A freaking social media account is REQUIRED to even post drawings for others to see in the lobby??? OH COME ON!!! Nobody cares about Twitter and Facebook!

I spent a good yet frustrating while trying to draw some anime... but I can't post it. Lol

 

[molnizzle]

I have some complaints about weapons.

The slosher needs way more spread landing than it does, it's too much of a straight line

All Brushstrokes need a damage buff, especially when you're directly hitting people with the brush.

Also, this game has some very picky hit detection..

So you'd buff the two best weapons in the meta right now...

okay. lol

[theifofdreams]

You can only choose a team and unlock the abilities on your splatfest tee right now. The Actual Splatfest doesn't start until the designated time next weekend; the TV Screenm you use(d) to choose your team tells you when it starts and ends, local time.

Ah gotcha. Thanks!

Nintendo wants that free advertising.

It's also a semi-quality check to make sure you're not posting nonsense that you'd be embarrassed for people on social media to see.

lmao r u kidding me

Miiverse was way more popular.

 

[Mediking]

lmao r u kidding me

When I'm playing the game... the last thing I wanna see is some stupid gate that blocks me from doing something IN the game because of a social media account.

I don't care for Facebook or Twitter at all.

Really dumb that you can't even post drawings without having a Twitter or Facebook. Like seriously???

Just make a dummy twitter account to post to? Really not that big of a deal. You really need one these days for quick exports of screenshots (and GIF's on PS4).

 

[wiibomb]

Just got the game and I've been playing for hours.

Yes, I missed the good old splatoon fun.

Salmon Run is brutal, it has been pretty difficult for me to keep up, specially witha weapon not particularly good at crowd control like the brush.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I forgot how your suppose to revive someone in Salmon Run.

Ink it... just shoot ink to the life saver. From any distance

 

[Fantastical]

People playing Salmon Run are fucking terrible.

 

[Jintor]

god most useless dipshit rainmaker team i've had for a while. every time i had the rainmaker these fuckers were goofing off on the other side of the map

 

[mStudios]

If the enemy team is on overtime, they shouldn't win by points, only by KO.

So unfair.

 

[Jintor]

fucking c- rainmaker garbage players don't know what they're doing, leave them to try and get the ball and where the fuck are they?!?!?

i've got to get the hell out of this hell rank

 

[Branduil]

Yeah three straight round 2 losses, what were they even thinking with these Salmon Run weapons. Not playing any more this time since the only thing I'll get out of it is a de-ranking.

 

[Jims]

Played a lot of the Dualie Squelchers. I really liked the old Dual Squelcher and played basically no Dualies so far, so it was a weird experience. That roll, man...

It's a fun weapon, but the bullet spread frustrates me a little at range. The old Dual Squelcher was extremely accurate with its paint line. You kinda want to take advantage of its range on this weapon, but its bullets go all over the place, hitting them gets kinda dodgy and RNG-based... Hitting anyone on those Port Mackerel crates was a big guessing game. You gotta get a lot closer to get reliable hits, but by that range, I may as well play Splattershot or N-Zap.

The dodge roll feels good to pull off but there's a lot of end lag on it. I found myself rolling backwards more often than not, as lateral rolls would just get punished.

I liked putting a bunch of Run Speed on the weapon. Reminds a little of playing the old N-Zap '85 from the first game, with its Point Sensors and stuff.

Yeah, true...

 

[jrDev]

Wait with Splatfest being about mayo (yellow) and ketchup (red), does that mean we will be using red ink then? That's the only color I don't see in this game...

It looks like blood; this is a children's game made by Nintendo. You should be ashamed of yourself.

How are they two of the best?

 

[Wiseblade]

The second they lose control it's over. You only have to stop their push for an instant, I'd say it's a fair trade.

2048 triangles later...

 

[Toadsili T]

Looks like Splatfest Tees only cost 2000G to scrub. Good way to start racking up some ability chunks for cheap!

Japanese Version, but only screens I can find right now...

 

[Wiseblade]

Looking at the stage schedule, it seems that Salmon Run is up more often than it's down. That's a start at least. I'm not SUPER fond of the mode, but it'd be nice to always have it available when the mood strikes.

How are they two of the best?

The tri-Slosher and Octobrush are dominating ranked right now. Things will settle once there's a wider variety of long range weapons (the Dualie Squelchers should help) but right now things are one sided.

 

[panthapanda]

Should I keep my Hunter Boots with Stealth Jump or pick up the faster respawn one on Splatnet?

 

[C.Olimar788]

God I love the new Dualie Squelchers. They fix the single problem I had with the original Dualies - range - with little to no downside as far as I can tell. They are So Good.

Ah, the Splatoon 1 datamining is back.

There are 4 new maps currently unused in the latest version.

 

[bargeparty]

Dual squelchies ruining this game.

 

[The Cowboy]

They got Mayo and Ketchup backwards, Marina is totally a Mayo dipper and Pearl is clearly a Ketchup dunker.

 

[itsinmyveins]

Quick question: How well does the game hold up as a single player experience, if at all?

 

[panthapanda]

How are they two of the best?

In ranked where most of the enemy team is within close proximity of each other, and it takes only two splashes to kill? Yeah, brushes and buckets can wipe out an entire team in an instant.

Can literally just dump buckets of paint and win.

Quick question: How well does the game hold up as a single player experience, if at all?

I would say not worth the full price. I'll consider it a rental. Multiplayer is really what the game is about. There's enough content to get you a good 6-10 hours on single if you 100% it.

 

[audio_delay]

I cannot believe people are still standing still if they get killed in salmon run.

 

[Unison]

In Salmon Run, when do you get the new shirt?

I played enough to get to the shirt icon (1400 pts or something), but don't seem to have the shirt.

The only thing left on the progress meter are more shirt icons... what do those unlock after I've hit the first one?

Dont buy it if you only want to play the super short singleplayer

Go to the booth to the left of Grizzco and ask for your bonus

Go to the left of the shop and you can redeem there. There's nothing but shirts past 1300 right now, you can trade the extra shirts for coins or ability chunks

 

[kitschbeam]

I just had a very intense last wave on Salmon Run. Someone managed to hit the quota just before the timer hit zero.

Btw I hope more people use the D-Pad voice command more often. Please spam the Help signal when you die and This Way when you see a horde of salmon or when you need help.

Each shirt has the same design but the abilities and unlocked slots vary. You can trade them for cash (if no unlocked slots) or ability chunks (if there are unlocked slots) assuming you already own one.

Claim your rewards on the left side outside of Grizzco.

Does your gear only level up when you win?

It always get xp, just a lot less than winning.

 

[random25]

As long as you gain experience your gear also gains points.

 

[Unison]

Thanks for the help, guys!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Only babies use ketchup.

Mayo team fo sho.

 

[Riposte]

Ketchup is a condiment in the same sense a poptart is a breakfast food. Nothing more than a vehicle to pump your body with more high fructose corn syrup while adding an overwhelming sugary taste to actual food to go along with sugary drinks and lowered life expectancy. Only obese children eat ketchup - they put it on their hotdog-flavored rat-meat hot pockets and other microwavable "goods". Just eat some tomato slices, like a fucking human. Mayonnaise is eggs, vinegar, and oil. Much like mustard, it is an adult condiment for nutritious meals.

We can take this to the Splatoon streets.

You ready to lose?
