Splatoon 2: Find Out What's Fresh! (General Discussion)

[Torloth]

That sounds like what's happening yeah.

The Japanese twitter posted a slow rotation video of the gear available at 7-11 now. Apparently the shirts have Bomb Defense, Cold-Blooded, Quick Respawn, and and Quick Super Jump. No indication yet as to how the rest of us will get these.

Not sure but part of me wants to try that grapefruit soda they have with inklings on it.
I looked at the link looks like they sold the game and all the gear... At 7/11...

@Dessgeega it was already confirmed these shirts will also be on the nintendo rewards

Got a link? I've only heard of that being the case in Japan, no confirmation for the rest of us.

I can bet scrub your splatfest tee before it end being a likely thing. Along with holding some spare ability chunks for when a splatfest rolls around.

And two hour rotations are still in effect during splatfest? I like that, they should keep that! And we're playing at Starfish Mainstage & Inkblot Art Academy followed by Humpback Pump Track & Moray Towers!

Moray Towers, eh? Getting that salt started early I see!

I don't know how high the salt levels will be on new Moray just yet, it is "new" after all :P

Moray Towers during the half of the splatfest that a certain friend of mine is able to attend? Their reaction will be delicious :p

And you're right, people are totally going to game it with those shirts. But then Splatfests have been getting like that. TRIUMPH! OR! DIE!

15 hours n 30 minutes to go yal! :D

Ok I'm disappointed we're stuck with the same 4 weapons as the first demo, but not exactly surprised. I had hoped we could try some actual new weapons out.

Well the Splattershot is now the Tentatek version with Splatbombs and Inkjet so hey there's that atleast! Most Switch owners now didn't play in the testfire, myself included, so to us these weapons are new. Oh and the stages are all new for everyone, so you'll get to see how the weapons you've played perform on them.

But there's no E-Liters. :L

Not now, of course, but just you wait, man. Their only redemption is nerfing their range...

Well, that and damage up being gone, and they don't have burst bombs (so far), and the scoped variant can't use the swimming charge ability, etc. etc. :P DOWN WITH THE BOURGEOIS ELITE(rs)!

 

[Ansible]

No E-Liters yet, but there are still splat charges!

On the "bright" side, there's no damage up so all chargers will have to fully charge their shots. And most of these chargers will be new or adjusting too.

Their range was nerfed? Where did you hear that?

The non-scoped version only which can't reach the other side so it's not as bad.

Hmm, so meh on the beakons, but Suction Bomb launcher? I don't think I'll be using this in anything but SZ personally. It's a shame they had to throw Beakons on such an otherwise awesome looking weapon, hope the variants come out soon!

 

[Joseph Staleknight]

No, I meant that only nerfing their range could make them bearable when they are properly introduced.

Of course, Ninty being Ninty, they could just as easily make the range longer and doom us all...

Que sponsored content.
In all seriousness though, if they were to do sponsored Splatfests again, I would love to see DC v Marvel. I don't care for either but the nerd salt on both sides never fails to entertain me

Spoiler: OMG how could I forget???

Oh my bads. Guess my opinion is unpopular here, but I think the main issue with the E-Liter is not it's long range but it's effectiveness at close range. That's been addressed in Splatoon 2 so they should be plenty bearable imo. The most intimidating thing about them now is how much skill they require to be played effectively. I'm not exactly the best Splatoon player so I think I'll be using the E-Liter a lot less in favor of weapons that give me more leeway.

 

[Dessgeega]

Damage up being gone is SUCH a blessing. Now if someone takes too many hits to splat, it probably just means your aim is crap ;)
