>Get to final boss >its pretty neat, good music, good power rush on phase 2 >get to final boss again >its a meme with shitty music >it will be this literally every single run from now on
why they do this
missile trees need a nerf >bro what if we made an enemy that infinitely spawns slow (but not slow enough to sidestep them) homing projectiles for billion damage and you can't even blow up the missile pods like the guide suggests because they always spawn in the middle of fish spam
If fricking c**t nogami makes this a boss salmon i will kyoani his ass
It's partly the blue/purple hue over everything, and mostly the middle left guy. His awkward pose and anatomy, with the 3/4 head and toothy grin, everything about it just screams amateur fan art to me. Stuff like your pic and a lot of the other album covers can be really simple and cartoony, but it still feel confidently drawn.
>Next season will let you get some old weapon animations from 2 >But you still can't get the cute octoling girl animations
These were some of the best, they really shoulda brought them back
Jumping between the old plazas of Inkopolis, a thought just registered; Splatoon 1 barely sold 5 million and was on the Wii U. Splatoon 2's sold 13.6 million copies. Splatoon 3's at 11.7 and climbing. The vast majority of Splatoon's player base never played the first one.
Also it's weird being reminded how small Plaza and Square were compared to all of Splatsville's alleys and staircases and things.
>The vast majority of Splatoon's player base never played the first one. >all these children will never know the beauty of the OG Octavio fight
There's a reason it changed all those octolings' lives. It's still one of the best fights in the series.
I'm having a hard time recalling a final boss from Nintendo that tested the player on pretty much every mechanic in the game like the original Octavio fight did, like ever.
Can we call them a band? I mean the music is nice but I assume most of it was made by Marina and whatever techies she worked with to make Memverse while a handful were made by Smollusk after he hijacked the thing
Marina has her own track (being her boss theme), but they got a name so it’s a band/artist of sorts
Could still be whoever helped Marina who did the music and they gave themselves themselves that name, which is the more likely scenario
Full mobility has been the most fun so far.
Strat was maxing movement speed while painting with movement special charge, then just run around the stage while waiting for special, then using the Hammer since it was dealing 10k per hit.
The devs are already pretty checked out for 3, I really don't think they want to make 4. Some weapons still don't have second kits, Side order got delayed and was still painfully short. I don't think they're capable of that amount of effort anymore.
If I recall correctly, Nintendo seems to not be as restrictive on their devs. There have been plenty of times where they'll publicly announce theyre delaying a game, I think to try to avoid crunch time. I think I've also read somewhere that the games need to be ready like, 2 weeks prior to release for physical cartridges. Regardless, I wouldnt be surprised in the devs at PEAD want to work on like, Pikmin, or Animal Crossing, or Mario, rather than Splatoon. Especially since the Splatoon team this time seemed like newer employees.

Nintendo has a very bad habit of releasing games in early access without actually saying they're early access, dripfeeding the rest of the content through updates or DLCs. Even for games that have been delayed like AC New Horizons.

Yea, no way they’ll retire splatoon, likely get new people on it. If anything I could see nintendo maybe letting them do a spin-off to break away from the main game, or if they wanna try other stuff they could let some new faces do said spin-off to fill in that gap before the regular devs come back to do another sequel I just want a spin-off, pls nintendo it’s been nearly 9 years

They may have less control over gamefreak than their first party studios but Nintendo literally has a stake in the games. You’ll never see them release on another platform. The games print money and so long as they do that they arent going to get too heavy handed.

The games still sell regardless, and while they do turn shit that mess ends up on the hands of gamefreak and not them, so they have no reason to step in
In fact they’d be disincentivized to, why risk trying to clean it up when, if it does still end up shit and leading to negative press, then that mess is also on nintendo’s hand too

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/11/gallery_game_freak_has_moved_in_with_nintendo_and_the_new_offices_look_sublime
Not long after Sword and Shield Nintendo merged a bunch of its office space into one location. Game freak was part of that move, they were moved in to Nintendo Headquarters basically. Let's not pretend like Nintendo doesn't have any oversight over anything they do.
Well you're out of your goddamn mind if you think the devs being a little saddy waddy is gonna prevent Nintendo from releasing another entry in a consistent eight figure selling series.
It's pretty clear that OtH are the dev's favorites (and also probably the favorites of a lot of the fanbase as well) which kinda sucks because that almost guarantees they'll be banished to DLCs forever.
>tfw Deep Cut will never get a proper final boss theme >They even had to do the post-Splatfest thing just so they were able to have some sort of credits-like song
I guess the Finalfest will have 3Mix and Spectrum Obligato on the final day
Deep cuck got shafted in their own game >b-but at least they were in the story mode of their own game!
Yeah but that was shit. There is hardly any character there. Oh they're bandits but actually they are le good. That's it. Outside of that they didn't even get unique stage dialogue until halfway through the game's fricking life. Meanwhile squid sisters get a role in every single player campaign and Off the Hook have had two DLC's that really flesh out their characters. Deep Cuck just has the shitty return of the mammalians which plot wise is the worst in the series. They have boss battles which is something and yet their personalities just are hardly on display throughout the game. They're very forgettable, their entire existence is phoned in. Nobody will look back and say "Deep Cut are my favorite idols!". Shiver is sexy, she wins a lot of splatfests. That's it. That's all they have going for them. That's the only thing memorable about deep cut.
Splatsville and the chaos theme as a whole feels like wasted potential. They were presenting it as this cool desert setting where the maps are trashed up areas unlike that fancy Greater Inkopolis. Then after Umami, the news maps are just the usual modern facilities that could've existed in Inkopolis. The Story mode was barely in the setting since Alterna is nothing like it (they could've made it like trashed up dystopian city ruins covered in sand, rather than the futuristic abandoned city) and then the DLC is all about Order and going away from Splatsville almost like the devs realised it was a mistake. All Deep Cut does is seethe over how much better Inkopolis is
Which weapon? If it's Eights palette just get anything involving explosions and special charge. Triple Splash decimates. Start throwing your own bombs and give pearl drone splat for more fun.
ended up being pretty pretty all-round but definitely leaning towards luck, I had 3 canned-special drop chips and turf lucky chain chips so I was shitting out splashdowns, had a splash radius chip as well to boost them and the 2 lucky bomb chips I got
it was pretty good
the inkling in the parallel canon cutscene is agent 4.
notice how they’re the only one with hair, which is pulled from your splatoon 2 save data?
the rest are just blobs, the one that’s front and center is wearing a mask (forcefully).
I died on floor 30 of a hackless Eight run. I got wienery with my damage output and tried to ignore Overlorder's triple sting ray, which broke my armor, then swiftly ended the run.
I've died as much times to Parallel Canon too. Yeah they die if you can get a lock on them, but if that Clash, Slosher, or Roller whacks you from above you're fricked.

>haven't played Ranked in like half a year
I'm planning on coming back and playing for real next season, I might be like frickin B rank when the new season rolls around though. Might be some peak comedy in those ranks.
My dream scenario for Splatoon 4 would be to get the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook back to do the news and have them appear in various combinations so all of them can bounce off one another. Frick Deep Cuck.
No more than two in the studio at any given time, but you never know which combo of two you'll ge. Not like a big four person panel no. One time you might get Pearl and Callies double moron energy and the next you might just get the Squid Sisters.
my theory is that splat 4's idol group will be so bad that it'll make Deep Cut look better in retrospect like Off Da Hook, but Squid Sisters will always been peak. Not because of nostalgia, they just are.
I feel like with Splat 4 they might actually try to make a group that tops Off the Hook. With 3 it felt like they really didn't put much effort into well...any of it, at least at the start. Splat 2 they definitely poured a lot more passion into those characters and the plot, combined with the final fest, with that leftover passion carried into what we now know as Side Order. 3's entire identity is just based off of what transpired in 2. I think they'll want to make a stronger base for the next game being on a new console and all, a fresh start.
>it felt like they really didn't put much effort into well...any of it
They do have a lot of things going on for them, but they're mostly surface level stuff. In other words, their personality is about as wide as a lake and as deep as a puddle.
>With 3 it felt like they really didn't put much effort into well
Based off the art book, they were over thinking it and then were told to tone it down.
I think when you say they had more passion with the characters in 2, you're right, they sort of like them more. When you're forced to make compromises you loose your passion in the character. So what ever they wanted to do with Shiver and Frye, it was just crushed. Big Man ends up looking like the character they could have fun with, even though there isn't much to him. He's just simple enough to take him places that the girls can't go to.
It really is incredible how amazing Feral Frye looks. She probably would've been completely unhinged and would've definitely become a fan favorite rather than the bland nitwit she is now
>Using Eight's pallette for the first time, about to finally finish side order >Forgot to turn off enough hacks so I am working with just 5 or so color chips >Smooth sailing despite no good chips >Get to Overlorder, finish the first phases portals no problem >Walk up to his face and splashdown >Instantly clip inside of him >Can't move, nothing I can do to get out >Die
I still had more lives and finished him easily after that, but if I didn't go in with more than one life I would have been so god damn mad
I feel a little better for still winning it on my first run with that weapon at least. I'll try the no hacks run soon and report back on how it goes, I feel like going in without ANY sounds fricked up
How many tries did it take you to do Eight's pallette hackless? For me it was 2, but there were some close calls.
Got blindsided by one of those beyblade buttholes during floor 30 and broke my armor.
My thoughts on side order >Great general concept >Great art direction >Intriguing story >Pretty good music >Eight has a round fat ass
BUT >Extremely short >Story is heavily frontloaded and backloaded with nothing in the middle >Limited replay value (The only weapon that felt significantly different to play with was charger, everything else was more of the same in approach) >Significantly lower overall difficulty than Octo Expansion >Less plot and dialogue than OE >Less memorable soundtrack than OE >Next to no implications for the lore of Splatoon in the end, unlike OE
I can't deny that I'm kind of disappointed. I know I shouldn't have expected more of the same, but it still feels like punches were pulled. The experience just had less meat on its plate than OE did. That being said, it's still very fun and engaging the first few runs up the tower. After that it wanes pretty quickly, it's still alright but it's just more of the same over and over again. Every run of something like Dead Cells for example feels more unique, Side Order just doesn't have that luxury.
However, Eight's ass is fricking massive and I want to slurp nutella and whipped cream off her hips and butt cheeks. So that bumps the score up. I just miss Octo Expansions difficulty, especially the impossible levels like Girl Power Station or the Inner Agent 3 fight. SO had nothing of the like, though I do admit the Sysyphian level can be hell. The issue is, SO's hardest floors are still always doable even if it takes a few attempts. Some of OE's levels have a way higher skill requirement and are gonna rack up way more deaths.
I'm beating a dead horse. And I don't want to hear play salmon run or play story mode or play turf war. I'm playing what I WANT to play. And I'm being forced to play it in a rank, S, that, for whatever reason, I am simply not good enough to compete in. But I'm also too good to stay out of it. I annihilate teams below S rank, and I simply cannot win an S. I am a thinking player. I change my weapons. I change my styles of play. Long range, short range, defensive, offensive, all of the above… I do it for long enough periods of time to see if something will work. Nothing ever does. I am currently at 13 victories in my recent battles. I have been as low as 9 within the last week. This screenshot of the battle I just finished Where my teammates are 2–9, 4–7 and 2–5… That's not an anomaly… That's nearly every match. I'm left thinking it MUST have to do with me, because the odds are too great that I would never stop getting THREE teammates who are THAT bad. but what can I do? I can't rank down, and I can't figure out how to win with three teammates who cannot carry their weight over and over and over and over and over again. To the tune of 80% losses. I want to play this game. I like the ranked modes. But what am I supposed to do? Nintendo has decided to punish in between players by not allowing them to rank back down when they are losing. It's just fricking miserable that I can't play the game I want to play unless I agree to get my ass absolutely handed to me 80% of the time. And all of this has a very, VERY easy fix… Revert the game to how it used to be and have people rank back down when they are losing. It's just fricking common sense!
Sometimes getting stuck at a rank just means that's the rank you play at until you get better. And yeah the game will always match you with shitters no matter what rank you're in. Part of improving is learning to adapt in real time and compensating for your teammates weaknesses. No one's painting? Paint more. People jumping in and dying constantly? Stick near your team mates and go in together instead of alone and out of sync. Teammates constantly losing fights? Focus on kills. No one working objective? Suck it up and ride the tower while spamming "this way" etc. Just always monitor your shitty eams for their deficits and make up for them. If you can't escape S it isn't a bad thing, it just means you're where you belong for the time being at least with the weapons you're using. To escape S, you'll have to play a bit harder. Consider teaming up with people from the pool. I make rooms pretty often, so if you see a Jr in anarchy open feel free to join

If you intentionally use horrible Wi-Fi to gain an advantage, read this:
You are human scum. You are the equivalent of garbage. Your air of disgusting simple-mindedness and malicious motivation stain our world and intoxicate the air. You make me gag, and leave a crowd suffering from suffocation of disgust in your wake. May your pillows all be warm on both sides. May mosquitoes follow you wherever you go. May you stub your toe every hour, and may you always have a bad hair day. May you always be rejected, may you be a point from graduation, and may you always have an itch to scratch. Eat garbage, then you can truly understand who you are, "you are what you eat".
I don't think having bad wifi gives you an advantage. If anything it just boots you and gives you a penalty most of the time. I guess I've seen some funky wifi lag every now and then but usually when that happens it's them disadvantaging themselves
dear god that floor with the sponges fricking ended one of my runs on floor 29. What the frick is the optimal way to handle it? If you just focus on the sponges, the tree guy's homing bombs come through anyway. It's so frustrating to me
I wish you could just completely turn off the pearl drone. It's pretty funny for like one or two runs, but it feels like half my perk options are always drone gauge charge or splatbomb. It's hella useful, but not at all skill based. The bias things aren't strong enough to avoid it either, so I'm just constantly rerolling.
What little plot there is in this sucks too. These characters seem like they coulda been fun, but 80% of dialogue is just Marina going "UGGGUUU PEARL", or the hot new lady giving you very mundane tips.
Basically, I miss Splatoon 1, where there was no lore, no hella gay one-note women, and Saltspray Rig. I'd miss salmon run though.
Thanks for reading my blog.
That's a good comparison, but man it doesn't make this any less repetitive. I got a run just now where my squid rolls were hella strong, and it was interesting. Homing splatling's pretty fun too. Still half my runs end up being Drone splat gauge + whatever. I don't even use the hack ones and this thing's still omnipresent.
But consider this:
I want to frick the shit out of Pearl, Marina, and Acht. I want to frick my inkling, and I want to frick Eight. I want to frick them while Sheldon watches. And then I want to frick feral brainwashed sanitized octoling girls on cold hard metal floors. And then I want to frick Callie and Marie while they incestuously kiss each other animalistically. I want to frick Pearl again after all of that.
I used to be on team Dayumn Marina, but they've pretty much removed any hint of personality. Pearl still occasionally says dumb shit that's entertaining. Shiver's got 'em all beat on hotness, but I'm team Callie for eternity. We never lost that final fest. It was a retreat.
>I wish you could just completely turn off the pearl drone
you can mostly turn it off, if you do then her chips rarely show >I miss Splatoon 1, where there was no lore
I don't think you played splatoon 1, or at least didn't read the sunken sea scrolls because side order's base story has about as much depth as 1's they are basically >oh no ally taken, go save them >yup that's the big bad he wants to destroy the world as we know it, kick his ass >idol banter 🙂 >saved our ally and kicked the baddie's ass, aww now he's harmless 🙂 yay!!
Whatever there was they only had in those scrolls, and it was about a silly war they made up as an excuse for squids having ink guns. Now it's all riding missiles and soul sucking. OE was cool 'cause it was so out there comparatively, but now they just keep doing that. 1's got this vibe like it's the weekend or something, it's distinctly more clean and vibrant. I miss that.

You have to be fricking shitting me
There's a lot of ways to avoid its killer wails. No need for ink rails, you can just run in circles around the map inkling paths to swim through while ignoring the enemies, and then use your special on them after the killer wails stop. You can also go underneath the boss sometimes too
>you can just run in circles around the map inkling paths to swim through while ignoring the enemies
I tried that, it goes fast enough to the point that several lasers will pass by you. >You can also go underneath the boss sometimes too
I tried that, and the fricking lasers started aiming inward. The rail and the bounce pad were the only things that could save me.
Practice running in circles more. It really is my tried and true method that has been reliable in all my runs. Sometimes you gotta adapt and choose whether to ink the inner floor or to go through the outer edges. But if you keep moving you'll be fine, it's how you deal with wails in multiplayer as well
>I tried that, and the fricking lasers started aiming inward.
the lasers stop aiming towards the core at some point, you have to get really close to the center to be safe though and then you must be ready to jump over a wavebreaker-like shockwave
it's by far the easiest way to dodge the stingrays
I'll keep that in mind for next time, motherfricker has already gotten me 2 or 3 times with the lasers.

Holy shit that was fun
Also man that was a cool final boss. Loved bringing the beat back and doing 8888 damage to frick his ass up, fun victory lap.
Now to get back up there with the other weapons
I frickin loved the feeling of a supercharged blaster too. If you haven't used charger yet, go all in on quick charge, and homing shots. Extra range and ink spread are great too. But holy shit, max quick charge with homing shots is basically a god weapon. Splatoon equivalent of having all seven chaos emeralds
I just finished a run with marie charger and despite re rolling shops and floors I didn't get a SINGLE charge upgrade (or ink saver), ended up with poison and ink coverage and pearl/Wave breaker to help clear trash
granted I don't run the chip synergy hack but god zamn
Try it again with the chip hack that biases it towards your favor and play it again. Get those quick charge and homing chips. You won't regret it, it was the most fun I had in side order
I'm doing minimal hacks for my first run through all palettes, but grizzco charger is my favorite thing in Splatoon so I'll try an optimized run later.
shame there ain't like an endless mode or victory lap when I get a really fun build
I finished a mobility build with the brush in SO
That was fricking comical. You slap your brush on the ground, go sonic speed, never run out of ink, build special immediately, and anything in your path just gets launched. I haven't done support or range builds yet but that was the most fun out of the others, would recommend
People tell me to review my replays, but what am I supposed to do? I watch and go "yeah I shouldn't have done that" but how do I go about improving from these replays?
>see what you did wrong >figure out why you did that >consider what you could have done differently to get out of the bad situation or not die >try to bring that new mindset with you the next time you play >work on breaking bad habits and building better ones
for example I realized I was often running from fights instead of quickly turning towards whoever was challenging me and shooting back. now I flee less and take fights more. another thing is I used to aim without paying attention to the cross hair, now I do and get more kills
I'll try to keep that in mind when I view my replays. On another note, you mentioned >I was often running from fights instead of quickly turning towards whoever was challenging me and shooting back. now I flee less and take fights more
Usually I'm told to run and regroup when you're being attacked while your back is turned because you're much less likely to win fights when you take time to turn around + you're already hurt. Is there something i'm missing?
I mean, it's just situation dependent. What's their weapon and whats yours, who has more range, did they already hit you, etc. You just roll with whatever makes the most sense for an ideal outcome in the moment. It's always better to have a teammate back you up, but if I'm getting challenged by someone with less range or has a disadvantageous position for some reason or another, I like to go in and try to take care of them myself. Don't always succeed, but I often do, and it's fun to try either way
That makes sense. One big issue I have right now is taking fights I probably shouldn't, sometimes i'll go after a splatling or a weapon that has some kind of inherent advantage over me, so it makes sense as to why the advice given to me is different.
I'm kinda bummed with how mid side order was in comparison with octo expansion. And I get it, it's hard to make a short, encapsulated rougelite experience if you don't know what you're doing. But losing the train cars to take breaks in between levels sucks, being a constant third wheel sucks, having to do the tower 10 separate times sucks, only having two bosses sucks no, girl power station part 2 does not fricking count as a boss , the dev logs aren't as impactful as the fun chats between off the hook and captain cuttlefish, and the lack of the escape sequence really hurt it. There wasn't the same build up OE got. Don't get me wrong, I still had a lot of fun with it, but it's just not as strong as OE.
As cheesy as it is though, the bring the beat back segment was rad and reminded me of EBA so it gets a pass in my book.
>the lack of the escape sequence really hurt it
before launch I thought there would be one and I still wish there was one, I get why there isn't one though, it would probably lose it's charm/be tedious on repeat playthroughs, idk how they could explain it only appearing on the first run either
>it would probably lose it's charm/be tedious on repeat playthroughs
Just have a box in the main lobby like they do to replay the first tower push, or the first marina fight, or the first time you fight the boss with the big ending. They did it for octo expansion, they did it already for side order, why not have a longer level where you can take a victory lap? Start with nothing and slowly work your way back to full strength, getting all your chips back in the levels leading up to the boss?
>Just have a box in the main lobby like they do to replay the first tower push, or the first marina fight, or the first time you fight the boss with the big ending.
yeah obviously but I don't know how they would just explain the chunk of the tower connecting floor 30 to the final boss room just being gone subsequent playthroughs
>I don't know how they would just explain the chunk of the tower connecting floor 30 to the final boss room just being gone subsequent playthroughs
Smollusk got beaten so hard that the portion of the tower collapsed, or maybe it was a last ditch effort from him to stop you the first time and he doesn't have the power anymore, or it was part of the final dungeon protocol that marina made and shut off on subsequent runs, or it was part of the simulation that got removed on the first pallet cleanse. They could have invented any reason whatsoever.
Surprisingly, that's not even my biggest gripe with the end. As much as I would have liked there to be an ending escape sequence of levels, I didn't think it was as egregious as not having a final super boss like inner agent 3. Like, you do all this shit, and you do it 10 times, and they lampshade it, and they don't even have the decency to give you a super hard boss fight afterwards.
>even if I never played splat 1?
Emulators are free. Basically every computer should be capable of emulating a Wii U in Cemu by now. You can connect your Pro Controller or even your Joy-Cons for perfect motion control emulation.
Jumping between the old plazas of Inkopolis, a thought just registered; Splatoon 1 barely sold 5 million and was on the Wii U. Splatoon 2's sold 13.6 million copies. Splatoon 3's at 11.7 and climbing. The vast majority of Splatoon's player base never played the first one.
Also it's weird being reminded how small Plaza and Square were compared to all of Splatsville's alleys and staircases and things.
Shouldn't be a problem for Ganker because see above. Sure, they'll never be able to experience what online was like on launch, but I can't imagine being a fan of Splatoon and not being at all curious about the single-player campaign, esp. the final boss.
How do I win in X? I want to attain a green or silver X badge but every time I play it seems like the game is geared to keep me below 2000. Is luck a major part of it or is there something I’m doing wrong? I usually get all gold “awards”, usually overall and/or enemy splatter or score booster.
>literally just get one or two of each nice upgrade like armor, damage, an extra life >let pearl do all the cool pearl things she does >don't feel like an ant in the storm >no longer takes a year to kill one big fish
This really is way more fun, goddamn. Max upgrades is just gonna be straight up baby mode, isn't it?
>did Agent 4's palette in one try
Feels good, man. I know it's the easy one but after the days of frustration with dualies, it was cathartic. Was up all night playing splatoon again, I will pay dearly for this. Worth it, though. Bed time now. Good night, Ganker. Or morning, most likely.
None of them, I dont understand why people are struggling so hard tbh this mode is so easy front to back mostly due to the fact all of the enemies are so easy and many dont synergise well. They could do with some form of shield enemy that makes you use your sub weapons or flanking / pierce shot upgrade honestly. >got the 300 pearl upgrade that gets up to 3x the pearls per win, but 0 pearls for losses after the first win >the rate of pearls decreases the more hacks you have >my rate was 2.6x >the hacks decreasing this included the ability to reroll the floors, the vending machines, both of which I consider essential roguelike things, and also the vending machine discount and damage reduction from 2x->1x which I just figured was fair
Will admit the fact pearl drone chip unlocks, rerolls and other random essentials detracting from the bonus pearl thing is moronic, but the fact the punishment for a reroll is the same as "extra lives +5" and "buy more lives" is hyper moronic.
I just noticed that if you give up on your current run, the next one starts with 0 money instead of the usual 500.
Which means then I have to constantly give up if the first floor doesn't have the color I want.
Cool.
>-500 point debt in S+0 rank >Had to abandon my Jet Squelcher for the Octoshot to have a better chance at winning
My arm hurts and this really isn't fun. I can't wait to derank again.
How do you feel about lockers?
It honestly seems like this was a failed attempt to appease the crowd of people wanting apartments. There's nothing that cool you can really do with the lockers so I don't bother and I don't think most other people do either
I'm in the minority but I seriously can't stand decorating in games. Save for character customization and clothes, placing furniture or a personal space is the most boring shit imaginable to me. So lockers have extremely little appeal to me. Apartments would too unless we hang out in them for a specific reason.
All these stickers and locker decorations and I just couldn't care less.
I think it was fun at first, but I felt no desire to add to or change it once I was satisfied with it so new decorations or stickers felt pointless to me. It doesn't help that you don't really even see them in a normal play session without going out of your way to do so.
Lockers seemed completely pointless on release because they were so separate from the rest of the game. You never see other's lockers or your own unless you go out of your way to look at them. Now that you can look at lockers while you're queuing, they're only 90% pointless, but there's so many better things they could have spent the dev effort on, like imagine if you could place locker stickers anywhere on your splashtag. Also so many easy ways to improve lockers, like if they had each player's locker in the background on the victory screen.
I tried maxing Homing for the first time and it's so bad, it's insane. >try to slosh at enemy in front of me >the slosh turns 90° to the side to kill random enemy that i wasn't looking at
Splat Brella's killtime is still embarrassing
I don't know why they made it as weak as it is, it's essentially a 3shot weapon because nobody's ever going to be close enough for you to hit with enough jankass pellets to twoshot; the weapon is still fun as hell, but it feels incredibly gimped when it comes to actually fighting things, the weapon is hard countered by blasters and splatanas as well with their absurd object damage despite already being a close-range weapon bad at killing things quickly
that being said; there isn't a feeling greater than shielding a shot that would've killed you / a teammate and killing the opponent, nothing else can compare
Also splattercolor screen is incredibly fricking useless, what a waste of a special, it's supposed to be disorienting but they can't even do that somehow, seriously just make ink a uniform color and mute the afflicted player's sound for the duration of the special, super underpowered for how difficult it is to catch people that aren't moronic, I think if I was an undercovergay i'd kill myself
Also let teammates see through it, the special is solved
Sniper
Oh shit, the DLC is out? And they actually made the villains someone other than Octarians?
They made an AI octopus that tawks wike this
Oh god, not again.
>Get to final boss
>its pretty neat, good music, good power rush on phase 2
>get to final boss again
>its a meme with shitty music

Those fricking things have regularly ended many runs I've done with short range weapons.
Thoughts on Riot Act/O.C.K?
potential top 5 band in the series, 3 has been killing it with the post launch music.
god damn, the first track blows out every multiplayer track in this game so far
seconds one....not so much
>thinks you're exaggerating about how good that song is, click it
>he wasn't exaggerating
Both good, but the first one is more typical splatoon mp. The fiddle on the second is really cool
These are both pretty rockin'! The violin makes me think of FF13.
The music's good but I legitimately believed I was looking at Tumblr fan art when I first saw the band art
Just wait until you see the ACTUAL tumblr fan art come out
don't most of the album covers look something like that, though?
It's partly the blue/purple hue over everything, and mostly the middle left guy. His awkward pose and anatomy, with the 3/4 head and toothy grin, everything about it just screams amateur fan art to me. Stuff like your pic and a lot of the other album covers can be really simple and cartoony, but it still feel confidently drawn.
So are these salmonlings or what? One on the left looks like a dolphin
SHIFTING STARS HAS THE FRICKING SQUID BEATZ TAMBORINES IN IT
What do you guys think of the Emote you get for completing Side Order, Bait the Hook?
Like 80% of splatoon emotes, it looks better when a girl does it than some fruity boy. Splatoon is a yuri franchise after all.
>Playing as an Inkling Boy when everyone tells you it's wrong.
This is the path I choose to believe in, Inkling Boys deserve love too!
The Captain should be a boy and Eight should be a girl and I refuse to accept anything else.
the captain and eight should both be boys because they are both literally me
>playing as a boy in Splatoon
Imagine being this gay
>not having a penis to sex and impregnate the idols (minus frye)
>having sex as a squid
Enjoy immediately dying
(octo)pussy worth dying for (literally)
If you're gonna do cringe self insert shit go all the way and enslave them to your human wiener, then you won't even have to die to breed them.
you don't actually die from having sex in splatoon, captain cuttlefish is still live and kicking
one of the best emotes in the game
shame the squid sisters still don't have one
it's so lame i thought it was a catalog emote until i got it myself
Poat gear sets that youve made using the Side Order gear. I really like how the scoutsr and shoes both have a red triangle.
I'm too lazy to commit to an actual build for it but I like how the outfit looks with the Arctic Duck Boots
why are these homosexuals so obsessed with balls?
Why aren't you?
Reminder that Marina made these guys. So, she literally made an enemy that will solve 8 Ball Floors for you.
Guess she feels bad about Agent 8's experiences with them in the Metro.
There’s only 35 drone chips you can get. You can never get a perfect drone palette, you will always be one off
You can if you don't finish with a full palette
>Next season will let you get some old weapon animations from 2
>But you still can't get the cute octoling girl animations
These were some of the best, they really shoulda brought them back
at least we still got the brella guitar with the new Reppin Inkopolis animations.

Full drone run.
I ran out of drone chips which is why the final one is a range one.
imagine hitting a droneless floor with it haha
Doable with Brella. Splatana and Splatling would struggle
Pearlbot is a treasure.
>time records are shown when you clear a floor
>not on the nso app
wtf nogami
Jumping between the old plazas of Inkopolis, a thought just registered; Splatoon 1 barely sold 5 million and was on the Wii U. Splatoon 2's sold 13.6 million copies. Splatoon 3's at 11.7 and climbing. The vast majority of Splatoon's player base never played the first one.
Also it's weird being reminded how small Plaza and Square were compared to all of Splatsville's alleys and staircases and things.
>The vast majority of Splatoon's player base never played the first one.
yes which is why splatoon playerbase is so fricking garbage
>The vast majority of Splatoon's player base never played the first one.
>all these children will never know the beauty of the OG Octavio fight
There's a reason it changed all those octolings' lives. It's still one of the best fights in the series.
I'm having a hard time recalling a final boss from Nintendo that tested the player on pretty much every mechanic in the game like the original Octavio fight did, like ever.
Thoughts on SO’s band/artist “Free Association”
pretty nice music, especially the boss themes
Can we call them a band? I mean the music is nice but I assume most of it was made by Marina and whatever techies she worked with to make Memverse while a handful were made by Smollusk after he hijacked the thing
Marina has her own track (being her boss theme), but they got a name so it’s a band/artist of sorts
Could still be whoever helped Marina who did the music and they gave themselves themselves that name, which is the more likely scenario
>Marina has her own track (being her boss theme)
I count that more as a Smollusk track because he's just playing her like a musical instrument.
Lot of their stuff’s pretty great. Ain’t Dedf1sh but it’s not to be discounted
>That second half of “souv3nir”
>just lost a run on floor 29
Well I'm pretty frickin pissed, time for a break
I fricking hate how just one little mistake can kill your no hacks run
Sprinklers and the Homing spawners are the worst
The fat ones only if you have no hacks or damage chips, they're so beefy
Full mobility has been the most fun so far.
Strat was maxing movement speed while painting with movement special charge, then just run around the stage while waiting for special, then using the Hammer since it was dealing 10k per hit.
>1055 prlz
that's insane
How much damage does the squid roll/surge do? I never bothered to pick up the chip that enabled the damage component.
Sample gameplay.
Really recommend giving this a try.
Early on it was doing 6k or so, but I didn't try them towards the end so don't know how high they could go.
Wait, do the spinning tops get buffed?
counts as rush damage I guess
>Becoming fast enough to chase down Alla Mambos unassisted and bump them off the map
I think Acht mentions it in her comments on one of the chips.
Most fun palette. Charger, dualies, brella and 8 are runners up.
>tfw no loving gremlin gf
So agent 4 gonna be saved in splatoon 4, right
>splatoon 4
Surely you're not implying there won't be a Splatoon 4
The devs are already pretty checked out for 3, I really don't think they want to make 4. Some weapons still don't have second kits, Side order got delayed and was still painfully short. I don't think they're capable of that amount of effort anymore.
what so you think the team will just go
>nah we don't wanna do any work any more
and how do you think that will go over with management?
idk it's worked pretty well so far, also worked for ACNH.
exactly, they made games and half assed them, so they continue doing that. they'll make splatoon 4 and half ass it
they will probably quarter ass it like with 2
If I recall correctly, Nintendo seems to not be as restrictive on their devs. There have been plenty of times where they'll publicly announce theyre delaying a game, I think to try to avoid crunch time. I think I've also read somewhere that the games need to be ready like, 2 weeks prior to release for physical cartridges. Regardless, I wouldnt be surprised in the devs at PEAD want to work on like, Pikmin, or Animal Crossing, or Mario, rather than Splatoon. Especially since the Splatoon team this time seemed like newer employees.
Nintendo has a very bad habit of releasing games in early access without actually saying they're early access, dripfeeding the rest of the content through updates or DLCs. Even for games that have been delayed like AC New Horizons.
Yea, no way they’ll retire splatoon, likely get new people on it. If anything I could see nintendo maybe letting them do a spin-off to break away from the main game, or if they wanna try other stuff they could let some new faces do said spin-off to fill in that gap before the regular devs come back to do another sequel
I just want a spin-off, pls nintendo it’s been nearly 9 years
I wouldn't mind a spin off
How long has it been since anything not Mario or Zelda got a spinoff?
kirby got one recently
Kirby's almost not fair because he has his own dedicated company that does nothing but make Kirby games.
metroid, pikmin and fire emblem all got recent spinoffs
>recent
Federatun Force came out in 2016, Hey! Pikmin in 2017 (not counting the shitty mobile games). Hardly what I would call recent at this point.
pokemon snap?
Pokemon isn't made by NIntendo
Nintendo has 1/3 a stake in it so you bet your ass it’s a Nintendo series.
If Pokemon were an actual Nintendo series they'd be forcing some fricking QA to be done on those shitty fricking games.
They may have less control over gamefreak than their first party studios but Nintendo literally has a stake in the games. You’ll never see them release on another platform. The games print money and so long as they do that they arent going to get too heavy handed.
Nintendo has a financial stake in Pokemon but basically zero involvement with their development process which is the point I'm trying to make.
The games still sell regardless, and while they do turn shit that mess ends up on the hands of gamefreak and not them, so they have no reason to step in
In fact they’d be disincentivized to, why risk trying to clean it up when, if it does still end up shit and leading to negative press, then that mess is also on nintendo’s hand too
has a financial stake in Pokemon but basically zero involvement with their development process
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/11/gallery_game_freak_has_moved_in_with_nintendo_and_the_new_offices_look_sublime
Not long after Sword and Shield Nintendo merged a bunch of its office space into one location. Game freak was part of that move, they were moved in to Nintendo Headquarters basically. Let's not pretend like Nintendo doesn't have any oversight over anything they do.
Well you're out of your goddamn mind if you think the devs being a little saddy waddy is gonna prevent Nintendo from releasing another entry in a consistent eight figure selling series.
they are capable, just unwilling to put effort into a EOL game when they are likely already halfway through 4 development
and what makes you think nintendo will let them not make 4?
>fastest selling game in the series
>literally broke a record
you're out of your mind
No one cares about nobody from the worst game, go back
It's pretty clear that OtH are the dev's favorites (and also probably the favorites of a lot of the fanbase as well) which kinda sucks because that almost guarantees they'll be banished to DLCs forever.

>probably the favorites of a lot of the fanbase as well

Deep cuck got shafted in their own game
>b-but at least they were in the story mode of their own game!
Yeah but that was shit. There is hardly any character there. Oh they're bandits but actually they are le good. That's it. Outside of that they didn't even get unique stage dialogue until halfway through the game's fricking life. Meanwhile squid sisters get a role in every single player campaign and Off the Hook have had two DLC's that really flesh out their characters. Deep Cuck just has the shitty return of the mammalians which plot wise is the worst in the series. They have boss battles which is something and yet their personalities just are hardly on display throughout the game. They're very forgettable, their entire existence is phoned in. Nobody will look back and say "Deep Cut are my favorite idols!". Shiver is sexy, she wins a lot of splatfests. That's it. That's all they have going for them. That's the only thing memorable about deep cut.
Splatsville and the chaos theme as a whole feels like wasted potential. They were presenting it as this cool desert setting where the maps are trashed up areas unlike that fancy Greater Inkopolis. Then after Umami, the news maps are just the usual modern facilities that could've existed in Inkopolis. The Story mode was barely in the setting since Alterna is nothing like it (they could've made it like trashed up dystopian city ruins covered in sand, rather than the futuristic abandoned city) and then the DLC is all about Order and going away from Splatsville almost like the devs realised it was a mistake. All Deep Cut does is seethe over how much better Inkopolis is
>no secret boss fight
it's just so secret that not even dataminers can find it
I do wish there was a secret boss (either 4 or acht) but doing no hacks is kicking my ass harder than anything else in the series
Which weapon? If it's Eights palette just get anything involving explosions and special charge. Triple Splash decimates. Start throwing your own bombs and give pearl drone splat for more fun.
yeah eight's but I beat it after I made that post
Nice. What was the final build?
ended up being pretty pretty all-round but definitely leaning towards luck, I had 3 canned-special drop chips and turf lucky chain chips so I was shitting out splashdowns, had a splash radius chip as well to boost them and the 2 lucky bomb chips I got
it was pretty good
the inkling in the parallel canon cutscene is agent 4.
notice how they’re the only one with hair, which is pulled from your splatoon 2 save data?
the rest are just blobs, the one that’s front and center is wearing a mask (forcefully).
they aren't literally agent 4, they're just based on em

Side Order kind of sucks to be honest.
It could use more level variety for sure.
I hope we get a two player online co-op mode for Side Order
>died on floor 27 on a no hack run
it's veemover
I died on floor 30 of a hackless Eight run. I got wienery with my damage output and tried to ignore Overlorder's triple sting ray, which broke my armor, then swiftly ended the run.
I've died as much times to Parallel Canon too. Yeah they die if you can get a lock on them, but if that Clash, Slosher, or Roller whacks you from above you're fricked.
They keep aging up the player character squids bit by bit, pretty soon we're gonna be playing full grown woomies if they don't stop

My dream scenario for Splatoon 4 would be to get the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook back to do the news and have them appear in various combinations so all of them can bounce off one another. Frick Deep Cuck.
So like "The Voice" but with squid people? sounds gay as frick
No more than two in the studio at any given time, but you never know which combo of two you'll ge. Not like a big four person panel no. One time you might get Pearl and Callies double moron energy and the next you might just get the Squid Sisters.
my theory is that splat 4's idol group will be so bad that it'll make Deep Cut look better in retrospect like Off Da Hook, but Squid Sisters will always been peak. Not because of nostalgia, they just are.
I feel like with Splat 4 they might actually try to make a group that tops Off the Hook. With 3 it felt like they really didn't put much effort into well...any of it, at least at the start. Splat 2 they definitely poured a lot more passion into those characters and the plot, combined with the final fest, with that leftover passion carried into what we now know as Side Order. 3's entire identity is just based off of what transpired in 2. I think they'll want to make a stronger base for the next game being on a new console and all, a fresh start.
>it felt like they really didn't put much effort into well...any of it
They do have a lot of things going on for them, but they're mostly surface level stuff. In other words, their personality is about as wide as a lake and as deep as a puddle.
>With 3 it felt like they really didn't put much effort into well
Based off the art book, they were over thinking it and then were told to tone it down.
I think when you say they had more passion with the characters in 2, you're right, they sort of like them more. When you're forced to make compromises you loose your passion in the character. So what ever they wanted to do with Shiver and Frye, it was just crushed. Big Man ends up looking like the character they could have fun with, even though there isn't much to him. He's just simple enough to take him places that the girls can't go to.
It really is incredible how amazing Feral Frye looks. She probably would've been completely unhinged and would've definitely become a fan favorite rather than the bland nitwit she is now
Does anyone have THAT Side Order poster where some Tuber said YOU CAN PLAY THIS GAME A MILLION TIMES
the little flying fish that are impossible to see until they blow you up or the fricking belugas who carry frickers on their backs
finally cleared a no hacks run, final boss nearly killed me a bunch of times, that got that heart pumping
Am I the only one who gets Custom Robo vibes from Side Order?
I played both but I don't see where you're coming from.
>Using Eight's pallette for the first time, about to finally finish side order

I still had more lives and finished him easily after that, but if I didn't go in with more than one life I would have been so god damn mad
doing it with only 6 chips is actually pretty easy, I did it in my first few attempts
now doing it with no hacks is a fricking pain in the ass
I feel a little better for still winning it on my first run with that weapon at least. I'll try the no hacks run soon and report back on how it goes, I feel like going in without ANY sounds fricked up
>I feel like going in without ANY sounds fricked up
it is, apparently you can get the badge while having 4 hacks active but I turned them all off
Anons, I got high because I wanted to play some splatoon but I've just ended up listening to the music in bed instead

why are the squids hot
generally they are cold actually
How many tries did it take you to do Eight's pallette hackless? For me it was 2, but there were some close calls.
Got blindsided by one of those beyblade buttholes during floor 30 and broke my armor.
it took me like 5 tries to do it with hacks. the sshots are so horrid
My thoughts on side order
>Great general concept
>Great art direction
>Intriguing story
>Pretty good music
>Eight has a round fat ass
BUT
>Extremely short
>Story is heavily frontloaded and backloaded with nothing in the middle
>Limited replay value (The only weapon that felt significantly different to play with was charger, everything else was more of the same in approach)
>Significantly lower overall difficulty than Octo Expansion
>Less plot and dialogue than OE
>Less memorable soundtrack than OE
>Next to no implications for the lore of Splatoon in the end, unlike OE
I can't deny that I'm kind of disappointed. I know I shouldn't have expected more of the same, but it still feels like punches were pulled. The experience just had less meat on its plate than OE did. That being said, it's still very fun and engaging the first few runs up the tower. After that it wanes pretty quickly, it's still alright but it's just more of the same over and over again. Every run of something like Dead Cells for example feels more unique, Side Order just doesn't have that luxury.
However, Eight's ass is fricking massive and I want to slurp nutella and whipped cream off her hips and butt cheeks. So that bumps the score up. I just miss Octo Expansions difficulty, especially the impossible levels like Girl Power Station or the Inner Agent 3 fight. SO had nothing of the like, though I do admit the Sysyphian level can be hell. The issue is, SO's hardest floors are still always doable even if it takes a few attempts. Some of OE's levels have a way higher skill requirement and are gonna rack up way more deaths.
why is Eight's ass so fat bros
and why does side order feel undercooked compared to octo expansion

learn to carry, f.
I'm beating a dead horse. And I don't want to hear play salmon run or play story mode or play turf war. I'm playing what I WANT to play. And I'm being forced to play it in a rank, S, that, for whatever reason, I am simply not good enough to compete in. But I'm also too good to stay out of it. I annihilate teams below S rank, and I simply cannot win an S. I am a thinking player. I change my weapons. I change my styles of play. Long range, short range, defensive, offensive, all of the above… I do it for long enough periods of time to see if something will work. Nothing ever does. I am currently at 13 victories in my recent battles. I have been as low as 9 within the last week. This screenshot of the battle I just finished Where my teammates are 2–9, 4–7 and 2–5… That's not an anomaly… That's nearly every match. I'm left thinking it MUST have to do with me, because the odds are too great that I would never stop getting THREE teammates who are THAT bad. but what can I do? I can't rank down, and I can't figure out how to win with three teammates who cannot carry their weight over and over and over and over and over again. To the tune of 80% losses. I want to play this game. I like the ranked modes. But what am I supposed to do? Nintendo has decided to punish in between players by not allowing them to rank back down when they are losing. It's just fricking miserable that I can't play the game I want to play unless I agree to get my ass absolutely handed to me 80% of the time. And all of this has a very, VERY easy fix… Revert the game to how it used to be and have people rank back down when they are losing. It's just fricking common sense!
what weapons do you main, and have you reviewed any of your replays?
you're replying to a reddit post, but do you mind giving me advice?
Sometimes getting stuck at a rank just means that's the rank you play at until you get better. And yeah the game will always match you with shitters no matter what rank you're in. Part of improving is learning to adapt in real time and compensating for your teammates weaknesses. No one's painting? Paint more. People jumping in and dying constantly? Stick near your team mates and go in together instead of alone and out of sync. Teammates constantly losing fights? Focus on kills. No one working objective? Suck it up and ride the tower while spamming "this way" etc. Just always monitor your shitty eams for their deficits and make up for them. If you can't escape S it isn't a bad thing, it just means you're where you belong for the time being at least with the weapons you're using. To escape S, you'll have to play a bit harder. Consider teaming up with people from the pool. I make rooms pretty often, so if you see a Jr in anarchy open feel free to join

If you intentionally use horrible Wi-Fi to gain an advantage, read this:
You are human scum. You are the equivalent of garbage. Your air of disgusting simple-mindedness and malicious motivation stain our world and intoxicate the air. You make me gag, and leave a crowd suffering from suffocation of disgust in your wake. May your pillows all be warm on both sides. May mosquitoes follow you wherever you go. May you stub your toe every hour, and may you always have a bad hair day. May you always be rejected, may you be a point from graduation, and may you always have an itch to scratch. Eat garbage, then you can truly understand who you are, "you are what you eat".
I don't think having bad wifi gives you an advantage. If anything it just boots you and gives you a penalty most of the time. I guess I've seen some funky wifi lag every now and then but usually when that happens it's them disadvantaging themselves
that post is also from reddit
God dammit I replied to the reddit spammer twice. That's worse than seeing people reply to the chat gpt bots on twitter

>Ping-Pong.Floor
ping pong floor is fun. i also like this one
dear god that floor with the sponges fricking ended one of my runs on floor 29. What the frick is the optimal way to handle it? If you just focus on the sponges, the tree guy's homing bombs come through anyway. It's so frustrating to me
you have to focus both on the sponges and the hole in the middle
It's dependent on your weapon, some handle it much better than others.
I wish you could just completely turn off the pearl drone. It's pretty funny for like one or two runs, but it feels like half my perk options are always drone gauge charge or splatbomb. It's hella useful, but not at all skill based. The bias things aren't strong enough to avoid it either, so I'm just constantly rerolling.
What little plot there is in this sucks too. These characters seem like they coulda been fun, but 80% of dialogue is just Marina going "UGGGUUU PEARL", or the hot new lady giving you very mundane tips.
Basically, I miss Splatoon 1, where there was no lore, no hella gay one-note women, and Saltspray Rig. I'd miss salmon run though.
Thanks for reading my blog.
Think of it like an RPG, you're not allowed to remove the main characterfrom the party in many of tbem and the same thing applies here
That's a good comparison, but man it doesn't make this any less repetitive. I got a run just now where my squid rolls were hella strong, and it was interesting. Homing splatling's pretty fun too. Still half my runs end up being Drone splat gauge + whatever. I don't even use the hack ones and this thing's still omnipresent.
I used to be on team Dayumn Marina, but they've pretty much removed any hint of personality. Pearl still occasionally says dumb shit that's entertaining. Shiver's got 'em all beat on hotness, but I'm team Callie for eternity. We never lost that final fest. It was a retreat.
Whatever there was they only had in those scrolls, and it was about a silly war they made up as an excuse for squids having ink guns. Now it's all riding missiles and soul sucking. OE was cool 'cause it was so out there comparatively, but now they just keep doing that. 1's got this vibe like it's the weekend or something, it's distinctly more clean and vibrant. I miss that.
I don't care about their personalities, I care about how they look naked and how their tiny squid and octo pussies feel on my moronic dick
But consider this:
I want to frick the shit out of Pearl, Marina, and Acht. I want to frick my inkling, and I want to frick Eight. I want to frick them while Sheldon watches. And then I want to frick feral brainwashed sanitized octoling girls on cold hard metal floors. And then I want to frick Callie and Marie while they incestuously kiss each other animalistically. I want to frick Pearl again after all of that.
I don't remember making this post

You have to be fricking shitting me
There's a lot of ways to avoid its killer wails. No need for ink rails, you can just run in circles around the map inkling paths to swim through while ignoring the enemies, and then use your special on them after the killer wails stop. You can also go underneath the boss sometimes too
>you can just run in circles around the map inkling paths to swim through while ignoring the enemies
I tried that, it goes fast enough to the point that several lasers will pass by you.
>You can also go underneath the boss sometimes too
I tried that, and the fricking lasers started aiming inward. The rail and the bounce pad were the only things that could save me.
Practice running in circles more. It really is my tried and true method that has been reliable in all my runs. Sometimes you gotta adapt and choose whether to ink the inner floor or to go through the outer edges. But if you keep moving you'll be fine, it's how you deal with wails in multiplayer as well
I'll keep that in mind for next time, motherfricker has already gotten me 2 or 3 times with the lasers.
>I tried that, and the fricking lasers started aiming inward.
the lasers stop aiming towards the core at some point, you have to get really close to the center to be safe though and then you must be ready to jump over a wavebreaker-like shockwave
it's by far the easiest way to dodge the stingrays

Holy shit that was fun
Also man that was a cool final boss. Loved bringing the beat back and doing 8888 damage to frick his ass up, fun victory lap.
Now to get back up there with the other weapons
I frickin loved the feeling of a supercharged blaster too. If you haven't used charger yet, go all in on quick charge, and homing shots. Extra range and ink spread are great too. But holy shit, max quick charge with homing shots is basically a god weapon. Splatoon equivalent of having all seven chaos emeralds
I just finished a run with marie charger and despite re rolling shops and floors I didn't get a SINGLE charge upgrade (or ink saver), ended up with poison and ink coverage and pearl/Wave breaker to help clear trash
granted I don't run the chip synergy hack but god zamn
Try it again with the chip hack that biases it towards your favor and play it again. Get those quick charge and homing chips. You won't regret it, it was the most fun I had in side order
I'm doing minimal hacks for my first run through all palettes, but grizzco charger is my favorite thing in Splatoon so I'll try an optimized run later.
shame there ain't like an endless mode or victory lap when I get a really fun build
I finished a mobility build with the brush in SO
That was fricking comical. You slap your brush on the ground, go sonic speed, never run out of ink, build special immediately, and anything in your path just gets launched. I haven't done support or range builds yet but that was the most fun out of the others, would recommend
People tell me to review my replays, but what am I supposed to do? I watch and go "yeah I shouldn't have done that" but how do I go about improving from these replays?
>see what you did wrong
>figure out why you did that
>consider what you could have done differently to get out of the bad situation or not die
>try to bring that new mindset with you the next time you play
>work on breaking bad habits and building better ones
for example I realized I was often running from fights instead of quickly turning towards whoever was challenging me and shooting back. now I flee less and take fights more. another thing is I used to aim without paying attention to the cross hair, now I do and get more kills
I'll try to keep that in mind when I view my replays. On another note, you mentioned
>I was often running from fights instead of quickly turning towards whoever was challenging me and shooting back. now I flee less and take fights more
Usually I'm told to run and regroup when you're being attacked while your back is turned because you're much less likely to win fights when you take time to turn around + you're already hurt. Is there something i'm missing?
I mean, it's just situation dependent. What's their weapon and whats yours, who has more range, did they already hit you, etc. You just roll with whatever makes the most sense for an ideal outcome in the moment. It's always better to have a teammate back you up, but if I'm getting challenged by someone with less range or has a disadvantageous position for some reason or another, I like to go in and try to take care of them myself. Don't always succeed, but I often do, and it's fun to try either way
That makes sense. One big issue I have right now is taking fights I probably shouldn't, sometimes i'll go after a splatling or a weapon that has some kind of inherent advantage over me, so it makes sense as to why the advice given to me is different.
Did they fix the unequip glitch? I wanted to see what it did with the side order outfit since that overrides your shorts.
yes
Thought so but had to check I wasn't misremembering how to do it.
>+explosion range
>+explosion damage
>ink recovery on kill
gg no re dlc
I'm kinda bummed with how mid side order was in comparison with octo expansion. And I get it, it's hard to make a short, encapsulated rougelite experience if you don't know what you're doing. But losing the train cars to take breaks in between levels sucks, being a constant third wheel sucks, having to do the tower 10 separate times sucks, only having two bosses sucks no, girl power station part 2 does not fricking count as a boss , the dev logs aren't as impactful as the fun chats between off the hook and captain cuttlefish, and the lack of the escape sequence really hurt it. There wasn't the same build up OE got. Don't get me wrong, I still had a lot of fun with it, but it's just not as strong as OE.
As cheesy as it is though, the bring the beat back segment was rad and reminded me of EBA so it gets a pass in my book.
>the lack of the escape sequence really hurt it
before launch I thought there would be one and I still wish there was one, I get why there isn't one though, it would probably lose it's charm/be tedious on repeat playthroughs, idk how they could explain it only appearing on the first run either
>it would probably lose it's charm/be tedious on repeat playthroughs
Just have a box in the main lobby like they do to replay the first tower push, or the first marina fight, or the first time you fight the boss with the big ending. They did it for octo expansion, they did it already for side order, why not have a longer level where you can take a victory lap? Start with nothing and slowly work your way back to full strength, getting all your chips back in the levels leading up to the boss?
>Just have a box in the main lobby like they do to replay the first tower push, or the first marina fight, or the first time you fight the boss with the big ending.
yeah obviously but I don't know how they would just explain the chunk of the tower connecting floor 30 to the final boss room just being gone subsequent playthroughs
>I don't know how they would just explain the chunk of the tower connecting floor 30 to the final boss room just being gone subsequent playthroughs
Smollusk got beaten so hard that the portion of the tower collapsed, or maybe it was a last ditch effort from him to stop you the first time and he doesn't have the power anymore, or it was part of the final dungeon protocol that marina made and shut off on subsequent runs, or it was part of the simulation that got removed on the first pallet cleanse. They could have invented any reason whatsoever.
Surprisingly, that's not even my biggest gripe with the end. As much as I would have liked there to be an ending escape sequence of levels, I didn't think it was as egregious as not having a final super boss like inner agent 3. Like, you do all this shit, and you do it 10 times, and they lampshade it, and they don't even have the decency to give you a super hard boss fight afterwards.
>max sticky ink slows down jelletons to one (1) percent
>throw sprinkler beneath asynchronous rondo
>completey cheese the fight
lmao. does it just lure all the jelletons there then?
No it attacks the boss from beneath and just shreds it.
>max ink saver sub, explosion knockback, ink refill
fun sending them twirling aggressively off stage
marooners bay killed the pool again
it was honestly pretty slow even during the golden rotation thanks to side order, doesn't surprise that marooners on top that made it even worse
the loadout has 2 brushes too
>got king on 2nd game
I left that rotation so fast
I haven't seen this mentioned yet but I'm pretty sure the controllers on marina's vr headset are a reference to the virtual boy contollers
Shit, I should go get my daily win even if it's the bay.
just get it in turf
>trying hackless runs
>all of my deaths have been from being shoved off the stage

What are you, me?
i need my daily and capsules. might just do one king
>roller run with full luck build
>die to the last boss
>risky rewards on so half an hour down the drain
Congrats!
maybe you got 5 of one chip and made progress on that!
That's rough, buddy. I didn't turn on risky rewards until I had enough hacks to breeze through
Well shit, I was gonna join that room but oh well.
wait for reinvite
I was only get my daily win, but I suppose I could go for a king.
oops requeue'd
I'm sad this beta Jelleton concept art from the initial teaser wasn't used. It looked like a bake-kujira and would've been a cool boss
Alright, but only the one king. I wanna go back to ordering my sides.
>wave 1 high tide glowflies

FRICK YOU
gg just enough for capsules
good luck on the tower
is it weird if I use the lobby from the first game even if I never played splat 1?
same
i think it's weird
yes
stolen valor
idk
I played all 3 and I use all the hubs

Emulators are free. Basically every computer should be capable of emulating a Wii U in Cemu by now. You can connect your Pro Controller or even your Joy-Cons for perfect motion control emulation.
Shouldn't be a problem for Ganker because see above. Sure, they'll never be able to experience what online was like on launch, but I can't imagine being a fan of Splatoon and not being at all curious about the single-player campaign, esp. the final boss.
How do I win in X? I want to attain a green or silver X badge but every time I play it seems like the game is geared to keep me below 2000. Is luck a major part of it or is there something I’m doing wrong? I usually get all gold “awards”, usually overall and/or enemy splatter or score booster.

This really is way more fun, goddamn. Max upgrades is just gonna be straight up baby mode, isn't it?
Pretty much. But there's something enjoyable about destroying a stage that should be hard
>did Agent 4's palette in one try
Feels good, man. I know it's the easy one but after the days of frustration with dualies, it was cathartic. Was up all night playing splatoon again, I will pay dearly for this. Worth it, though. Bed time now. Good night, Ganker. Or morning, most likely.
>Max lucky bomb

Jesus Christ
i beat side order
On my way to that point only a few left.
Good luck, Anon
None of them, I dont understand why people are struggling so hard tbh this mode is so easy front to back mostly due to the fact all of the enemies are so easy and many dont synergise well. They could do with some form of shield enemy that makes you use your sub weapons or flanking / pierce shot upgrade honestly.
>got the 300 pearl upgrade that gets up to 3x the pearls per win, but 0 pearls for losses after the first win
>the rate of pearls decreases the more hacks you have
>my rate was 2.6x
>the hacks decreasing this included the ability to reroll the floors, the vending machines, both of which I consider essential roguelike things, and also the vending machine discount and damage reduction from 2x->1x which I just figured was fair
Will admit the fact pearl drone chip unlocks, rerolls and other random essentials detracting from the bonus pearl thing is moronic, but the fact the punishment for a reroll is the same as "extra lives +5" and "buy more lives" is hyper moronic.
Why the frick the boss's third phase so much harder then the two prior? I've died so many times just in that phase.
I just noticed that if you give up on your current run, the next one starts with 0 money instead of the usual 500.
Which means then I have to constantly give up if the first floor doesn't have the color I want.
Cool.
>Which means then I have to constantly give up if the first floor doesn't have the color I want.
Isaac syndrome
When I give up on the first floor I lose all 500.
>-500 point debt in S+0 rank
>Had to abandon my Jet Squelcher for the Octoshot to have a better chance at winning
My arm hurts and this really isn't fun. I can't wait to derank again.
How do you feel about lockers?
It honestly seems like this was a failed attempt to appease the crowd of people wanting apartments. There's nothing that cool you can really do with the lockers so I don't bother and I don't think most other people do either
I'm in the minority but I seriously can't stand decorating in games. Save for character customization and clothes, placing furniture or a personal space is the most boring shit imaginable to me. So lockers have extremely little appeal to me. Apartments would too unless we hang out in them for a specific reason.
All these stickers and locker decorations and I just couldn't care less.
Failed, too much junk for too little space.
I stopped caring after like
the second season
I think it was fun at first, but I felt no desire to add to or change it once I was satisfied with it so new decorations or stickers felt pointless to me. It doesn't help that you don't really even see them in a normal play session without going out of your way to do so.
Lockers seemed completely pointless on release because they were so separate from the rest of the game. You never see other's lockers or your own unless you go out of your way to look at them. Now that you can look at lockers while you're queuing, they're only 90% pointless, but there's so many better things they could have spent the dev effort on, like imagine if you could place locker stickers anywhere on your splashtag. Also so many easy ways to improve lockers, like if they had each player's locker in the background on the victory screen.
Great feature squandered by a lack of multiple save slots.
Hackless 8 palette is so damn luck-based... I feel like none of my deaths are my fault
>spends 2 years losing every splatfest to make the comeback in the finale and frick up all the devs plans for 4

I tried maxing Homing for the first time and it's so bad, it's insane.

this one?
Perfection, thank you. If you have any others, feel free to share. I think I only have one other but I forget.
What do you think of the new stage, Marlin Airport?
stage gimmicks being back/stages being unique is good
it taking this late is bad
but the stage looks fun albeit kinda small
looks nice
shame it took a year for them to start making good maps
we can only hope and pray more launch stages get significant reworks
>Let dedf1sh do a song
>have to sing over literal fart noises
Maybe some octos shouldn't be unsanitized
Tried to do a full support run, had to give up.
Seems like the only strat here is to load up on Sub Saver and just spam bombs.
Splat Brella's killtime is still embarrassing
I don't know why they made it as weak as it is, it's essentially a 3shot weapon because nobody's ever going to be close enough for you to hit with enough jankass pellets to twoshot; the weapon is still fun as hell, but it feels incredibly gimped when it comes to actually fighting things, the weapon is hard countered by blasters and splatanas as well with their absurd object damage despite already being a close-range weapon bad at killing things quickly
that being said; there isn't a feeling greater than shielding a shot that would've killed you / a teammate and killing the opponent, nothing else can compare
Also splattercolor screen is incredibly fricking useless, what a waste of a special, it's supposed to be disorienting but they can't even do that somehow, seriously just make ink a uniform color and mute the afflicted player's sound for the duration of the special, super underpowered for how difficult it is to catch people that aren't moronic, I think if I was an undercovergay i'd kill myself
Also let teammates see through it, the special is solved
