Splatfest is next week, and it will be a full 24h of turf wars only.

Gotcha. Didn't even realize it was next week.

 

[Pastry]

2/10 Salmon Run wins tonight. Yeah I'm done with these weapons

 

[Merchandise]

How could anyone use this ass blaster or the heavy machine gun or the brush? When the roller is the best one you know the weapons are f*cked.

 

[Pastry]

Theee needs to be a requirement for Salmon Run weapons that there has to be a Splattershot or Dualie variant.

 

[JershJopstin]

My first S+ match was a victory. This is intense...

 

[Haines]

I havent tried tonights salmosn run, but i prefer they make it tough sometimes bc salmon run is kind of easy.

It should be a challenge sometimes, and just a cakewalk others and everything inbetween.

Kind of easy? Since the game came out I've won maybe one of every six or seven games.

SR is fine as it is, requires good teamwork this way.

 

[Mediking]

Marie is just standing there and looking at me like... "Are you ever gonna come back to singleplayer?"

Me: "NOT ANYTIME SOON.

 

[Wiseblade]

They get temp banned...just not on a first offense. Why is this so hard for some of you to get

I know, but I'd be okay with a zero tolerance policy. Use that downtime to sort out your connection. Damaging the experience for 3-7 people outweighs upsetting one "innocent" person.

See my post above. There's literally nothing I can do outside of switching to a wired connection, and I've still gotten a couple DC's. It's unfair to everyone else, but the fault is certainly not on my end.

It sounds like you know what you need to do. Playing online when you're prone to disconnects is just unfair to everyone else.

You can say that about any weapon kit lol

Point is without a premade group it is harder than it should be I've won 3 games in 255 out of 10

 

[B-Dex]

I think I'm going mayo.

 

[lt519]

Spoke too soon we just lost 3 in a row haha

 

[Mediking]

Dude named Brandon was wearing Samurai looking gear and using a roller. His defense was high. I had the drop on him like 3 times and he still killed me!!!

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Nearly done with Octo Canyon. The bosses so far have been pretty neat!

Spoiler

Octo Oven was... alright. Interesting design, but kinda dull as a fight.

Octo Samurai was a blast; Hero Roller vs Octocycle is the way to go, feels like a proper duel!

Octostamp returning was interesting; surprised they managed to make him a credible threat this time!

Octo Shower was probably my favorite so far! Such a weird design and yet one that makes sense; wasn't expecting him to be a sniper! And that Handcrank Splatling was a shock too!

Y'know what I'd love? Some Octarian weapons for DLC!

 

[Pastry]

So is this weekend Splatfest?

Prone? It's been two since launch, and nothing in any other game. I'll be doing it anyway, though, as I find it about as amusing as my teammates do.

 

[digita1alchemy]

The Salmon Run weapons are perfectly adequate if everyone is on top of their weapon's role. Of course, playing with randoms is a crapshoot no matter the weapons selection.

Defense Up isnt an ability in 2, only in 1.

In 2 its sub defense up.

I mean I got to where I am because the other weapons were easier to use for other people
The inkbrush takes 4 hits to kill a big common mob for fucks sake

And this is at profreshinal 250-255 so you can imagine how that works

The weapon kits are random and not predesigned so you are bound to get crap like this once in a bit so I'm understanding of that but coming off a quad shooter salmon run to This is like lol

 

[Merchandise]

When people use their specials for no reason on the first round... Y

 

[Chasetopher]

Spent a ton of time in League and Ranked today and have been getting incredibly stressed. I felt really off today anyway, so I suppose I'll try again tomorrow, but any general tips strategy wise of working with people you can't speak with?

Gotta be fast on that ZR trigger. I'm a wall of death with the brush.

 

[Milennia]

Gotta be fast on that ZR trigger. I'm a wall of death with the brush.

It doesn’t exactly work like that when at this rank it’s nothing but a boss and special round rush, there’s never a normal round

The only thing that weapon is actually better than anything at in salmon run is running away after you meet the quota

 

[Merchandise]

Got the superbonus, now I'm getting the F*CK outta here for the night. Maybe if I have more patience tomorrow I'll do it again.

 

[Vic]

One more for Salmon Run, we're on a roll!

SW: 6346-8346-6894



Nah, we're killing it, 80% success rate right now. Just gotta work your roles.

GG guys. We did decently considering the batch of weapons available.

 

[Pastry]

So it Splatfest going on right now?

 

[Jintor]

fuck failed out 12/13 orbs at the last round

 

[JershJopstin]

So it Splatfest going on right now?

No, next week.

 

[Pastry]

No, next week.

Oh okay!!

 

[Merchandise]

By the way, does anyone else think it's cheating that bombs still go off multiple seconds after the match has ended?

 

[lt519]

Was a little rough, but thanks for joining!

First time a couple of us had seen a Mothership or Goldies so those rounds were quick wipes.

One of the turret rounds my cat stepped on my keyboard and it switched my TV input to PC and we wiped by one egg haha

 

[JershJopstin]

How can it be cheating if the devs intended it?

 

[Jintor]

this is insannnnnneeee, 3 flyfish on that final round

 

[Shauni]

I think this is easily the worst combo of weapons I've ever seen in Salmon Run

 

[Merchandise]

It's gotten to the point where I just leave lobbies that have snipers in them. F*ck that.

 

[Pastry]

I think it's pretty fucking shitty that you barely get coins for a loss in ranked.

 

[Anteo]

So what makes the tri slosher good?
I was doing great with a charger but I switched to the tri slosher and my god its so good but idk why.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Make Mayo great again!

I figured everyone was doing ketchup so I went the other route!

 

[Shauni]

I think it's pretty fucking shitty that you barely get coins for a loss in ranked.

Spaltoon's level up system sucks for that kind of stuff in general.

 

[Mediking]

It's like I'm getting one shotted...

 

[*Guaraná]

Finally an online game that I don't suck! Splatoon 2 is just amazing!
Loving it.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Pearl: "But at least mayo is true to itself. Ketchup is just wannabe Jam."

 

[HeroR]

How could anyone use this ass blaster or the heavy machine gun or the brush? When the roller is the best one you know the weapons are f*cked.

The machine gun is awesome, especially in crowd control. It's the Blaster and the Blush that screw people over.

 

[Mediking]

!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOOOOOOO!!!

Just saw a drawing of Ann from Persona 5 on a wall in the Plaza!

Persona fans playing Splatoon 2 ;_;

 

[theifofdreams]

Uh, how do you join the splatfest? I picked mayo but the only game mode is regular turf war?

 

[Mediking]

Trying to draw an anime character on the Switch.... arghhh.... how are people doing this? ;_;

 

[Malo]

It should have been mustard vs ketchup in the splatfest!

#teamketchup

 

[Da-Kid]

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..

 

[Toadsili T]

Uh, how do you join the splatfest? I picked mayo but the only game mode is regular turf war?

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.
