We don't know. They gave us more frequent runs for the three days after launch. Monday was the first day of a normal run density.

Salmon Run is exactly the length of match that it's engaging but not frustrating or overly long. Much better than something like L4D where you feel like you're stuck with idiots for up to 25 minutes.

Yeah, originally it was just the Squid Sisters album. When the big 2.0 update hit that added sloshers and miniguns and whatnot they introduced a whole new slew of bands and music.

This weekend seems pretty available but during this week it's only open on tuesday and thursday and only during US daytime. They really don't want Americans with dayshifts playing during the week I guess.

It's ok because inklings are only allowed to wear exercise leg wear. Yes I will not shut up I cannot put designer jeans or chinos on my squidkid in a game that heavily focuses on looking good

Using the brush as a weapon means showing up at an angle that the enemy doesn't expect because you can move at really good speeds in enemy ink. Add to that the fact that you're going to win a fight if you come within stabbing distance of your target. So, ideally you'll want to come at unsuspecting targets from the side or back without them knowing. you're pretty fragile though, and if they see you coming, you might want to change strategy. Fortunately, you are also the best at escaping harrowing situations since you can run on enemy ink if you have enough ink yourself. The key is knowing when you should live to splat another day and fall back. That said, if you get really good at zigzagging, you might be able to close in on your target and spat him anyway if he's spotted you but is alone.

Great.

What game modes are most suited to the brush, and what is the best way to paint vertically to wall climb?

In Salmon Run if you notice your team is dead and locked behind a wall of angry fish please do not try to revive them. If the quota has been met it's okay to bail if you survive the wave. Please

Please stop running into the 2 stingers and steelheads hiding behind the metal eel. Please just run. There's 10 seconds left. Stop.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

More annoyed that I will have to deal with people who ride that to profreshional being filtered out after a more standard loadout comes.

I'm loving this game and finally getting used to the motion controls a bit. I had an 8 kill turfwar with 1000p which our team won 51% to 43% and I felt really good about myself.

However, I'm reading through this thread and holy hell all of the splat lingo. Will I just eventually catch on? I know nothing of what you guys are saying and haven't even begun to freshen myself up gearwise. Just enjoying shooting ink so far. Should I play single player?

Single Player is a really good, lengthy tutorial since it forces you to use each weapon type and the game will teach you each of their quirks

As someone in your exact situation, I recommend it. I felt like it was a good tutorial for the basic mechanics and skills of the game as well as an intro to each weapon type. And it doesn't overstay its welcome. Each mission focuses on something new without much feeling of repeating already-mastered skills, and it's not very long. There's even some amount of charming amusement in the characters/story, if that does anything for you.

Hope I can grind out the super-rewards for this after work. Despite salmon run not being available all the time, I like it because it encourages me to play. I probably would've played like once and then focused on Turf otherwise

I would rather be able to play the game mode I want to play, when I want to play.

I think the idea behind limited availability is to tune how powerful the rewards are, as well as ensure that there are enough players queuing to fill groups as there are quite a few separate queues already (League, Ranked, Turf, Salmon). Maybe if they see it is popular and that the playerbase is big enough to support all the different queues well they will tweak the times to be more like this past weekend where they just cycle the weapons and refresh the rewards every few days.

They last 20 matches, whether that takes you two hours or two weeks.

And you're absolutely right. This game doesn't explain itself very well.

Tickets last 20 rounds, you're safe. You'll see the bonus counter in the same HUD element that keeps track of your money and snails.

There is a lot that this game doesn't tell you.

WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!


I never played the first one but I picked this up because it looks fun and good. I did some single player for an hour and the motion controls gave me a headache. I cannot wrap my head around not having stick movement for the Y axis. Why do they not allow that, with motion controls to fine-tune aim? It's extremely weird to me and allowing Y stick aiming would make it 100x better. I loved the motion controls in botw, why can't this be like that?

Anyways. I need to figure out controls more in single before I hop into multi but it seems fun so far!

How do I get the android app to work? Whenever I click the splatoon 2 thing in the switch app it just shows me an ad for the app, listing its features. No way to get into it that I see. And it doesn't seem to be a standalone play store app either. Am I just being dumb?

In high tide if you die dont distract your team with help cries unless things are calm. Theres such little room just hug a boss and your team will get you just by fighting.

Least thats what I do when I get splatted

just because she lost the splatfest doesn't mean people don't like her at all :smith:


She might be a little busy trying to remove that tattoo that DJ Octavio gave her. They at least gave her something, when you use any Bomb Rush in the game you can her solo Bomb Rush Blush play.
