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 :<<<

Can't help with the Montblanc, but if you want some amaaazing cupcakes and general baked goods that prove Cake Supremacy, go check out a place in Ascot Vale called Mister Nice Guy's Bakeshop.
hey that looks pretty good, maybe ill buy a few the day before so i can snarf them down during the splatfest and leave crumbs all over my pro controller

yea the rails definitely make it harder for a single charger to lock down the central area (source: me)

also i dont hate port mackerel anymore its nice and open now

e: ive spent an obscene amount of time in squid beatz, i love track 17 but its so hard to get gold on it on normal, forget the finger twister on hard

You can't and it's the goddamn worst loving thing :(

I know I keep complaining (to counteract I will say I loving LOVE THIS GAME and I'm level 12 already and just played my first Salmon Run games while voice chatting with the app and it was a blast and I adore Splatoon 2 ughhhh) but it really is so disappointing. I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't be able to team up with your friends and go into turf war together. It's something every single goddamn person wanted.

i know its disappointing, but i feel its the right way to go about it because a team thats even remotely coordinated is going to stomp a team of randos. im still getting vietnam-style flashbacks from playing overwatch in quickplay as a master-level solo queuer against the 6-stack grandmaster death squad (aussie players you know which 6-stack it is, cod drat pepperpig)

i have bad news friends, i realized squid ddr (ika radio) gives little silver/gold squid medals based on if you hit every note and if you hit every note with perfect timing respectively

i don't think these medals do anything whatsoever but they're there and i love rhythm games, so it was nice knowing you all but i don't think you'll see my name in multiplayer again

ive spent an obscene amount of time in squid beatz, ive got silver in most everything but only gold in a few because my fingers get all twisty

this is all on normal though, my hands seize up on difficult and i start getting the bends

do you also have a bunch of songs that aren't unlocked? wondering when they'll show up

yea 20-26 are locked and probably the splatfest songs, the ones 35 and above you unlock with the amiibos (splatoon 1 tracks and callie/marie solos)

still holding out hope for the yellow basic tee and cream basics with something other than quick respawn and special saver, i like wearing the starter gear as camouflage but those two abilities dont really suit my playstyle

i dont know why a lot of people keep complaining about randos in salmon run, everysquid seems to know what to do and pretty proficient with each weapon. sometimes you do get a silly billy but that just means you have to try just a little bit harder

Honestly, the 'ranked' name. It evokes things like Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm, where the ranked queues are... not that friendly, shall we say.

yeah, i can vouch for how bad overwatch got. i peaked at mid-masters (3790sr), wanted to get to grandmaster this season, but it really started to grate on me on how mad everyone would get. i actually stopped after playing with someone on my friends list, i picked another hero other than my main (ana at 170 hours, more than every other hero combined, but im still a pretty decent all-rounder at everything else), we got trounced pretty badly and he said angrily in voicechat, "shouldnt have expected much from an anabot". something snapped in my head, i quit the game and havent loaded it since

i still think its a fun game but its just been ruined for me thanks to these people who keep gettin mad at videogames. rip my gold biotic rifle, gold rocket launcher and gold machine pistol

anyways you dont really have that problem in ranked thanks to no voice chat but i still do get jittery just cause of how super intense it can get. maybe i will start splatting that zone, controlling that tower or raining that maker, i dunno yet, i play games to relax, salmon run might be on when i get home from work today and nothing is more relaxing than aiming a stingray down a rush of salmonids during a glowfly event

What the heck is an anabot, or do I even want to know?

to be honest there could be worse insults, he just meant that the hero i mained most, ana, was the only hero i was good at, even though i also play a mean pharah and soldier 76. which was another annoying thing i found with overwatch, people can mouse over your profile to see which hero you play most, and if you play anyone that you havent got a lot of hours in, you might get accused of throwing the game and get reported if you dont switch heroes.

im glad theres none of that in splatoon, once youve spawned in a match, you gotta work with whatever your teams got. yeah thats right, i brought an aerospray into tower control, sorry buddy but youre stuck with me for the next five minutes, stop flopping angrily at me and lets go win this thing

agreed that salmon run is chill though. Lose on wave one, even lose rank? no biggie, shoot ill gladly play with squids lower rank then me to help them. gonna get that superbonus regardless of what happens.
