After having done nothing but paint floors for 3 days I can pretty confidently say Splatoon, give or take mechanical refinements made in 2, might be the best designed shooter since TF2 all the way back in '07.
>distinct gameplay style sets it apart from most other shooters, with unique variants on capture-the-flag, payload, king of the hill gamemodes >map rotation system keeps people from playing the same fucking maps all the time and doing stuff like 24/7 2fort/Dust2 >even if you're fucking useless in a straight up shootout, literally painting the floor makes you useful to contributing to your team's longterm strategy >super jump mechanic lets you get into the action fast >every weapon class has a distinct silhouette, character pose and projectile appearance so you know what you're squaring off with >weapon types add a light "class-based element" without drifting into hero shooter territory, since all movement mechanics besides dualie-dodge roll is universal >grenades/subweapons use the same ammo meter as the gun, so it ensures it being a constant element of play, but uses enough of the ammo meter to keep the player from spamming it with impunity without having to reload >full congruity of every element in the setting, mixed with a pretty developed setting and lore/backstory >you're actually penalized for dying with your special meter being drained a bit >every main game mode is objective-focused so people are discouraged from getting deathmatch-happy >community engagement with many detailed updates, and splatfests bringing a fun, low-stakes temporary faction element >PvE mode, Salmon Run, doesn't pad it out with weak ass opening rounds, gets one warm up round then floors it for the other two rounds so it makes or breaks you, and more experienced teams will get harder objectives, plus quasi-randomized loadouts keeps people from getting complacent with going COD Zombies with the meta guns >DLC actually had single player content

Can't take this game seriously with the faggots it attracts. And knowing that you're playing with these faggots too.
Atleast with TF2, it wasn't just ALL faggots, like this game. You could respect it a little as it also attracted a mature audience, and the ability for modders to incorporate their own game modes/mods is probably why it's still being played even today.
Joshua Baker
I agree but Nintendo internet makes me want to die
Benjamin Wright
TF2 is a fucking brony/furry/autism magnet, have some self awareness you imbecile
imagine if it had mouse and keyboard controls instead of having to choose between useless thumbstick aiming or obnoxious motion aiming >i-it feels just like a mouse no
Kevin Gomez
I absolutely agree with you I’d say the only real other game that can make that claim in my book is Titanfall 1/2
Hudson Green
>imagine if it was slower and required less skill Sounds like shit. Fast movement options demand fast and accurate interfaces
Andrew Moore
I love yuri. Yuri squids are great. Ikachan daisuki
>nintentoddlers think splatoon is fast nigga this game is sluggish as shit compared to quake
Daniel Flores
So can someone give me the rundown on splatoon 2?
Did they kill the servers already? Because that's what pissed me off about the first one >finally buy a wii-u >two splatfests later the servers are killed
The servers never died in 1 either, idiot. Both games are very much “alive” and people just like to say they’re dead to shitpost.
Jace Ramirez
>servers are killed
What? No, the splatfests are over, the game is still playable.
Hell, Splatoon 1 is still playable.
Easton Sanchez
1 still has players but thanks for shitposting
Parker Davis
The game is still online but your only options from now until the end of NSO is Turf War or robot JP simulator. Last Splatfest ended a day ago and there's no further plans for unique events like them, nor are there any plans for another Splatoon.
Grayson Bennett
Everytime I've plugged it in since the servers have been down.
Cameron Robinson
He’s just one of those “must shit on Nintendo daily or my life has no meaning” faggots
Austin Brown
You’re full of shit. We’re biting, are you happy?
Camden Williams
Can they just release splatoon 2 for PC already so we can get an actually good multiplayer game?
Matthew Diaz
>Turf War >Salmon Run >Clam Blitz >Tower Control >Private Splatfests
Yeah tiny amount of options there.
Carson Hill
It’s good now. Giving you a mouse doesn’t magically make it better and a mouse would be way too slow for this game.
Jonathan Clark
Yeah but I don't want to pay for a Splotoon Machine with certified Splatoon Internet. I don't care about not using a mouse, I would not play anything else.
Jace Lopez

Nicholas Myers
Agreed, but i stopped playing because fuck NSO
Logan Rogers
What are the good weapons? How the fuck do I git gud? Sometimes I get 1k+ points even when we lose and sometimes I just get instakilled by everyone I run into in 0.2 seconds
Splattershot Pro variants are top tierwhore-tier weapons, since they mix great damage output and range with a pretty good firerate. The most popular one as far as I've seen, which I'm particularly keen on too, is the Kensa Splattershot Pro cause it gets the basic splat bomb and booyah bomb specials. That might be what kills you in .2 seconds if somebody autism'd up their outfits to buff up damage. The Dualie Squelchers(particularly their custom version) are probably the most popular of the dualie weapons and have been pretty consistently favored since their inceptions. The NZaps are pretty great, not quite as fearsome output as the Splattershot Pro but it makes up for it for better spread for turfing and more judicious ammo usage. The regular Splattershot family, and even the starter Junior versions are all pretty reliable too. I think shooters are a good place to start out if you're trying to get a good feel for what weapon or role suits you, before moving into other weapon families like the sloshers or rollers.
Honestly, much like Call of Duty, the "middle-of-line" shooter weapons have been pretty consistently favored, much like TF2's Soldier, as a "does everything good enough" kind of role.
>Splatting's a good job, woomy. Challenging work, out of doors. I guarantee you'll never go hungry, cause as long as there's an unpainted surface left on the planet, somebody is gonna want something inked.
Sure But why would you make it even slower by locking the speed and accuracy at which a player can react to just the joystick values? The best thing about the game is that it ends up being faster and more reactive than it might otherwise have been if it was just typical shooter controls because you can make both precise adjustments and significant movements with gyro controls It’s the best way to play an shooting game on a game pad if it’s an option.
Thomas Davis
Well that’s kind of your issue since I already have 400 hours of play in Splatoon 2 Literally more than an hour of quality, enjoyable gameplay per dollar spent
Brayden Adams
The material effects in this game are really impressive
It seems like a lot of people are realizing how great Splatoon is only after the final splatfest It's a shame
Splatoon was one of those games that I picked up on a whim thinking I wouldn't like it because it was for kids and I hate multiplayer shooters, then ended up playing it for two days straight barely being able to peel myself away from the controller long enough to eat or shower
You can leave the killing to your allies and just focus on the objective whether that be holding a position, moving a object, or literally just shooting the floor to cover more territory for your team.
Adrian Foster
>being rewarded for shooting the floor and console aiming in general seems cool as a concept tho, also fuck the clothes that give stats, everyone should have the same ability and it should just be cosmetic
Logan Rodriguez
I generally would put it down after a particularly infuriating ranked match But it always brought me back in Also, Salmon Run is scary af
Adam Price
Ranked mode always starts you at the bottom tier and Turf War is not serious. There's no danger of letting anyone down.
Camden Price
i reach level 10 in 2 days and i hate games like overwatch and tf2 so probably also the community isn't toxic and full of angry incels and trannies
Female inkling x female octo is best Agents 3 and 8 and pearl and marina are in a happy interspecies relationship and it's cute and Canon
Elijah Price
Honestly the stat boost is pretty trivial, shaving off fractions of a millisecond in a game where TTK is already pretty low. Even all the Japanese teams I've seen with the meme builds of everything made to boost speed can be taken to task with good aim and cooperation.
Yes, absolutely. I don't like shooters or multiplayer games and it hooked me instantly.
Jose Mitchell
There's a decent amount of content in story mode and a coop player vs enemy horde mode that can get you acclimated to the game's mechanics and different weapon types.
Marie mentions octo pie in Splat 1, so it's probably a food that exists in-universe.
Alexander Mitchell
its more or less stated they are giving downgraded designs of real weapons to the public youth to train them in these games so they don't come close to losing incase of another war
Game aint dead. Its just over. We can still play online and watch our cethlolis hips sway.
Easton Evans
It's been obvious that the guns inklings use in Turf War aren't military-grade ever since the amiibos for Splat 1 came out, and all the hero weapons were called "replicas." I'm wondering how you got the idea that Turf War is a scheme to militarize the population.
Lincoln Sullivan
every single splatoon thread >game is dead >biting the bait >yuri >waah where is keyboard mouse support >yuri that's it everyone go home
Nolan Martin
less militarize and more "make sure the population is battle ready" type is implied in the lore of Splatoon 1 with the scrolls. >Octoling blitzkrieg the inkling turf early in the war do to them being lazy sleep ins but lost because their war machine were powers by electric cords and the main cord was pulled out causing them to lose momentum and giving the inklings room to counter attack and win at the last second. > turf wars were inspired by those battles and fashion corps. began making the different versions of the weapons to sell to the crowds and fuel the eco of the new inkling society
Grayson Sanchez

Jack Lewis
This is the only one I got. Shame I have zero experience in making this sort of thing because there's so much more variety in terms of cute faces and fanart to use now.
Legit question for the thread, how do I stop getting so mad at video games? This isn't even a specific Splatoon question (though it is applicable) but man I just get so fucking angry when things aren't going right in games and it ruins my experience sometimes. Like I don't throw autistic fits and break shit but I do tend to yell a lot. I don't wanna be like this man.
If you're anything like me, you got to a point where all the incomplete missions offered were goddamn frustrating in some way. At that point I put the game down for a while and when I came back I had way less trouble. I think some missions tried my patience and I repeated stupid mistakes. Just keep clearing the map and you'll get there
I'm not speaking from experience, so this is just general advice: Take frequent breaks. Outbursts of anger like that usually build up. Take 5 minutes and walk away. Also, it may sound silly, but talk to yourself. Out loud (maybe quietly if others are in earshot). Not so much with the swearing, but identify the problem and have a conversation with yourself about how to get past it.
Jacob Gutierrez
Where my squelcher bros at?
Henry Perry
>never started actually getting mad at games until Splatoon What did these assholes do to me?
Not OP but that has no effect on game mechanics and is fan art
Blake Gutierrez
Splatoon's lag and incosistency makes nearly every death feel like bullshit. Half the time you feel like you died to a guy who isn't even aiming at you who popped out of nowhere from a nickel-sized spot of his ink he shouldn't be able to fit in.
David Cruz
Really? Outside of dumbasses that won't deposit their fucking egg in salmon run I don't find much to get upset about in Splatoon. I'll lose, I wish I didn't, but it doesn't feel unfair. And unlike games that treat competitive ranking like a second full time job Splatoon is pretty easy going.
Don't forget when you shoot a guy 20 times and he doesn't die.
It's the complete opposite for me. I get mad as fuck at myself, teammates, and the enemy team in regular gameplay. I play salmon run because I find it more fun and relaxing. At the most I'll get mad at my team for not getting eggs but I don't find myself resisting the urge to yell.
But I've never felt the sort of rage Splatoon matches have induced in me before. Fighting games, RTS, FPS, TPS, racing games. I've run the gamut of mulitplayer titles and genres and it took until Splatoon to turn me into Yea Forums-tan.
The most I've done is punch my bed or pillow, because they can take it.
I'm currently stuck on the ones where I have to shoot all of the balloons while on an automatic small platform, and if I don't shoot them all, I get stuck behind a wall and die. I keep running out of ammo at the worst times, or get knocked off by an obstacle. It sucks.
David Bennett
splatoon genuinely angers me as well but the only thing that can get me close to as mad is mario kart when a friend or younger sibling is acting like a smug prick the whole time, damn it feels good to destroy their ass. like when playing mario kart on the wii there would be copious amounts of yelling and friendships were tested
Oh, don't forget the part where you can't step in even a tiny spot in enemy ink without immediately stopping even with IRU, but a guy on the enemy team without it can go through your ink like it doesn't even fucking exist. The reason Splatoon makes me so mad is that it never feels like I'm in control, even when I'm consistently at the top of the scoreboard for nearly every game. I could be doing everything right and then die to a roller who was facing the opposite direction and didn't even raise his roller on my screen before he killed me. I could be doing everything right and then I die because an enemy using a weapon with a shorter range than mine somehow kills me outside of his range because his game said he was closer to me and my game didn't. At least in other shooters I feel like I have control over a situation and me winning or losing is dependent on my skill, and I can learn from my mistakes. But not here. I mean, what the fuck am I supposed to learn from when a laggy Japanese roller kills me the same frame he pops out of the ink on my screen? What the fuck am I supposed to learn from when I die to a brella 3 seconds after I killed him? There's literally nothing I could've done to alter those situations. You get fucked over regardless of what you do. This game's netcode is its biggest flaw.
Parker Wilson
We all have that one guy >Rub it in your face if they win >When far ahead of everyone, will stop right next to the finish line just to fuck over whoever is closing in behind them with whatever item they save till the end.
Wyatt Johnson
extremely based and very redpilled
Josiah Russell
The Bamboozler line literally just being a fucking bamboo cane with iron sights and nothing like the ink tank on other weapons always gets me.
It's a shame they never let us take screenshots like the promo style ones. There could have been so much more done with the Screenshot feature. Hell saving Replays to get nice screenshots in battle should have been a must for a game about looking fresh.
>Get game on launch >Have fun, win some games, lose some >Stop playing for a few days because of reasons >Come back on >Everyone is 15+ levels ahead of me >Play games, always lose >Try other strategies, or helping teammates >Keep losing >Get frustrated, not having fun, drop game Fuck this game. Had the same issue in the first one, but so much fucking worse. If you're not constantly playing the game at all hours to level up/git gud then you're going to lose 100% of the time Splatfests were even worse, because the pro players in ranked came out of the woodwork and kick your ass without even trying
Cameron Butler
That all regions that aren't JP get ignored for Splatoon shit. To this day I still look for this damn case.
I'll never not seethe that they saw fit to nerf the Kensa Undercover Brella for daring to show its face in comp. I mained that shitty weapon type since the day the first one dropped and when they finally produce a half-decent take on the concept they promptly snatch it away from me. And then on top of that they think Dualies need an across-the-board Main Power damage up effect.
Reminder in case you didn't notice, the Japanese 7-11 gear that was released two fucking years ago is finally fucking available out west. If you didn't get a code with the Splatfest shirt(Europeans) you can just get it off My Nintendo for 100 silver points.
>tfw will never have the Octo Support Hoodie I really hate how they region lock shit.
Eli Williams
So how will retired off the hook feature in splat 3? What genre of music will they be in? Will pearl have left marina because her solo career took off?
I always wonder if that really was the weapon used in the old war. By the look of thing in game yes but that would mean the squidbeak squad was running round with what amount to a 2 shot kill short range rifle and idk what modern day weapon comes close to that
Grayson Allen
Its not the lesbian part that's gay, its the anime.
Juan Kelly
Probably a battle rifle, like the old WW2/Cold War stuff, like a Garand or an M14 or an FAL.
Going off Sheldon's description, it's a modernized version so Cuttlefish's version would be something like an M14, and the ones you can get in game are like the modern versions, the Mk 14 or M21/M24.
Weaponry becomes more sophisticated decades if not a century later, with militaries moving towards organizing ground forces around the shooter class(basically the assault rifle, with its shorter-range versions being submachine guns), the splattershots and the octo shot.
What's the best kind of Rapid Blaster, and what makes it best?
Ayden Ross
Glooga are less degenerate than other Dualies
Parker Gonzalez
REMOVE BAMBOOZLER in salmon run
Jeremiah Moore
Imagine not being able to properly utilize a bamboozler in fucking Salmon Run. There are weapons that just plain suck in the mode, but bamboozler isn't one of them.
Austin Ross
Kensa for aesthetic, Deco for loadout.
Leo Taylor
I've only had people be shits when I was playing them in Smash. It doesn't take long to shut them up. Smash ain't shit when you play fighting games.
Deco doesn't do anything differently in terms of main function, but it has suction bomb and bomb rush which I think are more broadly appealing than the other two variants.
Mason Reyes
Did they remove area control and rainmaker? Also for single player people Octo Canyon and Octo Expansion give some stuff, especially for the 100% completion autists.
Eli Thomas
The regular version is Ink Mine and Splat Bomb Launcher. Deco is Suction Bomb and InkJet.
Colton Harris
>wears R/B 3D glasses >the video she's watching isn't even in formatted for it.

>bought all dualies >only use dualies >will never 100% the base game cause I only keep dualies My only non-Dualies are the default weapons the game gives you and OE weapon. I don't know why I can never bring myself to not buy non-Dualie weapons.
What if Splat 3's campaign had Octavio as a midway boss, before pulling a Hades and the leader of the Salmonids steps in?
Kevin Sullivan
I'd hope with octolings integrating into Inkopolis that they don't bother with "octarians are back, here we go again" plot and they introduce more species.
Octarian grunts can still be an enemy type, but I'd rather they go with the undeveloped salmonids or somebody else at the outset.
Isaiah Carter
>obnoxious motion aiming lmoa@your life
Luke Brown
It will probably relate to the Salmonoids. Best way to get Octavio to be team up with Cuttlefish again is to give them a common enemy that threatens each world. Plus I'm sure Cuttlefish would be happy to be friends with Octavio again
Jackson Hernandez
I will probably never beat agent 3
Gabriel Rodriguez
Biggest issue with that is that Octavio and the Salmonids aren't exactly enemies.
Easton Jenkins
I really quick wanna mention the splatoon mods on Garry's Mod. It works surprising well, and if someone really wanted too, the could make an entire gamemode out of it with servers, hopefully avoiding Nintendo DMCA's
>haven't gone back to do every single station with every weapon I'm not sure I have the patience. It'd probably still be easier than getting all the hero weapons, though.
Neither were the Inklings and Octarians before the great Turf War. But we see how ravenous and barbaric the Salmonids are. I doubt it's much time before they turn on the Octarians.
Anthony Cox
have you done the rails station with the bamboozler fren? it's not a whole lot of fun
Nigga, Salmonids depend on the Octarians for their war machines. Mr Grizz would be the most likely candidate to drive squids and octos together, since Octarians depend on the power eggs he steals from the Salmonids.
Aaron Price
I bitch about it every opportunity I get. I did every single station with the "hardest" weapons available. Some were easier than others, but this was the absolute worst.
What about that one level with the Luna Blaster and the limited ink?
Lucas Smith
gotcha, i was gonna say if you havent done every weapon with every level that one is a nightmare but at least you got one of the worst out of the way the other being the blaster in the box matching station there's a very small reward for doing every weapon on every station, it being under the spoilers in case you actually go through with doing it and dont wanna see it. it's a small kamabo corp. gold stamp always on your map in the corner
that one wasnt bad at all, especially with the extra ink refill in the boxes to the left
I did that shit in one go. I didn't even remember it until you brought it up.
That sounds like a pretty dumb reward, but at least it's inoffensive and I won't lose sleep over it. I'll still probably go back and do it eventually just because I loved OE that much.
You know what? Screw it, I'll just start right now. I'm still on my Splatoon high, I want something to do with my little veemo. Might as well scratch that completionist itch.
thats the spirit! as for me im probably gonna go read some CYOA shit and sleep. I'll see you next time, hope these threads can curb the want of splatoon until more news
Alright, time for the real question How the actual FUCK did the Octo Expansion turn out so good? Having playable Octolings is great and all, but most of the levels and the boss battles were pretty much the rewards themselves
Thomas Sullivan
It basically got out-classed by the Slattershot Pro once you could get its damage up to 49.9 moderately easily.
Henry James
>Reminder At least is something, thanks
Luis Perez
I'm sure of a thread will be here during tomorrow. I'm just busy browsing Yea Forums at the moment
See you around, Callie lover. This thread will probably die overnight but that's how the weeknights go. There's always next time.
Each level was made to specifically be beaten with a specific weapon, or at least specific set of weapons. They could tailor each stage to the strengths and weakness of said weapons to create actual challenges and fun levels to beat. Plus the entire ending part is ridiculously kino.
I would put the odds at it being good high after the reception OE got. Lackluster single player was something everyone was complaining about in 2, despite the fact they should've known the reason was because they wanted Splatoon on Switch as fast as possible after the failure of the Wii U. With OE they took the time to craft a unique and wonderful experience, and people welcomed it with open arms. That should tip them off that even though it's a multiplayer focused game, the single player shouldn't be ignored.
My gf has like 700 hours on splatoon2. Waaaay more than me. I love her a lot and she's awesome. Having a cute gf that loves vidya is literally living the dream.
I would say it should be classified as YA at least. The plot does involve the extinction of the entire human race and the 2 races of cephlopods that succeed us. They can kill even better then we can.
Hudson Bailey
They don't get any bonus while sloshing. You still run faster, just not while firing.
Wyatt Lee
based af as fuck
Henry Reed
You sure? Because max speed sloshing machine seems to be zooming when firing than without any
But that would actually decrease its TTK. It could just paint better or be more ink efficient.
Aiden Murphy
what... children aren't allowed to look at perfectly covered ass, especially when said ass is a part of some character? Honestly it's your problem you associate it with sex.
Alexander Howard
I don't ship these two at all beyond being besties. and yet it's still more believable and genuine than korrasami
Sloshing machine is a little different, mainly due to its animation I think. I was talking about regular Slosher though, which in actuality does get a slight bonus, but it's basically not even worth slotting even at max.
Jose Stewart
It's believable because Nintendo hasn't said anything about it.
Hudson Green
Why would you want to turn it into an even faster rapid blaster? I mean the only other change you can really make is to increase the bullet velocity like the Jet Squelcher does.
John Sanchez
Just noticed that myself. Completely useless. Even the bloblobber could have its uses if it wasn't better spent on boarding main power up
Justin Baker
What does a velocity buff do anyway? I know the jet shoots a few inches further but that's it.
Carter Morris
Who cares if korrasami is believeable or not. It's fucking hot.
It lacked any kind of reasonable build up or showing those two together. Then they had to that mako bait and switch for no reason at the end.
Jacob Turner
You forgot the most important part >Gyro controls that literally redefine console FPS and allow the platform to approach a mouse in accuracy rather than being stuck in stick hell Splatoon might unironically be the most important milestone in console FPSs.
Jack Hill
Which triple set of pures should I work on next? Ink recovery up or ink saver sub?
It's sufficient. With relatively big hitboxes and no hitscan weapons it's more about leading and tracking than pinpoint aim.
Parker Scott
>Lol waffle control
I respect people's control preference but I just can't aim with analog sticks anymore. screw that completely.
William Cruz
>waffle Stupid auto correct. Waggle
Logan Bennett
I wish mr.grizz gave away snails
Owen Hernandez
Makes you hit faster at max range. It's just another slight bonus over only reducing shot spread.
Nathan Cox
>slightly tilting your controller to get subtle hair-width movements >wagglan Wagglan can burn in bad controller hell for the rest of eternity but gyro aiming that complements a normal control scheme is a legitimately great addition for any shooter, and I wish more games provided that option.
Nathan Lee
It's gyro, not motion control. I doubted it at first but it feels extremely natural within an hour of use. You literally just tilt the controller in the direction you want to aim, and tilt it as much as you want to turn in that direction. If anything it's more intuitive and natural than mouse controls because it's on the same plane of movement rather than moving back and forth to represent up and down movements. It sounds like waggle nonsense but once you experience it you really can't go back.
Kevin Sullivan
Adding to this, you still use sticks for large movements and turning for walking around, so it's not like you're killing your wrists constantly jerking back and forth, but it's for the fine corrections and precision after the sticks get you in the general area of where you want to aim.
Jayden Ward
No I was alluding to how some people still call gyro waffle controls even though it's not the case at all.
John Nelson
I'm still imagining them adding some other methods of getting snails. The crane game in the square is still out of order, and it could easily be added to GrizzCo as a super-rare bonus.
I weep for players getting this after all the splatfests are done. Trying to increase gear slots now requires too much effort unless they gives the option to use money again
Luke Ward
Vanilla is my baby, it's a hard sell in current meta but I just love it too much to drop.
Charles Campbell
I like it. It has a "Great War" feel to it that still makes sense within the setting and aesthetic of the game. Splatoon 1 Great Turf War prequel when?
Luke Williams
They actually do now, but the only slosher that benefits is Sloshmo because all others are too slow.
Nathaniel Bennett
Throwback splatfest that only lets you use bamboozlers.
Blake Russell
>be more ink efficient. That's ISM's job, and Pro already has high affinity for it. Better inking is a great idea though. If you also give it high affinity for RSU like splatlings have it'll be a really cool weapon, gear select screen versitality isn't something we have a lot of in Splatoon.
imo, splatoons not the kind of game that's deep enough to get mad at. if you die or lose it's usually because the other team is composed entirley of tryhards with perfect gear and 9999+ hours, or they're all using the really stupidly good meta weapons, or they're laggy, or your teammates are bad or disconnected. I can't really take it all that seriously in the same way I can fighters or Smash so I don't get all that mad personally
The fact that you think this, shows you play nothing but Nintendo games. Get a PC, there are tons of shooters out there. Splatoon isn't even close to being one of the best.
Owen Hall
I have played tons of shooters on PC. Splatoon is still one of the best I've played.
Brayden Brown
The only inconsistency gyro has is its tendency to chew up quick abrupt motions, otherwise if you do same motions you will consistently aim in the same places if they are calibrated right.
Samuel Foster
I must be one of the only people that really enjoys point controls. I had a blast with red steel's multiplayer
Ah yes, the kdis game with no voice chat, shitty controls, and a toddler community shooting paint. Just admit you have autism and thats why you like it.
William Martinez
git gut
Joshua Brooks
Everybody on Yea Forums is autistic. If you're seriously claiming you're not even though you stay on Yea Forums that'd be even more pathetic, wouldn't you think?
Gear is actually close to useless and is easy to get, meta is also useless since the secondary and specials compensate in most weapons, lag is only gainst japanese otherwise is to little to make an effect, you are just bad at he game and are triying to justify why you are bad, you are the kind of guy that think a ms is that big difference in online gaming

Just mindlessly looking at the ground and painting without being able to talk, or coordinate, is retarded.
William Peterson
>Mariefag >Against order Remove yourself from the premise
Having to talk is just because you need to get carried, otherwise you already know the meta on any game and know what to do in every situation, that's why is useful when you play with the same people but you really are carrying or getting carried at that point, talking in a game where you respawn takes from skill and passes it to basically cheating, you don't need anything to say besides I died to take away the advantage of killing form behind, where there's already a dedicated button in splatoon 2

Yeah I don't like multiplayer shooters but I love Splatoon. Even if you are shit at aiming you can use rollers or brushes or play at the lower ranks. No one will really get mad about shitting it up unless you are playing at the very top tier or just hanging around spawn the whole match.
Joshua Peterson
Forming a strategy around your teammates and the info you have is a skill in itself. I say, nothing matches that moment when the silent teamwork just clicks and everyone knows exactly what they should do.
Hudson Edwards
Wow, what a moron. You think communicating is getting carried? You've obviously never actually played any shooter that actually required strategy. You just mindlessly stare at the floor with other 12 year olds.
I just started using the N-zap 85 and I'm fucking loving it. I've been a near exclusive user of Splat Dualies, but decided to give this weapon a try and it's amazing.
It's clicking rather quickly and I'm absolutely racking up kills with this beauty. Suction bombs are great, never used those till now either. But I think the biggest thing I've noticed is how amazing Ink Armour is. I'll get it a handful of times a match and it can swing things in our favour so damn much. Taking a moment to ink some turf to build the meter as opposed to pushing the objective is legitimately useful when you're able to tank an extra shot.
Dominic Nguyen
Not them but I'm honestly find with Splatoon having no voice the chat. The community overall is nice and chill. The last thing I need is hearing idiots scream in my ear constantly, loud music, or babies crying
Jacob Lewis
Gear capsules can be converted into chunks and cash, it's a 50% chance to get an empty piece that you can cash in for 4k and you get 2-3 capsules per run, averaging 5k per run. Add the fact salmon run has much higher win rate than regular modes and you get a boatload of cash and chunks, especially when you get 700+ rank.
John Ward
>or babies crying Thats the risk you run when you're playing a game made for children.
Elijah Butler
Lol, strategy is what you need when you are getting carried or are losing, you obviously don't have skill and need constantly to get told what to do, the need for a strategy is what makes it carryng, in fact there's cero fps where talking is used before losing or to carry someone, go ahead and try to tell me one use
Connor Rodriguez
Why are you seething in a thread about a game you don't have for a console you don't have?
Mason Lee
You're legitimately retarded. Are you saying teams who play e-sports are getting carried cause they communicate? You have no idea what you're talking about, you play babys first shooter and think you have any clue as to whats going on.
Jonathan Hall
People who are skilled at the game do just fine without communication, the problem is that with the ranking system it has even the top rank is diluted by timmies and finding those skilled people is rare. S1 didn't have that problem, S+ actually gave kids playing on autopilot the boot.
Angel Watson
>you don't need strategy to win Wow, thanks for confirming this game is utter shit lol
Anthony Gray
in FPS they are always carring the weaker reatard, that's why even in fighting torunaments giving advice is banned
Levi Turner
>that's why even in fighting torunaments giving advice is banned Thats coaching, as in, someone who isn't playing, and able to sit back and observe everything, giving advice after a game. Not communicating with your teams you retarded ESL.
Angel Martinez
strategy with teammates not the meta
Landon Mitchell
Splatoon 2 has voice chat though
Mason Ward
Gayest post ITT. First post WORST post.
Benjamin Hill
One of Splatoon's problems is that at its core it's designed with no communication in mind. Primarily because of the amount of information it throws at you to compensate, on one hand you aren't baisically playing blind like you would any other shooter with comms off, but on the other when you can share info you saturate the channel and baisically know everything about the enemy team at all times. This makes the game way too fast for its own good, which in turn makes explosively offensive strategies prevail over almost everything else. One of the most popular guns in tournaments right now is Tent, a shield with a gun attached that stalls the game to at least try to make other strats viable, and even then it benefits pushy offensive teams just as much.
Angel Hill
All current FPS are basically dumbed down there's not a really competitive one that is not casualized, also e-sports lol
Camden Green
Coaching is what communicating is for otherwise there's no need of it
Yes. Don't let "no more Splatfest" autists get to you; the game is still pretty fun. The fandom is pretty nice, but be aware that there are a ton of trannies and furries.
Jaxon Ross
I have 2000+ hours in TF2 and 1000+ in both Splatoon 1 and 2 and I have to say that I fucking hate Splatoon. Nothing in the game feels satisfying, the gear is a needless RNG shitshow, Salmon Run being gated behind pointless timeframes is retarded, and above all else it controls like ass.
Hudson Parker
>Favorite special from the 1st game being reduced to a temporary event thing
You ever realize how fun a weapon you previously ignored is. I'm having that feeling with the jet currently. The raw range on this thing is so satisfying and 3 purse of main power up is near splat charger range
The blasters and the bloblobbers. It just never felt right at first, I should be covering a shitload of territory with one click of the shoulder button, or I should be spraying shit out if it's an automatic weapon. Once I broke free of that comfort zone they became a joy to use.
>articles say they havent even started on splatoon 3 >just had their last event So what the fuck are they doing now then? And can I pick up Splatoon 2 now without missing much? I'm getting a Switch when the extended battery life one comes out.
Henry Perry
>So what the fuck are they doing now then? Animal Crossing.
>And can I pick up Splatoon 2 now without missing much? Obviously all you're missing out on are splatfests, but the multiplayer content and community is still all there.
Ayden Cruz
>even if you're fucking useless in a straight up shootout, literally painting the floor makes you useful to contributing to your team's longterm strategy I don’t think this is true. In Splatoon 2 anyway, I think the game became way more kill-focused.
Charles Long
/pol/tards are so fucking cringey
Isaiah Peterson
The gold points expires one year later, still pretty bullshit tho
Leo Phillips
Kills were always important, but you can always get away with using an aerospray or some kind of roller/brush, how can someone fuck that up?
Kayden Davis
top kek
Zachary Jackson
apparently these guys are like a hive mind similar to how they are in real life. They are interesting because by canon they are everywhere and they have there own langue and society in the Splatoon world but they live with inklings like a background race
Andrew Wood
Yeah, when I got bored of using shooters in the splatfest I just whipped out a roller and just painted the shit out of turf, then popped a high mobility special like the roller just to trick the enemy team into chasing me and ignoring my team pushing up their front line.
Didn't even get any kills but damn if I wasn't painting over 1000p every round. Pretty beaucoup when added to the victory bonus.
I'm still waiting for the guy who promised an user x Marina story to deliver.
Christopher Reyes
Note that you never shoot down at the floor on purpose. It inks less than just shooting forwards. It's more like you contribute to map control even if you miss a fuck ton.
tbqhwy, these threads are still too fast for my liking.
Cameron Roberts
Nothing we can do about the speed unless we did a Thanos and snapped half of Yea Forums away. I don't think I have seen a thread last two days while on Yea Forums, it's common, and you can have a thread last 8 days even
Clam blitz is the hardest one to coordinate with randoms. Splat zones and tower control are significantly easier. Rainmaker is somewhere in between. The rules to clams are less convoluted once you're used to them. Same goes for all the modes. None of them are "standard" so there's a bit to get used to in each one. All of the rules are there for a reason.
Chase Allen
>implying anyone can find the sources from Twitter images half the time when nobody tags anything and 90% of reverse image searches fail or just lead to dozens of pinterest/amino pages that don't have the source either
Brody Allen
>90% of reverse image searches fail or just lead to dozens of pinterest/amino pages that don't have the source either Only if you use google like a complete retard.
Zachary Collins
so basically if you're playing the euro version and you missed the very expensive t-shirt pre-orders that were open for like 50 or 60 hours and started on arbitrary date that wasn't announced in advance you're fucked and have to pray you find a code on ebay?
iqdb and saucenao never lead to anything from Twitter, unless someone managed to put in a booru or the artist has a Pixiv account that they actually upload to. And that never happens these days. yandex doesn't do jackshit either. Go and try to find the source for using a reverse image search tool, I dare you.
Robert Myers
Anyone have some Chaos victory art?
Bentley Thomas
twitter.com/mozu_hayanie/status/754878206994362370 Look, it can be really difficult to find the source of an image for people, even with reverse image search, especially with twitter. I'd rather not have people go through that hassle.
I'm not a puritan, and love and lust are very different things. Love doesn't exclude anything sexual, but lust is usually just sexual desire with no regard for anything else. Most don't love Marie. They just lust after her because they think she's hot.
But user, if you truly love Marie, shouldn't you satify her sexual urges as well?
David Thomas
It's like you haven't even read anything I've said.
Asher Johnson
I too have learned to appreciate blasters after the splatfest or at least clash. Not that good at trufing and it's range is short but it sure is great is great at splatting. Putting dodge spammy dualie mains in their place is the best feeling.
I learned to appreciate squidbeakons during the final fest
Wyatt Cook
Why is pearl looking at marina lewds?
Levi Powell
I already appreciated them since i used sub power up octo brush. I learned most of my teammates completely ignore them and then we get spawn camped with no hope of recovery because they never destroyed them
Aaron Miller
I hear something going to happen to shellendorf? What's up with that?
Juan Ramirez
They're renovating it to be a better map. Hopefully it actually becomes a better map.
Colton Adams
They're doing a stage remodel this late in the games life? Wow
Levi Perry
Only because just about every Japanese player was begging for it. They fucking hate that map.
Elijah Reyes
Really? Can't say I've ever had too many issues there beyond taking the roof without a roller variant or run speed up can be rather slow
Nathan Lewis
do you guys think we'll get new idols for the next one? or will they re-use the four we got now? what are the chances we get a male idol pair?
Gabriel Diaz
Literally everytime they announced a stage renovation on Twitter, all of the replies were about Shellendorf.
Nathaniel Phillips
Too many un-inkable surfaces, it slows down the games flow
Owen Powell
Speaking of which, Albacore is a fucking abomination.
Blake Martinez
Why are there SO MANY newfags willing to out themselves by seriously imagining that Yea Forums was ever a place where yuri wasn't posted and used as thread fodder like everything fucking else, and where did they come from?
My wife loves Splatoon and has clocked hundreds of hours in both games
Adam Wood
feels great and my first kiss even felt like a spark of electricity a bit
Andrew Torres
>tfw no splatoon bf to play league with >tfw nobody to play league with also >playing clam blitz >having to manipulate your teammates by not making any super clams when you don't immediately need to push >teammates getting way aggressive whenever there's a super clam on the map
James Collins
I love clam blitz, but man is it a fucking gongshow to play with randoms. I've never been able to play with anyone but randoms, so I don't even know the glory that is dominating a team in Clam Blitz with coordination.
Every time I win in that mode it just kinda feels like a fluke. Still love it thooooo.
>place where yuri wasn't posted As long as it has been posted it has been mocked. Yuri, especially nowadays, is the realm of ironic weebs and redditors.
Christopher Smith
I'm tired of certain idolposters. So, very, tired.
Oh, not any in this thread currently, at least I hope. And it's a bit hard to explain. Let's just say there's one who claims to love them but doesn't actually seem to.
Austin Wright
I thinking you are talking about Marie shitposters
Hunter Rogers
Also goddamn do I wish I had backup when fighting against misinformation and bullshit. I don't envy the times others have had to do this alone.
No, they claim to like both. This person is more insidious; he doesn't attack you outright. He claims to be amongst you and then spreads bullshit and misinformation under that guise.
Oliver Ortiz
JP splatoon community is leagues better than western splatoon community. Look at hoe good JP splat twitter is. Makes me wish I knew the language.
Wyatt Morris
I might honestly consider learning Japanese just for this game.
Gavin Fisher
The Nintendo community in the west just isn't that great. Filled with furries, autists who don't shower, and trannies.
Aaron Ramirez
You can't read Japanese and know the state of the community?
Benjamin Russell
So you haven't played any shooters except splatoon and TF2? Because TF2 is fucking trash, never played splatoon 2.
Caleb Campbell
You can learn from people who translate for you, machine translations, and plaza posts.
Thomas Nelson
Especially when one of them is freaking rich
Ryan Thompson
But the ones mocking it are the ones posting all the shit that exclusively comes from reddit and casual weebs. Your logic doesn't add up
Ethan Peterson
Google translate is enough to get a general idea. There are far more people who talk about the game. There are far more people who post clips of their play and do the multiplayer at a relatively high level. Seems to be less interpersonal drama than the west too
Nicholas Turner
1st post is right, OP, you're a retard
Andrew Bailey
>Filled with furries The rest of that sentence was redundant
