Oh, now I see it. I thought it was under other on the equipment screen. It's actually on the other menu screen, where you can quick select where to go.

Did splatoon 1 die early or did it stay alive for a long time? I never bought it, but Spla2n looks like a blast.

people are still playing splatoon 1

It stopped getting free updates and splatfests at the end of last year but its still drat good

The constant free updates kept the game very popular for a long, long time. Its not your typical multiplayer fizzle.

You are not one of us.
And if you're wondering, they've promised to support Splatoon 2 for twice as long as 1. Two years of Splatfests and one year of free content updates (new gear, weapons and maps, possibly new Ranked modes as well). Balance and bug fixing continued for Splatoon 1 up until the end of last year, so If expect the same with 2.

It's very Nintendo

I'm awake and ready to splat all day!!!!! Well from like 2pm onwards as I got invited to a mega early Dunkirk screening

When I first remembered this game was out after waking up my heart was filled with probably an embarrassing amount of excitement and joy :3:

Does Salmon Run give exp? I'm trying to decide how to spend my lunch break (assuming the online even works on the work network) and if SR gives exp then I'll definitely be doing that. Even if it doesn't I'll probably be doing that to be honest bur it's worth asking.

I love Salmon Run.

But I suck at the Charger, but I keep getting it in the last wave. I've been saving my special to cover for my lack of Charging ability.

For example, getting stuck in the last wave with a Charger when two people disconnected. It sucks.

So has it always been the case with splatoon that you can usually tell who's going to win a game after the first 15 seconds?

Yeah, I really don't like the Charger there. I feel like I can make more of an impact with the other weapons, but I'm not sure on what I can really do with the Charger. I guess snipe certain types of Boss Salmonids?

No, but I think getting the rewards from salmon run gives you the tickets to buy XP bonuses from crawdad dude who sells foods.

No its just day-1 and half the players played on WiiU and half the players have never played the game before

It'll even out after like a week tops, especially in ranked

Not really. Sometimes the matches make a total 180 degree turn at the very last minute.

The main trick behind it seems to be trying to line up shots of multiple Salmonids since a fully charged shot can pierce targets now, and other wise you're best at support, excluding the few Bosses that Chargers seem to be best at (unless a Splatling is available).

I say this as someone who completely gave up on Chargers in Splatoon 1, so???

Shaped like a friend

Honestly it's the last 30-40 seconds that'll decide a match and the rest kinda feels like fluff.

It's fun fluff but in turf wars if you get down 1-2 people in that amount of time there's no way to bounce back usually unless you pop off and kill the enemy team yourself. That being said not trying to sound like I'm complaining, just what I kind of expect if I see my team x'd out around that time.

What you need to keep in mind with Turf War in general is that it's all fun and games until it hits the last minute. Then things get serious :toughguy:.

Also I've been playing with my new Pro Controller and it is really comfortable. The Joycons are perfectly fine, but I have big hands so the Pro's bigass buttons and thumbsticks are just wonderful.

Another Salmon Run tip - Splat Bombs can both revive allies, and explode immediately if they hit an unconcious ally.

Throwing a bomb towards your dead team while two Grillers are chasing you can turn a round around.

Edit: I can't handle Overachiever as a Charger. I just cross my fingers I get it in the first round.

They extended support for it to an entire year since it was more successful than they ever imagined. The sequel should be supported for much longer than the first game.
