My favorite one, taking out the steel eel, only to be killed by the second steel eel that suddenly pops out of the ocean in a high tide. Troll.

Or you're heading toward the salmon that spreads ink only for a steel eel to come from the water, not you have to kill it while dodging the spray that stalks you.

That's when you realized the game hates you.

"NO. BAD GAME. THERES NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR 2 STEEL EELS AT HIGH TIDE."

I'm ashamed. Game is incredible though!
 
So, furries are taking over Splatoon 2 and it looks like Gaf is encouraging it... what are we even doing.

Made it to Professional 200% last night. Love Salmon Run.
 
I know this has probably been asked a thousand times so I apologize for the redundancy, but...

Is there a reliable way to check Salmon Run days/times for the next week or month or whatever?
 
What's the biggest difficulty spike in ranked? Is it going from A to S?

Base S felt more chill to me than A+ did, tbh. The difficulty swing was only in that they slowed down progression to +/- 5 for every match instead of +/- 10

Didn't go far though because the first time i obtained S, i lost it, then skidded all the way back to the bottom of mid-A before working my way back up, and knew it was time to stop (ended at S 35 or 40 in Splatoon 1)

They are abundant, but nothing too egregious is being drawn. So there's definitely some kind of moderation going on whether its actual or moral.

And you spelt Profreshional wrong. That's going on your quarterly performance review.

The closest we have is going to the X menu and looking at the Stages tab. The next few time frames are listed.

Salmon Run is amazing and i find it dumb too i rather have the funny memes/jokes back.
 
Rapid Blaster users: how are y'all utilizing the ink mine? just throwing them out and waiting, or leading people into them?
I use them more for security and information than for comboing, though they're generally good for comboing as well.

For security, try and think about where enemy traffic is likely to flow through, or if you're worried about a particular flanking route. For example, on Musselforge Fitness, the grate bridges are the only ways into the enemy base and one of the few ways out of base, so putting mines on the bridge ends can give you some heads up on incoming enemies. The ink rails tend to get lots of use on Moray Towers, so putting mines where players are likely to land from an ink rail jump, or access an ink rail node, is also useful. On any map for Tower Control, enemies are pretty likely to want to get on the tower, so putting a mine on the tower is always a good idea.

I don't generally lure enemies into mines, though if I predict that an enemy is incoming along a path I am sure of, I might put down a mine and pull back/run away. The animation to place a mine is still kind of long, so you don't really want to be visible at all when putting it down.
 
What's up with Annie's 'SplatNet exclusive gear' not being exclusive at all and being available in the in-game shops?
She overcharged me for some shoes -_-
You're paying a premium because gear ordered through Anniezon is slotted with different main abilities than the defaults you'd get in the normal stores.

And cost of shipping and Murch's cut, of course.
 
sos help me guys

I'm playing the single player and the left analog stick sometimes doesn't work as I want it to? Sometimes I keep walking even if I stopped pressing forwards. Is this the "joycon L" problem everyone talked about? This is my first time playing on the TV

Sounds like it. Try going to the stick test in system settings and see if it follows your movement properly or not.
 
Been playing Splatoon 2 for a couple of days. Absolutely loved the first game and was a huge advocate for it the moment it was revealed at E3. It drove me not only to buy a Wii U, but a TV to go with it.

As far as Nintendo sequels go, this is definitely the same-iest sequel I've played. Of course, the mechanics are as good as ever, so there's no real need to change what isn't broken. But I was hoping for a lot more new weapon types, some different stage hazards and new ranked modes. I just can't get as jazzed up about Splatoon 2 as I did the first game, especially since I feel like I'm just buying the same weapons and clothes all over again.

With that said, it's still fun as hell and I'm probably going to put a lot of time into it. Single-player campaign has some cool new tricks, and Salmon Run is an absolutely fantastic addition to the game. I'm enjoying the new special weapons, and I've transitioned to the Switch controls pretty well from the first game. Hoping for some meaty updates!

Also, Pearl is waaaay better (although, I'm Team Ketchup)
 
Anthropomorphized characters. The term furry usually refers to characters being featured seuxally, and there's a very, very, very large subculture that follows this.

It's also weird as fuck.

The first half of that description is completely wrong. It sure is weird though.

and I love it
 
Trying to stay on topic, how much surface area has everyone inked so far? I'm At 79,173p. Probably kind of low, but I've yet to play even 100 games.
