Man I don't think I'm going to make Ice Cream Queen and I entirely blame how long matchmaking is taking.

i'm gonna blame matchmaking making GBS threads the bed over the last half hour or so. i can only carry so much!

Is there a way to change weapons in the middle of a match? Or even between matches if I pick "Continue?"

And can I not back out during the searching for a game

You can change your equipment between matches if and only if you are queuing with a team. Otherwise you gotta back out to the plaza.

If you lose and didn't come in first in splats and turf inked you have failed your team, otherwise yeah.

39 left to hit King. If matchmaking doesn't screw me over and I can win at least 6 in the next 55 minutes, I can make it.

I'm digging Splatoon 2 way more than the first one so far. The controls are way better once you've found your settings. I feel like I'm way more in control.

I have tried and tried and tried and I can't get this to work. Is there a goon Splatoon server, and how do I join?

The new roller is cool and good and my friend, and I love Humback Pump Track like my own son.

Missed half of the Splatfest due to stuff. Got to penultimate rank in an hour long winning streak though, so that was fun.

Wish the netcode was a bit better; but the game is still a ton of fun. I'm happy they gave the Ink Jet to the Splattershot, but the hitbox feels wonky at times. I remember hitting a sniper so many times that the area around him was covered in my teams ink, and he still survived. Still, it's better than having the auto win inkzooka in the game.

God I missed this game

I definitely need to practice with the ink jet more, though. I never feel like I can use it effectively

Are they better than the test fire a little while ago? Stick aiming felt terrible and gyro only worked for vertical aiming (or horizontal, I forget which).

Not getting up to Ice Cream King since I'm lame and took a break. I think this game will keep my attention even more than the first one with all the unlockables, customization and salmon run.

Made Ice Cream Queen so now I can stop and eat some dinner.

And ice cream.

(It's birthday cake flavored as a peace offering for when we kick Cake's rear end.)

Shaped like a friend

I got burned out like a hour ago but was halfway to king

I expect Cake to win for the sole reason I fought like 4 teams total and only won 1 due to messing with weapons I'm bad with (roller and splatterscope). Jetpack still sucks rear end and feels like it's impossible to kill anyone with. I don't get it at all and can't wait to get the missiles on the splattershot so I can forget that trash exists.

Also I thought Stingray is supposed to let you see people through walls? That thing is still utterly hot garbage.

The jetpack seems to want a direct hit to splat someone. I mostly used it to ink stuff, but if someone sees me up there I'm gone. Even the roller guys had an easy time hitting me with their jump attack
