He sure is quick at complaining about teammates when he does similar stupid mistakes himself...
That's the joke.
That video is 100% terrible. I wish I could have the minute of my life spent watching it back.
I need to unplug all my devices and reboot my modem to avoid those. So yes, and I'm not alone...

All S rank in all the ranked modes now
Guess the struggle to keep rank and reach S+ starts soon

Had a Tower Control game just now where it was overtime and we were all standing on the tower. Three people die and I'm the only one left. I quickly get a double kill but I run out of ink. Just sanding defenseless on platform while everybody respawns.
We take the lead and win.

Lots of matches today being decided based on who has a DC'd player.

I had a 4vs2 today, which still does not top the 2vs1 I had last week.

Dunno if it helps, but do you know about the shortcut from the middle to the side lanes? Learning you could just ink and jump as a squid to the grates on the lil tower in the middle of the sidelanes helped me with that stage a lot and turned it from one I dread to one I don't mind at all :3I am trash on Humpback Pump Track haha

People. On splatzone Kelp Done, you have to ink the middle to take control of the zone.
This has been one of the worst weekends I've ever played. Lost so many close matches and of course, a surplus of dumb teammates.

When there are fifteen enemies right near the egg basket but all three other people on your team are off in a far corner of the map trying to fight one boss and they all die???
Almost as bad as teammates who refuse to ever use their specials no matter the situation.
On the other hand my last team was fantastic, I had one of the best Goldie Rush rounds ever with no one dying or running off and being stupid, everyone stayed in position and didn't let the Goldies murder anyone.

When you get the roller during a Goldie Rush:
Of course, the funny thing is, we had a second Goldie Rush event in that game, and despite everyone watching me just stand there and destroy all incoming Salmonids that walked into my roller of doom, the squid who got it in the second game decided to... just stand back and fling ink? We still won fairly easily, since we had all our specials, but it could have been even easier if they just used the roller cheese.

Holy shit! If the brella's shield is open you can destroy an autobomb by walking into it! My brain is pudding!
Damn that was a good end to that run. One egg from quota, seconds ticking down, and we're experiencing Drizzler hell around the basket. One squid has an egg, but he's down on the elevator. I slosh some ink down and clear a path to the basket for him as he climbs up and drops the final egg in at the last second before 3 of us die from Drizzler rain.

Finally got out of S+0 Tower Control hell thanks to Kelp Dome not being full of ramps and shit like the rest of the game so I can actually use a gun normally. Now I got triple S+ in all three modes. And had great sessions in Salmon Run with people that knew what they were doing.
It was my reward for the past week of trash.

Jesus Christ... I can (kinda) tolerate people not using the stingray during a mothership round, but why the hell isn't anyone coming back to protect the basket when the mothership is right on top of it!? There's only so much I can do with a slosher...
Frankly this round of Salmon Run was just awful for me and teammates like that did not help one bit. Went all the way down to 10/99 by the time I got the second super bonus.

Can someone answer a few questions about Salmon Run? Last night was the first time I've done it (just got the game on Saturday) and it is a blast, especially with a group of friends!
-Does the ranking reset? Right now I'm at "Part-Timer" I think. Does that reset once this Salmon run finishes?
-I think I know the answer to this one, but as I rank up, the encounters get harder. That is correct, right?
-Do the rewards reset? The superbonus and stuff is what I'm talking about.
-Does the gear change? Last night I got a vest of sorts and a helmet. Lets say I do the next Salmon run ,will the gear be different or still be the same?
Appreciate any answers!

Coolies, hope it helps!
I've gotten quite few ambushes off on people due to it.
You keep your rank but your score within that rank resets to 40 points (so for example, I'm profreshional every new round of salmon run, but any points within the bar for profreshional I was above 40 are lost)
So you should remain a part-timer next round, just with 40p rather than whatever you had.
Yup. The few times I've dropped out of profreshional it's struck me how incredibly easy it is compared to what I'm used to. The difficulty mostly ramps up in terms of how quickly the bosses spawn than anything else, though there are some special events that will only turn up in the higher ranks as well
Any rewards you've earned, even if you've not claimed them, will remain claimable at the window outside the salmon run booth. The actual reward track itself resets every new salmon run event
The salmon run uniform never changes.
Hope that helps

I appreciate your response a lot!
As for the "gear" question, I was referring to the gear that I can put on my person for something like turf war. I got a vest of some sort after hitting a certain number of points in Salmon Run. I got a hard hat of some sort through one of my bonuses as well Will that change to a pair of pants during the next salmon run, for example? Or will it always be that vest? Sorry for not making that as clear as I should have.
it will be the same piece of gear for a month. August was the Mining Helmet and September is the Life Jacket
Stealth Edit: You can earn the gear piece each Salmon Run and it will have a different main ability

Ah, it's as Hotpocket said, though it's worth noting that some of the gatcha balls will sometimes reward you with clothing from previous months. So while you'll get the vest every so many points, the gatchas might give you a helmet or polo shirt from time to time as well :3

Alright, that clears things up for me. Thanks for both of the responses. Maybe I'll see you all out there during a Grizzco shift
Not that it will matter for most, but it actually maxes out at 99 bonuses. I didn't figure out how to collect bonuses until I had accrued 99 and probably missed out on a bunch of loot.

Not as awful as the 4vs1 I had today (this time I was on the majority side).
I hate grillers, and I was thinking the same, but this morning, I've had a griller round... and it seems the easiest thing possible. Everyone played perfectly, we killed 7 of them, and bring back 19 eggs. It was a perfect killing machine.
By the way, playing during work/school hours seems to help a lot. Since I have "strange" work hours, maybe I'm lucky to be able to play in those times, but my short experience at 10.30 AM (5 runs, 5 wins, none under 65 eggs) and tonight at 10.30 PM (about 1/3 of wins, and some losses at 1st round) were really vastly different. And since I've been the lead in eggs in all the runs, I doubt it's just because I'm tired.
High tide grillers is a fucking nightmare i hate it.

I mean did they really? They are perhaps the weakest Dualies and that's not been a strong class of weapons so far. Enperries are the "best" and even then only as a way of getting inkjet, and I'm not sure if they are even worth that.
I main Enperries but because of curling bombs, not because of the inkjet. There's plently of special I would prefer, such as baller since the buff (it now pack some power...)
