It's easy. Just throw one splat bomb and then another when they try to swim away.

I really don't think we're going to get video recording on an OS level. The PS4 has 8GB of high speed RAM and has to reserve 3 of those for the OS, a lot of which goes to the "always recording" functions. With only 1 GB of slower RAM for the Switch OS, I don't see it happening, even with a lower recording resolution.

Obtuse.....even hokey.
Splat bombs are so so good. I've been playing with the Inkbrush and during the splatzone rotation have had a lot of success hiding in nooks and crannies while mainly throwing splat bombs at enemies who try to approach. Also, throwing a splat bomb after a splashdown is almost a guaranteed kill since opponents only back up far enough to dodge the splashdown which just so happens to be in perfect splat bomb range.

Be warned that Ink Resistance Up does not work while firing. It only works while you're walking around. Probably a really poor ability to use with say, a Nozzlenose weapon. Still a good ability for a lot of other weapons, though.

Thankfully, brushes do not count as "firing". It's always in effect for them.

Looks like my roller rear end is safe then.

I had to stop playing salmon run this weekend. I ranked down from profreshional to whatever the hell the bottom tier was. I'm still mad. A whole lot of it was disconnects. Sorry Grizz, lowering the quota doesn't get it. If there's only two or three of us, that's less people to run around reviving when poo poo goes down.

I've clawed my way back up to go getter, and I'm still bone crunchingly mad. Here's some poo poo I've seen that's asinine:

-In the lower ranks, for some reason it's trendy to sit and guard salmon eggs until your coworkers come and get them. Why? Eggs don't work unless they're in the basket. Mr. Grizz isn't going to promote you because you look fresh in those overalls. Get your rear end to the basket and then kill another boss if you somehow lost an egg.

-I played a Goldie round where no one knew to hit the geysers. Are you not curious as to why they suddenly appeared? Ink first ask questions later. Or at least see that I'M running around the map like a mad woman hitting them all because you can't be bothered.

-I got a mothership round where we got an ink brush, a luna blaster, a flingza roller and a disconnect. I had the roller, and I was shot gunning everything out of the air best I could, but goddamn. Mr. Grizz, poo poo like that is how unions get formed.

Well if you're "firing" with a brush or a roller, then you shouldn't ever be in enemy ink.

It's crazy how everyone who posts here only ever gets paired up with the dumbest most incompetent motherfuckers. Like, what are the odds

I actually had a perfect run all the way through A+ tonight, after ranking out of S the other day from about 10 straight losses. The teams were great, pushed aggressively, snuck by on one side of the map while half the team distracted the enemy on the other side, shockingly competent.

So of course my first match back in S had two chargers and a roller, none of whom were interested in going anywhere near the rainmaker, let alone pushing forward or taking it to the goal. It's not like the other team was especially good or anything, we just lost by time because nobody wanted to venture past mid-field for some reason.

With a brush you "shouldn't", but turning too sharply (sometimes you don't have a choice in that matter) will count as you stepping in enemy ink, and can cause you to end up being bear trapped and end up in a really sticky situation. Ink Resistance Up negates that particular issue, and honestly, there generally isn't too much else a brush user wants on their gear.

Rollers really don't have such an issue and really don't need IRU.

I guess that gives me two months to decide if I should order the Splatoon 2 art book in Japanese, or wait for them to announce the English localisation in two years. I got the Splatoon 1 art book in Japanese before they announced the localisation, and I had no idea a picture book would also have comics and descriptions that would expand on the lore a bit. I kind of have regrets, but it's still a drat fine art book.

Before I got that S+ triple I had bottomed out at 12/38, waffling between A+/S in some of the modes. Sometimes you need to take a break and play some turf or something for a few days, maybe try out some new weapons and then get back at it. You can do it!

You need good control of your range and ink to succeed at high rank play. Higher ranks you also deal with people who are more adept at working themselves through the death curtain and get up in your face forcing you to score a direct hit. Rapid Blaster is without a doubt my least favorite weapon to fight against.

Top 10 weapons used in League Mode in Japan:



Who knows about the Rapid Blaster. If anything might be getting nerfed, it would probably be the Splattershots. Though at any rate, this meta appears to be fairly healthy in comparison to pre-1.3.0. There's nothing on the level of the Tri-Slosher or Tentatek Splattershot.

Oh and for reference, the bottom 2 weapons used in League Mode in Japan:

On part timer when quota is 9 it spawns about 4 bosses. The game teaches you to do it wrong.

Can't really nerf the splattershot beyond touching its specials, its the base kit that everything else is balanced around. It will pretty much always be the top or near the top of usage.
