If you're at Profreshional, points are now saved at 100 point intervals, rounded down.

Used to be it would reset at 40 regardless of where you ended at last shift. Now it will reset at 100, 200, 300 or 400 depending on where you ended at last shift. If you ended at 999, it will still reset to 400. This has made it less of a grind, but more difficult overall due to people more often having higher pay grades than they would have had in the old system. There is also a new intro when your team reaches the maximum pay grade. https://webmshare.com/play/g0bob

Neat! I never played enough salmon run in one sitting to see the higher difficulties so now I can ramp towards that which is cool

After Skatepark and Dome had almost no changes, i'm surprised how different Camp and Pit are.

Also I see my favourite shirt is getting an inversion, so that's nice.

If you mean in turf war than yeah probably. If you mean ranked the list on the results screen is based on you invisible ELO, so if you've won a few games in a row and then play terribly you'll still be listed as number 1.

Actually speaking of, I hope Rank X just shows you your MMR like they do during splatfests

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
The color scheme used for this Splatfest makes it easy to be confused about what's going on. If you're finding that happening to you, remember, you can turn on color lock to change the color scheme to something a lot more visually distinctive.

Splatfest is probably the worst time for me to experiment, but how are people liking the Dark Tetra Duallies? The secondary and super seem neat in a tidy little aggressive package.

I like this shifty station, but it seems like whoever captures the center gets an automatic win unless their team is like, REALLY bad.

Splatfest is actually an amazing time to experiment because it's all Turf War so it's chill as hell and a couple wins or losses won't be THAT big a swing. So go ahead and try them, I want to try them too since they seem neat.

This Shifty Station is great. Can’t tell if I like it becuase everyone rushes to containment zones while I ink up enemy turf, or if other people just don’t know all the ins and outs and are idiots.

Every time I try to stay in the thunder dome and battle it out we lose. Holding the center doesn’t matter

I quite like them, though I'm not good with them. Being able to shoot while dodging on top of the extra dodges is really nice.

Thunder dome is great. I've seen matches where no one goes, and the locked territory decides the match, but I've also seen matches where one side over commits to the middle and loses in the last 30 seconds.

Pro tip: the launch pads in the thunderdomes count as super jumps.

While we can salivate on the upcoming single player expansion, there's still stuff coming in the shorter period with the 3.0 update coming late April. That's soon.
  • Some old and new stages: Splatoon 1 staples Piranha Pit, Camp Triggerfish and a new stage called Wahoo World.
  • Hundreds of new pieces of gear to wear.
  • New weapons, of course.
  • And probably some tweaks and stuff.

Oh, and apparently it was suggested that more is to come. They're not over this game for some time.

I mean I just found this out the other day but in japan Splatoon 2 sold more than Odyssey, breath of the wild and Mk8

Maybe, but they may also be trying to go for splats instead of coverage and coverage is what wins



Man, are there not enough chicken players now? I’m getting some egg on egg violence here and there
