I really hate what a lovely cesspool of memes the square constantly is in Splatoon 2. Like you had your squid/kid and SpongeBob memes in the first one, but it seems way more concentrated in this game. I'm glad miiverse is no longer alive to see what its successor looks like.


BMing...?

BM is bad manners. For splatoon it basically just means teabagging

I'm not really sure what the cushion numbers track in this one, or how they're affected by scoring. I'm talking about the +X penalties in Splat Zones, there's a similar number but I didn't really catch what was affecting it. I'm also not sure what ends overtime because I guess technically as long as there are 10 free clams or a football on the map it's possible for somebody to come back, and I've had a really long overtime that just kind of ended. So maybe it is the free clams?

Clam Blitz is pretty fun, and it'll only get better once everyone figures out how to play and matchmaking sorts itself out.

My observations:
- Your goal drops a football when it resets. Almost everyone I've played with seems to ignore it and they all scatter to collect clams instead. Don't forget to pick up that football!

A quick tutorial on this new mode, or any ranked mode (for your first time) for that matter would be really welcome. I didn't know wtf was going on until my 4th game.
