On my best days, I can be an absolute assassin with that weapon. Whew.

Don't ask me to use a roller though lol.

Yeah, I just need to spend some more time with it maybe. I love the ink armor but I wouldnt say it is the best special for Turf War.
 
The beret's nice. They had that on a couple of days ago. I wish it didn't have that clothes-pin in the side of it though.

What's the ability on the hunting boots? I haven't seen one before. Looks like some sort of stealth ability?

There also is the beret from splatoon 1 wich is also available in this game that one looks nicer imo. Also 4 slots by the way.
 
I really want to recommend the Splatoon Hybrid case to everyone. Looks great and with a USB-C extender cable you can get rid of your dock and have it nicely displayed

Wait, is this the one they sell at Gamestop? How exactly do you get rid of the dock with it?
 
Stealth Jump, hides your cursor or something like that when you are jumping

Stealth Jump, hides the little marker that appears when you super jump.

Also, that's a Splash Mob item, their brands main ability is Ink Saver (Main), so it's a good pair of boots if you want to grind ability chunks for that one.

Wow, that seems incredibly powerful. Is it 100% invisible or can an observant player still see a little something to let them know you're incoming.

Right now I'm rocking a nice pair of black pull-ons with Ink Saver (Main) as the main ability, but if I can get these and super jump with impunity then fuck yeah, I'll switch in a heartbeat.
 
Got the .52 Gal last night...good lord that thing is a beast. I'm looking forward to getting the .96 Gal, that was one of my favorites in the first game.

If there are players near by where you are super jumping, they can see it. It is only invisible from a distance.

Yup, here's the case:
http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-sw...n-2-hybrid-cover-case-only-at-gamestop/149532

Buy this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IEHQL7G/?tag=neogaf0e-20

You push down the tabs inside the dock and connect the female side into the dock. Then you plug in the other end to your Switch. It's a great case, comes with a kick stand and looks great!

EDIT: I realize I said you can "get rid" of your dock. This is incorrect. I just pushed it out of view behind my TV. That's what I meant, you don't see it. You need to have the dock because the end of the USB-C extender is plugged into it.

Ah, that seems much more fair. Any idea on how much of a distance it is? If it's only invisible from charger range or something I won't bother.
 
I just realized that the Drink Menu at Crusty Sean shows what brand gives a higher chance of rolling a special ability! I won't have to keep looking online for a chart.

For example Tentatek items a higher chance of rolling Ink Recovery Up when you level them, and you can see the Tentatek brand icon in the upper right corner. So many small but awesome improvements in this game.

Ah okay. Still, this seems pretty cool. And since that case is still on sale I should go pick it up...
 
My go-to weapon in Splatoon 1 was the Dual Squelcher. In Splatoon 2 I played Splat Dualies all the way through Ranked until I unlocked the Jet Squelcher, then switched to that the rest of the way. The new Dualie Squelchers sound so perfect for me, sub and special included, it's downright silly.
 
Okay, this made me laugh


Anywho, I keep trying different weapons. I was a T.Splatershot player mainly I think in Splatoon 1, but man, I absolutely love the Splat Dualies in this game. The dodge roll, the Tenta Missiles, so good. I'm even warming up to the Burst Bombs, which I never really cared for before (in comparison to other subs).
 
Nope, that's locked. That's why Splatnet is really cool, because you can get different main abilities than the default ones sold in stores.

Hmmm i will keep an eye on Players, Splatnet and the ingame stores then. I really want some cool/nice looking clothes for my squid but with nice main abilites too.

Thanks!

This is one of my favourite things.
Like the Beret I got through Splatnet the other day has Special Saver, while today's is Special Charge Up.

If i buy that one will it replace the older one? Cuz that one seems more useful overall got enough special saver on other gear.
 
Couldn't this potentially overheat the Switch?

?? How. The vents are on the open end. Or because it's running through an extension USB? I notice no difference in charging times this method or on the dock. I've picked it up after a few sessions of running the dock, no heat on it at all. So it seems completely fine, and I'll let you know if it catches fire!

Here's some more pics with the Joycons attached:

I haven't tried, but I'm guessing it will replace your previous one. I imagine your previous one will give you ability chunks, but someone else will need to confirm.
 
I played like 5 games with all Japanese. I love how they play. At the beginning they don't cover the base. They all run to the middle quickly. So my Aerospray's special builds up fast. I run with them and use my special quickly in the middle. When I die I come back to the base and cover it up to get lots of points since they wait later to do the base.

That Shipyard map can suck if the other team dominates they come all up in your spawn. I love it.
 
I mean I understand but Splatoon is very hyperactive while ARMS is a new IP that needs a similar level of hyperactivity to survive.

And no, I don't consider unlocking a boss character as new content DLC so ARMS needs to try again or go into the wooden crate of failed Nintendo IPs because make no mistake, Splatoon 2 is cannibalising ARMS at the moment.
Arms had a new character, new Arms, a new stage, added stat tracking, spectator mode, and a new lobby type. I don't know what more you expect by now.

The game already shipped over a million so I doubt it will be considered a failure.


I think someone said you'll need Sea Shells that you get from Splatfest. Maybe they're not called Sea Shells exactly....
Super Sea Snails
 
Let me just say that I absolutely love people in the enemy team who still believe they have to bring the Rainmaker back to their own base

And are probably thinking they're so good at evading us entirely until they're on their podium and nothing happens

Yeah I hope there's more ARMS coming out, but it feels like a good package as it is now.
 
I wish the SplatNet app would tell me more Salmon Run stats and available times / maps / weapons.

This app seems to think Salmon Run isn't part of this game! (or am i just missing where it is located?)

I love how Salmon Run MADE you do a tutorial to understand how to play. They should've done a similar thing in Ranked, force you through a quick tutorial so everyone understands how to play.

I ranked up from C- to B this morning in Splatzones. Man the N-Zapper is so awesome in Ranked. It has an awesome subweapon, the sticky delay bombs, and the its super, invincible armor, is so useful. Plus it has great range and fire rate. Zapper seems to be really really well suited for the ranked modes.
 
If you order another item on splatnet it will cancel your original order unless you have picked it up in game already.

I haven't tried, but I'm guessing it will replace your previous one. I imagine your previous one will give you ability chunks, but someone else will need to confirm.

Yep. Murch will ask you which one to keep. You don't get ability chunks like the Salmon Run shirts though.

Thanks y'all!
Welp time to look out for good main abiliies from now on:P i bought whatever looked cool first before having that in mind. So cool that is all cleared up now.

And glad you can replace old gear in a way if needed.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Really cool of them to change things up and get you to keep checking SplatNet.

I think I might get that beret actually. I almost always have a positive kdr in matches, so special charge up is probably better than special saver. It's a shame everything is so expensive though.

Nah, it's not there.

Really should be. I obviously assumed that Salmon Run info would be the number 1 use case for the stupid app.

Ah, I'm just dumb. I thought it was this HORI case and just left open so you could plug in the usb.
 
Can someone please point me to a chart that shows what all the ability icons in this game mean? It's incredibly frustrating going on SplatNet and not knowing what some or the ability icons are and not being able to find out anywhere
 
Hey, maybe they'll update it one day to include that info.
lol.

Nintendo actually has a good track record of updating their games to respond to "fans". I mean, they even went back and updated Codename STEAM, a game that nobody really purchased after it got trashed for having slow wait times. I believe they'll come back to the SplatApp and improve it.... it may just happen in 2018 lol

https://pvplive.net/c/splatoon-2-every-single-gear-ability

This link is the only one I could find that explained all the abilities, including the unique ones, with pictures.

Here is the basic abilites identified in a chart, like I said I couldn't find this for the unique ones.

I complained about the same thing earlier lol. They need to explain the abilities on the App too because I can't remember them all.

Well its been answered.
 
Uh... I hate every teammates who use aerospray in rank, they are always outranged by enemy and keep dying, failed to fill their special and became useless.
