Well, according to this website, it says Level 27 :/.

@the Das me '3'

Oh no... did you play with me in the depths of my bad connection salt? If so, I apologize.
I played HORRIBLY due to crap internet and the ensuing saltiness. xP

So recently there was a brief system 4.1.0 update.

Yep. Very brief. Just a quick tweaking of the motion controls.

So far it seems to have completely resolved the aim drift of my stock joycons. But I'm gonna have to put through a workout or few to make sure of that.

Not sure how much it affects the pro controller or third party controls.

So I wasn't just imagining this? I've only had the aim drift happen in the past month and re calibrating the joycons didn't seem to change anything.

Also, after playing around with both the Hydra and Gloogas, my impressions of them were... poor, to say the least.
Funny how we had all this hype for the Hydra and it just kinda... fizzled out. I can see where the cynical complainers are coming from now.

It would be more popular if it had ink mines, eh, @Saber? :P

Without a doubt.... everything is better with inkmines:p....especially kills



That being said I am really glad for the aim drift buff, it used to be a problem esecially in botw and Mario Odyessy, percise jumps and last second dodges are not great when you end up falling off a cliff.
It is also good for splatoon so now I don't have to fight it in the middle of a match, until the actual pro control ships in (btw why make a botw and Odyessy control, which Nintendo sold these games with the idea of promoting the motion control,and then not give them motion controls?)

LOL, I admit that since discovering how to offensively use inkmines as bombs with 4k I've been doing that kind of trolling quite often :P However the "1 second ink recovery" works against it when chasing down for a quick tap...then another tap....and they yet live...

That's basically how I salvaged the E-Liter 4K a couple weeks ago. Offensive and trolly use of the Inkmines on top of that extra one on common choke points works wonders for the weapon. Being able to OHKO people with a half-charge is pure bliss, on top of mastering the two-shot technique of course.
Which is why I don't use the CE-Liter in solo queue...apart from bubbles being unreliable and more obstructive than helpful, when your team fails to make use of the Beakons, I'd rather have Ink Mines and the Ink Storm on hand, to be honest. :p

Yep, pretty much the same. I haven't touched 4k since I hit lv30 and since the day custom came out since it's so bad in the game, and just last week I figured out how to use those mines that way as well (All thanks to @Saber's unhealthy obsession with them :P ) , but now I'm definitely including it in mains. The tuber and my old bambi maining made me pretty decent at 2-shotting and evading already, and discovering to use mines to effectively reproduce dmg+ partial charges.....REALLY makes the weapon viable more or less. Though I admit that with all the run speed buffs, the majority of my long-range shots are still for inking/disrupting/patch creation/destruction than being successful at killing anything.

I am glad that my mineror obsession with mines was helpful, though I am curious as to what gear you run with that, I had been using ink resist and swim speed to make up for the heavy nature of the weapon, I am guessing sub saver or sub up
But i will definetly have to take some time to relearn 2 shoting with the eliter but I am will like be getting most of my splats this way from now on with the vanilla

Also one of these day you, me, and @Goolloom will have to do an all tuber team and see what happen

Haha, now THAT would be stuff worth streaming for the pure comedy gold! :P Sounds like fun! I might get a bit rusty with tuber while practicing so much 4k-mine-main, but enough technique crosses over, it'll come back to me!

It's kind of funny using the eliter mostly for 2-shots and mine trapping.....technically that kind of eliminates the point of the eliter :P But it's somehow still awesome to be able to threaten from afar, and ink from afar, in between aggro harassment with the oversized bamboozler. :P And the scrubs are so unused to seeing eliters at all in this game nobody knows how to deal with it half the time ;)

For now I've been running one of my tuber sets: 2x swim speed, 1x special charge, (mains) 3x special charge subs plus random subs. Not really using any ink savers with it. It could get me out of trouble sometimes, but I think most of the time I'd run out of ink I'd be dead by then anyway. I may swap special charge main for some sub effectiveness up though....make those mines guarantee the follow-up tap more often.

@Saber Strike the sub effectiveness part. I figured out it only affects the activation range and sensor duration, not the explosion damage. Blech, that actually hurts it IMO. I don't feel the need for ink resist, and I'm not sure extra run speed will help all that much. I probably don't need more swim (though it would be funny). Special charge or power is maybe the way to go. Playing with ink recovery for now to mitigate both the dozens of missed shots and the mines on a whim.

I tried respawn punisher. It still seems useless.

Of course... cause that would make Ink mines viable and we can't can we @Nintendo o_O

Well that is good to know, maybe I run the bomb saver with bomb defense and ink resist until I can get a better setup

Respawn punisher is better personally on the splatcharger or the squiffer, (even bambi) it thrives of getting multiple splats and keeping players out of a match as long as possible.

It is also good on any weapon where you guarentee you can confidently get more splats than the enemy can splat you

For example I even used it on vanilla Dulies set with tons of run speed equipped...

PLACE YA BETS

I'd like the undercover brella to come out tomorrow, but that seems unlikely.
I'll split my bet between. . .

-Squeezer, as it was the second new weapon teased on the splatoon tumblr/ jp twitter, after glooga.
-or Slosher deco

I bet one and a half auto bombs. I'm feelin' lucky

Personally I don't think eliter needs bomb defense too much....it's easy to back away from a bomb and keep pressuring more than other weapons. Same with ink resist. I've been stuck in ink and unable to escape a few times, but at that point, it's too late...the slight resistance would only help half the time.

I also don't die very much with eliter....which surprised me. At least not in TW....Only if I overextend without really thinking it out do I end up in trouble. But I also don't get tons of splats. Some, yes....but it's less likely to rack double digit splats for me than, say, dynamo. But even when I do focus on splats.....respawn punisher still seems so useless! The effect is just too short to matter.

Not squeezer, not right after glooga. I'm betting they save that until after Christmas so there's a big "new" something for all the new players. Same with undercover brella. Alt kit of some sort. Slosher seems likely.

The (alt) Clash.

That's my bet.

 

[Saber]

@Award
Sub defense is mainly in my gear to deal with special attacks (especially inkjet)
Most time get solo specials, so having the mobiliy and ink resist with that gives me a higher chance to live in those confrontations

Now about the next weapon, one sec.
(Hops on time machine...)
I placing my bets on the Squeezer being the next weapon to drop but I am just guessing

 

[Ansible]

I want my spy brella! I want it and I want it NOW!

I like me those there brellas, even before they somehow became supposedly "top tier meta" alongside my adorable sloshing machine (lol wut). But chances are they'll likely put out free squeezer instead of another brella or alt kit weapon after all the 2.0 hype material featuring three new weapons.
