Not to mention it's Wave 1.

Salmon Run is hilariously unbalanced for less then four people. Less eggs doesn't mean much if the amount of enemies are the same.

3 person is manageable with some luck, but 1 on the higher difficulties sucks. It really shouldn't penalize you if you get less then a max team.

Hopefully future patches will fix that, but they never came up with a decent buff for when people idle/drop from your teams in any other modes.

This is true in Miitomo as well. I posted a sidekick that still gets likes and comments to this day after the Sidekick plaza/showcase thing came out.

Yes I still check Miitomo. Why I'm not sure.

It would be nice, and in the meantime we should organize as much Salmon Run among those here.

I thought people could form teams and do Salmon Runs with friends any time.

Edit: Also I've been using the inkbrush and throwing a splat bomb behind an enemy usually causes them to rush towards you to get brushed in the face.

The bear has antennas coming out of it so he obviously just shoved a radio inside of it. I picture him as some fat crab.

Bears are probably demonic gods to the salmonids.

I rush the middle then turn left on the stage, walk over the grating and ink up to the top level and shoot down on opponents from the higher vantage point, plus you can rain ink deep into their territory. It's also a good place to jump down and ambush enemies from if you're using a short ranged weapon. There's a ton of climbable stuff in that map, check it out in recon mode, in fact do that with every map so you can spot some things you might be missing in the rush of splattle.

a neat way to better integrate the map this time around could be a toggle-able transparent layout on the corner of your screen sort of like mario kart or diablo

Thanks to the folks who posted different weapon gameplay advice earlier. It's fun to try the variety of weapons, even if it feels like Sisyphus trying to get good with them.

Salmon Run Protip: During the countdown for a wave, the UI shows you the tide level. If it is at the bottom of the screen, go to the beach and start laying down some freakin' ink. I don't know how many times I see people just run off in the other direction.

Where do you see the tide level in the UI for Salmon run? On Marooner's Bay unless I go back to check if the tide was rising or not I've waited until the 5 count to get the indicator of where the basket is and spammed "This Way" if I'm the only one header for it since like you said naturally everyone goes the other direction.

Look at the very bottom of the screen at the beginning of Salmon Run as the countdown is starting. The bottom of the screen will have a semi-transparent wave overlay that can go up and down. It'll tell you if the upcoming wave will be high, normal or low tide.

I'd grab a screen shot, but no one can play Salmon Run right now.

I'd imagine Salmon Run is only available a few times a week because of the rewards. The 600pt bonus is currently cash and pays out 32k. Not to mention along the way to get more cash, 3-star gear, and meal tickets. I don't think I was sitting with over 120k in the bank at the end of the second day in the first game. Local Salmon Run doesn't pay out rewards or let you level up. It's just "practice" or a for fun mode. Though it would be nice to be able to just throw together online practice matches with friends or something, letting you set the difficulty scale a la local.
