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.


Dr Cheeto posted:

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

It's a cross between a slosher and a blaster, the trail does damage, the blast does damage, so you can lob it over and to the sides of cover and have it be very effective.

It also does the same amount of damage from above as it does from below or head on.

Tower Control on Moray Towers and Humpback has to be the least playable ranked rotation in the game

No, that would probably be Rainmaker on Inkblot Art Academy and Moray Towers.

Humpback is a bitch because of the terrain getting the way of trying to get on the loving Tower. Nevermind the ambush points at the checkpoints.

i like Rainmaker on every map, it's the only one that works on Moray since you can move the objective out of the central death trap quickly and not have to fight on the long range weapons' terms as much.

The new map seems good, we need more maps in the rotation that don't have a big hill in the center and also aren't Moray Towers.

I'm glad salmon run exists when towers is anywhere in the ranked rotation, because it is so bad.

I don't get all the hate for humpback and tc, never really have a problem jumping on and ambush spots just mean "sticky bomb goes here ➡" on offense.

I've hit that wall where I'm bored with the weapons I'm good at and I can't really find any others I like. I got 100 hours out of it though so can't complain really.

Urrrrrgh I'd feel a lot better dying to the Blaster if the noise it makes wasn't so drat weedy-sounding.

I disagree, tri-slosher is the weapon that's most consistently been in my games at all ranks I've been through. the shooters are all over the place though, it's not all tentateks like I see in high rank streams.

Is the pro Rainmaker strategy to hide in corners and then surprise the enemy when they either try to get by with the Rainmaker or when they attack your guys? Because everybody was doing that today and it was frustrating

Yeah I agree with you. They do have a lot of weapons planned so I decided that I'm going to just play splat fests and the occasional salmon run until they have more weapons unlocked.

I mostly play this in between other games to mix it up.

In Control Tower it's really cool, lots of tight/blind corners for ambushes if you stick to the ground but lots of upper catwalks and walls you can cover them from. Really punishes teams who just follow the tower pathway or focus too much on the ground.

Ok.

I'm a little salty that the new map happens to come out when it's 3am here. They datamined two maps for SR? Hopefully Nintendo will still release more or otherwise mix up the mode to keep it fresh.

Existential crisis after studying Inklings and realizing that her species lost to these chucklefucks.
Also possibly having homesickness due to Inkopolis not having smog, pollution, failing lightning systems and clanking machinery everywhere. At least she now has a motorcycle she can rev to lull herself to sleep.

Between all the grates in the new map, walls blocking your view and people who can't use the Nozzlenoze - prepare a bit before you go in Profreshional Salmon Run. It can get a little painful if you're not prepared for a Griller or Goldie wave. It's really fun though.

Protip - paint an inside wall if it becomes night. You've got a good 10 seconds of free time for everyone to aim at a Griller or stay safe from a Goldie Rush before they learn to jump at you.
