This was me on friday. Doing better than ever today now that I switched to inkbrush, really like it. Try a new weapon if you feel like you are in a rut.
during cohozuna round
That's pretty much any of the weapons of the current cycle for the cohozuna wave.
These weapons have the lowest collective damage output of all cycles since launch.
I've been playing Stamper, forcing myself to get good with it. It feels like sometimes I'm an area denial monster, sometimes it feels like I suck. I'm sure this weapon would be more of a menace with a better special.
I don't know how true this is. The Hydra Splatling melted him the other day, I easily did over 50% damage by myself and I didn't get frick all in terms of rewards. I have never even seen a gold scale.
i am absolutely convinced it is pure rng. if anything is datamined that proves me otherwise i'll be surprised. i have regularly received better or similar rewards just getting to his stage and not actually killing him.
Really? I remember getting a shitload of scales when I was dealing a majority of the damage also with hydra. In fact that's how I got my first gold scale
I’m pretty positive the number of scales you get is proportional to the amount of damage you do to him(including after he dies). The quality of said scales seems to be random though.
Really? I remember getting a shitload of scales when I was dealing a majority of the damage also with hydra. In fact that's how I got my first gold scale
>do most damage to him one round and kill him >6 regular scales and one silver >we get to him another time and i spend the round trying to deal with regular enemies and bosses and don't do much damage to him and we wipe >7 regular scales and a gold
ah yes makes sense.
For some reason there people think the NSO app is equivalent to chinese cryptomining spyware (even though it's completely free and you'd have to have NSO in the first place to even use it)
That's moronic yet understandable. Some people seriously think that and that's their right, I guess. We're also all in a simulation and gangstalking is real.

Kinda wish it didn't have exclusive gear because that sucks for the people that can't use it, but yeah, Splatoon is like the one game that actually uses it well. Everything else is basically just the voice chat which I mean the only people that would refuse to use discord instead would probably also refuse to use the Nintendo app, so it's completely pointless.

Yeah, only times I used the app before was for the same things in Splatoon 2. The integration sucked with Smash and I don't play Animal Crossing or the other few games it supports.

Now that you mention it I do remember using it to import patterns in animal crossing, and you could also text chat in multiplayer through it, still not as good as Splatoon's integration but a step above the rest

So far the only exclusive gear is an ugly hair net, the clothing will take a lot of chunks to make yourself but there’s no guarantee to get what you want through the app in a timely matter anyways.

Most of the "SplatNet exclusive" gear is just normal gear with abilities you don't find normally in game.
Only actual exclusive stuff right now is Crusty's hat.
Side note, why couldn't get we get the Splatoon 1 Crusty hat instead.
I just don't think I should have to install an app to access something that is part of the game and should be available in game. It's like going over to your neighbor's house to ask for the keys to your own car.

No because those are least theoretically reduce the clutter of paper coupons (too bad most companies still shit up my mailbox with them). Splatoon app doesn't serve as a substitute to anything, it's purely an unnecessary extra step.
So what's a good point to start playing ranked?
I feel pretty confident in turf war, winning most of my matches but I joined one ranked match and people just wrecked my shit.
Can I just play without worrying of getting into MMR hell that I can't get out of?
If you just want to "practice" ranked, play the Open format.
The rewards for winning/losing in that mode are very low (8/-2 respectively), so you can play without worrying too much.
When they use it I can’t even flank them because it somehow succs it up despite not looking at me. When I use it they just walk up and shoot me through the reticule and I don’t understand shit.
Bro it sucks literally anything. It'd suck up other peoples ults like the akira bike, the booya bomb, trizooka, and mini whale. All of crab tanks abilities.
That's why you hit behind the player or to the sides instead of in front of them. Bombs tossed to their sides or behind them will kill them or at least force them to try to move leaving them open.
>Thoughts on Inkvac?
They're pretty great. So I am not really complaining or demanding that they should be buffed or anything.
But it does actually annoy me how even if you skillfully parry and dodge all the attacks of one or several enemies, if they are right up on you they can splat you all but guaranteed in the window between the succ and shot.
I guess I don't actually have a real issue with that in particular. But why do they need to have a window where you're all but practically helpless and all but sure to die, and still nerf and murder your turning speed while the special is active? It's incredibly anti-climactic to survive, in spite of the terrible turn speed, for the full succ and still die all but guaranteed as soon as the succ ends.
One or the other would have been fine. Both is just kind of unsatisfying and I am not even sure the special would even be that much better if you removed one of these flaws. If you kept the succ/shot window but removed the terrible turn speed then you'd still die all but guaranteed as soon as the succ ends. And if you removed the succ/shot window but kept the terrible turn speed, then you could still be circled around and be side or backshot.
I don't really know. That's just kind of how I feel about it generally. Otherwise I really love the special. It's kind of beautiful how it's a defensive support special, with decent range and coverage, that rewards you with an offensive attack scaled to how many attacks you blocked. Combining both defence and offence, while leaning into the former. But denying the enemy team of their attacks still leaves them as dead meat if you've got an ally with you to take them out. It is a good special, and it's an engaging one too that demands you to pay very close attention to your aim, position, and everyone else's positions for the full duration of the special. So it's far from a set it and forget it special, but it is quick deploy and can be great in a pinch. Really like the thing.
Getting close and point blank splatting is literally the only counterplay for the inkvac.
But the inkvac area is so large you can realistically use it to make your entire team immortal.
Any rapidfire weapon can do it. Or you just have good timing. The latter is admittedly kind of trick though, but I've gotten a lot of inkvac users with my chargers while right up in their face.
But with the rapid fire weapons it's basically a free kill.
But yeah the area of effect is large and the special is great anyway.
Ultra stamp is a direct counter. I haven't tried throwing the hammer at the vac but they get rolled over like nothing. pretty satisfying since the hammer is shit at everything else in this game and my favorite splatling is stuck with jt
that is so gay. So that just leaves reefslider, missiles and whale I take it? taking the hammer all the way to the vac is probably a terrible idea in a neutral situation

If it can suck up the hammer it might be able to suck up missiles too. I haven't seen the combination in action yet.

Inkbrush is a godsend in Salmon Run, but it’s a curse in anyone moronic, which is 90% of Splatoon’s playerbase.
Is Cohozuna just supposed to be impossible on Profresh? Feel like the timer fricking zooms, look one second and we have 50 seconds left at half health, suddenly 10 seconds left and it hasn't budged. Literally only beaten it once and that was the first time I got him. Doesn't help they make maps so full of hazards that one smack from a Cohock sends you flying into water. And I swear I never got instagibbed by a swarm of Little Fry before, they must've increased the amount of times you can be hit in a second or increased their attack speed, Salmon Run is painful in Splatoon 3.
depends on the rotation amd rng
For a kill you both need to spam eggs and have dps weapons wailing on its belly. So if the game just decides to spawn a trillion bosses that take 5 years to kill or it's no damage rotation like this one shit's fricked
Seriously if cohozuna weapons are always rotated why not make it grizzco only weapons?
That would make it so much more fair. I thought this rotation would be pretty nice, but I thought that for the last one too with the inkguzzling Dynamo.
I managed to kill him with randoms on profresh +2. I had the sloshing machine and me and the guy with the bow were wailing on him while the others were collecting golden eggs to shoot at him. Had only like 5 second to spare, felt good
Salmonids are literally a one minded warrior race that want to slaughter until they are slaughtered themselves. If you don't get rid of them they'll overrun every other race until nobody is left, they'll probably turn on each other when there isn't anybody else left to target.
Yeah, they're in it for the fight and actually relish the chance to die in combat (and get eaten afterward). Hell the Griller boss is them already preemptively cooking themselves for you.
>salmonids surge up to murder everything that lives on the land every 70 years >get mad when pre-emptively culled
choke to death on my hot sticky ink, samongay.
There's probably the odd lucky team and some that did in the earlier levels, but once you get promoted to the higher ranks you're probably shit out of luck with randoms. The best case scenario I've had is getting down to like the last 10% health
It's easy >Get ball >Throw ball at basket >Cry because despite your best efforts and "this way!" spam giving them a heads up, nobody even tries to score >Watch your teammates stare at the basket and wonder why you're playing clam blitz
Clam Blitz should be replaced with Player Destruction from TF2
Why do people pretend like Clam Blitz is some Uber confusing mode? You just collect clams and throw them in the enemies basket. I don’t see what’s so problematic about it.
Because when you choose the pick up the clams vastly influences how easy it is to throw them in the basket and there is no way to tell your teammates to frick off.
it rewards good play the most and punishes poor play the most. If you control turf you can control the clam drops on the map preventing the enemy team from scoring, if you notice they're all attacking with no defenders you can easily punish with a fast score, if they're only defending you control clams and coordinate specials. since most teams are poorly coordinated a lot of clam blitz games are just one team defending after they get ahead
When you finish wave 3, there's a chance a king salmonid will show up for an extra wave.
We've only seen one so far, a fat frick named Cohozuna, but Nintendo's implied there are others coming down the line.
Anything I should know when facing it so I don't frick up?

Throw gold eggs at him. Grizz says he's given you an egg cannon and that's what it is.
If your weapon does shitty damage you can throw golden eggs at it for damage instead.
When Grizz says he's giving you an egg cannon, that means your egg throws now do damage.
Weak point is stomach and use eggs when the cannon becomes available. Thank you for the intel.
Is it worth starting now, given the weapons are shit?

It's worth it. You want to grab the reward capsules that you can get before the next cycle in two days.
It will be more difficult to kill the King Salmonid when it spawns though because of the low damage output of the weapons. And it's not quite right to say that the current weapons suck. They are all fast and quick, which is actually very desirable for all the non-King levels. And the King Salmonid only ever spawns like every 5+ runs anyway so that's most of them. And a loss against the King Salmonid still counts as a victory overall. Killing the King Salmonid is just a super victory.

Pursue the objective of the mode instead of endlessly swimming to the middle of the stage and locking yourself in a stalemate with the enemy team for 3 minutes.
I really start to suspect silver and gold scales are tied to how many eggs you shoved down Cohozuna's fat ass
For how long is even to get one the payoffs are completely horrid it's like they actually aim for people to unlock everything only a week before the splat 4
I wish lockers were a little more in-depth, like seeing the number of people who have seen your locker, how many people freshed it, maybe some comments or seeing your past posts next to it
just something
>how many people freshed it, maybe some comments
Let's just have a whole new post section called 'Splatbook' while we're at it so YouTubers and Reddit can ruin the plaza even more.
clog as much space upwards as you can asap then try to ruin every attempt of enemy doing shit. Have both big ass pieces to clog and small pieces to fill gaps and farm special points
>Nintendo bans troony flags stages in Smash because it's "politics" and they were doing a good job enforcing it when the game was new >Yet Splatoon is completely ignored
[...]
Black person, I had to turn off my art plaza in 2 because of those troony fricks.
I definitely think reporting works. At the very least it hides the shit from your square permanently. There's plenty of pictures of people b***hing their shit got deleted. Also the square seems to be better now in terms of artwork than it was during the first couple days.
I remember people getting assmad on twitter because they were receiving warnings in Splatoon2, so it might work or it might just hide it so Nintendo doesn't have to deal with gays.
They all have. It's funny. Back during the Wii U days when Splatoon was new. Everyone kept shitposting about games failing to meet the 60fps standard. With so many games on the PS4 promising to meet said standard but failing to meet it. Only to have people mock the Wii U for supposedly being even worse at it.
The logic presumably being that the hardware is weaker, which is objectively true and obvious to anyone. But the Wii U had some of the best 60fps track record on the market. Because the Wii U games were actually optimized and built to match the hardware. And not just built for pretty screenshots not seen in motion.
That's what the woman with the pet chimp thought before it mauled her friend's face and ripped her face off, or the guy who was excited about getting a PS4 and his cat mauled him.
God fricking hell after alterna
I wasn't prepared
I can't even consistently get past that bit where you transfer from one moving column to another now, I somehow slip off. If I get past there I normally fricking just fall off the bit with the ink lines because it's really hard to judge how far you need to jump to reach the next one.
I got as far as the conveyor belt of random blocks, I almost reached the platform with the jumppad on it then fricking ate shit into the water
I'm guessing I'm not even half way done
Part 1: Platforming
Part 2: Targets on rails
Part 3: Ink striped boxes with missiles every 5 goddamn seconds
Part 4: Octoling battles in 3 waves (final one has at least 10 Octolings and they constantly use specials and subs)
Each part has a checkpoint, at least.
Once you get past the conveyor belt of blocks you get your first checkpoint, and for what it's worth I found that first area to be the hardest.
4 stages, Jesus - at least there are other checkpoints. I was seriously concerned if it was any longer that I was eventually going to burn through my stockpile of like 26k eggs.
>I somehow slip off
hold b idiotman >fall off the bit with the ink lines
jump to fat ball on the first three rest are irrelevant and easy >I got as far as the conveyor belt of random blocks

>hold B
You mean like hold jump like I'm going to do a squid surge? My only issue with that is that it slows you right down so I worry I'll not make the transfer between columns, but I'll give it a go.
Thanks for the advice on the fat balls on the ink lines, I'll try that.
You get a Mr. Grizz badge, bear ear headband, and Grizz's backstory in the log section for beating it. If you don't care about any of that, you could just skip it.
Damn it, I wanted the ear band but I lack the skills to be able to complete that stage once I get to it. Oh well. Never got the golden toothpick from Octo Expansion either.
>Part 4: Octoling battles in 3 waves (final one has at least 10 Octolings and they constantly use specials and subs)
Now that it's been a couple of days since I've beaten it and I've restored some of my self confidence I can admit it.
This part was fricking hell and I had to try it a billion times. Holy frick it was so frustrating, the first two waves are manageable but the last wave was an absolute nightmare.
you have a fricking infinite special just run around charging it then splashdown anything too stupid to be near, while octos do in fact try to shoot you down they are no X players and will fail most of the time
I just told you I've beaten it. Also I found abusing the salmon buddy a better strategy, it kills octolings very quickly and even if you miss it acts as a decoy. Almost every time I used the special they killed me in midair.

You think so? I'm terrible at rail shooting levels and I still felt like each section went from hardest to easiest. That one part where you had to zigzag across the 3 rails to shoot balloons on each side was hands down the most rage inducing part of part 2 tho
Not only it has that fricking zigzag where you have dick all time to shoot stuff it also has the final fall where you have even less time to hit stuff and can't even bomb it. Frick this bullshit and frick rail levels
bit with the ink lines because it's really hard to judge how far you need to jump
This was the hardest part of the level. They give you a single line that makes it really hard to judge depth to force you to turn the camera so you can’t see the enemies shooting at you. Jumping off the ink lines also feels different than any other jump in the game and this is the first time in any of they three games that required any level of precision. The whole first part of the level just felt like a series of gimmicky traps to kill and force you to retread the long otherwise easy level with no check points.
Daily reminder
Also I really do hate ranked, still salty about losing 2 promotion exams last night. Think if I ever do get to A I'll never touch that shit again and become a grizzco family man for life.

Honestly doesn't belong in the game either, there's plenty of other platforms for that shit.
Some bosses like scrappers, maws and sometimes steel eels are fine to leave alive so you can draw them close to the basket, or even so meaner bosses don't spawn in their place.
Others, like fly fish and stingers, need to die so fast it doesn't even matter if you get their eggs afterwards.
Once you have the eggs to pass the wave, more eggs are not worth risking your life for.
Flyfish are a nightmare. They're the ones that fly with two boxes at their sides and you need to throw a bomb in each of them while they're open. Kill them as soon as you can.
The UFO-type enemies will come crashing down if you enter their green teleportation field, you can do it to bait them and jump on the saucer to kill them easily.
If you have a paintbrush or a roller, prioritize inking the ground for your teammates rather than killing enemies.
As soon as each wave starts and at the end when the timer has run out focus on inking as much ground as possible. Make sure to paint a bit of the walls as well, they're invaluable escape points.
Always remember you have a special. You can only use it two times, make them count.
Certain stages have cannons you can board by swimming into them. They use up your ink, so whenever you aren't shooting get out and recharge.
Why do I have to sweat my balls off if I want to play turf war, I thought this was the casual mode

I was considering buying this to play multiplayer on my normal switch, but i keep hearing about connection problems. Is it really that bad? Not shelling out 50 bucks+tip(online fee) if it doesn't fricking function properly.
Probably lag in battles.
Plus Japanese players are literally machines, literally charger machines and enjoying it.
Enjoy getting sniped every .6 seconds.
since the cart build was apparently built in april/may, and singleplayer was already finished in it, I'm assuming the DLC campaign started development in june and is probably going to release in summer 2023
It's a long level with few checkpoints so nothing in octo expansion is really comparable to it. It never gets anywhere near as hard as inner agent 3 though. The last section of the level is a similar scenario to girl power station and is a little harder imo since the octos aren't all spawning in from the same direction and the map is smaller.
>and is a little harder imo
Didn't girl power have you defend something from being inked, or was that a different level? In this level you just have to defeat the octarians, and you can always disengage and reorient yourself if things get hairy.
It's long and has several different sections focusing on different game mechanics. That second part is the important one. If you're shit at one of the mechanics it could take a while. I'm bad at the rail levels so it was pretty hard for me.
Yeah, I'd say OE leaned a little more heavily into combat for the hard parts, so if that's your strong suit you might have a harder time with after alterna than inner agent 3, just because of the platforming/rail shooting
Relative to a normal OE level much more difficult simply because of the lack of checkpoints in the first stage, but relative to OE's secret boss, a good bit lower
I don't really remember the levels of cbt the golden toothpick was but I do remember never wanting to do it again it's gonna be topped in the off the hook dlc isn't it
I got this hoodie from another player and I want to put another ink recovery up on it. Will it cost less chunks to put it on the question mark now rather than replacing whatever sub I do get on it later with the chunks? or is it the same price always
It's not much to tell, just lots of artwork of people saying they can't afford splat3, waiting for Christmas sales, or repping their current team in the splatfest
Same price so just level it up and see what it gives you.
I did that before in S2 by buying a pair of contact lenses with a main ability and two subs of Special Charge up and the third one turned into it as well after leveling it.
Also I fricking miss my S2 outfits and their completed abilities, wish this game let you move over one piece of each clothing via amiibo.

Are you sure that it was the same person? There's a lot of people who seem to just rip shit off twitter and put in their cephs. I see identical shit from different people pretty frequently.
Me too. Time is tight. Gotta finish Xenoblade but want my fix of Splat and there's like a month and a week until Bayonetta 3. Lots of cool shit on sale in the eShop right now too.
I really wish they didn't make the lobby so fricking unnecessarily huge. There was no point in it as 90 percent of the place has no purpose and you you're just going to use the menu to warp to the stores/lobby anyway (but you can't warp to the card table which is stupid).
Yet despite it's gigantic size they couldn't be bothered to place a Squid Beatz machine.
I hope so. The test fire already showed that Splastfests suffered for it as there's no central stage and the three members just ride around on separate floating platforms.
I'm gonna be honest, I fricking love that it's bigger and I wish it were bigger yet.
If it were up to me it would have an entire extra layer of streets with nothing important in them just so you'd never have to see the edges while going about your business.
tbh the hero system is killing me. Wanting everyone to get skills for flexibility + increasing the cap to lvl 20 really took the wind out of my sales. I feel like chapter 5 is taking longer than the last 3 combined.
So far out of the ranked modes I think Tower Control and Clam Blitz is fun. So far I have not had fun on Splat Zones or Rainmaker because I’ve found them to be shitty spam fests and it’s hard to operate around this play style. I generally like to use the Gal .52, the Nzap or Reeflux. What can I try to make those modes more fun?
For splat zone try "disruptive" kits to frick with people. Stuff like the Splattershot Jr so you can throw out the beacon special in the middle of the zone to inconvenience the other team.
>gal
you might need to use your wall a little more offensively to shut down some bomb spam, and if that doesn't work you can try to bait people into a 1v1 and trap them with wall. 52 kills really fast but has terrible accuracy, so the idea is to close in on someone so your shots won't miss. to do that you have to be pretty sneaky in zones. haven't used killer whale too much but it seems to play itself
nzap has a bomb, a support special, and all the info in the world, idk what more you could want, just play safer and go in with your team.
I did it legitimately until 26 with the player battles. After that, I started spamming Baby Jelly until 28 when I just started to just pass on every round to get the guaranteed 40 points as fast as possible.
Was it worth it? I gave up at 25
No, because I burnt myself out, despite enjoying the game mode.

You should have to choose an age group when you start playing video games so you don't get paired against moronic children.
This is the mindset of those who play with randos and no communication. Basically "I bet nobody is going to take care of this so I will have to, even with this shit weapon."
If you play with randoms you're willingly signing up for your only communication options to be "this way!" and "help!" If you want the team to win it helps to be mindful of what your particular weapon is best at, and in a perfect world everyone would be doing the same

>using 4 ink saver slots >roll twice with the dual squelchers >half of ink tank gone >roll as much as I want with the tetra >can still throw a bomb and use the slider
Why are people so fricking moronic in salmon run? >no one inking walls other than me >no one going after Flyfish or stingers other than me >MANUALLY bringing back eggs instead of throwing >doing that WHILE A BIG SHOT CANNON IS ON THE BEACH >entire team wiped except for me, try to throw bomb, no one is hit by it because they're all walking towards me >this happens TWICE >have to manually revive them which gets me killed >they then proceed to wipe
Because Nintendo fricking sucks. After 100s of hours of playtime I would love nothing more than to turn the music off and replace it with my own. Frick them.
Anyone else start getting a ton of communication errors in the last like 5 minutes? Every single time in the lobby once it gets to 47 seconds I get a communication error.
>somebody mentions the plaza >half the thread becomes about the plaza and trannies and furries and other shit instead of talking about the game
Tired of this bullshit, go away.
casual no more hereos fans didn't like it because of the lack of levels, awful open world, repetitive combat arenas and abysmal visuals and performance
suda51 fans didn't like it because the writing was weak, there were almost no connections to past ktp titles outside of a few cameos, and certain characters henry were took in a strange direction which loops back to the weak writing
Actually I'm moronic, forgot that the previous run was a wrap and got my pay cut there. Still didn't get my fricking pay from the disconnected one though, fricking bullshit.
I just wanna say this is my first splatoon game and it makes me very happy. I've been arguing a lot with my girlfriend recently and the happy music and addictive tight gameplay is cheering me up
For me it's https://youtu.be/vcwRQvbau6I
Can't believe how insanely good Japan is when making bosses. Elden ring, mgr, Splatoon, bayo... We don't have any cool shit like that coming from westernoids.
I'm convinced they quit trying to make these into gibberish and just made them Japanese with filters. >It'll sell anyway, frick round-eye. Glorious homeland.
I think it would be disappointing if they didn't add a third playable race in a hypothetical DLC, but at the same time they'd have to introduce them out of nowhere and I don't see it happening.
They redesigned Octolings (and invented male ones) for Splatoon 2's DLC unlock. They could do it again, although I don't expect them to (Salmonlings don't really make sense and what else would fit with Inklings and Octolings?).
>Salmonlings
This is a weird one because the regular salmonids already kind of are salmonlings, because they're the "evolved" equivalent of salmon in their world. They just don't look humanoid so people don't realize that
Things will even out by then, it's just extra chaotic right now because the pros from 2 and the entirely new players are still in the same starting ranking pool.
Things will settle soon enough.
yeah but sometimes you're better than everyone in the match but the enemy team actually has more than two braincells combined and coordinate while the rest of your team jack off in a corner or whatever they do while you try to fight 1v4
Beats me, the last games I played were before the shift change. Funny, the first two days I was sort of bemoaning about how much longer the changes feel. But when you're busy as hell, you barely notice. Octo daughter best daughter.
I like the replay function, now instead of being upset that the rainmaker ended up further away despite all the fighting we were doing to clear a path, I realize now that a well placed curling bomb had forced them to retreat.
>tower control >pick sloshing machine >spam fizzy bombs and shots at the tower >throw a booyah bomb at the tower as soon as an enemy even steps near it >win every match
it's really that easy guys
Yes? Inkbrush is the only weapon that's not easily A-tier in this rotation, and at least it paints and a lot and can get you out of a jam with the sprint.
Is there any feeling more satisfying than seeing that your beakons are being consistently used to help apply continual aggressive pressure and ultimately victory?
Especially given how often they're usually ignored.
homies never use the map for some reason
It's both a blessing and a curse because it means I can put a beakon right under the other team's nose and they'll never frickin figure it out
Even two games later I do still miss being able to use quick glances at the gamepad to notice when someone is trying to approach my sniper nest to get the drop on me and instead I get the drop on them
>start playing like absolute shit today for no apparent reason
It happens to everyone at some point, keep trying and consider taking a break if you start getting tilted
>for no apparent reason
This was me on friday. Doing better than ever today now that I switched to inkbrush, really like it. Try a new weapon if you feel like you are in a rut.
>inkbrush during cohozuna round
during cohozuna round
That's pretty much any of the weapons of the current cycle for the cohozuna wave.
These weapons have the lowest collective damage output of all cycles since launch.
>Kitting the frick out of chum while my teammtes clean everything else up
>"B-but Mr.Grizz, those are civilians."
I haven't checked out the current rotation. Last one wrecked my shit.
I think that Carbon is the roller for me
What your guys' favorite mid-range weapon? I've been using the splash-o-matic and I don't think I can get used to anything else.
I've been playing Stamper, forcing myself to get good with it. It feels like sometimes I'm an area denial monster, sometimes it feels like I suck. I'm sure this weapon would be more of a menace with a better special.
>play salmon run everyday from the release to get all the capsules at least
>6 silver scales
>no golds
i got one gold today for the first time and we didn't even kill him. its 100% rng. must just be a low drop rate.
it has to be like 0, something percent, not even gacha has rates this bad
I think you get more depending on the damage you deal on him
I don't know how true this is. The Hydra Splatling melted him the other day, I easily did over 50% damage by myself and I didn't get frick all in terms of rewards. I have never even seen a gold scale.
i am absolutely convinced it is pure rng. if anything is datamined that proves me otherwise i'll be surprised. i have regularly received better or similar rewards just getting to his stage and not actually killing him.
Really? I remember getting a shitload of scales when I was dealing a majority of the damage also with hydra. In fact that's how I got my first gold scale
I’m pretty positive the number of scales you get is proportional to the amount of damage you do to him(including after he dies). The quality of said scales seems to be random though.
>do most damage to him one round and kill him
>6 regular scales and one silver
>we get to him another time and i spend the round trying to deal with regular enemies and bosses and don't do much damage to him and we wipe
>7 regular scales and a gold
ah yes makes sense.
don't you always get up to 10 scales depending on how much health was depleted? I don't think you can get more
>want to get more silver scales
>get gold instead
what the FRICK
>Earned all capsules today
>It's all money

No thank you.
It takes 10 seconds. What's the big deal?
I don't want to install the app. That's all.
For some reason there people think the NSO app is equivalent to chinese cryptomining spyware (even though it's completely free and you'd have to have NSO in the first place to even use it)
That's moronic yet understandable. Some people seriously think that and that's their right, I guess. We're also all in a simulation and gangstalking is real.
I don't think that. I just don't want to install an app I will use exactly once.

I didn't say it was bad, I said I don't want to do it. See
Kinda wish it didn't have exclusive gear because that sucks for the people that can't use it, but yeah, Splatoon is like the one game that actually uses it well. Everything else is basically just the voice chat which I mean the only people that would refuse to use discord instead would probably also refuse to use the Nintendo app, so it's completely pointless.
Yeah, only times I used the app before was for the same things in Splatoon 2. The integration sucked with Smash and I don't play Animal Crossing or the other few games it supports.
Now that you mention it I do remember using it to import patterns in animal crossing, and you could also text chat in multiplayer through it, still not as good as Splatoon's integration but a step above the rest
So far the only exclusive gear is an ugly hair net, the clothing will take a lot of chunks to make yourself but there’s no guarantee to get what you want through the app in a timely matter anyways.
Most of the "SplatNet exclusive" gear is just normal gear with abilities you don't find normally in game.
Only actual exclusive stuff right now is Crusty's hat.
Side note, why couldn't get we get the Splatoon 1 Crusty hat instead.
Which Crusty hat was in Splatoon 1?
I just don't think I should have to install an app to access something that is part of the game and should be available in game. It's like going over to your neighbor's house to ask for the keys to your own car.
Are you also one of those people that get pissed off that fast food places have app-only coupons?
Different anon here, I didn't know that was a thing, there isn't any fast food places for hours where I live.
But yeah that sucks.
No because those are least theoretically reduce the clutter of paper coupons (too bad most companies still shit up my mailbox with them). Splatoon app doesn't serve as a substitute to anything, it's purely an unnecessary extra step.
sucks for you i will be enjoying my new banner
I use an old phone, emulator should work as well

>doesn't want to visit Annie and her unique clothing+ability combinations
Correct. I don't care enough about this game to do that.
For those too lazy to open
So what's a good point to start playing ranked?
I feel pretty confident in turf war, winning most of my matches but I joined one ranked match and people just wrecked my shit.
Can I just play without worrying of getting into MMR hell that I can't get out of?
If you just want to "practice" ranked, play the Open format.
The rewards for winning/losing in that mode are very low (8/-2 respectively), so you can play without worrying too much.
>Round 2 of people think the melee weapon is for chum clean up only
Damn you shooters brains. 1st Dynamo filtered you, know inkbrush?
You really need to learn English before you try to post again
Thoughts on Inkvac?
When they use it I can’t even flank them because it somehow succs it up despite not looking at me. When I use it they just walk up and shoot me through the reticule and I don’t understand shit.
Very good, it being able to suck bombs I didn't expect but I like it
Bro it sucks literally anything. It'd suck up other peoples ults like the akira bike, the booya bomb, trizooka, and mini whale. All of crab tanks abilities.
That's why you hit behind the player or to the sides instead of in front of them. Bombs tossed to their sides or behind them will kill them or at least force them to try to move leaving them open.
Bombs blow them up real good.
>Thoughts on Inkvac?
They're pretty great. So I am not really complaining or demanding that they should be buffed or anything.
But it does actually annoy me how even if you skillfully parry and dodge all the attacks of one or several enemies, if they are right up on you they can splat you all but guaranteed in the window between the succ and shot.
I guess I don't actually have a real issue with that in particular. But why do they need to have a window where you're all but practically helpless and all but sure to die, and still nerf and murder your turning speed while the special is active? It's incredibly anti-climactic to survive, in spite of the terrible turn speed, for the full succ and still die all but guaranteed as soon as the succ ends.
One or the other would have been fine. Both is just kind of unsatisfying and I am not even sure the special would even be that much better if you removed one of these flaws. If you kept the succ/shot window but removed the terrible turn speed then you'd still die all but guaranteed as soon as the succ ends. And if you removed the succ/shot window but kept the terrible turn speed, then you could still be circled around and be side or backshot.
I don't really know. That's just kind of how I feel about it generally. Otherwise I really love the special. It's kind of beautiful how it's a defensive support special, with decent range and coverage, that rewards you with an offensive attack scaled to how many attacks you blocked. Combining both defence and offence, while leaning into the former. But denying the enemy team of their attacks still leaves them as dead meat if you've got an ally with you to take them out. It is a good special, and it's an engaging one too that demands you to pay very close attention to your aim, position, and everyone else's positions for the full duration of the special. So it's far from a set it and forget it special, but it is quick deploy and can be great in a pinch. Really like the thing.
Getting close and point blank splatting is literally the only counterplay for the inkvac.
But the inkvac area is so large you can realistically use it to make your entire team immortal.
Any rapidfire weapon can do it. Or you just have good timing. The latter is admittedly kind of trick though, but I've gotten a lot of inkvac users with my chargers while right up in their face.
But with the rapid fire weapons it's basically a free kill.
But yeah the area of effect is large and the special is great anyway.
Ultra stamp is a direct counter. I haven't tried throwing the hammer at the vac but they get rolled over like nothing. pretty satisfying since the hammer is shit at everything else in this game and my favorite splatling is stuck with jt
The vac sucks up the hammer throw. Happened to me last night, I threw the hammer at someone sucking and imy hammer was immediately deleted
that is so gay. So that just leaves reefslider, missiles and whale I take it? taking the hammer all the way to the vac is probably a terrible idea in a neutral situation
If it can suck up the hammer it might be able to suck up missiles too. I haven't seen the combination in action yet.
I guess I should start using it more to see counterplay. 96 gal was my favorite in 2 anyway, doesn't seem like it will do very well in this meta though

Inkbrush is a godsend in Salmon Run, but it’s a curse in anyone moronic, which is 90% of Splatoon’s playerbase.
I didn't win a single run on my way to the shift bonus
Is Cohozuna just supposed to be impossible on Profresh? Feel like the timer fricking zooms, look one second and we have 50 seconds left at half health, suddenly 10 seconds left and it hasn't budged. Literally only beaten it once and that was the first time I got him. Doesn't help they make maps so full of hazards that one smack from a Cohock sends you flying into water. And I swear I never got instagibbed by a swarm of Little Fry before, they must've increased the amount of times you can be hit in a second or increased their attack speed, Salmon Run is painful in Splatoon 3.
I haven't killed him once yet so I dunno.
Really hope they introduce a better way to get scales cause this shit is tedious and it doesn't sound like winning even makes a difference.
depends on the rotation amd rng
For a kill you both need to spam eggs and have dps weapons wailing on its belly. So if the game just decides to spawn a trillion bosses that take 5 years to kill or it's no damage rotation like this one shit's fricked
Seriously if cohozuna weapons are always rotated why not make it grizzco only weapons?
That would make it so much more fair. I thought this rotation would be pretty nice, but I thought that for the last one too with the inkguzzling Dynamo.
I managed to kill him with randoms on profresh +2. I had the sloshing machine and me and the guy with the bow were wailing on him while the others were collecting golden eggs to shoot at him. Had only like 5 second to spare, felt good
>only shoes with intensify action are those fugly ass pink sandals with SOCKS
Holy frick why
The concept of shoobies is lost on Inklings.
the majority of the shoes in these games are ugly, have been since 1
Salmonids did nothing wrong, what inkling are doing is genocide
It's ok because the Salmonids enjoy it.
No really that's the lore.
Pretty cool. I mean the inklings do too that's basically what turf war is. Not sure if you're canonically killing the salmonids or not though.
Salmonids are literally a one minded warrior race that want to slaughter until they are slaughtered themselves. If you don't get rid of them they'll overrun every other race until nobody is left, they'll probably turn on each other when there isn't anybody else left to target.
Wait.
So Salmonids are basically just Orks on a WAAAGH!? It all makes so much sense now.
Yeah, they're in it for the fight and actually relish the chance to die in combat (and get eaten afterward). Hell the Griller boss is them already preemptively cooking themselves for you.
So we're full-time employees culling the voregay population? Sounds good to me.
>salmonids surge up to murder everything that lives on the land every 70 years
>get mad when pre-emptively culled
choke to death on my hot sticky ink, samongay.
Has anyone had any luck killing Cohozuna with randoms or am I gonna have to convince some friends to play together just to have a chance?
I killed him with randoms on the last weapon rotation. This one feels hopeless
There's probably the odd lucky team and some that did in the earlier levels, but once you get promoted to the higher ranks you're probably shit out of luck with randoms. The best case scenario I've had is getting down to like the last 10% health
I killed him in this rotation for the first time. Never played with friends.

I'm convinced that absolutely no one that plays Clam Blitz knows how to actually play it, myself included.
I don't think even the devs know how to play Clam Blitz.
I know I don't. My least favourite mode
Clam Blitz should be replaced with Player Destruction from TF2
I can't stand clam blitz anymore, feels like every enemy team is a premade
It's easy
>Get ball
>Throw ball at basket
>Cry because despite your best efforts and "this way!" spam giving them a heads up, nobody even tries to score
>Watch your teammates stare at the basket and wonder why you're playing clam blitz
Why do people pretend like Clam Blitz is some Uber confusing mode? You just collect clams and throw them in the enemies basket. I don’t see what’s so problematic about it.
Because when you choose the pick up the clams vastly influences how easy it is to throw them in the basket and there is no way to tell your teammates to frick off.
If you see a teammate with 7 clams and you have 3, just throw him one.
I didn't say it was confusing, I said it's my least favourite mode.
it rewards good play the most and punishes poor play the most. If you control turf you can control the clam drops on the map preventing the enemy team from scoring, if you notice they're all attacking with no defenders you can easily punish with a fast score, if they're only defending you control clams and coordinate specials. since most teams are poorly coordinated a lot of clam blitz games are just one team defending after they get ahead
I like it with competent teammates since rounds can go really damn fast.
Post your mollusks

It balances out though because 90% of aerospray users in turf war are morons who struggle to break 700 pts. At least they do when they're on my team

Also

Anything I should know when facing it so I don't frick up?
aim for the belly.
you're probably going to die anyway
Weak point is stomach and use eggs when the cannon becomes available. Thank you for the intel.
Is it worth starting now, given the weapons are shit?
Current weapons are fine, especially for low ranks.
Anyone currently playing Salmon Run?
I assume the randoms are as bad as they were in 2.
>Is it worth starting now, given the weapons are shit?
It's worth it. You want to grab the reward capsules that you can get before the next cycle in two days.
It will be more difficult to kill the King Salmonid when it spawns though because of the low damage output of the weapons. And it's not quite right to say that the current weapons suck. They are all fast and quick, which is actually very desirable for all the non-King levels. And the King Salmonid only ever spawns like every 5+ runs anyway so that's most of them. And a loss against the King Salmonid still counts as a victory overall. Killing the King Salmonid is just a super victory.
But is it worth playing with randoms? Not sure any of my friends are still around.
Throw gold eggs at him. Grizz says he's given you an egg cannon and that's what it is.
how to throw golden eggs??
A when you're not near the egg basket.
It costs ink like a grenade.
Black person just do the tutorial if you dont even know this
If your weapon does shitty damage you can throw golden eggs at it for damage instead.
When Grizz says he's giving you an egg cannon, that means your egg throws now do damage.
When you finish wave 3, there's a chance a king salmonid will show up for an extra wave.
We've only seen one so far, a fat frick named Cohozuna, but Nintendo's implied there are others coming down the line.
24/7 now and new bosses and maps.
Plus you can throw eggs now, either to get them closer to the basket, into the basket or as a weapon.
how do i get good. I jsut started but im always last place on my team at the end of a match
Pursue the objective of the mode instead of endlessly swimming to the middle of the stage and locking yourself in a stalemate with the enemy team for 3 minutes.
I really start to suspect silver and gold scales are tied to how many eggs you shoved down Cohozuna's fat ass
For how long is even to get one the payoffs are completely horrid it's like they actually aim for people to unlock everything only a week before the splat 4
I wish lockers were a little more in-depth, like seeing the number of people who have seen your locker, how many people freshed it, maybe some comments or seeing your past posts next to it
just something
>how many people freshed it, maybe some comments
Let's just have a whole new post section called 'Splatbook' while we're at it so YouTubers and Reddit can ruin the plaza even more.
>mfw the card game is actually fun
Can you play against other players at a certain level or just NPCs?
Supposedly an update will allow PVP.
Good enough for me
you can fight 'against' somebody. meaning the computer plays using their deck
most nintendo solution ever
How do you play, what are the strats? The tutorial is shit.
clog as much space upwards as you can asap then try to ruin every attempt of enemy doing shit. Have both big ass pieces to clog and small pieces to fill gaps and farm special points
Not good
How is it that every single Tower Control round I'M THE ONLY FRICKING PLAYER MOVING THE TOWER?!?!
Do people just choose which mode to play randomly?
you can report shit like this? And it works?
It doesn't do anything if you report it (besides remove it from your own plaza,) but for some reason people think it does.
It's pretty baffling anyone thinks Nintendo would staff people to police things they don't like
>Nintendo bans troony flags stages in Smash because it's "politics" and they were doing a good job enforcing it when the game was new
>Yet Splatoon is completely ignored
Black person, I had to turn off my art plaza in 2 because of those troony fricks.
I definitely think reporting works. At the very least it hides the shit from your square permanently. There's plenty of pictures of people b***hing their shit got deleted. Also the square seems to be better now in terms of artwork than it was during the first couple days.
>There's plenty of pictures of people b***hing their shit got deleted
can you share? The only one I've seen was for "wazzup lesbians"
>besides remove it from your own plaza
Good, that's all I want.
>People think reporting works for some reason
Yeah, and here's the reason.
Don't know if Nintendo takes any action against the player but the post does indeed vanish from your lobby forever when you report it.
I remember people getting assmad on twitter because they were receiving warnings in Splatoon2, so it might work or it might just hide it so Nintendo doesn't have to deal with gays.
yes i report every homosexual shit i see
ought to spare the kids playing this the deprivity
First time playing a splatoon game, i'm having a lot of fun with the sp, (no mp, using a hacked switch)
The game runs suprisingly well.
They all have. It's funny. Back during the Wii U days when Splatoon was new. Everyone kept shitposting about games failing to meet the 60fps standard. With so many games on the PS4 promising to meet said standard but failing to meet it. Only to have people mock the Wii U for supposedly being even worse at it.
The logic presumably being that the hardware is weaker, which is objectively true and obvious to anyone. But the Wii U had some of the best 60fps track record on the market. Because the Wii U games were actually optimized and built to match the hardware. And not just built for pretty screenshots not seen in motion.
The new square lags incredibly bad for me, but all the actual gameplay segments run very well.
this man is your FRIEND
he fights for FUREEDOM
How did that man not shit himself. I don't care if they raised the bear from a cub, an animal's an animal.
the weak fear the strong
They think they're safe and because they raised them the animal won't maul them if a neuron misfires in their non-domesticated brain.
That's what the woman with the pet chimp thought before it mauled her friend's face and ripped her face off, or the guy who was excited about getting a PS4 and his cat mauled him.
Cat was a hero and knew what it was doing though.
God fricking hell after alterna
I wasn't prepared
I can't even consistently get past that bit where you transfer from one moving column to another now, I somehow slip off. If I get past there I normally fricking just fall off the bit with the ink lines because it's really hard to judge how far you need to jump to reach the next one.
I got as far as the conveyor belt of random blocks, I almost reached the platform with the jumppad on it then fricking ate shit into the water
I'm guessing I'm not even half way done
Part 1: Platforming
Part 2: Targets on rails
Part 3: Ink striped boxes with missiles every 5 goddamn seconds
Part 4: Octoling battles in 3 waves (final one has at least 10 Octolings and they constantly use specials and subs)
Each part has a checkpoint, at least.
4 stages, Jesus - at least there are other checkpoints. I was seriously concerned if it was any longer that I was eventually going to burn through my stockpile of like 26k eggs.
>hold B
You mean like hold jump like I'm going to do a squid surge? My only issue with that is that it slows you right down so I worry I'll not make the transfer between columns, but I'll give it a go.
Thanks for the advice on the fat balls on the ink lines, I'll try that.
>You mean like hold jump like I'm going to do a squid surge?
yes that essentially stops sliding down just release ZL when there's time to fall
You get a Mr. Grizz badge, bear ear headband, and Grizz's backstory in the log section for beating it. If you don't care about any of that, you could just skip it.
Lore and cosmetics are super important for me so I must do it.
Damn it, I wanted the ear band but I lack the skills to be able to complete that stage once I get to it. Oh well. Never got the golden toothpick from Octo Expansion either.
It took me about 3 days to get to the Octoling section and another 2 to finally beat it. Just keep trying.
>Part 4: Octoling battles in 3 waves (final one has at least 10 Octolings and they constantly use specials and subs)
Now that it's been a couple of days since I've beaten it and I've restored some of my self confidence I can admit it.
This part was fricking hell and I had to try it a billion times. Holy frick it was so frustrating, the first two waves are manageable but the last wave was an absolute nightmare.
you have a fricking infinite special just run around charging it then splashdown anything too stupid to be near, while octos do in fact try to shoot you down they are no X players and will fail most of the time
I just told you I've beaten it. Also I found abusing the salmon buddy a better strategy, it kills octolings very quickly and even if you miss it acts as a decoy. Almost every time I used the special they killed me in midair.
spamming splashdown doesnt work because whenever I tried to splashdown they just did it at the same time so it did nothing
>I'm guessing I'm not even half way done
Just like, don't fall lmao
Once you get past the conveyor belt of blocks you get your first checkpoint, and for what it's worth I found that first area to be the hardest.
>I somehow slip off
hold b idiotman
>fall off the bit with the ink lines
jump to fat ball on the first three rest are irrelevant and easy
>I got as far as the conveyor belt of random blocks
you can ink them preemptively
>not even half way done
there are 4 stages and 2 is even worse
>2 is even worse
You think so? I'm terrible at rail shooting levels and I still felt like each section went from hardest to easiest. That one part where you had to zigzag across the 3 rails to shoot balloons on each side was hands down the most rage inducing part of part 2 tho
Not only it has that fricking zigzag where you have dick all time to shoot stuff it also has the final fall where you have even less time to hit stuff and can't even bomb it. Frick this bullshit and frick rail levels
bit with the ink lines because it's really hard to judge how far you need to jump
This was the hardest part of the level. They give you a single line that makes it really hard to judge depth to force you to turn the camera so you can’t see the enemies shooting at you. Jumping off the ink lines also feels different than any other jump in the game and this is the first time in any of they three games that required any level of precision. The whole first part of the level just felt like a series of gimmicky traps to kill and force you to retread the long otherwise easy level with no check points.
HOLY BASED, I'll start doing so

Daily reminder
Also I really do hate ranked, still salty about losing 2 promotion exams last night. Think if I ever do get to A I'll never touch that shit again and become a grizzco family man for life.

the existence of lesbos isn't sexually explicit are you high? Do you think Snow White is too sexually explicit because it portrayed the existence of heterosexual attraction?
well yes, they can't handle seeing a word. it doesn't take much.
Getting trannies kicked out isn't censorship. It's getting rid of the pox that's plaguing the internet.
Keeping sexually explicit content out of a kids game is a good thing, yes.

Honestly doesn't belong in the game either, there's plenty of other platforms for that shit.

Tips for Salmon Run? Do I just shoot fish with abandon?
Some bosses like scrappers, maws and sometimes steel eels are fine to leave alive so you can draw them close to the basket, or even so meaner bosses don't spawn in their place.
Others, like fly fish and stingers, need to die so fast it doesn't even matter if you get their eggs afterwards.
Once you have the eggs to pass the wave, more eggs are not worth risking your life for.
Flyfish are a nightmare. They're the ones that fly with two boxes at their sides and you need to throw a bomb in each of them while they're open. Kill them as soon as you can.
The UFO-type enemies will come crashing down if you enter their green teleportation field, you can do it to bait them and jump on the saucer to kill them easily.
If you have a paintbrush or a roller, prioritize inking the ground for your teammates rather than killing enemies.
As soon as each wave starts and at the end when the timer has run out focus on inking as much ground as possible. Make sure to paint a bit of the walls as well, they're invaluable escape points.
Always remember you have a special. You can only use it two times, make them count.
Certain stages have cannons you can board by swimming into them. They use up your ink, so whenever you aren't shooting get out and recharge.
Stop lewding my daughter.

Why do I have to sweat my balls off if I want to play turf war, I thought this was the casual mode
This shit is worse than ranked and I'm in A+, I just want to test out new weapons
This is the only place I can get a sick holo sticker for my locker and I'll be DAMNED if your scrub ass FRICKS IT UP take your new weapon to ranked you fricking shitter
This.
Ranked mode = babby time
Turf War = hardened warriors
No.
Carry me harder while I study the blade if you want to win your precious turf wars shitter
This is how Turf War has been since the first game because it has no real matchmaking in it
Is it me, or does this Salmon Run selection suck camel penorz?
Next 2 are gonna be pretty decent.

THE MASK SLIPS. Get your ass back to Twitter.
Imagine getting so upset about a simple, single word.
Believe it or not, but y'all was a common word in the southern states long before it got adopted online by those kinds of people
t. grew up in KY
I've lived in the south my entire life. I just know that 99% of people using it online are Twittergays who use it to sound condescending.
How do I even expand out from the Explosher? I got "my" weapon right on the first try and I don't know where to go from here.
I don't know what this means. What exactly are you asking?
What are weapons like the Explosher but different
There aren't any.
blasters
I tried it they suck can't turf
Sell me on the Tri Stinger
It sucks
Also ass is good
damn. Hydra Splatling it is
What if she slobbered on your wiener and paralyzed you?
It would be extremely painful.
It would be extremely pleasant.
The alternate version inks turf like crazy via uncharged shots.
That.s pretty much all I can say about the weapon type.
you can really ruin the day of the gays who like to hide, inks great, otherwise basically a bamboo
people need to learn to tunnel vision the sniper and flyfish in salmon run they're the ones killing you 90% of the time
They're also way in the back behind a shitload of front line bosses and mobs. Going in without a plan is asking to die.
I was considering buying this to play multiplayer on my normal switch, but i keep hearing about connection problems. Is it really that bad? Not shelling out 50 bucks+tip(online fee) if it doesn't fricking function properly.
What are the negatives of making my Splatfest area as Japan? I want the good plaza art.
Probably lag in battles.
Plus Japanese players are literally machines, literally charger machines and enjoying it.
Enjoy getting sniped every .6 seconds.
you're still matched with nearby players so lag won't be an issue (outside of splatfests at least). Go for it
since the cart build was apparently built in april/may, and singleplayer was already finished in it, I'm assuming the DLC campaign started development in june and is probably going to release in summer 2023
FRICK YOUR REEFSLIDER AND PUSH ATTEMPT
Nintendo absolutely does ban the gay and troony shit, make sure you report it.
After Alterna still wasn't hard enough
how difficult is it relative to Octo expansion
It's a long level with few checkpoints so nothing in octo expansion is really comparable to it. It never gets anywhere near as hard as inner agent 3 though. The last section of the level is a similar scenario to girl power station and is a little harder imo since the octos aren't all spawning in from the same direction and the map is smaller.
>and is a little harder imo
Didn't girl power have you defend something from being inked, or was that a different level? In this level you just have to defeat the octarians, and you can always disengage and reorient yourself if things get hairy.
It's long and has several different sections focusing on different game mechanics. That second part is the important one. If you're shit at one of the mechanics it could take a while. I'm bad at the rail levels so it was pretty hard for me.
Yeah, I'd say OE leaned a little more heavily into combat for the hard parts, so if that's your strong suit you might have a harder time with after alterna than inner agent 3, just because of the platforming/rail shooting
Middling, harder than average OE level but not as bullshit as girl power or the shitty car levels
Relative to a normal OE level much more difficult simply because of the lack of checkpoints in the first stage, but relative to OE's secret boss, a good bit lower
I don't really remember the levels of cbt the golden toothpick was but I do remember never wanting to do it again
it's gonna be topped in the off the hook dlc isn't it
The final stage in 3's story makes OE's Agent 3 fight look like a fricking tutorial.
The Off the Hook DLC is going to have Agent 8 as a boss.
What do I even get from Salmon Run if I only do multiplayer?
Money, food tickets, the current Grizz gear (right now it's a hat,) special banners and locker decor, and I think titles. Not sure.
Cash, chunks, gear, food tickets, cosmetics.
I got this hoodie from another player and I want to put another ink recovery up on it. Will it cost less chunks to put it on the question mark now rather than replacing whatever sub I do get on it later with the chunks? or is it the same price always
Same price.
Do tell.
It's not much to tell, just lots of artwork of people saying they can't afford splat3, waiting for Christmas sales, or repping their current team in the splatfest
Same price so just level it up and see what it gives you.
I did that before in S2 by buying a pair of contact lenses with a main ability and two subs of Special Charge up and the third one turned into it as well after leveling it.
Also I fricking miss my S2 outfits and their completed abilities, wish this game let you move over one piece of each clothing via amiibo.
I had a giggle logging into splat 2 to play OE for the first time and seeing all the poorgay cope in the square
Wasn't it like $10-20? Why people can't afford that?
Anon most of the fanbase is little kids totally dependent on their parents to buy them anything. I'm almost 30 so I can't even imagine how the conversation would go asking my mom for another $20 on top of the $60 she just spent so I could have the "entire" game.
>I'm almost 30 so I can't even imagine how the conversation would go asking my mom for another $20 on top of the $60 she just spent so I could have the "entire" game.
"Anon, you're almost thirty years old. Shouldn't you be thinking about trying to get a job? It would really help being able to cover expenses, and you could get your game too!"
Sorry, I know what you meant but I still had to
>Anon most of the fanbase is little kids totally dependent on their parents to buy them anything.
What, zoomers can't just beg or save pocket money? The "just spent" is not even an argument OE was like 2 if not 3 years later
>Anon most of the fanbase is little kids
pretty sure that's false
kids are far from being the dominant demographic on switch, stop confusing Ganker shitposting with reality
For this game they clearly are.
you wouldn't have pulled that straight out of your ruined butthole by any chance
Not that anon, but I’m pretty sure he meant that people in Splatoon 2 are complaining about not being able to afford 3, not the OE
Yeah that's what I meant
The girls in this game are much more attractive than the gta 6 girl..
Sorry, too busy murking homies in the CoD beta.
When the frick is Salmon Run getting new gear? It's been the same fricking hat since launch.
Every month.
It's monthly
If it's like Splatoon 2, every month
2 had old gear in the rotation as well, right?
periodically
it run the same list of gear on repeat so you skip something have fun waiting months lololol

You DO use food that gives your entire team Money/XP, right? Treat your randoms well.
I get stuck with mouth breathers every time so no.
Waiting till Splatfest and hope I don't get screwed over again.
Food determines the people you're matched with?
I've won so many turf battles because the other team neglected to ink their own base
>Latest was some shit about Team Autism and Team ADHD with the new Shiver/Frye
Are you sure that it was the same person? There's a lot of people who seem to just rip shit off twitter and put in their cephs. I see identical shit from different people pretty frequently.

Warms my heart when the bad guys finally lose one
how are we holding up funchads
id be playing right now but im not really in the mood for it
People complain about flyfish being annoying but steelheads are infinitely worse if they're not taken care of
Steelheads die so much easier, especially with the right weapon, and have much less range. Flyfish are on a completely different level.
If you look up you can see the holo-projector.
The computerized-looking versions of others in the lobby sitting around are 2D. I didn't know this and now it looks weird.
How could you not tell they were 2D? That's the first thing everyone noticed about them
Yeah I like it. It reminds me of boomer shooters.
I really wish they didn't make the lobby so fricking unnecessarily huge. There was no point in it as 90 percent of the place has no purpose and you you're just going to use the menu to warp to the stores/lobby anyway (but you can't warp to the card table which is stupid).
Yet despite it's gigantic size they couldn't be bothered to place a Squid Beatz machine.
As far as the plaza goes I'm sure it's part of the chaos themed design but also kinda hoping it's to leave themselves some room to add more shit
I hope so. The test fire already showed that Splastfests suffered for it as there's no central stage and the three members just ride around on separate floating platforms.
>no central stage
There is after half-time tbh
Ah, didn't play it much after the second half as I had things to do that evening and tricolor matches were pissing me off.
I'm gonna be honest, I fricking love that it's bigger and I wish it were bigger yet.
If it were up to me it would have an entire extra layer of streets with nothing important in them just so you'd never have to see the edges while going about your business.
but your squid/octo/kid walks so fricking slow. If you could at least ink and swim for speed I wouldn't mind it being so uselessly big.
You can teleport if you don't want to soak in the ambience and look at all the neat drawings.
I like it, random alleyways and staircases to nowhere are my kind of aesthetic and I bet it will look really good during splatfests
I spent 7k for a figurine for my locker and I need money to improve my gears now.
BASED NINTENDO
tbh the hero system is killing me. Wanting everyone to get skills for flexibility + increasing the cap to lvl 20 really took the wind out of my sales. I feel like chapter 5 is taking longer than the last 3 combined.
So far out of the ranked modes I think Tower Control and Clam Blitz is fun. So far I have not had fun on Splat Zones or Rainmaker because I’ve found them to be shitty spam fests and it’s hard to operate around this play style. I generally like to use the Gal .52, the Nzap or Reeflux. What can I try to make those modes more fun?
For splat zone try "disruptive" kits to frick with people. Stuff like the Splattershot Jr so you can throw out the beacon special in the middle of the zone to inconvenience the other team.
Really Clam Blitz? Are you teaming with friends?
Not that anon but so far Clan Blitz is the only ranked mode I’ve had fun with and I’m playing with randoms.
>gal
you might need to use your wall a little more offensively to shut down some bomb spam, and if that doesn't work you can try to bait people into a 1v1 and trap them with wall. 52 kills really fast but has terrible accuracy, so the idea is to close in on someone so your shots won't miss. to do that you have to be pretty sneaky in zones. haven't used killer whale too much but it seems to play itself
nzap has a bomb, a support special, and all the info in the world, idk what more you could want, just play safer and go in with your team.
I like Rainmaker because when the cosmos align and you just go ahead and pull off some crazy maneuver is just awesome.
How come Ganker isn’t playing Splatoon 3 together?
Because you are all shitters.
and I'm a shitter.
Hey hey hey
Lucky bastard! What’s the odds of rolling this anyway?

I keep getting this urge to completely cover my locker in holographic stickers, but I imagine it'd be a b***h to do.
Finally got to Tableturf rank 30
Did you just spam Baby Jelly?
I did it legitimately until 26 with the player battles. After that, I started spamming Baby Jelly until 28 when I just started to just pass on every round to get the guaranteed 40 points as fast as possible.
No, because I burnt myself out, despite enjoying the game mode.
>No, because I burnt myself out, despite enjoying the game mode.
You don't have a reason to keep playing it now anyway, right?
I'm interested in playing against other people, but it'll be a while before I touch it again.
Was it worth it? I gave up at 25
Do any opponents give you more than 130 points?
its not a very rewarding mode when the AI cheats and you barely get any EXP
>Do any opponents give you more than 130 points?
Yes, some of them are 150, but will almost always optimize the shit out of you so any wins you get against them are 90% luck.
Different anon but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say defending if he said it pissed him off, kek
Defending of course. I'm sure attackers were having field days getting all the free wins.
Roll the fricking smallfry for us instead of deepsing the Griller, for frick's sake.
It defaults to splashdown, if you get a tin can you get one use of a different special after which you go back to splashdown.

You should have to choose an age group when you start playing video games so you don't get paired against moronic children.
This is the mindset of those who play with randos and no communication. Basically "I bet nobody is going to take care of this so I will have to, even with this shit weapon."
If you play with randoms you're willingly signing up for your only communication options to be "this way!" and "help!" If you want the team to win it helps to be mindful of what your particular weapon is best at, and in a perfect world everyone would be doing the same
>Beating Marie 30 times for card sleeves

People who end wave 3 without having used their special twice should be permabanned from Eggsecutive VP.
ugh why is it twice
i always don't know when to use the second one so i end up not using it

Which is why you do not belong in Eggsecutive VP.
i don't want to be in your discord server dude

And use it earlier in the round BEFORE we get into deep shit.
I've played Splatoon since Splatoon 1. And I have never before cared nor realized, but does Splatoon genuinely not have any sound options?
Yeah it's kind of frustrating.
Because Nintendo fricking sucks. After 100s of hours of playtime I would love nothing more than to turn the music off and replace it with my own. Frick them.
Anyone else start getting a ton of communication errors in the last like 5 minutes? Every single time in the lobby once it gets to 47 seconds I get a communication error.
If I touch the controller I get an error, it's rather annoying.
WILDCARD ROTATION WHEN
I WANT TO GENOCIDE SALMON WITH THE BOSS' WEAPONS WHILE FRANTIC AHispanic PLAYS
We didn't get our first Wild Card rotation in Splatoon 2 for two months.
They might hold them back to Season 2 at that point.
Heads up, you can change the Splatfest Tee's main ability for 6 ability chunks. I changed mine to swim speed up.
why would you waste 6 chunks on temporary gear...
Cause ability doubler sucks and people are gonna be tryharding by running ninja squid or stuff like ink saver which is always good on any weapon
>and people are gonna be tryharding by running ninja squid
You can't put ninja squid on the splatfest tee at all
It's only 6 chunks and you're going to be earning more scrubbing your shirt anyway.
>It's only 6 chunks
i have a job i can't grind all day
6 chunks is a lot
Not if you win 10 of each chunk from gacha
it's really not when you consider it takes 45 chunks to replace a main ability
because ability doubler is trash and the whole purpose is to scrub the shirt which means it literally does nothing when its empty
Does it give you a double ability chunk?
you are supposed to farming chunks with it not wasting them
>no respawn punisher chunks
don't care
>he doesn't know
What? Is it possible to put it on there?
Instead of respawn punisher chunks, you just have to pay with other ability chunks. 2 of each x3
Another Salmon Run leak, either we're going to get to save replays, share Shift RNG seeds or... make our own waves?

>Oops all Flyfish, Stinger and Big Shot high tide waves

Tired of this bullshit, go away.
Man I wish there was a splattershot that didn't have a trash special
I think the more I play the worse I perform
Probably a symptom of the forced 50% win rate matchmaking deciding it's time for you to face better players.
I can't stop wining even when I decide to just go easy and smoke while playing. I'm worried.
Expect a frustrating losing streak in your future. The matchmaker is coming for you.
I love this gun. Outranges 95% of weapons and you can hit 'em with the Angle Shooter so your teammates can finish 'em off if they swim away.
FRICKHEAD
GETTIN YOUR JOLLIES?
CHICKENSHIT
how the FRICK do you use this
you don't
You switch to a better weapon instead.
like an n'zapper that has an optional charge for longer range
from what i see of other splatana users just spam the charge attack exclusively
vertical shots and strafe constantly, it's the fastest strafing weapon in the game
also roll your torpedo, you can combo the explosion with a charged shot
>completely forgot NMH3 existed
wonder why no one ever talks about that
Anyone who cared beat it like half a year back and it's apparently not very good
Eh, its a good game there's just not much to talk about. It's a one and done singleplayer game you know?
It's not like there's lore or a metagame.
casual no more hereos fans didn't like it because of the lack of levels, awful open world, repetitive combat arenas and abysmal visuals and performance
suda51 fans didn't like it because the writing was weak, there were almost no connections to past ktp titles outside of a few cameos, and certain characters henry were took in a strange direction which loops back to the weak writing
The order you appear in the victory screen is determined how good your play was right?

I just wanna say this is my first splatoon game and it makes me very happy. I've been arguing a lot with my girlfriend recently and the happy music and addictive tight gameplay is cheering me up
Have fun. And be careful: do NOT get addicted to this track

Can't believe how insanely good Japan is when making bosses. Elden ring, mgr, Splatoon, bayo... We don't have any cool shit like that coming from westernoids.
I'm convinced they quit trying to make these into gibberish and just made them Japanese with filters.
>It'll sell anyway, frick round-eye. Glorious homeland.
It makes no fricking sense that food tickets and card packs cannot be bought
I think it would be disappointing if they didn't add a third playable race in a hypothetical DLC, but at the same time they'd have to introduce them out of nowhere and I don't see it happening.
I'm surprised we didn't get furry 'hair' as an option after beating 1P mode.
They redesigned Octolings (and invented male ones) for Splatoon 2's DLC unlock. They could do it again, although I don't expect them to (Salmonlings don't really make sense and what else would fit with Inklings and Octolings?).
>Salmonlings
This is a weird one because the regular salmonids already kind of are salmonlings, because they're the "evolved" equivalent of salmon in their world. They just don't look humanoid so people don't realize that
Maybe cuttlefish, but there's barely any instance of them showing up in the lore beyond this one piece of background art in Octo Expansion.
what exactly can i do with reefslider if i can't just swim away

What should I even be trying to build with these chunnks? Heavy Splatling main.

Lots of people are still learning the game, its only just come out. Give it another month
Things will even out by then, it's just extra chaotic right now because the pros from 2 and the entirely new players are still in the same starting ranking pool.
Things will settle soon enough.
How are you guys getting boss salmonid stickers? Do you get one after you beat a certain boss enough times?

I swear to fricking god theres a gremlin in the matchmaking system out to get me.
if you're the only competent person on your team you literally cannot win unless the other team is equally incompetent
That's the whole idea, right? If everyone in the match except you is below your level, clearly you deserve to rank up.
yeah but sometimes you're better than everyone in the match but the enemy team actually has more than two braincells combined and coordinate while the rest of your team jack off in a corner or whatever they do while you try to fight 1v4
Sounds like a skill issue
not really when you end up with 20 something kills and 3 deaths but still lose, meanwhile your teammate in second place has 6 kills and 17 deaths
I used to think I was complete shit at the game, but the awards are telling me I'm just paired up with people who think it's deathmatch.
Thanks to the new Rank system you're rewarded for treating it like TDM since Gold Medals give you points and help mitigate losses.
Why? When it levels up you get a new chunk.
Beats me, the last games I played were before the shift change. Funny, the first two days I was sort of bemoaning about how much longer the changes feel. But when you're busy as hell, you barely notice. Octo daughter best daughter.
>Octo daughter best daughter
get a trip already you post-signing, avatar-using moron
You know he's continuing because it makes you seethe, right?
he's continuing because he's clinically moronic
I like the replay function, now instead of being upset that the rainmaker ended up further away despite all the fighting we were doing to clear a path, I realize now that a well placed curling bomb had forced them to retreat.
How do you stop your gear from leveling up?
>tower control
>pick sloshing machine
>spam fizzy bombs and shots at the tower
>throw a booyah bomb at the tower as soon as an enemy even steps near it
>win every match
it's really that easy guys
For fricks sakes this is the best level with the best weapon sets we've had in ages
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SHITTERS IN EGGSECUTIVE VP
>best weapon sets
lol
lmao even
Yes? Inkbrush is the only weapon that's not easily A-tier in this rotation, and at least it paints and a lot and can get you out of a jam with the sprint.
gal is literally the only good weapon in this rotation don't kid yourself
the 52 gal is the worst, you're fricking mental
imagine having actual brain damage to think 2 shitty weapons and a pvp centered weapon in pve are better than an overall best weapoin in entire series
Eh, Squiffer is a far cry from the E-litre but it does the job.
Understandable if he has the Hydra.
>he can't partial charge
>he thinks he has enough time to kill with partial charges when you've got 6 Smallfry on both sides of you
>on both sides of you
(You) problem for not being able to swim away so they end in a line
if too much smallfry is there just drop a bomb and swim away
Is there any feeling more satisfying than seeing that your beakons are being consistently used to help apply continual aggressive pressure and ultimately victory?
Especially given how often they're usually ignored.
I wouldn't know, anon.
homies never use the map for some reason
It's both a blessing and a curse because it means I can put a beakon right under the other team's nose and they'll never frickin figure it out
There's never time to pull out the map. I only look at it when I die so I can super jump
Even two games later I do still miss being able to use quick glances at the gamepad to notice when someone is trying to approach my sniper nest to get the drop on me and instead I get the drop on them
I look at the map more in 2 and 3 than in 1
I'm not moving my face away from the screen to look at the map
Lurk more
Fricking moron
