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

[Ansible]

I'm pretty sure everyone here on the Squid boards is ready to have the game in our hands

I could paste an appropriate SpongeBob clip regarding my feelings on needing it now... but...

Maybe some other time.

I want to doubt the likelihood of another testfire, but given the response to the invitational, showroom floor demos, and ARMS had its second testpunch a week before release... it's difficult to holding onto doubt. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus the game has been visually updated pretty significantly since the last testfire so it could paint a better picture of the game. And like you said most people missed the first one. I honestly believe it was released as padding for launch.

No? The original reason, stress-testing their servers, continues to be why these testfires happen. And frankly, it was needed considering I was running over people with the splat roller in said testfire and bumping off them like I was a carbon :P LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

I didn't notice much if any lag... But I was playing with Wired internet.... I have all my footage up on my YouTube channel if you want to dissect the footage (Torloth the black mage). But that was also before I got the new laptop so 720P footage.... Sorry....

I feel like everyone had different experiences but we have also had a few Switch Software updates since.... Hoping for lag free online from Splatoon2.
If they have another test fire it's going to be soon. Or maybe they will do the Free weekend thing to try and get some more sales...

So upon watching that private battle at E3 I noticed that Varsity Jacket had been changed.

They've changed Main Damage Up for a Ink Saver (Sub).

Welp, that's going to throw me off if every other previous clothing gear in existence is also changed...I guess they really want us all to have a extreme make over?

...Or maybe they're just balancing out the old clothing gear to fit alongside the new. Just a guess.

 

[Saber]

It's very likely that with the charge storing, sub defense up, and ink resistance being a multiple ability.
It is highly (like 89% chance) that damage up will be done away with along with defense up, and tbh I am very content with this.
No more worries about the consistency of your shots, fear of charging a shot just below the splat range, or a stray splattershot falloff shot splatting you.
Should be interesting to see how our old gear adapts with this change...

I noticed that while eating lunch today, actually

A bit worrisome

 

[Green Waffles]

@SomeRandomSplatoonPlayer I look forward to bamboozler falling deeper into obscurity
or the squiffer, if they miraculously decide to buff the ol' boozle
mega sarcasm

 

[Torloth]

That was the tournament build of the game. It is entirely possible that nothing they showed on the gear was final. Until I get decent time with all the weapons, they all should be viable. I really just want to play around with everything and find my favorite builds. Until then.... Gabriel is my spirit animal :P

 

[Saber]

@Green Waffles but the squiffee will be getting charge storing which will likely make it more viable since it will be the quickest OHKO in game now, and since it lasts a limited amount of time being close range like a squiffer, or splat charger would likely take advantage of that
Though Idk if the Bambi will get charge keep due to how quick it reloads, so it will likely get a different buff to help it out.

Some interesting tidbits here, mainly the level 4 requirement to unlock Salmon Run.

 

[Kabel]

Does that confirm Salmon Run is available at all times then or ? How confusing. I think what they meant by timed events was that salmon run will have events for special rewards.

Also Splatfests were confirmed.

I would really like this cleared up also

 

[G1ng3rGar1]

So Cap'n is still alive, nice to hear

 

[Ceresbane]

Amiibo costumes...

Linkling here we go.

 

[Dessgeega]

A solid answer on Salmon Run's schedule will do us all some good. As it is, I think level 4 is a really low requirement. That's what, 5 or so matches of turf war on the first game? Unless that's changed people will get into Salmon Run quickly. I just hope there's additional unlock requirements or we're going to see idiots tackle 100% difficulty ASAP and complain when they get crushed.

I also hope amiibos don't give clothes, or at least not the ability-linked clothes the Splatoon amiibo did. Skins would be fine. The amiibo previously caused an uproar and some people still grumble about paying money for gear, so that could be awkward.

A part of me says, "let them," but then again there's only so much self-inflicted causation whining I can enjoy until it goes from amusing to annoying to pathetic.

And agreed, if they do allow for non-Splatoon amiibo it should be skins rather than gear. Heck, the loadout screen has an "Other" option for pants, shorts, and skirt selection--they could treat outside amiibo likewise.

Buying new amiibos to unlock stuff is one thing.

But having all older amiibo that previously only did one thing suddenly gain more universal uses? Thats a step forward. Because then they'd be worth the ridiculous price tag.

... Really? Read this chart. I'll not argue their price or value but saying they only do one thing is ridiculously misinformed.
