Got any dank squid memes post it in the thread whenever you can

Remember to post in-game screenshots directly for best quality;

Switch Version(Posted from an user previous thread)
As far as I know there are 3 options.

A micro SD card can be inserted into a slot under the Switch's stand. You can transfer screenshots to and from the card either one at a time or en masse from Data Management in the system settings. Any screenshots taken while the card is in seem to get saved to the card. Be advised that inserting the card requires a restart.

The other options involve social media, how dreadful. If I were to recommend one over the other, well, I've tried to make a twitter account to make squidverse posts and while making the account itself was no problem i then had to claim a username, while i was doing that it decided I was acting like a spam bot and demanded my phone number. Beware of that.

OCTOLINGS ARE WITH OUT A DOUBT SUPERIOR

...

...

...

...

So if Inklings use gold coins as a currency then does Inkopolis not have a central banking system?

so what happens on july 23 2019?

Heads up for these swim speed up aviators. The regular main is last-ditch effort which isn't quite as viable.


Probably when we get the Pearl/Marina amiibos and splatfest.

i dont want more waifu wars

I never joined Callie vs. Marie. How bad was that splatfest? Were friendships severed?

The fight was so rough that Callie left and became a "Movie" star

Holy shit.

she had a bad time

If it was so bad why does she keep going back for more?

who knows, probably. having a favorite is okay but you dont pit them against each other.

Marina is actually even cuter at goblin size. Just sayin'.

true

And Pearl being ara balances out her fivehead.

one of these things is not like the other

I finally did it! I got my third S+!
And using my Hero Brella too, just the way I wanted it

...

Found some good advice for Salmon Run

1) Fly Fish can be destroyed by shooting into their open missile launchers, with the InkJet special or those ground cannons you go into during some rounds. You can also use the Sting Ray special to kill Fly Fish.

2) The higher (and brighter) the gusher is, the closer you are to finding the goldie! The rounds where you have to find the goldie hidden in gushers are kind of like games of "hot and cold", where the "hotter" you are, the closer you are to finding where the gusher the goldie is hidden, the "colder" you are then the further away you are from finding the goldie. Thing is you can't tell how hot or cold a gusher is until you open it, and the more you open the more enemies you'll be flooded with.

3) Shoot the Mother Ship with the Sting Ray special to knock gold eggs out of it's grey crates, plus you damage it early! I'd imagine if there's another way you can hit the grey crates on top of the Mother Ship, you could probably knock gold eggs out of there that way too.

4) Kill a drizzler in one hit by shooting it's missile back at it. You gotta line it up right to make it work, with the missile directly between you & the drizzler.

5) The Sting Ray can kill any boss despite any armor it might have.

6) Kill Stinger's asap, even if you can't pick up its eggs. They will always be a threat to your team even if they're on the other side of the map.

7) Have everyone stay near the basket if glow fish appear. Whichever teammate is surrounded by glowfish will get zerg rushed by salmanonids.
Stay together to survive, and stay right next to the egg basket so you don't have to move much to collect eggs.

7) I like to let the Scrappers & Maws get closer to the basked before killing them, so it's easier to collect their eggs.

I find it better if you can find the nearest bottleneck during glowfly round instead. Especially if you have a roller or rapid fire weapon. That way no more than two squids can cover the chosen morsel's weak spots. If glowflies switch target or you run out of ink you migrate to another bottleneck.

...

is there a way to make them shoot the weather balloon lower?

Can only think of them being on a lower platform than you.

An accurate depiction of the tri-slosher in its current state

How do you guys deal with terrible team mates? I was knocked down from rank A+ in rainmaker to C due to retards not knowing how suppressive fire works, the purpose of dispersing and confusing the enemy, and that charging the tri-slosher head on is a stupid idea. It's like every intelligent player decided to stick to turf war instead of playing the so-called pro mode, and there isn't anything I can do about it because the game randomly selects players for each match. Is this normal for splatoon, or has it gotten worse?

...

Has anyone else here learned how to boop splat with the brella yet?

This Salmon Run loadout is possibly the worst casual shredder I have ever seen.

I have yet to pass the first wave due to idiocy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why isn't there that much good splatoon porn? I would expect so much more given the heavy handed sexual overtones.

Because most people don't sexualize kids.
You pervert.

Is it your first day on the internet?

I hope not in one sitting, cause I would then say it might be shit teammates and your own tilt.
Otherwise, I may have to impart an advanced technique to you to deal with shit teammates, are you ready?
Filling in.
Take note of what your team is doing and where they stand. Are they rushing forward like retard salmonids? Time for you to stay back and run interference on the objective. Move it forward if they get lucky but just try to be the lone defender.
Are one or two trying to play hero? Try to change it up and give them supporting fire, use them like they're moving sprinklers that can aim, tools to help you kill.
Generally you'll be forced to with play the objective hard or you'll have to be on the frontlines. Adapt around your team take note of what they tend to do. I had a bucket on my team that turned and fought whenever he was damaged, so I helped him by staying near him, because he was also always near the zone.
Also to help out your team consider special charge up. Specials are strong and provide space and benefits to your team, generally a favorable fighting condition for them. But that won't help as much as figuring out how to best help your team in any particular moment.

I do hope they made improvements, but even that much is fresh as fuck.

I cannot overemphasize what good advice this is.
Also worth noting: don't let your frustration cause you to make mistakes. Remain calm and analyze how you can best work with the situation. A VERY common mistake I see in Splat Zones and Tower Control is for individuals, after being splatted, immediately either Jump to whoever's closest to the target (often getting instasplatted due to Stealth Jump being supernerfed) or just charge ahead if there's nobody to jump to. It's MUCH more effective to try and stick together as a team.

The most frustrating thing I encounter in Ranked is when you get players who aren't playing the objective. I can appreciate in Rainmaker when players go far afield to try and create a path to the goal ahead of time or generally disrupt the enemies, but it's absolutely maddening in Tower Control when nobody wants to get on the damn tower. Thankfully, this seems to happen a lot less than it did in the original Splatoon.

If you're forced to move the tower all by yourself, I find the most effective method is to try and keep as many sides as possible inked in your colour, so once you start getting attacked you can drop down and hide in the side of the tower until the enemies run out of ink/stop temporarily.

...

You just explained why we don't want to use discord.

Got proof of confirmation? I want Ikamusume clothes again. Don't tug my heart strings user.


Wait until you get to Salmon Run and ranked. Also join mumble if you want to coordinated team on weekends.


You clearly need to lurk moar. There's a thread in /vp/. And you can find more of it on pivx and boorus.

Fucking this. Just for kicks I checked out the last Discord to see if there was anyone on. Turns out new users are silenced until you suck the admin's twin furry dicks. Fuck doing that gay shit.

Got any tips for when/how to use Bomb Rush? It doesn't have the utility of the Stinger or the "panic button" quality of the other two and I always waste it or never use it.

I found bomb rush to be useful with tackling multiple fly fish. You have to practice bomb rush at the weapon range because throws are shorter unless you hold R to throw farther which eats your bomb time. Short throws by fly fish are useful when maws and eels are around. Maws will almost always be lured into bombs and the bomb inks enough to have an opening to escspe eels.

Bombs can also be used to rescue fallen allies behind enemy lines too.

Do you mean in salmon rush? I noticed you mentioned the four specials.
If so then use it to clear out a swarm of salmonids from afar or, more importantly, killing fly fish quickly, especially when they have masses in front of them or there are multiple close to eachother or accompanied by maws.

no, its just a dumb scenario i made up because apparently my phone is too toaster for squidshop. i didnt mean to play with your heart.

have you tried android emulators? also i remember hearing someone making a workaround

It wouldn't be so bad with people here. It's only when the kids and fags get let on would shit start to get ruined

Yeah, for Salmon Run I never really used it except for nearby crowd control. It does go a bit farther when you hold R, which makes my missing Flyfish make more sense. I just really wish you could still shoot while you have it out, since another problem is getting stuck in enemy ink while it's out and not being able to escape Maws. Will Maws come to eat a bomb that isn't near a player?

You can still shoot during Bomb Rush.

Carry harder, and most importantly adapt your playstyle to reflect the fact that you cannot rely on your teammates. For instance, trading splats can be good when you have a team that's capable of holding their own, but when you don't, staying alive becomes much more important. The one exception to this is when you have the rainmaker and are not comfortably in the lead. Play extremely aggressively with it (in terms of movement, not necessarily kills). Figure out a few good lines to take for each map, and when you pick it up predict which one will have the least resistance. Then immediately rush it. Don't bother waiting for support because it probably isn't coming and even if it does all it's likely to do is draw the enemy to you. The rainmaker isn't as powerful a weapon as in Splatoon 1, but it's still perfectly capable of inking paths for you. You're still going to lose some games because some teams are simply not practical to carry, but you don't need 100% winrate to rank up.
t. S+ in Splatoon 1 and all three modes in 2

ive looked in to it and as far as ive seen theyre all loaded up with chinese telemetry

...

Also, Discord has followed other sites in banning nazi or "alt-right" meme think.

ok but what if she wasnt so angry

I prefer angry 5head Pearl

Bucket Masterrace reporting.. from Splatoon 1. God I wish I had a switch.

there would be more lewds

If you want to play OP Tri Slosher before nerf then try to get Switch soon.

Now to get my S rank in Tower control

That really does improve the character.

Who is the happiest merchant in the square?

what is wrong with the flingza rollers damage? sometimes melee does 97. sure i think it would be pretty ridiculous if it were a dynamo with a quick short ranged option, but i would hope the melee is at least lethal.

I kept getting splats and retaking areas as much as possible, but we lost by a decent margin anyways. Is ranked mode any better? This grind to level 10 is killing me.

Ranked is pretty shit too until you get into the upper Bs.

They just stayed in the middle of the map waiting for the enemy team to come

You gotta take the initiative in that situation and jump on the tower and hope your team protects you.

Guys. I figured out how the monkey's paw will screw us over on playable Octolings:

amiibo exclusivity

...

we're reaching good goy levels that shouldn't even be possible

...

I wouldn't buy it. I want playable octolings badly, but I'm not compromising on amiibo. I'm never going to buy one of those fucking things (I almost got the yarn Yoshi one because my 5-year-old wanted it, but I just got him an ordinary stuffed Yoshi instead because that's all he really wanted).
Seriously, fuck those things. That would put such a bad taste in my mouth for the game as a whole.

When are we getting a new map anons? I feel like Splat 1 got a new one much sooner than this.

Yeah they would be infinitely better if they were just tiny figured Nintendo sold. That's all they are practically anyways nobody who buys them actually uses them.

For squids out there looking for a new switch, fucking gamestop reported that they're getting new shipments in this week.
Other stores will probably get them too, most restock around the same time, at least in my area

Let's hope the update is free. Or at least digital DLC.

What does the amiibo unlock in 2 anyway?

The original boy, girl and squid (and their alt colors) give the same gear they did in the original, the three new versions of them give three new sets of gear (similar in theme / design to the old ones), and the Squid Sisters give you both of Agent 3's outfits (normal and armored).
Each of them also gives out a music track for the dance-pad arcade machine; these are the 'solo' Squid Sister songs, and six of the original multiplayer tracks (Splattack, Seaskape, Shellfie, Split & Splat, Hooked, and Sucker Punch).

will those multiplayer tracks rotate as you play multiplayer?

Unfortunately, they're exclusive to the arcade machine. Definitely a missed opportunity.

Who else here dumb enough to main this shit weapon?

Let me check those double dubs first there
The inkbrush is shit, utterly surpassed in every way by the octobrush, except its running speed. I wish they had given it at least the same time to kill or a bit of a higher range.
At least it has a good kit backing it up, splashdown will keep you safe and solar bombs give you an opportunity to do a sort of pincer attack. Honestly if it weren't just overshadowed by the bigger brush it'd be fine. Then again, with this one you can cut quickly through enemy turf and be a constant thorn in their side.
It's hard to do well with this one, I applaud anyone who sticks with it

So I got a paintball mask. It reminds me of the Bane mask. How would I become a big guy with what weapons and abilities to take on CIA?

Running speed is really the only thing weapon has for it. Still the inkbrush beong bottom tier makes squid bagging Tri Sloshers much more fun.

...

This is how I'm going to be spending the next month, isn't it?

what are glimmers?
got a screen or something?

Have you ever seen someone with a weapon that glinted slightly at the start of the match? I wish I had a screen and I can't find one after a quick little search. I'll have to play some more so i can show it.
It's such a small, trivial little thing that people won't even notice, but I want it because I use a main and stick to it, I want to show off just a little

Sorry that Callie vs Marie splatfest is way too convenient to be a transmission from millions of years ago. There has to be some sort of space sattelite watching Inkopolis from the stars. Otherwise it would not have sent drawings of Callie and Marie either.

I keep telling other squids aliens do exist but no one believes me.

Ayylmao Alex Sqones visits Holla Forums

Did we meme an Alex Jones inkling yet? I'd like to see him claim we're putting chemicals in the water to turn the freaking fish gay.

I main the inkbrush, it's probably the worst weapon in the game…maybe the Nozzlenoses (I can't kill with them) could be tied for worse, but it's arguable.

The Octobrush is like the inkbrush on steroids, so much so that the inkbrush feels inferior. If the inkbrush is a knife, then the Octobrush is a sword or a lance.

The Octobrush can kill at the range of two lines in the firing range, just like the Splattershot Jr's/Aerospray's/Sploosh-O-Matic. The Inkbrush can only reliably kill at the range of ONE line, the worst range in the game barely any more than than the range of the swing of a splat roller. The inkbrush has the tiniest kill zone out of any weapon.

It kills a TINY bit faster than the Octo brush (by like 0.03 seconds if all hits connect), but that's still slower than what it takes to kill with a carbon/splat/flingza roller.

It takes three swings to kill with an Octobrush, but it takes four swings to kill with an Inkbrush.

The *ONLY* real advantage the inkbrush has is it's "rolling" speed is faster. Even then, that's quite a double edged sword because most of the time if the enemy sees you first, you're dead, so rolling doesn't help too much. Only in a few places will fast rolling help, and the best places to roll are on like grates/ink-resistant areas. You can speed over those, but the Octobrush is only a little slower so it's not a big advantage.

The inkbrush has better ink consumption per swing than the Octobrush (like 50 swings VS 30 swings). The inkbrush's swing speed is only 7 frames (0.117 sec) versus the Octobrush's 10 frames (0.200 sec). The inkbrush swings also make 3 particles of ink per swing, where Octobrush makes 5 particles (Carbon roller makes 10, splat roller makes 12, Dynamo roller makes 16, haven't tested flingza roller tho).

I play with it, because I think it's the hardest weapon in the game. Best I could do in Splatoon 1 was S-Rank +70 with the inkbrush. I played with the Octobrush one day and got to S+ easy, but so i went back to inkbrush because I missed the challenge.

Hurts the finger a lot though

Dude. I kill with H-3 nozzler so easily. My motion controls and stick are set to max. I think L-3 needs a better kit before I take it to rank.

Anyway, I was testing inkbrush out with rainmaker earlier. Inkbrush is okay at getting behind enemy lines with a splash down. I got a triple kill as well. Sadly, most of the fun of inkbrush is messing with the psychology. And unless you got a team made you're not getting away with mindfucking opponents.

Inkbrush is shit at Salmon Run by itself.

Was the upcoming noveau confirmed with beacons? Because that would give inkbrush a more utility role with it's fast rolling speed.

Just bought Splatoon 2 and this is one of the first posts i see.
WHICH ONE OF YOU NIGGERS DID THIS?!?!?!?!

Go back to reddit, faggot.

Last time i checked HE jokes being banned was one of the many reasons the exodus happened 2 years ago, but yeah i'm just from reddit i guess.

Stop pretending to be an oldfag, HE was one of the first things to be banned here.

The fuck does ruggs have to do with this? I'm not making a shitty template thread. Just posted something i thought was good for a chuckle. Whatever you're taking for your autism you need a stronger dose idiot.

its pretty damn "convenient", and the world of splatoon seems drenched in conspiracies. but plenty of people have argued on which squid sister is better, so its not entirely impossible. after all one of the sunken scrolls has a fossilized human skeleton with a wiiu.


you want even less killing power on that thing? its not even that fantastic of a painter on its own.

...

Ew. Splat bombs make that shitty weapon just barely viable at high rank and that's like the best sub in the game.

They need to just buff the hell out of the inkbrush. Maybe change it to a three-hit kill. Maybe buff the dash speed too. The weapon feels so useless in so many situations in high rank.

its okay for it to be a niche big painting turf war weapon like the aerospray but it sucks at that too because it deletes its ink tank in half a second and its output is nothing special either way. if theyre going to buff anything about it, i would hope that they touch up on its ability to actually paint.
there arent too many ways to take advantage of speed its only strength in our current game modes though. but the standard inkbrush set with sprinkler and ink strike in the first game at least let it play to its strengths.

Decided to look up datamine.
Inkbrush Noveau has inkmines and Baller.

JUST

I wish the holocaust was real

Squids are asleep, post octolings.

octolings sleep in jars and they taste with their hands thats why they wear gloves

I don't see the dichotomy here.

squid

If you're getting your panties in a knot of that, out of everything wrong with this game, you're not just new here.

...

...

Every team based game is like that. You can't win with shit but your actions can be what tips the scales. Before ever blaming your team, first ask yourself what -you- can do better the next time, by yourself. You won't magically get a 70% Winrate that way, but it is the mentality that got me out of the S cycle. I started considering the objective more and played around my teammates more, and I rose up to S+. You WILL be dragged down by retards, just as you'll win because the enemy was dragged down by theirs. But it's important to consider your own mistakes first

Also I'd like to ask everyone, would you rather have the power to fly, or the power to be invisible?

The players on the enemy team are just as bad as your teammates on average. The only thing that's different is you.

It makes her as bland and uninteresting as marina or any other character in the game.
Pearl as it is is the most unique character in both games, it stands out so much that is one of the few things people will remember splatoon for,

twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/892187279975882752
This was the only relevant search result I could find; where did you get the rest of that info?

...

Is it even worth going after ability chunks? Holy shit, it's expensive to scrub gear, and you need 10 to 20 ability chunks to place a single ability.

It takes at least 30 chunks to fully load out an empty piece of gear, scrubbing to get 3 chunks costs at least 20k coins. That means to get enough ability chunks to fully load out a full set is at least 600,000 coins, not including the amount of effort to get the abilities on the gear in the first place, and the fact that the abilities are random, so you don't necessarily get the abilities you want, meaning it'll be much more expensive and take much longer, especially because you want a piece of gear fully filled out with abilities before you scrub to be cost effective.

I couldn't imagine maxing out on a single ability with this unless I'm putting hundreds of hours into just grinding for it. Is there any better way?

Make sure to do salmon run for extra chunks and use drink tickets you find to get better chances at the subs you want. But I agree, the effort that goes into making ideal gear is ridiculous, I'll be lucky to get the one set I want
(checked)
I just happened to notice it one day, then just as I thought about learning how to get that gleam a youtube video came up explaining it more, I'll embed once I get home if anyone wants to know more

A combination of these methods should get you the chunks you want:

Also, if the Grizzco "superbonus" for the day is gear, it usually has 1-3 abilities unlocked already, so you get up to three random chunks for free.

I didn't know you got chunks from Salmon run. that saves you the money you need to spend to scrub gear, I guess, but salmon run still takes hours of playing just for a handful of prizes (I've only played maybe two hours of Salmon run total), so you'd be better off just leveling up 3 empty gear at the same time in ranked.

I'd be interested to see somebody with maxed-out gear in specific abilities actually measure the difference that maxing-out makes.

That's useful, but it still takes a shitload of money and time for a single set. God forbid you want multiple maxed-out sets. I don't even know if the abilities make much of a difference, especially with the diminishing returns of stacking. I remember in the first Splatoon, the Ink Saver ability with 3 mains reduced your ink consumption to like ⅔ of normal. With 3 mains and 9 subs, it was like ½. That's a shitload of work for a ⅙ difference. Repeat that for every max ability you want a set of.

I'll just stick with stacking mains and not giving a shit about the subs if this game stacks the same way.

As a reference, here's an ability calculator for the first game:
calc.splatoon.ink

It's only really going to appeal to the people who will keep playing the game long after they hit Level 50, giving them something tangible to work towards.
The game's only been out a month, and there'll be major content updates for at least one year. I've played every day since launch, only just got all of the gear in the game so far, and it'll be several Splatfests before they can all be converted into 3-slots.
Worry about optimising your gear abilities later, and just spend your money on weapons and new gear up until you have no other options.

That's a good point. It just seems like a very lot of work for very little benefit.

flight vs invisibility

That's gay

It's hot is what it is.

FLIGHT, SO I CAN KILL EVERYONE IN MY SIGHT.

That's my new fetish.

...

Flight. Being invisible does nothing to hide your scent from dogs, footprints, etc. Entire wars were won with being able to fly. as cool as being invisible would be, I've seen enough paint buckets thrown onto invisible people for me to not know it doesn't end well.

Entire wars were won with flying machines. People alone being able to fly would not be nearly as effective. It's the weaponry on planes that make them effective, and you can't give hundreds of pounds of bombs or large machine guns to people and expect them to be able to carry or fly with them, and certainly not to wield them well even if they're capable of moving with them.

That's just semantics. You know what I meant.

It's not just semantics. It's a very important distinction. It makes invisibility far more useful in comparison.

...

touhous can fly

Eh I would choose power of flight. But I reached S rank in all 3 modes now for the grind for S+

Also adding I can use punch things at high Velocity

well, flying does give you more height to use splashdown from.

The funny thing about this Splatfest is that squids can already fly (superjump) and turn invisible (cromataphores).

Then again if I have to choose:


And millions of years later the first amphibious Cephlapod squiggles onto land.

Nice matchmaking, Nintendo.

Lower level players can be presumed to be better than higher level players of equal rank, because they're ranking up faster. Even if you're still in C-, level 20+ who are still in C- are guaranteed retards.

Level 10s haven't played ranked long enough to know the modes, as they've just unlocked it.

In other words if you don't quit Turf War by level 10 you done fucked up. Start over. No one wants to play with you.

Higher levels who are still in C are bad players. Certain things are unintuitive about the ranking system (like the fact that C and C+ players are worse on average than C-, because the good players skip straight to B- or B) but ranking up slowly = bad should be obvious.

Why would you play turf war any longer than you have to? It's just not that good a game mode.

what if you can only fly as fast as you can walk?

Makes sense. I'm glad I'm out of C on all modes now. C was shit. Impossible to tell if you'll just get an uncarryable matchup.

Because shiney weapons user. Shiney weapons.
Yeah I dun goofed with ranked by not sticking with it after level 10. That's not stopping me from having fun in ranked. I never cared about rising the ranks quickly because I don't like playing the meta to win. If I did I would only use Tri-Slosher and nothing else. And besides I have to scrub and re-roll gear to min/max anyway. So I'm in no hurry to rise to the top. Plus I have a job and that prevents me playing Splatoon enough to master new metas. Even if I stayed in rank after 10, others with more time to play will eventually surpass me in skill because I don't play enough.

...

You just gotta put that time in. I can only play for an hour or two a couple times a week (which is why I'm A rank in Zones and a B in Rainmaker, but until just a bit ago was still C in Towers; I can only play whatever the active mode is at the time). You'll get the good weapons as you go and get better at the specific game modes, and you'll get better at your weapons. I can still carry with a charger in A rank (especially in Rainmaker where the opponents are retarded and just stand still while shooting the shield, because they assume you'll just hammer it too instead of picking them off).

Unrelated, but does anybody know the specifics of the sparkle mechanic? I keep getting silver, and I'm wondering what the difference is between silver and gold.

ha ha, what a story

>not sandals or just socks
shit teir

Before I forget I should remember to fuck around with recon more. It might be better to jump straight into ranked. However maps are different in each mode. So reconning an unfamiliar area before jumping in should help.

Also I've been practicing hell charging in the weapons test with non scope chargers. Mostly maneuvers to keep my charge while swimming in steps. You can actually emerge from ink with max charge to reset your swim time while charged. Found it useful in Splat Zone for picking off buckets and paint cans with ninja squid and Goo Tuber.

in splatoon 1 sometimes the spawn would even move. its worth taking the time if your rank means that much to you.
yeah, chargers are a hell of a lot more unpredictable now. some people point out the nerfs but its an entirely different weapon by being able to hold charge. i dont see why anyone would take scopes when they cant hold charge. its more terrifying than simple area denial ever was.

...

why do you need to creep if you have the internet?

Thrill of the hunt.

Is the matchmaking for Salmon Run currently broken?

What do you think user? Remember, its not a bug to watch your team disconnect while you're in the middle of wave three with only one egg to go, it's extra entertainment to get the heart pumping.

Man, get anywhere I want to go very quickly without using fuel, or be mostly unnoticed while naked. I wonder what most people will prefer. A better match-up would be flight versus super strength, or invisibility versus total silence.

what if you were invisible on the internet?

HE FUCKING KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING

That pisses me right the fuck off just reading it.

Actually it was wave 2 but it felt like wave 3

Recon is incredibly fucking useful. Probe all the walls both on your side and the other (I know they're mirrored, but one-way paths and high-ground are important). It's important to know all the ways in either direction, good places to get a drop, safe retreat locations, and back routes in if needed (especially if your allies are pushing the front and you have the opportunity to run up the rear).

Oh, and something that completely changed the game for me is being aware of my own back. I make sure wherever I park myself, I know where an enemy can get the drop on me. I'll pull up the map every now and then when I have a free breath, and make sure I don't see suspicious ink patterns where I know I'm vulnerable. It's also useful if you get hit from the back or the side to know the most likely place that enemy is standing. It's probably more important for a ranged weapon like charger, because being surprised can be a very quick death.

Truly, there is no better feeling.

Regardless, this is exactly what I'm talking about. You either get 12yos who don't know what the fuck they're doing, or cucks pretending to be retarded. I've had to block nearly 20 people just to keep disconnecting faggots out of my team.

Scopes have better reach. Plus if you're good at head games you can use your lines to bait enemies into traps.

God I love being a squid!

i wonder if marinas clothes will turn invisible for the splatfest

i wonder if theyve made any adjustments to this thing.

its finally here!

and just as i was finally getting used to the gootuber. into the trash it goes.

Pretty sure Goo Tuber will keep it's niche as an ambush pick-off weapon. Squiffers will be more in your face. Now the question is will Squiffers have nerfed attack power to make up for faster charging?

Flight, it's more practical

It's okay kiddo, I know this is your only source of self-worth since graduating high school, but hang in there.
Fuck man, did you even read what was fucking posted? Two people saying, "yeah it sucks out there sometimes but it helps to look at your own playstyle too". Reading comprehension you fucking mongoloid, learn it.

Everyone knows you can clean a garage faster when you can fly.

prolly not. at that point it would be no different than the bamboozler which supposedly is coming back. also the squiffer was never a weapon that benefitted too much from stacking tons of attack up. it pretty perfect as is,

the real question is whether or not it will take advantage of the new charge storing mechanic. gootoober has a nice long charge, the other charger s have 1-2 seconds, and the scoped varieties have none. if its none, it'll be like splatoon 1, but if its 1-2 seconds, it could be a nice buff.

oh speaking of. i have a question regarding that. when you are holding a charge and have ninja squid. can your enemies see the blinky light? same for having ink shields.

>add to cart a switch, some additional shit moar controllers (see below), that pro controller, memewheels and a bag to carry everything around
Convince me

Because it is only fun if you are going to have loads of people over to play the silly games. Also the "wii sports" of this console doesn't come included you gotta get it extra.

1-2-Switch is fucking garbage. Not even close to comparable to Wii Sports. It's more like Wii Play, which was also shit.
The switch should have launched with a Wario Ware or something of the sort that would actually show off the capabilities and be fun.

Who the fuck else would you be?
>>>/cuckchan/

If you have access to a Wii U, try Zelda on that first. It's very different from the rest of the series, and may not be to your tastes.
The only extra controllers you 'need' are one pair of JoyCons and (possibly) one Pro Controller. Pretty much every 4-player game, including Mario Kart, is playable with individual JoyCons.
If you really want the steering wheel accessories, check reviews of the third-party ones; I recall the official set having L / R trigger problems.
And, of course, don't bother unless you think the system will get new games that interest you / will still be played by you a year from now. Splatoon 2 is following the "free content updates for a year" plan the original game used (which had 3x the content by the end), so if you're buying it, then you should be well-served.

dont all the switches on amazon have massively jacked up prices? i ended up getting mine off of a bundle at gamestop.

So where all octo kids blacked?

Thinking about it, splatoon's ranking system is effectively a kiddy form of communism. An individual's contributions are never rewarded in proportion to his capability, only as an aspect of the group's success. Consequently, the same individual will be punished severely if the group fails to achieve the goal regardless of how well the player was performing. It doesn't matter if you managed to control the splat zone for fifty seconds on your own through careful maneuvering and precise splats, your rank will be slapped with the same penalty as johnny fuckall who let himself be flattened by a roller twelve times. The game fully believes in forced equality, and further incriminates nutendo as a pozzed shitheap catering to sjw's.

Jesus christ, no wonder the square is full of trannies and furries.

teamwork isn't communism you idiot

...

Which colour of Switch are you getting? Because the Splatoon/Switch bundle with the neon pink/green Joy-Cons is coming to the US. Also the UI of the Switch even displays the different colours of JC that are linked to it, so consider getting different colours (neon pink/green, neon red/blue, ARMS yellow and standard grey should be currently available).
With the Pro Controller, there is the normal version and a Splatoon 2 themed version.


This. The Switch basically comes with two controllers out of the box and I still don't think there is any local multiplayer game that requires a pair for each player. Even ARMS can be played with an optional (but slightly limited) single JC set up.

I need that Pearl webm. The one with the music, and the fanart depicting her fivehead.

...

Flight.
Wars could be won with the ability to fly without needing airplanes + guerrilla warfare. Also it could come in handy in so many situations. Dropped a glass on the floor and it shatters? Just fly over it so you won't stab yourself while cleaning it up!

I love that last file, but Pearl's head should only be up to Marina's shoulders.

Nope, don't have access to a Wii U. Friend told me it's nice, but then again he sucks cock and owns more apple shit than a normal city block.
I thought so, the controllers are quite expensive however.
I'll look around for the wheels then. Some have decent reviews, but none of the bad ones for the official set mentiones the trigger problems, they're just about the size.


I'm in Europe. I only found splatoon bundled with the themed pro controller on amazon and would go for that.
Checking gamestop, they actually have a switch+splatoon bundle. I suppose I could check there tomorrow aswell.

How old do you estimate Pearl to be?

Because if she's 13-14 and met Marina two years ago then I bet Pearl has some interesting questions for Marina about puberty stuff.

19. Marina's 18. Pearl's done growing.

But that's a rectangle.

…Well then. Pearl porn is legal.

DUDE NERF THE OCTOBRUSH LMAO

That was just a guess based around how they act along with advice from legal counsel.

Can't go to jail for Pearl lewds unless you live down under.

I'm not even into Pearl lewds, but I'm sure Auscucks would take it upon themselves to go after anyone with Marina lewds as well.

Sage for second post. This came to mind after I submit. So I'm guessing the Squid Sisters would be roughly legal adults by now in Splatoon 2. And if Marina and Pearl is of similar age then I wonder if they share similar taste in things that the younger hipper inklings don't care about.

as long as they still look like lolis they can be as old as they want

Should just make a list of the Main Plaza shit thats happend to far

1.Knack 2(Dunkey)
2.Furries and Normal Fags fighting
3.IS X real/ I wish X was real posts
4 LGBTQ Raiding and them trying to put gender on squids or what
5….

Wonder what five is gunna be

I want to take pearl, And hold her hand.

...

I want to touch her forehead

>JESUS FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
Switching from analog to motion is fucky but easy to get used to.
Switching from motion to analog is a janky ass fucking nightmare.
Don't worry, tho, I figured out that my main problem was that my sensitivity was too fucking high. Why must default settings always suck monkey shit in every single fucking game?

do you think pearl gets stronger if theres ink in her crown like a kappa?

Why the fuck is there all of this nonbinary trans bullshit in inkopolis square?

Is it bad that I'm only good with the Heavy Splatling? I'm routinely getting 15 kills a game on rainmaker with it. I've been stacking three run speed ups on it.

Furfags ebb out and the trannies flow in to replace them. Circle of cancer.

when does run speed work? when youre revving it up, when youre firing it or both?

So I just noticed this

So whats with all the fags on Miiverse, it was never this bad in Splat 1

It's definitely Tumblr. I wonder if they're reportable.

Wicked? More like SquidKid.

...

"Memes" and their cringeness, Undertale's popularity spreadness and kids posting were less bad before than everything else happening on Splatoon 2?

There's barely any moderation on Splatoon 2's pseudo-miiverse and a questionable popularity system that lets the bullshit get to the top and stay there because it's the only visible posts, like the front page of reddit. I see very few squid-related posts compared to Splatoon 1 with no effort at all to keep them relevant to the game. It's all pro-furry or anti-furry, steven jewiverse, undertale, or some other goddamn stupid shit I'm not even familiar with yet because I'm not a 12 year old on the bleeding edge of "how low can the human race sink."

When you're running, goober.

hey fuck you buddy it was new to me

Best possible way to react to the LGBBQT is for everybody to make posts about how chemicals in the ink are turning the frickin squids gay. For real though, any and all Splatoon 2 postfags need to get on this

no wonder why it's dominated by faggots.

I didn't know that you need a twatter or FaceBerg in order to post pics. I wonder If I should link my BergHead account and post weird ass pics? Thankfully it saves a pic to your album folder.

I made a throwaway twitter account, nobody except indian spammers will ever follow you or see what you post anyway.

...

how do we stop this

The furfags aren't looking so bad now.

Nintendo fans are all liberals. People who play jewtoon are just as bad as undertale fans. Its all liberal/sjw autism.

I, for one, am going with the angle that these people are mentioning things to do with sex and genitals, on a children's game. I always report those are furries for sexual content, because isn't that were all this nonsense stems from at its base? Sex?

you can get banned for reporting too many times too though jsyk

No you don't understand. These ARE the furfags. They're the same exact people. The issue was never with anthropomorphized animals. It was THE FURFAGS.

The furfags probably posted fur shit to see how many of their kind are on there before they moved on to autismus maximus, so they seem like a majority of players

And you all doubted that Octolings are superior

I'm sure this is true, but do we have proof of it happening yet?

This upsets me more than it should, even though it's over a year old this is the first time I saw it. Holy shit is this how casuals saw Splat 1?
I can't webm from here, sorry

I just wanted to play fucking play some god damned video games, but even within them I cannot escape the insanity if the current year.

Don't think for a moment that they won't come after Octolings you sad sack of a cephalopod.

genocide

WOOOOOOOOOW HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!!

...

I want the furries back. At least they had good art.

UH, ALL THE OCTO PEOPLE OR TAKOS AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM, GET OUT OF INKOPOLIS BECAUSE ITS FOR SQUIDS ONLY, UNDERSTAND, CAUSE IF YOU DON'T I WILL MAKE OCTOS SLAVES AGAIN!!!

You have to remember that Splat 2 is on a much more successful console than Splat 1. Ergo, there's going to be more retards playing it.

The issue has been historically been self-correcting, but the prevalence of this in society has only been becoming greater and greater.

Looking at the statistics, along with my experiences with about 6 transgender people, it really deserves a better explanation and treatment than the whole REMOVE meme.

The real sad part about this is that people who don't agree with those fucking plaza posts have been disarmed and discredited as simply being a bigot for disagreeing. Therefore you're point of view isn't just cast aside, but the popular opinion in the culture has become such to allow these behaviors to happen. Not only happen, but to prop them up atop a pedestal as some sort of new holy virtue.

We shout and shitpost remove this and remove that because we're not allowed to have any say in this discourse, so all we can fallback on is the force of shitposting in hopes to get through to someone. Meanwhile this keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger– The entire LGBT thing has gotten out of hand. Unlike furries, who have nothing to offer politically, socially, or economically, the entire LGBT crowd serves as a political bloc that can serve for votes and changing the attitudes towards policies that leftists tend to like. But having the social and political protections afforded to them by the left-dominated culture has made their existence not one of survival but of being that of sore winners. I'm gay REMOVE but I see all this garbage as a sign that the entire LGBT movement has overstayed it's welcome and needs to be asked to leave the party.

Transgendered people aren't like the other populations within that group. Using them as a political prop is abusive when you realize how they're being used. While there is a fair series of arguments that can be made about gay and bisexual traits, their manifestation, and origins, transgender people are not equal to the aforementioned groups for one key reason: their concern is about the genitals they have, not the genitals they're necessarily attracted to. Sexuality to a transgendered person is a secondary issue if it's even an issue at all.

wow, good one google

...

rope

google means to say semen

Yes. Please fucking hang yourselves.

TRANSFAGGOT SIGHTED

Go back to half chan faggot

POST SQUIDSTIKAS
And take advantage of the squid/kid, male/female, and inkling/octoling dichotomy to say that there are ONLY TWO such and such.

All faggots will be slaughtered and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

But user… The inferior vertibrates like the evil Salmonids have two genders. They could spin the narative that two genders are an inferior evolution of vertibrates because spineless master race.

...

why is this so hot?

are you a shotacon

why does one of the salmon have kevin from ed edd and eddy's hair and hat

...

Are you?

no but id like that outfit for my squid loli

Where did all the posts go from earlier today?…

so… you play a game that automatically makes you look like a pedophile?
el oh el.

And you're a furfag who likes MLP and steven universe. glass houses.

LMAO

at least I won't be raping a horse.

...

...

...

should i tell the story about how mares will present themselves, and push their pussies into their handlers, begging for cock? how about how dolphins fuck for fun, and will try to rape humans.

huh, but i guess all that matters to braindead retards like you is whether or not they can say yes or no in english, right? body language is just a meme, right?

Also, if animals can consent, then why would I be imprisoned for fucking a kid? Surely they can consent if an animal can.

mayo master race

archive.fo/OLj3t

Just because an animal wants to fuck doesn't mean you should do it you trog.

all it needs is "down syndrome pride" forehead_monster.jpg

Clearly all we have to do is turn pearl into a white supremacy symbol

there is no reason NOT to fuck a horse


the dick only makes it better.

checked
also, needs mayo bottle edit

Everyone on my ranked team had ink armor as a special weapon. we won in 30 seconds & it was never off more than 3 seconds.

There's a way to cheat, & I think I found it.

You are part of the SJW problem, user. If you find this hot, you should go see a doctor.

fuck off retard, 'the dick only makes it better' is no a fucking meme, its a lifestyle. adding a dick to a girl LITERALLY only improves it. there are NO downsides.

If you enjoy it, it means that you self portray as that tranny. Soon you will be wanting to take hormones and chop your cock off. Go lift and stop being a vegan cuck to get your test up before it's too late, user.

fucking lmao. been listening to that alex jones, bro?

Someone needs to stop being a defensive faggot and accept they need to unfuck their shit.

i like mlp, does that mean im going to get plastic surgery to get my shins broken backwards to resemble horse legs, and begin my transition to life as a pony?

user, let me get this straight.
When you see a porn video, and wank to it, you find it hot because you imagine that the penis in the video is yours. You imagine that you are the man fucking to the woman. With time, you eventually do it in a subconscious level. When watching tranny shit and wanking to said tranny garbage, you self portray as the tranny fucking/getting sucked off, even if you aren't aware of it. After many wanks to tranny shit, you will inevitably end up wanting to become the tranny because it will be the only way for you to get off, because you have subconsciously subjected yourself to it. The only solution for fixing you at that point would be to go through therapy if you haven't chopped your balls off yet.

Forgot to add,
Okay there's no way to fix you, bucko.

there is literally nothing wrong with mlp

Admit your defeat, bronyfag.

As you wish

...

sorry, I tend to be a little late on the uptake.

Would you like to see Callie and Marie in diapers or has it been done already?

...

I didn't like Pearl at first, but she's growing on me. And making me grow, if you catch my drift.

Reminder:
Ignore off-topic shitpost.
Report attention seeking (You) whores.

I wonder who's paying those people to shill in a kid's game.

By ignoring it.
Does anyone really want the fucking splatoon plaza to become the next shitflinging center? If it had just been ignored in the first place it would have just passed on. Now we're getting response posts to response posts that have no end in sight. If you ignore something on the internet, it dies.

You act as if watching Steven Universe doesn't put you on a watch list

Question: If you won the lottery to take Callie or Marie on a date, where would you go?

You need to stop.

Thread's in a death spiral right now. Got a more interesting topic?

if im going to take a 2d girl on a date were going someplace fictional. so maybe the pooka village from odin sphere, assuming they didnt require valentine coins and the world wasnt about to blow up.

...

What would a rural village in Splatoon look like?

hard to say when inkopolis has city blocks based on different parts of the world. but i have to imagine they would constantly look like theyre prepared to throw a festival at a moments notice.
you ever see places that never seem to take down their christmas or halloween decorations?

I have. So maybe Inkopolis's major food production plantations would be based on rural villages depending on county. Like if Calamari County was the rice paddy for example. Or we could have a cotton field based on a Florida village.

well yeah, different areas are usually better suited for some things than others. what weve seen of inklings theyre mostly portrayed as realistic. and that helps to make the octarians more interesting as theyre such a sharp contrast to the relatively normal inklings. now what do they eat besides fish? do the most autistopus among them design automatic farms with their moving platforms?

Pretty sure Inklings and Octolings have to adapt an omnivorous diet. Look no further than Crusty Sean's menu. Not just the deep fried monstrosities. The soft drinks are named after fruits. Which means if Inklings didn't develop to digest fruit, a plant, then the fruity flavors would be tasteless to them.

i mainly meant octarians, but im sure they trade for food. i dont know why i initially thought they couldnt.

what sensitivites do you all use for motion/stick?

i maxed out stick sensitivity, but every time i mess with the gyro settings i go back to default after a few rounds. i dont want to retrain my muscle memory

i remember not too long ago one user was talking about smash bros movesets for inklings. and i was thinking well there are so many weapons and things to cover, too much for one character.
maybe it would make more sense to have agents 1-3 so they could have playstyles centered around different weapons and personalities instead of just trying to cram as much as they can on one character and not really taking anything far enough. besides, they need more than 1 rep.

callie could be an aggressive character with good approach options using rollers and bombs.
marie could have many combos available because that might be an elegant way to handle the "youre in a bad position so youre gonna be punished" aspect of chargers.
agent 3 is known for storming bases and ripping the octarian army in direct confrontation and that could be represented by agility and having strong finishers enabling her to get from one target to the next so to speak

Wonder if this was the ship being built in Sturgeon Shipyard.

WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY

Max stick, min motion. Gives me good fine aiming while still being able to quickly turn. I play charger. I'd probably go higher sensitivity with a different weapon.

New thread when? Or do I have to make it

New patch tomorrow, notes are out.
en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27028/~/how-to-update-splatoon-2
Highlights:
Blaster buff (less inaccuracy when jumping)
Roller buff (ink efficiency for regular/carbon, range for dynamo)
Charger buff (shorter charge time)
Splatling buff (faster move speed while charging/shooting)

Nothing got nerfed, with the exception of the standard dualies which got a range increase but a special charge nerf.

Gonna make new thread now
