In my road to X rank, this was my most Clutch play albiet sloppy.

What, you don't want to see the entire enemy team dabbing on you?

I don't care to see my own victory screen lol

I do get that it's kinda bragging rights now that everyone sees the winning team and there's customizations to it, but I just want to hit 'keep going' ASAP. Let me choose during the victory screen and I wouldn't be that bothered if I still have to watch the whole thing.

X battle matching times are faster though from what I've experienced.

I've noticed it seems to have some sort of limit at a minute* and generally finds a match by then. I have had instances of getting kicked at 60 seconds and having to restart the search multiple times in a row though.

*Every time I get the 'not enough players message in X battles, it's precisely when it hits 60 seconds of searching, so that's clearly a benchmark for something; however, it can also go past 60, so it's not entirely clear. I think there's a minimum player threshold to keep trying when it gets to that point, as I believe I've gotten a match every time the timer has gone past 60, and it's always done so within 15 seconds of that point.

Regardless, X matchmaking being more consistent makes sense since it just needs to gather 8 players. Anarchy matchmaking needs to deal with the fact that it gives teams the option to stay together, which can lead to weird groups of 3 and 2 that aren't compatible with each other.

The little pause when starting a search for an X battle doesn't irk me because it's actually too long, it's just me being irrational because it doesn't feel smooth.

To continue the interruption chain: after getting a disconnect or server error every now and then the game shows the "game modes have been updated" pop-up, when it's like nowhere near rotation time. No they haven't been updated, your server shat itself and I had to reconnect that's what happened

Been that way since the first game. For whatever reason they insist on reloading wherever you are upon connecting to the internet. You'd think it'd be relatively easy to update the options on a menu screen without reloading the whole thing, but nah.

y'know a better game might show this stuff during matchmaking

I know quite a few worse games that do

And by worse I mean I prefer the actual gameplay of Splatoon but the other games understand that I'm trying to play them

Just another reason I file the things this game does under "mildly infuriating"
 
I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF RANK-UP BATTLES

This is now the third time since this season started that I've done great in regular series only to get completely screwed by matchmaking in the rank-up battles, and have to redo this shit all over again.
 
I think I'd really like a bigger variety in Stage visuals. Like, a lot of stages do not stand out a lot. Even if they have a clear theme, the way the layout is made, has gotten to the point where it feels like most stages do not stick out well.
Maybe it's just me
But I hope we get more stages that really sticks out, either visually or with a much more interesting geometry.
Also, most stages are so tiny, and I miss Splatoon 1 where it felt more like you could sometimes have moments of calm and just ink somewhere. Right now, it feels like you cannot do that, it is a consant hectic push.
Oh, and
Marry Squidsmas
 
Solo Dynamo wipeout +1, I'm glad this weapon agrees with me again after all



Grizzco Slosher wildcard rotation is live btw, on the best map Gone Fission Hydroplant!

Best, actually.

Just keep in mind it pierces EVERYTHING.

Yeah, but it paints for shit, so you need the entire rest of the team to carry you and that ain't happening where I'm at.

Especially not on the Wave where Salmon Run decided to one up Anarchy matchmaking and made us try to deal with a triple Explosher comp (1 Grizz, 2 regular).
 
The Grizz Slosher is amazing. Yes, it paints bad, but 3 in our team got it and every boss just melted, and the 4th member could easily clear the Mobs.
Very good.
Then we got 2 Hydras, 1 Tenta, and 1 Goo Tuber in the next round...

I... don't understand, is there some hidden stat that put me with the worst players out there or is it my playstyle that hinder then...
In X, how did I get two teammates that end with 0/7 on a 4mn match???
And in s+ the score would strangely be three players doing good on the other team, 2 or three mediocre in mine but always one really bad, and this schema repeat itself too often to be normal.

Yes me spamming this way near the basket totally means that you should all go splat the 3 Flipper Floppers on the shore

this feels like when we burst the rm shield and me and another teammate go to ink the route to the cheeky shortcut checkpoint while smacking 'this way' just to realize the carrier decided to run head first into the enemy at the other checkpoint.

dunno how these people even get dressed in the morning tbqh

Alright, when I heard piercing damage I thought it meant the shots go through Salmonids, like how Chargers do, not that it pierces normally invulnerable spots.

That raises the weapon's stock juuuust a tad.
 
So with the new website giving us official names for the Splatoon Band members which range from sensible to wtf (Quinn...reallly?), it amuses me how the Splatoon fanbase has headcannoned so much that it's hard to remember what actually is canon.

Or...how I completely forgot that Deadf1st has not been in a relationship with Callie because damnit this is my ship and I will die on this hill!

So, is... is this Salmon Run, literally unbeatable?
8 attempts, with different lobbies, and I never got past the second wave.
I went from EVP 200%-something down to Profreshional 3 or 2, I forget
Literally never, in either game, had this struggle for a Salmon Run wave
I have changed my mind, thos stage IS way worse then Spawning Grounds, and this weapon loadout is abhorrid

So pop quiz, if you're a ranged blaster is it your job to:

A. Use your ability as a mid ranged weapon to stop pushes in Tower Control
B. Use your awful painting ability to paint the ground so the enemy can't just steamroll past you
C. Be on the tower so we can win
D. Be in front of the tower to harras the enemy

Answer: E) ALL OF THE ABOVE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE PARTY REFUSED TO PLAY PROPERLY.

I literally watched as a hero shot walked into enemy ink and refused to hit the button until they saw an enemy. Saw a ink brush refuse to get in front of me and just spam the ink button behind me as if I can do a single goddamn thing. Watch in utter horror as I manage to wipeout an entire enemy party in overtime only to see the entire team GO AWAY FROM THE TOWER AS IF IT WAS ON FIRE WHEN NO ONE WAS THERE!

Or my last game, where my team refused to ink the ground only leaving straight lines to the tower. On an enemy team with a 4k. Glad we contributed to his over 30 kills because as a Ranged blaster I cannot ink! This game wants me to be frontline, backline, tower control, slayer, distractor, and even when I do that my team will purposefully throw the fucking game anyway!

so most of this afternoon's session was rainmaker but I played one turf war with two Players who very clearly got the game for Christmas

it was pretty heartwarming, the one on my team was just standing still for a little while so I got to jump and booyah at them

there are already so many teenagers for whom Splatoon is as synonymous with Nintendo as Mario and there will be many, many more

Yeah Turf War was suprisingly chill this Christmas morning/afternoon. A lot of Full on Squid Parties during the match.

Clearly one of Nintendo's best B tier franchises.

Ok, I'm going crazy. Why does my Ranged Blaster repeatedly insists of betraying me? Five times now, I will watch as my Ranged Blaster will make the move like I'm firing....then...don't do a goddamn thing. I just lost another 5 matches because the game decided that I didn't fire a shot! Again, why does this game make it so hard for me!?! What am I doing wrong? It will sometimes stick me in the "firing" mode. despite not me firing a goddamn thing or if my finger is off the button. Literally for half the match while other players can just walk up and splat me!

EDIT: and even worse, when I do control. It's the same. Me with 20+ kills and the only one doing anything and everyone else deciding that griefing is the way to go and go out of their way to not fight the objective! What are my options at this point!?! Just give up playing the game!?!
 
New Brella idea
A Brella where, when you shoot the actual Brella part, it stays in place, for a non-moveable shield.
New Bloblobber idea
Heavy Bloblobber that throws just one big ball

Did you mean: splash wall and explosher?
Click to expand...
shakes fist in your general direction
But you see, I say, explaining in detail even tho I do not have to. the Bloblobber would fire a bouncy ball that is slower but stronger than regular one, and the Brella one is just a variation of the existing Brella gimmicks
Fully unique
Hmpf

Not a lot of options. I don't know how it's shaping in lower ranks but S+ is about being above anyone else to carry a team and if I'm not wrong it can gather players from as low as A+, so no balance.
X rank give good matches and is actually easier than S+ thanks to a more even level between players, so if you can get there...
But damn it's harsh points wise, so many +10 when winning a 3 matches serie when you can lose hundred of points.
