The inklines in 2's Moray Towers make it pretty dynamic and less centered around a central death arena. I didn't dislike it before but now it feels pretty good. I hope we get even more classic stages with changes like that. Edit: Hell the changes to Moray Towers kind of mirror the game as a whole. Overall Nintendo did a great job keeping the good parts of the first game while changing mostly just the bad parts. BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jul 22, 2017 |

Even if it was one of the most popular choices in the Final Splatfest stage poll in the Wii U version of Splatoon. I really like the rails they added to it for 2. Gives you a lot more options for flanking and getting around.

I miss Saltspray Rig and I hope it comes back. I get the sense some people didn't like it, but in turf war I loved rushing to the back with the inkbrush and fighting to hold that territory all match.Rexroom posted:So I have to ask: What is it about Moray Towers that makes it particularly disliked by some? My personal beef with it is, getting from any given point A->B is more of a chore than most other maps, all the dropping/climbing isn't a satisfying way to get around, and eventually you've got to try and get through the meatgrinder that is the bottom level.

yea the rails definitely make it harder for a single charger to lock down the central area (source: me) also i dont hate port mackerel anymore its nice and open now e: ive spent an obscene amount of time in squid beatz, i love track 17 but its so hard to get gold on it on normal, forget the finger twister on hard Smiles fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jul 22, 2017 |

I love the new specials. I got frustrated with the first game's specials being almost more important than the gun they were attached to. Invincibility is kind of crappy in a shooter, the massive area of effects kind of screwed up ranked modes, and because of the netcode I kept dying to Inkzooka before even seeing the projectile (or the player popping the special for that matter.) I just need to get out of the habit of hitting special with the Splattershot Jr. when getting into a knife fight because Ink Armour doesn't do you any favours when someone is up in your face. (I'll go to my grave maintaining that the Splattershot Jr. is better than the Aerospray)

CodfishCartographer posted:I love the dualies, rolling around is so fun. Any general tips for using them? They get better (higher RoF and such) after you finish a roll and it sticks until you move normally, so practice knife fighting without moving except via rolls. (In contrast to other guns where you want to be hopping around or squidding a lot)

Some tips for Salmon Run since I've played too much of it; -If you don't wait for everyone with an egg to get on the lift in Marooner's Bay before inking it, you're scum. -The easiest way to die is to get knocked into the water, especially at low and high tide. Be mindful of the knockback caused by the attacks of the various salmonids. Even if you have the health to tank a few hits it won't matter if they shove you into the ocean. -When swimming back to the basket, throw a bomb at your feet if you have the ink. This will splat some of the salmonids that are chasing you. -You will drown in golden eggs at high ranks. Actually securing them without getting killed is the hard part. So if you splat a boss super far from the basket, don't sit by the eggs waiting for your team to come because odds are they are trying to kill 4 other bosses right now. Just grab an egg and go. -Flyish, snipers, and drizzlers will overwhelm your team from afar if you don't clean them out. Be mindful of them when they spawn, even if you can't recover the eggs they drop. Don't tunnel vision on killing them though cause then you'll get smacked by their friends and probably die. -If a maws is targeting you, lure it back to the basket. You should be doing this with all the bosses that chase you but its easiest to pull off with maws. -Once you meet quota, just focus on surviving if things are getting out of hand. If the basket is surrounded by salmonids and your entire team is dead, just retreat and wait out the round instead of trying to play hero. -You can shoot down the drizzlers' rockets to negate them. If you hit them from the right angle, the rocket will even fly back into the drizzler and kill it. Keep this in mind cause preventing the ink cloud is really helpful. -gently caress grillers

Salmon Run is real good and I'm already annoyed at the limited time schedule. From Monday until Friday night the only time I can play is Tuesday, from whenever I get home from work until 8 Pm. Nothing at a reasonable hour Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday, and just maybe an hour Tuesday if I'm lucky. It's a bummer because the mode is really fun.

Jarogue posted:I love when a wall just shot up in my face on my way back. Once I saw a teammate get overwhelmed by a huge wave of salmonids down by the lift. So like a hero, I jumped down and cut a path through them to tag him and secure an egg. When we ran back to the lift to escape he inked it before I got on and I got smeared against the wall by a scrapper a second later quote:Also you can shot drizzlers when they parachute and grillers are easy to kill with Sting Ray or wait for them to do the gyro attack The grillers spinning around isn't an attack, it means they've taken sufficient damage to be stunned.

Jarogue posted:I believe it also counts assist Okay that makes sense; I was having a pretty bad game where in a few fights I landed several hits but couldn't stick the last one before dying so I guess my teammates finished the job. I've seen a few people mention that they see some particularly bad play, people walking instead of squidding and such, or standing still to shoot, but after it let me out of the newbie kiddie pool I've seen some really good playing that reminded me just how much rust I have on my splet skills. Are there tiers for the matchmaking? It seems to take a while to fill up games I'm in.

I've had too many instances in salmon run where I've waited for all the dudes with eggs to get on the lift and find out some fucker just went the long way around so I quit waiting. Unless you're right behind me I'll just use then lift, it only takes a second or two to come back down anyway
