Yeah, Normal mode is a more relaxed affair. The professional mode just makes you hate your teammates and yourself, especially when you see your buddies missing yet another jump on the bounce pad in Shifty Station. Still going to go through that next month.

So what does the clout give you? Winning gives you super sea snails, obviously, but still confused what clout really does

I suspect (didn't bother with pro because I just wanted to splat with friends) that the highs are higher and the lows are lower, similar to the normal vs. ranked/league dichotomy.

Wait, I missed out on the Splatfest this week, with normal mode, you can choose to replay with the same team as a solo queuer?

i dunno why normal mode wasnt the splatfest default in splat 2 like it was in splat 1, i still have some super fond memories of synergising with a bunch of squids naturally, sticking with them and clowning on the other team all the way to queen with 30+ winstreaks. i cant even remember anything like that in splat 2 since every match you get a different bunch every time mostly played pro this splatfest but will probably do more normal next time round

I played a bunch of times with the same Squids in Splatfest yesterday which was great, one of them even sent me a friend request after  I loved that I could see the opposing team’s win streak it made the stakes seem higher. And I was very excited to win my two 10x matches. I really like the new format a lot.

Did it like 10 matches in a row, it was great!

for me i still remember one splatfest where every match a splatling and i with my 3k would first rush to mid to stop any bad guy advances while a splattershot and roller inked up our side, then when they were done id mark all the bad guys with echolocator and all three of them would dive into hostile territory with inkstrikes, krakens and inkzookas while i held the choke. i still get teary thinking about how well we worked together without a word being said

I feel like it would have been way more fun if you could have chosen from a group of weapons from each class, or like the hero weapon set or something. Fight would have been way more fun for me if I could have tried to beam it with a roller.

Crawfish posted:I think it's more dragged down by being tied to one weapon type. It's just the basic splattergun, which literally everyone has used for a bit in multiplayer and singleplayer, so it's not like they're expecting you to do the fight with a Charger. It's also really more of a pattern-recognition boss than anything, because once you know the basic dance for each stage it's somewhat easier to work your way back up to the later stages. What'll actually help you the most is getting as much turf inked as possible each time they bugger off back to their platform to switch loadouts, because to slows them down having to actually ink their way around the arena and gives you more of an opening to gently caress'em over. The Bubble Blower special might seem like an easy opening to close in from the side and splat'em quickly, but the Bubbles themselves are gonna gently caress you up right back for the next stage of the fight when they eat a third of the arena's floor if you don't clean them up ASAP.

Inner agent 3 was a let down to me for a number for reasons and being fixed to that one weapons was a big part of it. I don’t use this weapon in multiplayer and I just played a DLC using everything else. Also I use bubbles online because no one knows how to deal with them. That applies to me in this fight as well.

It's even worse when you consider that the gyro and r stick sliders would be set to something appropriate to the weapons you usually use, making it even harder for people not used to the basic gun they threw away as soon as they hit Lv 5. Rest of your opinion is top tier advice for anyone that hasn't beaten it yet though. Keeping on top of territory is what got it for me in the end.

The spoiler boss turfs really aggressively and makes things explode a lot. To win you have to master efficient turfing with shooter weapons and abusing line of sight to avoid explosive subs and specials.

Both in Sploon2 and the original. I've done it a few times. That's where I usually leave off at *just* Champ, or because I'm working the next day.
