    So what am I in for?

    Oh no no, you did nothing wrong! I was just noting to myself that there were differing opinions about the matchmaking between different people. I've heard and read from some that it's a bit of a dumpster fire; other's I've heard it's relatively similar to Splatoon 1. But since the opinions...

    So what am I in for?

    A bit ironic I'm getting conflicting notes regarding the matchmaking. I guess I'll just have to wait until I get started in the multiplayer to see for myself. Seems like most games have some sort of MMR even in their unranked modes nowadays. Sounds pretty good to me. I won't miss getting...

    So what am I in for?

    Sorry for the late reply guys! I got busy over the past few days. I finally managed to play a little bit of the single player campaign, and I've been loving it! A bit unusual to play with different weapons in the campaign. Ahhh, I see. So the chargers got spanked because the map themselves...

    So what am I in for?

    No worries! Any information helps out. Looks like it's mainly medium ranged weaponry dominating the scene. Have any ideas why this may be the case? What makes the Brella and Dualie class hit or miss? What especially makes the Brella generally under perform? Similar question: why do you...

    So what am I in for?

    So it's been a while since I've played the Splatoon series. I stopped with Splatoon 1 a long while ago, and haven't gotten around to Splatoon 2 since I don't own a Switch, yet. I've held off for various reasons, though I plan on purchasing one within the next week or so. Essentially, I just...

    The new specials are not overpowered.

    Oops, I didnt mean to state that snowballing was solely based off of the items, just reduced because of the decrease in overall powers of them.

    The new specials are not overpowered.

    Good to feel I'm not the only one. It got to a point where it feel that half of the specials were panic buttons, and the other half were situational at best. But due to the decreased power overall, it means there is less of a reliance on the specials. Dying wont be as harsh of a penalty...

    I can't use motion controls to save my life...

    You'll want to sit in a position where you can give your wrists ample space to allow for maximum range of motion, because you should really be aiming with your wrists and not your arms. At least that's what works for me. For me, this usually means sitting with my legs spread out, and placing...

    Off the HOOK!

    I have to say that Pearl has been growing on me since the Splatoon 2 Direct. And I would assume she will grow on others post launch, when we get to see her in action more.

    Splatoon is my first 'shooter'; what would you recommend next?

    Doom 1 and 2. They're classics and are pretty good. Easy to learn, but can be hard at times. Very moddable, so you can find a lot of stuff if you're ever craving more Doom. The Serious Sam series. Again, a classical styled FPS. You basically run around in wide spaces fighting hordes of...

    Respectable Weapons

    Well such weapons are probably the best at successfully chasing someone down, so don't feel bad if it happens on occasion. If the snipers manage to get you, well, they did their job. They saw a prime opportunity to take someone out, and did so. All I can say is be more aware of your...

    Good Mid Ranged Shooters for Ranked?

    Sometimes what I do is predict where the target is going and aim there and let the guy run into the crosshairs. This is more useful for targets that are farther away. You could also use strafing to help you hit targets. Use the motion controls to aim at the enemy, but strafe around once when...

    Respectable Weapons

    Easy to get into, but hard to master. Anyone can pick up either weapon, but to really use them to their fullest and get stuff done, you need to spend time with it. There's a reason why I see the tentatek and splattershot jr. more often then most other guns at higher levels. This. It doesn't...

    Someone please tell me these aren't the right odds

    A friend of mine spent an entire afternoon to get one triple, and that's by savescumming, so I'm not surprised at the odds.

    What really stupid/noob things have you seen, or have done?

    When people place the squid beacons at your spawn. As if you couldn't already squid jump to your spawn...
