Anyone with crippling ocd want to comment on splatoon painting

You could spend an hour or two painting every inch of the single player hub if you were bored in the first game. Could probably do the same in the splatfest demo's tutorial section if you felt inklined to do so.

If the missle shooting boss shows up in wave 3, its GG because half the team will promptly get murdered on the first salvo and no one will actually bother to throw bombs at it.

There is no indication of if it's actually that character or a clone or who knows what, also the other boss in that picture was not teased anywhere as being in Splatoon2 that I ever noticed.

Not everyone reads every tweet and watches hour-long youtube breakdowns of videogame box art.

Surprisingly (apparently) some people just go oh there is a new Splatoon game, I will buy that. In fact, it seems pretty obvious that the people who would care about spoilers are the very people who would have avoided them up to this point.

It doesn't matter that you don't "get it". It shouldn't matter if you don't care - just knowing that anyone cares, or honestly that potentially anyone cares should be enough to employ a little common courtesy.

edit: FOR EXAMPLE (not that it should matter)
Personally since we know that many of the octarians are grown from clippings or severed tentacles I thought that the final boss hinted at in the boxart might be a clone of Callie or that she was actually doing some sort of outreach to the Octolings what with there being one in the new host duo.

Honestly the worst part is that its a big load of nothing and a major letdown. All these new bosses, all that story stuff before launch and oh, its mind control and the final boss is a repeat for the first games with a grind rail segment added on. Then callie doesnt even stick around and we put the villian in a snow-globe again since that worked so well the first time. The singleplayer was a actually pretty neat thing but that last part felt like a rushjob.

Also yeah jokes aside spoiler tags take no effort to use, might as well use em

They had to nerf the inkzooka 3-4 times to get it so it wasn't a gently caress you I win button like it was for the longest time. I used to be a terror with that thing.

Still didnt stop it in the slightest. splatzones on saltspray rig was a bloodbath with them with 3 chokepoints, and people always thinking they're safe on the ledges, when the inkzooka said otherwise.

Speaking of, when you approach the main stage, if you turn left you go to Grizzco, if you turn right you go to a dead end. I suspect that that dead end will be used for SOMETHING that they're plotting. That's too much space to just leave dead.

Honestly, what I find odd is the huge under-construction area right behind where you spawn in the plaza. Gonna be weird if they do nothing with it, and there's just this eternally unfinished area still in the plaza years from now.

Like yeah furries are gross but jesus some of you are acting like you're the last wall against some kind of invading force. It's some weirdos drawing cartoon animals in some speech bubbles in a game calm down holy poo poo. You're reporting of benign drawings isn't some how going to send a message to furries not to draw stuff and drive them away. Losing your poo poo about furries was old hat on SA back in 06

Its more the concern that actual kids play this game and people dont want them googling what a furry is and having a 8 year old's first experience with porn be a cartoon wolf dick.

I know that its 2017 and escaping weird fetishes is impossible online, but reporting wont kill anyone and id rather have spongebob memes in my plaza rather then furries trolling people cuz they said stop.

It's super easy to create a new account on the Switch, right?

I double dog dare any of the goons here who are saying git gud to create a smurf account and slum it down in C rank for a bit and then still come back saying "the problem is 100% you"

Because it's not. It was easy for you to rise because you got the game release day, poopsocked it to level 10, played through C and B with other poopsockers like yourself who know how to play the game because you all poured 100+ into Splatoon 1. Meanwhile, the players who were/are bad at the game that were at C when you spend through ranked are still down here in C, making GBS threads it up for the rest of us who took our time getting to level 10.

I did this in splatoon 1 last year, I made a smurf account and leveled it to 20 with only the splattershot jr and procceeded to climb up in ranks even past B-

I did this after the game had been out for a while , so I had a ton of terrible teams.
The thing with splatoon is since "health" regens pretty fast , its really easy for one player to just go on a splatting spree of chasing down one opponent after another, So its really easy with enough skill to carry an entire team.

Get good enough and you can brute force your way to higher ranks, there's no rush. (im still C rank on several of the modes, I'm too busy playing salmon run for fun instead)
In short:

Been catching up on Splatoon 2 news. Is there any reason to get excited over the Octoling file?

It was in splatoon1's code after an update and nothing came of it. There hasn't been any announcements of new modes, characters, or any single player stuff, so until then, I wouldn't get your hopes up unless something gets announced.

What happens at night? I only just stepped into Salmon Run the other day, did my tutorials and a few matches. The hardest thing I've dealt with so far is managing to bomb the shark without getting eaten myself.

Night can be one of several events:
Reduced vision in fog, otherwise a normal wave That can have goldie in it

A mothership wave, where you shoot the enemies bringing in crates and shoot the mothership when it latches onto the basket to steal eggs

Glowfish wave, where salmon rush a person at random like a zombie hoard, stay near the basket and try to get them all coming from one direction

And lastly" Find the goldie" where you shoot drains until you find goldie, spam "this way" and everyone hits it a bunch. How much the drain glows after you shoot it hints how close you are. This ones a bit luck based

anyways you dont really have that problem in ranked thanks to no voice chat but i still do get jittery just cause of how super intense it can get. maybe i will start splatting that zone, controlling that tower or raining that maker, i dunno yet, i play games to relax, salmon run might be on when i get home from work today and nothing is more relaxing than aiming a stingray down a rush of salmonids during a glowfly event

I absoultely hate rank and find it stressful and anger inducing just because of the constant risk of losing rank and any exp/cash from knockouts.
ironically the only time im an idiot yelling about my teamates is when i don't have voicechat, since i have a hard time getting angry at people when i actually talk to them, and they arent just 3 game characters on my side that get wiped every so often.

agreed that salmon run is chill though. Lose on wave one, even lose rank? no biggie, shoot ill gladly play with squids lower rank then me to help them. gonna get that superbonus regardless of what happens.

I don't think these kind of games usually have characters get actively angry even at your miserable failure. Probably because they don't need to encourage the players to take it out on each other, the Switch, nearby pets and loved ones, etc.

Iirc didnt they have to tone down mr resetti in animal crossing because having the character yelling at them freaked out little children playing the game? Same deal here I imagine.

I'm bad enough at Salmon Run/play it rarely enough that I've never had a Goldie or Mothership round and all these posts make em seem really scary and overwhelming lol

They're frankly more of the less threatening waves, to the point of having the opposite problem. No boss salmoids spawn during them so there can just be a lot of wasted time between finding goldie/ getting the little flying jerks to drop a crate close to you so you can splat them for an egg.

Emperry Dualies are annoying.

I exclusively use the tenta missles atm . I got an outfit stacked with special saver and special up so everytime i get taken out i just have to fill in a tiny bit of spawn and can instantly fire on almost every opponent at once, which also helps distract as i super jump back in

If they're headed toward the elevator, just wait a bit for them to get on if they're not too far away. Only reason to raise it earlier is if you're going to die or fail the round if you don't.

I really don't know how people keep assuming that the top-level players are going to be consistently competent, rather than just dragged up by sheer perseverance without learning anything.

I think people overestimate how many people get carried to higher ranks in this game.

pichupal posted:

There's just a wide skill disparity in Profreshional. The trick with Profresional is that once you reach 200+, you're dragging weaker players in to sessions with more Boss Salmonids which will just make things harder for them. Like, I think you get exactly 10 bosses exactly at the easiest setting for Profreshional with a requirement of 12, and I've had Wave 1 start with a 16 required and end with 20 required before. So you're still getting people who aren't great with all the weapons and can probably handle a small requirement, but the matchmaking pushes them harder.

I know it's a new map, but it's weird having to spam 'This Way' to people who didn't realize it was Low Tide in Profreshional.

I'm honestly shocked they haven't made a difficulty past profreshonal. Maybe its gonna be like splatoon 1 where they didn't add S rank until enough people had played it.

I have no idea why people think running around rather than hunkering down is a good idea in rush rounds.

asked this in the discord once but didnt really get any response: whats a good general set of abilities for using with the sloshing machine? my previous set was special up and at times im considering just outright ignoring the sting ray,its so terrible.

for that matter, is there something specifically i should be doing with sting ray? i feel like i could just splat people normally in the time it takes to take them out with this thing.

Stop taking the Rainmaker to the ink rail at the start of Humpback Pumptrack. Why do people keep doing this? it pretty much guarantees a very fast loss if the enemy cuts you off. It's one of the riskiest routes to take unless the entire enemy team is dead.

Whats more amazing is the people who still take it to the the ink rail at the bottom in moray towers, see me standing at the other end, aiming at it with a sloshing machine , and go "Eh, I can still make it".
They don't.

is that something you can rely on? how long do you have from drizzlers aiming their cannon and firing the missile?

Sometimes the missile fires into a wall or off the stage so you cant reliably get behind it, otherwise you have like a second before the cannon fires to see what direction its going to fire , then move in position and take it out before the missile flies up

Still seems eh to me since the complaints range from 'snipers in the backfield' to 'nothing to do in the backfield' but I guess enjoyment is subjective

I despise it because the center of the map is a clusterfuck that can easily be shut down by a good charger and the only side path is a rail leading right to said sniper that makes you even MORE vulnerable while taking it.
