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

[Windstar]

They've been doing 1 map a month, don't see why anyone should expect anything different, at least until the end of the guaranteed support period, where we have quite a few more months left.

I just hope we can get some more OG stages remixed.

I don't feel like copying and pasting this or really expanding my point too much here but
People are just so susceptible to other opinions that an uprising can turn from one video.

You know something'S wrong when you don't get a notification from this thread for two days straight... (Yay for missing notifications!!!)

Anyways, Money vs. Love. If this isn't the question that tears the world in two, I don't know what is. Likely another of those "I'll wait to join a team until I know which team most of my friends are on." kind of Splatfest for me. Regardless, I'm just looking to have fun this time. And I'm kinda salty I missed the Shifty Station from last Splatfest (R.I.P. Me).

And the new stage! Well, it's been a while since I've actually played so, I still have another stage or 2 I haven't looked at from earlier. Should probably start looking into that...

Wow, those baskets for the new map are huge! Maybe they use power clam sized basketball power clams?

New dualies and their abilities sound like the secret love-child of the undercover brella and one of the dualies. But which dualies is the father?

Ooh~ scandalous!

I want to be clear that I want just as many maps and new guns. I hope that wasn’t taken wrong. I just wonder if it was better for maps to not always be available in all modes.

But I love all the content. It’s one of the things that makes Splatoon so much fun.

And as an NBA fan and a former basketball writer, I can’t wait for this new map.

I think all the maps adds some good competitive points. You can have teams excel or struggle with different map+mode combos, which can make for more interesting tournaments ;0

This was mostly me complaining about all the competitive players all of a sudden asking for a mass exodus of content from the competitive scene just because Sendou brought it up.

I’m lowkey skeptical of these new dualies; I know they do low damage compared to the OGs, but being able to roll four times while shooting them makes it sound like they’ll be excellent in close range; especially if you have good aim, and the user you’re shooting at will have a hard time hitting you, regardless of whether they’re using stick or motion controls.

Just my hypothesis; time and play testing will tell though.

 

[Green Waffles]

@zzmorg82 actually, they have a 4 hit splat, same as splat dooly

Here's a copy paste from Inkademy of my sheldon stat comparisons regarding Tetra Dualy

Tetra Dooooly's Sheldon Values:
Range=50
Mobility=90
Damage=22

Splat Doooooooooly Sheldon Value
Range = 39 (pre-buff)
Mobility = 70
Damage = 22 A MATCH! (also, pre-buff)

A Dapple Dooly Sheldon's stat award value
Range = 24
Mobility = 80 (less than tetra's?!?)
Damage = 47

Glooga Dooooooooooooooooooly Shamelamelan
range = 56 (slightly higher than tetra's =0 )
mobility = 35
damage = 76 (for it's 2hko damage, I'm sure)

THUS, we can coonclude that Tetra's stats are (as of the lastest datamine... data)
-About the same range as glooga (so you will match falloff range of splatershots, if not slightly beating them... don't ya just love burst bombs?)
-MOBILTY- is actually a bit of a nebulous sheldon stat, nothing we can gather from this as the extra value may not refer to roll speed or length, but rather the amount of roll you can do back to back (which is 4, in the tetra's case. Yes this wasconfirmed from the datamine)
-Damage matches the 4hko damage of the splat dualies-

HOWEVER these stats make no mention of fire rate or accuracy so anyone mentioning time to splat for Tetra Dualies is speculating (NOT factual)

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

Good old Japanese quality.....still running after an apocalyptic disaster centuries ago. Clearly, however, it's not a Canon.

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.

Just wait until you've payed $20 for that kind of service ;)

. Ironically enough here in the west we immediately ditched an entire game mode out of comp play because it was labeled as a ''casual mode''... though Japan goes on right ahead and plays it in tourneys anyways x.x;;

Wait, Japan plays TW competitively?! Eff it, I'm moving to Japan!

 

[Ansible]

Interesting~, so the Tetra Dualies are the love-child to the Glooga and Undercover! Perhaps it will perform as well as its parents, if not better.

In fact, a couple weeks ago there was an elementary school level Turf War tournament posted to youtube. I can dig it up for you if you like. (Their home market is so pampered!)

 

[MINKUKEL]

I'm more surprised to learn that apparentely they don't play TW competitively outside of Japan?

Well, I guess I'm just going to have to watch the announcements at home. At least I have PAX tickets!

 

[Dewnose]

Ah, you guys are lucky - I’m unlikely to watch it in live video even. Also, question - what will/did you main for the Splatfest? I’ll be using the n-zap duali- err, I mean tetras for sure.
