see how do you all know this. I have only the most vague awareness of what my teammates are doing. I'm trying to play my role and raise my awareness sure but 99% of my brain is being used to just try to stay alive. Y'all know what weapons, subs, specials each team member on both sides has and every move they make lmao how

don't mean to sound whiny in all these posts btw I just Do Not Understand the level other people are on

I'm not great at this game so I don;t mind how good or otherwise my team mates are , but last night was the first time I got mad and reported some players. 3 of my team mates in turf wars were literally assing off in the back corner of Inkblot Academy, climbing up the sign at the back and just lobbing bombs.

see I’m of two minds here because while I think pulling that kind of shit is douchey and would never do it, if I caught my teammates horsing around like that I’d think it was hilarious.

As long as it didn’t happen regularly

I did report those players in S2, but it has been so rare in S3 that I've only done it a couple of times. I mean, there is now a report option specifically for this behavior (and you don't have to write anything) :p

I hope that's the next kit because I doubt they will bring the original Ink Storm combo and I'm not the biggest fan of some of the new specials (except the Crab Tank, which I love :p)

I'm used to the Angle Shooter now, but it would be so easy to make it good: the trail should do damage, reach farther and/or last longer.

How did the camera mod work? Did they use modded Switch or was it through an emulator?

I think the issue here is that they got access to an actual tool used by the developers, and we all know how that ends, always. I do agree it doesn't do any real harm and it was really cool, but using code that isn't yours (in the case of stolen code in data breaches, for example) is always going to be risky, especially if it gains a lot of noise online.

I'm 90% sure it was a tool left in the files that was made useable through a modded client.
 
I've added a poll to the thread for the upcoming Splatfest! Pick your team now!
I think I'll also be using the first reply to talk about current events happening in/around the game, rather than using it as an archive of all post-launch content.

Yes they have. I belived they were leaked months ago. I haven't seen them though so I'll be going by my gut feeling and I say as a Ducktales fan that Quaxly is the best pokemon

Very dirty indeed. It was my go to in S2, and I had to retire it after I reached S+ in the new game. Squeezer is nice, but as I'm playing with split joy con, my aim isn't as stable as it would be with a pro controller when squeezing. So I'm using the 52 and 96gal instead. The latter is utterly unreliable but really fun.
 
This Salmon Run rotation wasn't as bad as I expected. I was aiming for the 200 VP badge in Spawning Grounds and got to 190 with a really good team of randoms (we all stayed). We knew what we were doing and the role/strength of each weapon. We even defeated Cohozuna 3 times. I got to 190 and then the battle rotation happened and lost the team 💔
I tried a few more shifts, but the new randoms weren't good and I never reached 200 😭



I was checking my monthly stats and well... :p

Hmm.

So I've mostly choose Fire Type starter Pokémon, and I'm VolcanicDynamo...

...but my favorite Pokémon line is a Grass Type starter...

...and I'm choosing Quaxly in Pokémon Scarlet.

Splatfest decisions are tough.
 
brush overconfidence
/brəSH ˈˌōvərˈkänfəd(ə)ns/
noun

the belief of a novice Splatoon player that their high DPS absolves them from having to actually try to win fights

e.g. RQ6K-1R8D-QGP5-4DLP

edit:
I should say that after all my seething and malding about this game it's unfair for me to characterize this person's struggle as hubris and that furthermore I have no idea how old they are, how much they play, etc. But I found it funny and I hope you do too

Yknow, I hope the fact they took down that sick as hell montage means they're working on better tools for players. It's wishful thinking, but I'd love freecam + slow-motion in replays, plus photo mode in private battle recon with other people (I know the latter has been hinted at in datamines!)
 
You know, I think I found something more annoying than a tentamissile special, being stuck on a team with 3 tentamissile specials and have an enemy team consist of a 4K-Liter and a Splatling Gun. Because oh my god do I love being a 1 v 4 as my team stays as far away from the objective as possible and eventually loses because Splatzones is not slow enough for more than a single special.

That's not what I said, He didn't "deserve" it. But people are aware of what Nintendo is. They hate it when people hack into their systems. And Octoboy openly decided to not only announce that he used a mod that access dev tools, but even linked to it. I even said in that post that it sucked because Nintendo fucking Draconian about it. Especially after another dumb scandal where some idiots decided to chroma key porn into their stream using Splatoon.

No???? The annoying thing is that they have used this before back in Splatoon 1. The first Splatfest commercial showed the same features shown in that mod (hell I wouldn't be surprised if those camera controls existed in some form or another for devs all the way back). For whatever reason they haven't added it to the game nor have they used that camera feature again.

The problem with Tenta Missiles is how easy it is to use it uninteractively. As someone who's been playing Reef Lux a lot (a more aggressive positioning focused approach instead of spam), snipers and splatlings are perfect for Tenta Missiles to deal with. After firing, you have the perfect opening to get in with your shorter range weapon.

People who stay behind to only farm missiles are the worst, not only is it uninteractive but also plain dumb. It's way better to preserve those easy special fills for when your team is in a tough spot.

This alone is why I'm genuinely surprised they haven't done the "can't charge missiles again until they all land" thing yet. It'd create a perfect incentive to use them interactively, since they have less travel time for opponents who are closer by.
 
Thanks for keeping the Splatfest polls going Lucyfer 👍

I was torn about Grass or Water since I'm going Gatito but picked Water starters the most overall, my love of Big Man tipped me just over to Water.
 
If you ever wanna feel better about your Splatoon performance, just know last night I forgot we were playing Tower Control and spent about 45 seconds inking a "zone" that wasn't there

Finally got the 200 VP badge in Spawning Grounds last night 🤗

Today is a holiday in my country and I just woke up, so I'll probably be playing S3 for the rest of the day :)

Hahahaha! Sometimes in SR I don't realize the weapon I got until 15 seconds into the shift. Waiting for a shooter to charge like a splatling so I can start 'playing'? Could be me 🙋🏼‍♂️

I'm playing a ton of Turf War at the moment, so when I go into Ranked I'm off painting until I see "They have the Rainmaker" or something pop-up... WHOOPS

One of the big problems with Tenta Missiles is that since targeting is based on FOV, it creates a massive incentive to superjump back to spawn and target 4 players safely from there. Stingray had the same issue in 2, the way the special is designed incentivizes using it like you're a fucking American drone strike operator. The targeting needs to be completely rethought.
 
Tower control is the most cursed mode, it gives me ptsd of other payload type games. Like I'm going to be a bitch here but if you don't like playing the objective get the fuck out of rank, you're not needed.

Ha, I was wondering why I was seeing people jump back to spawn, that explains it

This SR rotation is good, I don't understand why some many people aren't successfully completing shifts. Only once I got paired with a good team (enough times to fight big buddy twice).

I really wish the game would let you join friends in Salmon Run without having to create a room (like in Turf Wars). It's frustrating seeing friends playing SR and you can't drop-in, so you create a room but the game's notifications are useless. Unless I'm missing something, the notification only makes the salmon/mode icon in your friends hologram to flicker/blink, but doesn't actually let players know about it if they are in a game, a menu or just walking around Splatville. The host has to pray for their friends to actively and literally looking at a corner of a room and hope they see the flicker. IT'S FREAKING USELESS! :mad:

I think we could have beaten Cohozuna if our two shooters weren't dead the whole time. Like come on guys, if the Squiffer and Dynamo(me) can stay alive for an entire Cohozuna high-tide wave, you have no excuse lol

Got the Dynamo during glowflies, a team finally followed me and we cleared it without problems. Hopefully they learned, do it themselves and how to deal with the rush wave spreads.
 
I think the game is better off without Hammerhead Bridge. In its current state it isn't very fun in any of the modes if you ask me, not even when you're winning
