentially very fun characters.

It is.

...

I'd be perfectly alright with seeing this.

Not quite riding the bomb, but hey, a big boss fight with someone other than DJ Octavio would be nice

what if emperor salmato was a mermaid?

>"Ara Ara, you think you face me, Empress Salmonid, I will use you squids for my caviar ~

Why you do this?

what if you had to squid into her cleavage to dodge some attacks

...

That's cute and all. But I don't have any confidence that treehouse won't meme her into some obese nigress whale.

Anyone know what the regular main for the Shirt & Tie is?
Special Saver.

Post animations

Poor squid can't catch a break.

What would you niggers think if Nintendo released a spinoff RPG splatoon series that delves into the lore with plenty of appearances from best squid Callie

I'm getting error code 2306-0112. Might be the servers are down for maintenance. And I made it to level 10 too. Shit!

I think Nintendo is going to make a new IP for that instead. Most of Splatoon's extra world building was done through tumblr shitposting. Besides the last thing we need Splatoon to turn into is Mass Effect Andromeda. That's Star Fox's fate.

aw I was thinking of some paper-mario esqe or mario rpg kinda thing

If you want world building an anime or manga will be more appropriate than an RPG. Or maybe more single player stages offline via downloadable episodes.

Splatoon is a skill-based movement arena shooter. I don't think it's going to translate well into a traditional JRPG, even with Paper Mario mechanics. Unless you want Borderlands or Mass Effect. An XCOM clone would be more appropriate. And we got Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for that.

I would play it. Think about it. Valkyria Chronicles with splat mechanics.
It would be pretty cool.

Splatoon can ride solely on characters and its world, without you having to staple it down to shit suggestions for inspirations

Just saying XCOM would be a more appropriate template than Paper Mario. And Nintendo has Mario + Rabbids as their XCOM clone. It'd be unrealistic to think Nintendo is making a Splatoon RPG right now.

It could use more modes tho, like a 4vs4 salmon run, defend eggs from neverending slamons, just plain old last man standing deathmatch, team deathmatch, have splatzones but spread out with 2 adding 1 point and the others worth 2 points, ect ect

Oh we're on Page 13 guess I'll make the new thread

Whose ever making these threads sucks ass at linking it to the previous thread

NEW THREAD

Since OP can't be bothered to link the new thread in the old thread

Wew, the music for 2 is a huge stepdown which is a shame because the first games soundtrack was amazing, although I remember not being fond of the new music htey added, only liked 1 song. Some of it's remixed but most of it's original.

Also agree 100%, squid sisters were better, and had a better catch phrase.
