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

And I've found yet one more reason to love the curling bomb:

NGYES!!!

I believe I managed to find the metal bucket that was mentioned before! Intriguing indeed! :) But this is my first time trying to post an image on here so I apologize if it comes out funky somehow

For anyone who's wondering, I tested Respawn Punisher with a friend. This is hardly approximate, I'll leave that to others, but Respawn Punisher adds somewhere between a half-second and a second before the killcam activates the respawn timer appears, along with increasing special drain by about 20%. This applies to both the wearer and the people they splat.

This means it has no interaction with Quick Respawn, as that only affects the respawn timer. Not that anyone would use QR currently, but hey.

Welp... I never thought it would happen but I finally saw the light. After 2 years of playing stick controls I am finally getting comfortable with gyro. I tried to use motion control on Friday for about 2-3 hours but I ended up turning them off again until today. Idk what was different this time from the other 10 or so times I tried in the past, but it finally clicked after about 15 mins of playing story mode before heading into work.

I think the main thing was me trying to use my whole arm to aim instead of just my wrists. I was moving the controller around a lot because of that and it was really difficult to aim. I finally realized that you barely tilt the controller with your wrist to aim lol... Now that I understand motion controls I like how fluid it is! I'm still not fully comfortable with it yet, but I can already feel the difference. I'll probably play through all the story mode with gyro when I get home from work tonight and I have the next two days off to practice!

I have also just moved to motion controls. Still getting used to it and I get confused at times ha. Still an overall better experience!

Has anyone else noticed that Murch is playing Squid Jump on his phone? :D

Are we able to play any of those games on an arcade machine like we were able to in Splatoon?

 

[MindWanderer]

Sadly, no. I miss those games. They should let you pop the game up in a window when you're waiting in the lobby. Although at least now you can futz around in the companion app while you wait.

R.I.P. Squid Jump. The only mini-game I was actually any good at.

Finally reached lv.24 to unlock the Flingza. It's not nearly as fast as the Carbon Roller like some of us thought. It feels like a regular roller as far as swing speed. However... the flick is basically charger range, reaching exactly 5 lines in distance. It only does 40ish damage though so it has a really slow ttk from far away. Gonna enjoy trying this thing out :D

It feels like a fusion of roller, charger, and bucket which is really interesting. You can fling it really high into the air and it still damages people when falling to the ground! Gonna try a build with thermal ink and see how well it hits people around walls.

Random question: has anybody noticed a bunch of players with a square root symbol before their names? Or somewhere near the beginning? I've seen tons of them and I'm wondering if it's some weird trend or some really big team or something, haha.

Get us a screenshot from the app, maybe? You can see everyone you've played a match with in your match results.

Fricking frock I stopped getting notifs

Please stand by as I review what I missed

EDIT: I'm back!
So only the Aerospray MG is available or…?

 

[D3RK]

Thermal Ink on Flingza is about as annoying as I thought it was going to be lol. Really strong option on this weapon! Uploaded some gameplay for anyone interested in the weapon but not high enough to buy it yet.

According to Nintendo Life, Splatoon 2 has sold 670,955 copies in the first three days of release over in Japan, and that's only counting physical copies! If numbers are anywhere similar elsewhere, we have a bonafide hit on our hands!

You urchin for a pun war, mate?

Sorry, I couldn't container myself.

*Ahem* As creator of the thread I hereby state that each and every post must include a Splatoon related pun in it.

(Ya, no. Of course not. That's never gonna happen. Lol. Feel free to include them if you want to though.)

*Drops in his own ink*

Still at lvl 37 in Splatoon. R.I.P. couldn't get to 50 before Splatoon 2.

I'm LVL 39 on my Alt for Splatoon 1, I was hoping to breach into LVL 40 last night with some rounds...but nope. My main account sits somewhere in the 30's I think....Can't remember where. So don't worry- were LVL 30's pals. Hahah.

Leveling up in Splatoon 2 feels so fast though...at least in the early levels. I cant remember if it was like that in the first game or not.
