Japanese Splatfest results: https://twitter.com/ju9ri9_yunyun/status/906805159023468544 The popularity curse is real, it seems. Aw, I was hoping Marina would lose every post-launch Splatfest. Araxxor fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Sep 10, 2017 |

With the Sting Ray buff, it looks like there's even more viability for my Splatling Power Armor setup. (Bomb Def, Quick Respawn and Ink Saver Main for quick reference. I needa figure out how to get screenshots offa this thing) Wondering what I should go for with additional effects? I usually use this set for Ranked, Tower Control especially it seems suited for, so thinking of doubling down on Bomb Defense. (Also fits the theme)

Kaubocks posted:is it true that the Comeback ability gives you four stacks worth of Ink Saver (Main), Ink Saver (Sub), Ink Recovery Up, Run Speed Up, Swim Speed Up, and Special Charge Up for TWENTY SECONDS every time you die?? I would probably stick with Last Ditch Effort for Turf Wars, since the last part of the match tends to be the most influential part most of the time. It might be worth considering in ranked for support roles assuming you happen to have no other abilities you want over it, but yeah, Comeback is far better there for more active and aggressive players.

To expand on the active and aggressive part, some of the best weapons for Comeback are brushes, rollers, and the Clash and Luna Blasters, which are all close range weapons that have a tendency to trade splats. For those weapons, which, in ranked, should be ones that push in once you have control, Comeback is somewhat of a lesser version of the Zombie build from the first game, while also allowing you to fight more effectively once you get back to the fight.

Remember that ranked matches can vary in length. So at the minimum, Comeback can last for 1/15th of the match. Ideally you don't want to be dying at the beginning of the match, since that can cost you the game, especially in Rainmaker. But it's definitely something to consider. Also like with Last Ditch Effort, the boost that Comeback provides are separate multipliers that stack fully with your abilities. Meaning that they bypass the whole diminishing returns system as well. Depending on your existing abilities, it can be an even stronger boost to what you can do.

Ranked should unlock at 5. Or Salmon Rush should let you level. I've had this game since launch and I still haven't unlocked Ranked because I don't really find turf war fun to play for more than a few marches at a time. I really love ranked from Splatoon 1 though.

 The closest and bloodiest rainmaker match I've had so far. A real nailbiter, too, we won in overtime. I was kind of surprised though, because it stops you as soon as you take the lead in OT. I guess it makes sense to not allow knockout wins in overtime?

Bean posted:What's a good gear loadout for a roller, do you think? Use a different weapon.  In all seriousness, it depends on the game mode and specific loadout you're going for. I'll assume you're talking about the regular roller, as the other main rollers are currently very lacking. Comeback is a great one for ranked since you want to be an aggressive player with one. Ink Saver Main is actually not that great of an ability for one, despite what you would think. Sure you can roll for longer, but your flicks are your real form of offense. And Ink Saver Main does not increase the number of flicks by that much. (You would have to have every single slot be Ink Saver Main just to get 8 more flicks when you can already flick 10 times from a full Ink Tank.) On that note, Ink Recovery Up is really not that great in Splatoon 2. The only part that it has a heavy effect on is if you're in kid form, and you really should be in squid form to recover ink. Special charge up would definitely be worth it if your roller has a strong special. Though if your roller has Splashdown as its special, I recommend Special Power Up instead, as that increases Splashdown's radius by quite a bit if you stack enough. If your roller has Curling Bombs, Sub Power Up is also something to consider, as it increases your Curling Bomb's speed heavily. Run Speed Up does not work while rolling, so don't get it for that. Ink Resistance Up and Bomb Defense Up are also nice to have if you can't think of anything you really want.

I'm really loving hamster ball for pushes on rainmaker. Just had one of those moments where I had to put the game down because there's no way Im topping it tonight. After killing a brush who tried to flank the rainmaker, I activate the hamster ball and roll into a pair of distracted players, explode killing them both and clearing a neat path for the rainmaker to dunk.

Here's the strategy for getting triples of whichever sub you want: If your gear's brand favors the ability you want:
Otherwise:
Note: If you use a drink for an ability that happens to be the brand's disfavored ability, I think what happens is that your odds of success on any given roll are slightly worse, at 10/36 instead of 10/35. So this scrubbing strategy will cost ~151,000 G on average in that case. What if I don't have a drink? With neutral gear, it takes on average 2,123,000 G to scrub your gear until it hits doubles naturally, which is way worse than just grinding out 60 chunks (1.4 million G). Getting at least one takes about 124,000 G on average, which is less than the average cost of 10 chunks (~233,000 G), so you should scrub until you hit at least one sub, then fill out the rest by spending up to 50 chunks. On a brand that disfavors the ability you want, just spend the 60 chunks. *Unless you have a double money ticket or you're already very rich, you're actually likely to gain chunks fastest by playing profreshional Salmon Run with a decent team, even after your second superbonus—according to this spreadsheet, anyway. But that's only true for chunks in general; if you're looking for a particular kind of chunk, you're much better off grinding branded gear. ***Disclaimer: these are of course the average costs. It might well take you many more scrubs than average on any particular piece of gear, just because of randomness. Zoran fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Sep 11, 2017 |

i'm just playing normal and scrubbing my gear once it hits level three. i'll get my "perfect" set of gear eventually even if it takes a year. i'm not bothered by the wait because sub abilities only impact so much. i'll probably do the thing where i spread the abilities i want out across all three pieces of gear. that way it only costs 30 chunks instead of 60. don't really care if that makes my gear less flexible because i'm that kind of guy who finds one or two weapons i like and one set of clothes i like and just sticks with it til the end of time

One thing you can do is try for doubles on the outfit you want to wear. The price for that is pretty reasonable—just about 100 to 150k—and it doesn't take too long, either. Then you can pay 10 chunks to fill out the third slot on your hat with whatever's missing from your shirt, and so on.

I'm more fashion > functional too so I don't mind subs being spread out across 3 pieces of clothing as long as they look fresh and match. My last set does have an odd slot I didn't know what to put in so I'm learning the pain of grinding even just 20 chunks
