It got to a point where I had to stop using the Tri Slosher because it was giving me bad habits. If you aim up with the trislosher, you can get an absurd range and hitting people from that range doesn't reduce the damage at all.

Either a damage fall off or a range nerf is needed. The octobrush seems equally stupid with it's range given how wide it's hitbox is.

I think my octobrush is broken because I have to get right up in someone's face and then flail it around for about 5 seconds whilst hoping they don't move or shoot me before it kills them.

OTOH, enemies can just briefly flick theirs in my general direction and I'll die pretty much instantly. :v:

I think it does more damage if it's already dragging on the ground and you just crash into them, then add a couple slashes as needed. At least that's how rollers work. I rarely use either though so I'd wait for a second opinion.

In other news, splat bombs are the truth in Rainmaker.

This taught me something valuable about the slosher, which is that there's damage dropoff if you're above the target.

So what's the record for consecutive same maps in a single "rotation"? Currently I'm on my 13th Musselforge Splat Zone without a single Starfish.

Hunch forward in your chair and put your elbows on your knees and tilt the controller up or down when you wanna aim. Turning is a bit trickier, you can use wrist movements for small adjustments but if you wanna do a 180 you'd be better off using the R-stick. One thing that might be helpful with turning is that motion controls is rotational on the x plane (like you're turning a giant bus steering wheel) and NOT the y plane (like you're flipping a teeter totter). The problem with turning like this all the time though is that you're spinning your controller away from your TV screen.

Also play with the sensitivity (you can change it in the options menu and hop right back into the square and play around with it) and figure out what feels good to you.

Zelder posted:

The key is to use the stick for broad aiming while using the motion to be precise. Ideally, once you get it down, you should just be making subtle tilts, not waggling around.

Reminder that there's a Tri-Slosher set coming with the Splat Bombs and an Autobomb Launcher. :gonk:

For the time being, realize that quite a few other weapons outrange them (well, the Slosher itself. Burst Bombs are a different story), and it's actually better for you to be on the low ground in some cases. (Really helpful to keep in mind for Tower Control.) If they ambush you though, just hope their aim sucks.

I don't think anyone should be allowed to pretend to have discerning taste when discussing things they put on corndogs, battered polyps from satan's own rear end in a top hat.

Back in college I would heat up a little Cheez Whiz in a bowl, then add a little mustard on the side, and dip corndogs in them. I'd still eat a corndog to this day, but I don't think I've had Cheez Whiz in fifteen years. I don't plan to have any either.

Object shredder is loving baller at breaking the Rainmaker bubble. Not worth using in any other mode.

Speaking of, when you approach the main stage, if you turn left you go to Grizzco, if you turn right you go to a dead end. I suspect that that dead end will be used for SOMETHING that they're plotting. That's too much space to just leave dead.


Honestly, what I find odd is the huge under-construction area right behind where you spawn in the plaza. Gonna be weird if they do nothing with it, and there's just this eternally unfinished area still in the plaza years from now.

Honestly the burst bombs and ink shield are like the perfect combo for tri sloshers. The burst bomb lets you two-hour super quick, and the ink shield protects you at super close range.

I played Splatoon 1 with sticks, only because the Wii U gamepad was cumbersome as gently caress. Motion controls with the pro controller for Splatoon 2 is perfect, though.
