What's up with all the people posting furry poo poo in the square lately, it's extremely un-fresh. Is this the latest meme that's popular with the kids or some poo poo Nephzinho posted:Motion controls are overrated. STIXXXXX. I don't understand how people get S-ranks so quickly, do you guys not get the same people I get in ranked matchmaking where they'll gently caress around painting some random corner of the map while the enemy splatzone counter is ticking away / enemy is riding the tower to our goal

I used my mighty octobrush to wreck fools in the name of Team Ketchup until my hands cramped and my battery ran out, got halfway through Defender. A pretty good night of embarrassing team jizz. It's good to have splatfest back.SeANMcBAY posted:Seriously. For people like that one dude in the Splatoon 1 thread that would always make walls of text cryposting about splatfest every single time it was on, I guess.

Nalin posted:I was worried that I wouldn't be able to contribute that well because I had to play over cellular data, but I went on a roll for my ketchup bros. Got to around 1950 rating before becoming King and trounced on mayo constantly. Had about 2:1 win loss. Much better showing on my part compared to the first splatfest where I got around 1650 rating. It seems that worse bandwidth works in your favor. It felt like my shots were landing a lot more when I was playing out of town on a poo poo connection than when I got back home.

Ended splatfest with three losses in a row on some mediocre-rear end teams after a 12-game winning streak.  Went 31-19 in my last 50 battles, although that doesn't count some of my wins outside the last 50 and most of the losses were against other ketchup teams.

Wendell posted:Did Splatoon 1 introduce new songs over time, or are Off the Hook likely to put on the exact same concert for every Splatfest? They did introduce new songs over time, but not for splatfest, that one had the same one song for every match, excepting the final Callie vs. Marie splatfest that had the Squid Sisters song instead. Splatfest seems to currently have better variety than the regular song rotation, so we're already ahead of the curve in that respect.

Owers posted:Chargers are great against Steelhead, Steel Eel, and Drizzler, what are you talking about. The only instance when a charger is useless is when you're stuck with the loving goo tuber. I haven't found a single place on the current map where you can be close enough to be in range to hit one of those fuckers and not also be getting overrun by creeps.

nerd_of_prey posted:This was me in tower control yesterday. They are past checkpoint 2, why are 2 of you painting the other side of the map!!!! I had a TC match where I singlehandedly wiped out the enemy team like 3 times over and rode the tower to like 5 points, and still lost by knockout because my bumblefuck team members were off in random corners of the map instead of helping me kill the enemy and stop the tower.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Moray Towers is an utter trainwreck dominated by Chargers, or anything that can dump ink into the middle ground really, and has been since it was introduced. It's even worse in Splatoon 2, because for some inane reason the Splat Zones are both in prime Charger-spam no-man's-land. At least they added rails that lead to the prime sniper nests. The only thing I enjoy about that lovely map is riding them up and destroying the chargers who are paying no attention to their surroundings. Escobarbarian posted:So many times I pick up the Rainmaker with 2-3 teammates around me and then they just......don't follow me. Like at all. They kinda just stay where they are, or go dogfight with every other member of the opposing team except the ones who are actually attacking me. I usually get this, but one glorious round we wiped out the enemy team at the start and I was able to paint a path straight to the goal, and after spamming "This Way!" for 5 seconds straight they actually followed it. It made me so proud

Neddy Seagoon posted:Gusher Rounds, however, are a wretched crapshoot. Chances are you're gonna spend far too long looking for the loving thing, even if you know that it's the gusher height (not the brightness) that denotes how close you are. god dammit Why do we still get mistranslations that are completely wrong in 2017? bizarre deformity posted:I held off on ranked until yesterday for some weird reason but anyway Ranked rules although I still don't like Splat Zones very much. Oh, so the amiibo can do things other than saving loadouts? I just figured that since people whined so much about the single player challenges tied the amiibos in S1 that they decided gently caress it, we'll make them practically useless this time. raditts fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Aug 14, 2017 |

Neddy Seagoon posted:If your crew-mates aren't drooling imbeciles, they'll be spamming "THIS WAY" the moment it pops out. My crewmates are always drooling imbeciles who don't loving come when I spam THIS WAY. I downgraded from Profreshional back to Overachiever because of like 5 straight matches with idiots who acted like they somehow never played a Goldie or Mothership round and couldn't be bothered to go around to scoop up the pile of eggs I Stingray'd out of the Goldie, or to shoot the goddamn chinooks. Just left the eggs sitting there. What is it with people that play objective modes yet have no interest in accomplishing the objective? Rainmaker seems the worst about this.

In Training posted:from personal anecdotal experience it's the Luna Blaster Did they make the Luna Blaster slower in this game? I was so excited to use it because it was just an unstoppable force of death on Tower Control in S1, and it seems to shoot so slow now that I could barely get one shot off at an enemy before I got annihilated (the fact that the netcode often makes me explode as soon as an enemy looks at me notwithstanding). Am I just imagining things? It feels almost as slow as the regular Blaster. The Rapid Blaster on the other hand is a really good range weapon, and I hated that one in S1.

That's some lovely invisibility. bizarre deformity posted:There's literally no way to transfer saves between consoles yet, right? If my wife bought that Splatoon 2 bundle, she couldn't move her current save file over to the new console? Just looked this up because I figured no way would they do something this fuckin' stupid especially when you can easily transfer saves on the 3DS... but nope, looks like they can't, at least not for now.

dog nougat posted:I really hope the inkbrush never appears in it again though. Quite possibly the worst possible weapon for SR. It really only seems marginally useful for inking a quick line through the salmon ink. Unless I'm totally stupid (which is probable), it takes at least 2 hits to kill even a chum. If ya see anything beyond a single cohock(?) coming, might as well turn and run cuz you'll be outta ink in the time it takes to knock out, providing the laughably low damage doesn't get you swarmed in the first place. Here's the thing about the octobrush, it's possible to be too close to enemies to do any damage, because the splats when you swing it around don't come out of the brush, they just kinda appear a few feet out. So for maximum effectiveness, keep a little bit of distance between yourself and your target.

Nephzinho posted:Special up power on tentas only increases the targeting reticle, making it easier to hit more people. In practice it doesn't make much of a difference because you're either getting it off fast in combat against 1-2 people for a quick reload/harass/to not lose points or going back to spawn and lining up an easy 4. It doesn't even make the impact spots larger? Lame. It seems pretty worthless in inkjet too, I swear I hit motherfuckers right in their face multiple times with that thing sometimes and they just shrug it right off. Only one that seems useful is the splashdown to make the impact zone bigger, and even then somehow it can be blocked by brellas which is high grade bullshit. Turtlicious posted:Just played against a hacker duo in Ranked, they all had kanji names, and they were able to spam their specials over and over and over, they took the rainmaker to 5, then ran it back and spammed specials repeatedly at us so we couldn't leave spawn. If people have hacked the switch already, maybe they can put their abilities to good and hack up a way to backup save data. raditts fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Aug 19, 2017 |

Fossilized Rappy posted:People in Profreshional still have a strange aversion to killing Flyfish, even after a month of play. Is their thought process that you should just dodge them and focus on more important targets? Usually I've been on some good streaks with profreshional pubbies, but today they seem to have forgotten that you're supposed to kill boss salmonids in general, both so you can get eggs to complete the wave and so you don't get overrun by five Stinger lasers crossing the streams while a thousand Flyfish bombs rain down on you. Also, how do people get to Profreshional rank without knowing how to play Mothership or Gusher rounds? It's infuriating because you can tell within the first 10 seconds or so whether you're going to lose due to not enough eggs.

Longer range seems like the last loving thing the dualies need. The iframes from those goddamn rolls are annoying enough on their own.enojy posted:I think so, but that's me. Unless I've got a bomb super or they're really conveniently located, I skip them -- there is just too much poo poo spawning at Profreshional to worry about saving up ink for a bomb and aiming up, just to take out half of it. It helps that they're one of the easier bosses to avoid completely. If you catch a flyfish right as they open, you should have time to throw a bomb and charge up enough to throw a second bomb. I often wind up having to do that myself. bizarre deformity posted:A lot of people don't realize that sting ray can be the best special in Salmon Run if used properly. Sad. I wish there was an option to express what I yell IRL every time somebody takes the elevator and leaves three people with eggs behind. Inescapable Duck posted:Kinda disappointing that they completely changed Pearl and Marina's personalities in the translation; I thought we'd gotten past this, it's not the 90s anymore, and we've got plenty of examples of how badly that can backfire in the long run. (see Ace Attorney) It's not quite 'calling rice balls donuts' level, but it's going to make a lot of difficult work for the translators in the long run given the Japanese characterisations may develop in obviously different ways than they're prepared to work with. Yeah, it's not the '90s anymore, so you would think people would know after 20 years of dry, literal translations that going that route loving sucks. raditts fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Aug 22, 2017 |

Supercar Gautier posted:Localization teams also work in tandem with the dev team and the original writers, so Treehouse was probably like "Hey we'd like to present Pearl and Marina's personalities this way because it's a dynamic we think NA players will get" and the Splatoon team were probably like "okay thats fine". The myth of the rogue translator desecrating the original text without permission is kind of bullshit. I think there are just some people that wouldn't be happy unless game translations are like those lovely anime subs where 90% of the dialogue is obscure Japanese references accompanied by a paragraph-sized footnote explanation that is neither interesting nor funny.
