So i just started playing splatoon

Google images gives me a million amino pages which I'm not terribly interested in sorting through at the moment. It's probably not from an /ink/ artist if it's that popular.

Splatfests are honestly awful. Its worse than turf war because you had to sometimes play on the terrible splatfests gimmick maps.

The only good Shifty Stations were Cannons and Thunderdome. Then right after Squid vs Octopus they all became really bad about mid control, as whoever got to mid first usually won because there were no flank routes and holding mid was easy as fuck.

this although there are a couple other good ones like the glass station and the final one

I love the Splatoon art style.

I need Splat3 to look like the art. Like, exactly like it in motion.

you have separate rank meters for each mode. with 4 modes, you have 4 different ranks and meters.
If you want to rank up quicker, learn motion controls. it may seem burdensome to learn them but you will be better at aiming and the game itself is more fun. really. turn the sensitivity all the way up and you use slight wrist movements to splat.
also, try to experiment with a lot of weapons. turf war and ranked are very different so some guns like blasters, chargers, and splatlings don't ink so well but they get kills and hold down space in ranked. good luck, wish I could do it all over again

Good luck actually identifying anything in combat with that artstyle.

So they added Duelies in Splatoon 2, what weapon class do you think they'll add in 3?

If you're up to it, include:
>The variations within the class

It'd be fine, it'd just be a more extreme cel-shading in practice.

that's not that of a big deal. the only thing he missed about that was the banter during those splatfests

The banter isn't even good.

a showerhead class, with 6 or 7 little beams of ink. very powerful but uses a lot of ink. could be like the sloshers with a short, med, and long range selection.

Barehanded. It could have an excellent splash based attack when in your own ink color and you would slap the ground/enemies for damage, armor for friends if you slap them. Tradeoff is you're fucked if you can't maintain contact with ink of your own color. Variations could be whether you splash underhand or overhand/flick ink.

sounds cool but kind of cancerous. they would have to design some crazy fast animations for that to work. what about some boxing gloves or something instead? or boxing gloves with rockets or springs... DEVILISH

ehh, it can be fun at times

Not really with Treehouse.

Would make an excellent reference to another certain game series.
Continuing my ideas:
Paint tube. spread ink akin to squeeze bottles behind you. You need to dance around and be facing away from the opponent to shoot them. Pressure and distance dependent on how long you hold it in a two second minimum interval.
Pen. The ultimate conclusion for what the paintbrush brought to the table. You barely cover ground at all if you hold the button but you are TOO FAST. The flick will be slow wide horizontal arcs that go far and thin rather than thick and close.

Not uncommon for artists here to post elsewhere

Give me all of your screenshots and gifs of the idol concerts, I need them for reasons.

tl;dr:
> meter fills as you win matches
> meter cracks as you lose matches
Your meter can only take so many cracks before breaking. If your meter is past "OK" then you'll retain your rank in the event of a meter break, otherwise you lose ranks.
Conversely, the more intact your meter is when you win, the more likely you are to jump up multiple ranks. Filling a near-broken meter can even result in just getting a meter reset and no rank up.

Maybe a "charge" type melee? Like, as in literally flinging yourself into the opponent to deal damage.
Emphasis on launching out of your own turf to spread it; less coverage when you're working "from nothing". Defensive bonus while you're charging/"firing".
Say, call them Batterers. The herald of their design is a folding shield structure with an ink surface on the front and thrusters/ink spreaders on the back. I can already see the subclasses:
> Splat Batterer: the original and in a few cases the best. A kite shield setup with triple inkjets for a balance of speed, aerodynamics, and impact.
> Defender: a tower shield with an armored front, sacrificing offense for defense. Slower, shorter charges with wide ink coverage and shorter preparation times. Doesn't guarantee a kill, but decent knockback if you hit someone.
> Batterboomer: a tiny round shield with a huge ink tank on the front rigged to blow. Long charge times, long range, no defensive bonuses, but splash damage at the end of a charge.

you can check the archives, there's likely plenty

>There exists idol models in a level of HD we may never see in-game
>Due to their exclusivity to the concerts we will never see the specs

I probably already have those, I just know some people have unique ones they've likely never shared.
If I had the money, I'd commission a professional 3D character modeler to mimic those models down to the last detail.

That's okay, I wouldn't expect most people to have any.

Hmm, that's interesting. Guess they're more popular than I thought.

thats not how it works regardless of your testimony

why are you playing a game thats about to die

>One of their newest posts on their twitter is fucking Lanky Kong as the headless ape from Sekiro
They are a memer, oh no.

Stop forcing the meme. Splatoon 1 isn't even dead yet.

because you should enjoy things while they last user, such as your mother.

>They were just Turf War with fancy makeup
They were Turf War with fancy makeup that led to some of the comfiest threads on Yea Forums

Rocket- and grenade-launchers, which could behave kinda like the Rainmaker.

I'm sure the thread will be here by tomorrow

Splat pics need more memes. Like your pic with the hand pointing a gun at the viewer.

You have a different rank for each of the modes, they probably just rotated

>need more memes
no they don't faggot. splatoon is already self-conscious enough

Okay never mind then, Jesus. I just thought it'd be silly.

Screw that jerk, you make all the memes you want.

Though I disagree about the game being dead, I hate how much this feels like a series farewell.

I don't know anyone who doesn't like Splatoon's art direction. It's easily some of the most original stuff I've seen in any medium in years; it's absolutely fantastic.

that's the spirit!

I took this trailer as a final 'goodbye' to 2
While the game is very much still alive, Splatoon 2 itself is finished in terms of content

This video pissed me off since it's shit compared to Splatoon 1's.

It's not the game, I'm mad at myself for doing this shit not once but twice. They're good games. I just don't end up playing them for some fucking reason.

inb4 Splatoon dies just like F-Zero

plz no

I switched to french just to see and they're way more creative about ability names than the english version
a lot of them are wordplays or just funny shit, here are some example
IRecovery -> ink (high) tide
RSU -> footing
SSP -> Turbo-squid
QR -> no time out
QSJ -> aerodynamism
IRes -> dry feet
Tenacity -> Justice
Stealth jump -> perfect landing
what are some other goofy or better translations in other languages ?

>Bomber class
>Shoots bombs with significantly better in efficiency than simply throwing them.
>doesn't use bombs for sub weapons and doesn't have bomb rush/launcher for a special
>three types of Bombers
>Splat Bomber(medium weight and range; fires Splat Bombs)
>Burst Bomber(light weight and shortest range; fires Burst Bombs)
>Suction Bomber(heavy weight and longest range; fires Suction Bombs)

There's more than one ranked man

I noticed that, during the final fest, I had to take frequent breaks due to some celestial pressure. Like I was having fun and enjoying myself but it felt like the fabric of the universe itself was unraveling if I played too much.

Or maybe it can be described less melodramatically. Maybe it's just burnout. Still was weird to experience a mental tiredness.

tears in my eyes right now

Hopefully that changes with Splatoon 3

I already got X rank in all modes, 999 salmon run, infinite money, every single item, octo expansion completed, 1000% single player completion and all my favorite weapons are fresh in turf war. Is there a point to rebuying splatoon now that my sister is going to college and taking the game with her? Like would you rebuy it in this situation?

Do you still enjoy playing it?
If no, then don't
If yes, then do
What a dumb question

>fresh
>not SUPERFRESH

The obvious answer is a pseudo-flamethrower.
Make these surf boards instead of shields and I'm in.

splatoon is a very mentally-demanding game. besides the art style, you have to micromanage weapon matchups, special timings, placement, and turf. I couldn't love it more
are you top 100 yet fag? seems like you missed the most important goal there is

The fuk are you on about?

The obvious answer is tri-wielding. How, you ask? They're squids, they got 10 arms.

I'm really tired, it was the first fucked up thing I could think of to bump the thread.

I don't play enough to get past monthly x-rank placements lmao.

Wet towel which also functions as a grappling hook.

welp that's what you keep playing for! fuck the arbitrary personal records; what you need is worldwide results. pick up a kensa splattershot pro and I'm sure you'll be there soon

don't listen to We got enough of them already

I don't think that's necessarily it. I think it's my brain building up a resistance to a game after a while, since it's not just Splatoon.

that was the joke fag. I'm hoping they nerf it one last time. it's absurd it has the best sub, best mpu effect, and one of the best specials (with stupid invlunerability) and it's well-round playstyle makes it hard to counter. today on splatzones there was at least 1-2 per game

>Flamethrower?

So something that is just a constant stream of ink. How would that be different from splatlings? I assume they wouldn't need the charge up time. In which case they sound broken af.

When I hear "Flamethrower" and "Splatoon" I imagine water or "sticky ink".

A giant spray paint can as a special or weird melee weapon. If the salmonids have a bigger role in the next game with like Grizz as a villain or some shit there could also be salmon related weapons, maybe a special lets you call in a swarm of those little salmon fuckers to swarm the enemy team.

but I like those maps because it's turf war but with a specific objective to fight for. Like the one with a conveyor belt on a switch

I shouldn't have a boner

oh god

I just recently got around to playing Octo Expansion. I got through Ya Like To Move It Move It station pretty quickly, but I am having trouble with the Rainmaker level(1v4). Any tips for this level, or anything in the campaign for that matter?

I'd recommend hanging out at the back of the platform. Try to cheese it by jumping of the platform and then heading back.
