This Splatfest map is pretty loving wretched. It's got the same fundamental issue Arowana Mall does in that there's only one real way to get up the hill, and if you're not stupid enough to push past the hill you've got the map locked down.

On further thought, what makes this rotation even worse is Arowana Mall. Not just for the map itself being poo poo, but the smart players are building for a King of the Hill defense with a 2/3 chance of being in the ideal situation for it (dualies, splatlings, chargers, etc. Anything to just hold a point and shred whatever comes their way).

Arowana mall is awesome.

You can jump on that one flooder next to the center and cause a lot of problems.

Oh yes, the small platform that moves randomly and is in plain sight of four people just standing on the hill shooting anything that looks their way. Great place to be, especially if one of them has a Blaster .

Friends were on cover fire with missiles and the Bloblobber, and getting people off the center was totally doable.

Takoluka posted:I mean, it worked for me! Friends were on cover fire with missiles and the Bloblobber, and getting people off the center was totally doable. Yeah, that's the problem. For anyone not playing with actual friends who know what they're doing (which is pretty much all of the Friends side, it seems), and/or have some means of coordination, it's a complete loving bottleneck through a very narrow path that requires using Squid Form to ascend. There is zero way to do it without teamwork, while the only measure of teamwork needed for the side that got up there first is the common sense to stay on the hill and not go any further. Frankly it's even worse than Arowana Mall.

Neddy Seagoon posted:...that requires using Squid Form to ascend There's a nice little bouncy pad there and everything. Hitting the pad at the front while holding jump lets you sail up on to the part to the right of the stairs.

Crawfish posted:??? It'll land you in the same general area using the stairs would, and if they've got the center locked down anyway someone bouncing in the air is just an easy target. It is a miserable bottleneck for public matches, especially when Fam has the lion's share of competent players.

I never had that issue as a roller? I could generally bounce in there without too much of an issue and weaken their hold enough to let the rest of my team do the work. Those stairs are definitely death though.

Every time the allied flooder closest to the center point goes left at the start of the match, I lose. Every time it goes right, I win. I don't know what to make of this.

I wasn’t able to get on today and don’t wanna miss out in the limited gear To get the gear you just need be subscribed to the Squid Research Lab in the news tab. Open the Frosty Fest news article from them, then just click the button that will start the game at the bottom and the items will show up in a box in the plaza. You might also still be able to get the Halloween items as well if your news tab hasn't pushed that article off yet

You can also order the head gear from Murch. That happens by running to a person who has a gear and choosing the specific gear to order. You'll have to wait until it arrives, usually the next day.

Though the choices were pretty lame, this was a really fun Splatfest. I hope we get a few more Splatfests that change scenery around since they’re awesome. I hope they reconsider ending them in the summer and keep doing them until a Splatoon 3. I wouldn’t even care if they just started repeating. It’s such a fun and unique mechanic. The game will feel like something is missing when they end. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jan 6, 2019 |

I'm coming back to Splatoon 2 after a year and some change of not playing, and I was wondering how online and ranked have changed since? I see that rank X is a thing, and Nintendo now has paid servers. Has this led to an improvement in matchmaking and in connectivity? Also, could anyone give me a quick primer on what guns and specials are good right now?

It's still peer to peer and just as bad/good, except now you have to pay for it.

I'm about to live my best life and main New Squiffer because I'm mentally stuck on using this weird rear end gun, then. I loved Classic Squiffer, but always felt like its kit wasn't quite right.

I still kind of want the octoling trio, even though I know i'd be buying them just to open them and dump them in my amiibo box.
