You'd think that by overachiever people would know not to shoot the goddamn fan before the other players that just picked up the golden eggs from the same boss as you are on the platform.JackDarko posted:Every one of us is an overachiever and it’s the third wave.

Learning to not be a hero in Salmon run when you’ve met Quota and time is about done has been conducive to success. Just had a similar run. Wave 3 on the beach with fog. We were over quota with ten seconds left and I notice everyone is splatted but me. There were two steelheads, two grillers, and a stinger coming after me (that I could see, fog and all). Just painted a path with my mini splatling to the other side of the map where nothing was spawning. Next thing you know, I'm a profreshional.

Owers posted:That, and the Drizzler. That rain cloud attack is deceptively powerful, and not many people seem to realise you can shoot down the missile before it has a chance to create one. If you see a floating green football, for the love of god take it out. It takes like two shots. You can even defeat the Drizzler instantly if you deflect the missile back at it, though it's nearly impossible to do. Key to reflecting the rocket back is positioning yourself to directly face where it was launched from. Look at where the drizzler is aiming and try to stand there. If you are positioned right, this will almost always result in the rocket flying back in its face. It can be wonky though with certain weapons like the dualies, presumably due to the dual hitbox.

Speaking of dualies, they're ruined for me since I'm so used to playing with the brush. I constantly try to mash jump while shooting and send myself careening off into a giant enemy or even worse into the loving ocean.

I finally decided I would try to play paintbrush in ranked. The team had 2 other brush users against another 3 brush team. I don't think I'll ever use the brush again, it was a terrible experience.

The thing I have learned to fear most in this game are people who have mastered the Dualies. Really hard to hit because they can just dodge roll out of the way several times and can gun down anyone in firefights in a matter of seconds.

They can dodge twice before they have to take a breather. Keep a bead on 'em, try to outrange them, and above all, don't panic.

Yeah my 3 favorite weapons right now are Dualies, Squiffer Dualies, and the Zapper. Splatting fools before they have any time to react, and if the get the drop on me I'm crazy mobile so I can usually squid, sneak around, and shoot them before they can manage to adjust aim.

Squelcher dualies are my favorite because they let you do something that was never intended. The dodge feature was meant to break distance but because they're so longrange the weapon actually just has a free disengage that makes it nearly impossible to die if you know what you're doing.

I'll leave people behind 100% of the time in that situation. For getting eggs back and moving on to boss killing, time is crucial. Painting the sides of the elevator platform so you can get up it at any height is the real key. I'm constantly getting crushed in ranked mode here in Japan, but the trade-off is my salmon run clear rate with pubs at profreshional is about 60%.

Painting the sides of the elevator platform so you can get up it at any height is the real key. Except stingers gently caress that up so all you're doing by raising the elevator first is probably getting someone killed if there are any enemies around and they weren't expecting a wall to be raised in their face. Don't do that, its dumb.

Wait 2 seconds and all use the elevator. It's the right move.

You can turn your camera to confirm someone is coming and waste maybe a second while saving them time. Or you can raise the elevator right away and risk the team member being on one of the sides not inked/the side shot up by stingers. Then they get mashed against the wall by a steel eel and you have to waste way more time reviving them.

Yeah, you guys are right. If people are a few steps away from the lift and heading towards it, or the situation is dangerous it's best to wait. I do think painting walls (especially the elevator walls) and using them liberally is really helpful for speeding up your movement and dodging the salmon that get disrupted easily by height. A lot of people overlook the shortcuts and run up the ramps / use the elevator as intended every time.

We all knew drat-well who the final boss is gonna be, and the other part of has been telegraphed in flashing neon lights for months. By Nintendo themselves, no less. I'm generally all for keeping big reveals and the like spoiler-tagged, but there is absolutely nothing there that people haven't already guessed ages ago.

Yeah the only reason to leave people behind is if you're going lost immediately if you don't. There's really no good reason to do so otherwise. I've lost games because people couldn't wait one second for everyone to get on.

It's the worst when you're in danger down there and you've got a weapon that can't ink the side quickly. However if the team's just splatted a lot of salmon down there, we're running a bunch of eggs and it's relatively safe, I won't bother waiting

Here's a tower control tip for you newbs out there; more squids on the tower make it move faster, but don't have your whole team on there. I got my first quad a bit ago, the first shot took out 3 people at once and then I tap shotted the last person to death. >> Also that choke-point in Port towers is insane. If you manage to get it under 30 points you pretty much have the match. Slinky Weasel fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Aug 2, 2017 |

I think I found the one thing the Sting Ray is good for: Salmon Run. Not only can you use it to revive idiot teammates from the other side of the map, you can also just use it to shoot Flyfish out of the sky without any of that tedious mucking around with bombs

Yeah, the Stingray is deceptively powerful in Salmon Run. You can bypass most bosses' bullshit with it instead of loving around with Steelhead bombs or Drizzler umbrellas.

 We lasted into the third wave, where we timed out because we were having trouble with the number of baddies. I was really surprised at this guy's score - I'd seen them leading a brawler directly away from the low tide zone toward the stern but didn't notice they weren't actually shooting anything bandaid.friend fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Aug 2, 2017 |

My favorite thing about the Switch and Splatoon 2 is when the Switch decides that the best point to lose connection to my joycon (but only the left one) is when I try to hit down on the d-pad to choose "Exit" so that I do not continue matchmaking.

Get that sent in for repair, dude. It's a known defect that takes less than a week to get sent off to fix. Your squidding experience will be much improved.
