Marrying Callie!
Friends with Octarians!

I'll allow it.

What other sorts of weapons could we see in a sequel? We've got rifles, SMGs, snipers, hammers, swords, shotguns, gatling guns, proximity rocket launchers; what more could they add?

Bravo: We have a Zink Mini Splatling.
All hail the Queen.
>>145971240
Glory be to Night Owls.
I don't know why Japan hates Mushrooms so much, but they got WRECKED.
>>145970442
Grenade launchers, bows, crossbows, mines you can activate yourself, flamethrower, med kits; say a beakon that heals any friendly allies near it as if they were swimming in ink
Still quite a lot they can do. I'm more interested in new specials and subs than main weapons.
But it made Callie cry again, which is always adorable, so it's okay.
>>145972008

>>145973989
Come now, you can't win all the time.
>>145970442
A Jetpack!
Shoot to activate. Your woomy would jump and hover if on the ground, or just hover if airborne.
You fly at swimming speed, but take a second or so to accelerate. Sharp turns, upward boosts with the jump button (can't gain height), but turning backward is slow.
You'd leave an airbrush-esque ink trail. Your speed affects coverage; slower for more consistent, thorough trails, or faster for patchy.
Tapping the trigger instead of holding would trigger a dash/charge. 60 damage for a direct hit on an enemy squid, 35 and minor pushback for a near miss.
When flying, you can either release the trigger to just drop to the ground, or release and press to divebomb at a downward angle.
Would such a weapon be viable? It'd be kinda bad at inking, but really good at crossing enemy ink and being a disruption. you'd have to aim upward to hit a jetpack woomy that's zooming around in your ink/territory.
Which sub and special would you give this to make it work?
>>145975052
Stop
>>145975052
Forgot to mention, you press and hold to stay airborne, and your height is set to the apex of normal jump height. No loop-de-loops all over the sky, as cool as that'd be.
>>145974613
Who doesn't find sad girls cute? If Callie was happy all the time she wouldn't be as perfect as she is.
>>145976329
I mean, okay, say it's cute or whatever
But to _revel_ in something making Callie cry because it's "cute"?
That's really fucked up
>These Early Bird/Night Owl bants
Good shit, feels like a return to form
>>145976527
She isn't often drawn that way, I'll take what I get.
I'd go as far as to say she's drawn happy too often. So rarely sad, angry, afraid, sorry...
>>145977258
That's hardly the same thing
Liking someone drawn sad and saying you like something for making someone sad are very different
>bee comes to shit the place up again
epic memes
>>145977767
Okay, I do want to see Callie sad. So I can make her feel better.

>>145971897
>I'm more interested in new specials and subs than main weapons.
This. They're current system has held them back from creating any new Subs and specials without completely uprooting the kits of already established weapons.
>>145980770
Alright seeya.
>>145975052
>Would such a weapon be viable?
Everything's viable.
It would be gamebreaking in some cases with everyone else able to easily super jump to the jetpacker and the jetpacker being able to reach areas other team members couldn't normally reach.
>>145982242
Except for what you just posted, that's a recipe for the absolute worst weapon in the game.
>>145975516

A pro wouldn't purposefully ruin their chances of performing.
>>145982428
Minus the salt.
Can someone post some angry Callie pics?
>>145982789
Oh please, Cats n Dogs was sweet compared to the amount of salt for this one. Japs took this fest crazy seriously.
>>145982738
Pros love a challenge.
>>145982891
They exist
>>145982932
No, pros ensure their victory no matter what. Using an Inkbrush with nothing else gets in the way of that.
>>145982918
8x inkoming!!!
>>145982958
How much Ink Saver Main/Sub do you guys use? Just enough extra to get a kill?
>>145983039
They will just make sure to choose more balanced themes next time
Nobody likes mushrooms apparently
>>145983176
I use good weapons instead
>>145983038
No, true pros love to push themselves to be the very best and master new things.
>>145983176
Do they have a chart like that for Splattershot Pro and stuff?
>>145982891
>>145983190
Nobody likedOctopuseither and we still got 6x.
>>145983570
Ha, so they sample the Zinkbrush, instantly realize how terrible it is, even though they could've figured that out by looking at it, and use something else.
>>145983685
I want to slap the sass out of Callie
>>145983578
Yes, I found these on the Splat Bomb wiki page
>>145983734
Oh well, their loss. Someone else would take up the challenge.
>>145983931
And they would essentially grief their own team by being entirely useless.
Seriously stop this; put that setup on a more reliable weapon such as a shooter, see N-Zap, and it may be credible. Inkbrush is too shit by itself. You might as well try playing with the Nuoveau and never use your sub or special.
>>145983815
And these are with the latest patch data? Thanks
>>145984184
>Seriously stop this
After you.
>>145984261
Let's stop together. You stop sperging about your horrible idea, and I'll stop sperging about how horrible your idea is.
>>145984214
seems like it, I don't think 2.8.0 changed ink saver or base ink usage on weapons
>>145984567
didn't they patch the SSPs ink consumption at one point
>when you send someone a friend request after Splatfest and they still haven't answered one week later

didn't your momma ever tell you not to make friends with strangers
>>145972242
What is even fun about this? Where is the challenge?
Why not just play your rank?

Am I the only one who noticed that Marie is blatantly lip-syncing?
>>145986221
That video is hopelessly out of sync. Try watching them ingame.
>>145986552
I did, she still fucks it up.
>>145985980
Is it not fun to challenge yourself?
I love uneven battles. It was the one thing I liked about Cat Vs Dogs. Before they patched out the 3v4, 2v4 and 1v4 matchmaking. Instead we get rank based turf war which is still okay.
>>145987189
each squib counts as a third of a person
>>145986903
Not that I have ever seen.
>>145987292
Don't say that word. It really gets me going.
>>145987828
Say what? Squib? Is there something you want with a Squiiiib?
>>145987292
I hope they add an uneven matchmaking game mode.
>>145988119
1 v 7 might be cool
what if the 1 got faster respawn or some shit like what trisquads get
>>145988057
NOW YOUVE DONE IT ANON I WANT TO FUCK 7 SQUIBS WHILE THEIR MOMS WATCH
>no goodnight callie post 2 days in a row
>>145988230
Why not just have 'Zombies' mode? Where one Squid with extra abilities has to find and defeat the other 7? Getting splatted makes you join the one Squids team? If any of the 7 last five minutes, they win the game?
>>145988650
Ha.
Ha.
Hahaha...
>>145988650
Stages are way too small for 5 minutes.

>>145982242
>Everything's viable.
No. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Everything is NOT viable. Some of the weapons in this game are irredeemable shit, and I'm so fucking sick of ingrates like you (whose understanding of the game is rudimentary at best) declaring that all weapons are equal, and you can use whatever the fuck you want.
You're wrong. Don't be the moron that brings a fucking Aerospray RG into ranked and deludes yourself into thinking that you're worth your teamslot. Don't be the guy that brings a fucking Wasabi to Splat Zones and wonders why they're losing every game.
You're missing the point. It's not a matter of "this weapon is good, but they all say it's bad!" That's irrelevant. Some things are outclassed by others. Some weapons are inferior versions of others. Some weapons and abilities don't perform as well as others do, especially when you consider the map rotation, and which weapons fare better or worse there.
If you stack Defense Up on everything in favor of other abilities, you don't know what the fuck you're doing. If you bring an Aerospray MG into ranked, you don't understand the fucking game. If you use a Krak-on Splat Roller as one of your mains, you're shooting yourself in the foot.
Everything's viable? Yeah, maybe in casual fucking Turf War.

More?

>>145989060
It doesn't take 5 minutes to cover the entire map by yourself. and if splatting enemies makes them join the one squid's team that makes it even easier.
Would abuse Squid Beakons and Super Jumps in a one on one game of tag though.

Why would you use a short-range shooter with an Inkstrike on Splat Zones? How is it better than an N-Zap 85 or Dual Squelcher, or example?
And before you say it, no. Inkstriking the zone is a noob strat.

>>145996136
Not worth risking the system. Paranoia is stronger than laziness.
>>145993320
I looked it up and jesus fuck why is this shit allowed
>>145996948
>why is this shit allowed
because they don't want everyone wearing the same gear with the same stats and instead have variety in gear choice and abilities
but gamers gonna game.
>>145997390
ewwww
>>145997552
They planned for people to use gear with mismatched, one-of-each loadouts so you get boosts in many ways. But no, it's all about stacking.
rude callie a cute
>>145997390
>can't be assed to do 5 seconds of research to know what a music note looks like
>also non-existent joke
>>145997987
It's a shame. I took a break shortly after the August expansion and was disappointed when I came back to see stacking being all the rage.
I secretly wished the devs ramped up diminishing returns as a way to deter that behaviour, but I knew that would be unlikely as it would pretty much alienate their most devoted fanbase.
>>145998406
The joke is their catchphrase does not work.
How do people usually draw the black area around the inkling's eyes?
I just noticed that I am forgetting them but when I try to make the shape, it will end up too big or weird looking.
Anyone got any idea how to make it?
>>145999027
Some artists keep it simple and just bridge the eyes with a line, kind of like glasses. That might look best here, the eyes are probably too large to fit the full eyemask.
>>145999027
>the black area around the inkling's eyes
You see this makes it hard for me to believe they never thought of Bloopers when designing these characters. Even moreso when Mario was once a contender for being the star of this game.
On topic, inkling eyes appear more oblong horizontally which is what makes the black area work.
>>145999506
aren't there blooper posters in some of the maps
>>145996136
yeah, not like it's cheating or anything
>>145999506
No, the story is that if they couldn't come up with an effective original IP, they'd resort to just slapping Mario in there because he is sure to sell. He was never planned from any point.
>>145999864
Exactly, which means Mario was thought of for this game before these designs.
>>146000231
Yes but you don't consider every Mario character in such an event, especially the random squid enemies. Just the brand itself. To that end, devs even confessed that the reason Splatoon wound up playing so similar to Super Mario Sunshine, is because they forgot about it.
remember to notice Annie guys
>>146001037
>this artist legitimately ships callie and annie
>>146000558

>>146001521
Spraying away at the ground with water is pretty close.
>>145998961
cute!
>>146000558
>especially the random squid enemie
Well, when one of the stumping questions was that it made no sense for rabbits or blocks of tofu to be firing around ink and needing to find a character that it made sense for the Bloopers get a good deal of merit.
>>146001767
I can imagine this game would've quickly become a Mario Sunshine spinoff had they not come up with inklings.
The question is, would it have been more successful?
>I somehow made the thread talk about Sunshine when needing drawing tips
>I want attention
Gratz, dude
>>146002420
The story goes is that at after the rabbits were scrapped, somebody later asked at a board lunch "What shoots ink?" After a minute of silence somebody simply brought up squids, and they rolled with that from there. I'm very sure Bloopers payed no homage in their inspiration, especially given their original design.
>>146002606
>would it have been more successful
I think it depends, I think the marketing for Splatoon was crazy. As a Mario Sunshine Spinoff I doubt it would've gotten as much of a marketing push due to Nintendo expecting Mario to sell the game for them. And due to Mario Sunshine being a well received game I see it having about the same effect on sales.
>>146002671

That's one of my 3 main draws. The other two being:
1) That the primary objective wasn't how good you can splat the enemy without being splatted yourself
2) Gyro controls actually putting the innovation Nintendo worked so hard to include in the controller to good use.

>>146011489
Yeah, it didn't look right when I was drawing it but the damn Art Academy Home studio peice of shit has a thing against Undoing your work
It only allows you to do ONE undo
Once you switch between one of the four sets of Tools, ALL work is made permanent and can't be erased.
Meaning once I finished drawing the body and went to color, I noticed I fucked up and can't do anything about.
I don't know if i made any sense
>>146014498
That's understandable, you'll just know what to change next time. It's only nitpicks and details that are wrong with it, in its own right it's a really good drawing.
