It *can* be fun when you lose, but only if you lost in an interesting way. A straight curb-stomp just makes you feel bad about yourself and/or your teammates. The dejection of the losing music doesn't help, tbh.

And the hours it takes to finish showing all the unskippable post-game stats. Just start the next game already!

I wish they were savvy enough to have an auto-queue toggle. Something like where it could match you up with players for another match during the post-game and then after it sends straight you into another game.
 
Geez, I'm having a lot of trouble with the final boss. Feel like I can't cover the ground fast enough so I can't dodge efficiently. I guess I should upgrade my weapon but that will require some grinding...
 
Got the game last week, but just starting diving in today. So is Aerospray MG the meta? Because so many people were using it, it seems like there's a nerf incoming.
 
Just lost 7 times in a row in Salmon Run before a win. Trying it handheld, with the current weapon selection, with a dc (by another player) in three of the games didn't help. Still can't help but to love the mode. I wish it was on the whole time.

No it's not. Just a strong alternative for beginners but soon becomes obsolete when you start facing better players.

The carbon roller is reeeeaaally bad, and i feel like this map needs a good roller cause the map is so compact.
Click to expand...

Carbon Rollers aren't as strong and you'll probably have a hard time running over most enemies with it. I mained it in the last game and was more of a "smack" weapon like the inkbrush. If they didn't nerf the flicking speed of it, that's probably going to be more effective than rolling.

You can scrub maxed out gear clean from merch for like 20k. Otherwise, you can't toss an old equip unless you are replacing it with a duplicate(which may have a different main ability). You can't sell equipment either.
Click to expand...

Question: if you scrub a piece of gear and then use it again, is it just random each time you get to the upgrades again? Or is it locked into the original upgrades you got. I assume random but wanted to double check.

Question 2: also uhh has anyone found where to get a ticket for swim speed +probability in the campaign?

I wouldn't say I had trouble with the final boss, but it did take longer than it needed to for me because I didn't upgrade any of my weapons lol. Watched my roommate beat the game with the weapon upgraded and I was like "ohh thats how it was intended". makes it much, much easier. you can cover the ground faster, and you can shoot the boss
fists back at him
even faster

How does one get 1000+ points (b4 win bonus) ?
I get like 945 tops
Click to expand...

I've noticed that if one person is getting 1000 before bonus, the rest of their team or at lest one other person really sucked. When I am winning in turf wars, all four members have between 800-600 consistently, meaning everyone is doing work and not just one person.

It's rare to see someone break 1000 and have the other three members with respectable scores.

Aerospray is a great way to quickly spread ink and rack up points. One or two players with that gun can cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time and they have a decent set of sub/super weapons. They are at a real disadvantage when going against players who can out range them though. It's not OP at all, but because people have limited access to weapons as they start leveling you'll see an abundance a few weapon types in Turf War.

1) It will be random unless you use 10 chunks to assign a sub slot.

2) I have no clue

Yeah, the poor firing rate is what's messing me up, guess I should go ahead and replay some of the maps.
 
Also very much loving this game, my fiance and I have been playing since launch. I definitely under estimated Salmon Run, it has been so much fun. I only wish it was just open all the time. 6am - 6pm doesn't do much for me as a working adult.

What are you using? Aerospray will help, though I started getting that with the Splattershot now too. Smarter play I guess?
Click to expand...
Splattershot.

Just wondering if there is another way toget more points. As the other poster said. If the whole team works well then totals are less/more devided.
 
Stupid teammates. Shit teammates. WTF??? When I have ALL the grillers on me, and I'm convienently exposing their weakpoint to you, why won't won't you hit it. WHY! Three of you were facing the weakpoint, and I didn't have the charger. So one of you did, and did shit. Because of this, I lost my Professional status :| No one died, we just ran out of time. I had the grillers on me, the whole time. I attacked them when I could, but you just can't do anything if you are the one being targeted. Sorry I just need to vent.

Shouldn't be taking that long then. If your situation doesn't change you may need to hard reset I guess.

The fuck. This would be the second time my switch froze today...and I just opened it today.

Edit: It started downloading just fine with it undocked. Wtf man, why is my switch freezing while docked???

Flyfish are the fucking worst, especially during high tide!!
Click to expand...

They're the leading cause of wipes for me. The hardest boss to defeat by far, incredibly stealthy and deadly when paired with another boss to serve as a distraction.

If I see two Fly Fish and we've reached he quota, I just run out the clock.
 
Joining friends can be buggy, I joined someone and the lobby on my end showed 8/8 people but it timed out and said not enough, but my friend got into the match with 8 people.

So was I somehow in the twilight zone?

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.
 
Had a nice 12-game winning streak today (regular battle). 27 wins/15 losses so far. Game is awesome.
Unlocking gear with more than 1 slot is really slow though. Zero so far at level 9. And how do you earn the resources needed for the gear upgrades/re-roll and the food truck?
 
K' Dash said:
gotta tell you pal, you didn't too good either... I consistently get 1000p+ even if my team loses, also, you had one disconnect, of course you were going to lose.

I have lost 3 times by 0.01% with 2 players barely above 500p, THAT fucking sucks.
Click to expand...

Oh I was not blaming anyone. We got stomped and had one DC as you said... just a bad experience and not fun - but that's no different to other shooters. I just thought this is fun even if you lose, like I got told.

How exactly does the freshness bonus work? I've only noticed it once but wasn't really sure what triggered it.
Click to expand...
I've gotten it many times, but I'm still not sure. I think it has to do with consecutive wins, or the freshness bar, since I usually get the bonus when I hit "SUPER FRESH" which is like 15 or 16

Yeah, that should be all.

I think I was only around 7 or 8 when it triggered for me. I think I was even still Dry or whatever the default level is.

Same, if possible at all.

Wow just had a Salmon run with 3 Flyfish at the same time, at the start of the wave. We didn't last long...

Grr why didn't I skip C rank? I won like 10 in a row.



Aerospray MG, baby.

Also, where the hell is the inkzooka? Did the strip it out with the Kraken? Too OP?
Click to expand...
There are no returning specials from Splat 1.
(though bomb launcher is basically just a tweaked bomb rush)
 
Had an interesting team in Turf War. One player kept using the "Ouch..." line when they were KO'd and... that's actually a pretty good idea. So we all started doing so, giving everyone a rough idea on where the enemy team was pushing forward. Since, you know, you can only say "Ouch..." when dead.

I keep rolling Special Power Up on my three slot gear, though. That seems kind of useless for my playstyle. Would rather get Run Speed or Special Charge or something like that.
 
Totally new at Splatoon.

It's a really interesting game. I'm still trying to figure out good strategies. Trying to balance holding the middle vs going deep into enemy territory vs defending your home base is a hard balance for me to maintain.

I like to play the ink brush. It seems good for going deep into enemy territory since it's the only way to run through enemy ink quickly. But whenever I go too deep, it seems like my teammates lose control of the middle. So I'm not sure what to do.

I noticed that the game is veeerrryyyy finicky about wifi connections. When I'm in my room I get disconnections every few games but if I play in the room next door, which is right above my router, or anywhere downstairs I have absolutely zero problems. I don't have any connection issues with other games though, just seems to be Splatoon 2.
Click to expand...

I'm using an Ethernet connection in docked mode and the DCs keep coming, my internet connection isn't great but it was the same setup as my Wii u and it was fine. Concerned I'm going to get an online ban so I've dropped out to single player after any dc.
 
Tacorona72 said:
I believe all the bomb rushes are still in the game.

Edit: The only Suction bomb rush set I've seen so far is on the Firefin Splat Charger.
Click to expand...

Oh, cool. Well at least there's that I guess.

I'm not used to the specials yet. The seem...not as good as Splatoon 1? But maybe that's just because Inkzooka, Bubble and Kraken were so OP. The curling bomb launcher is awesome, though, and makes it even harder for me to stop using the Aerospraty MG.

yeah the specials in the first game were kind of broken. you'll see that stuff like the inkzooka, bubbler, and kraken have returned they're just much more balanced. the ink jet is basically a balanced version of the inkzooka, the ink armor is a balanced version of the bubbler, and the BIG BALLER is a balanced version of the kraken.
