How do the sunday squid squads normally work? I've only ever played the regular multiplayer, do I have to friend everyone involved first? And what time do they normally happen? I'm all the way over in Australia and it seems like most goons are in the US, so timezones might work against me.

You have to friend at least one person involved in the group. They happen roughly 12PM PST / 3PM EST? We don't have a set time, that's just my guess at when they've happened last.

You can either use this link (which expires in 24 hours) to connect up to the server from the discord site or download the program and add the server. In my experience, downloading it is more reliable than using the site. We generally get together Sunday afternoons (CST) and squad up or turf together until we get enough people for fun stuff.

I am SO HAPPY to see people interested in joining in the Sunday squidnanigans! I made my very first reddit account a few days ago for the sole purpose of trying to find extra people when we are short. Also! HOLY poo poo I just fell in love with the rapid blaster pro. I was playing around in rainmaker and I think I stumbled across the proper way to play it because I was continuously racking up k/ds of 11/4 ish. I just have to remember to sit back and use it to harass the poo poo out of everyone who is focusing on the prize. I am awestruck because of how frustrating it was getting that weapon to 10,000 points when I first played it.

I really love the NZap, but I am not all too sure on point sensor/kraken. PS doesn't seem like it'd be all too effective on short range weaponry. As for Kraken, I have nothing against it; I just haven't made it all too useful the times that I've had it. Might have to stick with the '89 when I use that type of gun.

Point sensor probably isn't as immediately useful on an NZap, but it does at the very least make your teammates more dangerous too.

theres finally a true anti sniper weapon and a reason to pick one that isnt the elitre with its horse poo poo range. also a sniper that can defend itself against burst bombs and rollers/blasters just poking them from underneath nzap feels kind of bad and a mobility/ short range attack invincibility was not really the kit it needed. it will improve its performance on kelp / moray / flounder / satspray by giving it the opportunity to pop special and capture a perch i guess thats a fair buff on some of its tougher maps (kelp isnt really much of a buff because of how much of the verticality of that stage is grates) but thematically i was hoping it would get inkzooka. I think they acknowledged it would be a bit too much when the other two nzaps are still popular choices with solid usage i guess all the kits information are out now? did the aerospray get something equally wishy washy as nzap or did they end up giving it a really good special like inkzooka/bubble e: oh i forgot ive been practicing the range blaster for a few days because im interested in trying out the ranged edgelord. that one too. do we know what the ranged edgelord does yet

Dang... I've wanted Burst Bomb/Wail for a long time, but I didn't envision it on a blaster... The upside is that there is now a blaster that let's you ink your feet effectively, but I feel like I don't get where a Burst Bomb benefits a blaster offensively. The new N-Zap just also rendered the Neo Sploosh-o-matic useless. edit: Oh, I guess the Japanese patch notes are out too, but I don't have time to read them before work. Here's a link: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/wiiu/soft/agmj/update/index_280.html edit 2: Screw it, I can take a few minutes and point out some highlights: -Stealth Jumpers can't attack until fully landed now -Ink mine now has a shorter time to detonation once triggered -Rapid Blasters and Sloshing Machines now have faster running speed while firing. -All nozzlenoses do additional damage to Rainmaker shield. kidfresca fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Jun 3, 2016 |

The English patch notes are also up. kidfresca posted:-Ink mine now has a shorter time to detonation once triggered According to the official English notes, they "reduced the distance the player is moved backwards when placing an Ink Mine". Which is, uh, an interesting alteration. Did they get that translation right?

Consider the change done for the Splash Wall for example: "Fixes an issue where players could jump higher than usual by touching an opponent's Splash Wall."

I remember seeing exploit videos featuring this, and it seemed really cool but extremely circumstantial. Like, you'd have to team up with an enemy with a Splash Wall to pull this stuff off. Nice to see they're nipping it in the bud for the super rare chance that it affects normal gameplay.

Nzaps cut through me like lightsabers online, gently caress that gun. (Alternately, gently caress me for not developing its users' precision and reflexes, but I'm salty either way)

I want to like sloshing machines because I like sloshers but it seems to me that it's essentially a weird blaster that penalizes you more when you miss. At least the projectile lands; but I normally don't fire blasters wildly into the air, either. Maybe someone will change my mind.

So long as you are at about the same height as your target, just stick once directly and move. If you get at least one of the two shots in directly, your second can be sloppy and still get the splat. It's pretty good at painting turf and has good range so you usually have enough paint to dodge in. The possibility to lob shots is situational and is a nice bonus but don't rely on it all the time. The gun isn't a mortar.

I like the sloshers, excellent area coverage and range, you can be incredibly mobile with it as a weapon.Gimbal lock posted:So long as you are at about the same height as your target, just stick once directly and move.
