Split and Splat- Chirpy Chips (Splatoon 2 girl)
Hooked- Hightide Era (Splatoon 1 squid)
Sucker Punch- Hightide Era (Splatoon 2 squid)
Bomb Rush Blush- Callie
Tide Goes Out- Marie

You need to beat the game to unlock amiibo access for Callie and Marie
 
Woke up and I see there's a patch. Didn't update because I have an idea what it's for lol. Gonna farm some more tickets then update. I need more coins at this point.
 
Flingza roller is pretty wacky- it seems to sacrifice killing power for better turfing.

My testing revealed that the kill distance is dissociated from the inking distance, even more so than the standard roller. Standard roller can standing swing and splat at 1.5 lines, the flingza just over 1.0. For jumping swings, the flingza ink path is much longer as advertised. But the effective kill distance on jumping swings is only like 1.75 for standard vs. 2.0 for flingza (vs 3.0 for dynamo).
 
Heavy Splating or one of the variations worth using? The base Heavy Splatling has a terrible special, but I’m hoping another variation will have a better mix.

Kind wish the songs unlocked were able to randomly play in matches and not just squid beats 2. Everyone being able to hear them too would be amazing since theyre already in the game files.
 
Damn. Any way to delete only the update on the digital version? If you redownload it they put the update in the eshop download, which is actually really smart !
 
2-3 players per team on turf wars use the aerospray because of the bomb rush being so good.

Its definitely not fun to see every single match.

The game isn't balanced around turf war...

It's not in ranked for a reason. That weapon is barely ever used in the competitive modes.

Aside from the last two, I'm pretty sure that they will add them in a Splatoon Classic update somewhere down the line. As you said, they're already in there. (Also bring back the classic Now or Never song too)
 
Any way to get rid of the update?

The only way would be if you have a physical copy, archive the data.

If you have digital if you had the game install on system and the update on the SD, you could pop out the SD.

That's it as far as I know. Any other ideas?

And this for sure will not delete my saved data?
 
Just had the perfect rain maker match.

Dashed straight to the rain maker with my ink brush. Broke the shield since I was the first one there. My teammate picked the rain maker up. Then I dashed straight to the goal with my brush, and my teammate followed me to victory.

The brush is awesome when it works.
 
Is anyone else bummed by some of the updated music as compared to the versions they had for the trials?

I really liked Rip Entry when I first heard it, but they tried to hype it up in accordance with Splatoon 1's music or something, and it sounds way worse now, like, to the point where I don't even like it. :/

Wish there was a way to listen to the original. It kind of taunts me to know that it exists, but that I never get to hear it in game and have to hear the lame version.
 
Man I've been having a hell of a time against Octobrush's in Turf Wars. I feel like I die instantly against them every single time before I even have enough time to react.
 
Loving the rapid blaster. Dudes charging me with their aerosprays and dualies, I'll just sit here out of range shooting over cover

Can teammates see enemies that my mines tag?
 
Had an embarrassing moment in Rainmaker last night. I grabbed the Rainmaker and saw a clear path towards their goal. Enemies rushing in to stop me, but I swam and jumped past all of them, then just when I was about to score the slam dunk and feel the glory, I found out I wasn't holding the Rainmaker at all..
 
Kill two people next to the Splat Zone. Other two chase after me. I kill one as I go down. I look at the map. My three alive teammates aren't even near the Splat Zone.

Thanks for doing literally nothing.
 
Ok so what's the technique or whatever for getting the other pieces of a set from my Amiibo? I got the headpiece when I first linked it. I was told to re-scan at the big amiibo package in the town square over and over again to get the rest. I scan today (it's been a few days since my first scan) and the guy is just like "hey wanna take photos?"

So I have to wait 24 hours and try again just to be told "too bad!"
 
Ahhahahah, had the foresight to disable wifi before the update. Now I can farm tickets to my heart's content before updating. Nice.

Don't you get the gear at <10, level 10, and level 20?

Not sure the exact amount, but it's tied to either a number of games played or games won AFTER you initially scan the Amiibo. Level doesn't have anything to do with it.

So you have to scan the amiibo, be friends and whatever, then start playing games.

You can do this with multiple Amiibo, you just have to do the initial scan to get the first piece. I forgot to scan my Splatoon 1 girl amiibo and got her stuff much later than the rest of it.

I had this one minute Rainmaker run when I built up my special, popped the rainmaker shield, my teammate picked it up, used my inkjet and bombarded his pathway to the goal and he just swam all the way through without getting impeded. It's really fun to play rainmaker as a support when your teammates pick up what you want to do.
 
The Black Inky Rider + Jellyvader Cap is, uh... A little too much leather for my tastes. Can't tell if my Inkling looks like he's in a biker gang, or just came from the dark underbelly of Inkopolis. It's not a bad Tri Slosher build with the 2 mains of Sub Saver, it just looks kinda dodgy.

The bowling shirt is so ridiculous, I kinda love it. Love that they gave it a big wonky wrist guard. Fun for brushes.

If it makes you feel any better the diminishing returns on triple special up is not very efficient

Yeah. But it was still a bit obnoxious in Turf Wars, with Tri-Slosher being kind of a momentum-driven weapon. Those inopportune Ink Armors drove me nuts.

After you scan it for the first time, go into the Amiibo tab in the options and save your current gear to that figure. After that, scan it again and it should give you the rest of the unlocks.
 
This game does a horrible job with making competent teams. I'm barely ever in a close game. Constantly put with terrible players.
 
I blame myself for not even looking or reading up on it.. but bought this for the kids and spent the last 20 mins trying to figure out how to do a local game.. and then realized local meant multiple Switch's.. not split-screen.

Fucking hell Nintendo. A game like this screams for some split-screen action... as egregious has taking Split-screen out of Halo.

Yes the first game didn't really have it either.. but I expect better from them.

I ain't buying a 2nd switch and a 2nd copy to play local mp.

It just wouldn't work tbh. You'd be stuck with 1 vs 1 local battles, since online battles would probably force the game to run in 30fps instead similar to splitscreen mariokart. Also i can't imagine how chaotic it would be with ink and bombs flying all over the screen.
 
(Ending spoilers)
Damn, a bit disappointed that Callie was indeed brainwashed and that they didn't tie in the final Splatfest. I always enjoyed that theory that the final Splatfest broke up the Squid Sisters and turned Callie bitter.

Final boss was also waaaaay worse than Splatoon 1's. Octavio's fight in Splatoon 1 was unbelievably sick. It was on a whole 'notha level. Here it's just an arena battle. Maaaan.

Pretty surprised that Off The Hook made no appearance in the story. Squid Sisters truly do reign supreme.

Still had more fun overall with this campaign than Splatoon 1's.
