Weird. Holding my joycons loose in each hand, the camera in Inkopolis Square is slowly moving counterclockwise for some reason. Is this happening to anyone else?

edit - moved to single player and back to Inkopolis Square and it isn't happening anymore. No clue what caused the problem.

It happened to me once so I went to the Switch's home screen then back to the game and it fixed itself.
It's a calibration thing. Put the controller down on a flat surface for few seconds and it'll recalibrate.
 
Just Do It.

It is really fun and the match type variety makes the game way more interesting! (Plus there are a lot of people who don't really know what they are doing so it isn't like you'll stick out, haha!)

Yeah, I've held my own against people who are higher leveled than me in Turf constantly so I figure that Rank shouldn't be too bad in comparison.

Maybe tonight I'll give it a go as whenever I log into the app, I get kinda sad not seeing at least a rank in my stats lol.
 
Also, is it possible to feel more like a boss than soloing a Flyfish in the first cycle?

It is great! I've only pulled it off a few times though, usually towards the start of the round before things got crazy and I had plenty of ink.

The low tide Cohock waves with the cannons are super fun because of this too, taking down Fly Fish with the cannon from a mile away is really rewarding!
 
LOL

feel free to check it out with added pictures in OT.

On topic - got a tease of rainmaker before I had to leave for the train this morning. God is that the best mode.

I actually read your OT here before you got the chance to edit it. I was dying laughing. Lol
 
Only being last man standing and saving your crew comes close i guess.

Or being last man standing and being completely seperated from your downed comprades, having one of those GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER! Moments as your just blasting into a crowd of encroaching Salmonids and then "FINAL WAVE COMPLETED" pops up and they all sadly turn away, lol.

I'll try that if it happens again. I just got my right joycon back from repair and I was loving the gyro aiming with split joycons prior to sending it in so I want to get back to that.

I got a lot better at the game quickly once I started playing Ranked since I had to to keep up! Turf Wars is so relaxing now, haha.

That one sounds indeed even better.

Is
brainwashed Callie's pose
from something?

just a random jojo like pose probably
 
The "matchmaking" in this game is trash and the idea that it takes things like the weapon you use into account seems like an unfounded claim.
I love the game too guys, but oh man, being in a room that just trades off whichever team gets stuck with "freddy" the level 2 earning 170p every match is insane when almost everyone else is around level 20.

We just had a "freddy" in our lobby who was around a level 4 with a standard roller getting zero kills and about 2-300p a game, everyone else was pretty experienced I actually felt bad for him being stuck with us.

Aw yes, finally hit Superfresh with something.
Now I feel like I can at least do SOMETHING in Ranked.

To be fair, I was being super fresh in them last few matches. ~6 splats in each and some fun time keeping Chargers busy. =P

Holy crap just had a level 46 on my team, did that player ever take a break since release? Lol

I keep getting lone players that are twice the level of everyone else. Like a grizzled, eyepatched ex-military guy turning up to a kids paintballing outing.

I'm thinking of just posting updates to SplatGAF as a travelogue/diary the next time this happens

Day 9: the coffee has run out. the quiet car has turned into ruffians, extorting us with their advanced knowledge of food operation and business. they've been able to control the supply of food through the choke points in each car. there are drums, drums in the deep
 
God, I just got the dumbest team ever. We had horde and we easily held them up and we had more than enough eggs. We just have to wait the wave out, but no. Two of our members got greedy and went after eggs at the bottom of the level and got killed. Then the other member tried to 'rescue' them getting killed, leaving me to deal with the horde. Naturally, we wiped.

Jesus, all you had to do was stay in place, but no, had to take defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes, I'm really salty right now.
 
Final Wave
Low Tide
We reached the quota
Only one player remains
And he's too much of an idiot to save us or run away

UGH!

Had the same happen today with 25 seconds left he died on the last freaking second:/

(tried to save us in the last 5 lol instead of running)
 
3 people in the cannons and they probably consider it's my job to fetch the 12 eggs. Fuck you.
Lazy players are the worst. We missed out quota in the next wave for no reason
 
God, the matchmaking in this is something else. Pairing level 1 players against level 31 players just seems cruel. I know that level =/= skill, but it at least equals options for gear and such, especially if you haven't even reached level 4 and can't get out of your starter clothes. Not to mention more time with the game generally means more familiarity with stages, weapons, controls, etc, so pairing a brand new player against someone with enough time to get over level 30 seems unreasonable to me.

Yeah lol Always fun joining a game as a level 14 and everyone else in there high 20s and/or low 30s.
 
Is there a way to destroy an item? I want to buy shoes, but I already have old ones in my inventory (with different abilities).

Edit: Bought the old ones via app. The new ones are available in the ingame shop.

You can only replace items by buying a new copy from Murch. No idea why they won't let you overwrite yours in the shop. Keep an eye on the app/people in your plaza for the one you want.

haha. same thing happened to me earlier. Well, it was only two in canons and the 4th person was god knows where.

There are a lot of newcomers today too, likely in time for the Splatfestivities. Been swimming in level 5-6s and at the same time theres always a couple of level 25-35s on the other team to kick their little fresh faces in.
 
Alright so I'm not one to usually complain about this stuff, but these furry picture messages are annoying as shit, bout to disable the feature entirely for a little while.

It's Turf War. There is no penalty for losing and higher level people are playing it less and less.
Would you rather have newcomers playing only with newcomers and wait forever to get matches today or in a month?

Not only it's one of the only ways to do it correctly it's also the best way.
Quick play in overwatch serves the same function
 
I'm sure this has been discussed, but is there a chance Nintendo allow us to submit posts using the app in the future, it would be really convenient.

I'm with you. Quick play matchmaking in any other online game has nothing on this. I've never experienced such noticeable skill gaps in players in the same room.

It'll die down eventually. If it wasn't furries then it would be something else getting on peoples nerves. This Splatfest has an off-white ink and thats gonna bring something just as bad if not worse.

I'm fine with whatever artwork but if it gets too suggestive I'ma report ya.

Yeah some were a little...much.
 
The german translation for everything is so freaking lame. Guess how the Profreshional rank is called in german...
Boss
. Yeah i know. Whoever does this stuff needs to get fired.

Also after 20 hours of Turf War I finally encountered the Reef map. I thought I was going crazy but here we are, finally.
 
Uh...... I think that was me. My bad

If it was, I accept your apologize if I sound tilted. I was just angry since I was already demoted from Profession to Go-Getter in my last round and wiping on the first wave just did it for me, especially when we had the round won.

On the bright side, I just had the craziest game.

Final wave, high tide, we got slammed by a steel eel and two of those spay bosses on top of the guy throwing bombs on his head. Three of us wiped and only one left. I thought for sure we lost since I lost a similar round just last game, but that last member managed to not only survived, but revived the entire team somehow. We did didn't have enough eggs and we only had 10 seconds remaining. Lucky, the last guy not only saved us, but killed the steel eel and we managed to get those eggs into the basket, barely meeting our quota.

Whoever that person is deserved a medal since they single-handily save the entire round.

As a game about human-squid hybrids I actually expected a bit more of those.
 
Also a word of advice. When the grillers come in Salmon Run, the person who has the Roller, your job is to kill those little salmon. Run those little fishy so they end up killing the team by a thousand cuts or distraction from another griller.
