Someone datamined Splatoon 2 and found a beta/incomplete version of the upcoming Wahoo World map. There was no way to access it within Splatoon 2 itself but they were able to export it and load it in Splatoon 1 using a Wii U somehow lol. Hard to get much of a feel for the map from the video but I thought that was a pretty cool hack

There's a Wii U emulator that's pretty solid these days. They probably used that.

Also the 2nd part of the Sting Ray changes was a mistranslation. What actually happens when you try to use Sting Ray in spawn is that you will get pushed out of it.

INCREDIBLE
I don't know that the thread is exhaustive (though it's still in progress) but it's already got all the major ones I noticed, other than the minor detail that the mistranslation about the Splatfest Power also applies to the Vibe Meter in Turf War. The rest is bug fixes.

Look on the bright side.



“When a player has reached X Rank in the Ranked Battle mode they are currently playing pressing in the L and R sticks at the same time while in the lobby will cause the player to strike a special pose.”

I like the sound of this.

Changes to haunt, opening gambit, etc all seem really interesting. A good player with opening gambit can potentially run away with the game.

Guess we will see how the curling nerf works out. Not being able to cook is going to hurt their ability to be an asset in a straight up fight, they may be entirely relegated to being a "win more" sub.

Um, did we read the same patch notes? They're buffing cooking. This isn't a Curling Bomb nerf, it's a rework.

The official translations aren't... perfect, so here's a quick rundown of some important bits from the patch notes:

  • Rank X introduced - incidentally pressing L and R at some point in Rank X makes you do a pose
  • More gear to buy
  • CALLIE IS BACK, BABEH :whatup:
  • Like in Ranked mode, disconnected players no longer affect your Splatfest Power Levels and Turf Wars Freshness
  • Ink Recovery increased by 6% while in Kid mode
  • Ink Resistance buffed
  • Opening Gambit time extended by 7.5 seconds for every splat or assist done
  • Haunt activates Respawn Punisher on players tagged by it
  • Doubles Thermal Ink ability duration from 6 to 12 seconds
  • Drop Roller gives a 3 second boost on Run Speed, Swim Speed and Ink Resistance after landing
  • Comeback nerfed by giving about a sub-ability less buff than it used to
  • Ninja Squid made slower by nullifying Swim Speed Up ability by 20%
  • Splash Walls can be replaced instead of waiting for the old one to die out
  • The amount of ink and damage a Curling Bomb can do increases the more you hold the trigger - this change does not apply to the Curling Bomb Launcher special
  • Sprinklers are more durable, drink only 60% of your full tank but inks less
  • Beakons are more durable
  • Sting Ray damage reduced by 10%
  • Using the Sting Ray inside the respawn bubble will push you out of it
  • And loads of other changes in maps and bug fixes

EDIT:
  • .96 Gal aim now less wobbly
  • Dynamo Rollers and Ink Brushes ink more
  • Bamboozler hit damage increased from 80 to 85
  • Increased Glooga Dualies range after roll by 13%

Yeesh. I used to use ninja squid a lot before i noticed exactly how slow it was making me. I think this will push me into not ever using it.

No no no, the only thing that got nerfed about Ninja Squid was trying to offset the penalty with Swim Speed Up. The effects of SSU get reduced by 20% if you use it with Ninja Squid (which is like around 1 more sub in some cases.) Ninja Squid by itself didn't eat a nerf.

I wonder if it caps at 7.5 seconds. If each splat/assist adds an additional 7.5 seconds to the time remaining, then that would be ridiculous. Toss out a point sensor/toxic mist every now and then, and your gambit would never run out if your team is good enough.

Yeah but from what I always see nobody uses it without the swim speed to offset it. I guess now you have to make an actual choice

Also Opening Gambit seemed pretty good already for certain modes

What?

What was the penalty to swim speed previously for ninja squid? I’m having trouble understanding what the change is, exactly.

Like, I don’t really min max but say I had clothing with ninja squid and a hat/shoes with swim speed up mains. Do I need swim speed subs in addition to that or whatever now?
