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

[Ansible]

Watching vids and clips of the Japanese Splatfest. The colour combination this time around is just blah as it's just two shades of green! But the Shifty Station has quite a bit of (low) verticality and grappleink/grappling hooks. Seems even your ink storm can activate it too. Don't know about tenta missiles, bubbles, and some subs like sprinkler though.

You shouldn't use wifi anyway. The Switch LAN adapter is well worth the price.

Unless your locations aren't ethernet port friendly and/or you're traveling handheld mode.

I used to be on the Minecraft forums and in OT we had a thread where we just talked like it was a long-form IRC. This thread would reach thousands of pages and need to be deleted and remade multiple times because the site couldn't handle such a singularly large thread.

I had over 3 thousand posts in it. Some regulars reached ten thousand.

The only reason my Splatoon group went on Discord was because we kept crashing our Twitter accounts both on phone and desktop with mega-threads.

D'oh. I'm so used to playing it on the TV non-stop that I didn't even think about handheld mode. I haven't played S2 in handheld mode in months.

On an animal crossing forum there was a forum game that was so spam-inducing that it might as well have been an IRC lol. I remember it being at like 3000 pages, and that was like 2 years ago

ANYWAY my opinion of this shifty station:

Isn't this the largest thread on SquidBoards?

First off ai want this to be a permanent stage, I think a stage with a moray towers esque setup. it makes it so fun to swing around the stage with a charger like a spider-squid....I do feel the stingray is a bit much though...

@SquidKid85
I do believe this is the largest, follow by the dead sea thread and the Splatoon 2 think tank...

The Splatfest stage from before this, the one with cannons and the one with the spinner in mid are three of my favorite stages period. If they put the mechanics that made those fun into some new stages, that would be awesome. Even if they were turf only.

@Spaceswitchmars sadly, I wasn't around to play the stage wiith the cannons, but the one with the spinners was a really great stage.

I believe they will add Shifty Station, but I don't know how they will. Maybe every time it's in rotation, a different version is used?

 

[Dewnose]

@Amarae Whoa... that is just too much... I don't really think that posting ten thousand times would be good for your mental health.
@SquidKid85 Yes it is.
@the THAT'S AMAZING if that map ever comes here, imagine what you could do with Special Charge, or actually Sub Power Up + Burst Bombs... Or what about surprise Splashdowns? Someone should start a thread about this...

I really hope they'll patch that stingray trick out, that seems really obnoxious. Basically means that stingray, on top of already being a very powerful weapon, can now teleport you across the map. Advancing and protecting your turf means nothing anymore if people can just fly past it lol

Yeah, I’m honestly wondering why they left that in. I mean it was pretty well-known that you could do it in story mode, idk why they wouldn’t take that into consideration and put like a wall or something in the center of the map to prevent cross-map teleportation.

Well it does seem to come at a cost, it nullifies your special which for a weapon like a .52 gal is good but on a weapon like a splatcharger this teleport could not only waste special but also compromise thier positioning.

So although busted on some weapon It should be patched cause it can hurt many more weapons than it could help

I'm not sure if any of this matters anyway because, as we're all aware, free will is a myth and we're all living inside a simulation.

But I also doubt it gets patched out because, when Nintendo makes a mistake that leads to a weird competitive advantage (see fire hopping in MK8), they rarely fix such mistakes.

Hey guys, I couldn't find a thread on this so I thought I'd ask. Sometimes, in ranked, I see players that are under level 10, they're level 9 down. How is that possible? They also usually have a star next to their level if I'm correct. Did I miss something?

Sorry if this is a thing someone else has brought up!

"Shooting for the stars" - levels updated in Splatoon 2 The star next to the level basically means "one hundred AND (number)", though it can be reset multiple times. So the star is basically an indicator for a person who has leveled beyond 99.

 

[Mr.HawK]

dont know if anybody saw this yet, but this is pretty big news for one of the new maps coming soon

Spoiler: Returning Map change, 2 maps in one?

Seems like Piranha Pit is getting special treatment this time around, not only has it been slightly updated but the map completely changes its layout for rainmaker

 

[Dessgeega]

Oh good, one of my favorite stages from the first game has been rendered in at least one mode to be as flat and blocky and samey as all the non-returning stages.

I don't think I agree with you. I think all of the new stages have a pretty decent aesthetic, even if they have a simpler layout. Frankly a simpler layout I find to be better for a competitive experience.
