ALSO OCTOLINGS ARE SUPERIOR

I'm pretty salty that I loaned my Switch to my sister and can't play Splatoon right now. Is the Squeezer as obscenely good as it seems or is the slow turf-inking enough of a handicap for a longer ranged, more accurate splattershot pro?

So New Year means we have to start paying for online? Or when is that going into effect?

It's rumored to have been put back until late 2018

She likes mayo more anyway.

SAD

CUNTBOYS

The autofire seems plenty good for coverage. Semiauto is 38 damage per hit, that's at least as fast as the splattershot pro, and has more range. The only downside I really see is the sub is splashwall, which is underwhelming, and stingray, which is highly situational. I like both splattershot and pro, and this was a great compromise to use both, but that sub and special don't do it for me.

Happy new years to you and all other anons as well

Praise be to the good Lord above! I'll be playing SR while pregaming for the Rose Bowl, I'll probably start here in about four hours. If anyone wants to team up you know where to find me

I'll try to meet up with you, P.

...

...

I've been delayed ~45 minutes

No problem. That gives me time to recruit more.

I NEED MY PUBLIC SUBS

But why?

For our next event I need a tally of Splatoon veterans and new squids. Consider Veterans to be people who played with us during Splatoon 1 and new squids to be people who didn't play with us at all or who just got into Splatoon 2.

Do I count as a veteran if I played Splatoon 1 for only 40 or 50 hours near the end of its life cycle?

40 or 50? Not really.

When are these events?

Well, I think this has been an interesting year, for better and for worse, and I look forward to see more porn of Marina

I need a tally first, then I need time to promote it, so a few weeks.

I'm READY

Alright. Splat Bon. Newbie. Functionally retarded. Attention whore.

I'm waiting on two more, but we can rumble now.

Alright should I get on mumble

I'm on it, but no mic today.

I'll get on if requested

We can chat there, so not cluttering the thread

Big_D here still alive, had some decent weekends with you guys back on the first game, have been in and out doing other things but also have Spla2n

Splatoon 1 will forever be the best, I don't care about meta-fags crying imbalance, get good. Surprisingly a healthy Jap population, they understand it's GOAT.

Why is it better though? I never played the first one.

Personally, when I played the first one, it was on release. The world was so vibrant, so pure, the shitposting was both ridiculous and hilarious. The best part was seeing it placed all over the levels in banners, advertisements, graffiti, and just about anything else you could think of. When I played it, I had a smile on my face the whole time and it was the first time in a while I played a game for 12 hours straight and had to tell myself to stop.

You really want that Choco Tako don't you?

turbo tits Marina a-best.

So have you guys tried out the new Undercover Brella yet? I kinda like it, since it's more used as a shield and has a faster fire rate. I don't like the fact that it's secondary is Inkmines.

Manners maketh man

Yeah, I find it a good weapon even if I have a harder time getting kills with it.
Having played against two of these in splat zones, I can say it's really useful. With another teammate with you, you can make it so the mines will keep most of the area covered. It's really about how you use the mines than the damage they do. The squeezer really disappointed me. Its concept is good, but unless it gets an improved varient I feel most other weapons will do the job better

This is truth

Basically this
Everything about it was perfection, the maps, the soundtrack
THE SOUNDTRACK
Callie and Marie. I played it for hours on end, no game hooked me like in recent years. The core game is still the same in Spla2n but I don't like some of the changes, I especially don't like the power ups. And the maps took a huge nose dive there isn't a single Spla2n map that rivals the quality of the first game. The Spla2n world is lacking any charm, it's become so edgy, the soundtrack the clothing and the hair-dos Marina and Pearl have grown on me but they will never replace Callie and Marie. I understand they wanted to sell the switch but they should have waited another 2 years to release Spla2n

The specials suck now they're just shit all of them are shit. The maps aren't as interesting in layout, the splatfest maps are the only ones that try to be interesting or try to do something cool. Umbrella is cool. Ink mines are shittier somehow, curlers are gayer seekers and are ultimately just splatbombs nerfed to shit in useability. There's no where that I can get a curler to go that I can't throw a bomb but there's plenty of places I can throw a bomb that a curler won't go. The trail of ink, while nice, doesn't compensate for this. Disruptors and point sensors getting a lasting AoE is kind of cool but I don't have nearly as much fun as just being a faggot bastard incessantly pelting the enemy team with them. In the first game I could go into a match with the goal of maining a subweapon and be successful doing so (TW).
The actual net connection somehow is worse than the first game but I willingly put up with it in the first game because of how mind numbingly fun it was. It was so well polished, or something, I don't know I'm not a dev or designer. I don't know what gave the first one so much magic.
The squid sisters fucking rule I still honestly can't comprehend how the fuck someone could prefer Callie and when I realized there's a lot of people that do that actually surprised me, I think there's something called "quality character design" that helps explain that phenomenon. I fought FOR MARIE. Period. Snails be damned even though I did really want the snails I don't even play splatfest in this game. Shit I don't even fucking play any of the Vs. modes I am meaning to try out the new ranked mode it does look fun. I only play Salmon Run because Salmon Run is the only thing they got right, and they really got it right. I have very little critique for it (let me cancel a special stinger if I'm a moron and use it at the wrong time please).
The music was most all great in the first game, and the Squid Sisters were clearly the best, deserving the mantle they were put upon, but there was only like one band I wasn't a fan of. I do like most of the music in Spla2n also but the new idols are shit and while the goblin has grown on me I don't actually care about her, I just enjoy splatfest banter so I talk shit. It seems like there was a higher attention to detail, a higher level of care for the first game. Maybe I looked at it through rose tinted glasses, I was in fact sold during the first E3 mention of it, it blew me away and I had to have it, and I was extremely excited to get it day one. This does lend itself to a heavy bias.
Maybe the novelty is gone. I don't look at each level like a puzzle to be figured out, trying to outplay my enemies through not aim nor weapon but by how I approach any given situation. I don't have the drive to gitgud at every single weapon. I don't hope and pray that my team will use my beakons that I try to always keep up. I mean where the fuck is the echolocator? Wheres my shield that I maxed out special duration for so I could try and regularly fail to give my entire team a shield for the last ten seconds? Why am I never pissed off that some faggot fuck popped a kraken when I'd really have liked him not to? Shit, wheres the super jumping krakens?? Wheres that shithead zipperhead shooting zookas through walls?
WHERES MY FUCKING MIIVERSE DAMN IT THE POSTS ALONE AREN'T ENOUGH I NEED MIIVERSE WITH MY SPLATOON FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD

But this new game does have it's merits. Spyke got a real job and his replacement doesn't require a thumb drive to give me what I want on all the clothes I'll never use. That football game looks good I can't comment on it any further though. Salmon Run is seriously fun, emphasizing what may be my very favorite aspect of the first game, team work with random strangers. 2 hour map rotations seems more sensible. Spawn camping seems to have gone the way of the dodo? That's really good I hated watching my team spawncamp while just waiting on the center, then when one guy gets through I don't even want to splat him. I sure as shit see him and the entire map is my color. That was a serious negative to the first game but one that I dealt with and I'd gladly go back to if it meant recreating what might very well be the lightning in a bottle that was splat1.
I need to stop this post.
So in short there's a lot that was better in the first game, some more subjective some more objective. I don't think I covered it all, and I did parrot what other anons have already said. But I will say this in finality -
Splatoon was one of the very best games I've ever played in my life. It was one of the absolute most fun games I've ever laid eyes on. It was one of the most creative and interesting games I've ever played, and I mean that for the gameplay itself. But that's not to say the first game didn't have faults of its own. I guess that's mostly all novelty, so maybe that's why I find this new one to suffer so heavily. I don't know. What I do know is that this post is a jumbled mess and Marie is Queen. Long live the Queen.

Little Squid here, just got the Switch for Christmas, and a friend gave me Spla2 yesterday.


Any tips/suggestions for a little squid dude who's getting his toes wet in the first two hours?

Honestly things like the specials being nerfed/replaced is something that's just made me like 2 more.
I get that 2 lacks the initial wow factor, that the first one has, but everything's far more balanced, and as a result I've found that previously useless stuff, is now worthwhile. Likewise, making a comeback, and general gameplay isn't nearly as frustrating as in 1.
Ninja Squid was basically useless with echolocator, and point sensors were also devalued because of it.
Bubbler gave you full on invincibility with no downsides, kraken could swim through enemy ink uninhibited, and how could you seriously forget about Inkzooka on Arowana's bottleneck?
Not to mention the smaller changes now, too. Shit like the rollers now having vertical swings, and being able to store your charger charge.
And in general Ink just moves faster in this game, too, if I recall correctly. If that's the case then every single weapon was buffed, and gameplay's been sped up a bit, as result.


Your biggest complaint about it seems to be that it lacks the novelty of the first, but that's basically impossible to replicate, as even the best sequel out there will still be derivative of the first.
I can concede the maps aren't as memorable as the first one, but a large part of that is they lack the memorable frustrating aspects the first one had. Arowana and Moray being probably the biggest offenders.

Why do the actual good maps not show up?

I NEED more Marina lewds. All of mine are from Splatoon 1.

1. Don't be afraid to try out new weapons. Now is the time to experiment, while you're still being matched with people who are as shitty as you. Once you hit level 10 the matches become a lot more punishing.

2. Learn to aim. If you're not using the tilt controls, for the love of God enable them. Mess with your tilt and right-stick sensitivity until you feel comfortable, I find the default settings a little too slow. Once you learn to aim getting squished by rollers becomes much less of a problem.

3. ALWAYS be either shooting something or swimming. Never run around in kid form. In Turf Wars, turf is all that matters, so as long as you're covering turf you're helping. Even a noob like you can help win a match if you spray enough.

4. Learn that being able to see someone and being able to shoot them are two different things. Weapons have drastically different ranges. Get used to the effective range of your weapons.

5. Paint yourself escape routes. Learn that turf is power. Enemies can't run from you if the area around them is covered in your ink. Likewise, you can't get cornered and, for example, blown up by a grenade as long as you have a safe way to swim away.

I'd say that I'd post more but I'll probably get bored and leave. Unless more Marinaposting happens.

...

Might wanna read his post again friend.

What is reading comprehension?

...

I have a couple

This doesn't mean all of my videogames are on PC, only that my fun ones are. When the subject of line one is {Marina Lewds} and you use {all of mine} as a descriptor on line two it means you are referring to all of your Marina lewds, not lewds in general.
It's easy to figure out the context despite 's grammatical mistake, but that doesn't mean he didn't make one.

That aside, webm related.

Isn't this the game enjoyed by diaperfags?

Isn't your mom enjoyed by niggers?

...

Here,have the non cucked version of that

...

fucking where do you see a nigger? are you talking about marina?

:^)

That dick looks weird.

never heard of it,but sounds funny

Hey buddy, I think you've got wrong the thread, the Sonic general is two posts down.

how do you know?
Do you stare at other peoples penises?

oh it was real dang good
she was look for acceptation :^)

disgusting goddamn squiggers

Marina is for sexual

Huh.

God's work user.


Kek. The sentence started off as 'Splatoon lewds'. Thanks for the laugh niggers. Here's some more reposts.

...

Gonna say it once

...

Yeah I think that's probably my biggest issue so I tried to stress it.
Arowanas bottleneck wasn't a problem for me but I was willing to switch weapons for it, I loved arowana you could really dominate with the HYDRA. But to your point specifically, you can always get behind something for the short while that an inkzooka is out, use a splash wall, answer with a number of other specials, or focus on a different task other than the very small piece of real estate that was the center of that map for a few seconds.
And while I see your complaints that the specials were too strong I don't think that making them more or less useless was the correct response. They were specials, it made sense to me for them to be OP, your weapon had a special too it's not like you were put out in the cold with a specialless weapon.
Point sensors weren't made less valuable because echolocator existed that's ridiculous I simply don't know how you could come to that conclusion after extensively playing the game. They have the exact same value as they would without echo. What has changed in value though is cold blooded, which now only answers for two niche subs.
Ninja squid is just as useless as it's ever been, and I can not stress this enough - that is completely useless.
I never understood the complaints about kraken and bubbler, as if you couldn't choose to play weapons that used them yourself, as if you didn't know what they did and that you needed to be prepared to react, as if simply shooting them wasn't an effective answer.
Honestly think about the fact that you've claimed that 4 special weapons are too strong out of 7, which I could add the post match ink coverage, zone denial, or tower clearing ability from the inkstrike, and the ability to completely shut off an area of the map or any progression with the killer wail, if not push bubblers or a kraken off the map completely or just splat someone/everyone. I don't see where complaints about special weapons could come from based on them being too strong considering most all of them were very powerful and could be used to change the tides of a match, and that they all had answers if you wanted to apply yourself and answer them, and then that every weapon had a variant with a different special. The bomb rush was pretty decently honest frankly so I won't include it.
Vertical swing on rollers is great, good call that totally slipped my mind. Same with holding a charge while swimming, I don't know how they managed to buff the chargers like that and not end up with nothing but charger mains but here we are so they got that right for sure.

2017 was the year of brown girls

Hopefully 2018 brings many more.

What's even the appeal of the downy and squidnigger? The original girls were far FAR better.

They are supposed to be shit. They made the white one very ugly on purpose to make the black one seem appealing by comparison. Did you forget that Treehouse was involved with this game during creation?

Pearl isn't ugly you nigger, they just gave her a shit tier squidcut

Service to the plot and game mechanics.
IE: Recognizing the Splatfest Finale victory from the last game in game and having it mechanically and literarily translating into the second.

if you felt that way you shouldnt have participated in the final splatfest

...

Mhmm. Way to prove your point. Go apologize for marxism somewhere else.

...

I'd dirty my squid genetics for Marina.

Behead those who insult Pearl

The true reward was best girl not turning into an inkburner.

Why can't you like, walk out of the building you came from when you exit a mode seriously. It's annoying

any fun ways to cheese online multiplayer? I'm at level 50 something & don't feel like I'm getting any better.

diives is a shit artist and shit animator

Get the Tenta Brella and be a wall

What, just block attacks for the team? Is that really all that fun?

No
You can push people into hazards with it
Go out of your way to bully

Whatever your heart weapon is, get that good with every other weapon. Focus on three weapons first, your choice, but I'd suggest at least having them be different ranges. The better you are at any weapon the better you will be at countering it

The finished NSFW version hasn't been released yet, but the finished SFW one has. Hence why the dick one says NOT RELEASED YET and the tentacle doesn't.

Hello again, squid friends. I hope you are doing well. Here is a picture of a meme squid for you to enjoy. I hope to see you during my next shift at Grizzco. Have a wonderful day.

Diives can't do convincing butts to save his live.

so this is useless right?

Considering literally anyone ever would spray any patch of enemy ink and it still doesn't hide you on walls?
Absoluterly

Try holding the stick at not full tilt

What this guy say on Fox News to get such a reaction?
GitGud**


It's useful for getting close to your target if you're using a weapon with no range i.e: Inkbrush, Sploosh-O-Matic, Aerospray, etc.

Kill me.

No you can travel faster and stay just as hidden by just not mashing the stick forward all the way. Ninja squid is useless, no exceptions.

I verified whether it was the two run speed ups & I got 20 kills with 2 mained, but only 10 with one. Apparently the run speed makes a huge difference when your backing up which I didn't notice. Did I get lucky or are the Zappers the best weapons to use with run speed up?

Run speed nzap combo is tried and true but you shouldn't come to a conclusion based on just two rounds

Ok but that's the most splats I've EVER gotten during tower control.

Then if I were you I'd keep doing it and if your results stay consistent I'd say you have yourself a good set for TC. I'm just saying there's anomalous matches so you may want more than just one to come to any definitive conclusions, instead of looking at that one and expecting the rest to go that well.
But yeah the nzap is a good all rounder, and it doesn't burn through all of your ink. Mobility can be a huge plus gut a gun like that. If you have more slots you don't know what to do with try ink resistance, that should help your mobility even more in sticky situations.

...

back to 15 and probably only downhill from there. I deserve this for using the N-ZAP and shitting on everyone.

...

By your logic, the squid sisters don't have differing eye structures, they just keep them in different expressive states.

Story time

...

...

Okay, all these LBGTQBBGWTF+++ posts are getting on my nerves. I hate it more then the furfag posts. Nintendo, get some fucking mods and get rid of that shit.

remember, its okay when nintendo does it

(checked)

Back when Miiverse was a thing, gay pride posts didn't exist, or furfaggotry. Sure the Miiverse mods were "No Fun Allowed," but at least they kept degeneracy in check. But since there's no Miiverse, that means no moderation on Inkopolis. No one to put the fags in their place.

It's been like this for months, but is getting even worse now that we got a huge batch of pozzed kids who got Nintendo Switches for Christmas.

Cowards.

What is that an image for ants?

wrong

cute

Don't worry. We're deporting them soon.

SHUT THE FUCK UP SQUIDDERS, FOR IT'S TIME FOR A SPLATFEST!


Dubs decides what team I join

I like comedy.

Favorite Color actually matches the choice I want to make

Is Trolling a form of comedy? What about revenge?

Both tbh.But I would definitely pick action since most tv shows, movies and cartoons are comedies and none of them are funny.

Pearl

cute

Agreed, the "LOOK AT ME IM A PIPE SMOKING FAGGOT" posts are annoying

Great. My drawing was a month too early.

Draw another one dummy, there was more than one terminator

Will do. :^)

And there are retards out there who play on +5 sensitivity.

I can't get a control setup that feels right, I'll have to try that, because the motion controls thus far have been like trying to use a damn wiimote, shit

The upcoming Splatfest is shared globally. Every region is participating, so the results will be coming in later than usual.

I guess we know what movies Pearl forced Marina to watch last month.
And apparently most of Splatoon's action movies star women. Or at least all the ones Pearl likes.

She's nice with turbo tits for sure at least.

Did they just (accurately) say The Bazinga Theory is shit?

I picked up a Switch the other day for this game. I'm use to playing on my friends pro controller and for some reason I keep accidentally signaling on the regular controller. The signals are those four buttons on the lefthand side, aren't they? I would have checked the instruction manual, but it seems there isn't one.

We need one more to do privates

For some reason i read Pearl voice like Sticks from sonic boom.

Pearl cosplaying as megumin when?

BLAMZIMBA

GET IN MUMBLE SQUIGGAS WE ARE 4 PLAYING NOW

Son of a barnacle. This keeps happening. I want people to tech me to git gud.

Anyone gonna watch the autists play the single player in ~30 minutes?

Booyah and come on are on the dpad

Fuck having to have a twitter account

The run was okay. It was basically just playing the game fast, not anything too impressive. I like those runs when they're short games like Hotline Miami, but hour+ runs are less fun.
I wish the Dance Party was more autistic. The absolutely shameful behavior of some speedrunners is basically the only reason to keep watching.

Yeah the run was shit I was hoping for anything interesting and there was nothing. I know some games are much better for running than others but this was just boring

TFE stop being a tyrant

No.

When I say the run was shit I should clarify that I don't mean that as the runner just fucked up being reprieve but rather that the game itself isn't interesting as a speed run game, which I learned watching that run.

Yeah I somehow completely missed the graphic at the bottom left of the screen. I'd like to apologise to all of the people I've accidentally signaled "this way" to. That pro controller is on my list of things to get.

Also what is woomy and why do I see it everywhere? Is this a Splatoon meme?
Also how do I get gud at drawing without the use of an arduino and WiiU Pokemon game pad? Are there any guides out there?

"Woomy" is one of the sounds that inklings make.
Unfortunately yes, it was created by redditors, unsurprisingly and has become the PICKLE RICK of the Splatoon fandom.

I use pure, unadulterated autism in my drawings. It takes me hours to do so. I also have no audience, whatsoever.

See:

I draw less and less often because there are a handful of established artists who will always get recognition, everyone else be damned, unless you shitpost instead. Everybody seems to really love shitposts in Splatoon.

I kind of feel action and comedy were a poor pairing. Wouldn't comedy and tragedy be better? Or action and drama?

Cancer and Furries

...

Still wrong, you fucking chode.

What's the difference?

goddamn Holla Forums get it together.

WOOMY SWAG

Look at this picture it's the best sister!

How do I brush, squids? I feel like inkbrush and octobrush are inferior to rollers in every way. Their coverage is underwhelming, their splatability is slow, and their utility seems to be lacking. How do I git gud with brushes? I'm awful with them.

Have some Marina porn by the guy who did Highschool of the Dead.

Use it to reel enemies back over their own turf instead of trying to cover with it, And make use of secondaries often

...

He's not saying action comedies are shit, he's saying action vs comedy is a shit match up

Almosty every brush player I've seen squids and waits for people to kill. The rollers seem to be a bit more balanced if you want good killing / inking capability.

Oh
well action vs comedy isn't really that bad; action films are more often made to be shlocky and grab the viewer's attention whereas comedy films are usually made to get easy laughs with a series of jokes. On the more well thought out end of the spectrum, action films are very dramatic and give you a sense of the world while comedy focuses more on a few characters dealing with non-beneficial situations. Just from tone alone, action films are made for a serious tone and comedy films are made for a lax and humorous tone.

Paging Kero to this post

Well, I can help you with the octobrush, at least
Think of the octobrush as a more consistent roller that lets you throw away any future your right index finger has for a solid balance of mobility and ambush potential.
You should focus on patrolling areas your team has inked and look to expand it while the enemy isn't around, then pop up and jump around like a diseased kangaroo splatting anything that gets into range, because of how the brush works you can also work your way up to various perches on the map and jump down while swing, which anyone would be hard-pressed to escape and even if they do, unlike with the roller you can just hold down ZR and try to weave out of the way or you can dodge through with you ink, because the octobrush cover more solid area in about the same amount of time. In Spla2n Ninja Squid isn't bad because while your ink area doesn't go far forward there is a lot, and you can play mind games with your opponent about whether you've swam left or right towards them.
But be careful not to press too hard! If someone gets away from you just back up and take more turf for your team, and find a new place to hide out, changing your hideout every so often if there's low traffic.
Also keep in mind that the brush will let you escape enemy fire more easily because you can swipe at your feet much more quickly than you can slam a roller.
Any questions about how to accomplish any of that?

Lean Cuisines are the shit, that red wine chicken is great.

How to I condition myself to be less aggressive? I really like splattershot and nzap, as they lend to mobile seek and destroy game play. I try to find conflict with the brush, and I get destroyed, naturally. Is ninja squid really worth it? People seem divided on the ability. I've heard people say they live by it, and others say it's utterly worthless.

Think more in terms of hunting than fighting. Start thinking in terms of patrolling and defending, start hiding out in place a bit more often and take some joy every time you drop down on someone and the jerk everywhere and you then understand that they never expected you.
Or, more easily, wait a little bit before you leap out and take in the scene. Can you sneak up to them in the ink or drop from above? Are you just barely in range and they have a charger you're confident weaving against? Are there three of them at the perfect cover distance that will just get you a trade? Just take a short breath before you leap and soon you'll get the hang of your effective range

Is it better to try to take the high ground every time if it's available?

Yes because your falling ink will trap and damage your enemies, just be careful of the ones who don't panic and try to escape.
Also be sure to center them in your screen

Splatastic.

You need to let the bellhat into your heart, squiddo.

I'm a real big fan of the straw boater, though. It grew on me. I use the takoroka visor when running octobrush, however. I have a lot of respect for you bellhat wearers. Double bellhat is baller, but not my style.

archive.is/MRoQO#selection-207.0-207.60

I'm PICKLE RICK!!!!!

Thanks for reminding me why I fucking hate the Octobrush so much. Fuck that thing.

First of all wrong thread and second of all the archive didn't make any rick and morty jokes when I looked just now and only said normie which is the normalfag way of saying normalfag. If you are trying to get angry at something at least wait until they actually do something. I'm sick anons keep bringing cancer from thread to thread and trying to turn this place into half-chan Holla Forums

Is it just me or did they half the run speed of the Range Blaster after this new level was added?

I meant the rapid blaster. They may as well remove the weapon from the game at this point if they're just going to keep nerfing it. Maybe I'll main the heavy Splattling again. I hear they made the damage output higher with this new patch.

Well said, user. Spla2n fags don't know what they missed.

I think user picked this thread as it's the closest thing to Nintendo on this board. I feel the problem is since lol threads are being spammed with furry shit, the cancer we try to make fun of moves somewhere else. Though asking the moderation doesn't help because instead of removing the furshit from the thread and/or giving an hour ban they just bumplock the thread.

Thank you
>14143752
Fuck off faggot she's fuckin cool with solid branding and a good look don't be jealous just because you have to keep your head down during the bad bitch roll call
sage for giving the faggot attention and thus going off topic

Would any of you fucks happen to know any chain stores with Wifi capable of running Splatoon 2? I bought my switch recently and apparently my fucking apartment complex decided to implement bullshit making P2P impossible sometime in between now and when Splatoon's last splatfest. Help

Have you considered moving or paying for your own internet service instead of using a communal one at your apartment? Have parents? Use their internet for Splatfest. Let them know you want to play the game where the children in spandex shoot goo at each other.

I figured action fans would be Michael Bay Transformers shiters, & that comedy fans would all be the Holla Forums trolls. I was right. I only lost 3 or 4 of my games on the way to COMEDY KING. Splatfest has never been this easy for me.

Charlie Chaplin wasn't an octo nigger. Action will avenge his name.

The only one out of those solutions that might be an option would be paying for internet service, but I still probably wouldn't be able to afford it or get it in time for Splatfest. I'm not looking for a permanent solution, just a quick one.

Action here. I did awful. Absolutely awful. I haven't under performed this badly since when I originally started the game. My whole team was pretty salty for the entire splatfest. I want to play with and learn from good players.

I think they might have rigged the splatfest for the octo to win.
I am consistently getting matched against teams with Level 4X comedy players on teams of 1X action teams

I saw a lot of that, too. Not to mention power levels. I'm a level 45, who plays with people in the mid to high 20s. Most every comedy team I was up against had at least a level 65, and the rest of the team was 45-50+. That, and we were frequently matched against teams with power levels 200 points higher than us. I felt horribly outmatched.

I'm not blaming my loss on this. I certainly need to get on and practice again, but I do feel the deck was horribly stacked against me this time around.

Splatfest results are in
The Global Action vs Comedy Splatfest has closed. No jokes were told, only memes.

This Splatfest made me have an epiphany.
TURF WAR IS A FUCKING SHIT MODE

It's weird, the most popular and main Splatoon mode, is actually the worse. Not as bad as Rainmaker, but pretty bad. But why do I say this? Well just look for yourself:


The moment I hit level 10, I have played nothing but Ranked. Have way more fun there then in Turf War. But during Splatfests, I'm not having fun because the modes I do like to play, are locked out and I'm forced to grind it out to get to King just so I get Sea Snails, then I stop playing until the Splatfest is over. This isn't fun. It's tedious.

So how to fix it?

But of course, we know Nintendo will never do this. After all, Nintendo things having basic online features on a fucking phone is acceptable.

At least splatfest calculates power level, but it's utterly worthless when their pairings are way off. How is power level calculated anyway? Win/Loss ratio? Level? Probably not level. I had 65s up against my team of 25s this splatfest. A lot.

Your splatfest power level is calculated from your wins and losses. Defeating teams with higher skill levels than you earns you more points, and losing to teams with lower skill levels drops your level hard.
I know the League battles also have unseen estimate levels based on your Ranked solo queue Rank, with S+ players having the highest starting estimate prior to their first 7 games being completed.

Thanks for the info. It still seems fucky since we were frequently mismatched in terms of power level. This was the least fun I have ever had in a Splatfest, and that's saying a lot since I lose most of them anyway. I need to git gud, and so do my teammates, but they don't want to put in the effort.

Yeah, fuck turf war. I'm still at level 9, just grinding to get past this at this point. Just had a match where a teammate had a combined thirty kills, yet we still lost because of turf war fuckery.

Here's what I do. Stay in one location. Get 10 kills. Lose the game becuase I don't understand I need to ink turf.

you just proved they made her ugly on purpouse

To be fair
The new way to superjump fucking SUCKS for Turf War, you can't quickly get an idea of what the area is around where they are nor see what's about to come towards you like you could on the wii u with two screens

Hence why I say, we need a minimap, so we can know before hand before we decide to jump. Otherwise, we're all gonna have to use Stealth Jump for the rest of the game.

Turf war is the best mode and squidiots thinking that it's a team deathmatch and crying because they lose their deathmatch are hilarious.
I challenge anyone to make an argument for why centralized objectives are inherently more competitive or inherently better in a gameplay sense than the cover all/cover a majority objective.

First of all, please consider killing yourself/checking these digits.
Secondly, having a clear cut objective leads to smarter gameplay then in Turf War.


All four of these gamemodes have different ways to play and clear cut goals that are marked at all times. You don't have to spray the whole battlefield like an autist, but if you do, the game rewards you buy giving you more flanking routes, giving you Special charge, and slowing the enemy advance to the objective. What strategy is there in Turf War?

Color me surprised.

Super Cop is significantly worse than Police Story 1 and 2.

I just got to level 11. The grind from 10 to 11 was much shorter than from 9 to 10. Here's why, no turf war. Back at level 9, I'd play a few matches, win one, lose one, and ultimately just get annoyed that at least one person would either become a statue, or would leave, so we'd be stuck with three people on our team. Alternatively, in the three minutes of the match, one or two players would play like complete retards, only treading on area we've already covered, I assume they were "protecting" it, just to be killed and have all of the land taken from them. I honestly thought about quitting the game entirely, except for the occasional Salmon Run or single player. Then I hit level 10, and what a change that was.

At rank C-, playing Rainmaker, the matches usually went pretty short. Rush the Rainmaker, either grab it, or protect the person who has it, and run your way to the end. Simple. Yet I was actually having fun. I liked how a match could either be a 30 or so second skirmish, or a drawn out stress inducing match. I was still playing with retards, but it didn't feel as painful half of the time. I'm now excited to play the other modes, instead of dreading Turf War, wondering if I'll ever boot the game again. I just ranked up to B- for that mode, but I haven't played a match at that rank yet, and I believe the modes just changed a few minutes ago. What should I expect at higher ranks, and how should I make sure I git gud?

Don't you mean albino squids, considering they don't seem to know funny guys like Jackie can still fight?

Centralized objectives are less 1v1 dependent, which when TTK is as low as it is in Splatoon means more competitive.

Unfortunately, very little changes at higher ranks, because rank in Splatoon 2 is a lie. The system is built in such a way that everyone will eventually get to S+, and actual matchmaking is done with a hidden MMR because Nintendo is not willing to tell people they're bad. League battles are slightly better because they actually show you your ranking, but a small player base and soft region lock (you can get matched with players outside your region, but it tries to find a within-region match first even if it's a huge mismatch) drags it down. This is probably the right decision given that lag is more of a problem than it was in Splatoon 1, but it's still frustrating.

Not the guy you're replying to, but inking turf is the objective in turf war. It's okay if that's not your thing. Some of us actually like that it's a clusterfuck becuase you're forced to move around. I do believe the server attempts to even out the teams becuase my friend and I are equally matched and there isn't a snowballs chance in hell we ever end up on the same team. Don't take turf war too seriously and you will have more fun with it.

Did anyone else fall in love with Michele Yeoh after seeing her kung fu because I did.

That's kinda impossible during Splatfests, as you're supposed to take that shitty mode seriously as this time, every win matters. Hence why Ranked Modes need to be added to Splatfests.

Fair enough. Just realize what your objective is and plan for it accordingly. Killing people does matter in turf war, especially if you can do it right before someone gets a special off. Alternatively, it can also help the other team if they haven't fully inked their spawn. The bottom line is, good players will wipe the floor with you no matter what mode you play.

...

Is the nerf a big deal? I only just now started running Forge Pro.

Hell no lmao

Just run special charge up you'll be fine

When using the forge use Special power up that shit increases the size, damage and radius of the bubbles

I have some special charge up and special power up dedicated gear, but I have yet to actually use them. I feel I need ink saver main, which I lack, because I'm so used to splattershot and nzap.

Actually, on that note, what's better for Splattershot Pros, run speed up or ink saver main?

(checked)
Are you only able to consider random matchmaking with TW but for some reason add league to your consideration for the quality of gameplay with ranked?
There is always a clear cut goal in TW. I understand you are able to clarify the objective of the ranked modes but it appears you consider mockery to be a valid means of dismissing TWs clear cut goals. And let me point out that you acknowledge that there are clear cut goals for TW, which immediately invalidates this argument of yours.
You also list the benefits of covering turf such as gaining special, slowing the enemy, and route options as if covering turf in TW doesn't do all of those things.
Your argument seems to break down into you appearing to have never put thought into TW so you claim that there is no possibility of thought being put into it. You actually ignore the fact that you can team with people and strategize in TW and pretend that this is exclusive to ranked, which is interesting considering the strongest part of your argument of yours hinges on the supposition that you cannot team in TW. (the other portion of your argument is a claim that you yourself refute later in this same post) Your claims are baseless. Your arguments hold no water. I'm not sure if you're aware but you should be able to tell who is winning in TW by the size of the squids up top

Care to substantiate this?

Either
Ink saver main or Ink recovery as a main ability.

I'll show you my builds later down the thread.

Fuck that makes me mad… Like wow, I played ARMS at a kiosk in walmart and was thinking about getting a switch because of it. Had some fun, MinMin was thiccthicc, and it looks nice. But MAN treehose is just killing it when it comes to cringe in their game and being unappealing…

Also, didn't overwatch just release an edgy evil scientist lady?
hmmmmmmm…

I'm moderately interested in Splatoon.
I like the idea of looking fancy and shooting the floor.

How is the online? Is it stable? Is it fucked?
Is it worth full price if i'm ultra casual?

Online works just fine. Except during Splatfests.
Turf War is a casual shithole, but hey if that's your cup of tea, go for it.
The Single Player and Salmon Run are also great. But it's fucking retarded you can only play Salmon Run during set times.
Problem is, it doesn't add enough from Splatoon 1. But if this is your first time playing Splatoon, then Splatoon 2 is worth it.

Centralized objectives funnel players into a smaller area, meaning fights usually involve multiple people from each team. Turf War spreads people out all over the map, which means you are far more likely to end up in 1v1 with an enemy player. 1v1s can be decided by all kinds of things that aren't particularly competitive (a good Splattershot Pro player will probably never lose to a Splattershot Jr. player of similar skill in 1v1, for instance–they're both good and useful weapons that can contribute in team situations, but in 1v1 the Pro hard counters the Jr). Low TTK also leads to 1v1s sometimes being decided in a way that's not particularly skill-dependent–when you can kill someone in 1/6 of a second, the one who gets the first shot off is likely to win, and there's not much you can do to recover or escape if someone gets the drop on you (dualies are the one exception to this). This is why there's not a 1v1 ranked duel mode in this game.

Turf War > Rainmaker > Tower control. Fight me, bro.
That's where you're wrong, friendo.
Alternatively, the assholes who play turf war and get 0p and a 1.0 (or worse) KDR make me rage like a 1000 suns every loss. The whole point of that mode, and honestly the sheer brilliance of it, is that painting is the fucking point. Killers like you should be in ranked, it is where you belong. On purpose. By design. Turf war is for casuals, kids, and those of us with OCD who just enjoy the painting for painting's sake.
I am a very thorough painter in Turf War, so while you might think I'm fucking around in the first 1/2 of the match painting "on teeny tiny spots that mean nothing", I average more wins than losses every night. Why? Cause my team is the one that squeezes out that win by 1-2%. I'm also that asshole who sneaks past you to focus on painting and doesn't go for combat except when needed
I know that feel…
Fucking this.

It's pretty stable except for Splatfest, which is always fucked, and will always be fucked.
The game certainly has those things going for it.
>Is it worth full price if i'm ultra casual?
Turf War attracts a lot of casuals, and they tend to match you with people your approximate ability. I stopped playing for two months, except for Splatfests, and I had regressed terribly, only to find myself among higher level players, who pounded my ass. Salmon Run is a cooperative mode, which is casual friendly, or at least attracts casuals anyway. Ranked matches are okay for casual trash as well, as they match you with people of similar skill level, until you get to higher ranks, where it's good players mixed with absolutely shit players. I'd probably stay away from league matches, as they're match you up with the full spectrum of players by skill level.

you fool that also means mother

Mother has a long a fool.

bilingual jokes, on my Holla Forums?
it's more common than you think
がんばれ

McDonalds has had a good history with Nintendo, so maybe it'd work there. They even have special hotspots and stuff for 3DS, or at least they did last time I went.

Decided to play some Turf War. One dude on our team decided to be in squid form the entire three minutes, spamming "This way!" at the spawn. Nick, you're a cheeky fucker, and it was fun losing with you.

Okay, it just happened again, but this time it was a couple of other people. It's fun fucking around once in a while, but losing constantly gets old quick, and my weapons rank should only drop so much. Kinda sucks to get over 1000 points and still lose hard.

I teamed with some guy twice in a row during Splatfest who did that. I was pretty salty about it.

...

You guys still jump on the Mumble? I'd like a couple of pointers, since I'm bad at the game, and I haven't played anything outside of Salmon Run in a month and have become more shit as a result.

have you tried not dying?

GitGud

I just got a switch and was thinking of getting splatoon 2 soon. Is it too late to really get into it, or is it a good time? Is the online dead or still active?

It's still alive and active

That's good. How long did the first splatoon last? It only lasted like a year, right? I am just worried they are gonna dump splatoon two soon.

Splatoon 1 is still populated user and it lasted more than a year

Should I get this game if all I want is a fun singleplayer experience? Is there a story/lore/things to dick around and to dick alone?

It does have a Single-Player story, but everyone considers it an extended 'tutorial' for gittin' gud at the Online modes. If you're not spending 99% of your playtime online, then this game is not for you.
The lore, on the other hand, is Donkey Kong levels of deep.

Damn, I just finished BoTW and needed a singleplayer game to just chill with.

Would it even be safe to dick a squid?

Try the demo for Rayman Legends if you want some comfy platforming, or Snake Pass for comfy physics puzzles (and weird controls).
If the port of Hyrule Warriors was out, I'd recommend it for maximum comfy (once you beat the main story); just stay the fuck away from Fire Emblem Warriors, it's nowhere near as good.
If you want the opposite of comfy (but still great), try vid related.

If you avoid the beak, yes.

Excuse me,beak? as in bird beak?

You tell me.

What the fuck man.

oh come, how that hell did you know know about that?

Not know*

...

the giant zipper is fucking annoying too

I want to dress my inkling in what looks good, not whatever has the best fucking miniscule stat increases. Should I be picking a gun to use as a main? I'm finding every match I change weapon and they all suck equally. Why did I post this >git gud is the reply

Wear whatever's fresh. Use whatever weapon you want. I use Splattershot, N-Zap, Octobrush Tri Slosher, and Forge Pro. I'm looking to get better with more. Seriously. Wear whatever you want and use whatever you want. There are trash and good players alike, and it doesn't matter how you're statted.

sounds like a GOOD WAY TO FAIL! Thanks for the encouragment; this is the first game I've played ever with multiplayer because reasons. Now how do I feel less embarrassed for not being able to draw on my post thingy

welp that ain't the correct picture

Is there a preferred controller for splatoon 2? I heard the pro controller is pretty bad, so I thought i should ask. People told me the joy cons hooked into the grip or using the free joy cons works well.

I can't imagine the Gyro in the pro controller being too terribly different, I don't own one however, in the grip is nice and as far as separate it's kind of hard since only the right Joy-Con aims.
Also as a quick aside, do any of those wired pro controller clones have gyro, I somewhat wanted one but I'd prefer if it had Gyro

I saw one clone one that did. There is a JT one that has it apparently.

I just got a switch should I get this game?

Everybody in my group bought pro controllers. We all love them, except for the price. I actually think it's my second favorite controller ever.


Yes. Come play with us. It's fun. What have you got to lose, $60?

Motherfucker. These games are $80 where I live. How do I leave this cucked nation?

Stop buying video games and save your money. Are you a fucking leaf or a straya cunt? It's not like the US is a magical place to live. Most everyone is dirt poor and in debt.

I play Splatoon to help combat the crippling depression.

Just do what Haitians do, Get a door and a tire and float on down to somewhere else.

Hi I'd like to point out, most people who are dirt poor and in debt have no fiscal sense and tons of outstanding debt.
It's very easy to be doing well off in america if you aren't a retard with your money.

Doesn't apply to me, and I'm still broke as shit. I live a minimalistic lifestyle, and am still pretty broke. I pay my bills and can save a little every month, but I am definitely not well off.

Only if you're not white.

...

I bet, poor americans. zuz

I don't why nobody posted this sooner but the next Japanese splatfest has been announced and it's a tie-in to the Splatoon manga.

Who do you support?:
THE CHAMPION OR THE CHALLENGER

WHAT? Tell me more.

They even read it on the official Nintendo channel user

I dunno, you think the Champions could dodge Challengers

Challenger has a chance since Nips love their underdogs.

...

WOOO! We made it to 19!

...

Congratulations. That's pretty amazing. I wish I still played this game and got gud like you.

Thanks, user.
Ya know if you wanna get gud you should join us in the mumble. We might even have enough to start doing privates again soon.

I had asked previously, and I had been told to git gud on my own. My friends don't play anymore, so maybe I'll stop on the Mumble again. I keep deciding not to.

Also, how many hours do you put in a week? I stopped playing almost entirely, except for the occasional Salmon Run.

I'm not really sure maybe 15-30 per week but we're just playing for fun. I also had 1000+ hours in the first game so that helped.

What are you doing right now, Con?

Hey we get a new map tomorrow!

...

:^)

I did and it just vanished from the SD card for some reason
Like really it's totally gone and I can never edit it again

Did they buff the aerospray or something? I hated it in the first game, but now I love it. Also, how does this sound for clothing abilities? Ink up on one, ink usage for main weapon down, main usage for sub weapons down, two subslots full worth of squid speed, and one subslot full of reducing what is needed for the special.
