The splatanas are, as far as I can tell, very reliant on getting someone with the charged attack for a kill. The basic baby swipe is more for inking turf. The problem with it though is that it's basically worse than the other two melees - the octobrush is a much better 'agile melee' weapon, and the roller is better at inking turf and winning point blank 1v1s. They definitely need some sort of love. It might be too early to say which of the two is better, but so far I'm leaning toward the stamper simply because ultra stamp (how does the stamper not have ultra stamp wtf nintendo) is kind of a crap special right now.

Seems like in the meanwhile mid range poking with them might be another way to take advantage of them. But yeah they seem pretty iffy at the moment. The stamp really needs fixing. I dunno why they broke the hitboxes, but it turned that special into a kit killer.

Anybody know yet if there are extra rewards for finishing every level and/or finishing every level with every weapon?

Finishing every level, yes. Every weapon, no. Don't do it you have so much to live for.

Speaking of specials, man the new reefslider special is atrocious. Slow startup, slow stop, small radius, doesn't really ink much ground, doesn't force opponents to move all that much, leaves you vulnerable afterwards, and even the smallest bump blocks it. Funny as all heck to get splats with it though. Is there something I'm missing with using it, or is it just really Not Good?

Yeah, post-game at that concrete pad thing at the base you can trade 999 to a Sheldon drone once a day. I assume you can get more of the locker decorations and maybe other stuff.

There are some situations where you can catch people off guard but yeah, it’s not one of the better specials. It’s mildly better than Splashdown at least? Also on the special front, I got more used to how Trizooka controls and it’s a really nutty special. Can you all believe this thing used to have double the shots available and much stronger hitboxes in 1?

Maybe I just need to get more used to stopping early. Will give it that it's better than splashdown, at least. They'll make splashdown good! one day!!!

I've gotten so many kills seeing someone run into what I know is a dead end and popping the slider to go after them.

Some of the recommended weapons are more “we designed the level around this weapon.” Like for example, that one ride rail level where it recommends the tri stringer? Yeah that weapon is just rear end. Splatling and Rapid Blaster shatter that level.

btw how do you make your own fake miiverse posts anyway? don’t see the option for that anywhereFedule posted:First map spoilers: It owns how much they committed to it, they even gave the map for the crater lots of empty space where you’d assumed new levels would be filled in. Going in I was kinda prepared for the single player to be a step down from the Octo Expansion and I did a bit of an eye roll when I got to the city and was met with the usual “Oh no the Zapfish is missing! btw that old guy over there is looking at you funny”, so they got me good with that one Augus fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Sep 11, 2022 |

There’s a box that kind of looks like a mail box in the main Avenue that lets you make posts. Edit: it’s red and has a slot that kinda looks like it’s for mail.

JFC... just trying to scan in Amiibo to get to get rewards and it's plagued with Communication Errors. So I'm scanning, getting like 1 of the 3 rewards, communicaiton error, go to the lobby, maybe get another error and start over or maybe connect to the internet, back to the square, walk over to the Amiibo scanning thing, scan again... hope to get all 3 gear pieces. What an annoyance.

If a communication error interrupts the process it doesn't give you everything, just what gear showed up. Anyway, for those that are interested in getting the Amiibo gear, you need to first register them in Splatoon 2. Once you do that, they will then give you all the gear pieces when you scan them into Splatoon 3 for the first time. If not, you'll get only 1 or nothing apparently. Was a lot of resetting/scanning.

Yeesh, It feels like the community just kind of left me behind after Splatoon 2 and I don't know what changed. I'm definitely not a top tier pro player, but in 2 I was at least competent and could contribute and hold in the top 3, but every game in 3 so far has just been a slaughter with the other players flying all over the place and pinpoint aiming me down instantly with any weapons kits and maxed out clothes. It feels like the skill ceiling jumped after I finished 2 and I just never kept up. Fortunately salmon run has been a crazy new addiction.

Your egg throw gets upgraded to a cannon and you use that to kill the big guy. ScootsMcSkirt posted:big fan of the shuttlecock special. Its great cause once you set it down, youre good to go.
