Charging is also fine if you see long lines of Salmonids that aren't right in your face, which the doors on this map help encourage. Charging is also good for getting hits on eels, scrappers, and drizzlers, so charging isn't something that you should never do.

Unless there is literally nothing else to kill i rarely even charge for those and will instead just drop a bomb or drop ink on other trash while waiting for the clean shot to come up.

How do you use a roller well? My biggest issue with them is ammo. With pretty much every other weapon I lay my trail out before me, swim through it and shoot again, but you can't do that with a roller and use it effectively. What happens when you run out of ammo?

Also, I've been using mainly the first N-Zap, and I'm really liking it though I've felt the change in the Ink Armor, I'm pretty pleased all around that I'm finally getting the hang of flanking. Before my connection died out I led 3 matches to victory almost pushing me up to C in Splat Zones. I imagine it's your bread and butter on higher levels but no one seems to realize that when I run away from them all I'm doing is circling around that box and coming up from behind.

Someone who really uses them should speak up on that, I more know the kind of aggressiveness they have when they got any room to work with and how to deal with it.

I really don't like this current map rotation in Tower control.

Also holy poo poo, did all the Tri-Slosher players flock to the Octobrush? I'm seriously considering picking up the Aerospray just to defang them, because no one values map control in ranked.

Probably. It has similar killing power to the Tri Slosher when mashing the trigger, and the autobomb is real good. I actually feel like it kills a bit faster than the Tri Slosher, dunno how the range compares though.

Not sure about compared the Tri-Slosher but the Octobrush definitely has more range than you'd expect.

Not having motion controls in other Switch games is driving me nuts after playing this non-stop.

Motion controls are good.

Yup, Destiny 2 is somewhat unplayable to me due to this. Use the Custom JR if you want to play support against octobrush users. The auto bomb helps sniff them out from ink as well.

Holy poo poo, with the custom shooty puff jr. plus the resurgence of the octobrush I've been seeing an absolute gently caress ton of autobombs recently.

I bit the bullet and adopted motion controls and holy gently caress what a difference it makes in Salmon Run. I went from floundering around in Go-getter to maxing out the bar in profreshional, I feel like TASbot sniping everything and laying down bombs in perfect precision to revive dead teammates. Still suck at turf wars for some reason though

Yes that's true! I've seen a lot of really good players on pro teams on twitch advocate toward using it if you play shooter weapons. You should use not use it you play the "support" role.

hmm. where would you draw the line at "support"? the weapons i use the most are hero shot replica, nzap 85, and i've started using the new custom splattershot jr (i feel this one is most likely to be support out of the three?? could be wrong)

I think every gun there with the exception of the hero shot are usually used to fill the "support" role. If you're supporting that means you're focused on giving your team map control you should not be dying or playing aggressively so comeback makes less sense.

N-Zaps should also try to build up that special meter so they can get Ink Armors off, especially after the special cost reduction they got.

Kaubocks
Apr 13, 2011

that makes sense. i think i need to reevaluate how i play as nzap and cssjr in ranked-- should i focus more on attacking from the sides and painting forward of the objective to give us turf advantage? i often find myself, for example, on the tower. i try not to get on it if we don't have team advantage but sometimes the thrill of battle overcomes me

Araxxor

The Jr.s aren't really good killing weapons, as their range is very short. So it's very difficult to approach your targets in a lot of cases. I'd say inking turf, staying alive, and building up those specials are higher priorities than getting into fights.

The N-Zap has more combat potential due to more range, though ideally, you don't focus too much on that unless you spot a very good opportunity to do so.

For the kinds of weapons that can build up special real easily, and can stand on their own, I would say Special Charge Up is a lot better to have. (Get Tenacity if you stack a ridiculous amount of Special Charge Ups.)

Same, man. Something must have switched in my head or something, cus I went from all ok S ranks to to two A+'s, one of which has like three cracks and isn't even at OK yet. I used to have twice as many wins as losses, but now it's almost to the complete opposite. Really kills my motivation to keep playing, which probably makes me play worse.

I just remember in the last game on the Wii U that I had the timing of my weapons down. I knew if I was using the roller I could take a specific path, get my special by a specific part of the map, and then have the ability to push forward with it. Then they change things and I am finding that all my weapons are coming up short of getting their special by just enough to piss me off. It's like the same poo poo after this update
