If you're wondering how to kill Flyfish with the Splashdown, don't bother doing it at all. You have to land on top of the Flyfish for it to work, making it a nearly pointless nerf!

It may have been coincidence, but I think I shot a basket off a flyfish today using the inkjet cannon? Can anyone confirm that?

So is anyone else having teams full of nothing but disconnects? I think I've had about 2 of 7 matches so far where somebody hasn't quit and once you could tell right from load in someone left. Is everyone playing this on a 3G network in a fallout shelter?

Edit: it's just way worse than I usually see things.

I posted about it earlier this afternoon, but there was a good half hour where I was just getting straight connection errors for everything. Not even limited just to Splatoon 2, it happened in Arms and Mario Kart too.

Loving this new map. Though it is kind of difficult to get to the enemy's spawn point. But once you are there you can cause some serious damage while holding the other team on their platform to distract them.

Well... at least until others learn how to stop me

Two direct inkjet hits in the canisters of a flyfish will blow them up. However, its super finicky; if the inkjet blast hits the lip of the canister it doesn't do a drat thing. I consistently struggle to actually kill flyfish with the inkjet even though it seems like it should be so easy.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I'm leaning towards not liking that new map. At least for turf war. Matches get decided in last 10 seconds of play because people don't try to hold and defend. They just push until they die and I find it's real easy to take back the lead there. I had a match where we won but had been outclassed the entire time but got couple of lucky splats to win and I've been on receiving end of this as well. I don't know why but it just seems way easier to push back.

Last night I went on a murder spree hiding on the wall below the grating walkway leading towards the center mast. Squidkids would walk over my spot and I'd jump up and splat them, it was great.

The only way I can help if to say this: I hate it too but I hate it less after playing rainmaker with the sloshing machine last night. Sitting back and being able to see the rainmaker carrier was great and I made a death for them safe for us line to the platform more than once that painted it and got us the win. It's not useless.

I also died by activating it thinking I had something else multiple times but eh

They're reskins of normal weapons. Do you like the vanilla Splattershot loadout? The Hero Shot Replica is the exact same gun with a fresh new skin so you can look cool and double-dip on freshness bonuses.

The new map seems bad for splatzones. Once one team takes control that's usually it for the game.

Some of the hero weapons look way cooler than the usual ones. Especially the Hero Shot and Hero Brella.

The Hero Shot is the most drastic departure from the base weapon and looks like a goddamn P90

The Hero Roller has the stats and loadout of the Splat Roller but the model is a repainted Carbon Roller

The Hero Splatling looks a lot more like the Splatoon 1 Heavy Splatling, with the tank mounted parallel to the barrels instead of angled. Lots of chrome on this one.

The rest of the hero replica weapons have the same models as their base weapons. I like the Hero Octobrush especially, the neon pattern makes the octopus really stand out!

It isn't, it comes with burst bombs and splashdown and has the exact same firing characteristics as the Splattershot. Here's Sheldon on the weapon:

quote:

The Hero Shot Replica is a different aesthetic take on the standard Splattershot model. This weapon came about after I made a breakthrough in my research and managed to create the ultimate weapon! Sadly, it never made it to mass production because the guys at the factory couldn't wrap their heads around my advanced schematics... So instead they just slapped some shiny parts on a standard Splattershot and called it the Hero Shot Replica. But it sure looks fresh, doesn't it? Give it a shot sometime.

What does the Sloshing Machine do that the regular Slosher doesn't? I'm comparing them in the test room and they seem to have about the same range and spray but the Sloshing Machine has fall-off damage and the regular doesn't.

The sloshing machine is like some weird blaster hybrid and every shot has a spinning exploding core to it.
