I feel really stupid being given a brand new Switch but not really caring about using it because all my data for Splatoon is on my brother's. The prospect of grinding out all the gear and levels and single-player again is...not fun.

Shame Nintendo is still stuck in the past and your save data isn't actually tied to your profile.

Okay, so me and a couple of people in the Nintengoons Discord decided to run some tests on Stealth Jump to see if maybe it's more useful than we gave it credit for. The results:



Marker is visbile, though part of it is starting to fade out.



Marker is fading out more.



And this is where Stealth Jump fully kicks in.

The activation distance is honestly shorter than I expected, but honestly? Just learn how to super jump smarter. Or have Splashdown ready. There are tons of better things to put in that ability slot.

On the plus side, we discovered that squid beacons just hide the marker entirely. And considering that enemy players pretty much destroy them on sight, super jumping to a beacon is considerably less risky than super jumping to a player.


These changes make it anti-sniping tech without also giving someone a stealth kill. That's not unfair, imo.

Sure it is... It's just not cloud saved.
... And you can't copy it.
... Or choose whether things save to your SD card or not.

Why all these massive steps backward from the Wii U and 3DS? Only the big brains at Nintendo know, and they ain't talkin'!

Hopefully they get this poo poo (and the frequent connection errors, which of course you are punished for) sorted out before they decide to start charging for online.

Don't look at me!



The Wii U and Splatoon had this wonderful issue called "save-scumming," which I imagine they're trying to avoid.

Also, I can't blame them for basically putting the whole system on lockdown, because people keep trying to take the drat thing apart. The 3DS got its first major hack, from what I recall, thanks to that system's YouTube app, so it's no wonder we don't have streaming apps.

Like, it wouldn't be an issue if people would just leave the system alone, because I've met too many people who brag about how they have the FreeShop on their 3DS, like Nintendo owes them every game ever made because they got a used 3DS from their local GameStop.

Jailbreaking will never not be a thing. The onus is on the company to keep their products secure, but realistically, there's only so much they can do

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
For the love of god, do not play as duos in League Rainmaker! Get a team of 4 people if you're going to play Rainmaker there. You want everyone on the same page, instead of 2 sets of 2 people that probably have wildly different ideas about what should be done. Especially since Rainmaker is the most demanding out of all the 3 ranked modes in the game.

Luckily if you're playing duos in league, you're on a team with at least 2 other dingdongs who picked duo too

Stinger is great for glowflies when your team is idiots, can shoot down the mothership and get a bunch of bonus eggs, if you fire them at the flyfish pilot it can bypass their armor and will bypass the armor of everything, you still have to shoot the bombs on steelheads though. The big problem with it is you're extremely vulnerable to the random salmon mobs with it so get somewhere out of the way before whipping it out.

Hi I just started playing this game and it's pretty fun but is the Tri Slosher some overpowered bullshit or am I just really bad (it's at least both :))?


Also any tips for generally spotting enemies? I'm terrible at looking for the splashes and usually just die out of nowhere.

How about in Turf War? I think I've splatted a grand total of like 2 people with it and I never seem to be able to really do too much with it. Is it more of just kind of an area denial tool?

It used to be a lot worse and any old person could kill you with it unless they were awful. Now it's been nerfed so it's more of a weapon only pro players use.

Area of denial, it's handy in tower control and rain maker but in turf war, it's just disruptive and a good long range distraction.

Just paying better attention, but that will come with time. Once you don't have to think about what you are doing or what buttons you are pressing anymore, you'll be able to keep much better track of what's going on around you.

Teeth wrong.

I had several completely retarded teammates in SR today, some of whom I blocked because you stop the Crasher in Low Tide so that it blocks the only route, you are either trolling the team or belong to Go-Getter. Please be garbage in someone else's game.

I also had good games, like the Mothership round where our Stingray user had apparently determined mathematically perfect spot to shoot at to murder approximately infinite Chinooks and our Charger was either aimbotting or channeling the autistic fury of every single preteen CoD player. I spent pretty much entire round in golden shower while ferrying eggs. Bitching about bad players is just a way to blow off steam but writing about times when you did good just feels like masturbation.
