Curling Bomb Rush works pretty nicely for clearing away the area near the goal, and suction bombs are nice as well.

Aerospray MG actually sees some use on some maps in competitive Splat Zones, since Curling Bomb Launcher is a really good way to just lock down an area.

As for the RG, Slosher Deco does its job way better, and has a leg up on Blasters which is a good thing for it since the normal Blaster is really popular in the meta.

All Splatfests last for 24 hours.

Hanami season is soon(?) in Japan, so they get the appropriate regional Splatfest. Are you the kind that likes to meditate on pink flowers, or are you just going to stuff yourself with seasonal delicacies?

Hey guys, please tell me im doing something wrong: im grinding for speed up slots. I drank the speed up drink and wear all krak-on branded gear, but out of 8 slots i levelled up, only 1 was a speed-up. Are the odds just that bad regardless?

Nope you did everything right, you're just unlucky. The drinks have 20 uses for a reason so try again!

Thanks. At this rate I'll have all other abilities maxed out, oy...

e: ok, that went way better. The ugly bowling shirt got all 3 slots as Swim Speed Up, the shoes got two and I accidentally had put on a headgear that wasn't krak-on brand, but it still got one swim speed up slot.

I've been trying to get Run Speed Up on my Rockenburg gear and even with a drink ticket I have yet to roll all three slots for it. Sometimes the RNG is not your friend, so keep at it!

I think you can only do that on the app. However, you can just go to the home menu, find them under "People you've played with recently" or whatever it's called, and block them!

I've had to go AFK a couple times before, and both instances by the time I came back I had gotten a disconnect the game referred to as suspicious.

So I always assumed that you just got automatically booted if you didn't move for like 30 seconds. Were my AFK experiences just an unlikely coincidence?

The game automatically boots you if you don't move for 1 minute. And it's counted as a suspicious disconnect.

The long awaited version 2.3.0 patch will be released sometime tomorrow. There's a plethora of adjustments, but some notable ones include:
  • Squid Beakon now reveals nearby enemies on the map
  • You can swim away even if you activated the Tenta-missiles special
  • Baller and Ink Jet are more agile to use
  • Carbon Roller has their horizontal flick maximum damage range increased by 35%
  • E-Liter 4K's full charge bullet speed increased by 50%
  • Can't jump high on enemy sponges
  • Can't roll through enemy brellas
  • .52 Gal aim is stabler in the first few shots
  • Buffed the ink spread of Aerosprays

They're also modifying the Salmon Run rank point system a little. How that will affect everything will remain to be seen.

Looks like your Profreshional Salmon Run rank is rounded down to the nearest 100 when your next shift starts, instead of reseting to 40. Maximum is 400. So that's pretty neat.

Also, it looks like they finally fixed that bug where splat bombs don't always explode Flyfish launchers, thank christ.

So here's an undocumented change:



Also yeah, Carbon still sucks. Tenta Missiles on the other hand, got a massive boost. Mini Splatling is just so good now.

Oh, and the true effect of Drink Tickets got found out. It has a 30% chance of forcing the slot to match the one on the ticket.

That reroll function discovered earlier? That was a part of the 70% scenario. Where the game will reroll the slot 999 times until you get an ability that's different from the one on the ticket.

As a result, drink tickets do not stack with brands and the chances for getting an ability from a drink ticket pretty much matches just leveling up a favored brand. So yeah, don't bother with drink tickets with matching brands.

EDIT: Tentatek Splattershot buff was intentional.
