I like Pearl, shes the hype one of the group and just runs around the stage spitting out rhymes and dancing. She's not a gremlin or a toad. Also I like cake more than ice cream because ice cream gives me an upset stomach.

I didn't care for either Callie or Marie and I didn't like their songs at all, but Off the Hook is really catchy and they're both cool and good.

A neato thing that was pointed out elsewhere is that the tentacles behind callie in the single player poster could be reminiscent of both Pearl and Marina. I thought they were clearly DJ Octavio's at first, but the left tentacle is smooth and the X shape is similar to Pearl's zipper cut out shape. I really do hope they're part of the single player somehow.

Also, booted up the Splatfest demo and was immediately reminded that I absolutely love all the posters/signs/graffiti found in the Splatoon world.

gootuber looks kinda interesting. i used to use a splatterscope a lot but it got pretty tough when vsing a bad guy with a 3k with the same amount of skill cause theyd just zone you. its hard enough to close the distance without getting splatted but you had to hope the 3k either just used their charge or didnt see you when you finally popped out cause you yourself needed about a second and a half for a shot. the saved charge looks like itll shake things up for us aggressive snipers

im also liking the change to the stingray from the testfire, in a charger to charger duel the first squid to pop it would lose since the second would know where to fire straight off the bat, at least now with the wall hacks you know who to aim for first

on a splatfest note, one thing i missed a lot in tokyo were the little cake shops they had everywhere, we have a few in melbourne but ive never seen a place that sells montblancs :<<<

Brothers, plural.

They're getting a Zelda switch bundle each. Splatoon 2 for their birthdays in August.

I fully expect fistfights to result from the Splatfests.

How many players does the game support on a single Switch at once?

226 posted:

Sorry to rain on the parade but I just checked this. It's one player per switch.



I also suspect that playing Salmon Run anytime with friends refers to local multiplayer.

Ahhh that's a shame. Not a big deal though, I was just curious. Thanks for that.

Pearl amiibo for merit.
Marina amiibo for excellence.

Be honest with yourself and vote for what you actually like. Don't be like the Marie diehards in the first game that pretended they actually roasted hotdogs over a campfire instead of marshmallows.

Rexroom posted:

It'll have similarly themed amiibo outfits like in Splatoon 1. Well almost: The samurai outfit has been replaced by a ninja uniform, and the power armor looks like it escaped from Battlestar Galactica. The school uniform will be still there, at least.

Ice Cream simply comes in more varied and distinct flavors. I think you can get any flavor cake comes in, as an ice cream. But you can't get every ice cream flavor as a cake.

Is there a good writeup for tips for new players on how to play (like how to best take/hold territory, how to make best use of weapons) and how the motion controls work? I love the game but it's super-clear when there's an experienced guy on the other team.

Lakbay posted:

The motion controls are making my brain hurt, especially since there was vertical Y stick adjustment in BotW

So how was post release support like in the first game? Added more cosmetic stuff, maps, weapons?

I think I saw it mentioned they have two years of splat fest ideas planned out and they'll support the game for one year at least? Just want to know what to expect. I never got into the first game.

So how do the shops work? Are different clothes available at random times or do they not change until you've bought what's available?

Zaphod42 posted:

Its eb games you dummy, if it was a new release it would still lose 80% of its value.

If you really want to sell your games use ebay or something like leaptrade, EB is ripping you off and you should know that.

Man I haven't sold a game to EB since I was like 13. You gotta be super desperate.

Futaba Anzu posted:

so what's the diff between main abilities and sub abilities? do sub abilities not count until it hits some threshold or do they just provide a smaller percentage of the full thing?

Honestly it's the last 30-40 seconds that'll decide a match and the rest kinda feels like fluff.

It's fun fluff but in turf wars if you get down 1-2 people in that amount of time there's no way to bounce back usually unless you pop off and kill the enemy team yourself. That being said not trying to sound like I'm complaining, just what I kind of expect if I see my team x'd out around that time.

Nephzinho posted:

I see bonuses tied to point thresholds with some armor here and there, and buoys elsewhere. Armor is obvious, what do the buoys do?

haha jeez dude just restart the game if you want it that badly

Being able to skip the tedious text is pretty much the best thing they've done next to salmon run

LethalGeek posted:

The funny thing is the charger is the weapon to use on the bosses like that, so you know back up and do that.

A huge part of the Salmon Run seems to be the cycling weapon assignments.

Are the foods from Crusty Sean timed, like potions? Is there a reason not to buy them as soon as I get a ticket?

Kaubocks posted:

played a handful of rounds of salmon run. poo poo's good. won the first two rounds but then promptly lost the next three i think. salmon run can get very out of control VERY fast.

i think most of my failures came down to two specific bosses-- the jetpack missile guy and the guy with the bomb that comes out of his head. the jetpack guy i'm not so hot on that you can only really hit him with bombs. it's not really easy to aim a bomb at a moment's notice and i had a number of times where the bomb i threw just barely bounced off the rim to his missile launcher and the bomb fell out instead. the head bomb guy's problem is just that the time where he's vulnerable is super short. you need to be real close up to hit him, but if you don't kill him you then have to get far away to avoid the bomb, then you have to spend your time inking your path to him and by the time you get there he's already launching another bomb. the charger is the only real weapon that has the range to handle this guy at the moment but fuckin if you can assemble that kind of coordination with pubbies. maybe they'll learn eventually. maybe.

mode is cool.
