And I believe putting clams in extends the timer, and when their basket closes a big football for them falls right out.

yes


and also there is a break point where you need a lot of clams before you can start scoring points after the first time. It works a bit like the tertiary timer in splat zones, but I can't remember exactly how it works.

The penalty score is just equal to half of points you tossed in (this includes the points you score to clear the penalty buffer).

This also does mean that's it's possible to just give the enemy team a free power clam if the penalty buffer is big enough, so you really don't want to be making potshots at the basket. You want to making big pushes with your team to score a lot of points.

Yeah, that's good advice. It was the math I didn't remember. Half? It means that after a really big push where you get 60 points or something, it's probably best to play defensive until and unless you get a huge opportunity like a team wipe

I use Ink Saver Main and Ink Recovery Up basically because I’m terrible at killing people so the best thing I can do is just be constantly turfing

I actually waiver between ever using recovery up or just a second main of saver

I've never done the math partly because :effort: but also partly because I'm not sure how often I'd be swimming vs firing

I really think lots of people have a lovely wifi router and the switches wifi is meh. Having ethernet or having more than the free/$50 router at home would help a lot of people imo.

I moved the Ethernet adapter I had on my WiiU over to my Switch and I very, very rarely have disconnects in Splatoon.

Whether it's Nintendo's "fault" or not is pretty irrelevant when you can spend $10 and have the problem go away

I’m gonna have to hard disagree that spending more of your own money to fix a design flaw is a proper solution.

I mean, I don't know what 'proper' is really supposed to mean in this context, but if my choices are spend $10 one time and fix it or bitch endlessly about it on the internet and still have a bad game experience, I know which is the better solution

If you're in the lookout for a figurine and amiibo don't cut it for some reason, there's a Inkling figma up for preorder.

As for other news, well... let's hope this week features that Nintendo Direct that was postponed last week.

They are cool and well made and reasonably priced for their quality but dammit make something different than what's already an amiibo. If they had any gear I use at all ever I would consider it. They don't.

Increased ink consumption by roughly 14%.
Reduced damage dealt to the Rainmaker barrier by roughly 17%.
Reduced damage dealt to an opponent's umbrella by roughly 20%.
Reduced damage dealt to an opponent's Splash Wall by roughly 20%.

they can't do this. it was legal

The mobility of the ink brush makes it ideal in getting eggs to the basket from grated areas. It's also great in knocking down towers, which you should be doing to keep your team alive.

Still weak as hell at that in a set with the clash blaster


I brush around killing chum and Smallfry, getting eggs, reviving, and making clear travel paths. It's very much a support weapon

Thanks team for going all the way to the edge of the grating on mid-tide outpost and engaging 3 Steel eels and a steelhead as far away from the basket as possible.

Played my first HAZARD LEVEL MAX game last night.

I wasn't looking at the screen when the creepy music started and I was like O.O



Had a good team. Kicked rear end for two waves then got wiped in high tide glowflies third wave. Would MAX again.

I had the strangest match. One of my team discorporeated on the start pad so I was like gently caress a 3 on 4 match... then the entire enemy team disappeared. The three of us still got the entire match to ink literally everything and gently caress around. Got full clout for it, too.




Also the colors are too real and it's pretty gross when I think about it.

Yeah I realized while I was just playing how they do give you some "free" ink when you take one. I never thought about them in terms of turf war before but its pretty cool.

Overall I think the Shifty Stations have been a great experiment
