How are people still posting in the festival tag for Splatoon 1? I thought that was only for Splatfests...

I'm also very excited for the Umbrella.

Depending on how it works,might it be more useful for bullying snipers or other guns with low fire rates and high ink consumption?

Never played the original, but I'm hyped up for this thanks to this thread. I made a fudgy cheesecake the other day that was pretty good, so obviously team cake. How does this affect the game?


On the 15th you can duke it out with team cake in the turf war game mode for dessert supremacy. There'll probably be a concert in Inkopolis square with Pearl and Marina while the Splatfest runs as well. In 1 there was a payout of a special currency for fiddling with your gear that depended on how well your team did and how high your rank was, but I'm not sure if they're doing that for the demo.

Maybe it's just me but the roller vertical flick made it super easy to pick off jet pack specials and tag retreating foes.

I didn't break 1600 rating or whatever, please carry me 2000+ goons
It's probably not as bad as you think, the skill on display at that rating was so all over the place you might as well be flipping a coin. I coasted to 1800 and something after breaking past it.

I have a request: during the ink spout event in Salmon Run, the manhole with the gold fish is supposed to have more light coming out of it, and I was wondering if anyone could do a side by side comparison between a regular one and one with a gold fish in it to show me the difference? I'm having trouble telling.

I appreciate that the single player lets you find out which weapon is the worst to use in each level.

it's almost always the roller

Edit: I assume that beating every level with a specific weapon unlocks it at Sheldon's shop, yeah?

Jarogue posted:

I think you meant the Blaster



It's splatling.

E: Also it follows that it should, since you can get the hero shot replica by beating every level with it.

I dunno, I feel like a lot of my Salmon Run success at higher levels has been complete RNG in terms of events. A lot of them flat did not appear until Profreshional and I can tell that from a lot of how other people perform at that rank, they didn't for them either. Better pray the people you are playing with know how the gusher, the griller, the glowfly, or the mother ship events work, because boy howdy you might as well be flipping a coin!

The gusher one is where the manholes you see lying around light up and you have to pop open the correct one to reveal a gold salmonid who will drop eggs if you shoot it (shooting the wrong one spawns a torrent of regulars). Apparently the one with the most light is the correct one but I'll be damned if I can see the difference.

e: I think its quite rare, but because of that a lot of people are gonna struggle to get a handle on it and beat the time limit.

Are there Aviators or Shutter Shades in the game? I just need either of those and I'll be the freshest squid on the block

It's more of an aim first, then fire, then stop once your target is lost or dead, then aim again, style weapon because the tracking is super slow while it's firing.

Can Stingrays do anything about Flyfish (the missile guys?) I've tried a few times but it didn't work out because I suck at aiming and/or I time it poorly and something kills me first.

Yeah, they can kill them, but you have to shoot the little dude in the middle rather than the pods.

Eh, they're not bad. Managed to pull off a 3-man on Profreshional earlier so they're not totally awful. I think the blaster is actually quite good at crowd control because of its piercing, aoe, and ok fire rate.


Also pro tip, on the Spawning Grounds salmon map you can hide in high walls during the goldfly event to get em to swarm underneath you while you're "it." Your team mates will annihilate them.
