Did everyone get a fully pre-leveled mining hat, or is it random chance? I know my Grizzco polo last month wasn't pre-leveled like this, at least.

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.

Motion controls are overrated. STIXXXXX.

I've gotten shirts randomly with 1-3 slots filled in, it can happen. If it's a dupe you can opt to just scrub them for free too which is great

I don't understand how people get S-ranks so quickly, do you guys not get the same people I get in ranked matchmaking where they'll gently caress around painting some random corner of the map while the enemy splatzone counter is ticking away / enemy is riding the tower to our goal

I've found the odds of winning generally go right down the toilet when there's a Charger in the mix. Yes, people can be fantastic with them, it's just that they're rarely in the hands of one such person for all three waves.

I actually have smaller hands myself. I think the Wii U pad and all the Switch configurations are all comfy though.

Might be common knowledge but if you want be as efficient as possible level up the item you get from Salmon Run to 3 slots or at least 1 slot. When you get it again in Salmon run you can trade in the one you have for ability chunks and money.

Twice tonight I was lining up a shot against the big missile guy (steelhead?) only to get bumped by some shithead fish at the last second, throwing off my shot.

Sorry team.

Interesting. I'd never seen anyone mention it that I can recall, so it was a surprise when it showed up the other day.

I think most people have had that happen at least a time or two. Usually when the Scrapper's vehicular manslaughter attempts are happening.

Worst thing I've personally had happen in a Salmon Run was earlier tonight, when even after being on the charging cradle all afternoon my left Joycon decided it was out of battery without warning and I had to scramble to snap together the handheld mode before my team lost (we still lost). I felt so sorry for the rest of my team, we were on the final wave and everything.

Just carry really hard, and get a little lucky in Rainmaker. I broke the A+ meter three times on it, compared to twice everywhere else combined.

I just roll up my sleeves and play my best. In my last 50 matches I've had a 70% winrate so I think I'm doing something right.

I did just cruise through A+ in Tower Control but pretty much nobody carried, all my teams seemed to contribute more or less equally that time.

It's a 4 on 4 game. Small teams mean you can do a lot more to carry the game. Sometimes you're all not going to play together, sometimes a guy will be very inept; but OH WELL, it's only for one short game. This isn't Overwatch or League. It also helps that your team isn't penalized for a disconnect.

I decided to try and actually use the aerospray to do some cool down matches and had to switch off immediately because it felt like cheating



they should change these weapons...but I'll succumb to the dark side all day Saturday to defend mayonnaise

That felt like cheating? I can easily get 2200-2400p with the Aerospray. But I'm also getting 2000p with some of the other guns.

Playing with goons during Salmon Run is a game changer. Managed to go straight from low Go-getter to Profreshional in about 2 hours and make about 60k cash while we were at it. Finally even got to see Gushers and Mothership rounds for the first time.

Then I went for a quick game of Turf War afterward...

Going 0 to 10 with the Dualie Squelchers in Turf War :negative:

I had some great Freelance games tonight in Salmon Run managed to stay in Profreshional, only failed on the first wave once and that was my fault. The glow flies appeared on me while running back to the basket and I got my team wiped.

What's the trade-off of the Sploosh-o-matic relative to other Splatoon 2 weapons? A shorter range, higher damage Aerospray? As much as I used the Splash-o-matic in Splatoon 1 I never really touched the Sploosh

Wow I woke up and found out apparently I suck at splatoon. First I was consistently getting first or second place in turf war with the roller, and the team almost always won. Now I'm always last, by far. I haven't won a single match yet.
