I have a shirt that's extremely similar to the Hula Punk shirt IRL and it really makes me wish I could find another grey and red Hawaiian shirt.

Please remember that you have bombs in Salmon Run, and that they can be used for things other than killing Flyfish and Maws. Such as reviving people if you're a Charger and are the only one alive.

I've seen a few different high tier Japanese Splatoon 2 streamers run with one sub slot of Quick Respawn...so maybes it worth giving up some small percentage of a buff elsewhere for it

Just 1 sub ability of Quick? Doesn't that only apply if you don't splat anyone over multiple lives?

Quick Respawn across the board in 2 only triggers if you die twice without killing anyone. So having that extra second that comes with one sub slot may be more useful that 1.4% extra move speed or whatever I may be using instead.

You have to die twice in a row without killing anyone for it to activate, and if that happens, your team is very likely getting their shins kicked. Not only that, assist kills disable Quick Respawn. You can't just tag someone and let someone else get the kill to get around it. The only genuine non training wheels use I can think of it is if you are purely a support player that will deliberately avoid killing and assisting killing anyone. Like an Aerospray in Turf Wars or something. You're really better off using that potential QR slot on something else.

What are people's suggestions for proper Bubble Blower usage? I have success with it, but nowhere near the level of success I'd want to be having.

I haven't played in a few days truth be told, but as far as I know you can let it exist as a stage hazard to some success, but I think it might rely on your team being aware that the bubbles are up. Can you pop your own bubbles quicker with object shredder?

Every Salmon Run I've played has ended with less players than we started. The one game we started with 3, we won. What is even happening.

I can't think of one redeeming thing. My seething hatred of Towers can't be understated. It's even more apparent how bad it is now that 2s maps exist next to the map equivalent of an rear end pimple. Heights was how to make a more vertical map and I hated it at first but have since learned how nice it is.

Still seems eh to me since the complaints range from 'snipers in the backfield' to 'nothing to do in the backfield' but I guess enjoyment is subjective

20,000 to scrub is still crazy for just 3 perks. I'm at the point where I only play on lunch and still needing 15 more ink resist ups to eventually craft that "perfect piece" is gonna take forever.

It is a weird system in that I have hundreds of chunks and can craft pretty much any ability, except for the few that I actualyl want because if you start using them they go fast. Some goons have crazy gear inventories already through a combination of grinding and luck - make sure you go into discord and ask for a private match with them to order gear off them! Even though in weeks fo doing it I have only gotten two pieces even with doubles, letalone a triple coming through

Good chargers are a god send in certain modes because of their support ability but I don't think I'm good enough at actual sniping to play that way

Not that I'm going to make you like the stage but there's definitely more than one side path. There is a platform and wall to climb literally under that rail and there are at least three ways to make it up on the other side too, up the wall by the grates, up the actual road, and up another wall partway up the road.

EDIT: a slightly less dumb response: yes a single charger isn't going to lock down the entire map to the point where the other team can't do anything about it (at least usualy, pubs are weird) but it's still lovely and unfun to deal with to the point where your only option is to hope you have a better charger player or that their charger is bad.

Doesn't even have to be chargers, any long range weapon on that perch is a royal bitch to get after. Before I swore it off I sat there with pros, squelchers, and the splatling annoying the hell out of everyone and laughing at the stupidity of it.Astroniomix posted:You'd be surprised.

I'm at the point where I only play on lunch and still needing 15 more ink resist ups to eventually craft that "perfect piece" is gonna take forever. Perfect gear is really expensive to craft because of the reliance on waiting for double abilities to roll randomly (to avoid ponying up 50 or 60 of the drat chunks). I play a couple hours a night and the only way I've been able to bankroll it is though Salmon Run winnings and using double money food during Splatfest. All other times I have a drink active corresponding to the next ability I'm grinding chunks for. You may want to give up on crafting perfect gear and just concentrate on getting those 30 chunks to spread across an entire outfit. While more flexible, it'd be far more expensive and time-consuming to mandate that those 3 pieces of gear need be "pure".

Before I swore it off I sat there with pros, squelchers, and the splatling annoying the hell out of everyone and laughing at the stupidity of it. I'm with you on Moray. I was never a charger user, so in S1 I loved sitting on the sniper perch with a hydra splatling and enough bomb distance up to easily huck a splat bomb onto the other sniper perch.

I think Moray is fine for RM and TC. It's just Splat Zones, and its the only map/mode combo in the game that I don't have any fun with at all, which is still batting a pretty good average.

Blind-firing into the zone will deny the other team outright with minimal effort, and there is still the issue of three other players on the team. Especially if there's at least one other bringing a Charger/Splattershot Pro/Splatling.

Don't grind chunks. Play ranked and hope for a lucky 3 roll in a favored ability. If you don't get one, scrub and try again. Tickets help.
