Splatoon 2 |OT2| From Smallfry to FlyFish in 5 Easy Steps!

That feeling of gratification when your team is 2x 10+ & 2x 10- vs 4x 10+ & 20+ and you keep the opposition at bay. So good ; )

Ok, thanks. And the map for vs is friday?

Wonder what time it will be on.

The map will be added to the rotation at 10pm Eastern time, the same as all the weekly updates so far. The secondary question is whether or not we'll still get a new weapon as well, or if the map's going to take its place as the lone addition. We already know that the Forge Pro isn't coming until the weekend after, just before the Splatfest.
 
O god I nearly witnessed a massive choke. My team cleared the path on Pump Track and the whole enemy team was dead. My teammate with the rainmaker rushes to the goal only to fall off the edge 10 points away. Luckily my team keeps up the pressure and somehow the rainmaker makes its way to the goal on the next try lol.

Guess i will be logging on at 10 after some cod beta
 
Has anybody else had disconnects after the recent update? I've had 1 or 2 a night since the update. Didn't have any before. I guess I'm going to have to stop playing before I get banned for disconnects.

Why anyone would disconnect when it counts as a loss regardless of what your team does is beyond me. Especially with the few times I was ahead when it disconnected it still counts as a loss.
 
I think the best feeling in this game is getting quick snaps with the splat charger while playing with split joycons.

!!!

edit: Oh yeah, first Salmon Run rotation with Lost Outpost is up on 8/26! It lasts most of the weekend too.

But L-3, I thought they always give better weapon set for weekends, now it's busted.
 
A rank is rough to climb, the highs and lows between games with good teammates and people who are clueless is crazy coupled with more and more great opponents. Feels like I will be stuck at A in all modes currently for a long time, when about to rank up I get hit with consecutive losses and then repeat.
 
Haven't played too much ranked really, but after reading about level skips, I was expecting to skip B+. I breezed through the whole of B in rainmaker without a single loss, no cracks, either top in kills or rank in my team every game.

Nope, went to B+, was disappointed lol. So it must look at various other stats.

As if to rub it in I then got fucked by luck and lost the next four games in B+ due to various random things, you know those kind of matches where you really shouldn't have lost, eg a lucky wipeout for the other team in extra time when you dominated the rest of the match, then they slip a points win at the last minute.

Luckily I won the next few games and got to A- without too much issue either.

I feel like they're US sizing, so I'd recommend going a size down but since the sizes are on the page you should measure yourself or a shirt that fits you perfectly already and compare that way.

that seems like a good kit. autobombs are great and I'm still convinced that the sting ray is a great special it just needs to be on more viable weapons.

speaking of how's the heavy splatling post patch? I don't really use it ever
Click to expand...
Sting Ray isn't a bad special exactly, but it could use one more small tweak to put it in a really good place. Either something to make setting the initial aim up easier, or a suggestion from the Discord last night would be moving its use to R instead of ZR, so that your main weapon could still be used like with bomb launcher. As it stands, someone pulling out a stingray is basically an invitation to rush them down since it doesn't have the damage or maneuverability to really defend itself like inkjet or bomb launcher can. You really have to fall back to an area of total safety for white a while for it to see much use. It also doesn't help necessarily that it's much more useful in ranked than in turf war, which means people don't have as much opportunity to practice it in its most useful situations.

I already liked the Heavy even pre-patch, but the extra mobility is felt and I think it feels pretty good. The biggest knock on it right now is probably some of the stage design, where lots of slopes and stuff make it tough for you to focus people down much.

that's the thing with the sting ray though, especially compared to the ink jet, you can just sit back the whole time and still be effective. you can hit anywhere on the map from anywhere on the map, you don't have to make yourself vulnerable to pressure or get splats. and as long as you're in your own ink you can just swim the fuck out of there if someone comes for you.

I agree about needing a tweak but I think having the main weapon be available would make it a bit too strong, same with making it easier to aim, but if you could throw a sub out that'd be my change. with the clash blaster especially if you could toss out a splat bomb that'd be a good change.

agreed about turf vs. ranked but in ranked it's so good. you can pressure the tower/fish/zone from anywhere on the map. if the other team is standing around the fish trying to pop the shield you can make sure they either get splat'd or get the fuck out of there. same thing with the tower. if your team is about to get the lead but is getting pressured hard whipping out the sting ray could be the difference maker. same thing on the flip side, if the other team is about to take the lead you can just whip out the sting ray and make sure they either get splat'd or get the hell off the tower. and you can do it from anywhere on the map.

I love it. maybe I'm being down on myself but I've been really effective using the sting ray which makes me think better players could really get some use out of it.

Sting ray is great. Doesn't need a buff. Just practise planning and don't forget to drop the trigger and re aim when needed. I am about as effective if not more with that than the missiles and rain and yeah.

Can kill rainmaker carry. Take out moving tower. Snipe snipers and hit chokepoints and splash zones trigger rainmaker fast, aim ahead of your own carry or tower know where enemy spawn is.

yeah pumping the trigger is usually how I do it so I can follow someone around and keep tabs on where they're fleeing
 
Yeah stingray is literally "practice makes perfect" the special. I prefer the standard splat charger/splatterscope over the firefin in ranked for that very reason.
 
I like the Gatling Gun quite a bit in certain modes. That said I dont really like its specials very much. Are there any other versions of that like some of the other weapons with slightly different stats and different specials?
 
Wasn't aware there was a Salmon Run session today.
And I got back to the highest rank!

I fear there will be some difficulties to stay here the time people need to adjust to the new map in next session.


I'm also slowly considering building my gear, what do you people recommend as abilities for a casual turf wars only Aerospay player ?
