Well, the good players have certainly come out to play in the European Splatfest. I need to up my game to keep up with them. Went on a hilariously long losing streak today, lost of Ketchup vs. Ketchup matches, too. I think the verdict on the Dualie Squelchers for me is... decent, love the range and dodge roll combo, point sensor actually got me a kill (roller user thought they were clever by not following me as I backed away around a corner), but... Still haven't found the weapon that clicked for me yet.

Any recommendations for a weapon that has decent range? Still only level 12, but if it's higher, it's something to aim for. I kind of want something with the ink rain special. That looks fun to use. But I'm finding it difficult to find the weapon for me yet.
Tried the Splattershot Pro?
 
Does anyone else have trouble connecting with friends? My brother and I are constantly being told you can't join the person right now. Even if were both online playing the same mode having no problem getting other matches etc.
 
3 people on voice chat solo queueing because despite even finding a 4th for the extremely specific requirements to play with friends...it refused to find a game...

this is fucking dumb, im just gonna play something else
 
I really like Shifty Station but it feels like such a missed opportunity to introduce a new stage just for the Splatfests when the game is so bereft of stages already. We had better get a few new regular stages very, very soon.

Damn, lost three in a row now where I had over 1200p at the end. Christ, I can't carry a whole team during Splatfest people
The motion controls are very nice and worth trying, but if you don't like them don't force it. They're not so Amazing as to put you at any significant disadvantage. It's like the difference between fightsticks and controllers for fighting games.
 
Tried the Splattershot Pro?
No, but I probably should. I've tried the normal Splattershot, the Aerospray MG, the Splat Dualies, the NZAP '85, the Dualie Squelchers and, of course, the Heavy Splatling.

I wish the Heavy Splatling had some other sub-weapon and I love the Sprinkler... just not with that weapon. Also not the Stingray, I'm awful with it.

My weapon of choice in the first Splatoon was the NZAP '89 with the Inkstrike and Sprinkler.
 
Mayo. They've not veen all bad but geez, tgese others are an active hinderance.



Worse is superjumping to me when I'm 3 seconds away from the spawn AND in a firefight.

Lucky you. I haven't been on a good Mayo for hours. We either get some braindead or two who can't used a rapid fire gun like an Aero and I end up getting more points on my Squelchar or we somehow that defeat from the jaws of victory.
 
Tri Slosher is helping the match tremendously but I expect Aerosprayers to actually recover turf.

Don't think people know what the ink armour does either. =(
 
Yeah indeed keep the fetishes out off Splatoon please!

Tore up another Mayo team. I may just be getting the lower tier, but Mayo's chances don't look too hot from my experience so far.

But Christ, that was a rough game for me. This charger was just all over me, it was weird. Seems like no matter where I ended up he was right there or close behind. Almost felt a little fishy, to be honest. Just barely broke 700p, probably the lowest I've done in Turf War since...maybe ever, at least since I started playing 2.
 
Are there any standout weapons? I'm low rank so I can't use most of them but I'm curious if my frustration wih certain weapons is anecdotal or really better.
 
Just died in Salmon Run on one of the raising platforms. I spawned inside the platform. Only way out was to kill myself. The wall of the platform that meets the ship was missing and I was able to kill myself in hidden water that appears under the ship. Respawned on top of the ship.
 
I've seen the light of the Splattershot Pro. That range, that cloud.

That cloud is great. Wish it had anything other than point sensor as sub though.

Managed to use raincloud whilst falling off a ledge on the Splatfest level by chucking it at the side of the level. =P
