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

[SquidKid85]

What im glad about is Salmon Run. It makes you rotate into different weapons. That alone is good practice and I'm happy they made it a thing for this mode.

I really hope that my team can step up their game when I'm the Charger for this reason.

Pretty neat!—the splatfest section of the app shows you who on your friend list joined what side. At least for that region.

Which brings up a curious thought: Anyone tried using an alt account registered for a different region to play another region's splatfest? Or even just to play with people in other regions?

I'm thinking it might be easier to attempt with a physical copy than a digital version.

Someone else can correct me if need be, but considering you needed to download a different version of the Splatfest demo for each region, I'm assuming you'd need a different copy.

It makes sense there would be different models of a copy of Splatoon 2, for America, Europe, and Japan, considering the Splatfests. I mean, what would happen if you accidentally got into an European Splatfest when you live in America?

Lag, for the most part :P

THANK YOU. Seems like no one outside of people on my friend list paints the walls. Mobility options are a good thing, people!

Yup, the walls are actually pretty important to get back to the basket. Really sucks when your teammates immediately hit the fan elevator leaving you at the bottom, surrounded, with no ink to climb.

Also know your role. The long range weapons are better for bosses that need to be shot. Short range weapons are better for the bosses that need bombs and for collecting eggs. Please please please take out the boss that you're suited to.

Question to anyone: what are the brushes good for in Salmon run? It's so hard to kill anything with it. Should I just reserve myself to running and bombing only?

It has it's uses. You're right that it takes umpteen hits to kill anything, but it's speedy. Probably it's most important perk is that it ignores grates, which makes fighting and egg collecting in those areas easier, especially when tide is high and grates are the only area the salmon decide to show up at.

I mean, it still sucks at actually taking out foes. But it has that going for it.

Is it me or is the range of the Splattershot Jr, Splattershot, and rapid blaster almost exactly the same? I just tried them in the test range and couldn't get more range out of anything until I hit the pro and mini splatling I was testing. I don't remember this being the case when the game first came out, did they equalize all the ranges of the similar class weapons in an update or something?

Hmmm. I think their ranges are the same. I went on the firing range and compared those three weapons to a Splatoon 1 range chart, and the results seem to match up.

The results for each weapon seem to match up with their counterpart from 1, or they all seem to match up with each other in 2? I'm sorry my reading comprehension is failing me at the moment...

No worries, I could've worded that better. The ranges I see in Splatoon 2 appear to match up with Splatoon 1's range chart.

Really? I'll have to take some screenshots tomorrow then for a better comparison. Maybe my testing method is flawed.

....Huh?!

Guys, look at this...
"New information on festival has been found!
In addition to the two stages chosen by usual Nawabari battle, there is a case that a special stage called "Mystery Zone" is selected only at the time of the festival.
It means that this mystery zone, a different form each time a festival is held."

Whaaat?!

And the stage has trademarks of the hero mode stages...(note the background skies made out of huge display screens)....

This is....unexpected.

The logo in the post is the same as Marina's Octoling icon. May be reading too much into it, but perhaps it goes hand in hand with the datamined gear.

Now, this has nothing to do with anything, but I thought I'd just share this. My two main weapons, in a nutshell...

Wonder what they're like in Splatoon 2... (R.I.P. still no Switch)

...Is it bad that I want duck hunt sounds on my N Zaps now? At least for the shooting SFX, hahah.

All it was missing was the screen flash. Anyone who played duck hunt will know what I mean.

If it's any consolation, the N-Zap's in a very good place now, that new kit is a terror.

Remind me again what the kits are for the N-ZAPs in Splatoon 2?

Whenever a shot hits someone the screen flashes white with a black box around their squid
