Games are only 3 mins. By the time someone gets matched, and loads, they're not going to have a whole lot of time, and we'd probably see loads of people complaining about only getting to play the last 30 seconds of a losing game.

Even having somebody on a team for 30 seconds makes a huge difference! Missing one player in this game is automatic loss as far as I'm concerned.

How do you get tickets for Crusty Sean shop?

Nobody's going to want to be placed in a game in progress that's been a man down for half of it.

 

[derFeef]

Oh you can quickly switch shops once you are in there without loading times. Thanks goodness.

 

[Ridley327]

I don't believe you can back out of an ARMS match mid match and close the software

it's a simple solution really, just restrict being able to hit the home button during an online match

ARMS locks you out of the home menu while you are in a lobby or a game, you have to hold the power button to rage quit, so if you are playing docked you have to physically get off your ass and do it

I honestly didn't know that, though I haven't picked up ARMS yet, so that explains that.

Well then, I think it's clear that we might see that in a patch in the near future if it's already been implemented.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Slosher is such a devastating offensive weapon, but it's nerve-wracking being aggressive with it. You really have to master that sweet spot where you can splat dualies but they don't quite reach you.

 

[Ozium]

"oh, they have the tower at checkpoint 2? let me paint the other side of the map, fam!"

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

It's right there on the landing page, scroll down

That ain't a schedule lol, I want to be able to see times of future Salmon runs so I can plan when to play

 

[Crash331]

Bleh I just noticed GrizzCo is only open until 8 tonight. Was it like that yesterday too? I know during the weekend it was available like 22 hours a day.

It was totally closed yesterday.

 

[Vecks]

You can find some in story mode and get them as rewards in salmon run.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Man, I changed the motion control sensitivity from 2.0 to 1.5 and now I'm killin it. Game's finally clicked with me, I found a weapon I like (the zapper) and now I'm just slaughtering fools and coating stages.

 

[ChrisD]

I think all the kids are in Salmon Run now. I've never played during "normal" hours before, and Randoms have been surprisingly smart. This past hour? Ehhhh...

 

[JonnyKong]

What are the best tactics to using the hamster ball? I really want to master it.

 

[KingSnake]

After two desperately close wins (decided practically in the last seconds) I think it's time to go to sleep:

Either I was lucky tonight or the players in the ranked mode have been filtered out slowly in the past days, because today I had less dumb matches than the days before. A lot of close matches and a lot of people who know what to do.

 

[exfatal]

"oh, they have the tower at checkpoint 2? let me paint the other side of the map, fam!"

people suck, had that happen to me just a moment ago -_-

 

[mazillion]

Man those waves of machines with tails and laser pointers can be tricky. It's hard to coordinate with randoms which to focus on when there are multiple at once.

 

[SciencePilot]

Salmon run times are so tragic. Ending right when I get off work

Hopefully they're modified in the future. It's sad living on the edge of the world.

 

[ChrisD]

What's the highest you can get as Profreshional? Is this where 200 is the cap ala the interview with the Devs? I'm at 180 right now.

 

[Jims]

I wish I could stockpile some drink tickets. Trying to get ready for after the Splatfest so I can start grinding out those ability chunks en masse.

(Also am trying to save lots and lots and lots and lots of money for that grind.)

Slosher is such a devastating offensive weapon, but it's nerve-wracking being aggressive with it. You really have to master that sweet spot where you can splat dualies but they don't quite reach you.

I like them, but they're so awkward at short range, though. You miss a slosh at short range and Splattershots just immediately bop you on the head. Them and blasters are so spacing-dependent, they're easy to mess up horribly with.

 

[Maxinas]

The Octobrush is becoming my favorite weapon to use in any ranked mode. So many times where i've splatted the entire opposing team when they huddle around, and do not pay attention to the autobomb i just threw. The amount of ink it spews out overwhelms most shooters.

 

[blu]

Dualies are such ink guzzlers it's not even funny.

 

[flipswitch]

Yep. Very handy! Just use the shoulder buttons and that's it, no loading!.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Sometimes I love this game:

Sometimes I hate this game:

 

[RedFyn]

Flyfish can get fucked. Completely immune to everything but bombs, and they also take two bombs? Nice job making them impossible for one person to kill them before they get 2-3 volleys off. Too much, Nintendo. Everything else seems way more fair to fight.

What do you mean by volleys? Because they're open long enough that you can throw a bomb, refill and throw another before the lids close. Sure they get the one volley off but that's comparable to most of the other bosses if you take them out quickly.

[Hugstable]

Salmon Run is so much fun. I hope they make the times longer sometime or just make it available all the time, I could play this all day

 

[JoeInky]

Profreshional 999 is the highest rank if I remember, pay rate caps at either 425% or 450% I forgot.

 

[ChrisD]

oh

Thanks. A lot higher than I thought!

 

[JoeInky]

An endless mode with leaderboards for Salmon Rush would be sick.

Yeah rarely do you have time to sit and wait without having to shoot something else. At least not at my pay grade

 

[King_Moc]

Just managed to splat an entire enemy team in Tower Control. All four names on the screen at the same time and everything. That's a first for me!

 

[exfatal]

Ywah some sort of leader board would be cool maybe for like a league type salmon run

 

[Ridley327]

An endless mode with leaderboards for Salmon Rush would be sick.

...I really hope they do this at some point.

 

[KingSnake]

Ha, I forgot about that guy. Although this looks more like Salmon Run than ranked mode.

 

[The Technomancer]

Man the weapon selections in Salmon Run are bullshit. I don't know what you're supposed to do when you've got a laser tower on one side of the map, a rocket launcher on the other and two of your dudes have a roller and a goddman bucket

 

[Neiteio]

Trying to find a piece of concept art — does anyone have a clean version of the art seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h1TLaxlfQw

 

[ZugZug123]

Damn Splatoon phone app. I keep checking the gear on sale at work and there is always something new I want to buy ...

 

[goldenpp72]

I cannot understand why the gap in ability is so vast, I seriously wiped out 3 or 4 of the other team multiple times and they still end up just.. Being dead all the time.

 

[forknknife]

I really don't understand how a game this fun gets any 84 metacritic. And not only is it fun, the graphics and sound design are just incredible. Is it just because it's a sequel? Not fair in my opinion. This game is a high nine to me.

A bucket and/or roller can solo a Stinger with no problems at all. Skyfish should almost always be a two-man job to take down, and in that case, it doesn't particularly matter what weapon a player has since the grenade is the key.

Rocket launcher uses nades to kill anyone can do that, tower anyone can kill too, the roller and slosher can actually clear a path through trash really fast for people to get to those also

Imo it's more fun than Overwatch (that game got 90) so yeah i agree deserves 90 meta and scores atleast.

 

[RedFyn]

Priorities. If you want it gone you focus it. And if you don't get it done the first time around just be ready for when it opens up next. I'm not saying it's easy but I don't think it's unfairly difficult either.

Splatoon seems to be a weird one for most game journos

The problem I'm having isn't killing them its getting to them, both of them can hit you from so far away and the bucket and roller feel slower at churning through the mooks standing between you and the boss

 

[Equanimity]

How do you get tickets for Crusty Sean shop?

Maybe there's another way but so far I've only got them by completing the SP stages.

 

[QisTopTier]

Just have the roller run through everything with bucket bro doing swimming jump shots over him

That alone clears even the bigger trash guys very quickly

They are some of the fastest weapons for killing trash mobs it's pretty much their main responsibility

 

[Takat]

Yep. Very handy! Just use the shoulder buttons and that's it, no loading!.

The animation between is also jazzy and nice.

 

[AmayaPapaya]

If I get a person disconnect during salmon, just cancel the game. I don't want to play at that point.

Nearly 20 websites gave it a 9.

84 is a great score mate, it's all good.
