What's a queue time?

If you have an equipment loadout that has 2 Main Ink Savers (Sub) and 1 sub version, you can throw 3 Burst Bombs at once instead of 2. It's absolutely disgusting. :getin:


Yeah, it's noticeably longer than the sub-S rank queue times.

I was wondering how people were doing that!

Tenta missiles are easy to avoid when you're the only one targeted but when multiple people get tagged it quickly becomes way more difficult.

I've come around to liking The Reef after playing Ranked in it; putting the objective under the bridge changes how you approach the map in a cool way.

That being said I have no idea how to consistently win in Splat Zones without coordination in pub queue. Seems like the only way to win is by controlling the bridge then flanking anybody trying to cap, but pubbies are super unreliable in terms of holding the line.

With Tenta Missiles you also need to be mindful of where your teammates are, running into them will get them killed. In Splat Zones you have to be careful to not allow the missiles to hit the zone otherwise you're giving the enemy team free coverage.

Had a Splat Zones game this morning where we were down 0-96 at The Reef but we won on a knockout with like 2 seconds left. Used ink armor with a couple secs to go with me and a teammate furiously splashing the zone, bought us enough time to seal it.

My only regret is when you have a thrilling last-second victory, you might not have time to Booyah! without risking the momentum.

If you don't spam the gently caress out of Booyah! after a Salmon Run win then sell your Switch immediately and get cooked.

I like to Booyah right before a rainmaker dunk but in the higher ranks you have a chance of getting killed and the other team turning the game around :(

Looks like today's Salmon Run has three automatics and a Splatling gun of some sort... As someone who is totally incompetent with brushes / rollers that is pretty good news. But Steelheads are going to be a bitch with no chargers.

Speaking of Steelheads, this article was a month before the game came out. Coincidence? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/oregon/articles/2017-06-19/oregon-rivers-see-historically-low-counts-of-steelhead-fish

Of course the counts are low, most have migrated to the Inkopolis coasts.

Edit for below: Yeah now that you mention it, Splatling Gun should do the trick on them.

Woo I just reached A- in Splat Zones! I think that's the first time I've hit A-anything in Ranked.

I had a badass moment in the last match. I came up the side of the Zone and Splatted 3 dudes right in a row! One of my teammates saw and gave me a Booyah. :3:

The range of both sets of buckets got buffed without any real consideration otherwise. Since it needs to still be a 2 splat weapon to be in line with most everything else I'd predict a drop in fire rate.

I think the regular Slosher's pretty fine as-is, because you still need to aim to use it well. The Tri-Slosher is just an inescapable wall of death for anything in front of you.

The only nerf it got, as far as I know, is taking slightly longer to charge its special. Otherwise I haven't noticed any difference.

Inaccurate. If there are 4 squids aiming at the boss then at most 2 will go in one side and the other 2 will bounce off.

This is why you wait a second to see where your team member throws their grenade, then whiff yours anyways and feel like a massive fool.

If you're at a full tank and have the room 1 person can take them out alone, but the time window is pretty tight. Gotta dunk soon as you throw and get the other off soon as the line is hit on your gauge with maybe a couple seconds to spare.

A habit I developed chucking sticky bombs onto towers :v:

I mained inkbrush in splatoon 1 but the basic octobrush has a really versatile set.

I'd say one chunk because it takes way more to earn the second chunk.

Salmon Run August exclusive gear is a mining helmet. It looks fresher than the dorky pocket protector shirt but that's not a high bar to clear

Oh is scrubbing a different price if you have a different number of subs? I never even tried to scrub a non-full item

It's the same price regardless, but 2000 coins is so cheap that it's worth the cost even if your shirt isn't up to 3 yet.

I think it's going to be a running gag that all the gear from GrizzCo is gonna look like junk. The shirt is like off white stained garbage and now it's some mining hat. Mr. Grizz is literally digging through a junk box/lost and found and calling it rare loot

Also by the time the splatfest tee has gained it's first sub slot you're probably going to have 2000 coins or more

When we don't have our splatfest shirts, I don't think it's going to be worth scrubbing less than full 3 slot items since it's 20k

I figured the Grizzco gear is intentionally unfresh. The gear abilities seem solid but it's like wearing your work uniform or brand out in public when you're off the clock.

Edit: So yeah basically what Dr. Voodoo said.

How does your score get calculated on rainmaker? I thought I had an amazing round and I had 21 kills with splattershot pro ( next nearest was 7) but I was the bottom player.... I feel I will be trapped in the C ranks eternally...

I had to switch from the splatling gun to the octobrush for ranked because constantly moving around works way better against lagged players.
