Played X Rank Clam Blitz last night and OMG at the waiting times. Over the course of an hour I played only like 5 matches. "Not enough players. Please try again!"

Japanese players not being able to join the western division + less than 1 week since the rank reset/season start + least popular mode =

I love clams... if I've got at least one person to play with. It's really not something I enjoy in solo queue, lmao.

In other news, I got my Decav gear fully seeded now! Really happy how it's all come out :>

Pearlina and SS Amiibo Acquired WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Squid sisters are cool, but not really anything we haven't seen before.

Pearl's Amiibo is phenomenal, by far the best of the splatoon collection and maybe my favorite of them all.
It's just so fluid, between the posing, and the angle of the crown & coat is unreal.

Marina's is similarly good, I especially love the glitter on the ends of her tentacles, but I do wish that they made her Eyes less faded - they just don't translate amazingly to amiibo going for accuracy.

Is it normal that players stop playing and jump on one point on the map?
I had this today, were the three other guys went on a box and jumped there continuously the whole match.
 
Don't forget, Big Run has just started! And it's been nearly 15 minutes and the golden egg worldwide count has already broken 1mil, holy shit.
 
The Grizzco cannons are so powerful, I imagine I'll definitely have at least a couple 100 egg waves given the right rng. This big run plays very differently than all the others, and normal salmon run. It's neat. It makes you feel like a salmon slaying god
 
This Big Run is really fun. The heavy emphasis on getting tons of Golden Eggs with the cannons and Goldies appearing during normal waves is awesome. The stage itself is pretty nice too. I only wish more people knew to lure and kill the Goldie at the basket to make it easier to transport the eggs it drops

At this rate, we're going to reach the 700 million Golden Eggs quota in 16 more hours or something. Hoping that I'll finally manage to get a gold score in this Big Run, though. I usually max out at silver.
 
FYI - the egg cannons nearest to the basket appear to get it in 100% of the time, So if you're ferrying eggs, it means you don't have to lure as far or waste ink on egg throws.

New Super Mario Bros 2 vibes from this big run.
 
The signs definitely look like they support 10 digits. I'm sure things will slow down after this first rotation, I'm going to guess it'll stop at exactly 1,234,567,890 eggs

It depends on the distance to the basket. The close ones have 100% accuracy while the far away ones are closer to the normal cannons. It's most noticeable on high tide.

I did specify that it was the nearest ones :p

Ok now this is fun. the powerful weapons they give you make it so easy to kill everything, but in a really fun way, and having the egg canons everywhere really changes the feeling of it a lot. No doubt we will hit that quota easy.

I do have to say though, while I did my first big 3 bosses, which was fun and chaotic, I am going to BS on this loss right here. I demand the win I deserve

ok, the Grizzco roller, plus the glowflies events, is just perfection. The amount of salmonids I kill in seconds feels soooo good. I wish I can get it everytime the glowflies show up!!!

Slosher's great! It's basically a railgun with a big windup time. With splash damage.

I don't get the Splatana either but I don't have a lot of practice with the normal variants so that might just be me.
 
It's probably getting upped every time the total gets another 100m, presumably 1 gold/3silver/30 bronze for each 100m but of course there may be an upper cap (don't know why there would be though)

The splatana I usually don't like as well. I have gotten into the habit of just using it with smaller enemies, and ground bosses. It can do wonders to mow them down. But as soon as I get a boss that has a higher hitbox, I just feel like I can't do anything. If the grillers show up while I have it, I might as well just do nothing
 
For this map specifically the Splatana absolutely wrecks grillers. Just stand on one of the two raised platforms to either side of the egg basket, the grillers will run straight at you and get stuck giving any Splatana user a free instant kill with no effort.
 
Imagine if they announced a 3,000,000,000 egg stretch goal for more maps or something. If only...

I had to work this morning so once I can play that number is really going to soar

There's zero chance we get to 3 billion even if they promised to nail everyone a cheque for $1000. With the 24 hours nearly up we're barely going to get to 900m, maybe.

Optimistically 2b might be possible but even that would require the egg pace to significantly pick up.

Despite the Stamper being my main, the Grizzco Splatana is straight up dogwater. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who despises it. I got it twice in a row last night and I for sure thought we were cooked because the vertical slash is too overpowered and I kept either overshooting and falling into water or getting myself in situations I could normally escape with Stamper's horizontal slash...
 
The wind-up on the Slosher is definitely too slow for my liking. Splatana is fine, but I had to look up what the gimmick with that one was beyond super strong melee. Had no idea that the charge did piercing damage.
 
Another Grizz Splatana hater here, it can be a real hindrance if all the enemies spawned are tall/high up and the range is pathetic for just a general slash. It ruined the PB I had yesterday where after two great rounds we got a bunch of Splatana and Sloshers in the fog and just barely made quota 🥲

That being said I do like the map generally and I still adore the Dualies for the exploding rolls which never get boring lol

Ah, that sweet feeling of relief I feel after surviving a round using the horrible Slosher...followed by the sting of misery when I get the Slosher again in the next round.
 
"If I'm sufficiently impressed by the end, you'll get an even bigger bonus in fish scales."

You hear that? We can go even higher still.
Now, in the word of our corporate overlord -

It has been more than 24 hours since the eyes procedure and the doctor said I could play as long as I'm not stressing them and if I'm not feeling any pain \o/

I feel like I am in bizarro world reading this thread about the Splatana :p
The weapon is freaking awesome:
  • Two slashes and Cohocks are gone, making it perfect to clear paths and demolish hordes.
  • No need to wait for bosses to show their weak points/openings. Only Fish Sticks would give you trouble, but all the other bosses are susceptible to the charge attack.
  • The charge attack deals a good amount of damage to Cohozuna, no need to aim for its weak point.

The Slosher is particularly good in this stage because there is sooo much floor/painting area, so as long as your team is panting, mobility isn't an issue. You shouldn't be spamming the weapon either.
  • You only need wo projectiles at most to defeat any boss, even Fish Sticks (aim to the right, to the circumference of their path).
  • If you aim and shoot to your feet, you actually paint a good amount of floor/area.
As long as your are not spamming ZR, it works beautifully in the Grand Festival stage. I'm actually happy when I get the Splatana or the Slosher cause I know I'll be dealing with bosses very efficiently.


This stage is fantastic and sooo fun, I must say. They should add cannons to the rest of the maps

Wait people are dissing Grizztana?

Agree with everything you said, but also - It's the only high damage grizzco Weapon without miserable ink efficiency. Stringer, Charger, Slosher all feel like they lose they're ink in a second if you're constantly firing, whereas the splatana lasts forever.

Indeed, which makes it better than most Grizzco weapons.
Also, another tip: jump when you're unleashing the charge, so you don't do a forward attack (which is useless 99% of the time, imo).

So is the Grizzco Roller vertical flick just a total troll? A useless waste of time? Or is there something I'm missing?

Kinda, unfortunately. I only find it useful sometimes to deal with Stealheads (you need to time it right) and Slammin' Lids (extremely situational).
