Shiver will be replacing Octavio in Splat 4 confirmed
Shame we'll never get a good game mode like payload. We'll be stuck with knock off KotH, CTF, Player destruction, and a somewhat better designed 5cp modes instead.
There was that interview from the director that said he didn't want to add any additional ranked modes because it would complicate things too much. He only left clam blitz in because he didn't want to remove someone's favorite mode.
What a fucking fag. We're probably never getting any more modes because of that retarded ideology.
Yet they added these challenges which are so awfully implemented
All the p4p modes remain relatively unchanged outside a few tweaks. I'm just not a fan of how this series creativity is starting to stagnate a bit.
At least they didn't actually shove them into league mode like they originally planned. Imagine trying to play ranked with your friends but too bad, it's time for trizooka spam.
I want new modes though, man. The only downside is that it would take longer for your favorite mode to rotate in and X rank would have even more modes to autistically grind.
>There was that interview from the director that said he didn't want to add any additional ranked modes
wait really
lame, if they don't want to add a proper new main mode to pvp or whatever at least add one to salmon instead
>There was that interview from the director that said he didn't want to add any additional ranked modes because it would complicate things too much. He only left clam blitz in because he didn't want to remove someone's favorite mode.
Adding in new content would complicate things? I don't get these fucking devs, man. They're so damn afraid of "splitting" their playerbase despite the fact it's their most popular new IP in about 15 years. Just give us more, you clods.

Indeed. Frye can have a pity win if she must sometimes, but I refused to allow her to win the best girl fest. The hilarity of that statement is that going by the win rates in each category, she never stood a fucking chance.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, wanted to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass. I found the source.
>I see that the number of players has increased considerably. Regarding the battles, why are the battle game modes the same as in S2?
"Sato: In the world of Splatoon, Turf Wars are an enduringly popular sport. I don't think that will change in the future. So one reason is to stay consistent with the setting. Another reason is that we want to make sure that a variety of people can play the game, and if we add more game modes, we will have to ask people to figure out new rules. On the other hand, we cannot reduce the number of old game modes in order to add new ones. Every game mode must be someone’s favorite, so we decided to refine each game mode rather than eliminate existing ones."
Unless he has a change of heart I don't think we'll ever be getting new modes, even in Splatoon 4. Surely it can't take that long to figure out how to play a new mode. If they have ideas for modes and can fit it into the content roadmap then I have no idea why they don't just do that. Not developing modes just to keep the game simple is fucking stupid.
>we don't want to add in new game modes because then players would have to learn something new
So they basically think the majority of Splatoon players are retarded. I want to slap him, but it's hard to disagree with that notion. Still not an excuse for not adding new content, though.

It seems like he's fine with people learning new modes, he just doesn't want any one game to have too many modes so it doesn't become too complicated. He mentioned that he considered removing modes to replace them with new ones. Seems like 4 modes is the limit for what we can have in a Splatoon game. The dev team and their decisions truly baffle me.

I do and I don't. But each time she loses I feel a little more sorry for her. I didn't want her to win the idol fest thoughever!

Based opinion. The best thing about RM and CB is that they reward good play more than the others. They're the only modes that can be knocked out basically instantly if you play well enough rather than waiting for a timer to slowly progress like SZ and the tower's slow ass movement. It allows for very quick last minute comebacks, a game is never really hopeless. Very fun modes.
I'm normally not a fan of CtF modes in shooters, but I feel like Splatoon could make it work. Though that may just be the 2Fort trauma speaking. My Unreal memories are really fuzzy by this point.

I think making Shiver a bona fide villain would actually work for the series and fit her personality. They're already thieves and she is the most smug and let's say Machiavellian of the three.
>when Callie was winning all the Splatfests they changed it to make it 'even' which somehow ended up with Marie winning most of them afterward >when Marina was winning all the Splatfests they changed it to make it 'even' which somehow ended up with Pearl winning most of them afterward
>Shiver has won 8 out of 10 Splatfests so far but this is fine.
Is it because she's modeled to be Japanese?
They did make an adjustment to the points though. They made tricolor its own section first.
Then in a later update they adjusted it again and made popularity and conchs worth less, but battles worth more, making it a little more balanced but it still hasn't changed much
Well it depends. Some of them were given pretty bad choices. Big man being given "fun" for the gear fest which basically any person would pick Gear. Frye was given "grub" which was equally stupid.
Big man was given sour in the flavor fest. Frye was gifted sweet which is the only time she won.
Then other times it's weird. Big man won white chocolate allegedley because of white ink. He won water when people expected fire to win in the pokemon fest. Other times Big Man or Frye haven't gotten some of the best options, but they have gotten some strong options too. Frye was gifted Aliens but somehow Shiver pulled ahead with Nessie. Big man was fucked by being given big foot which just doesn't have as much appeal outside the americas.
Seems this three choice sat fest has really been considered properly. Three choices are way way more than just adding another choice, it’s about making sure they’re all equal
Pretty much yeah, it's been a mess from the very beginning. They'll likely go back to two choices for the next game.

but nope
max the encephalopathy slider, we goin to mars.
- Giant 6 Head
- awful looking Flaps protruding off of her Eyemask
- Weird looking eyelashes that is not natural to inklings
- Ridiculously long ears and teeth
- God awful Baggy Pants with holes in them
- Ugly toeless Socks
Hmmmmmmmmm, it’s a mystery!
this was actually gonna effect the new position of nintendo CEO, and the canidates were a fellow japanese, an australian, and a poo in the loo because they're trying to take over all major tech corpos
the splatoon team is rightfully aware of the shitter's plan to ruin nintendo into the ground to be bought up by india so the splatoon team fought back
Splatoon fans are pornography addicts who covet shiver as a character because they imagine having sex with her. They find this hard to do with Frye and in their own little "protest" they only ever team with shiver on regular popularity contests.
Yes this is a childs game but the manchildren playing it are deeply mentally unwell. Log in and look around for a few seconds and you will see pornography and sexual messaging literally scrawled onto all of the walls with the in game messaging and art system if you don't believe me.
okay anon, you got me...but please understand i could only pick one of them
[spolier]btwthouever i've never played any of the games and don't discriminate. now what?[/spoiler]
Frye does not look that good most of the time. Her best looks is whenever she's emoting at which at which point her humongous eyelashes come into play. Hell everything about Frye points in the direction of a design that Nintendo gave up with, and the concept art from the 3rd Splatoon book grants further clarity on this. If they actually went ahead with the full on gyaru and played up the fact she's a vampire squid, they could've had something good with Frye.
/vg/ is all about their "toons", avatarfagging and roleplaying, taking pictures together etc. that's why the association is there. Some people are trying to get away from that, post yours if you want or not I don't give a damn.
New player from 2 days ago. Fuck this game's fun, and goddamn Callieeeeeee fack, no longer am I just a Callie coomer
Missed Splatfest because I was focused on story stuff, but I tried Turf Wars today and man it's fun, but i'm shit with roller kekk
>Is the pvp still dogshit?
Yeah if you thought it was dog shit before then not much has changed. Connections are slightly more stable than at launch, but it's still dodgy. Tick rate still shit. Weapon balance is a little better, at least not broken like Splat 2. Stages haven't been altered BUT they did introduce a couple of actually decent levels for once. All the other tetris blocks remain unchanged however.
It was unironically rigged against Shiver considering the Frye/Big Man alliance.
Shiver's victory despite that just shows she has the most determined, and strongest player base.

Shitposter's creed my brother. Thee who creates the most salt shall be supported purely for the "rees"
Those people feel like outliers. I guess saying "any of you" was a bit of an exaggeration but it really does feel like the majority of this board doesn't enjoy ranked at all.
I don't know. If you look at the actual notifications sometimes it's ONLY ranked play going on. They may not be the most sociable but a lot of players here do play ranked and some of them have spoken out and said they get anxiety about playing with groups. The salmon run players are naturally more easy going, but the ranked players here are a bit more shy. Been trying to get people to play more because there's some good players. They're worried about being shit talked or whatever, and schizos namedropping and starting drama all the time certainly isn't helping
I guess that's the kind of crowd that would be drawn to a mode that can only be played solo if you want to make any meaningful progress. Open battles may as well be unranked because you gain and lose so few points that it doesn't matter. I could win 40 open matches and gain the same amount from winning 5 in a series. I wish more would play with the pool just for fun. With how little those points matter, I don't think anyone should be too worried about their performance.
I'm telling you, there's been an uptick in open play recently. If you want to play open just make a mention in the thread and you can get people interested. If you just make a random room at any time though chances are it might not fill up, regardless of mode. Been trying to reassure people whether they play good or bad really doesn't matter all that much, open does have very little consequences. But people want to be the best they can be and improve, some just get anxious about performance around others.

The one fag that posted a webm of the pool during the splatfest really makes me think otherwise. That was such a dick move. I can't imagine anyone wants to play with someone like that. I'm not usually for the blacklist drama bullshit but I think we should legitimately avoid people that are known to do shit like that.

Oh you mean the splatling vs the aerospray guy?
Thing is, I had never seen either of those guys play until the splatfest. Those were just event-only tourists who likely aren't going to play with the pool again until the next big event.
The guy made a fool of himself because he showed he didn't even understand what the point of turf wars was.
I'm that one fag with the severe anxiety. Yeah, being judged does make me less likely to play in the rooms. Thankfully I'm pretty good at the game and people only ever have good things to say about me besides that one dude that accuses me of never playing with the pool. If I was this anxious and got name dropped in a bad way I'd probably be too scared to come back. The schizo name dropping needs to be shunned.
The thing with the name dropping is you need to realize
A. it's probably just one schizo
B. it's made to get a reaction out of people i.e. it's just some guy trying to start shit, stir the pot
Now there are some characters who can be a bit mean I guess and won't namedrop you, but I wouldn't ever take it personally. I just assume most of the people that come to this site are social rejects who suck at socializing and have thorny personalities/extremely mentally ill. When people throw a shitfit about how shitty someone's playing generally they're just as shit themselves, they're projecting their own shittiness. Not always the case, but it's just something I've noticed.

I never really buy the "it's probably one guy" thing. I keep seeing that one dude post about the "it's one guy that hates /ink/" when it definitely isn't. I can say at least I know that most people won't namedrop me but there's always the risk that I'm in a room with the rare schizo namedropper since we don't know who they are.
Personally I just get super anxious because I worry too much about what people think of me. I definitely don't mean this as a brag because it sucks for me, but I've never seen anyone in the pool with a higher X power than me and I'm worried that you guys are going to see that in the notifications and expect me to carry every match. Then if I'm not the best on the team I get super worried. It's partly why I change my name constantly but I'm not too sure how much that helps.

Sounds like a typical anxiety thing. See thing is nobody knows or cares what your X rank is. I know you care about it, but I doubt anybody here knows. Sometimes I glance and say "woah that guys high", but rarely do I even remember their name.
Being namedropped isn't the end of the world either, so long as you have it a name that can't be linked to any identity of yours if that's what you're worried about. Nobody cares man. For me, I just want a teammate that is semi-reliable. If you're high in X rank, then I know you'll at least fit that bill, but I don't expect anybody to sweat it out like their life depends on it in an open match you know what I mean? You worry too much, don't let some schizo weirdo prevent you from having fun with the pool

I know at least some people remember my power. I mentioned my rank once in these threads and then got namedropped because of it. It's definitely the same dude that keeps calling me out and saying I don't ever play with the pool.
Glad you don't expect me to sweat too much though, that's a little reassuring. X rank is really stressful. I can't play more than 2 or 3 series before being totally spent. Playing with anons kinda feels the same, I have a hard time enjoying it and I'm in my head too much.
That being said I'm down to play a bit of open today if any anons want to. I haven't played ranked in weeks. Got busy after big run and then splatfest happened.

>X rank is really stressful
Breh when I play X rank I log out of the pool because I don't want people to see my shit. Getting a bad placement in your starting matches is fucking awful. I was able to grind it up to a mediocre middle ground but I just didn't want anybody see that. I know that's a bit gayy of me but it's just embarrassing. In reality nobody actually gives a shit though

That's not a terrible idea. I don't think getting a low placement is super bad. It happens to the best of us. I've seen some anons get placed pretty low and they climb to a respectable power pretty quickly. Thankfully I've never been placed below 1900 though.

I have a habit of using non-ideal weapons and experimenting with a bunch of shit and I pay the price for it. If I just stuck to one or two things that I knew I could carry with I'd have more consistent results. I mostly gave up on X rank last season and probably won't get far in it this season either. The autistic grind isn't for me. Also wasn't a fan of how I had to queue up for matches over and over again because I chose the western X rank division.
because i don't like to lose 0-3 because the moron game decided it's lose streak time and this particular time was the only good rotation in days if not week
I, for one, welcome our new Shiver overlords. Not that it changes much, considering she seemed to be in charge in the first place. Still, good victory. I don't know if all the chud salt is the best part, but it certainly is the funniest part. I must say, though, feel a bit bad for the Fryefags out there. Like, the actual ones, not the two-faced degenerates who tried to get their disgusting hands on Shiver and then pivoted to Frye after Nintendo told em to fuck off. I'm sure there's a few out there, even if only about a dozen.
>I must say, though, feel a bit bad for the Fryefags out there.
I do and I don't. But each time she loses I feel a little more sorry for her. I didn't want her to win the idol fest thoughever!
Indeed, but in order to improve, I'm asking about what should be done with the bamboozler in Salmon Run. Its range is short for a charger, its damage is low for killing boss salmonids and cohocks, the shots don't pierce through enemies like e-liter or splat charger... I just don't know what to do when I'm forced to use it besides reviving teammates and getting eggs
It's almost 100% a skill issue, but it takes some learning so I don't really blame people for not getting it right away. Its primary strengths are how fast and flexible it is in comparison to all the other chargers. Bamboozler charges almost immediately so you can rapid fire shots once you get the timing down. It may not have piercing, but it can still put a decent dent in a crowd. Especially since it's easy to pick out the big guys and you can two-shot cohocks and steelheads. You'd be surprised how quick you can kill even a big shot with it, and from reasonably safety. It may have lower reach than the other chargers, but it still can be used from a reliable distance a lot of the time.
It takes practice, but once you get into the groove it's a really fun and nice weapon to have. It can't kill all the bosses immediately, but it can kill most bosses reliably and that's more than a lot of weapons can boast. Stingers, drizzlers, fish sticks, steel eels, steel heads. All can go down quick once you start doing it right. And that's not even going into how great a support weapon it can be.
I see I'll have to practice more. Even the nozzlenose is miles better compared to the bamboozler for me
Amusingly, this is the first time I've seen someone say they prefer having the nozzlenose to another weapon. Though I personally have nothing against nozzlenose. But yeah, just try to play to the weapons' strengths. Being able to escape out of a lot situations that a regular charger can't is already a great plus.
Even though I love frye, I want to see how long this losing streak goes on for.
Imagine if it went for the rest of the game's lifespan.
You want to be using charged shots for most things, but bamboozler has a few advantages. >Chums can be killed with partial charge shots >small fry killed with taps >fish sticks can be killed with taps on the ground by standing right under the arc and just tap spamming, easy to do once you get the angle right. >stingers can also be killed with tap shots
Don't underestimate the range of the bamboozler. Take it in the regular lobby and try out its maximum range on the targets, you have a pretty good range on thing so you can take out stingers from a distance. >steelheads are killed with charged shots. You have a small window but it can be done before it sets its bomb. >if you need to turf, DO NOT TRY TO TURF WITH TAP SHOTS. waste of ink. Turf with charged shots. It's not the best at turfing but you want to use charged to at least cover full lines.
For cohocks and bosses you'll want to be using charged shots. But fight at range. You can tap spam if things get close in your face, but it's not very ink efficient and you're not getting the most out of your damage. The bamboozler is also a lightweight class of weapon, meaning it has faster swim speed and walk speed, along with quick ink recharge. Take advantage of its mobility.
I shouldn't have to say this but you need to be using gyro controls to aim well with chargers of any class, especially one that is as schizophrenic as the bamboozler.
When firing the bamboozler you'll want to keep your aim steady. It takes a little bit getting used to with the tap hungry nature of it, yet still has the precision requirements of a charger. With bamboo you can be a little more sloppy with it and just spam charged shots in the general direction of enemies, but point is try to keep your aim steady through that.
The trick is keeping your distance and taking full advantage of your range and ability to shit out charged shots.
Treat the weapon over all like a long range shooter. More H-3 than L-3 (but better than H-3)
Oh yeah and I forgot the other unique gimmick (but also ran out of space)
The tap shots have the exact same range as the charged shots, which is different from any other charger.
Now as I said you don't really want to use tap shots for too many things, but once again a QRD of what you *should* use them for:
>Stingers >fishsticks >smallfry >finishing off already hurt enemies after a charge shot or two
For turfing and killing everything else you should be using charged shots (or you can use partial shots for chum, they don't need a full charge shot but it takes two taps I believe which is wasteful on ink and slower).
>The tap shots have the exact same range as the charged shots
Wtf I never noticed it

Yes, so when you DO need to kill a stinger, tap from the same distance you would as a charge shot. You can also kill fish sticks from a very far distance also from taps. It's useful to know, but as I said the situations in which you want to use tap shots are pretty situational (in salmon run). In PVP a charge + tap kills so that's the combo there.
Its range stays the same even if you tap fire it, so it can reliably take out fish sticks. The tap fire itself does enough damage to take out stinger pots too compared to other chargers that have to either do a partial charge or get closer.
It also has very good single target damage compared to other chargers. It can kill a cohock faster than any other charger. Two charge shots and one partial charge. Speaking of partial charge, you can practice the timing of the half charge to do 100 damage and quickly delete chum in rapid succession.
Bamboozler's got a high skill floor but once you are familiar with it and focus on putting yourself in positions that utilize its strengths, it's a very reliable weapon.

>"wow splatfest has given me a lot of confidence I think it's improved my game somewhat" >go into ranked >get fucking destroyed, teammates playing like idiots etc
I'm not gonna miss this game when my NSO runs out.
Crushing timmies in turf wars does not give you the proper experience you need to do well in ranked. You need to practice the respective modes more. Obviously the matchmaking is a shit show so you might have teams that are guaranteed to lose, but the same thing applies to the enemy. They have that same disadvantage, so take advantage of it when it's in your court. Is it a genuine win? yeah if both teams are fighting their asses off. But stomping timmies in turf wars only just vaguely helps you out on a mechanical level. What you need is strategy my boy. Strategy and to play against better players. Keep trying and eventually you'll improve
>I was so excited when I heard this, I thought something really special was going to happen. So I waited 2 hours listening to this for the results just to be incredibly disappointed seeing shiver win once again.
deep cut's music has been some of the best in the series and has really changed my opinion on them for the better.
I'm not simping for Shiver here, but >Big Man's contribution to the songs is some weaweawawe noise >Frye has an ok voice, just regular >Shiver nails it with the Amami Shimauta-inspired vocals
I really liked her singing in Calamari Inkantation
Because they're technical weapons with inconsistent results, assuming you mean tristringer. Reeflux itself has trouble fighting but is a turf demon. Because of that though it can attract some shit players. Even the best charger players have matches where they just are completely off. They're tough weapons to use consistently.
A lot of them probably still aren't comfortable using them. The only real way to get practice with them is to hop into open and but more often than not they'll miss the majority of their shots.
based and honest sugar enjoyer. nothing wrong with the occasional caramel macchiato white choco mocha diareah ass explosion grande XL with whip cream and sprinkles
I fucking love coffee but I don't think they could ever do a splatfest with more than one option as coffee because it would totally alienate the kids. I think it would be "which hot drink is the best? Tea vs Coffee vs Hot Chocolate" or something like that.

Well, first it's the getting annoyed at the mistakes made by myself and my teammates, and while I enjoy the core gameplay, there are a myriad of small design decisions that together aggravate me.
Japs disagree. They've shown you can sweat it out in turf war and still have "fun". It's just a more chaotic kind of fun with a less maintainable objective than the ranked modes. People that cry about the goofy casual mode are some of those most cringe players imo.
Agreed, turf war is fine for mindlessly playing the game but it's clear it's meant as a tutorial or the hopeless shitter containment zone.
Most competent turf players end up spawn camping so that the enemy team never get the chance to take the map back. By the time players are doing that they're probably craving the additional complexity of ranked modes.
No reason to play turf once you're familiar with the gameplay.
The autistic namedropping schizo was naming literally everyone who has ever played in the thread or popped up in the notifications tab. consider it a form of flattery. Some people feel left out that they didn't get mentioned
How do you even know that you were name dropped if you weren't participating in the thread when it was happening? It's not like this is a general with the previous thread linked. Do you search your name in the archive or something?
You go back and read dead thread that you weren't in at the time? Seems kinda pointless to me tbh. I'll just read/post in threads that are currently up.
NTA but we just had the splatfest with lots of cuhrazy reactions. I personally read through all the threads. Each one linked to the next one so if you had a previous thread open before you went to bed it's not like you had to use the archive to find them. Just skim through them and jump to the next thread. We've had like 10 threads in the past 24 hours so there's some funny shit that went down
I woke up and I had the Shiver celebration thread still up and continued to read what was begin said about the people who play in the pool being called shitters and what not
Wasn't able to respond since I was at work all day until now
From what ive been reading im now on some sort of "list"
I think you should just drop it
if he becomes a regular problem then people can make their own decision at that point, we don't need a fucking rulebook of who we can and can't play with.
I tried playing tricolor for several hours during the last day and only one person would ever join me. I even put up a room at the start of a rotation and had to wait like 15 minutes and it was the same guy.

He wasn't exactly wrong though. My rolls were predictable and I struggled to get in close. I wasn't getting much better with dualies.
I really enjoy splatana because it has the range to safely challenge shooters and I'm still very deadly up close when I can get it. It was probably for the best, I play much better now.

I like DEENS too, just played with him in turf wars and he's solid at SR when I play with him there, someone must have an axe to grind with him.
Do those sticks even work? I bought that kingkong 2 pro controller thing that was advertised as a pro controller that would never drift and I immensely regret it. That shit lost calibration constantly. It was so unreliable that I replaced it with an official pro controller a few months later because I wanted to stop losing calibration mid match. Picking up the rainmaker and suddenly not being able to move at full speed fucking sucked.
I just got them and they work fine so far. Hope that issue doesn't happen with me

sticks work great it's apparently chingkong that's a piece of crap
in fact i like the hall sticks even more than the ones pro controller has they move and click better
Well that's good at least. There was that news about Nintendo patenting hall sticks and that got me a bit worried. Probably is just those chinks making shitty products though. I have no idea why they're so highly praised.
I contacted support about their controller being unusable. I said I updated the firmware right before contacting them and their response was just "update the firmware again". Fucking useless.
Thanks for playing. Starting feeling that crappy pre sickness feeling during one of the shifts but thankfully we didn't wipe during first or second wave.
Nah even the Splatoon team seems to think so as they gave the Killer Wail a brand new activation sound effect for lock-ons, which actually helps it quite a bit.
Yes. I love being able to tell when an enemy pops a special and exactly which one it is just by hearing it.
I believe grenades need to make more noise.
Explain? I usually dont have a problem identifying which special is being used and whos team it belongs to just from the audio
Personally, I find the sound effects of their activations are often hard to distinguish from all the other sound effects of combat unless you're experienced enough to know what to listen out for. And even then, most can occasionally still get drowned out. The biggest exception to this is the Killer Wail, which does something similar to ults in Overwatch an Paladins were the associated activation sound effect is not only loud and wide ranged, but also has an added echo effect making it stand out even more from the game's other sound effects. Though I think this is a bit odd from a gameplay standpoint, since out of all the offensive specials it's arguably the least likely to suddenly kill you if it catches you off guard.

This is either selective memory or we’re seeing different threads.

To my knowledge, he doesn’t talk shit to anyone or even shill his channel so it don’t make much difference to me. As long as we have fun games, that’s all I really care about.

Is this supposed to be fun?
Is it out of the question? Special splatfests have been datamined and they’re not going to add stuff at the start of the season because it would spoil it. Like how the Triforce tricolor map was added a week before the Zelda fest
I still think we're going to get a Splatfest in October and November. This one was just a special bonus anniversary one that didn't add any new Tricolor maps despite two new ones being added in the code at the start of the season
>So splatoween is out of the question
Fuck, why'd you remind me. I got so mad when I found out the spooky fish were a QR banner instead of Splatoween datamine.

I don't know what the hell you want me to say, man, I've been in these threads since yesterday and it's been mostly Shiver talk and Frye cope. Anything pertaining to the guy has been people talking ABOUT him as opposed to anything else. Are you suggesting he's the one shit talking himself? Do you have proof of this? I don't make it a point to memorize most anons unless it's incredibly distinct, and even then it's only ever been the one guy. I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall here, maybe I'm just getting baited super hard or something. This is like when you go into the drawthreads and literally anything and everyone gets called botfag. It's fucking weird, man.
And for the record, I been hanging out since
I, for one, welcome our new Shiver overlords. Not that it changes much, considering she seemed to be in charge in the first place. Still, good victory. I don't know if all the chud salt is the best part, but it certainly is the funniest part. I must say, though, feel a bit bad for the Fryefags out there. Like, the actual ones, not the two-faced degenerates who tried to get their disgusting hands on Shiver and then pivoted to Frye after Nintendo told em to fuck off. I'm sure there's a few out there, even if only about a dozen.
, aside from going to eat and other stuff. It's almost as if I like to talk about the damn game
Fuck it I'm in. I'll be watching the threads to join a gimmick battle. Imagine >only bamboozlers >only nozzlenoses >only heavy splatlings >only brushes >any weapon but the special must be crab tank

/ink/ plays the game too. We can't be like them. Stop playing the game. Restrict us from using an entire feature of the game because we're too cool for that
One of those is a game that we're playing, the other is attention whoring gayry. There's definitely a line there. I don't see anything wrong with playing the game together though.
Liquid Sunshine is proof he can speak regular Inklish. He just would rather speak a language where three "ays" is the equivalent of three whole sentences
>shiver is 55% popularity >loses pro to big man >barely wins open and tri by one percent
I guess shiver fans had their hands on their cock instead of the controller
Realistically speaking, Shiver being that popular means that more than likely the grand majority of shitters were on her team. I can vouch for that, played with more than my fair share of retards. So the decent people would have had to do lot of carrying such as carrying me. Hell, losing Pro just says to me that a lot of Shiver players teamed up to dominate open and tri-color. I think the same thing happened last splatfest.
And of course, Frye fags accomplished nothing because why would they.
which dev I haven't heard this, also teasing a game reveal doesn't neccessarily mean a direct it could easily just be a standalone reveal or part of a different event
not that I don't think a september direct won't happen, it's one of the safest bets you can make
Sorry I'm having a hard time finding the source again because after the developer said that, a bunch of insiders started leaking shit. The news got all muddy.
It was some small Japanese dev that tweeted out something like "My new game is getting announced on September 14th. Guess what it's going to be". Everyone took that as confirmation of a direct since it's on a Thursday and it's a week before TGS which is normal Nintendo timing.
I'd try to find the actual source some more but the thread is dying.

that sounds believable to me, it's possible, no more like highly likely the dev was made to delete the tweet so don't worry too much about trying to dig it up
Obviously, side order is likely to release in Fresh Season, so they are likely gonna release a proper trailer for side order. This is likely the direct before christmas, so they are gonna bring their big guns, and one of those is something to say "buy a switch for splatoon 3 side order, buy a switch this christmas".
I don't care about Side Order as much as I care about getting the sexo tank top back. Fucking release it already because I know it's a bonus for buying Side Order.
they revealed side order way too early
just compare side order's reveal to oe's and it's clear as day
they should've waited a few more months so they would have at least a little gameplay to show instead of flashes of concept art for 30 seconds
3's final Splatfest isn't even going to be worth it at this rate. At least with Pearl v Marina you could chalk up a majority of the former's wins to how fucked the system was and it eventually evened out. With Deep Cut it's basically Shiver hour all the time, which I'm not complaining about because the same thing happened with Marie and Marina. Difference is at least Callie and Pearl were able to establish their own fanbase and things smoothed out eventually. Chances of that happening with Frye and Big Man are exceedingly small, and it'd be lame to have the final Splatfest be Shiver wins by a large margin and the other two never stood a chance.

SHUT UP, FUCKING LISTEN
Realistically, the fact that Shiver is leader won't actually change anything will it?
Not until Splatoon 4 at least.
She was already the assumed leader so nothing really changes. Though in the story mode you fight Big Man last.
>Payload race
Please, no
>TWO towers
imagine 4 towers and whoever drives more towers to the finish wins
Take the shot, asshole.
TAKE THE SHOT
Shame we'll never get a good game mode like payload. We'll be stuck with knock off KotH, CTF, Player destruction, and a somewhat better designed 5cp modes instead.
There was that interview from the director that said he didn't want to add any additional ranked modes because it would complicate things too much. He only left clam blitz in because he didn't want to remove someone's favorite mode.
What a fucking fag. We're probably never getting any more modes because of that retarded ideology.
Yet they added these challenges which are so awfully implemented
All the p4p modes remain relatively unchanged outside a few tweaks. I'm just not a fan of how this series creativity is starting to stagnate a bit.
At least they didn't actually shove them into league mode like they originally planned. Imagine trying to play ranked with your friends but too bad, it's time for trizooka spam.
I want new modes though, man. The only downside is that it would take longer for your favorite mode to rotate in and X rank would have even more modes to autistically grind.
>There was that interview from the director that said he didn't want to add any additional ranked modes
wait really
lame, if they don't want to add a proper new main mode to pvp or whatever at least add one to salmon instead
Sorry for taking so long to reply, wanted to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass. I found the source.
>I see that the number of players has increased considerably. Regarding the battles, why are the battle game modes the same as in S2?
"Sato: In the world of Splatoon, Turf Wars are an enduringly popular sport. I don't think that will change in the future. So one reason is to stay consistent with the setting. Another reason is that we want to make sure that a variety of people can play the game, and if we add more game modes, we will have to ask people to figure out new rules. On the other hand, we cannot reduce the number of old game modes in order to add new ones. Every game mode must be someone’s favorite, so we decided to refine each game mode rather than eliminate existing ones."
Unless he has a change of heart I don't think we'll ever be getting new modes, even in Splatoon 4. Surely it can't take that long to figure out how to play a new mode. If they have ideas for modes and can fit it into the content roadmap then I have no idea why they don't just do that. Not developing modes just to keep the game simple is fucking stupid.
>we don't want to add in new game modes because then players would have to learn something new
So they basically think the majority of Splatoon players are retarded. I want to slap him, but it's hard to disagree with that notion. Still not an excuse for not adding new content, though.
I'm gonna be watching/listening to this for weeks. So nice.
It seems like he's fine with people learning new modes, he just doesn't want any one game to have too many modes so it doesn't become too complicated. He mentioned that he considered removing modes to replace them with new ones. Seems like 4 modes is the limit for what we can have in a Splatoon game. The dev team and their decisions truly baffle me.
>There was that interview from the director that said he didn't want to add any additional ranked modes because it would complicate things too much. He only left clam blitz in because he didn't want to remove someone's favorite mode.
Adding in new content would complicate things? I don't get these fucking devs, man. They're so damn afraid of "splitting" their playerbase despite the fact it's their most popular new IP in about 15 years. Just give us more, you clods.
Indeed. Frye can have a pity win if she must sometimes, but I refused to allow her to win the best girl fest. The hilarity of that statement is that going by the win rates in each category, she never stood a fucking chance.
Even though I love frye, I want to see how long this losing streak goes on for.
>clam blitz
>anyone's favorite mode
What a retard and a blatant lie.
It's definitely has to be someone's favorite. I think it's a good mode but I like the others more. Maybe not TC.
the only bad part of clam is that it's a heavily team oriented mode in a game with braindead gay retard playerbase
RM>CB>SZ
>piss>shit>TC
Based opinion. The best thing about RM and CB is that they reward good play more than the others. They're the only modes that can be knocked out basically instantly if you play well enough rather than waiting for a timer to slowly progress like SZ and the tower's slow ass movement. It allows for very quick last minute comebacks, a game is never really hopeless. Very fun modes.
We don't even have an actual CtF mode.
it's a neat idea but the spots for the chests and oysters are way too far into the enemy spawn
I equate rainmaker to a somewhat older idea of CtF, where there's only one flag and both teams fight over it to take to a position.
Capture the flag is my favorite mode. Nintendo please just do it. Also make Splatoon a 10 vs 10.
>Also make Splatoon a 10 vs 10.
imagine the lag holy shit
Team Fortress 2 did it over 10 years ago. There's no excuse.
For Nintendo? There's all sorts of excuses. They are so behind the curve on internet shit that it's not even funny
I didn't say there was one I'm just calling it how it is
The excuse is Nintendo hates being modern in any sort of context. Bunch of backwards-ass geezers.
I saw this earlier. Anything that brings down vtubers is a good thing.
I'm normally not a fan of CtF modes in shooters, but I feel like Splatoon could make it work. Though that may just be the 2Fort trauma speaking. My Unreal memories are really fuzzy by this point.
Tower Control is payload and Rainmaker is capture the flag. They're just different spins on the concepts to fit Splatoon better.
No, no Tower Control is a better 5CP. It doesn't have the chance to theoretically go on forever.
>Saddam hid the WMDs in splatsville
No wonder we couldn't find them!
Ominous words from Shiver after the Zelda fest
>octo (aka the bad guys)
>values money and power the most, some of the easiest paths to corruption
>now the leader
Shiver will be replacing Octavio in Splat 4 confirmed
I think making Shiver a bona fide villain would actually work for the series and fit her personality. They're already thieves and she is the most smug and let's say Machiavellian of the three.
the shiver power art is the peak of splatoon 3
Yeah that was some good shit
HAWT
>final mission is plapping her back to the good guys

That's going to be Splation 4 DLC instead
What a surprise best girl won. What is the actual tally of the splatfest wins
7 wins for Shiver
2 wins for Big Man
1 win for Frye
>when Callie was winning all the Splatfests they changed it to make it 'even' which somehow ended up with Marie winning most of them afterward
>when Marina was winning all the Splatfests they changed it to make it 'even' which somehow ended up with Pearl winning most of them afterward
>Shiver has won 8 out of 10 Splatfests so far but this is fine.
Is it because she's modeled to be Japanese?
They did make an adjustment to the points though. They made tricolor its own section first.
Then in a later update they adjusted it again and made popularity and conchs worth less, but battles worth more, making it a little more balanced but it still hasn't changed much
In Splatoon 2, it was Pearl constantly winning. The NA dialogue even had Marina snap because she lost 7 times.
Then they redid how splatfests were calculated, going from ranking to clout, and it was smooth sailing for Marina.
That was especially fucked up in Splatoon 1 because the final one (which Marie won off the new rigged system) determined who got mind raped in 2.
Callie enjoyed it though
Fucking hell man
Holy shit. What does that say about the others? Just bad taste or proof these squids need to be sexy to stand a chance?
Well it depends. Some of them were given pretty bad choices. Big man being given "fun" for the gear fest which basically any person would pick Gear. Frye was given "grub" which was equally stupid.
Big man was given sour in the flavor fest. Frye was gifted sweet which is the only time she won.
Then other times it's weird. Big man won white chocolate allegedley because of white ink. He won water when people expected fire to win in the pokemon fest. Other times Big Man or Frye haven't gotten some of the best options, but they have gotten some strong options too. Frye was gifted Aliens but somehow Shiver pulled ahead with Nessie. Big man was fucked by being given big foot which just doesn't have as much appeal outside the americas.
Seems this three choice sat fest has really been considered properly. Three choices are way way more than just adding another choice, it’s about making sure they’re all equal
Pretty much yeah, it's been a mess from the very beginning. They'll likely go back to two choices for the next game.
Why don’t they just do it
>Side 1
>Side 2
>Neutral fags
the neutral fag option is completely irrelevant. that's like being like what do you like more: eating or sleeping. Third option: neither!
who gives a fuck that goes against the whole point of a poll, it's redundant and should never be included. This ain't fucking politics, we don't need independent parties for splatfests
>eating or sleeping. Third option: neither!
Yes
>tfw we get quad sides next game
FRYE LOSERS WHERE ARE WE AT
This is the outcome I expected so I feel nothing really. Still got some nice Frye images out of it though.
best girl would make a horrible leader for the group so im glad she lost
she'd get big man killed she's so stupid but that just makes her even cuter
Nuh uh, Shiver is even MORE STUPID which makes her even CUTER.
shiver is stupid as well which may also be cute BUT frye is the reckless type with an empty head and blood made of strawberry ice cream
She can successfully command a battalion of eels. Shiver can't even get a single shark to properly obey her.
Sharks are way cooler than eels though
Holy cow Fryer will certainly be a SuperPooer in 2024 no doubt
When is her suicide?
how could ANYONE support that hideous creature
That explains a lot.
Literally fucking suicide watch tier.
Buck status?
That's the speech of a loser.
Why they hate Frye so much? Genuine question.
She's just outright ugly. Even her fingers and toes are nauseating. When footfags don't even want your character you know you fucked up.
bro all they had to do was not give her that giant fucking waterbaby dome and weird fuckin mascara that makes her look downie.
i mean she still wouldnt win over goth geisha but i mean it might not be so uneven.
but nope
max the encephalopathy slider, we goin to mars.
>Why they hate Frye so much? Genuine question.
- Giant 6 Head
- awful looking Flaps protruding off of her Eyemask
- Weird looking eyelashes that is not natural to inklings
- Ridiculously long ears and teeth
- God awful Baggy Pants with holes in them
- Ugly toeless Socks
Hmmmmmmmmm, it’s a mystery!
bad design and they don't give them enough dialogue to even win you over with personality
this was actually gonna effect the new position of nintendo CEO, and the canidates were a fellow japanese, an australian, and a poo in the loo because they're trying to take over all major tech corpos
the splatoon team is rightfully aware of the shitter's plan to ruin nintendo into the ground to be bought up by india so the splatoon team fought back
Splatoon fans are pornography addicts who covet shiver as a character because they imagine having sex with her. They find this hard to do with Frye and in their own little "protest" they only ever team with shiver on regular popularity contests.
Yes this is a childs game but the manchildren playing it are deeply mentally unwell. Log in and look around for a few seconds and you will see pornography and sexual messaging literally scrawled onto all of the walls with the in game messaging and art system if you don't believe me.

>ctrl+s
You're fucking kidding. I've been typing it all out manually for a decade now.
She's ugly and brown
Frye does not look that good most of the time. Her best looks is whenever she's emoting at which at which point her humongous eyelashes come into play. Hell everything about Frye points in the direction of a design that Nintendo gave up with, and the concept art from the 3rd Splatoon book grants further clarity on this. If they actually went ahead with the full on gyaru and played up the fact she's a vampire squid, they could've had something good with Frye.
here's another page
Post your (Spla)toons
I saw people post their characters in the last thread tho
/vg/ is all about their "toons", avatarfagging and roleplaying, taking pictures together etc. that's why the association is there. Some people are trying to get away from that, post yours if you want or not I don't give a damn.
Don’t even imply that they can, tell them to FUCKING GET OUT
New player from 2 days ago. Fuck this game's fun, and goddamn Callieeeeeee fack, no longer am I just a Callie coomer
Missed Splatfest because I was focused on story stuff, but I tried Turf Wars today and man it's fun, but i'm shit with roller kekk
>Frye's only win was when she was Team Candy vs. Team Diarrhea and Team Spoiled Milk
GODver won.
I still can't get over the fact Frye didn't win the battles. They were murder to play against.
Japanese decide the results. There were good players on every team thoughever.
Imagine making this pure SEX design and thinking putting an ugly goblina as her competition was fair
a starfield thread died for this
good now we can talk about an actually good game.
Good!
Thank Cod
does starfield have salmon run?
Any tips on how to delete the other 20 threads?
Make 20 more Splatoon threads.
good, good!

>Era of big man crushed
It’s over…
Big meme was so popular too when he was first announced.
OMG. i. LOVE Splatoon
Any advice for Hydra?
aim and shoot at things
Always be charging/refilling ink in case of sudden ambushes
the old hydra design is so ugly, the redesign is so much better
Agreed
don't use it outside ranked
>Aiyeee people are discussing video games on the video game board!!!
Seeing all these Splatfest threads makes me wish I didn't drop Splatoon 3 months ago. Is the pvp still dogshit?
>Is the pvp still dogshit?
Yeah if you thought it was dog shit before then not much has changed. Connections are slightly more stable than at launch, but it's still dodgy. Tick rate still shit. Weapon balance is a little better, at least not broken like Splat 2. Stages haven't been altered BUT they did introduce a couple of actually decent levels for once. All the other tetris blocks remain unchanged however.
Fuck off back to discord you petulant little twat. We're talking VIDEO GAMES here.
After a recount it turns out that Frye won!
fryefags vote against their own sexual interest
FRYE WON
Hold the L.
No! The Splatfest was rigged! Shiver was losing until all the points were shadowdropped for her!
It was unironically rigged against Shiver considering the Frye/Big Man alliance.
Shiver's victory despite that just shows she has the most determined, and strongest player base.
You already won, no need to push for the idea of "le rigged against me"
Shitposter's creed my brother. Thee who creates the most salt shall be supported purely for the "rees"
>the last image that flashes in Frye's mind before the rope tightens completely

>LOL 17%!!
splatoon is so cute
No U
omg
No wai??
Just pick shiver every time since no-one else can win.
Please don't do that. I don't want any more shitters bandwagoning Team Shiver. Previous fest was already bad enough
Do people who make these images not know what delegation is.
Need more callie x frye x big man art, they're adorable
>implying they pay taxes
Why don't any of you like ranked?
We've had full rooms of open at least a few times every week recently
Many people in the pool are already S+ and grinding X, check for yourself
Those people feel like outliers. I guess saying "any of you" was a bit of an exaggeration but it really does feel like the majority of this board doesn't enjoy ranked at all.
I don't know. If you look at the actual notifications sometimes it's ONLY ranked play going on. They may not be the most sociable but a lot of players here do play ranked and some of them have spoken out and said they get anxiety about playing with groups. The salmon run players are naturally more easy going, but the ranked players here are a bit more shy. Been trying to get people to play more because there's some good players. They're worried about being shit talked or whatever, and schizos namedropping and starting drama all the time certainly isn't helping
>schizos namedropping and starting drama all the time certainly isn't he
this
I guess that's the kind of crowd that would be drawn to a mode that can only be played solo if you want to make any meaningful progress. Open battles may as well be unranked because you gain and lose so few points that it doesn't matter. I could win 40 open matches and gain the same amount from winning 5 in a series. I wish more would play with the pool just for fun. With how little those points matter, I don't think anyone should be too worried about their performance.
I'm telling you, there's been an uptick in open play recently. If you want to play open just make a mention in the thread and you can get people interested. If you just make a random room at any time though chances are it might not fill up, regardless of mode. Been trying to reassure people whether they play good or bad really doesn't matter all that much, open does have very little consequences. But people want to be the best they can be and improve, some just get anxious about performance around others.
Seeing the way Ganker reacts to anything that isn't perfection, I prefer to play with randoms
Most people here aren't going to get combative if you have a shit match. There's just a few bad apples who like to start drama with people. Everyone I've played with in open, turf, and Salmon Run has not made a peep about my play even when I throw the match.
The one fag that posted a webm of the pool during the splatfest really makes me think otherwise. That was such a dick move. I can't imagine anyone wants to play with someone like that. I'm not usually for the blacklist drama bullshit but I think we should legitimately avoid people that are known to do shit like that.
Oh you mean the splatling vs the aerospray guy?
Thing is, I had never seen either of those guys play until the splatfest. Those were just event-only tourists who likely aren't going to play with the pool again until the next big event.
The guy made a fool of himself because he showed he didn't even understand what the point of turf wars was.
I'm that one fag with the severe anxiety. Yeah, being judged does make me less likely to play in the rooms. Thankfully I'm pretty good at the game and people only ever have good things to say about me besides that one dude that accuses me of never playing with the pool. If I was this anxious and got name dropped in a bad way I'd probably be too scared to come back. The schizo name dropping needs to be shunned.
The thing with the name dropping is you need to realize
A. it's probably just one schizo
B. it's made to get a reaction out of people i.e. it's just some guy trying to start shit, stir the pot
Now there are some characters who can be a bit mean I guess and won't namedrop you, but I wouldn't ever take it personally. I just assume most of the people that come to this site are social rejects who suck at socializing and have thorny personalities/extremely mentally ill. When people throw a shitfit about how shitty someone's playing generally they're just as shit themselves, they're projecting their own shittiness. Not always the case, but it's just something I've noticed.
I never really buy the "it's probably one guy" thing. I keep seeing that one dude post about the "it's one guy that hates /ink/" when it definitely isn't. I can say at least I know that most people won't namedrop me but there's always the risk that I'm in a room with the rare schizo namedropper since we don't know who they are.
Personally I just get super anxious because I worry too much about what people think of me. I definitely don't mean this as a brag because it sucks for me, but I've never seen anyone in the pool with a higher X power than me and I'm worried that you guys are going to see that in the notifications and expect me to carry every match. Then if I'm not the best on the team I get super worried. It's partly why I change my name constantly but I'm not too sure how much that helps.
Sounds like a typical anxiety thing. See thing is nobody knows or cares what your X rank is. I know you care about it, but I doubt anybody here knows. Sometimes I glance and say "woah that guys high", but rarely do I even remember their name.
Being namedropped isn't the end of the world either, so long as you have it a name that can't be linked to any identity of yours if that's what you're worried about. Nobody cares man. For me, I just want a teammate that is semi-reliable. If you're high in X rank, then I know you'll at least fit that bill, but I don't expect anybody to sweat it out like their life depends on it in an open match you know what I mean? You worry too much, don't let some schizo weirdo prevent you from having fun with the pool
I know at least some people remember my power. I mentioned my rank once in these threads and then got namedropped because of it. It's definitely the same dude that keeps calling me out and saying I don't ever play with the pool.
Glad you don't expect me to sweat too much though, that's a little reassuring. X rank is really stressful. I can't play more than 2 or 3 series before being totally spent. Playing with anons kinda feels the same, I have a hard time enjoying it and I'm in my head too much.
That being said I'm down to play a bit of open today if any anons want to. I haven't played ranked in weeks. Got busy after big run and then splatfest happened.
Yeah I'm down to play later, but I think some people might be burned out after big run/splatfest. New daily rotation in an hour, someone pop a room then. Or in a few hours whenever, just make a shout in the thread
>X rank is really stressful
Breh when I play X rank I log out of the pool because I don't want people to see my shit. Getting a bad placement in your starting matches is fucking awful. I was able to grind it up to a mediocre middle ground but I just didn't want anybody see that. I know that's a bit gayy of me but it's just embarrassing. In reality nobody actually gives a shit though
That's not a terrible idea. I don't think getting a low placement is super bad. It happens to the best of us. I've seen some anons get placed pretty low and they climb to a respectable power pretty quickly. Thankfully I've never been placed below 1900 though.
I have a habit of using non-ideal weapons and experimenting with a bunch of shit and I pay the price for it. If I just stuck to one or two things that I knew I could carry with I'd have more consistent results. I mostly gave up on X rank last season and probably won't get far in it this season either. The autistic grind isn't for me. Also wasn't a fan of how I had to queue up for matches over and over again because I chose the western X rank division.
because i don't like to lose 0-3 because the moron game decided it's lose streak time and this particular time was the only good rotation in days if not week
Nice. I did my part.
Even though I lost a lot due to not playing for the past 3 months[spoiler]
Failing two rank up battles is so dreadful
Try ten in a row.
Im sorry anon
I, for one, welcome our new Shiver overlords. Not that it changes much, considering she seemed to be in charge in the first place. Still, good victory. I don't know if all the chud salt is the best part, but it certainly is the funniest part. I must say, though, feel a bit bad for the Fryefags out there. Like, the actual ones, not the two-faced degenerates who tried to get their disgusting hands on Shiver and then pivoted to Frye after Nintendo told em to fuck off. I'm sure there's a few out there, even if only about a dozen.
>I must say, though, feel a bit bad for the Fryefags out there.
I do and I don't. But each time she loses I feel a little more sorry for her. I didn't want her to win the idol fest thoughever!
is everyone a FUCKING retard in salmon run today
they got burned out from turf wars and want some superbonuses
>Playing on second day of rotation
not the best idea if you expect good freelancers, fyi
>Oh, you're an umbrella? Here - have another teammate as umbrella then 🙂
>Oh, you lost? Oh well - have two e-liter teammates 🙂
i would rather have 2 brellas than 3 (three) chargers
Can someone redpill me about Salmon Run bamboozler? It's the most useless shit imaginable for me and I wonder if I'm using it wrong
have a black pill instead: skill issue
Indeed, but in order to improve, I'm asking about what should be done with the bamboozler in Salmon Run. Its range is short for a charger, its damage is low for killing boss salmonids and cohocks, the shots don't pierce through enemies like e-liter or splat charger... I just don't know what to do when I'm forced to use it besides reviving teammates and getting eggs
I see I'll have to practice more. Even the nozzlenose is miles better compared to the bamboozler for me
Amusingly, this is the first time I've seen someone say they prefer having the nozzlenose to another weapon. Though I personally have nothing against nozzlenose. But yeah, just try to play to the weapons' strengths. Being able to escape out of a lot situations that a regular charger can't is already a great plus.
Imagine if it went for the rest of the game's lifespan.
>Imagine if it went for the rest of the game's lifespan.
You want to be using charged shots for most things, but bamboozler has a few advantages.
>Chums can be killed with partial charge shots
>small fry killed with taps
>fish sticks can be killed with taps on the ground by standing right under the arc and just tap spamming, easy to do once you get the angle right.
>stingers can also be killed with tap shots
Don't underestimate the range of the bamboozler. Take it in the regular lobby and try out its maximum range on the targets, you have a pretty good range on thing so you can take out stingers from a distance.
>steelheads are killed with charged shots. You have a small window but it can be done before it sets its bomb.
>if you need to turf, DO NOT TRY TO TURF WITH TAP SHOTS. waste of ink. Turf with charged shots. It's not the best at turfing but you want to use charged to at least cover full lines.
For cohocks and bosses you'll want to be using charged shots. But fight at range. You can tap spam if things get close in your face, but it's not very ink efficient and you're not getting the most out of your damage. The bamboozler is also a lightweight class of weapon, meaning it has faster swim speed and walk speed, along with quick ink recharge. Take advantage of its mobility.
I shouldn't have to say this but you need to be using gyro controls to aim well with chargers of any class, especially one that is as schizophrenic as the bamboozler.
When firing the bamboozler you'll want to keep your aim steady. It takes a little bit getting used to with the tap hungry nature of it, yet still has the precision requirements of a charger. With bamboo you can be a little more sloppy with it and just spam charged shots in the general direction of enemies, but point is try to keep your aim steady through that.
The trick is keeping your distance and taking full advantage of your range and ability to shit out charged shots.
Treat the weapon over all like a long range shooter. More H-3 than L-3 (but better than H-3)
Oh yeah and I forgot the other unique gimmick (but also ran out of space)
The tap shots have the exact same range as the charged shots, which is different from any other charger.
Now as I said you don't really want to use tap shots for too many things, but once again a QRD of what you *should* use them for:
>Stingers
>fishsticks
>smallfry
>finishing off already hurt enemies after a charge shot or two
For turfing and killing everything else you should be using charged shots (or you can use partial shots for chum, they don't need a full charge shot but it takes two taps I believe which is wasteful on ink and slower).
>The tap shots have the exact same range as the charged shots
Wtf I never noticed it
Yes, so when you DO need to kill a stinger, tap from the same distance you would as a charge shot. You can also kill fish sticks from a very far distance also from taps. It's useful to know, but as I said the situations in which you want to use tap shots are pretty situational (in salmon run). In PVP a charge + tap kills so that's the combo there.
are killed with charged shots.
meant to say *two charged shots here
Its range stays the same even if you tap fire it, so it can reliably take out fish sticks. The tap fire itself does enough damage to take out stinger pots too compared to other chargers that have to either do a partial charge or get closer.
It also has very good single target damage compared to other chargers. It can kill a cohock faster than any other charger. Two charge shots and one partial charge. Speaking of partial charge, you can practice the timing of the half charge to do 100 damage and quickly delete chum in rapid succession.
Bamboozler's got a high skill floor but once you are familiar with it and focus on putting yourself in positions that utilize its strengths, it's a very reliable weapon.
It's almost 100% a skill issue, but it takes some learning so I don't really blame people for not getting it right away. Its primary strengths are how fast and flexible it is in comparison to all the other chargers. Bamboozler charges almost immediately so you can rapid fire shots once you get the timing down. It may not have piercing, but it can still put a decent dent in a crowd. Especially since it's easy to pick out the big guys and you can two-shot cohocks and steelheads. You'd be surprised how quick you can kill even a big shot with it, and from reasonably safety. It may have lower reach than the other chargers, but it still can be used from a reliable distance a lot of the time.
It takes practice, but once you get into the groove it's a really fun and nice weapon to have. It can't kill all the bosses immediately, but it can kill most bosses reliably and that's more than a lot of weapons can boast. Stingers, drizzlers, fish sticks, steel eels, steel heads. All can go down quick once you start doing it right. And that's not even going into how great a support weapon it can be.
realise it's not a charger but a weird semi auto carbine
>"wow splatfest has given me a lot of confidence I think it's improved my game somewhat"
>go into ranked
>get fucking destroyed, teammates playing like idiots etc
I'm not gonna miss this game when my NSO runs out.
Crushing timmies in turf wars does not give you the proper experience you need to do well in ranked. You need to practice the respective modes more. Obviously the matchmaking is a shit show so you might have teams that are guaranteed to lose, but the same thing applies to the enemy. They have that same disadvantage, so take advantage of it when it's in your court. Is it a genuine win? yeah if both teams are fighting their asses off. But stomping timmies in turf wars only just vaguely helps you out on a mechanical level. What you need is strategy my boy. Strategy and to play against better players. Keep trying and eventually you'll improve
>I was so excited when I heard this, I thought something really special was going to happen. So I waited 2 hours listening to this for the results just to be incredibly disappointed seeing shiver win once again.
Why do you hate Deep Cut?
Because Big Betrayal fucking sucks
abhorrent taste
deep cut's music has been some of the best in the series and has really changed my opinion on them for the better.
I'm not simping for Shiver here, but
>Big Man's contribution to the songs is some weaweawawe noise
>Frye has an ok voice, just regular
>Shiver nails it with the Amami Shimauta-inspired vocals
I really liked her singing in Calamari Inkantation
Nothing beats the original calamari. Greatest moment in splatoon
In lore Big Man actually writes the songs and makes the music to be fair
why are bow and sniper fags the worst players
Because they're technical weapons with inconsistent results, assuming you mean tristringer. Reeflux itself has trouble fighting but is a turf demon. Because of that though it can attract some shit players. Even the best charger players have matches where they just are completely off. They're tough weapons to use consistently.
A lot of them probably still aren't comfortable using them. The only real way to get practice with them is to hop into open and but more often than not they'll miss the majority of their shots.
I'm curious how that would taste now. Ice cream probably soothes the heat immediately.
Black coffee vs coffee with a bunch of stuff in it vs tea
coffee with a bunch of stuff in it easy
Wrong
if it's wrong I don't wanna be righ
You just need some milk and a little sugar, not allot
based and honest sugar enjoyer. nothing wrong with the occasional caramel macchiato white choco mocha diareah ass explosion grande XL with whip cream and sprinkles
cringe and obese goyslop enjoyer is more like it
Just buy a milkshake at that point. That isn't coffee.
even a milkshake is more honest than all that syruppy crap.
you guys never been to a local cafe and gotten like a spanish latte or something? Its a nice treat once in a while.
Coffee elitism is real.
I like my coffee cheap and disgusting. I can't taste it anyway smoking a pack a day.
I've been to a local cafe before
didn't get a spanish latte I don't think
also stop making me reminisce
My sister drinks these everyday but insist her ever growing fat reserves are just baby weight
Why are you going full architect on your sister bro?
I’m not I wish she would lose weight so my nephew has a healthy mother
I fucking love coffee but I don't think they could ever do a splatfest with more than one option as coffee because it would totally alienate the kids. I think it would be "which hot drink is the best? Tea vs Coffee vs Hot Chocolate" or something like that.
You aren't even drinking coffee.
For me it's coffee with SOME stuff in it
I used to teach Sunday school and half the girls would come in with star bucks, but that’s fair. Swap it for soda
Hot chocolate is better yesh you’re right
>You aren't even drinking coffee.
cool
okay this shit can fuck off, I just want a bit of milk, some sugar and drinking chocolate
>and drinking chocolate
Salmon room up for about an hour. 2/.
I don't really like fishing
I end every match pissed off, win or lose.
Why is that?
Well, first it's the getting annoyed at the mistakes made by myself and my teammates, and while I enjoy the core gameplay, there are a myriad of small design decisions that together aggravate me.
Accept your role. You either carry or you lose. Play the best you can, and you'll never have regrets. Praise the Lord.
>win my match for the day
>waste 30k on another roll instinctively
Fucking got spoiled on the conches.
Splatfest withdrawal, poor thing
if you don't play ranked you literally aren't playing the game
turd war is a fucking god awful mode
Japs disagree. They've shown you can sweat it out in turf war and still have "fun". It's just a more chaotic kind of fun with a less maintainable objective than the ranked modes. People that cry about the goofy casual mode are some of those most cringe players imo.
Agreed, turf war is fine for mindlessly playing the game but it's clear it's meant as a tutorial or the hopeless shitter containment zone.
Most competent turf players end up spawn camping so that the enemy team never get the chance to take the map back. By the time players are doing that they're probably craving the additional complexity of ranked modes.
No reason to play turf once you're familiar with the gameplay.
anyone up for turf tonight?
I got mentioned a couple time in the previous threads and I don't know why
The autistic namedropping schizo was naming literally everyone who has ever played in the thread or popped up in the notifications tab. consider it a form of flattery. Some people feel left out that they didn't get mentioned
How do you even know that you were name dropped if you weren't participating in the thread when it was happening? It's not like this is a general with the previous thread linked. Do you search your name in the archive or something?
You don't have to participate in a thread to read it
You go back and read dead thread that you weren't in at the time? Seems kinda pointless to me tbh. I'll just read/post in threads that are currently up.
NTA but we just had the splatfest with lots of cuhrazy reactions. I personally read through all the threads. Each one linked to the next one so if you had a previous thread open before you went to bed it's not like you had to use the archive to find them. Just skim through them and jump to the next thread. We've had like 10 threads in the past 24 hours so there's some funny shit that went down
I woke up and I had the Shiver celebration thread still up and continued to read what was begin said about the people who play in the pool being called shitters and what not
Wasn't able to respond since I was at work all day until now
From what ive been reading im now on some sort of "list"
the blacklist is a meme, everyone who ever played in the pool is on it according to the schizo
I vote to actually blacklist Gibbs for being a fag and posting clips of anons making mistakes
I think you should just drop it
if he becomes a regular problem then people can make their own decision at that point, we don't need a fucking rulebook of who we can and can't play with.
Or people should start publicly calling him out too.
You don't need a blacklist if you just shame him into leaving for being a giant baby.
Yea there's no point of a blacklist anyhow. If you don't want to play them with someone, don't.
so nothing to worry about. cool
making a turf room in a few minutes
Ganker didn't play with me this Splatfest fuckers though I was a shitter but I got the golden badges and he didn't. Fuck you it was only one bad game.
I tried playing tricolor for several hours during the last day and only one person would ever join me. I even put up a room at the start of a rotation and had to wait like 15 minutes and it was the same guy.
Sorry I didn't play tricolor. I was farming the Deep Cut Golden badges I only unlocked them at the very last game.
Ah okay I guess that makes sense. I didn't think there would be too much of a rush since they're coming back with every splatfest. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. Was worried I was actually on the blacklist for a bit there.
Yeah so it should have filled a lot faster. I sat in those rooms alone the whole time.
I don't think the fact allot of people joined tri just to get the badges. I know I didn't, and I still don't have the gold badges.
anon you do know the tricolor rooms are only for 2 people right
>the blacklist is a meme
No it isn't. There are people in the pool you should avoid playing with
e.g. deens, fangfox, etc
>fangfox
He's a total shitter I swear he loses game just be being there
>t. Shiver Team Anon.
What's with the DEENS hate? I played open with him a couple times and actually expected him to be shit because he gets name dropped so often here. He was pretty good. I don't get why you guys keep doing this.
you know what they say....
Do city slickers really?
I've never understood what the sneed stuff means tbh. I swear I'm not a newfag. I remember hearing it was a meme from Ganker several year ago and I know it's a simpsons reference but I never paid much attention to it beyond that. I might be retarded.
I like DEENS he's been playing with me for a long time. I'm the only dualie user in this pool.
Are you also a glooga dualies main?
No.
>I'm the only dualie user in this pool
I used to be but I played in a full 8-person turf lobby right when the pool feature was added and apparently I played so badly that someone called me out specifically to tell me that I'm trash with dualies. I play splatana now.
Bro, when you are shit you'll always get shit on, but just ignore it and keep pushing. Once you become the best, no one will ever shit on you again.
He wasn't exactly wrong though. My rolls were predictable and I struggled to get in close. I wasn't getting much better with dualies.
I really enjoy splatana because it has the range to safely challenge shooters and I'm still very deadly up close when I can get it. It was probably for the best, I play much better now.
Just learn from your mistakes and move on. A victory teaches one lesson. A defeat teaches a thousand.
t. Anon.
If you're telling me to watch my replays I don't wanna.
Pools were added like 6+ months ago. There's no way I could namedrop him even if I wanted to.
I played in one of those very early pool rooms.
I used a custom splattershot and just spammed torpedoes. I won no matter which team I was on and some gay got real agitated over it
>If you're telling me to watch my replays I don't wanna.
No need. Just take note of every reason of you dying and you'll learn to avoid dying. Good luck.
I remember the name of every person who shit talks me
You sound very vindictive
How long is the list?
Like, 2 people
Make that 3. You suck. Your gear is probably not even optimal for your weapon, shitter.
Go ahead and just name them, the people need to know
I never shit talk my team mates. You better not have my name on your list.
The only reason I don't is because they'll have a pretty good reason to know it's me and I don't want that associated with my name. Some people deserve to be shit talked though.
those people are insecure faglords with an ego problem. drop their name
not any more chum.
I'll admit I feel kinda bad when I join his turf rooms. It's turf who cares, but I'm a rather inconstant player.
I like DEENS too, just played with him in turf wars and he's solid at SR when I play with him there, someone must have an axe to grind with him.
Another anon said they wanted to play ranked, which I think might be nice after days of only turf wars, but I'll play whatever rooms pops up
I was able to replace my joycon sticks with the non-drift hall sticks. Nice to have the peace of mind
don't forget to recalibrate
Yup, that's done
I just got them and they work fine so far. Hope that issue doesn't happen with me
Do those sticks even work? I bought that kingkong 2 pro controller thing that was advertised as a pro controller that would never drift and I immensely regret it. That shit lost calibration constantly. It was so unreliable that I replaced it with an official pro controller a few months later because I wanted to stop losing calibration mid match. Picking up the rainmaker and suddenly not being able to move at full speed fucking sucked.
sticks work great it's apparently chingkong that's a piece of crap
in fact i like the hall sticks even more than the ones pro controller has they move and click better
Well that's good at least. There was that news about Nintendo patenting hall sticks and that got me a bit worried. Probably is just those chinks making shitty products though. I have no idea why they're so highly praised.
I contacted support about their controller being unusable. I said I updated the firmware right before contacting them and their response was just "update the firmware again". Fucking useless.
is it normal to want to fuck this thing
It would be weird not to
No, you're a freak. Who could possibly be attracted to this?
Frye fag Frye fag where are you?
I can't hear you anymore where are you?
Frye fans don't really need to spam like shiver fans
What Frye fans lmao there's live five of them.
Frye has plenty of fans, the problem is that I think she's rarely anyone's #1. Hopefully the next game makes the idols equally as hot.
17.73%
You missed the point
Literally impossible because of how the data is handled this time around
Did you not see last thread? There was at least 30 there
All me
>Did you not see last thread? There was at 2 samefags spamming the thread.
Cope any way you like I guess
>hop into the game
>5-0 series
that was nice
Congrats.
So has anyone dug up the other winner dialogue? Or did they know it was going to be Shiver no matter what and not include any?
I don't think you can datamine them in 3
Cope Shiver won legit.
Man I regret not being part of these shitfests lmao.
You will never defeat Shiver.
Tits too big. Shiver is a flattie.
>make 1 idol
>that 1 idol wins
whoa
Despite being 17.73% of the population, Fryefags commit over 50% of all midgame disconnects
lmao once in a x100 a frye disconnected because he was first kill lmao cowards I didn't disconnect when I was losing.
hate that shit
>10x round, win first exchange in mid
>disconnect
the first 2:30 doesn't even matter, at least play the match out you fags
Most of the disconnects I got in tricolor was from shiver team
Thanks for playing. Starting feeling that crappy pre sickness feeling during one of the shifts but thankfully we didn't wipe during first or second wave.
NP gg bro.
GG D and GT
We managed to recover after an early slide.
I lost a lot of interest in Splatoon when the trailer for Splatoon 3 came out and I realized that Splatoon 4 was going to play exactly like Splatoon 1
wrong, you just know she would ask for all of them to be white
How is she supposed to see the cocaine though?
Am I the only one who thinks the sound design of specials is poor?
I think it's good, what do you think is bad about it
Personally, I find the sound effects of their activations are often hard to distinguish from all the other sound effects of combat unless you're experienced enough to know what to listen out for. And even then, most can occasionally still get drowned out. The biggest exception to this is the Killer Wail, which does something similar to ults in Overwatch an Paladins were the associated activation sound effect is not only loud and wide ranged, but also has an added echo effect making it stand out even more from the game's other sound effects. Though I think this is a bit odd from a gameplay standpoint, since out of all the offensive specials it's arguably the least likely to suddenly kill you if it catches you off guard.
Nah even the Splatoon team seems to think so as they gave the Killer Wail a brand new activation sound effect for lock-ons, which actually helps it quite a bit.
Yes. I love being able to tell when an enemy pops a special and exactly which one it is just by hearing it.
I believe grenades need to make more noise.
Explain? I usually dont have a problem identifying which special is being used and whos team it belongs to just from the audio

This is your fault Ganker
>literal who vtuber
I don't know who this bitch is, but from what I know vtubers are fucking lazy anyway.
Who cares. e-celeb garbage but not even one most people know of like chara.
Is it true that GodChara plays in PoolsClosed?
No, but if anyone asks for your name just say you're him.
But that's free advertisement
I really don't think any anon here is going to go sub to the dude
ProChara IS a sub
yeah, sprinkler
All male octos are
I'm subbed to him. As much of a fag as he is, he is an easy source of info from the comp scene. I specifically like his thoughts on balance because I can't be bothered to look into how things are used at a high level or what placement they would be in terms of tiers.
Highly doubt it. I've played against him once and none of the anons here play as well as him.
nope. splatoon ecelebs are way to pozzed to ever be caught on Ganker
This. No one has the balls to be Ganker in Twitch.
but I've heard them used terminology like "based" before. Is based reddit now Gankerros?
You are either openly Ganker or you are not from here.
That doesn't make any sense. What I want to know is how mainstream is "based" nowadays. I know the origin was Based God little b, but Ganker ultimately popularized it. I know some redditors say it, but just how widespread is it outside of this place? Just weird to hear people like them say it
Bro, I don't care if you are a streamer or a developer. Notch used to be one of use until he picked money over us. You either admit you are from Ganker, or you are not one of us.
Very true! He usually plays with us on the weekends
so THAT'S who was in those password-only rooms!
Only person that has a high enough X power to be him is Soup and he's definitely enough of a gay to be him.
I watched this crazy bitch for like 2 minutes and watching her talk to her teammates was like watching someones mom yell at them, it was way too real and uncomfortable. The fuck is wrong with her and why would anyone watch this?
Same. She's pretty mean and rude.
>https://twitter.com/MonikaCinnyRoll/status/1701081076599304467
is she laphi? poor girl
I fucking hate Laphi. He literally doxxes himself so everyone should know how much of an attention seeking fag he is. I have no idea why he's held in such high regard here.
Genuinely nobody cares so long as you're semi-competent at the game. Do you even play Splatoon or are you just here to gossip like a ninny?
I probably play more than you do. There's no reason you should be accepting of an attention whoring gay (literally). Everyone used to hate tripfags on here and he's just as bad as the worst of them.
You're behaving like the biggest attention whoring gay in this thread once again, stalker-kun.
Shut the fuck up, Laphi.
You need to take your meds. You can never get my name right you freak.
You would say that even if I'm spot on, which I'm confident I am. Nobody likes fags like you.
Namedrop yourself you little sissy.
You first, fag.
melia simp
you're not fooling us Chara
Same. You would think a literal gay like him would be mocked here, but no everyone still plays with him.
https://www.youtube.com/@Laphi_desu
>good at the game
>chill ass viber
literally the ideal teammate for SR
I've literally never seen anyone praise the motherfucker even once. It's only people bitching about him.
More often than not people defend him. See
I do occasionally see people mock him but it's uncommon.
Do they? That's the first time I've seen such a thing addressing him, and it's only in response to someone complaining in the first place.
Yeah I usually see people talking him up because he's good at salmon run. Because somehow that makes him okay? I guess it's probably the same group of people that form the salmon run clique like octo chud just samefagging.
>Because somehow that makes him okay?
Yeah because why the fuck would I give a shit about what goes on these people's personal lives? I'm just here to play the damn game, and I recommend you do the same or perhaps get another hobby altogether because you sound mentally deranged!
I already said to shut the fuck up, Laphi.
You don't even have the right guy you deranged freak.
>implying
Implying you need a fucking life, dude! This isn't healthy. I'm not Laphi, but go on thinking that if that makes you feel better you paranoid fuck.
>Because somehow that makes him okay?
I mean, yeah? Why the fuck would it matter in a game with no ingame chat. If you play well and get the team good results, that's what matters when you play. You do play the game don't you? Clearly you are the weird one here
This is either selective memory or we’re seeing different threads. The most I know about the guy is he likes to post salmon run webms and people have been complaining about him more and more recently. That and he dresses his squib gay sometimes. To my knowledge, he doesn’t talk shit to anyone or even shill his channel so it don’t make much difference to me. As long as we have fun games, that’s all I really care about.
Also, I got bad news about who you’re talking to right now.
If you don't see it then you're blind because just look at this thread (you included). He's the biggest attention whore in these threads. Posts clips of himself constantly and literally doxxes himself for more attention. Plus he's a literal gay and a known shitposter. He may be good at the game but that doesn't excuse him and I'm shocked that everyone here just ignores everything else for some wins.
>Also, I got bad news about who you’re talking to right now.
If that's actually you then good on you for not making it so obvious before now. I'd hate you a lot less if you didn't always try to make yourself known.
Imagine typing all that up. Absolute state of you.
Im not saying this as an insult, I mean tihs for real. You genuinely seem like an insane person, maybe you have some bad aspergers or schizophrenia or something. I hope you get the help you need.
>hating attention whores and gays makes you insane now
Ganker really is fucked beyond repair
putting this much time and obsessing over thread personalities to the extent you have is genuinely mentally ill behavior, yes. That anon at least tried to be nice to you about it.
It's not like I obsess over people in the threads or keep notes or blacklists like some sort of schizo. I just post here from time to time and notice a lot of the same bullshit and get fed up with it. I do hate gays a whole lot though.
>last 2 days
That had to have been someone else. I only started complaining about laphi today.
I'm going to be straight with you. You don't seem to realize it, but you have become the thing that you hate.
I agree with
You're all in your tight-knit salmon run clique anyways so you can go be friends and hang out together and I'll get to shut up. Problem solved.
I hear more about this guy from you than I do from anything else besides seeing his name on my SR team
its because you spent the last 2 days of your life writing 10 page essays on one dude who barely actually talks here. you have problems
Oopsie~
Holy shit the noise, how does anybody watch this shit?
>oh you picked heavy splatling?
>here's two bow users, your team will never pressure them, they know exactly where you are in cover and you will die in one shot
Is this supposed to be fun?
IT'S OVER!
>losing with a .52 gal
What a bunch of drama loving gays!
the shiver win streak has mindbroken the fryefags
Definitely the work of mindbroken crye sisters, spot on.
>paying this much attention to the other people in the pool
just host rooms and play lmao
i do that, usually get new people every salmon and do ok
What build do I use if I want to role-play as a runaway freight train?
Special charge up Inkbrush Nouveau. Can run around at high speeds and spam ultra stamp.
max run speed splat roller
>we now have our own dedicated schizo who will derail every single thread
great
People should have known better than to respond to them.
I thought ACFag was bad
It's a single hater. Inkgen and Poolsclosed are in friendly terms.
I don't see how that's related or why that would be the same guy. What does laphi have to do with /ink/? Is he a st/ink/er?
The hater is fixated on hating Inkgen and the LGBT community.
>and the LGBT community.
Anon I'd hate to break your bubble but I think that's more than one guy...
nope, laphi is bonafide Ganker. that guy is barking up the wrong tree.
So we really have become a general…
Fucking eh, we need to kill off these threads for a little while.
So splatoween is out of the question, but what about squidmas/frosty fest.
HAHAHAHAHA, no
Here's the theme:
What do you want in your stocking?
Presents Vs. Shit Vs. Coal
>Shiver wins again.
Actual Christmas themed splat fest: what do you like best?
Trees, snowmen, gingerbread men
caroling,decorating,baking cookies
That’s a better one
Is it out of the question? Special splatfests have been datamined and they’re not going to add stuff at the start of the season because it would spoil it. Like how the Triforce tricolor map was added a week before the Zelda fest
Well after having a BR and fest in the same month I'm sure there's going to be a cool down.
I still think we're going to get a Splatfest in October and November. This one was just a special bonus anniversary one that didn't add any new Tricolor maps despite two new ones being added in the code at the start of the season
>So splatoween is out of the question
Fuck, why'd you remind me. I got so mad when I found out the spooky fish were a QR banner instead of Splatoween datamine.
I don't know what the hell you want me to say, man, I've been in these threads since yesterday and it's been mostly Shiver talk and Frye cope. Anything pertaining to the guy has been people talking ABOUT him as opposed to anything else. Are you suggesting he's the one shit talking himself? Do you have proof of this? I don't make it a point to memorize most anons unless it's incredibly distinct, and even then it's only ever been the one guy. I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall here, maybe I'm just getting baited super hard or something. This is like when you go into the drawthreads and literally anything and everyone gets called botfag. It's fucking weird, man.
And for the record, I been hanging out since
, aside from going to eat and other stuff. It's almost as if I like to talk about the damn game
If there was a Splatoween the theme would be
Tricks v. Rocks v. Treats as a subtle Charlie Brown reference
So only 3 more Splatfests until Shiver has the longest unbroken win streak, right?
Shiver is at 5. The longest streak was EU Marina at 7. NA Callie and JP Marina both had 6.
>The longest streak was EU Marina at 7
Must've been nice...
We should host private battles with a gimmick like only clash blasters or sub weapons only
I might be up to the idea but wow 8 clash blasters sounds fucking terrible. You'd just be rolling the dice to see who's clash hit first. Count me out.
Fuck it I'm in. I'll be watching the threads to join a gimmick battle. Imagine
>only bamboozlers
>only nozzlenoses
>only heavy splatlings
>only brushes
>any weapon but the special must be crab tank
Isn’t that literally what st/ink/ does?
NTA but yeah they do this. It's not a bad idea to play the game together in a fun way just because st/ink/ does though.
Yea, sure… What next, group photo’s? Guessing those are just “fun” too and totally not /vg/ behavior
/ink/ plays the game too. We can't be like them. Stop playing the game. Restrict us from using an entire feature of the game because we're too cool for that
One of those is a game that we're playing, the other is attention whoring gayry. There's definitely a line there. I don't see anything wrong with playing the game together though.
ricey shitposting all day again I see
How can you tell? The only poster I recognize is the schizo that thinks everyone is Laphi and idk their ign
it's just a meme. ricey barely ever posts afaik
the shitposting lessens when you call him out
>the shitposting stopped after ricey was called out again
You might be onto something
>this amount of namedropping
take it to discord already you flaming homosexuals
I will defend you from the evil ones shiver-shama
why is he speaking words with his mouth?
Liquid Sunshine is proof he can speak regular Inklish. He just would rather speak a language where three "ays" is the equivalent of three whole sentences
Even the TV's concerned.
Fags in my splatoon thread? It’s more likely than you think
good shit bros
>shiver is 55% popularity
>loses pro to big man
>barely wins open and tri by one percent
I guess shiver fans had their hands on their cock instead of the controller
>the splacoom thread actually worked as a distraction
That's not how results are calculated. The popular team doesn't steam roll just because they have more numbers.
World's smartest fryetard right here
Realistically speaking, Shiver being that popular means that more than likely the grand majority of shitters were on her team. I can vouch for that, played with more than my fair share of retards. So the decent people would have had to do lot of carrying such as carrying me. Hell, losing Pro just says to me that a lot of Shiver players teamed up to dominate open and tri-color. I think the same thing happened last splatfest.
And of course, Frye fags accomplished nothing because why would they.
Is there any hope for side order info in the direct on Wednesday?
>info
Yes
>release date
No
No
Enjoy them advertising the October Splatfest a month+ in advance and nothing else!
No it's not Halloween themed.
Wait is there a confirmed date for the direct or this just rumors?
Rumors
Confirmed leaks
"insiders"
It didn't come from an insider, it came from a developer that teased his game reveal. Pretty much as solid as a source can get.
which dev I haven't heard this, also teasing a game reveal doesn't neccessarily mean a direct it could easily just be a standalone reveal or part of a different event
not that I don't think a september direct won't happen, it's one of the safest bets you can make
Sorry I'm having a hard time finding the source again because after the developer said that, a bunch of insiders started leaking shit. The news got all muddy.
It was some small Japanese dev that tweeted out something like "My new game is getting announced on September 14th. Guess what it's going to be". Everyone took that as confirmation of a direct since it's on a Thursday and it's a week before TGS which is normal Nintendo timing.
I'd try to find the actual source some more but the thread is dying.
that sounds believable to me, it's possible, no more like highly likely the dev was made to delete the tweet so don't worry too much about trying to dig it up
leaks from someone with a 100% track record
Yeah I know it's expected to come this week but I just hadn't heard the formal announcement. He said Wednesday so it seemed a bit specific.
If there isn't an announcement for the direct on Nintendo's twitter by 10 AM EST tomorrow it was all just smoke and mirrors
Maybe. But considering that it might not come until Fresh Season 2024, best to lower expectations
I just miss my girls
Obviously, side order is likely to release in Fresh Season, so they are likely gonna release a proper trailer for side order. This is likely the direct before christmas, so they are gonna bring their big guns, and one of those is something to say "buy a switch for splatoon 3 side order, buy a switch this christmas".
>a fucking slosher
>1%
Squeezer is a little weird to use
I don't care about Side Order as much as I care about getting the sexo tank top back. Fucking release it already because I know it's a bonus for buying Side Order.
I just want the friendship bracelet back
>Almost at bump limit
Should a new thread even be made at this point?
Yes. To celebrate Shiver hard fought victory, the threads should continue for at least a week.
You can, but be prepared for people bitching about pancakes again like the last quarter of this thread, and the one thread last night.
It shouldn't be made but some /vg/ fag will probably make it as they like to do, even going so far as to use the same thread images as /ink/.
I say we wait for the supposed direct and see if a new trailer drops for SO. Least then we'll having something else to talk about.
they revealed side order way too early
just compare side order's reveal to oe's and it's clear as day
they should've waited a few more months so they would have at least a little gameplay to show instead of flashes of concept art for 30 seconds
Well now that the thread is on it's way to being archived. What's better? Woomy ass or Veemo tits?
Anything veemo is bad
Shit taste
Veemos have both, so obviously they're better.
Didn't Marina's top literally give the player model a bigger chest?
Correct!
I really have to stop watching these webms
No you don't.
Quick, post more butts
Good butt, but needs more butt.
Say no more.
Yes, good.
3's final Splatfest isn't even going to be worth it at this rate. At least with Pearl v Marina you could chalk up a majority of the former's wins to how fucked the system was and it eventually evened out. With Deep Cut it's basically Shiver hour all the time, which I'm not complaining about because the same thing happened with Marie and Marina. Difference is at least Callie and Pearl were able to establish their own fanbase and things smoothed out eventually. Chances of that happening with Frye and Big Man are exceedingly small, and it'd be lame to have the final Splatfest be Shiver wins by a large margin and the other two never stood a chance.
