What helped me was realising that I should jump even if I hit the normal fists because there's still a chance it'll hurt you anyway which I don't get but whatever

:yeah:

I just got the Tri-Slosher and it is very much my jam! I wanna try it out in ranked. In the last game they specifically buffed the damage sloshers do to the Rainmaker shield. If that buff still applies, seems like the Tri-Slosher would be decent there? I've been using the Splat Roller so far and doing... OK.

I have yet to try Splat Zones at all. I used to clown people an awful lot with a roller in Splat Zones.

Yeah it's hosed up though hitting the fist slows it down so you have to delay your jump a long time. It helps if you shoot it sooner so it can't reach you.

Okay so what is the deal with the Baller? It seems to be a total crapshoot on whether or not it kills people. Is it just really short range?

Tri-Slosher is amazing in general and I've been getting a lot of results with it in ranked. The Ink Armor nerf definitely hurt it a bit since it's not exactly the greatest at building special. Though it's apparently a weapon that a disproportionate amount of pro players use, so it might see another nerf later.

Really the only thing that sucks about it is that its sub is the Burst Bombs. They have a bit more range, than the Slosher itself, and that's about it.

It just has a short range. You just want to be close as possible to your enemies as possible when it blows up.

Ah yes I'm sure people would be overjoyed to find out that a previously always-available game mode is now time locked. Great idea.

The two most common non-paintable surfaces the game uses are plastic tarps and glass. Catwalks are also non-paintable regardless of material. Pretty much everything else you can go ham on.

Holy poo poo they let me out of C- rank. I might not be complete poo poo at a video game. I don't know how to process this it's never happened before.

did some ranked the past few days, at least enough to get out of C-

tower control i did alright. had some knockouts, got knocked out, some close wins and some close losses. jumped from C- to C+, not shabby. i'm a little rusty overall and will always feel naked until i get a dual squelcher.

splat zones (or how i learned to stop worrying and love the splashdown) i fuckin dominated. lost a couple sure but overall i crushed it. jumped from C- to B- hell yeah. love that splattershot.

did rainmaker today and want to die. it's something i didn't like playing solo in splatoon 1 and it seems it's still the same here. it's so inconsistent, some people just don't grasp what to do with the rainmaker. i only saw one person try to run i backwards but outside of that most people tried to use it as a super weapon, kept trying to lead the way, or just kept trying to swim it up the path of most resistance. lot of people using aero sprays on moray towers for some reason! only went from C- to C. :sigh:

ranked is fun! i like the changes to tower control. splat zones is probably my favorite at the moment. i might try to get rainmaker up into the Bs and then just never touch it again

There's also the weird circley-metal thing they use frequently in single player, and some spots where it's a plastic panel bolted over something. There's always a tell though, I've only been surprised by things not being inkable two or three times across both single player campaigns and all the multiplayer maps, and once I figured out what it was I was able to see that thing and know it's uninkable in the future.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
I'm on a level in the single player and I'm completely stuck. I'm dumbfounded as to how Nintendo expects me to do this. I must be missing something?

I'm in the middle of the level so I can't even check which level it is, great design. But seriously... I'm a smart man who beat all of splatoon 1 without issue, and yet I'm completely roadblocked here with no idea what to do.

There's a scrubber and one of those spinny things you can shoot to lower a platform, but its too far away to shoot without going over to it and then I'm on the platform when it goes down and I can't get on top of the scrubber. What the hell.

Its either the last or second to last level of world 4.

E: lol just figured it out as I post this :doh:

Here's hoping they DLC in many of the old battle themes from splatoon 1 to the stage play rotation in the future. I miss ABXY.

A lot of the old battle themes are actually in the game's code already, including the one you just linked. You can unlock them only to play in the music mini game from amiibo. I hope they patch them in to play during battle as well.

I also hope they bring back a lot of the old stages. I really miss Urchin Underpass, Walleye Warehouse and Saltspray Rig. Saltspray Rig would work perfectly for Salmon Run.
