Hello friends! Finally made my way over to this thread. I've added the couple of you who added me from their U friends lists too.

Played this back in Jan as well as during the stress tests and love it as much as ever, and happy the new controls didn't seem to take much getting used to. Could very well see myself sinking a similar amount of hours as the first one into this (hundreds) if I'm not careful.

Gone for Ice Cream in the Splatfest although the correct answer is obviously both together because the ice cream makes the cake less dry and it's a delicious combo

Do you need 4 people to play Splatfest with a team? Not working with just my friend and I. Was hoping it'd just auto-connect two more.

I've said this before but drat being able to choose your jump point while waiting to respawn is such an awesome game-changer

No way ice cream isn't winning this Splatfest. All my losses have been to other ice cream teams. Wiping the floor with the cakes.

e: I'm very glad I swapped jump and sprint on BotW cause jump is the same as here

Really tempted to get the Callie/Marie amiibo now dammit

hey did the alternate colours of the main 3 Splatoon 1 amiibo (orange squid etc) have anything different from the usual ones except for the paint job?

I'm assuming it releases on midnight for each specific reason. Japanese players would be fuckin pissed to have to wait until midnight US time, no?

Debating if I want this digital or physical. I can see playing it for a long time, especially with the new content and splatfest stuff happening so often, but I don't have an SD card in my Switch yet so I don't know if it will even fit with the patches and updates all in there on top of the game

Main download is only 3.3gb, so I guess it depends how much other stuff you have.

Are there any clear "must have" abilities? I figure fast respawn and slow their respawn could be useful any others?

Ink refill up or whatever it's called is great, and the one that stops it revealing where you're super jumping to.

I think Ink Up + Ninja Squid + Ninja Jump were the 3 I always used, at least for Turf War. Maybe Swim Speed Up instead of Ninja Squid.

It's almost midnight here! I'm gettin hella sleepy but definitely staying up to play for an hour or so

Going to bed now but Splatoon 2 is the bloody good video game. Got to level 4 so I could stop using the Splattershot Jr and get some fresh duds then played a bit more because of course. First few matches were irritating because I was with awful people who seemed to largely be treating the game like a straight shooter (that they were bad at) but once I quit and re-entered the lobby I got paired up with better people and it was a blast again.

I'm weirded out by the result screen being kills and special kills rather than kills and deaths

It's very Nintendo

I'm awake and ready to splat all day!!!!! Well from like 2pm onwards as I got invited to a mega early Dunkirk screening

When I first remembered this game was out after waking up my heart was filled with probably an embarrassing amount of excitement and joy :3:

Yeah, it's still a really bad system. They seemingly haven't actually changed how online modes work from the first game at all, except for the use of the app, which still seems to only work with private matches and Salmon Run, not going into normal Turf War or Ranked together :( (I hope I'm wrong and someone corrects me)

Good to see 4 x 3 matches are still as common as ever

And that I'm still having the "shoot someone square in the face for essentially two full seconds and nothing happens and then they fire twice and I'm dead" issue :(

I don't mind at all that it's basically an enhanced port but not fixing any of the many issues people have been mentioning for 2 years is utterly ridiculous (and unfortunately typical of Nintendo, but hey)

Maps changing every 2 hours is cool but I really wish they'd made it a 3 map rotation instead of 2. Still having 5 matches in a row on the same map.

So I'm wondering because it's not in the OP, but is league battle the only to play consistently with a friend on a team? You can't team up for turf battles, right?

You can't and it's the goddamn worst loving thing :(

I know I keep complaining (to counteract I will say I loving LOVE THIS GAME and I'm level 12 already and just played my first Salmon Run games while voice chatting with the app and it was a blast and I adore Splatoon 2 ughhhh) but it really is so disappointing. I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't be able to team up with your friends and go into turf war together. It's something every single goddamn person wanted.
