Just saw a Miiverse post saying that Callie and Marina are girlfriends. Did I miss something in the updates or story mode?

They're cousins, so... I hope not?


edit for new page: I HATE having to work all day with the knowledge that salmon run will be closed by the time I get home. I just wanna play the game I paid for, Nintendo :c
 
Biggest problem with the current rotation of Salmon Run weapons is none of them are very good at dealing with steelheads or drizzlers.

What are you talking about? Jet Squelcher kills SteelHeads no problem. And isn't the Splattershot Pro there, or am I mistaken?

In any case, it can't be any worse than fighting a SteelHead with an Inkbrush and a Roller.
 
They had all of those Tumbler posts leading up to and after the release of Splatoon 1. Do they still do those?

Fun fact: Every single one of those is cataloged in the art book. It's kinda nuts.
Yeah, they still have Tumbler posts, they'll probably continue to have them to notify players of new weapon and stage launches.

They are very close but i doubt they are girlfriends or something like that, they are cousins after all. Would be weird.

I think the name Squid Sisters says it they are like very good in terms sisters relationship wise.

I feel like the weapons are pretty good at dealing with individual threats, but fall apart pretty hard when it comes to swarms of enemies if your team isn't focusing on the same group.
 
I don't have a lot of problems with Splatoon 2... But this Salmon run stuff has to get addressed. If you're going to put it on rotation, fine, but make it a full 24 hour. And maybe available all weekend too. It's just too fun and interesting a mode to lock up so tightly.

Yup i agree like always with that, hopefully they will adress that soon enough! The 12 hours sheduls are very meh and in the weekends it should be available all day imo.

Honestly i would not even mind if they just open it up for 24/7 for a while, while the playerbase is still big atleast.

Callie and Marina not Marie?
 
Callie and Marina not Marie?
O lol damn xD.
I dunno about that tho. I have not collected all scrolls yet in story.

Anyway uhm.... They really need to increase the friend limit to 500 or 1000 i'm already near 100:/ i hope that happens when the Paid Online system is there cuz on Playstation you can have 1000 friends i think or atleast 500.

Someone is confusing Marie with Marina. Not sure who tho.

Seriously. Thank you so much for taking the time to just reply to me and be helpful instead of confrontational or questioning my motives. I just wanted to know why I was doing not so good.

You sharing that simple fact about the game led to this on my first match knowing this.

A Victory and 1st Place. I for real was going out of my way to ink up walls thinking everyone else was just ignoring them. Now I know why, and I hope to be on a lot more winning teams as a result.

Thanks again.

Not to rain on your parade, but since you like knowing things, you won a 4v3. The person on the other team had 0p, which means it was a disconnect. Just as a heads up.
 
I swear I keep getting grouped up with the absolute dumbest people on Earth

"Hey there's a Steelhead...we need to get rid of him"

"Nah, let's not"

"But why?"

"We can just let it stay alive and keep killing us...that's the best way"

It was 3v3. The 1000p on their team was also a DC. You get a free 1000 for winning, so if you see just a flat 1000 on a winning team, it means they won with 3 players.
 
group wipe with 2 seconds left because the last person refuses to help anyone...awesome

Helping people in the last few seconds is always lethal and ends badly. Just run in circles!!!
Or if you want to be revived always run/swim towards the remaining member. Don't asked them to help you, if you are surrounded by a pool of enemies!
 
People ignore walls way too much in Salmon Run

Swimming up walls will save your life all the time

Yeah first thing I usually do is paint the walls, I figure other players are less likely to forget about them when they're painted.

Also very important for getting eggs back to the basket when salmonid have gooped up all of the main lanes.

Yep! I always make sure I go for the walls when each match starts. Very useful for making a quick getaway.

YES. I always make a point to coat the walls. Especially around the egg basket, when applicable.

+1. Really makes all the difference.

Salmon Run "secret technique"! I used to go for kamikaze saves and it always ended in tears.
 
Got S rank in Splat Zones last night and then in Rainmaker this morning. It's been a frustrating climb with so many teammates who ignore the objective, I won't complain too much since the game has only been out a few days.

Here's my favored equipment for ranked battle. I won't worry too much about customizing until I can actually add my own slots (I'm only level 22 at the moment, so I have a way to go still).

Damn! I'm impressed. I'm still stuck in the A ranks. I've had those same teammates. Worst part is, everytime I win with one bad teammate, I move that player up in ranks to ruin more people's games.

It's a grind, and a lot of luck in who you get on your team. Overall, I've noticed way more good than bad once I got to A-. Bs and Cs were just awful. Those folks just shouldnt play ranked, or should I least read the rules.
It's not even bad play skills. It's just ignorance of what they should they be doing.
 
After 1200 points, all that's left for rewards is grinding shirts for ability chunks right? I think I'm good after getting the second super reward.

It's funny, when I complained about this people got on me. It's not fun when newbies ore anyone who is at ready for rank will hold you back, practice firsth than join rank when ready
 
Okay so question here, I got a splatoon 2 Amiibo, do I have to use it every day like BoTW to unlock gear? I only got one piece of gear, not a whole set like all the websites say it unlocks.

Is it really first if you get 1000 extra points? Top player was actually on the other team.

Salmon Run got 2 really good tutorial levels. Ranked should at least get 1 for each mode to teach people the do's and do not's.

When not to Super Jump is a good one, especially. I still see people do it on me when I'm deep into enemy territory.

Or maybe one that tells you to look at the effing map, or pay attention to who's alive.

Or here's a big stretch: A tutorial about going after the objective and nothing else in overtime. I don't know how many times it's been tower control or rainmaker, and in overtime someone is far off painting stuff or fighting irrelevant enemies.

When you scan it the first time you'll get the head piece, then you have to play (or win) a bunch of games to unlock the rest. Not sure how many exactly. Just once in awhile after playing a bunch scan the amiibo again.

The last thing you'll unlock for each amiibo is a song for Ika Radio 2 (the rhythm game on the arcade machine)

I pretty sure I'm not the kind of people you're talking about, but it could be interesting to gather a set of advices for ranked modes. Not the basic "don't jump in a middle of battle", but actual strategies.

Maybe not. My issue isn't "this person hasn't mastered the mechanices yet?! git gud scrub!", but rather "this person picked up the rainmaker and ran backwards to our own goal when the only objective is to do the opposite".
Just things that show someone isn't ready to learn ranked modes, but not that people are still learning. Learning is fine.


I would love if they had real competitive advice for ranked. Especially since Nintendo wants this to be an esport.


Even better, I would love if they either let me pick my teammates by adding Squad/Twin to Ranked, or if they decided to judge rank up more so by individual performance rather than 100% on team win/lose results.
That way better players get ranked up quicker, and can leave the people who aren't that good yet alone to learn. Everybody wins. It's literally what other games try to do.

Even Mario Kart 8, though the matchmaking algorithm itself doesn't work well, has a better design to it's rank system.
This is solely because they start everyone off at 1000, rather than 0, like Splatoon does. Good players go up. Better players go up faster. Folks who need easier opponents drop in rank appropriately.
By starting everyone at the bottom, you make this separation process take longer, and produce inaccuracies.
 
I love how the most obnoxious t-bagging in all competitive shooters was designed by Nintendo. lol

Its based on your level. If you're level 10 or higher then you'll unlock full sets from the get go. I think 10 is the highest you need but I might be wrong.
 
Is the Carbon Roller stronger in this game? I didn't think it could 1-shot in the first game.

It still shouldn't. At least in training it doesn't.
You won't 1-shot someone by rolling in Splatoon 1 or 2, but in both, you can 1-shot someone by splatting.

Not sure if it's stronger or weaker, "normal" splash is weaker, in-air splash is basically the same as in 1, but at the same time there's no increase defense for the opponents (that could avoid a 1-shot), so it could be kinda more powerful. Though there's the matter of the range, it's very different for the in-air splash.
 
Damn when water rises to it's higest point on this Salmon Run map while being on the highest rank. Shit is tense af love it.
 
Maybe not. My issue isn't "this person hasn't mastered the mechanices yet?! git gud scrub!", but rather "this person picked up the rainmaker and ran backwards to our own goal when the only objective is to do the opposite".
We've probably all experienced this, indeed...

Wanted to kill a teammate yesterday, he thought that the rainmaker was a bonus to do splats... I love the 50 countdown ;)

Well, I was suggesting that experienced people here could suggest things that work or don't work in ranked. I'd like to get better, but I'm not sure I'm doing the best choices from a strategic point of view. I've seen plently of studies for CS, LoL and the like (I'm not even playing those, but it's interesting to read about the strategies), I'd like to see similar studies on Splatoon.
 
When I'm using any other weapon in Turf War, I'm a team player. Ink the spawn, cover turf, support when I can.

Then I switch to the Heavy Splatling and all I want to do is ice a motherfucker. With varying degrees of success.
