Splatoon 2 |OT| Fresh Squids 2 Go

The Reef is such a clutch for horrible players. I've had two games in a row where a teammate refused to jump down from the safe ledge.

EDIT: Moray Towers. 3 teammates run into enemy territory, get splatted, and I'm the last line of defence between 4 enemies and our base. Ugh.
 
Any paintbrush in Salmon Run, though...Octo Brush is the real shitty weapon in this set.

It's fine as long as you focus on what it is good at, killing chum and small fry, running eggs, and melting certain bosses like Scrappers and Stingers.

I notice a lot of people really underestimate the importance of keeping the chum and small fry under control. They are the #1 (indirect) cause of my deaths mainly due to messing me up when a boss is in close proximity.
 
When there are three possible routes to the Splat Zone in Musselforge, and your teammates keep running down the middle to die....

Edit: A- in Splat Zones now. Never wanna see B again there.

Congrats. The hardest one I had getting through was A+, my glass broke twice when I was trying to get to S...
 
Yeah, maybe the Goo Tuber is the only bad one right now in Salmon Run. The others aren't bad, but maybe people just can't use them well, or at least whoever I'm getting matched with.
 
The comic relief currently playing Turf War has helped speed my recovery today.

Oh, I get it now. It's 30 chunks for the last in a set of three. I thought it was just 10 for the first you place in that piece of clothing, then 20, etc. Was confused why everyone was going to spend 30.

...This is going to take awhile.
 
I got a pro controller yesterday and, only in Splatoon 2 mind you, I have this issue where it acts like certain buttons are being held down. For example, when I go the weapon menu, the cursor will constantly go to the left. I looked it up and it seems like other people have had this exact issue and it is an issue with the game itself. How weird. I can fix it by going to sleep mode and waking the switch up, but it comes back.

I didn't see you on the discord but I wanted to say GG's from earlier! Your brush is something else ⚠️
 
first time playing Salmon Run, was quite fun, but found it rather easy actually, was that because I am still an apprentice?

Also, where do you go to reclaims prices (the one in th colorful balls) that you win once in a while (each 100 pt I think?)

You go to the window next to the Salmon Run place in the Town. Yeah, it was easy because you are new. It gets HARD. The biggest challenge in Salmon Run is getting good teammates.
 
Caved in and ordered a Pro Controller. Maybe my performance in ranked (outside of my connection penalties) will improve with it instead of the grip.

Hopefully I make it there. I mean admittedly it does feel easier climbing in this game compared to the first, but A was where I capped in Splatoon 1 @_@
 
Good lord is it frustrating to get a group that clearly doesn't know how to play the Mothership mob... on the first round no less. Like, how did you get to Profreshional without knowing? lol
 
Wait, no love for Rainmaker? That's the secret best mode right there.

That's the mode that will cause me to have an aneurysm. So many times where I inked up to the podium while spamming THIS WAY, only to see that the person with the rainmaker walked the opposite direction.

I'm sure the mode is ok once you're out of B+ or something. Not going to risk me having a stroke playing to get out of C though.

Actually I've only ran into it like.. 3 times, max. Didnt come up at all until I was in profreshional.
 
Gravy train is over in Splat Zones. A few losses nearly cracked my meter and then the rank-up only went from B- to B.

A few wins in Rainmaker pushed me from C- to B- there too.

What in the hell did they do to the Luna Blaster? That weapon is absolute trash now.

I personally didn't see the mothership until after I had gotten - and then lost - Profreshional. First match back in Overachiever, there was it was... And not one of us knew what to do lol.

Most people seem to know in Profreshional, though, I'll admit. But it is possible to get there without seeing one.

Understandable. While it's probably overall better that League doesn't affect your rank like Squad did in Splatoon 1, I wish it did for situations like these.
 
Does anyone here have the new Splatoon art book? What are your opinions on it?

It's amaaaaaazing.

There's so much cool art and other fun stuff in there (social media posts, comics, etc). I think I only got it for $20 from Amazon, but I would've easily been fine paying the full price for it.
 
Didn't realize you got extra XP if you had a Freshness Bonus. Noted for the future.

I also managed a victory on today's Salmon Run out of 3 attempts at Overachiever, so that's good enough for me right now. Better weapons would mean more progress

Thanks! GGs to you and GuySloth! Fun games. :)

Glad to get practice with experienced players, the brush finally kinda clicked for me today. It seems like it should be really sharky and rushdown but it has to be played kinda patiently with the bombs. Lots of movement traps, baits, splashing around, etc. The bombs feel really really important to that weapon... I think I have been playing brushes wrong the entire time. People are sleeping on the weapon, since Octobrush is so good.

Is it just the translated Japanese one?

Wondering if it's worth double dipping

How was this map received in Splatoon?

Looking at this video, you really can see how graphical inferior Splatoon 1 is to Splatoon 2.

Plus, screw Charger in that mall level. I still have nightmares.

Omg it's infuriating. God forbid you try to dunk the rainmaker yourself. Trying to break through a wall of guys while your teammates are in the middle inking turf
 
A mix of fun games and annoying games today, spread between Salmon Run and some GAF-turf. Favorite moment of the day probably came during a particularly hectic second wave of salmon where time was running out and we were still short of the quota, with like two teammates down already. Figuring we were already screwed, I decided to go for broke and dualie-attacked a Drizzler. Nabbed one of the eggs and made a mad dash through a messy ink-field and hit the basket right in the span between the screen flashing 1 second and the mission timing out in failure. The clutchest finish! We went on to clear the third wave too and although we didn't collect a ton over quota that game, it was super-tense and satisfying to pull off.

Then it was back to turf war where I tried out a bunch of stuff that didn't work very well. Still don't have any weapon that I actually like using on Moray Towers. Carbon roller hitbox continues to be a thing of mystery despite my love for the rest of the kit. I still can barely find any way to actually get anything really useful out of the baller special. I guess for now it's time to cut back on the experimenting and buckle down more of a focus onto the couple of weapons I already know I like.
 
Has Nintendo said yet when they're dropping this B- requirement to play with friends? Or allowing friends to play something non-ranked other than Turf War?

I admit I suck. Two weeks later and I'm still bouncing between C and C+, never getting over that hump. It doesn't help when I'm using the Slosher grabbing 21 kills and the rest of my team manages a total of 5. WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING ALL MATCH! Sigh.
