I'm thinking we can try starting a suicide lobby soon. I was thinking of doing it at the next rotation in 2 hours, but I figure it'll be too late for some. Is anyone at a pretty high EVP and want to cash it in for some chances at scales? I'm at 600
My bad for not being clear. Yea I'm trying to set up a lobby now. Assuming you are one of the anons that agreed earlier without realizing what I meant, then it looks like we're still short a person.
I'll try asking again a little before the next rotation
>Haven't played since June >Hop on x battle >Second match we're having a bit of a tug of war over the tower, enemy pushes in a bit >Teammate immediately gives up and just booyahs at spawn
Did everyone stop caring
I had some moron do this during the recent challenge, report his ass. It counts as "unsportsmanlike play - intentionally not contributing." or something similar.
Also my experience with X rank lately is >Not enough players. Please try again! >Not enough players. Please try again! >Not enough players. Please try again!
So I'm not even gonna bother with it anymore, I just play series/open, and no I'm not joining the Japanese division.
That depends a lot on your Internet I think. I'm in central US and use ethernet and generally my games are pretty smooth. It definitely happens sometimes like I'll get sniped after moving behind a wall. More often than not it's a DC rather than lag for some reason.
But I don't think it has any substance to it. Basically they think a hidden anniversary announcement will come at an upcoming official Nintendo jap turf wars tournament, Koshien
At most it'll probably just be some JP exclusive merch commemorating the 1 year anniversary
I'd love if it were news about the game, but that ain't happening
Alright I'm losing track of people so I'll set up the suicide lobby now and see who we get. I'll password the lobby with 7243 (rage) so people know this isn't for ranking up
Well ideally everyone should have a few hundred that they don't mind losing. We die 5 times, which will drop our evp but raise our boss meter, then we fight the king.
Anon, you're pretty based for demoting for this. If you're going to climb back up to evp before big run, I'm up for tagging along. I'll help bring you back up tomorrow or something.
It doesn't take long to climb back up to evp. Don't worry
Up to you how much a gold is worth for you though. The chances of getting one are still pretty low even when doing this.
Thank god that guy didn't try the wall thing again on wave 3. I was gonna slap him upside the head if he tried, no one wants the eggs where you can easily get trapped. Hey, the lunatic joined us! No more worries.
>playing splat zones >a random player disconnects mid-game for like 8 matches in a row
Are the ninty servers shit right now? Did I kill them somehow? I feel responsible somehow.
If it’s your teammates or other people disconnecting that doesnt mean its your fault. Before every match a host is selected at random, and its dependent on that persons connection for how stable a match will go. Anyhow so long as your using ethernet and you’re not dial up it should be fine.

ok, this is my completely delusional schizo theory, but i think they're going to give up on three-way splatfests.
Every one of them has been a shitshow, and shiver is on her way to be the most OP idol in the history of the series, in the same way pearl kept winning so much they had to completely redesign splat2 fests.
And, this whole song is about shiver and frye beating the fricking shit out of big man for betraying deep cut, and they have a very good in-canon reason to just kick him off the show. (obviously it'd probably better to kill off frye but we can't always have nice things)
Once he or shiver wins the title of leader, they can just make the executive decision to go thier separate ways, leaving a perfectly reasonable, and actually functional two-creature group that can host actually functional two-sided splatfests.
i know this wouldn't happen in a million years but let me huff my super copium.
If Nintendo actually goes as far as to actually recognize their mistakes and thusly kick Big Meme out of Deep Cut to salvage Splatfests I will 180 my opinion on Splatoon 3 and call it a masterpiece.
They’re not replacing tricolor battle this late into the game’s life. In the next game they can revert back to a 2 way split but we’re stuck with 3 ways for this game, that’s not gonna change. Atleast you know it’s delusional copium.
There’s no reason to replace tricolors. They can be completely avoided by the dweebs that want a weekend of normal Turf, and reducing the options to 2 wont stop the landslides, no matter which idol leaves
If they work it out purely on total amount of shells then yes its bad.
If they take the players who voted for the team and divide it by shells redeemed then its good. That way it rewards the team who had the highest average per player.
Throwing in a 3rd team just fricks up everything. Now the 2 losing teams just end up splitting the categories and cannibalizing each other. Any points the 3rd place team wins are as good as fricking deleted because they're just points being vacuumed up and withheld from the other two for absolutely no gain. The mere act of splitting categories three ways ruins the whole dynamic.
Acting as though the third team’s votes would inherently go to the less popular of the other two and makes things more competitive is idiotic. Even if the third team is a joke, that has no bearing on the competition between the other two

I'm not assuming the 2nd team would just win those points automatically. But you can't assume they might not either. They might or they might not. There have been splatfests where the 3rd team has sucked up points that could have changed the outcome for the 2nd team.

You're only assuming the points would go to the leading team and create a blowout. It might, or it might not, so quit assuming only one thing; there have been splatfests this game which would have been a toss-up if not for the 3rd team nabbing a category for basically nothing. It just creates an even lamer and dissatisfying outcome for everybody involved. The 3rd place team feels like they did jack shit, and the 2nd place team blames the 3rd for their loss. In a 2-team system the outcome is simple and non-contrived; there's none of the bullshit that arises from 3 teams, there's just one winner and one loser, blowout or not.

Do you know what toss-up means? It means the outcome could go either way. Which is the only assumption to make. You don't know which team would have won those points if the 3rd team didn't exist. You're the one making improper assumptions stating that the outcome WILL be this way or that way, that the leading team WILL get the category anyways.

No, you fricking moron. Throwing those points back into the mix doesn’t make things more of a toss up than adding a third team would make any two team splatfest a toss up. It’s complete non point, because it doesn’t speak to the actual competition, only the end result in a totally naive way. If you took away the third team in a close splatfest, there would be scenarios where the leading teams population would have seen a significant increase from the start, making the whole splatfest more dull. That isn’t to say there arent scenarios where it would be closer, but that’s the fricking point. It’s not a straightforward improvement, dumbass

>Once again making assumptions only suited to the leading team gaining a further lead
Do you need me to bust out the kitty and the box of poison to explain to you how this works? The points could go to either team. You're acting like the leading team would just automatically win everything because OBVIOUSLY they're in the lead so they're OBVIOUSLY so much better, as though there haven't been instances of the losing, 3rd place team still winning the most hotly-contested categories like open or tricolor. There's absolutely no reason to just assume the leading team would win whatever categories would be freed up.

You’re completely illiterate. I’m illustrating the scenarios that refute your moronic claim, but even then, I’m explicitly stating the the other scenarios exist. I’ve reiterated that the point is there is no straight benefit from removing the third team, as whether or not it would make more or less competitive, or have no effect at all, is case by case and unknowable. If you can’t understand something this simple, consider kys

People have gone back and forth on whether Suction Bombs count as "lethal bombs" or not - they explode too slowly to be used for damage, chip, or combos, and function more as zoning/area denial tools. Crab isn't exactly a frontline special either, and it's not actually a perfect fit for Splash, despite what you might think. The whole kit looks strong because it's comprised of three good parts, but the synergy isn't all there.
Plus it's overshadowed by Splash and Tetras. Why use it when there are better options.
Frick I'm still seething about Octobrush Nouveau's kit. Suction isn't good on it, and I'm not a fan of Zipcaster. I was really hoping for something good. Doubly worse because they gave the Beakon + Kraken kit to the fricking Krak-on, when it doesn't work on it but DOES work on Octobrush. Frick's sake.

If you're in the UK then you should be able to get them repaired without hassle, I got my joycons repaired for free. Nintendo paid for the courier to pick them up and send them back too. They even replaced a part that looked a bit scuffed without me requesting. Took about 2 weeks total.

I just had a dream that I logged on and the Squid Sisters did the news segment. They reacted to the stages with their own dialogue and I was so happy they finally added this in.
They announced that there was new Eggstra Work coming and that it would also be the debut of the Grizzco Inkbrush Nouveau Also during the news The Captain would just silently giggle in the background and it was really creepy

It's just a single player campaign that they can reuse assets from like every other single player campaign.
>expecting anything more than a rehash.
I don't want a rehash. But the fact that they reused octarians a third time for the single player here goes to show they're not against doing it again. I guarantee you Side Order is going to be octarians again in the same little bit sized levels.
You can give the Splatoon devs two years to make this DLC and I don't think it's gonna be markedly better. They were able to release Octo Expansion BEFORE the one year anniversary, on a new console, for a new game that was also rushed and half baked. That's their bread and butter, pushing out unfinished shit. We're lucky Octo Expansion turned out as good as it did. But let's not pretend it was some revolutionary thing. It was good, but they didn't reinvent the wheel. Just reapplied the concepts and assets with a new aesthetic and more challenging difficulty.
The structure of OE was very different from 1+2’s campaigns. Saying it’s just a new aesthetic and higher difficulty is dumb or disingenuous. Revisionism to support your narrative is pathetic. Everyone knows the devs are lazy and reuse shit. You don’t need to exaggerate.
>>The structure of OE was very different from 1+2’s campaigns.
How?
Many of the levels still are just you going through and doing the motions except with a more specific challenge in mind. It's heavy asset reuse, and gameplay wise it's really not that different. You're going from level to level, tiny little levels, having you do specific gimmicks or challenges for that level.
The only thing that was really unique was the final sequence where you're breaking out of the subway, and they strip away your guns and you're climbing up and up through these long kind of sequential levels, rather than byte sized levels. The byte sized stuff is really nothing new.

Every level in 1-2 has a very similar idea to it. Some of the levels are bigger than others, but generally, each one has a specific gimmick that they're trying to tie into the theme of the level.
Octo Expansion went more in on the challenge aspect of it, but gameplay wise, it's not really revolutionary. They're still tiny little levels with a gimmick to them. That's not that different from 1 and 2.

It's not a revolutionary change. Many of the levels still just are "get to the end".
Listen, I think it's nice that they mixed up, but they didn't reinvent the fricking wheel. The gameplay, at its core, is still very similar. Oh, so instead of getting to the level you have to kill all the enemies? Splat 1 and 2 did that already. There were some challenges in there that were kind of unique, but I recently replayed Octo Expansion and while I think it's much than what 1 and 2 got, I don't think it really think it's as huge a departure of what those modes were.

Eh, it's not exactly just a friend thing, it's a business thing. He's the main songwriter for their group and if he starts writing songs for other idol groups (behind their back mind you) of course they're going to feel a little threatened by it.
Don't forget Splatsville and Inkopolis music groups are often hostile to each other, e.g. C-Side vs Squid Squad so Big Man doing anything with an Inkadian group like the Squid Sisters is basically treason.

Yeah I think it's a letdown we never got to learn anything more about smallfry, or what happened with Lil Judd taking over grizzco. The whole grizzco plot just feels wasted, but I think Grizz will be back and rehabilitated for the next game, like DJ Octavio in a sense.
I was really hoping we could travel to the Salmonid society underground. We got lots of cool lore on them with the deep sea scrolls in 2 but nothing in 3, just stuff on Alterna.
>underground.
**underwater >but squids cant swim in water
It could be a sort of Jar Jar Binks type world where they live in little bubbles. Even OE's metro was technically under the water. Salmonid can clearly breathe and live on land so I'm not convinced their cities are literally underwater.

One point that was mention is them overrunning different locations and even entire towns/cities when enacting Big Run’s, so i’d imagine they’ve claimed some of these cities as their own after overrunning them. Hell, Jammin’ Junction is an old highway they took over and converted into a concert hall
>Hell, Jammin’ Junction is an old highway they took over and converted into a concert hall
Yeah that's a really neat detail. I want to see where that highway leads underwater.
Would love more SR maps that lean more into what the salmonids got going on than just random locations.
For me I want one that takes place outside of some city overtaken by the salmonids and in the background you see that they just live there regularly in their own salmonid society. Gives a look at what happens when a Big Run on a city is successful and that maybe they aren’t all that different from us
I could see them finally getting to the apocalyptic Salmonid stuff, but if they can't even stick to a desert wasteland theme I don't think they'd stick too hard to that.
I could rattle off tweaks and shit, but in terms of big changes, the most obvious thing that could change the gameplay a lot is adding more players per team
The Switch and the current netcode probably wouldn't be able to handle it, but the Switch is on its way out and you'd hope they'd improve the online at some point

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING HOT AND CHAOTIC HOW ABOUT A NICE LOOKING RAIN FOREST OH WAIT THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH EFFORT LAZY homosexualS
They were probably never going to stick too hard to the theme anyway because they want to bring back old maps without having to redo them and on thematic level they don't want to get too far away from the core ideas of Splatoon. So at most if Order had won the new city would be nice and clean and that's it.
>So at most if Order had won the new city would be nice and clean and that's it.
Eh I don't know about that. The idols may have been different, and many of the stages may have been different. You can see in the concept art that Deep Cut are definitely supposed to fit the chaos motif, and they had more futuristic looking idols drawn up too.
But it would be only on the surface like it is right now. The city would be nice and clean and slightly more futuristic, the idols would be something more along the lines of the concept art and be the prime example of the theme though personality-wise they don't reflect it too much, Splatoon's core ideas of individuality and expression don't really mesh well with "Order", but they could have a theme of people mindlessly following trends.
>Splatoon's core ideas of individuality and expression don't really mesh well with "Order"
homie you are tripping, the Inklings are literally a race of hedonistic, vapid, trend-chasing idiots. It's all they care about. They follow all the big brands and all the hot names.
It's a dichotomy where people want to feel like they're unique and special when they're really just following the crowds is what I mean. If Order had won they'd probably play up that angle a lot more whereas with Chaos winning they tried to make it more about individual expression, but either way they wouldn't have gone too far with the theme.
>Suddenly moving backwards and moving to a broke ass dirty hovel of a city is hip and trendy because...it just is okay!?
Yes it would have been better and a proper step forward in narrative progress instead of backward.
Sort of. I feel the gyroscope on the Wii U gamepad was actually pretty good, but there was some issues in the first two games where the camera sort of had a mind of its own, which made aiming more consistent. In 3 that's less of a thing. I think 3 controls pretty damn good right now all things considered, using a pro controller mind you.
Don't turn off gyro though. It takes a few weeks of adjusting to if you're not used to it, but once it clicks it's going to feel a lot more natural, but there is a learning curve.
>which made aiming more consistent.
the whacky camera made aiming *less consistent in 1 and 2. 3's aiming feels a bit better by most accounts because they fixed the weird camera issue
It's about the same, Wii U motion is probably slightly better.
You absolutely should play with motion controls though, since the game has zero aim assist, making stick controls strictly inferior than motion.
Turn them on and go play through the story mode to get used to it. A good starting guide is to use the stick for large movements, and motion to refine your aim.
Drizzlers, like Flyfish, are one of the few enemies that is completely invulnerable for a large portion of time. This makes them very annoying to deal with and people tend to ignore them and their bubbles not realizing how much havoc they can cause. They're definitely a silent killer.

Someone was saying to make it make sense as if Japanese has no archery culture which couldn't be further from the truth. It's not a "splatana" in japan, that's just what they called it in the west. They're all wipers over there.
A bow is more elegant than a sword, and Shiver is the more elegant one, it's not that hard to rationalize.

I thought you were that guy, but I will disagree when you say a bow is more elegant than a sword. I also don't care about what they call it in Japan, splatana is way cooler than wiper.

The argument wasn't about which region has the cooler naming convention. The point is a sword you can just hack and slash away with. A bow takes more technique and precision to be accurate with. I'm not saying there's not an art to sword play, but anyone can pick up a sword and start swinging it, but you can't just pick up a bow and expect to fire it right. It's a weapon that requires more dexterity. Shiver is DEX, Frye STR, and Big Man INT.

@ me when there's suicide rooms
I'm thinking we can try starting a suicide lobby soon. I was thinking of doing it at the next rotation in 2 hours, but I figure it'll be too late for some. Is anyone at a pretty high EVP and want to cash it in for some chances at scales? I'm at 600
400, I can play for a few
Cool, I think we need one more
>in 2 hours
my challenged mind processed it as this next upcoming rotation. If i'm awake in 2 hours i'll join, might climb some more in the meantime
My bad for not being clear. Yea I'm trying to set up a lobby now. Assuming you are one of the anons that agreed earlier without realizing what I meant, then it looks like we're still short a person.
I'll try asking again a little before the next rotation
I'm down right now
Same, so who's the other one
me, i could suicide now
i could try too, at 640
>Haven't played since June
>Hop on x battle
>Second match we're having a bit of a tug of war over the tower, enemy pushes in a bit
>Teammate immediately gives up and just booyahs at spawn
Did everyone stop caring
I had some moron do this during the recent challenge, report his ass. It counts as "unsportsmanlike play - intentionally not contributing." or something similar.
Also my experience with X rank lately is
>Not enough players. Please try again!
>Not enough players. Please try again!
>Not enough players. Please try again!
So I'm not even gonna bother with it anymore, I just play series/open, and no I'm not joining the Japanese division.
Play in the JP division next season of you want to fix that
How laggy is it? I'm on the east coast of US so I'm worried. Also Japs will smoke my ass I know it.
That depends a lot on your Internet I think. I'm in central US and use ethernet and generally my games are pretty smooth. It definitely happens sometimes like I'll get sniped after moving behind a wall. More often than not it's a DC rather than lag for some reason.
news?
someone in the previous thread posted a rumor
But I don't think it has any substance to it. Basically they think a hidden anniversary announcement will come at an upcoming official Nintendo jap turf wars tournament, Koshien
At most it'll probably just be some JP exclusive merch commemorating the 1 year anniversary
I'd love if it were news about the game, but that ain't happening
Previous thread
>>>/vg/
When are we squading up bros
20 minutes i guess
Join my lobby you fricks we go all night
>heh, now it's time to squidbag this squidio-- ACK
Not soon enough, I can tell you that. At the fricking rate this game's been going, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised at December 2024.
Very nice.
I take it that you're in awe of our skills.
Decent first game, though I didn't seem to do much. The hell was the rando doing on the griller wave?
Who?
>not assuming Chord was a clever salmonid infiltrate
incredible
Before the end of the year, I think.
2/4 SR
Alright I'm losing track of people so I'll set up the suicide lobby now and see who we get. I'll password the lobby with 7243 (rage) so people know this isn't for ranking up
oh, saw the room but realized the password too late
Sorry Anon. After 2 kings we should have another slot.
I can go for 1 more cause I'll be at EVP 100 after this
Alright
>4 silvers off freelance
ill be ready with my empty tank of gas
More silvers than us. Invite coming up
Nice we got a team. Looks like we can only do 2 kings with the lowest evp player
Hold up I thought 30 seconds or more is 13 scales. Is it actually 31 seconds?
Yeah we were one off
suction/tristrike should have been a nautilus kit and not crutch-o-matic kit
GGs, excellent king for me to end on, that'll be 1 slot open for anyone who wants to join
Alright if I'm keeping track of our evp numbers, I think we can do 3 before the lowest evp anon has to go
I gotta go after this one so if someone wants in there's a spot open soon
GOLD
I completely miscalculated our evps lmao. ggs to you then.
God damn, you guys are doing suicide runs? I haven't even done one game this shift, just how much have you played?
I you want you can join A nd G
The frick?
Fair enough, I guess. I'll probably do some freelancing in a bit or something.
think he meant "if you want" you can join those guys room
Guess that should've been obvious. In my defense, I was focused on something else.
Albatross and I (G!!!!) are in a room. If you want you can join us.
>got the green tape banner from gacha
Sweet, that's another set of 4. Another step closer to completing the set.
Yeah, sure, why not. Dunno how long I'll stick around.
it's a comfy shift that's shitter proof for the most part so i climbed up a few hundred without realizing it spread out through the day
There we go
EZ gold to start
We got a slot open for suicide lobby. PW is 7243 (rage). We can go for at least 3 kings with our lowest evp
Anon, you're low evp. This is a lobby for suiciding and farming scales. I don't think we can do that if you're already about to demote
My b, I'll do it come back
How low do you want
Well ideally everyone should have a few hundred that they don't mind losing. We die 5 times, which will drop our evp but raise our boss meter, then we fight the king.
>This is a lobby for suiciding and farming scales.
Realistically how soon until Nintendo wises up to this? We gotta keep this on the downlow
Thanks for understanding, Anon. Unless you're fine with demoting I suppose we could've started.
Anyways we still got a slot open.
Frick it we ball
finally got to kill myself in the lobby lads
tell me your secrets
activate training dummy and hurl a bomb at yourself
what does activating mean? kill it and have it respawn? Then throw a bomb straight down?
turn the robot dummy on idiot
I thought you were the anon kysing yourself in the SR training room
smartest veemo
average octard
ez 2nd gold!
If that wasn't gold I was probably gonna leave and never do this again
If you don't mind demoting even more, Anon, I can still go for 2 more kings
It don't matta
Nona this mattas
Anon, you're pretty based for demoting for this. If you're going to climb back up to evp before big run, I'm up for tagging along. I'll help bring you back up tomorrow or something.
Probably, I join off Dog sometimes so we'll probably play before then
Gs this was actually not worth it at all
You just got used and abused by the Suicide crew...
It doesn't take long to climb back up to evp. Don't worry
Up to you how much a gold is worth for you though. The chances of getting one are still pretty low even when doing this.
>Wave 2
>Almost jump into the water again
>4 silver
not bad
the mad man still at it
Nothing like a good suicide to end the game. That wave 1 was absolutely borked, though, I have no idea what was going on half the time.
So much better. Thank god you joined us octoanon.
SOLID GOLD, BABY. Now that's a good night.
Was it really that bad?
Randos ruin everything. Told you that you would get gold if we team up, and with that I'm up to 100 gold scales.
Thank god that guy didn't try the wall thing again on wave 3. I was gonna slap him upside the head if he tried, no one wants the eggs where you can easily get trapped. Hey, the lunatic joined us! No more worries.
>Randos ruin everything
You're not wrong.
At 70 gold scales myself, and I've made 20 of those in the past week!
Damn
>Wagie schedule has me working during night 1 of Big Run
I’m going to kill myself spectacularly
that drizzler spawning lifted me off the ground,,
ggs suicide squad. pretty good scales
ggs with those 2 GOLDS and silvers
im at 340 if there will be another suicide run
FRICK YEAH GOLD
Yeah a gold!
>playing splat zones
>a random player disconnects mid-game for like 8 matches in a row
Are the ninty servers shit right now? Did I kill them somehow? I feel responsible somehow.
it's peer to peer in matches, it's your internet if it's 8 times in a row mate
Shit, well that sucks. I've been running some network tests and the numbers are all great, I'll have to find out what's causing it.
If it’s your teammates or other people disconnecting that doesnt mean its your fault. Before every match a host is selected at random, and its dependent on that persons connection for how stable a match will go. Anyhow so long as your using ethernet and you’re not dial up it should be fine.
anyone wanna suicide run
He decided to grace us with his presence.
THE Brunhilde joined? blessed day
I know right? I can't believe it!
Much, MUCH better. Game just goes so much smoother when you function like a well-oiled machine.
>that drizzler rocket redirect into a OHKO on flyfish
DUDE.
>that drizzler rocket redirect into a OHKO on flyfish
You love to see it.
Holy shit, a boss fight already? I was gonna quit after 2, but I'll stick around for a third.
I'm also going to do one more boss.
>big shots on all waves
Frick you, too, game. The fact I didn't die is a bloody miracle.
Wish I had your luck
>that immediate big shots on wave 3
>like 8 spawn in a row accompanied by bosses and loads of cohocks
What the actual shit, dude.
Like hell you do.
Yeah that was crazy
>he survived solo on the big shot cannon on low tide while the 3 of us were forced to clean up around the basket
This dude has to be a cyborg or some shit.
>4 deaths
And here I thought we could go one game without big shots.
4 silvers not bad. Nice job team.
I'm not entirely sure that was worth 4 silvers, but I'll take anything when it's low tide on this map. Good shit, guys, I'm glad we got some gold tonight.
I'll take those four silver scales. GG's A, BJ, and R. Had a good time.
new splatfest song
This is great. The talking at the beginning is kinda weird but everything else sounds rad
from what I'm getting it's shiver and frye having found out big man collabed with the squid sisters and chewing him out
man's really get caught cheating lmao
>Song was made after Shiver and Frye found how Big Man's secret identity with the Squid Sisters and beat him up
lmao
Holy shit. They have personality? That's great
Holy shit, this fricking kicks ass. This and Ska-Blam! are the first tracks to really grab my attention since the game released. They should keep doing this sort of thing
>the video is about Shiver and Frye beating up Big Man for cheating on them with Callie and Marie
kek
I bumped up to a healthy 280 which ought to enable 3 plays, but I dunno if we could get another two players for it.
400 here, might aswell cash out scales if we can get 2 others to die
Honestly, though, it's pretty late so if it doesn't happen soon I'll probably just go to bed.
The talking is just for the video right? Don't really see a point having it without subtitles mid-game. This song is so fricking good.
Bitchin song
the dan-dan-dan at 45 seconds must be them punching him
>Letting Deep Cut be evil again and physically abuse Big Man for running off with those harlot Squid Sisters
So fricking based
ok, this is my completely delusional schizo theory, but i think they're going to give up on three-way splatfests.
Every one of them has been a shitshow, and shiver is on her way to be the most OP idol in the history of the series, in the same way pearl kept winning so much they had to completely redesign splat2 fests.
And, this whole song is about shiver and frye beating the fricking shit out of big man for betraying deep cut, and they have a very good in-canon reason to just kick him off the show. (obviously it'd probably better to kill off frye but we can't always have nice things)
Once he or shiver wins the title of leader, they can just make the executive decision to go thier separate ways, leaving a perfectly reasonable, and actually functional two-creature group that can host actually functional two-sided splatfests.
i know this wouldn't happen in a million years but let me huff my super copium.
Ok, I'm done. goon night.
*good night. Almost fell asleep on the third wave.
If Nintendo actually goes as far as to actually recognize their mistakes and thusly kick Big Meme out of Deep Cut to salvage Splatfests I will 180 my opinion on Splatoon 3 and call it a masterpiece.
>pearl kept winning
anon, they redesigned because Marina kept winning
It was whoever the most popular team was in any region
A problem we're still fricking having to this day
Splatfests should go back to regional, or atleast make japs fight themselves, because they literally decide the results of every splatfest now.
>japs decide the results in japanese game
oh the horror
they have the capacity to do it, they even added a fourth region, but they haven't been using it for some reason. makes you wonder what the point is
They’re not replacing tricolor battle this late into the game’s life. In the next game they can revert back to a 2 way split but we’re stuck with 3 ways for this game, that’s not gonna change. Atleast you know it’s delusional copium.
There’s no reason to replace tricolors. They can be completely avoided by the dweebs that want a weekend of normal Turf, and reducing the options to 2 wont stop the landslides, no matter which idol leaves
They need to do away with Conch shdlls as a category, it basically is just a second popular vote most of the time.
If they work it out purely on total amount of shells then yes its bad.
If they take the players who voted for the team and divide it by shells redeemed then its good. That way it rewards the team who had the highest average per player.
Eh you can just decrease conch and popularity more, they used to be worth a lot more. Now what actually matters is people showing up to play.
Also get rid of synergy bonuses for open mode.
Throwing in a 3rd team just fricks up everything. Now the 2 losing teams just end up splitting the categories and cannibalizing each other. Any points the 3rd place team wins are as good as fricking deleted because they're just points being vacuumed up and withheld from the other two for absolutely no gain. The mere act of splitting categories three ways ruins the whole dynamic.
Acting as though the third team’s votes would inherently go to the less popular of the other two and makes things more competitive is idiotic. Even if the third team is a joke, that has no bearing on the competition between the other two
I'm not assuming the 2nd team would just win those points automatically. But you can't assume they might not either. They might or they might not. There have been splatfests where the 3rd team has sucked up points that could have changed the outcome for the 2nd team.
And it’s equally as likely those points would have gone to the leading team and made the competition a blowout
Which is an outcome no different than when the 3rd team was withholding said points anyways, you realize
That’s my entire point, idiot. You’re claiming that removing a 3rd team automatically makes shit better, when it could be having a negligible affect or even a positive one in circumstances of close losses that would otherwise have been blowouts.
You're only assuming the points would go to the leading team and create a blowout. It might, or it might not, so quit assuming only one thing; there have been splatfests this game which would have been a toss-up if not for the 3rd team nabbing a category for basically nothing. It just creates an even lamer and dissatisfying outcome for everybody involved. The 3rd place team feels like they did jack shit, and the 2nd place team blames the 3rd for their loss. In a 2-team system the outcome is simple and non-contrived; there's none of the bullshit that arises from 3 teams, there's just one winner and one loser, blowout or not.
Fricking illiterate. I’m assuming it’ll be a wash overall, you’re assuming it’ll go towards the worse team and make thing more competitive, as evidenced by this:
>there have been splatfests this game which would have been a toss-up if not for the 3rd team nabbing a category for basically nothing
Unfounded conjecture. And anyone blaming the third team for the loss is an idiot, such as yourself
Do you know what toss-up means? It means the outcome could go either way. Which is the only assumption to make. You don't know which team would have won those points if the 3rd team didn't exist. You're the one making improper assumptions stating that the outcome WILL be this way or that way, that the leading team WILL get the category anyways.
No, you fricking moron. Throwing those points back into the mix doesn’t make things more of a toss up than adding a third team would make any two team splatfest a toss up. It’s complete non point, because it doesn’t speak to the actual competition, only the end result in a totally naive way. If you took away the third team in a close splatfest, there would be scenarios where the leading teams population would have seen a significant increase from the start, making the whole splatfest more dull. That isn’t to say there arent scenarios where it would be closer, but that’s the fricking point. It’s not a straightforward improvement, dumbass
>Once again making assumptions only suited to the leading team gaining a further lead
Do you need me to bust out the kitty and the box of poison to explain to you how this works? The points could go to either team. You're acting like the leading team would just automatically win everything because OBVIOUSLY they're in the lead so they're OBVIOUSLY so much better, as though there haven't been instances of the losing, 3rd place team still winning the most hotly-contested categories like open or tricolor. There's absolutely no reason to just assume the leading team would win whatever categories would be freed up.
>only making assumptions suited to the leading team
>”That isn’t to say there arent scenarios where it would be closer, but that’s the fricking point.”
You’re completely illiterate. I’m illustrating the scenarios that refute your moronic claim, but even then, I’m explicitly stating the the other scenarios exist. I’ve reiterated that the point is there is no straight benefit from removing the third team, as whether or not it would make more or less competitive, or have no effect at all, is case by case and unknowable. If you can’t understand something this simple, consider kys

so 3 so far up for suiciding?
i can join
I'll join
ill open a suicide lobby then

Who?
Enough fooling around, gotta sleep. Thanks once more for the scales, and the sweet, sweet gold. See you guys next shift, and don't go forgetting that she is best daughter.
>he doesn't know
Tell me
I know right? I was saying all its missing Donald and we have the full set but there was none.nI really want to do it myself but finger drawing is hell and i miss having a stylus because the Switch is picky as hell on what it allows me to draw on it.

what exactly is so bad about normal dualies that they are never used despite the kit?
kit is "unfit" for a frontliner and if you really wanna crab, why not use splash?
if you wanna be a dualies nuisance, you go with tetra
mogged by every other dualie i guess, it's trying to be a jack of all trades but it's more like a 6
People have gone back and forth on whether Suction Bombs count as "lethal bombs" or not - they explode too slowly to be used for damage, chip, or combos, and function more as zoning/area denial tools. Crab isn't exactly a frontline special either, and it's not actually a perfect fit for Splash, despite what you might think. The whole kit looks strong because it's comprised of three good parts, but the synergy isn't all there.
Plus it's overshadowed by Splash and Tetras. Why use it when there are better options.
Frick I'm still seething about Octobrush Nouveau's kit. Suction isn't good on it, and I'm not a fan of Zipcaster. I was really hoping for something good. Doubly worse because they gave the Beakon + Kraken kit to the fricking Krak-on, when it doesn't work on it but DOES work on Octobrush. Frick's sake.
If Marie is supposed to be Deep Cut's boss I can't imagine she'd be too happy about them beating up Big Man for collaborating with his boss

And I know how to take a screenshot dumbass. I was asking how to take a screenshot of a specific youtube frame instead of having to wait for the dumb yt ui to frick off.
God, chill out.
YOU'RE A FRICKING IDIOT!
Ok anon. You're going overboard. No need to go that far ok?
I'll take back my question if you take back your insults...
i'm not playing nice with you homosexual and I'm not taking anything back. Go ask your goofy question to a search engine and frick off
Y-You think my question was... goofy?
Anon listen.
Are you on a phone or a computer?
Here's what you do if you're on a computer
Press the print screen button located in the top part of your keyboard while the video is playing. Don't pause it. Press the button and it will take a screen cap of everything on your screen into your clipboard.
Open up paint, ctrl + v. Save the image. You now have a screenshot, congratulations.
Yes anon. Like I said, I already know how to do that but I appreciate you for explaining.
But say I wanted to take save a picture of a specific frame that goes by super fast. What's the best way of taking a pic then?
>how do you do the backwards b
You can just right-click on the paused video that has the frame you want to take, and "Take Snapshot".
It still doesn't really help because of the youtube ui getting in the way.
But you know what, it's fine. I'll look it up on Google some other time. Thanks.
You're a real cool guy you know that?
Anon, NTA, but I'm the guy who told you to just use press the Print Screen button while the video is playing. It's not a frame perfect capture, you have seconds to get this particular screen if that's what you want. I did it with the PrintScreen method.
Not a perfect solution either and I know of that method too but like I said, it's fine.
You're also really amazing anon. Thanks for helping me.
I'm the one who called you an idiot but I started feeling sorry for you, you're welcome stupid.
Aww! You're such a cute little grumpy anon!
Don't patronize me mother F'er....
See? You can't even bring yourself to call me mother fricker now. And you were calling me an idiot in all caps, minutes ago.
I think you like me anon.
Kinda crazy how fast people can pump out good art for this. Splatoon just seems to generate a lot of good fanart in general
remember that first piece of splatoon porn was like 20 minutes after the announcement

You know what I meant morons. The point still stands that the dumb manta ray is a complete pussy that is only alive because he has Shiver and Frye protecting him.
He's probably circumcised and doesn't even have the poisonous stinger like other manta rays.
You're a moronic homosexual obsessed with dicks
I am a moronic homosexual obsessed with dicks. But I hate Big Man so much that I'd rather side with the women this time
I hope you're on Team Frye then because I don't want a gay moron like you on my team
I'm actually joining team Big Man so I can throw all my matches and hopefully get to see Big Man get beat up and cry again.
Ok moron
From memory, Shviver and Frye are the heirs of their clans but I'm not sure if Bigman is.
Fricking excuse you?

Literally just be aware. Look around, listen with your ears, pay attention.
Awareness is the number 1 most important thing to develop for SR, because if you develop that you will develop everything else

assuming this is a 3 wave shift with no extra wave, that's 4-5 deaths per wave. That's awful. 4-5 deaths per SHIFT should be the max. I don't know if I've ever seen someone die so much in Salmon Run. They're basically dying every 15 seconds at that rate.

Shiver and Frye are just jealous that Big Man is laying his tracks down on the squid sister instead of rocking the boat with them if you know what I mean

Now that we know lInklings are the product of actual human DNA and psywaves imprinting onto squids I wonder if impregnating one could actually work
The emotion LDC shit is such dumb thing
We never needed to know that the Inklings rapid-evolved with the aid of magic mumbo jumbo bullshit. Ultimately it doesn't add anything and there's was nothing wrong with the going assumption that they just evolved naturally out of the ocean.
I think it's neat.

Genuinely why do people even get worked up over the outcome of splatfests? You get relatively the same amount of rewards if you lose. Why do you care?
Because I hate smug people. It's not about the rewards, sometimes brats need correction.
If you won more often you would be smug too.
No, I'd just join the contrarian team the next time.
>being a contrarian is...LE GOOD!
how about just picking the team you like homosexual
morons still think being le contrarian is personality
makes it all too better to dab on them time and time again, come on b***hes join team frye and get the blowout you deserve
Bingo.
But I like Frye.
You have good taste
>t.
>hmm 3 way splatfests didn't work as well as we thought...
>I know, let's make the next game have 4 way splatfests instead!
It will be four idols but a two way splatfest again.
>Two feuding idol duos
Kino. Just please make all of them cute or sexy girls for fricks sake.
I am praying they don't have b*y idols, that'd be disgusting
Heavy metal rivalry like megadeth and metallica
My Pro Controller is drifting.
If you take it apart, and thoroughly clean it and apply contact cleaner it should fix it.
A set of screwdrivers to take it apart is really cheap as well.
Is there a fix for the snapback? That shit annoys the hell out of me
If you're in the UK then you should be able to get them repaired without hassle, I got my joycons repaired for free. Nintendo paid for the courier to pick them up and send them back too. They even replaced a part that looked a bit scuffed without me requesting. Took about 2 weeks total.
they only repair joycons for free, not pro controllers.
>Replace idols with bands
>splatfests become battle between bands
>groups swap every few weeks
>only ever one band vs another
>splatfest songs become mashup between their music
Better?
Not my first choice, but I'd get hyped for it.
I'd only support this to see the bloodbath between C-Side and Front Roe
Since when was that a thing? Is that even a thing?
Ichiya and C-Side's Beika had a falling out at some point, the former refuses to play in the Splatlands while the latter claims ownership of "Now or Never!".

I just had a dream that I logged on and the Squid Sisters did the news segment. They reacted to the stages with their own dialogue and I was so happy they finally added this in.
They announced that there was new Eggstra Work coming and that it would also be the debut of the Grizzco Inkbrush Nouveau
Also during the news The Captain would just silently giggle in the background and it was really creepy
blaming your loss on the third team is weapon grade cope
Hot.

They don't, but try telling them that.
I would, but they might beat me up.
Ah, thanks. Does anyone have what Frye is saying?
Yeah Nintendo already posted the English version
Based Big Man getting out of this failing idol group while he can.
see
I'm picking Frye because she throws a good punch
she also knows how to throw the match
I just noticed that the artist forgot to draw Frye's tights.
My dumb-ass couldn't figure out Shiver's pose for the longest time here because I was mistaking Frye's hand for hers.
You better hope that shit comes late because if it doesn't it's gonna be rushed trash like the rest of this game.
Yeah let's hope it comes at the end of 2024 when people have long stopped giving a shit about this game, great idea moron
It's just a single player campaign that they can reuse assets from like every other single player campaign.
>wanting yet another rehash
>expecting anything more than a rehash.
I don't want a rehash. But the fact that they reused octarians a third time for the single player here goes to show they're not against doing it again. I guarantee you Side Order is going to be octarians again in the same little bit sized levels.
You can give the Splatoon devs two years to make this DLC and I don't think it's gonna be markedly better. They were able to release Octo Expansion BEFORE the one year anniversary, on a new console, for a new game that was also rushed and half baked. That's their bread and butter, pushing out unfinished shit. We're lucky Octo Expansion turned out as good as it did. But let's not pretend it was some revolutionary thing. It was good, but they didn't reinvent the wheel. Just reapplied the concepts and assets with a new aesthetic and more challenging difficulty.
The structure of OE was very different from 1+2’s campaigns. Saying it’s just a new aesthetic and higher difficulty is dumb or disingenuous. Revisionism to support your narrative is pathetic. Everyone knows the devs are lazy and reuse shit. You don’t need to exaggerate.
>>The structure of OE was very different from 1+2’s campaigns.
How?
Many of the levels still are just you going through and doing the motions except with a more specific challenge in mind. It's heavy asset reuse, and gameplay wise it's really not that different. You're going from level to level, tiny little levels, having you do specific gimmicks or challenges for that level.
The only thing that was really unique was the final sequence where you're breaking out of the subway, and they strip away your guns and you're climbing up and up through these long kind of sequential levels, rather than byte sized levels. The byte sized stuff is really nothing new.
>”How?”
>”You're going from level to level, tiny little levels, having you do specific gimmicks or challenges for that level”
You literally articulated how, idiot. Replay 1/2 if you really remember so little about them
Every level in 1-2 has a very similar idea to it. Some of the levels are bigger than others, but generally, each one has a specific gimmick that they're trying to tie into the theme of the level.
Octo Expansion went more in on the challenge aspect of it, but gameplay wise, it's not really revolutionary. They're still tiny little levels with a gimmick to them. That's not that different from 1 and 2.
>“Adding completely different objectives to levels instead of having them all be platformer stages is not significant gameplay difference”
You’re an idiot. Just because it’s not big open spaces doesn’t mean it’s not a significant change
It's not a revolutionary change. Many of the levels still just are "get to the end".
Listen, I think it's nice that they mixed up, but they didn't reinvent the fricking wheel. The gameplay, at its core, is still very similar. Oh, so instead of getting to the level you have to kill all the enemies? Splat 1 and 2 did that already. There were some challenges in there that were kind of unique, but I recently replayed Octo Expansion and while I think it's much than what 1 and 2 got, I don't think it really think it's as huge a departure of what those modes were.
The levels aren't connected with each other. They are isolated little bit sized challenges of mario galaxy esque platforms floating out in the middle of nowhere and you jump from one to the other.

What are some threads on Ganker that aren't shit? At least people here are talking about video games, AND! AND! they're *playing* video games together. Insane concept I know.
Shitflinging about the /vg/ thread and an extended seethe off started by computer illiteracy is not really talking about the game. It’s probably as shit as any other longstanding game thread on Ganker though
>wahhh someone in the thread is trying to start shit with a different board
It's a shitposter, and they exist in every thread. Majority of people are able to play the game with each other and have fun, and discuss the game, with a little banter mixed in. Nobody really gives a shit what /vg/ is doing. Why do you care? You're getting hung up on one silly moment in one thread, when the majority of the thread IS talking about the new content. So what the frick are you on about? Are you from /ink/ or something?
>wahh, stop pointing out how shit the thread is and that we spend more time talking about boogeymen than the game
>wait, YOU’RE THE BOOGEYMAN
QED
I just don't even know why you would even care that these threads have what is essentially a friendly rivalry with each other. Why do you have a problem with that exactly? Not to mention, it's really only a few bad actors that are trying to stir shit up. All you're doing is just feeding into that. Why not just talk about the game then yeah? Just ignore the trolls, don't feed them. Basic stuff.
It’s fricking stupid and makes the threads a cess pool to wade through. I can ignore it fine, but the thread doesn’t become hood instantly. I merely pointed that out, and yet you have to cry about it to me
Alright, well then start contributing some better posts then homosexual. Whining about shitposts doesn't change anything. Be the change you want to see or frick off.
You think these are the only posts I’m making? Feel free to shut the frick up and make the threads better

Eh, it's not exactly just a friend thing, it's a business thing. He's the main songwriter for their group and if he starts writing songs for other idol groups (behind their back mind you) of course they're going to feel a little threatened by it.
Plus he did it behind their backs when he could've involved them in the collab and gotten them paid
But he didn't
Yeah that's kinda shady to be honest, deserves to get the shit beat out of him.

They threw the match because they didn't want to play with a filthy gaijin shitter
same
Don't forget Splatsville and Inkopolis music groups are often hostile to each other, e.g. C-Side vs Squid Squad so Big Man doing anything with an Inkadian group like the Squid Sisters is basically treason.
Also, consider that his excuse falls flat because if he really thought what he was doing was fine he wouldn't have bothered with a disguise and alias.
>already the most developed idol group
>have another DLC coming
Why can't they stop winning Ganker
dev favoritism at work
same reason why order is getting two fricking campaigns despite losing the splatfest
Splatoon has reached a stage where they know they can lean on nostalgia bait and so don't care as much as to flesh out the new stuff.
There's no way Deep Cut isn't involved.
Hell, I bet this splatfest affects side order in a way.
>There's no way Deep Cut isn't involved.

it's obvious they're scrambling to try and find ways to get the playerbase to come back because people are leaving in droves
>it's obvious they're trying to [doomposter headcanon]
I'm pretty sure all they give a shit is the japanese audience which is still going strong. Appealing to gaijins is an afterthought with this series, you should know this.
This seems like some shitty circular logic
>game is declining in popularity
>devs try adding something cool to the game
>well of course they're adding stuff now that people are leaving so forced
So are the devs meant to just leave the game to die then?
you're replying to disingenuous shitposter with bad faith arguments, why even bother
I don't see it. This all lines up with their characterization.
They're violent criminals.
What would you want from a hypothetical Splatoon 4?
Salmon run
but you already got salmon run
We’ve had one yes but what about second salmon run
you already have a next wave
We’ve had one next wave yes, but what about second next wave
series reboot, wipe the slate clean
A non-rushed game for once that isn't 70% asset reuse
so not gonna happen
Sharp left turn into post apocalyptic struggle for survival against the endless Salmon horde
Yeah I think it's a letdown we never got to learn anything more about smallfry, or what happened with Lil Judd taking over grizzco. The whole grizzco plot just feels wasted, but I think Grizz will be back and rehabilitated for the next game, like DJ Octavio in a sense.
I was really hoping we could travel to the Salmonid society underground. We got lots of cool lore on them with the deep sea scrolls in 2 but nothing in 3, just stuff on Alterna.
>underground.
**underwater
>but squids cant swim in water
It could be a sort of Jar Jar Binks type world where they live in little bubbles. Even OE's metro was technically under the water. Salmonid can clearly breathe and live on land so I'm not convinced their cities are literally underwater.
One point that was mention is them overrunning different locations and even entire towns/cities when enacting Big Run’s, so i’d imagine they’ve claimed some of these cities as their own after overrunning them. Hell, Jammin’ Junction is an old highway they took over and converted into a concert hall
>Hell, Jammin’ Junction is an old highway they took over and converted into a concert hall
Yeah that's a really neat detail. I want to see where that highway leads underwater.
Would love more SR maps that lean more into what the salmonids got going on than just random locations.
For me I want one that takes place outside of some city overtaken by the salmonids and in the background you see that they just live there regularly in their own salmonid society. Gives a look at what happens when a Big Run on a city is successful and that maybe they aren’t all that different from us
yes
the big run splatlands should have been the default hub
I could see them finally getting to the apocalyptic Salmonid stuff, but if they can't even stick to a desert wasteland theme I don't think they'd stick too hard to that.
All the setup is there but they'll never fricking do it.
All 4 idols are relatives of Frye
I could rattle off tweaks and shit, but in terms of big changes, the most obvious thing that could change the gameplay a lot is adding more players per team
The Switch and the current netcode probably wouldn't be able to handle it, but the Switch is on its way out and you'd hope they'd improve the online at some point

Do you guys think Splatoon 3 would have been better if Order won?
No, it still would've been a rushed piece of shit but at least we wouldn't have been bait and switched with Chaos
It makes no difference
Significantly
FRICK UGLY DRY ASS DESERTS
FRICK YOUUU
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING HOT AND CHAOTIC HOW ABOUT A NICE LOOKING RAIN FOREST OH WAIT THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH EFFORT LAZY homosexualS
They were probably never going to stick too hard to the theme anyway because they want to bring back old maps without having to redo them and on thematic level they don't want to get too far away from the core ideas of Splatoon. So at most if Order had won the new city would be nice and clean and that's it.
>So at most if Order had won the new city would be nice and clean and that's it.
Eh I don't know about that. The idols may have been different, and many of the stages may have been different. You can see in the concept art that Deep Cut are definitely supposed to fit the chaos motif, and they had more futuristic looking idols drawn up too.
But it would be only on the surface like it is right now. The city would be nice and clean and slightly more futuristic, the idols would be something more along the lines of the concept art and be the prime example of the theme though personality-wise they don't reflect it too much, Splatoon's core ideas of individuality and expression don't really mesh well with "Order", but they could have a theme of people mindlessly following trends.
Yeah, it seems like they had some deeper ideas that got scraped in order to play it safe.
>Splatoon's core ideas of individuality and expression don't really mesh well with "Order"
homie you are tripping, the Inklings are literally a race of hedonistic, vapid, trend-chasing idiots. It's all they care about. They follow all the big brands and all the hot names.
It's a dichotomy where people want to feel like they're unique and special when they're really just following the crowds is what I mean. If Order had won they'd probably play up that angle a lot more whereas with Chaos winning they tried to make it more about individual expression, but either way they wouldn't have gone too far with the theme.
>Suddenly moving backwards and moving to a broke ass dirty hovel of a city is hip and trendy because...it just is okay!?
Yes it would have been better and a proper step forward in narrative progress instead of backward.
Butthurt ordertard
No, it would only be an aesthetic change
is motion control on the Switch better than the Wii U? I'm playing the first game right now and I had to turn it off
Sort of. I feel the gyroscope on the Wii U gamepad was actually pretty good, but there was some issues in the first two games where the camera sort of had a mind of its own, which made aiming more consistent. In 3 that's less of a thing. I think 3 controls pretty damn good right now all things considered, using a pro controller mind you.
Don't turn off gyro though. It takes a few weeks of adjusting to if you're not used to it, but once it clicks it's going to feel a lot more natural, but there is a learning curve.
>which made aiming more consistent.
the whacky camera made aiming *less consistent in 1 and 2. 3's aiming feels a bit better by most accounts because they fixed the weird camera issue
It's about the same, Wii U motion is probably slightly better.
You absolutely should play with motion controls though, since the game has zero aim assist, making stick controls strictly inferior than motion.
Turn them on and go play through the story mode to get used to it. A good starting guide is to use the stick for large movements, and motion to refine your aim.
I hope they have an actual fallout with real consequences.
10,000 drizzlers!
We've come a long way
Drizzles are the single worst boss salmon
They wouldn't be as bad if they didn't have ten billion HP for no reason at all
I guess it's to incentivize deflecting their missile back. And to make it harder to simply shoot him to death, then shoot the missile after.
Drizzlers, like Flyfish, are one of the few enemies that is completely invulnerable for a large portion of time. This makes them very annoying to deal with and people tend to ignore them and their bubbles not realizing how much havoc they can cause. They're definitely a silent killer.
Man just like 3 of them on the map can make it a wrap.
This 100%
>Rain doesn't seem threatening so people ignore the torpedoes
>Long invulnerability periods are annoying so people go find something else to do
>Abnormally large health pool makes it a pain to gun down so people ignore shooting it if they can't land a torpedo
its hard to shoot the bubble back when you have 15 different bosses all trying to butt rape you because timothy is camping big shot cannons by the shore
im sorry my queen shiver ill try harder i promise
Make her proud anon
would be cool if she had a splatana and frye had something else kinda like that art of link and shiek from oot fighting all the skeleotns
Closest thing you'll get to that is all that Zeldafest art we got
I was excited for the zelda fest but didn't play it because my controller was broken. I've since got it fixed. That's some cool art. I love shiverdorf!
Yeah some of the best art we got came out of that fest
post more please I wasn't here for this. This is awesome
Sure thing boss, but I mostly have Shiverdorf stuff saved

what are you going on about I just said it would look cool if shiver had a splatana
>>what are you going on about I just said it would look cool if shiver had a splatana
Someone was saying to make it make sense as if Japanese has no archery culture which couldn't be further from the truth. It's not a "splatana" in japan, that's just what they called it in the west. They're all wipers over there.
A bow is more elegant than a sword, and Shiver is the more elegant one, it's not that hard to rationalize.
I thought you were that guy, but I will disagree when you say a bow is more elegant than a sword. I also don't care about what they call it in Japan, splatana is way cooler than wiper.
The argument wasn't about which region has the cooler naming convention. The point is a sword you can just hack and slash away with. A bow takes more technique and precision to be accurate with. I'm not saying there's not an art to sword play, but anyone can pick up a sword and start swinging it, but you can't just pick up a bow and expect to fire it right. It's a weapon that requires more dexterity. Shiver is DEX, Frye STR, and Big Man INT.
>Japanese Octo has a bow
>Indian Squid has a sword
Make it make sense, please.
Octo has a bow
Japanese armies were famous for their mounted horse bowmen. Archery has always been a big deal over there, not just swordplay.
Okay but the sword's literally called "Splatana"
>he thinks the west matters
In Japan the entire class is just called wipers. Don't put much weight into the Nintendo Treehouse localizations because a lot of them aren't consistent with the other regions naming conventions.
Words cannot express how much Japan frustrates me
a splatana is a katana
This art was actually heavily inspired by the Doom coverart, of which someone made a SR mockup of already but it'd be cool to see it with deepcut
Anyone want to some salmon until a boss right now?
Ehhh I already played this rotation a fair amount
New rotation in < 4 hours
Lookin pretty kino if you ask me, will definitely be down to play then
