Araxxor: Oct 20, 2012; My disdain for you all knows no bounds.

Seems like it has a lot of area denial potential. It already comes with the Suction Bombs and the gun itself has a lot of range. The question is, how well will the Bubble Blower work out in practice?

Sub Power Up is one of those abilities that aren't necessary to have. For most subs it'll just give you a longer range, which is useful at some situations, but not something that really demands it. So what could it possibly offer to the Beakon?

The ability for anyone to super jump to them more quickly. Basically one main Sub Power Up translates to one main Quick Super Jump on the Beakon. That's an intriguing feature and something that could make a difference in some games.

There's even a video comparing the results although it's in Japanese - but you can clearly see the test results.

Close, but not quite! Here's their findings:

Any super jump with no power ups = 4 sec.

Jumping to a beacon placed with 3 main Sub Power Ups = 3 sec. (for self and all allies)

Any super jump with 3 main Quick Super Jumps = 2.67 sec.

So the Sub Power Up is not quite as powerful as a Quick Super Jump, but it affects anyone jumping to that beacon.
*If you have Sub Power Ups and jump to a teammate's beacon, you don't get the shortened time. It only applies to beacons placed by a player with Sub Power Up.

It would be interesting to see how they combine, and how quickly you could jump with maxed out Quick Super Jumps to a beacon placed with max Sub Power Ups.

Yeah, that was what I meant, but clearly I wasn't articulate enough. Oh well.

I just bought this game yesterday, mostly because the OP made it sound like an absolute riot. Is there a bunch of stuff I should learn before getting into it, or can I just start painting things?

Like, is the effort post a few posts up something I should try to figure out, or will it just come with time?

*Note* I never owned a Wii U and so know nothing about Splatoon 1 or 2. I'm essentially entirely blind

They are pretty much right with 'just play', I'm barely ahead of you doing the same thing, never played 1, bought 2 a week ago. The single player makes you use each type of weapon and it's handy for getting the hang of things. It's not totally useless for MP either as you can get tickets that temporarily increase rewards from MP.

In turf war, I'd just kinda keep your head down and play. Matchmaking seems pretty non-existant in Turf War so you will get stomped and early on it will probably be your fault. The starting gun is not a joke despite what it looks like, so don't feel pressured to use a new gun if you like the Jr.

I'm excited for the first Splatfest that's tough for me to choose sides.

Ranked modes are less stressful when you realize it's just artificial and means nothing in the grand scheme of things, and you should just play because you're having fun, and stop playing when you're not having fun.
The only problem I have with it is the plethora of braindead teammates, but that seems to be something you somehow get across the board of every rank in every ranked mode.

Tengames: Oct 29, 2008

asked this in the discord once but didnt really get any response: whats a good general set of abilities for using with the sloshing machine? my previous set was special up and at times im considering just outright ignoring the sting ray,its so terrible.

for that matter, is there something specifically i should be doing with sting ray? i feel like i could just splat people normally in the time it takes to take them out with this thing.
