All of you people who choose a side based on the idols and not your own beliefs have been led astray and should repent immediately.

That seems dumb but as a fairly new Nintendo consumer I've quickly learned Nintendo do fuckin' weird poo poo sometimes.

Second one reminds me of early Gorillaz art.

Can GMT players play their Splatfest then wait a bunch of time and then play the US one? Can you have different regions of the same game on the same Switch?

Edit: Is it as simple as make a US/JP Nintendo ID on PC, make a new Profile on the Switch called like '[Name]US', then just link them?

Is there a good writeup for tips for new players on how to play (like how to best take/hold territory, how to make best use of weapons) and how the motion controls work? I love the game but it's super-clear when there's an experienced guy on the other team.

I see what you all were talking about earlier about sometimes not even needing to engage because I'm 100% sure I've won matches when I just checked our own backyard and filled in some gaps for a 2% win.

I get to play in 4.5 hours, and I'm excited. My first order of business is to not be dead last in every battle, if I can accomplish that, I'll be happy
How is that calculated anyway? I see it records usage of specials and kills, does it also record area inked?

How many maps is the full game launching with? I got a little time on the first two but the full two hours on the skatepark/Moray Towers and they felt fantastic.

Hot take: Pearl looks way better in-game when she's actually moving and MCing, Marina looks better in screenshots.

The biggest pieces of real estate I spotted that nobody ever seemed to bother painting were the trees and side-paths in Art Academy, the upper walkways in Starfish Mainstage on top of the catwalks, and the outer sides of the walkways on Moray Towers.

Someone mentioned it earlier but can newbies like me get a reminder of whether or not slopes and verticals count towards turf %? Was it verticals don't at all and slopes count for varying amounts based on angle or something?

Somebody on Reddit recently revealed a program they made that simulates inputs from a fightstick or something over USB to "print" things in splatoon using scripted inputs, though, so at least some of them are probably that.
Got a link for this? My art is garbage but I'd like to have some pics ready to go for splatfest at least.

Edit: New page and it's me, I'm the bad poster.

Did Splatoon 1 eventually get more BGM/tunes (outside of Splatfests I mean)?

I like what we have, I just want more of it.

If neither team gets a touchdown, team that got closest to a touchdown wins.

Urrrrrgh I'd feel a lot better dying to the Blaster if the noise it makes wasn't so drat weedy-sounding.

Only played for a few minutes since it's gone up, how is the new map?
In Control Tower it's really cool, lots of tight/blind corners for ambushes if you stick to the ground but lots of upper catwalks and walls you can cover them from. Really punishes teams who just follow the tower pathway or focus too much on the ground.

It's a series of small challenges but all it's really designed to do is teach you controls.

I think I really like the Forge Splattershot Pro but it feels like it's way better for Tower Control/Rainmaker than Turf War/Zone Control? Trying to get a handle on some new weapons and I love the power and range but not the tiny inkwell.

Aight I'll hang around for a while, thanks. Getting back into it with the 2.0 update and it's still great but it'll be a little time before my skill comes back.

So since most people use the Discord rather than Nintendo's dongle+app setup is there a solution that will let me get both Switch audio and Discord audio/mic into my headphones? I play my docked Switch on my PC monitor if that makes a difference.

I run a 3.5 mm cable from my TV's headphone jack to my PC's line-in jack. You could probably do this from the Switch's headphone jack too.
I'd need a male-to-male cord for that right? I'll give it a shot.

In the meantime I'm using the revolutionary technique of wearing my headset connected to discord on top of switch-connected earbuds in my ears.
