People seriously underestimate the reach of the Splatling gun. I just had the entire enemy team one by one try to rush up a hallway at me with Aerosprays while I stood there spinning up

The only thing that makes me iffy about the next Salmon Run set is the carbon roller and charger. Carbon rollers because I'm not sure it will be able to splat regular chums with its roll. If it can't then its gonna be pretty inferior to a regular roller in this mode. If it can then its obviously fine. Charger I'm afraid of solely because I'm awful with chargers. I lost count of how many times I tried to line up a shot on a steelhead, got hugged by a smallfry, and then completely panicked before flailing into the ocean. I have no idea what the optimal way to defend yourself with a charger is at close range.

i'm bad with charger but at short range can't you just tap the fire button?

The first few weeks of ranked are always a cluster, as good players are still working their way up to the higher ranks Just enjoy getting better, friend

A perfect match making system has you losing half the time so still winning 18 games is not bad

The goal is to have good and middling players separated by skill though, right? Like I'm not likely to be amazing any time soon so most of the amazing players should get bundled together when they achieve their A++++ status, correct?

I just started ranked, halfway through C-. I think there's definitely not a lot of bright players at this rank but being good means being able to adjust to that. I never equip a roller for example, almost all of my teams have at least two rollers so I don't need to run that. I also try to bring the right weapon for the map and the mode, that's a lot of fun for me personally.

Yes, you are placed with people around your skill level, so it's always a severe self own when people call their (ranked) teammates braindead morons Edit: needing to climb to your appropriate rank initially notwithstanding

If you can't get out of C rank and you're blaming that fact on your teammates lmao. The way it's set up you have to win like 5 times and you can lose 8 or so and still rank up. Also if you're a pro you can just skip whole levels when you level up cause the game knows you're good.

Jarogue posted:I think I get it now why people said the Splattershot Jr. was too legit to quit in the first game Ink Armor isn't anywhere near as good as Bubbler was, but none of the specials in this game are as good as the ones in the first game anyway, so the Jr. is still excellent. I kept trying other guns in the first game and just kept coming back to the Jr. because I liked the feel and performance of it. It's one of the best guns to have in a high speed close range knife fight and it spits out ink almost as well as the Aerospray (to the point where I can barely feel the difference.) The standard grenades are just about the most useful and versatile bombs because they can flush people out of a place you can't reach or get then to keep away from a place or deter pursuit when you need to reposition for a backstab or whatever. You'll rarely win running straight at someone using most other guns since they'll outrange you but that's not the best way to kill anyone anyway. If you can get into close range you'll win every time though, even if they know full well that you're there. The RoF and the spread just make it perfect for those point blank fights where you're jumping around like a maniac. Any weapon should win in a perfect ambush but the Jr. will see you through if things go wrong. I haven't even bought any other guns yet because past experience tells me I won't use them anyway BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jul 24, 2017 |

You can program a series of commands into the fight stick and it uses those to draw the picture like an old dot matrix. Interesting technically but kinda lame when every single postcard thing is a rasterbated meme.

I'm having trouble super jumping. I utilized it a lot during Splatfest, but now in the full actual game, its just not doing anything at all anymore. Any tips? Is it something that I need to unlock or something? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Is it something that I need to unlock or something? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Gotta be alive, gotta select an ally (D-pad.. thing) and the cursor needs to be relatively close to that ally. It's honestly pretty finicky, though I don't know why.

You don't even need to use the dpad, just select a teammate on the map and button mash until you respawn.

Spacebump posted:Somehow people are "printing" pictures into Splatoon 2 with a Pokken control. https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/Switch-Fightstick So the switch will just accept any USB HID device with the correct descriptors as a pro controller?  I figured that the USB connection was for charging and making the initial wireless sync easier and that the actual controller communication was over wireless, but this sort of opens things up for weird custom controllers. I wrote USB HID code for a different brand of microcontroller years ago that I should dig back up and play with.
