>>332607964
Oh. I thought I missed out on something else. I haven't played singe August.
>>332607503
I know that feel. I think my co-workers are wising up to me getting sick on a friday and saturday every month.
I just want to roll good stats for my clothes, fuck.
>haven't played since the first month it launched because I don't like Ranked and it's the only mode getting updates
I really wanted all the new game modes to be included in unranked.
>>332607834
I didn't remember splattlings or sloshers if those count
I think I was around for the first couple brushes
>>332608206
Sloshers might as well be a longer ranged, less damage .xx gal weapon. Not as horrendously gay, but still effective. Sloshing Machine is for fags in Splat Zones, though.
I really need to get back into squidkids. I haven't played regularly in like two months.

>>332607964
>and paintbrushes
unless you haven't played since the week after the game released, the new classes are buckets and splatlings.
>>332608192
Power Tower is pretty lame if you don't have a coordinated team. Splat Zones is best mode. Rain Maker can be won in under a minute if your teammates aren't dumbshits and immediately scout and capture. On Salt Spray Rig, you can win in under 45 if the enemy doesn't stop you and you take the shortcut.
I want Spla2n to be an early 2009 TF2 clone
>>332608531
The Aerospray is shit so you should
>>332608723
Any other new modes I should know about besides rainmaker? I still prefer splat zone to that desu
>>332608192
I've had fun playing only Turf War since it came out, the only ranked mode I like is Zones but I can't stand the super competitive atmosphere. At least in Turf War I can feel like I'm contributing, it's actuallyfun.
>>332608835
>Aerospray RG
>Shit
lol git gud. The only better weapons are a couple of the rollers and the .gal weapons.
I have fucked so much shit up with this bucket.
I love using the map with my slosher to quickly sabotage sniper spots. This weapon makes quick work of Moray Towers and Flounder Heights. Snipers fucking hate me.

Every time I'm about to hit S rank I go on a losing streak and am 5 points away from losing A+.
And fuck Splat Zones. Great game though
>>332609594
Aerospray RG is even better on Towers and Splat Zones. If you only play Rainmaker, you can get away with calling it shit, but I doubt you've ever played A or higher ranked on Splat Zones.
>>332609574
What is the trick behind using any of the splatling? Are their best abilities for it? I always get destroyed even with the faster charge of a mini splatling.
>>332609574
>Splatlings
>Not terribly prone to getting gibbed by random splattershot users
While you're charging up your fag weapon, a .52 gal ultra-gaylord has just killed you before you could turn around.
I love my Custom Hydra Splatling so much
I'm thinking of giving it a name... Like Anna.
>>332609932
I mostly just stack run speed, though I'm not sure if that's optimal.
You have to remember that it's really more of a support weapon, like a charger with better close combat ability.
Also, even with the regular splatling, you don't need a full charge to kill one enemy, you can charge it for half a second and still splat them, especially if you have good aim. Also make use of your great range.
If you CAN aim, you'll kill anything super fast, cover lots of turf, and can sustain fire to keep enemies behind cover. I just really love this gun.
>>332610221
>I just really love this gun.
>>332610747
Strangely enough, I don't like playing Heavy that much.
>>332608192
Get to S rank then find a friend to play with, your rank won't be affected by the outcome of the battle.
I do this to have some much needed stress-free ranked battles.
Why do splatoon threads always get like 50 replies at most before dying
Did /v/ forget about this game completely?
>>332610221
I've been trying to get with gear that gets run speed up too but it's starting to look not so worth it since I need to many of them to be effective.
I think having a special charge up and ink recharge up seem pretty cool and useful for hit and runs. Less time spent being idle too.
>>332611192
I legit think it's because everyone's playing the game instead of discussing it.

But I fucking love that stage.
It's so easy to splat fags there.
>>332608605
Haven't played the game in months, but back when I did, I almost exclusively ran Sploosh-O-Matic.
>>332612145i want to slap my cock on their underageeyebrows
>>332612424
I can't kill anything with the sploosh-o-matic for some reason.
Splash-o-matic is better imo.
>>332612424
splash-o-matic best gun, sploosh-o-matic is for gays
>>332609310
Sloshing machine is my go-to for ranked.
Once got the entire team at once on splat zones camp triggerfish by taking the back way, sniping the charger up on the wall, and then as the other 3 came to swarm me I tossed a splat bomb and it hit the wall just right to bounce off the corner and get all em.
>>332609574
>hydra
I still don't understand the point of this weapon
>sacrifice your run speed

The extra range doesn't even let it outrange scoped chargers. What is its purpose?

Except it does. The only thing it doesn't out-range are E-liters.
>and a longer stream but who gives a shit
>implying this doesn't help ink shit and take out enemies significantly
Easy to kill fags who are underestimating you too, thinking you've gotta charge up a billion years to splat 'em
>>332610871
I want to know this feel
Call me a scrub but I keep going back to rollers
AnchoV made me learn to like actual guns though. its been a while so I don't remember what I used much
>>332613218
This.
lol I remember being in C rank and everyone would use aerospray.
The splattershot is a better weapon in everyway.
>>332613218
I'm A+ rank myself, and I still think it's one of the best weapons in ranked, aside from the .96 gal. Giving that way ink strike was just way too much.
>>332613349
Rollers ARE seeming pretty scrub come to think of it.
But you're not as bad as lunablastards at least.
How does /v/ feel about the inkbrush? It's my favorite weapon. I love being able to go apeshit with it. It's a shame it's not really good at getting kills and is outranged by nearly every weapon, but I feel better about always being able to top the charts after a match because it covers like nobody's business. It's just afunweapon to use.
Makes me hate rollers even more than normal though since shit like the krak on roller somehow launches further than some guns.
>>332613575
You don't really need a brain to use a roller. Which I like because I'm bad at this game.
Granted they make up for it by being ass in ranked for the most part outside of splat zones and rainmaker if and only if your deam somehow isn't drooling retards and/or you're on saltspray
>>332613575
>Rollers
>Scrub
Someone's never faced a good Dynamo Roller or Carbon Roller
>>332613631
I feel like the inkbrush is super useless. Might be wrong though.
If you can use it effectively than kudos to you.

Real talk: why are the splatoon threads on /vg/ so shit?
>>332613748

>>332613238
>Except it does. The only thing it doesn't out-range are E-liters.
Effectively no. You'll be dealing like 14 damage and tinking(that is if your shots even hit him at that range) while he just turns around, charges up a shot and then fires. I used the hydra enough to realize this and even tested this shit out in the range to see if it was just the 300 ping nips fucking me over.
>needing the extra stream to carve a path/spot an area

I main carbon roller/deco and i've been thinking about the gold dynamo, haven't gotten into it because I like being sanic but is def up viable on it to become the terminator?
Also how did the skills get reworked? Or is there something on that I can read somewhere and i'm just asking stupid questions
Who /hategyrocontrols/ here? They're the fucking worst, I have to use analog.I still carry the fuck out of teams in Turf War, but fuck ranked in general.
>>332613983
Exactly.Though Carbon Roller is still pretty good. It requires a bit of thought to use, unlike the Krak-on, and its customs are what make it so powerful.

>>332614201
How the hell do you jump while also aiming?
>>332614241
Everytime I see one of these they either have the most frags or none at all.
>>332614201
I wouldn't be able to play Splatoon without a mouse and key board if not for the gyro. Console shooters are fucking retarded. Splatoon is the first one since Golden Eye that hasn't been shit.
>>332614201
I hated them initially but they're not so bad. My biggest problem with them isthat I sit in an office chair and I unintentionally turn my chair along with my controller so next thing I know I'm twisting my neck looking at the screen. It's stupid.
>>332613748
dynamo rollers are OP if you have a short range weapon and kind of bad if you have a long range weapon.
The only reason I switched to the 92 gal was because I was getting absolutely furious from "le jump and flick xd!" spammers. Now they're easy shit.
Carbon rollers can be annoying ambushers though if your team doesn't clean up their territory though.
>>332614201
>not liking gyro
Get used to them. They really help a ton with precise aiming.
>>332614409
>.96 gal user
The .96 and .52 gals are the most braindead weapons in the game.
>>332613631
It was fun when I tried it, but unless you go crazy mashing on the trigger, it doesn't do that much damage, and I would end up either losing or trading because my finger got tired. You shouldn't have to mash that fast to kill
.96 deco nerf fucking when
>>332614419
>gyro
>precise aiming
i've heard this from day one but i still don't get it, it's a meme right? there's no way controls that send your camera all the fuck over the place at the slightest nudge are more accurate than aiming with analog sticks
What do you guys want to see in spla2oon?
Add:
Co-op campaign
Playable Octoling
Remove or change:
Rolling system for abilities
>use rapid blaster
>mines are basically worthless
>now everyone and their mother is wearing bomb sniffer shoes which makes them even worse
They're going to buff mines right?
When you think about it, the fact that inklings are capable of growing breasts, and have vulvas, means they are mammals.
They might be capable of being knocked up by humans, if they were still around, but not any of the other fish in the series. Ditto the octolings.
i played today and didn't notice anything different
what the fuck
>>332614475
I know, but dynamo rollers basically forced my hand. It's bullshit that a fucking roller outranges half or more of the guns, and despite that it sends out a tidal wave of ink, it can flick a dozen times before needing to refill.
>>332614590
Hair styling, more single player. I don't care about anything else, just those things.
Speaking of single player, why haven't they added more levels in an update yet? The campaign was so fun but it was also too short, I want more.
>>332614551
aiming with analogue sticks is the least accurate input method
>>332614590
Getting to choose which mode you want to play
Fuck splat zones on towers
>>332614590
Bigger, better campaign.
More "classes"
More sexual costumes
Callie and Marie as a boss fight.
>>332614551
Mess around with the sensitivity. I used analog the first 4 months I played the game and could never seem to leave B-. As soon as I used Gyro I was able to get myself to A+ and now I can actually strafe/jump/spawn point jump waaaayyyyyyy faster.
>>332614590
More game modes.
Mode variety outside of ranked
Hairstyles and pants
If they do splatfests again just don't even factor popularity from the start
Dynamo roller is fun just for the seeker barrage
>>332614778
>Next splatoon
>Campaign you play as an octoling

>>332614840
They have to factor popularity, or the more popular one will always lose because of how the matchmaking works during splatfest.
I remember drawing this, thinking there would be no samurai helmet forthcoming.
>>332614910
I want the octoling and inkling to both be part of the story, like Hyrule Warriors. It's split between octoling missions and capturing the zapfish, and then the next missions are reclaiming it as the inklings
>>332614778
>More sexual costumes
But sir, why.
>>332614590
I want a school swimsuit for inklings.
A bunch of swimsuits. I'll settle for one pieces. Maid outfits too.
Other than that I'd really like a MvM-esque mode where inklings go against octolings.
More gear in general, less rng for abilities, more customization for gear, and an expanded hub

>Splatoon sequel Campaign is literally just" Splatoon Wars"
>>332614958
Wait really?
Sorry I am actually retarded and can't into math but with how they've been putting a higher multiplier on actual winrate then why would popularity need to factor in the score? Like I could see them showing it beforehand but not having it be a part of the scoring system
>>332615205

Honestly, Splatoon had the best campaign of any console shooter in the past 2 generations. There's no reason why SPLATOON should've had that good of a single player. I want to go back again.
>>332615291
It's because a match of only the most popular team only counts as a loss for that team, so if it's split 60/40, 20% of the matches are going to be losses.
There needs to be a third factor more than anything, like how many queens/kings there are.
>>332615297
Thank you anon
>>332615415
It was fun but I wouldn't go that far. Vanquish was pretty fucking fun mate.
I had to uninstall this shit. Every game is either being held back by overwhelming sweating retards or getting blown the fuck out by japanese players who work the meta
>>332614551
Just tilt your wrists a little bit. You don't need to do much for notable and accurate results. It's what I do.
Alternatively you can go into the settings and lower the sensitivity if you want to be able to do wider motions in order to aim.
>>332615524
Okay so, if it's like something like in the campfire splatfest where it was overwhelmingly marshmellow and people kept getting into matches as marshmellow v marshmellow didn't it count at both a win AND a loss, effectively cancelling each other out?
Sorry just trying to understand it
I hope Nintendo attributes Splatoon's massive success to its marketing. Otherwise, we're going to get a handheld Splatoon sequel/spinoff that they aren't going to market for shit, assuming the success of the original will carry it, and then can the series because they think the hype is gone.
>>332613763
>>332614515
I have a happy trigger finger, so I love tapping away the whole match. It does take a shitload to kill, almost always four hits. I've been considering using a bunch of STR+ to see if I could 3 hit kills easier.
During the last Splatfest, I was actually on top of my inkbrush game, usually getting 6-10 kills, 0-2 deaths. After that though it was back to getting destroyed by Japanese players. Honestly, I really needed that Splatfest motivation though. I was beginning to think that I just can't use the inkbrush, which would be very sad. But it turns out that the Nips are just naturally MLG so whatever. Just gotta git even more gud.
>>332615853
The devs admitted, when explaining it, that it only counts how many losses a team has. I heard they fixed that a while back, but even still you effectively have all of one team vs. only 3/4ths of another. Effectively, 1/4th of the team is not earning points, so another multiplier has to be added to balance that out.
>>332616002
Okay, I think I get it now. But this brings me back to my first point of, why popularity mattered when winrate was the real important thing [see cats v dogs]
Cause even from the start, higher popularity doesn necessarily correlate to wins since you could have people join and then not play or have a higher concentration of shit players. And the increasing multiplier on winrate seems to be alleviating that and that's what's got me confused
Again sorry if these are all stupid questions
>>332614201
Can't stand them. I'd rather use stick even though it's inferior.
iirc, left bumper does literally nothing. Kind of dumb you can't just bind Jump to that one so you can at least compete with the jumpshooting japs.

seriously people
get used to gyro or YOU WILL LOSE
>>332619528
Using gyro controls is infuriating
Losing is just mildly annoying
Guess which one I'm going to choose. Sorry if I'm dragging you and the rest of the team down with me, but I'm not going to suffer through hours of getting used to that shit just to get slightly better.
To be honest though it probably wouldn't make a difference anyway, I can barely reach B+ rank as is.
>>332620114
it makes the BIGGEST difference
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27477450 here have a niconico video of why chargers seem to snipe you so well
there is a reason why Japanese players who got used to Gyro controls REKT EVERY SINGLE person who does not use it
the only GOOD analog weapons are Rollers, and even they need DECENT aim to get everyone on the swing
>>332620342
Buddy I can feel my reflexes getting slower every day. I'm not gonna bust S rank against these teenage japs anyways so the way I see it, it really doesn't matter whether I get that little bit of extra edge or not.
>>332620741
>using age to whine about dulling reflexes
its why they're dulling in the first place, because you believe in whatever bull shit you're reading

Retard. I hope I never get you on my team.
>>332620741
Pro tip: put the gamepad on the table or flat surface, press Y (reset camera). And do NOT press it in game ever after the first time in plaza. By default the gyro camera is set awkwardly. Thank me later.
>>332621740
Well I'll give it a shot if you think it'll make it bearable.
I just started the game last week and while it's fun as hell, I wanna know why I get lumped in teams with guys who seem to do absolutely nothing. 0 points, no frags, no deaths but I dont see them AFKing so... how do they manage this?
>>332623657
I think it may end up looking like 0 / 0 depending on how they disconnect / ragequit, even if it's near the end. But I am not sure.
