Do the star ratings of your gear have any bearing on anything other than the slots? I like my green converse but they're one star. If I spend two snails to get them bumped to three slot am I going to regret it for some strange reason?

Stars correspond to how many initial slots it has and nothing else.

And how fast sub abilities are unlocked. A 1* hat with two snail slots will fill up with abilities faster than a 3* hat. So if you're grinding just for scrubbing, use three 1* pieces that you snailed. Source: thatSrb2dude demonstrated this on stream two weeks ago with snails from Judd.

I had no idea that was a thing, thanks for pointing it out.

I heard the people of Inkopolis don't actually comprehend that she's an Octarian.

It's less that they don't comprehend it and more that Inklings don't give a gently caress what you are as long as you're fresh enough.

What the heck is going on when I'm being "splatted by the rainmakers barrier"?

When the barrier explodes whichever team did less damage to it dies if they're in range. You can sorta see what color it is when it's expanding, and if it's not your color get the gently caress away from it.

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?

Swim Speed Up that is

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!

bomb rush against a jetpack to quickly solo it in one cycle if the rest of the team isn't there yet

Assuming you're not being swarmed at the time, you can one-cycle Flyfish if you throw a bomb in right when the basket opens, immediately refill your ink and throw the second one before they close again. The timing is more generous than you might think, but it's not easy.

You'll hear a very distinct ding noise if you score a direct hit with a blaster, which is both extremely satisfying and lets you know you're doing it right.

Just bought this during the sale, and it's still a pretty dope game. Is it just me or is selecting the jump spot really unintuitive now? Okay have just been really high but it doesn't seem familiar stall from splatoon1

If you're trying to jump to a teammate, open the map, hold down a direction on the dpad and then mash A. It's arguably quicker since you don't have to look down at the tablet anymore.

Seconding the suggestion to experiment with weapons until you find what works for you. You look to be using mostly short-range stuff, maybe try some longer range weapons like the gals or squelchers or whatnot. Being able to outrange people in combat instead of getting all up in their face is a very different experience.

In Training posted:

Maybe give the 52/96 gal a shot, they're similar to splattershot Pro with higher damage per shot and have some fun sub/special kits.

.52 Gal Deco is my jam, good range, good damage and the sub/special own.

The Aerosprays are the shortest ranged shooters in the entire game, and the tri-slosher is fairly short range as well. You'll give up the ability to ink crazy amounts of ground but in exchange you should be a bit more combat ready.

Oxyclean posted:

Isn't the sploosh even shorter ranged then the Aerospray? I remember actually being kinda decent to point blank people with it, but I doubt its an optimal strategy.

I could've sworn this was not the case, so I looked it up - the Sploosh is indeed much shorter ranged than the Aero. The former feels better to play with for some reason though, possibly because of Splashdown.

Thank you. I'll give it another shot with this in mind. Advice on rollers always welcome as well. My weapon of choice is the tri-slosher which I'm really starting to get a hang on and I find the umbrellas to just be cool even if I'm not so good with them, and while shooters are generally easy to figure out, the unique weapons like rollers and brushes still don't make much sense to me.

Brushes are essentially a melee weapon, and you can get around extremely quickly by holding the fire button and running. Sneak up on someone and mash the button and hope they die before they can react. Rollers can be flicked vertically for a much narrower but also longer range shot if you jump first. Don't fall into the trap of trying to run someone over - if they see you they can just walk backwards and kill you before you can ever catch up to them.
