Let me tell you about true luxury.

I'm really enjoying this game but holy poo poo the people who made it really don't "believe" in quality of life improvements. Lots of counterintuitive stuff, difficult to find information and annoying elements that are actually design choices. Still, way better than ARMS!

By light they mean ARMS is not really a fighter. It doesn't have combos and every attack is functionally a "neutral." Very few strategies dominate high level play and they aren't that interesting (and often amount to cheese).

ARMS plays smoothly that's the only thing I can say about it that is really very positive. It's just very shallow and by shallow I mean empty.

As a first time splatoon player, I find it amazing how many horrible people are who play this game. It's amazing. It's a simple game and yet people are mindnumbingly stupid relative to other games

The very first thing you need to do with this game is to go into the sensitivity settings and find what is best for you. There are settings for handheld or remote, so test whether higher or lower is best and it could immediately improve your game.

The Splatoon world is too interesting to not have a spin-off. Why would anyone even be upset if they did it? So long as it doesn’t slow down development of Splatoon 2 assets or Splatoon 3?

My biggest argument is that it could expand the lore significantly leading to contextual events in Splatoon 2 from things in the possible spinoff.

My guess is that they might be moving to 5v5 mode as a primary competitor mode.

I would hope not , a lot of maps are pretty small already for 8 players and you also run into annoying defensive stalemates sometimes esp. in clam blitz which would be even worse with 10 people. I really couldn't see them doing that . Personally hoping for Splatoon anime , I don't see a sequel announcement this early either with Octo Expansion not yet out the door

Maps would definitely need to be added or expanded for a 5 man version but 5 is an industry standard for a competitive team nowadays. Even Vainglory, the iOS MOBA has a 5v5 mode as it’s primary format.

This basic design is what keeps me going with Splatoon 2. I love how short the matches are.

As dumb and clueless as Nintendo can be, I can’t imagine them adding BR to the actual competitive or casual rotation. If they added it there would be a separate entrance like solo or salmon run. In other words you would never have to play it if you didn’t want to.

Shammypants

The game is about to have a super robust solo mode, already has a fun coop mode, monthly events and casual and ranked competitive modes with league play. It’s a complete game as is but if they did add BR who would complain? The number of players would probably instantly jump by 10%.

Why would Nintendo jump into that red ocean of PUBG wannabes.

The same reason they got into shooters in the first place, $$$

In this case it wouldn’t be the entire game like fortnite or pubg, so if it becomes less popular it won’t matter, they still have their primary modes

I picked Mikey because only the weird kids in elementary school picked Leo/Donny over him

Once again good players in NA simply choose the obviously less popular choice. That’s basically how you win splatfest I guess

Cheating in splatoon would at least take Nintendo down another peg before they release their anti-consumer online services.

Splatfest really drives home how bad p2p is.

"This dude is going to rush me, I'll prefire in the direction he's coming in"

Then the guy rushes you, absorbs all of your bullets and then kills you anyway.

Boy. That doesn't get old after the 1000th time it happens.

I can't wait until they charge for this.

It's one of the reasons there is virtually no competitive scene for this game

This splatfest map rotation really makes for some lopsided matches depending on team weapon choices. Don’t like it.

Im not sure a silly game like splatoon warrants this kind of hair splitting. I never said anything about matchmaking either nor did I say it went up and down. it's a replacement for your overall effort and quality during splatfests that isn't captured by your earned title. Frankly I prefer the old way
