I've never played Splatoon 1 so I was using the roller, doing only horizontal flicks, and flailing around with the motion controls. Basically I was the perfect storm of garbage and I took 20 seconds to paint a wall.

I keep reading people mention that there's a way to tell if a salmon run wave is going to be high tide/low tide. I've never noticed anything during the countdown or before the water level changes, so what is the indication exactly?

Covering up to half the screen means high-tide, floating around the bottom of the screen means low-tide. Thanks for explaining the high/low tide indicators on salmon run guys. That transparent wave banner was a lot more subtle than I was expecting. Pubbies been doing real good with today's loadout. All straightforward damage weapons resulted in me going 5/5 today in pro.

If seabagging after using splashdown to wipe a team camping my super jump is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Frankston posted:I've been employing a very sneaky tactic towards the end of salmon run rounds that's been helping me win a lot more than before, here it is: Yeah the real secret to salmon run is to hone your pubbie herding skills. They're very predictable in that they'll ignore everything and beeline towards bosses cause they want to be top DPS. Usually they'll manage to take the boss down with them then immediately die to the salmon mosh pit they dove into. My role is usually the janitor-- keep things moving smoothly by inking escape routes, keep trash monsters under control (eg kill the trash that no one's paying attention to, pubbies love to target fixate and magdump into the same hoard even though one person could have easily handled it). Of course, some weapons can't do this as well because they're highly specialized (scopes, brushes, etc) so at that point you should play to it's strengths. In general I find playing reactively to what my teammates are doing and covering their flaws has been a good strategy. I pub all my salmon run games and have never dropped out of pro since I got there. You'll lose sometimes despite your best efforts and it's cathartic to say "loving pubbies", but in the end you're the only common factor between all your runs and you should try to improve on the things you have direct control over. yergacheffe fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Aug 8, 2017 |

One other pro tip I learned from this thread for mothership round is that if you have the Stingray super, use it on the ship as it's coming towards your egg baskets. When you damage the ship while it's flying towards you, it'll drop gold eggs. Try to also memorize where a good group of chinooks spawn close to the basket are and dedicate yourself to staying in that area popping them for eggs. Spam 'this way' and hopefully your teammates will notice the giant pile of eggs you're piling up. I find most mothership waves fail because people are spending way too much time chasing down chinooks only for them to fly away at the last second.

I prefer the heavy for salmon run. I need the extra range and damage to reliably one cycle Steelheads and I find it extremely useful for maximizing Goldies in gusher rounds. But realistically it's probably better in all other use cases.
