I wasn't sold on the 4 dodge roll gimmick when it got revealed in the data mine, but shooting while dodge rolling? :catstare:

Oh, and the map's English name is Goby Arena.

  • US/AU/NZ Money vs. Love @ February 16th 21:00 PT / February 17th 16:00 AET

All Splatfests last for 24 hours.

There is no love in a world that allows gherkin-less burgers.

I bet the weapons themselves are going to do piss weak damage to make up for the gimmick, just like the undercover brella

E: mad that they have the rebound lids on the goals. Shooting baskets with bombs was the best part of the S1 test range. I wanted to make a private party and play HORSE.

Some of the game statistics were data mined and: 28 damage per shot, fire rate of 7 frames in normal mode and 5 in turret mode (for reference, Splat Dualies have a fire rate of 5 frames in normal mode and 4 frames in turret mode), and 0.6% ink cost per shot, making it the most ink efficient Dualies in that regard. Of course we have no idea on how the dodge rolls themselves are, or the exact range, so there's still a lot up in the air about it.

It's the crouching stance you take after rolling that lets you shoot faster and with both crosshairs lined up.

Is Ninja Squid a rare trait on items? I've been trying to get one with more than one sub-ability slot because it's perfect for using the ink/octobrush but nobody ever has it in stock.

If it helps you, Ninja Squid is only on shirts. The Macha Down Jacket is a Ninja Squid shirt by default, and it has three stars.

I feel like I'm getting more and more afk/leaver/trolls in my games lately :negative:

I'm almost at A rank in tower control though, with pretty steady progress. It just takes a lot of games to advance and the mode cycling really slows me down. Especially when there's a salmon run active. I really like salmon run. :getin:

What are people's approaches to playing Arowana splatzones? I can't seem to figure it out, the mid is so far away from spawn it makes it really hard to retake the center if you've lost it. Approaching from the middle ramp puts you at a height disadvantage, and using the side ledges leaves you really exposed.

Coordinate. Wait for someone and approach together. Going into the meat grinder once at a time is folly

Two possible takes:

  • It's a game for children and childrens' sense of taste is underdeveloped
  • Have you eaten European food? It can be very dubious

The brits call pickles "gherkins" and buns "baps", of course they can't be trusted to properly do a food related splatfest

Baps are a Scottish type of bread roll (and they're delicious)
