Do not play Dapple Dualies when Arowana Mall is in the rotation! Dodge rolling on certain parts of the map will automatically kill you.

This should be implemented on all maps, actually.

Geez, starting out at 400 also makes chunk grinding much faster. SR is without a doubt the best way to do that now. Of course this means that you are tossed into higher difficulties much more often. For some people, this is where the fun part of Salmon Run begins. :getin:

A couple of tips to deal with Flyfish at higher difficulties. Sometimes it's just best to take out 1 basket, and then leave them alone. Only 3 Flyfish can be on the map at a time, and crippling them makes it so that they can only lock onto 1 person, and make it so that the missiles come out slower, which essentially makes them a non-threat. Doing this instead of killing them lowers the risk of another Flyfish immediately coming in to replace the one you just killed. At lower quotas, this is annoying, but not really a big deal. But at higher difficulties, especially Hazard Level MAX (quota is at 21/23/25), you really don't want to be dealing with more Flyfish than necessary when the bosses spawn in sets of 3 or 4 at a time.

Do not do this with Stingers. There is no reason to ever keep them alive if you have the opportunity to kill them.

Also if you're trying to solo kill a Flyfish, it's best to toss in the bomb on its left basket (our right) first. This is because that particular basket tries to target anyone in the Flyfish's line of sight (which is likely going to be you) while the other basket locks onto a random person. So this lets you take out the other basket alone without too much hassle since you won't be targeted by the Flyfish's missiles if you're quick enough.

2.3.1 is coming out tonight. It just fixes a bug for Clam Blitz. They missed the Arowana bug, and will have a patch for that out by March 16th. Until then, that map won't be showing up in any of the rotations.

Yep, they changed Profreshional in that if your rank crosses a certain threshold, it'll start back at that threshold when the next shift rolls around.

0-99: 40
100-199: 100
200-299: 200
300-399: 300

That's awesome! I normally don't play beyond second super bonus, so I stop in the mid 100s often. Now that there's a better chance to go beyond that, I think I'll play more Salmon Run now.

When I saw XXL in its name I was expecting a really baggy t-shirt, and thought it was a very funny that Mr. Grizz would give you a shirt that doesn't fit. But it really isn't that baggy at all :(.

Had a handful of matches on the new map, turf and splat zones. It seems...fine. It might actually be more fun in Turf, it's such a narrow map that splat zones doesn't allow many attack lanes or tricky plays. It's decidedly OK, but not one I'll be looking for in future rotations.

If the pattern holds of adding a new map and then a revamped Splatoon 1 map, fingers crossed Saltspray is up next. Or Museum d'Alfonsino
