The online is dogshit, every 1 in 5 games is like this. It's significantly worse than it ever was in Splat 2. How did they shit it like this?
It's better than either of the previous games. Fix your Wifi.
I'm not using wifi, got an ethernet adapter. I don't have any issues in any other game.
tell the other 7 players to fix their wifi
Tell nintendo to improve their matchmaking system to stop connecting me to people apparently playing on mcdonald's wifi then
i would suggest that if they drop connections a lot they should be losing sr and play with bottom of the barrel noobs
Not him but that's bullshit, my ethernet is rock solid wiener and I get constant disconnections and matchmaking fails, many people online are too, it's shit.
Fix your ISP then homosexual
I really hope this is a troll reply.
No, go down to comcast or spectrum or whatever and demand that they make your internet more stable and rant about how it's ruining your multiplayer experience in a nintendo game where squid children shoot colored ink at each other, they'll definitely take you seriously.
>implying fat comcast nintendies arent gonna be understanding, open up to you and cry about the same problems
what kind of place you live in where the people working at your ISP office aren't an elderly female receptionist and her harem of redneck cable installers?
It was worse for me yesterday but I still get a few connection errors every once in awhile.
You're playing with ragequitters.
It happens during matchmaking, so no
Then it's other people's shitty internet.
pretty much
My internet is fine, I have no issues with any other game. Even splatoon 2 was 99.9% fine.
I was under the impression that splatoon already does that, does it not? would be stupid not to, most other online games do especially for ranked play.
I'm playing on wifi 45 mb down 20 up and haven't had any problems
I'm on ethernet, around 50 up 50 down and have had numerous "a connection error has occurred" popups during matchmaking.
Maybe, just maybe you could stop being a third worlder?
third worlder and can confirm 1 or 2 / 5 games drops my connection.
fricking creatures children, take the L you little shit.
I can guarantee my internet is faster than yours.
Where can I send feedback to nintendo about this?
This. I'm going back to TF2 until this is sorted. Waste of my time.
>TF2
yikes
Works on my machine, fix your shit
I don’t understand this meme. Are you all third worlders Brazilian monkey Black folk with favella donkey powered internet or something?
I live in nipland have had 0 connection issues. Been playing for >10 hours and dropped from 0 games.
There are a lot of people that have double nat or doesn't have nat type A and doesn't know it, this problems go away once you use DMZ in their router
More or less this. If the nintendo servers can't establish a connection TO you via. direct connection, STUN, or UPnP or NAT-PMP then you are dependant on one of the other 7 players being the host because you can't be. Because the game is new it's full of super casuals just dropping in for a match or two then dropping out to do something else so the hosts are hanging around a lot less often than a mature game like Sploon2.
I have NAT type B, what does that mean?
That's what happens when you have wifi warriors.
This. All tendies trying to defend this shit are pathetic.
My connection is nat type A, 50mbps AND i'm using cable yet still get errors constantly. What fricking joke.
Ranked is such a shitshow right now. It's a fricking mess of literal children and the sweatiest motherfrickers on earth, with half of my team always being dead. I regret importing my save
I'm a scrub having tons of fun with even matches 🙂
It's not much better down in C. Half of the players are literal 5 year olds who somehow managed to earn enough xp in Turf Wars to make it to level 10 and half sweaty X rankers who purposely chose not to import their save so they could stomp kiddies.
Everyone that had a previous rank above B was given B- rank when carrying over their data. This includes a mix of B players all the way up to X rank players in the same pool. It's honestly moronic, I have no idea why they would do this rather than just putting you in a tier or 2 below what you were at in Splat 2.
so is single player good or not?
I enjoyed 2's SP campaign and DLC.
I'm taking my time to go through every single level, on the fourth island now and it's basically a slightly easier version of the Octo Expansion with an open hub map that you can explore or beeline for the bosses, easily the best base campaign on a Splatoon game so far.
nice, how does it run docked?
Nearly 1080p/60 all the time. The lowest it drops is like 860p
Hearing English as the rocket counts down after a whole game of squid sounds was kinda jarring.
>Won't get my copy til Monday
At least the kids will be in school.
I'm going fricking insane from the same Salmonid beat replaying over and over.
>buy physical because multiplayer games lose my interest quickly and I can always resell it for like $50 down the line, essentially paying 15 to "rent" it indefinitely
>playing through XC3 at the same time and I hate having to swap carts
i only get physical for single player games since changing cartridges sucks and is soulless on the switch plus i never sell my games anyway
Splatoon is the one Nintendo series I buy digitally. Frick cart swapping for games designed to be played 30 minutes a day and it's not like I have interest in replaying their campaigns a decade from now.
>I can always resell it for like $50 down the line
Nintendo games keep their value
Post your woomys and veemos
Fricking Cohozuna, haven't managed a single kill on it yet. Any tips besides get gud?
Just shoot it, Fox!
Fair enough then - I know about shooting the eggs at him but when we get to that point there's normally several boss salmonids at once, and everyone has their hands full (or dying repeatedly) so we usually time out before we can get a kill. I think the lowest I've seen his health is like 50%.
The location or the pose? Former it's accessible via the stairs to the hat shop, latter if you stick an amiibo on your controller when you're in photomode it gives you some poses to use. I've just been using the squid one so no idea if it varies.
I meant the location, I tried forever to get there from the other side of the sign. Didn’t think about going around
The eggs do the most damage so you should really focus on killing the other bosses to damage it rather than shoot it directly
really? I've only fought him twice but he seems pretty easy. you are shooting the gold eggs at him right?
It's basically just a giant moving egg basket. Kill boss salmonids and shoot the eggs at it
yeah
put on a trip already
HOW THE FRICK
git gud
Just like any boss, hang back and observe its attacks.
-He targets players by jumping in the air and trying to land on them.
-when he sways back and puts his fins in the air, he attacks with a splash lunge attack directly in front of him.
he seems to only have these 2 moves. the mooks around him are what will kill you if you get careless.
Protip: Shoot the Cohozuna until it dies
Just beat the bonus stage in the campaign. Took me two hours and I regret nothing. Granted it said I earned new online titles and they aren't in my options for some reason.
go to the hall terminal to get them
Is that in the online lobby?
yes
Squeezer might actually be the best weapon in the game right now outside of N-Zap but that's only because N-Zap has Tacticooler.
What time does the shop update?
8 PM EDT so in approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.
2 hours and 13 minutes
>post yfw Calamari Inkantation 3MIX
>this shit again?
why can't they stop reusing this song
Get out
The song loses its magic if it keeps being used in every single campaign. They even had it in OE for the secret boss. Do something new, goddamnit!
this is probably the last time it gets used in a big way since this is the "finale" of the current saga

>playing on portable mode at Barnes and Noble

I made my username Splatoon 3
why not Splatoon 4?
why does the bow feel like such ass?
They made the new weapons bad on purpose, as a joke.
Is there a way to change music in the lobby building?
I though the Bow and Katana were bad but I just wasn't using them right so I watched some pros and they also can't make them work and are bad with them and think they're bad weapons.
>pro splatoon player
idk i've met some real good trishooters in ranked. i'm c- so you know i'm legit
I want to play as a salmonid
bros, I gotta be honest. range blaster is the best weapon in the game
How many levels does the catalogue have?
Has a list of the rewards been put out anywhere?
100 and yes, i think its on splatnet
>spoiling the catalogue surprises instead of being surprised every time you go back to hotlandis for your new prize
ngmi
100
There's a second catalog after the first though.
How the frick do they expect anyone who doesn't no life the game to get all the rewards?
>After Alterna
After Alterna only took me a handful of tries, though I did derust to Splatoon's bullshit by replaying Octo Expansion a few days ago.
I love the Ink Mine, but on some maps it is just absolutely shit. I cannot for the love of me figure out good placement on Eeltail.
I'm not sure I like the changes they made to clam blitz. It's way too easy to make a power clam, I think ten for a football in s2 was just fine. Now it has s2 rainmaker syndrome where every match feels extremely one sided. Of course I know ranked is a mess right now, but cb just feels awful to play. I don't know how I feel about being able to jump back to spawn without losing your clams either
Hammerhead Bridge was a shit stage in 1 and it's a shit stage in 3. There's only one path forward so if one team can dominate, there's no fricking way the other team is getting through.
What is the worst sub? For me it's ink mine.
Woops didn't meant to give a (You) to anyone
>worst sub
Point sensor is very ironically named, since it has none.
I feel like the Autobomb fulfills the same detection purpose as the Point Sensor while also having really obvious advantages.
hey frick you me and my squiffer have been point sensing since splatoon 1 just fine
it's helpful to make my moronic teammates realize that there's someone behind us that we need to kill
I was a huge fan of it on my nautilus in 2, had good range and marked them for everyone.
Hell no, that thing rules on something like a splatling.
I'd rather have the bow than the Shitana.

I got a badge for weapon freshness but it's not showing up to put it on my Splashtag, where the frick is it
receive items from the computer in the lobby
Sure it wasn't a sticker for your locker?
Oh, it was a sticker, why is the locker room on a random unmarked black wall the game never points you to?
Anyone know what all the freshness ranks earn you? Does turf war freshness (why do they share a name Nintendo) get you anything but EXP and the flag?
I believe when you're fresh with a certain weapon for a while you periodically get a bonus to your overall freshness after a match. It's a big chunk, like a couple matches worth of points all at once.
You get a weapon license when your freshness rank goes up, not sure what else it does.
>why is the locker room on a random unmarked black wall the game never points you to?
It un-darkens after the first time you visit it, but yeah it's really confusing
Is it in the terminal?
It's a sticker sadly
I wanted it on my plate
>The track that just goes BING BING BANG BING BING BING
Fricking great, got up to Pro +2 so far and the malding and frustration hasn't set in yet. Being forced to level up to 10 only through Turf War is dreadful though.
>malding and frustration
here's a little excerpt
glad it's not just me that's noticed the weird boncy physics jank on these flying bastards. As if they weren't already annoying enough to deal with already. I think I got a clip somewhere of a bomb literally going straight in and bouncing out anyway as if someone yanked it out with invisible thread.
Literally all you have to do is aim for the interior of the trash can instead of bouncing the grenade off the lid.
I swear we had an invulnerable one yesterday. Everyone kept making rounds of the stage passing by the fricker for the entire wave, trying to get their throw to register. It was frustrating and amusing at the same time.
Yup I don't like Undertow Spillway.
Tfw no weapons clicking with me

FRICKYOUFRICKYOUFRICKYOUUUUU
Why did they bring them back
Idk but seriously frick them and every weapon that has them
seriously this shit is so cheap, braindead and boring
at least the shield bubble special can kinda counter them
It was never even close to this bad in splatoon 2
>winning in splat zones
>continue w/ group
>now sitting in a lobby by myself
>Matching... 400 seconds
how the FRICK do I leave?
Press home button, wait at home menu for a few seconds, open game back up. Same as s2
why not just put in a "leave" option in the fricking menu?
Because it's okay when nintendo does it
there is a leave button when you first queue up but it disappears after like 10 seconds
i guess their poor little matchmaking servers cant handle people dropping in and out of matchmaking all the time
Slightly faster to hold HOME and then turn airplane mode on and off again.
You can't use airplane mode when docked and I assume that's how most people are playing this game
I can't fricking get good at Gyro controls.
When I fight someone 1v1 I either always die or we both die at the same time.
Has anyone got any tips to improve? It feels like I just can't get good with it
keep them at range with something like splattershot pro or squelchers. It's easier to aim when they aren't in your face.
Find a weapon that suits you. Most people find the pistol or submachine gun style weapons easiest (i.e. splattershot, n-zap, sploosh-o-matic), but you might find rollers are your thing, or brushes, or a minigun. Also, don't forget about using your sub whenever you have a window to do so - it's especially important for new players to learn how to bomb throw.
You can practice more easily than ever now, so use that opportunity whilst you queue for a match.
If you can't shoot better then shoot first.
Learn positioning and when too retreat.
Octobrush and you don't even need to aim lmao
Seems like the biggest issue is that people need to turn up their sensitivity. Find the sensitivity that best suits you and remember to use the stick for general camera movement and the gyro for precise aiming.
So gyro should be low sensitivity, stick high?
Nah other way around, put gyro at max and see how it feels.
Personally I prefer the gyro to be more sensitive because it allows me to lock on my target and follow them more easily while the stick is less sensitive because I find the camera moving too quickly to be disorienting.
It's almost the opposite in my experience, though, I get more errors whenever I choose to continue immediately (and stay as a team), compared to if I queue anew.
I agree, kind of an awkward map.
Is Salmon Run fun and worth ranking up in? I’m very much more pve oriented but idk if it has any depth to it at all I’ve played a few matches but it was super easy
It gets more hectic and complexity comes when there's 4 special salmonids after you with different weaknesses you have to kill them with.
It gets harder as you rank up, it's pretty fun.
The higher your rank, the crazier the mode gets. You'll be hearing "BwwwoooOOooooOooo" like every ten seconds.
When the frick do I get new tags for my ID?
The game says that to post online you need twitter/Facebook, anyone knows if you delete the post from your account it gets deleted in the game too?
Is there a max number of posts you can make?
Can you see your own posts anywhere in the game?
What's the best way to kill the Cohozuna? I haven't killed him once since reaching Profreshional
Eggs.
Don't die and be really fast at killing bosses.
Cuckhozuna kneels to the splatana chad
okay I got the game
do I play multiplayer or single player first?
Don't play either until you've 100%ed the card game.
this, the item you get when you max out your card battle level is fricking INSANE in ranked matches
Single player. Multiplayer will run out of power eventually if you don't.
where the FRICK do you get the rewards for salmon run?
Next to Mr Grizz's radio
next to grizz
See the counter next to the radio and manual?
read the manual whilst you're at it, scrub.
I have spent like 20 minutes taking upskirt shots of Callie I am very well adjusted
Why the frick would I ever use anything besides the aero spray? Genuine question
Go play ranked niggy
Good point. I'm still lvl 5, just been playing for a lil over two hours. What's everyone using on ranked?
A mix of everything
but if you want meta, then Nzap
Just felt like an inaccurate weapon when I tested it and I like killing people with paintbrush.
Thanks for the answers everybody. Hope you're all enjoying the game.
>no range
>sucks at killing
>questionable kit
It's only good at turfing and there's other weapons who can do that just as well while having better kits and kill power.
It can be decent in splat zones but even then there's better options.
>questionable kit
lol what? one of the best specials in the game and fizzy grenades that paints in front of you and then cluster bombs...
Im gonna be real i dont even know what kit it has i just wanted to convince him that aerospray sucks
What weapons have the best kits?
I miss sea slug auntie
>anyone criticizes Nintendo's shitty netcode
>it must be your fault, there's no way a company known for being utter dogshit when it comes to online could have bad online networking in this game!
Keep spamming the thread and the servers will get better.
I’m sorry for your experience but I’ve only been dcd once in the 30 matches I played today
sucks to be third worlders, im playing on wifi and have had like 1 or 2 DCs in 50+ games
you're the reason I keep getting connection errors, wifi Black person
There's no excuse, but in my experience I've only had 1 DC in 70-80 games. I'm on wired in Northern Europe
Never forget
What do your get with the amiibo's this time around?
Same stuff as before and because male and female characters share the same clothes you get both when it's available which kind of opens certain options.
Do you really not get any more bonuses in salmon run after hitting like 1500 or 2000 points? All I get now is the same hat
It resets every shift.
Though the hat is monthly.
Nope that’s shit
Connection is fine though and I have dogshit internet
>Last one alive in a Salmon Run
>Idiots keep moving around like morons as I frantically attempt to hit them with the fricking Splatana
Just stop moving. Just sit still. Unless I, or anyone else, am very far from you, you do not need to move around in circles to get my attention to save you. This fricking piece of shit weapon is annoying enough to use without having to try and hit a moving target the size of Small Fry while I am running for my life from 5 boss salmonids.
Sometimes its easier to chuck a bomb at the bouncy little frickers.

I do not understand what squid surge is for
i keep forgetting it exists
So you don't die immediately when climbing a wall someone is shooting down I presume
i feel like it's mainly for rollers to quickly jump up and kill anyone standing there
apart from that seems kinda useless
It's extremely situational, I think. I use the dash roll thing (forget the name) all the time, but squid surge I haven't found a use for nor seen anyone use it in a practical way.
I use it all the time on the fish sticks in Salmon run because some weapons can’t ink the whole pole (or can’t do so fast enough), and with the squid surge you only have to ink the bottom half or so
>he actually believes 7th gen gaming isn't zoomer
Hoe the frick do you beat the first boss in story mode? Third phase is literally impossible lol.
It is impossible, no one has beaten it.
Shoot at it until it dies
??????????????????????????????????
mf how? Can you not read?
You joke but there genuinely doesn’t seem to be enough time to kill all the eels in each attack/the gun they give you is not strong enough to kill them all in time. Is there some sort of upgrade to the gun that I missed or something?
Just keep shooting at them anon, she'll get tipped over eventually
You can move closer with the ship. Gotta get closer to the big spots to suck em.

Just squid right up to the balloons and pop pop pop
They should have gone full Champion's Road and removed the checkpoints from After Alterna.
DO I IMPORT MY SAVE DATA?
It hardly matters, you'll be stuck in grind hell anyway for a little while as they decided to lump everyone into B- when you import data regardless of your previous ranks. Might as well import so you at least get a choice of any 3 weapons free.
I missed you bloblobber
I don't even care if you're suboptimal
Why the frick can't we do salmon run solo, offline?!
or just local multiplayer. why the frick does all this cancerous online DRM have to be attached to good content that works well for single player. I don't want to player with random morons and deal with online lag and dropouts.

Yeah I honestly haven’t spent much time with them, I gave my NES games to my cousin decades ago when he moved away, he returned them recently with a bunch of new games added, including those
i will never ever defend p2p but sadly it turned into the norm after consoleBlack folk and modern warfare 2 sucess.
There is a lolo2 and 3? the frick? that game was scary as af when i was a kid
I desire to use the biggest gun. Any Hydra aficionados got tips?
if it's anything like heavy splatling then stack the frick out of run speed
Been working on prioritizing run speed since you spend so much time running around in kid form.
I need to get better at using small bursts in a pinch. Getting spooked when someone sneaks up on me has been a source of a lot of deaths.
When you’re revved your ttk is unparalleled
If you aren’t revved, four quick taps will still kill when desperate
Wait until they’re in range and THEN shoot, don’t just spray, that lets them know where your range stops
Seriously why the FRICK AM I ALEAYS LOSING FRICK

Does upgrading your gear in single player change your clothes? I wanna keep my chocolate midriff.
I don’t know but I also want the answer
Nope, you stay in those loose clothes
Your appearance does change however at the level results screen depending on how much armor you obtained
Based. Still won't upgrade, I'm not a casual.
You gotta upgrade it to max if you want those Callie and Marie stickers for your nametag.
First official splatfest when?
Also when are those Big Runs gonna happen?
Maybe two weeks from now.

is there a way to lock your ink color in salmon run?
I'm colorblind and whenever it uses pink ink for the team during fog I legitimately cannot see what's been inked. Shit sucks.
Turn on color lock.
Doesn't appear to work on salmon run
The internet says it does. I dunno.
They really need to fix spawn point squid jumping, or make the area inked by default
like why is this where the spawn point is on this map? you can't even fricking ink it!
apparently unpairing your joycons from your switch (not just removing them from the switch, there's an option to unpair all controllers in settings) and putting the switch into airplane mode (bluetooth enabled, ethernet connection) decreases interference with the pro controller and makes it more reliable
this is some of the most autistic tinfoil hat shit i've ever read, congrats
it's true apparently
Why did they have to go with calling the player Agent 3 in this game? Every time they do it, it feels wrong because in my head Agent 3 is the Splatoon 1 agent. It's like that dumb reboot naming scheme that calls a reboot the same name as the original property, but for characters, it's stupid.
i assume its supposed to be a homage to james bond, 007. it's just a code name for a really good agent that changes hands every generation.
But Agent 1 and Agent 2 are the same agents, and the old Agent 3 is, y'know, still there.
They didn't have to do the whole Captain thing, and they still could've called Agent 3 Agent 3 either way. Plus, there's a whole 3 slots they could've put the new Agent in - Agent 5, 6, 7...even 9 if you count Deep Cut being hired as them taking up slots. It's just dumb.
>They didn't have to do the whole Captain thing,
Agent 3 saving our asses in Octo Expansion from being minced octo meat is absolutely worth a promotion
Worth a promotion to standing around, not doing any captaining and letting others speak for them. Damn, wish I'd get that kind of promotion.
Captain can only speak in booyahs
>letting others speak for them
You mean having a former world famous teen idol as your secretary because you’re too important to speak directly to the grunts?
Captain Cuttlefish didn't feel himself too important to talk to 3.
He’s also not having nightly lesbian shapeshifter tentacle threesomes with pop stars, he’s old school like that
Agent 3 got promoted
Since Agent 3 is the new captain of the squidbeak splatoon, it opened a new slot for a new agent 3
Man i don't remember people being this good at the game, I'm getting my ass handed to me and being alive for like 5 seconds.
Game just came out and veterans are everywhere
Give it a few weeks
All the A to X rank players are lumped in with B rank right now
IIRC you're suppose to get a ticket for weapon proficiency? Is there a progress bar somewhere for that?
The vast majority of players I see are Octolings, I kinda want to switch to Inkling just to be a contrarian.
That’s what I did because I’m a hipster homosexual
Also because hime cuts are good
I don't understand how to play this thing without being rushed down.
I think I wasted a golden ticket just because it looks cool.
Stay behind your teammates. If they die, throw bombs, use your special, and/or GTFO. And yeah playing backline is hard if the other team knows what they're doing and yours doesn't.
never played splatoon before bros will I just get sharted on if I start now?
Everyone's getting sharted on just go ahead in
Yes but just have fun
I was like S+7 with splatling in 2 but I’m taking this opportunity to be a shitter and try other weapons
I’m finally gonna be able to play tomorrow, are there any weapons that are more like a grenade/rocket launcher heavy weapons guy? I played the splat fest and I only liked the umbrella and moonblaster
Explosher, blasters
Splatling is literally heavy from tf2 if that’s what you mean
Nah I meant EXPLOSIONS
I’ll check out explosher then
>Splatana and Stringer both in salmon run
>Any story missions with splatana and stringer
>Your team in turf wars using splatana and stringer
>These garbage weapons plaguing everything
Splatana is good though, I’ve been using it and I almost always have a good k/d
Anarchy is win five to gain, lose three to lose
>got rid of fricking Splashdown
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Splashdown was the definition of a noobstomper. It's good at low level where no one knows how to deal with it but it's shit at high/top level where everyone knows how to deal with it.
Always feels good catching people off-guard with the superjump splashdown though
The line+explosion train special looks like the new Splashdown, only it kills me from ANY point in the blast radius, comes out faster, and is harder to counter.
what's the difference between anarchy series and open?
Open is easy mode where you can't really rank up.
Oh so it gets easier to level in Anarchy? God I hope so because I'm hearing level 98 catalog levels and just feeling the grind before even getting to level 10.
>5 fricking games
why the frick would I play series
To level up.
For the benefits
For Glory / For Fun
>doing the mandatory Turf War battles to get to level 4
>top paint (with SPLATTERSHOT PRO) and top frag in every single game
>lose anyway
I swear Splatoon 3 has the most "oh you're half-decent at the game, we better make sure we team you up with complete shitters for BaLaNcE" matchmaking of any game. And the other team's power level is just whatever it feels like. Only I specifically am getting shafted.
Meant Splatoon in general, it's always been like this.
The worse feeling in the world is when (You) are doing just fine against a full team and you lose because you were 3v4 the whole time with a --/--/00 was afk or gave up 10 seconds into the match.
>every loss is me topping the board and my team doing nothing
>every win is me doing frick all why 3 god players hard carry me
they crafted the perfect match making to make sure you have as little fun as possible no matter the outcome of the match
might as well afk, it wont effect the winrate
This is the worst thing that can happen in a MP game (well, obviously besides cheaters ruining matches), and it happens all too often here. Such a killjoy to have wonderful individual performance ruined by useless teammates, but winning through getting carried also gives zero satisfaction.
Why the frick do I keep FRICKING LOSING
Are dualies fricking garbage for splat zones?????!!!!?!!
Keep the creepy wanker away from my squidgame, thanks.
Now post Tony Soprano
how the hell do you make posts like this detailed. I wanna know
Precision and dotting
Lmao no there's a program you can use that draws images directly into the thing
How come all the inkable long-horizontal walls are gone? They're all just vertical now, serving no point other than to climb up something tall. Feel like only the original let you use the creative movement creatively.

What's the best way to post shit while phonegayging. Share via linked twitter then save from there?
I think there’s an option to share a photo to this app but I just screenshot the app

>all the weapons i like have miserable sub/specs
t-thanks
Block all Splatana mains. They are the Yasuogays of this game. They think they're so cool running in like lemmings dying over and over again trying to one shot charge and miss every time.
Splatana was one of the only weapons I did decent with in the splatfest
T. splaroon virgin
Haven't played since 1 and I'm having a blast. This concept is so good
I find the bow's ability to shoot either wide or concentrated shots, makes it surprisingly great for Salmon Run actually.
Finally won my first series. It's like playing a different video game when you have to treat each charger as potentially good.

KILL THE FRICKING BIG BOSS SALMON DURING ROUND 4 HOLY SHIT WHY ARE PEOPLE SO moronic WHEN IT SPAWNS?
>salmon run is super fun
>Current rotation weapons are shit
Why is the rotation time so long? Why not swap them like every day instead of every 3?
Oh frick, it's every 3 days? That's way too long! I thought it was 2 days and already that is too long.
I think it's actually like 40 hour shifts since the last one started at 8 PM EST yesterday and ends tomorrow at 12 PM EST.
>Turf War
Get jumped on by melee weapons constantly, getting pushed into spawn with no way out, get flanked by everyone the moment you ever decide to push up, games are either a wash or a washing
>Salmon Run
Constantly switching weapons actually aids you in getting adept with more things, how hectic it gets adds to the fun, everyone has a good time, tides are constantly changing so you're always on your toes
Yeah, frick Turf Wars, I'll be a golden egg wage slave until the X Rankers get to where they need to be.
I fricked up and deleted a letter while setting my name so now I have to wait a full month to fix it... why even play at this point.
I can’t do everything guys my fricking teams are useless
When does the store update with new gear?
>Losing by less than 1% in turf war
Its happened to me 3 times already but i dont wanna jump into ranked cause right now its just tryhards stomping people to get past B
>losing by literally 1 p

>Wanting to frick the squids was perfectly acceptable

>the squids didn't grow up alongside me so it is no longer acceptable to want to frick them
it's not fair bros.
Ok anon i will have disgusting sex with Pearl while grabbing Marina's tiddies
Dont worry about it
obviously the idols are exceptions despite having almost identical proportions to the playables [/spoilers]
The creators said that the characters and world age with the players. This game takes place 5 years after 2. They changed up the player models for this reason
Callie will be an old hag by 4.
>They changed up the player models for this reason
but you're not the player character from splat1 or spla2n so you shouldn't necessarily be older
anon, you can still frick the idols
old hag
If you won’t frick her I will.
I'll stick to Marina
>due to the scaling timeline the original Agent 3 is now old enough to drink to forget all the shit she's been put through by these morons
>'you're a kid, you're a squid' is now 'you're a functioning alcoholic, you're going to be doing this for the rest of your life'
Anyways I hope they add her new outfit in the next Super Smash Bros game.

Is there any reward for completing every hero mode stage with every weapon?
yeah if everyone in this thread does it shiver becomes real
no the frick are you a masochist
Yes
no
GRAB THE EGGS AND THROW THEM IN THE BASKET
WHY IS THAT SO HARD
TO UNDERSTAND?
what are supposed to be the changes to tenta missiles on 3?
They don't track as well as they used to. They're still annoying though.
So are they a bit more manageable on salmon run or still the same for that mode?
>People whip around and panic press inkzooka or reef slider
>They usually get at least 1 or 2 kills
Just bring back kraken or something if we wanna have panic buttons
>blaster has a genki dama super in salmon rush
>Pearl amiibo gear doesn't have 3 slots
If leveling up doesn't give you snails, how are you supposed to add slots to your gear?
wait for a Splatfest, jesus.
>Crabtank has its own theme song
Is Cohozuna the only extra boss right now?
I want to hunt more of these king salmonids to make Mr. Grizz proud.
>Alright, we're in the lead with 5 seconds left, we got th-
>Overtime!
>WIPEOUT!
dunno why they even make matches 3+ minutes long when every match is decided in either the first or last 30 seconds
make every game a minute long and it would change nothing
Stop playing turf war
stop playing this garbage game more like
>”I hate how the shit baby mode works!”
>”Stop playing baby mode”
>”FRICK YOOOOUUUU”
lmao
>that feel when your team somehow manages to wipeout the enemy 2 minutes in, but instead of playing it clever, they clump up and end up dying idiotically with 30 secs left
>now you’re basically playing 1 vs 4 on the most crucial moments of the round
Cohozuna is so fricking tough on profreshional. I've killed him 3 times below profreshional but they were all just barely. Now he feels impossible
It's a b***h to fight. You'd think with all the bosses and eggs it would be simpler, but my teams almost always get overwhelmed or can't keep up enough damage to kill him.
>wifi Black folk
Having to use a blaster and bow when youre swarmed with small fry sucks dick
My first King Salmonid encounter was on low rank. But I've been on Profreshional and above ever since and while we almost killed the Cohozuna that first encounter, it survived with but a sliver of health left.
And ever since then I've never even seen it come close to being defeated.
do I unlock the nautilis or the splatlana stamper with my final ticket?
Nautilis, Splatanas are shit
but I already got the hydra and the ballpoint
the nautilus sucks because it has no range
Then get literally anything that isn't a splatana
but it's a fricking chainsaw sword
Splatana hate so strong starting to think people shitting on it are actually using it and want to feel unique
What's as good as the aerospray for turf coverage but has a bit better killing potential.

Do turf wars give you any titles or badges? Have only been doing ranked and salmon run

why doesnt anyone in splat zones seem to know that the objective is to SPLAT THE FRICKING ZONE
people treat this game like a TDM 90% of the time
which would be great if there was an actual TDM mode, but there isn't
Finally. I'm fricking MURDERING with the aero sprayer. Top scorer each round, manage to get to the enemy side and stay there. I think I'm hitting my groove. Feelsgoodman.
you didn't beat the game
>the onions face is canon in splatoon lore
LMAO
>wii remote and controller as a weapon
The developers knew
>wii remote and controller as a weapon
Nope, that a reference to the fact that you can actually play Splatoon 1 with gyro using a controller and Wiimote together if for some reason you can't use the Gamepad.
I was more thinking of idiots not straping the wii remote, and any controllers being thrown at. That's a neat trivia, thanks Anone
NTA but that is the most moronic thought process I've ever heard, congratulations
Thank you, I try my best. I thank the liquor
how do you get the moyai locker decoration?
You find it in the campaign
how do I delete pictures I've taken?
bash your switch against the ground
>Accidentally pressed again instead of nah after a Salmon Run
>Get my first extra wave in the accidental run
Bretty gud.
the 'continue as a team' is so fricking good in ranked when you actually have non-morons playing
there's too much content i wish salmon run wasn't 24/7 and they only had one ranked mode at a time instead of two.. no time to play the campaign at this rate
All of those modes will still be there tomorrow, anon!
that's the problem
Where is the customizable locker? I got all this shit in campaign so I want to try it out.
It's the door behind the gacha machine in the lobby
in the doors under the table turf area in the lobby
Big Man, how could you do this?
really didn't expect him to be the final boss
Why are only the boy squids shown naked in the manga? they even show their bare butts while never showing the girl squids naked
The umbrella feels like garbage, do people main this thing?
it can be obnoxiously good but is difficult to pick up and only shines with good team coordination
Emulate this game with gyro controls is a b***h
Can you play online?
No, everything is offline for me.
why even bother?
TO OWN THE NINTENDIES!
>Play second online match before family demands TV (Frick handheld)
>Team is getting ass handed to us
>Sneak into enemy base and splat it up alone
>Win by 2%.
Feels good man.
dear nogami, please put the fizzy bomb + reefslider on any other weapon besides aerospray at future updates
or just add better weapon + kit combos most of these suck ass
What really happened here? Think somehow the game was already opened and the dad tried to hide his porn DVD and got the cases mixed up or something? Or someone who worked at the store was playing a prank?
Is there a reward for clearing every weapon on the levels of the singleplayer?
Anyone got good tips for Table turf yet?
Deck builds? Strategies?
am i expected to do nothing but ink the base if i use the splat roller
Not necessarily. A jump R2 will throw ink in a narrow vertical slice which is a good one-shot if you can aim. Your main task is to ink, but you'll have to push into the enemy territory to do any good and if you can't rely on your team, you'll need to learn how to hit at close ranch.
You OHKO m8
Don't try to roll over players. Flick the roller at them
Nah, roller is good for pushing. If you're using the basic one then you've got the roomba bombs that are nice for distracting enemies and using as a way to penetrate into enemy-held areas (via the ink trail). Combine that with the OHKO slap and you can get some nice cheap kills.
This, but also the caveat that rolling over an unsuspecting enemy (also a OHKO) is very satisfying.
One of my favourite things to do with the roller is follow an enemy roller, undoing all their work, then flattening them as soon as they realise and turn around.
My right index finger is getting real tired
WHY IS CLAM BLITZ STILL A FRICKING MODE
WHY IS THERE NO NEW MODE AND ONLY 2 NEW WEAPONS
HOW THE FRICK IS THIS A $60 SEQUEL
Rainmaker was added after launch in Splat 1, Clam Blitz in 2, you’ll see a new mode eventually
>WHY IS CLAM BLITZ STILL A FRICKING MODE
Because it’s the best mode you casual Black person
>WHY IS THERE NO NEW MODE AND ONLY 2 NEW WEAPONS
Very small indie dev purezu undasutando
>HOW THE FRICK IS THIS A $60 SEQUEL
Nintendo knows they’re the only ones with a game like splatoon so they feel comfortable in putting in minimum effort knowing you’ll fork over the shekels if you want to move with the community. It absolutely could have been a $19.99 DLC and anyone Is fooling themselves if they say otherwise. Just look at like like you’re buying a “Season Pass” for 3-5 years of Splatoon 1 and it will hurt less.
clam blitz is bad and you should feel bad for liking it
What's the deal with the mystery boxes in the battlepass?
WHAT'S IN THE BOX GUYS?
>steamrolling through a gauntlet of super moves
>this blasting in the background
How did her tongue get so blue?
That's purple
Shiver's ink is the same color.
>Shiver's ink is the same color.
Frye is a very lucky girl
Eating Shiver's octopuss
They should have both been on Team Scissors if you know what I mean
Maybe her butt hurts
Frye being Indian-inspired was a really fricking good call if just for what it brings to Deep Cut's tracks. She's probably my favorite based entirely on her segments of the songs being fricking amazing
why does this 60 dollar game reek like grindy f2p chink shit?
>come back tomorrow for daily exp bonus
>oh run of samon run rewards? just wait 40 hours for more!
>oops you only get one 5k price capsule now waste tons of cash on more!
>come back in 3 months when we add the rest of the weapons
>better wait 24 hours for your cosmetics to refresh
the games already bare bones enough without locking it all behind time gates
Nintendo has been implementing this moronic content drip into their games lately for 2 reasons likely
>draw out dev time and release a half finished game early to start raking in shekels earlier
>Skinner box mechanics to get people to continuously come back
Animal Crossing New Horizons was 10x worse.
Every multiplayer game has this shit nowadays to try the extend the lifetime of the population as much as possible, since people might be wary of buying a multiplayer game if the community is dead.
I like it because it gives me a reason to keep coming back and pace myself after I've run out of things to unlock for the day instead of constantly playing and burning myself out faster.
I heard you can get food tickets from salmon run. Do you only get them from certain bosses or something?
No, via rewards
I have pro plus now, didn't hit this once in 2.
Probably a lot easier in this since you can keep playing instead of being scheduled to play it.
I've played Salmon Run more in 3 these past 2 days than Splat 2.
just noticed this is how i play with gyro joy cons
cross legged and cross armed
HER WEAPON IS AN ACTUAL FRICKING MEGALADON
>just learned that you can ONLY import Splat2 save data when you start up Splat3 for the first time

>already played to level 7 so don't want to restart
God fricking damn it. I really wanted those 3 golden tickets.
>Mr. Grizz dies
So why is his radio chatter still a part of Salmon Run?
That was Grizz 3, not Mr. Grizz. The joke works better in Japanese.
what if there really are more than one though? maybe the boss really is innocent.
Devs revealed in an interview that the messages could be "pre-recorded for all you know".
There are two or more Mister Grizzes.
not really, i have no idea
Prerecorded messages
He's the third one
He didn't die, you can see him orbiting the Earth during the credits.

Jajajajajajaja
Is there an official BR weapon like how LoL had Mordekaiser?
>used to get paired with the nips in Splatoon 2
>now actually getting paired with people from my own country
>they never use booyah or come on
Man I wanted to get paired with based nips again
I see booyah's all the time in Salmon Run when we get like 20 eggs over the quota, or when the enemy gets wiped out in PvP.
I spam Ouch and Booyah back to back as fast as I can after I die.
>splat somebody who splatted my teammate
>no Booyah
>take the lead in ranked
>no Booyah
>charge Booyah Bomb
>no Booyah
>finish wave 3
>no Booyah
I dunno what shitter country you guys are playing in but I always get booyahs back
Brazil. 80% of Ganker is Brazilian (as revealed during the April fools prank where Ganker had flags)
It’s also why you see so many complaints about the “net code stability” in these threads
BR here, I doubt it but it would make a lot of sense.
Hong Kong so I am getting matched with asiatics and chinks now, potentially aussies too.
>not squid bagging after every round
>just matched with someone named Sneed
Which one of you frickers was it
MidnaLover#8000-something reporting in.
my name is "Splatoon 3"
What was the name
me
My name is Bigsneed46
I had a GigaChad. He was a true Chad.

>a day later and it still hasn't come back
What a scam
>2 games end early because someone disconnected in a row
Holy shit Nintendo, fix your shit.
yeah nintendo, fix morons quitting the game NOW
Nintendo can't do anything about people literally shutting the game off mid-match, doofus
Was happening within 15 seconds
and?
It wasn't mid match some gay was losing connection or leaving before the match even started. It wasn't mid match, just at the very beginning
Is the # on your card random is or it sequential based off of when you created your card?
eu bro here, only have gotten 1 connection error so far, 0 today
Im level 9 but I think ive played a lot of games
played <10 salmon runs too
I'm in the US and I've gotten like 2 disconnects total out of all 30 or so games I've played today. There's gotta be some third worlders b***hing about the connection quality because it really isn't THAT bad.
the us has the worst internet of the entire continent
Yes, and I'm in some middle of nowhere town with mediocre at best internet and I'm barely having issues, so who else but third worlders would cry about it if I'm not?
yeah you are absolutetly correct, it's only those third worlders, not like the online is absolute dogshit or anything.
And yet we have the fewest connection issues. Makes you think
I keep getting communication errors as a burger but I have potato internet too.
feels good man
You're supposed to Win 5 matches before losing 3 right? I haven't made it to level 10 yet because I've been too busy playing Salmon Run.
You can still get a good bit of ranked points with 3 losses if you get gold medals
Man, this is bullshit. Every single time I get to fight the King Salmonid, it's always at high tide. This is fricking impossible.
So do you need a Twitter account to have your posts show up in-game or not?
real talk, do you think you'd get reported for posting this?
It's just the crying emoji. And the game has squids and octos. Don't see the problem here...
What's the best way to make money? Just ranked?baleeady got all my salmon run prizes
If you aren't wearing the "hairpin" from the bonus level then get out of my face
i'm glad you can now undo multiple times when drawing. so many nice quality of life changes this game
