Splatoon 2 |OT2| From Smallfry to FlyFish in 5 Easy Steps!
- Thread starter DaBoss
- Start date
I still hate dealing with Tris, especially on certain stages. But even the basic Splattershot seems to outrange them, especially if back-pedaling.
I also have some Sub Power Up (Bomb Range Up for most Subs) to give my Burst Bombs some nice range, letting me keep Tris at bay.
The thing you're probably really hating is Ink Armor, not the Tri itself.

I was standing so far away from a Tri Slosher main... like I was in a different STATE and I still got hit. Lol
reddit just pointed out the bomb launcher is actually just an ultra machine
i hope we get an ultra hand at some point

That, my friend, is Splatoon 2's amazing online components and poor tickrate. Also, people playing on Wi-Fi throwing bigger wrenches into things. It's not wrong to play wireless, I enjoy handheld squib every once in a while. But... Yeah. Splatoon 2, for as great a game as it is, has many issues. From gameplay balance right down to the online component itself.
...gosh I don't want to pay for what we have now.

For some reason I've been doing absolutely horrible in Tower Control the past few days. No matter how many kills and ink I lay down, I constantly get the "They took the tower" popping up.
It's okay to fall back a bit if you lose that initial exchange. I'm painting the stage behind you so you can run and slow them from chasing you. Just please, stop pretending you're Rambo spraying bullets into the air and expecting each one to hit a vital.
I only managed to get back into S by going Jr. and spamming Ink Armor like crazy. Talking 7-9 times a game (guess what I've been putting my chunks toward). At least I'm S+ for Zones and Rainmaker.
The one, the ONLY silver lining I can imagine to paying for online is that the fee will weed out some of the kids that don't bother to improve their connection such as using a Lan, portforwarding, DMZing, and so on.

I only keep the tri-slosher for ranked, which is very effective overall, but I still don't really feel comfortable with it.
I pretty much stick to my N-Zap for everything else.
Also I welcome the new maps - the boat map looks great while I'm both excited & scared for that Salmon Run map.

I will be ok with armor if it doesn't have that invincible 15 frame after we break them.

haha holy shit.
I pointed that out the day of the first trailer.
This is Kotaku levels of slowpokiness.
Yooooo
yeah but i don't pay attention to you bgbw :3
Well I probably said it in a chatroom rather than on GAF, but it was one of those things I assumed everyone noticed.
we're not all experts on nintendo toys unfortunately
Hey guys I just randomly woke up anything new hap-
Nice! New maps for everything! Any updates on the balance pat-
.....Oh.
edit: Hmm, they didn't change that many things people asked. Uh oh.

You should have played Wario Ware. Your fault.
I don't say the news is bad or uninteresting, but they've been really slow to notice it.
When you shoot it off, there are some invincibility frames that can last a bit longer depending on latency during the match or not. Remove that, and it'll a lot more reasonable since really good teams can have 2 or more of these players just farming ink armor all day.

Ink Armour is individually fine. What makes it a problem is when it gets chained in sequence - it's better in the presence of itself and doesn't have diminishing returns (whereas, say, 4 Bubblers is not 4 times as good as 1 Bubbler).
I think either the power or the duration of Ink Armour should inversely scale with the number of players on a team who have Ink Armour - something like that.

Tri-Slosher has no diminished accuracy while jumping and almost no fall-off damage, so it has higher range than it looks on paper since you can spam jump and shoot to get an extra bit of range - if you did that with, say, the N-Zap '85, the accuracy is reduced so much and the damage fall-off is significant enough it's just not worth it, so the Tri-Slosher has secret extra range compared to other weapons. I think the effective range is just over 40, or thereabouts, which, while less than a lot of the prominent shooters, is not so much less that spacing is a Tri-Slosher's most significant concern.
It's a meter that say how well you do... Win and it'll increase, Loose and it'll decrease. It's a per-weapon meter, unless I'm mistaken.
I would say no, but not totally sure... Is it important? (you usually don't play for points?)

Every win adds Fresh points, every loss loses Fresh points. It's a sort of performance tracker. Higher Fresh points means you're playing better (or are on a good streak). Occasionally it gives you extra points. Mostly it is bragging rights. It's per weapon, and your highest value is recorded for each weapon.
No.
only to the extent their inksplosion covers turf
Hmm. Looking in app, one team is shown as winning and the other lost. Despite the 1090-1090 tie in points. Maybe the tie goes to the team with more splats (despite my poor performance that match...).

Splat dualies getting a range increase.
Awesome, we're getting the Bubble Blower soon. The Forge Splattershot Pro looks like it would be good at popping those bubbles. Might be like a more focused rain cloud.
Someone on Reddit posted this, which I guess is from a 4chan board called /ink/

Of course, leave it to Nintendo to wait until just hours after I post up a bunch of blaster comparison numbers to then reveal Clash changes that throw out the whole point of the comparison, lol.
So, they improved the droplet size of its inking and also toned up its ink efficiency. Given where it already sat, this probably means the Clash will be the most ink-efficient blaster in the game currently, and depending on the inking buff it may not take two shots to form a workable swim path anymore. I LOVE the sound of these changes, making one of my favorite weapons even better and possibly more viable in turf war to boot. Not sure if people will keep sleeping on it or not but I can't wait to dive into it.

nice thanks
overall I like what they're doing. gave the clash blaster a nice buff and a range buff for the splat dualies is definitely welcome.
looks like they're also trying to work on chargers and rollers as well so that's cool.
