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

[zzmorg82]

For the sake of stirring up some discussion, what would be the most broken weapon combination?

I think a Squid Beakon + Splashdown weapon would be just insane, but I’m not sure what sort of main weapon could benefit from that kind of set.

Splat Dualies with Splat Bombs and Splashdown would be a good, aggressive loadout.

That's it, now I'm going to have to main my beloved unloved tuber next fest...... and I've been having so much fun festing with splat roller....... :p

(I'm still thrilled everyone hates tuber.... ;) )

I’ll have to take back what I said about goo tubers, after seeing four today... and only half were custom. Looks like it’s not everybody @Award .

So I've heard that at this point in time, there are only 20 known weapons left to release. With Nintendo's 1 weapon a week policy that equates to 20 more weeks of content updates, or in other words 5 months, which takes us to the 30th of June, precisely one year of content updates as promised. So I have a feeling that there may be some updates we don't know of or we'll get one final map release in July, giving us 5 final maps in the game (I'd like to think it'd be either 4 maps or 6, keep an even number). If so my money is on 4 maps, 2 final maps from Splatoon 1 and 2 new gimmick maps (much like how the final 4 in Splatoon all had some quirk to them). That'd bring us up to 20 maps, which is a round number, more than 1 (like they promised) and means we'll have 12 new maps and 8 returning maps, making a 60/40 split total.

If this is what happens I'd say it's safe to say we won't be seeing Urchin, Bluefin, Triggerfish and Saltspray return, as I'm of the belief that we'll see 2 of Splatoon's gimmick maps and 2 new ones. My money would go on Piranha Pit and Mahi Mahi being the final returning maps, with 2 new maps of other gimmicks, whether they have miniature cannons, moving platforms or a completely new and unseen gimmick introduced (helped by all the experimental Shiftys). Museum won't return because of Shellendorf, no way will we have 2 similar themed maps here, and Ancho-V was infamous in being laggy and full of disconnects so that's a no go either. I hope they will be extending the content updates if only because of the online switch over, and to give out all the content in the game and not continue to support it when demanding money will be a slap in the face all things considered. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Triggerfish but I'm concerned it won't be returning.

I count 22 weapons remaining to be exact.
4 Shooters (Alt H-3, Alt Splash, Alt Sploosh, Alt Squeezer)
4 Blasters (Alt Rapid Pro, Alt Luna, Alt Clash, Alt Range)
2 Chargers (Alt Squiffer, Alt Bamboozler)
1 Roller (Alt Carbon)
2 Splatlings (Alt Mini, Alt Hydra)
2 Sloshers (Alt Tri, Alt Machine)
4 Dualies (Alt Squelcher, Alt Glooga, Tetra, Alt Tetra)
3 Brellas (Alt Splat, Alt Tenta, Alt Undercover)

I'm also hoping for Triggerfish to return, and I think it's got a good chance as it's unique in that it's a nature themed map while all the others are in more urban settings. Also they'll surely do Sheldon's Picks again given the game is already more successful than the first.

That's it, now I'm going to have to main my beloved unloved tuber next fest...... and I've been having so much fun festing with splat roller....... :p

I don't hate it, I think after all the buffs it's no longer a meme and a legitimately good weapon. I was doing pretty alright with it last night and I haven't used the thing in months! Okay, a number of my kills came from Inkjet, but still!

Money vs. Love is the Splatfest this time around.

Y’all already know I’m about the green. I can always buy fake-love and pleasures anytime I want.

B-but nothing is more rich than love itself! This means war.

Also, what's in the background? Is that the new shifty station? Looks super weird.

 

[Woomyapple]

Oh hey, Money vs. Love. Something that was Japanese exclusive in Splat 1. I've always wanted to do this one. Let's go team love!

Alright, how about this? You give me your money, and I’ll give you my love. Fair trade?

[Lonely_Dolphin]

You can't live comfortably without money! Plus using money I can buy the things I love, like being able to play Splatoon online...

Alright, how about this? You give me your money, and I’ll give you my love. Fair trade?

So basically marriage then? :L

 

[Dessgeega]

Anyone who claims money can't buy happiness doesn't have bills to pay or American health insurance.

Hopefully before they wrap up the weapon roster we can get at least one new sub-weapon and special.

Well Award does use multiple accounts, so he's probably fudging the numbers to make it look like there are multiple gooey users. =p

That is a still functioning, human-era fax machine they've deified. It's how they receive their Splatfest choices.

Money vs Love?
*giggles remembering Splatoon 1 NoJ Splatfest fanart on the same subject*

Anyway~! That's interesting, you'd think they give Marina the money option but I guess they wanted to swap sides after doing it already in Splatoon 1. And likely I'll end up playing on Team Money because anyone that might actually wants me squadding with them will be in it for the money.

Meanwhile, I've created a related Looking for Splats Group thread if for anyone wanting to find teammates !

I was going to make an alimony check joke, but you sorta beat me to it.

Nintendo gets a 10/10 right now. They've pulled server maintenance in the MIDDLE OF A SPLATFEST. Like could they seriously consider doing maintenance the day before or after so they don't take time out of a 24hr event? Service isn't due back for the next 80 mins either, can't believe this as it's done during the time I actually have to sit down and play the game. Thanks for that, it's not like people have lives or anything, they can just sit there and play video games all day and not care about things that actually have to take priorities over leisurely activities.

Do you know who else takes money over love? The current US president oh whoops politic joke

Hey, i won't be able to pay the bills with love but i rather die loved than to become a loathsome money-grubber!

In his defense, he doesn’t actually have either of those things.

Let's not bring discussion of that... thing into happy fun squid gladiator combat forum, please.

It's an emergency maintenance. They didn't plan this, obviously. Maybe they'll extend the fest, like they did with the testfire from Splatoon 1 (?).

I'm enjoying using the Custom Goo Tuber. Curling bombs are great to quickly traverse the map, and provide an option for quick escape from a sticky situation. I'm also feeling even more confident with my Goo Tuber than I have before, but that might just be thanks to all the practice I've put into it. But throwing a curling bomb, and popping up out the other side straight into a OHKO on an unassuming squid is so much fun.
