Calle is the best squid.
Also do you have gray or neon joycon?
This thread is dedicated to this angel
Friend with Octolings!
>>181060578
i have the neon ones, i not a fan of the splatoon ones i feel that green and pink don't combine that well
>>181060578
More like Marie is concerned about her cousin and wants to stop a mad cephalopod whilst Callie freed an evil despot because she thought she could experience fame among the octolings because she didn't feel as loved as she thought she should be among inklings
>>181060578
Neon. I'd totally buy the pink and green ones, though, because I'm a sucker
>>181060578
Neon. Grey are way too utilitarian for my taste, black developer joycons look cool, though.
>>181061495
>utilitarian
I don't think you know what that word means. They both have the same functionalities.
>>181061495
I like the grey, though I'd love an snes version of the joy cons.
>>181060578
Still cant decide which set to get..
>>181062146
It was used in the context of aesthetics, not function.
>>181060578
Grey, but I'd like to get the Splatoon ones as well
>>181060578
Both.I have two switches.
>>181060805Shy Octos are pretty cute
>>181065692
>being so rich you can afford two switches
REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>181060578
Grey. I hardly ever user them and mostly use the pro controller.
>>181068318
Actually, I'm poor. Ridiculously poor. No one in my family works.
>>181068318
>It's just to minimum wage full time paychecks...
I could afford five. And, smash four just to taunt you.
Don't forget
Careful now.
>>181073728
Seeing this image made me finally realize what was missing from my life. I rode the tower, anon. We won the match.
>>181070383
>smash 4
Do it faggot.
>>181060578
grey. love me my uniformity
>>181060578
>inklings made it to mario kart
>callie and marie didnt
foreshadowing of getting rid of the duo
>>181081991
Splatoon 3 is going to be all octolings.
>>181081991
but Callie can't drive, and Marie would fall asleep at the wheel
>>181060578
Neon. I want the green and pink ones though, and I'll be ordering a pair once Nintendo gets their shit together.
>>181080521
This makes me realise something: Splatoon weapons would work very well as user icons for the Switch. There's probably too many of them to add though.
>>181083476
I think Marie's seat would be wet at the idea of her hurling shells bombs and other misc stuff at other people to cause them great.. coin loss.
And cmon man, donkey kong can drive a kart, im sure callie can too
>>181081991
technically its also happening in-universe
the squid sisters are more or less phased out by this point due to their separate agendas splitting them up
they're more or less a fad that had run its coursebut its more than likely that they'll come back together after hero mode's over or a patch gets added or something
woomy
>>181085915
splatoon 2 soon, time to get hype
>pre-ordered today
22 or 23 more days or... crushing waiting
>Splat Zones for the next 3 hours
>port mackerel zones
how do we all feel about this rotation? personally i find it fun but i know a lot of people despise it
>>181091104
I think it's pretty meh but most of my splat bros hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns going supernova so we never squad during a Port Zones rotation.
>>181091104
I like Port Mackerel splat zones, in fact I enjoy splat zones a lot more when there's two zones to capture. I hope they don't ditch that concept in the sequel.
Are you guys planning any special virtual meeting / celebration by the day the game is released? Like a midnight rush?
Also, physical or digital?
I believe it's so nice to have it with me anywhere I go without any concern if I am carrying the cartdrige, but at the same time feels so nice to actually have a physical box to hold dearly.....
>>181093854
gonna go straight to multiplayer,then go to salmon run (if it is available) if not i'm gonna make a squad or do a private lobby with friends, the single player can wait
>>181093854
Going to host a little get together with some of my friends who are also really into Splatoon to do the single player then Salmon Run. Going digital
>>181093854
Physical.
I like having my games as tangible objects.also, I'd rather save SD space for digital-only games and DLC/updates
>>181093854
digital
carts can get lost
>>181094927
>not keeping track of your carts
I went digital last time because I fucking hate disc. At least with carts my only worry is keeping up with them which I have no problem with.
>>181094050
>the single player can wait
b-but we gotta save Callie.I'll probably blast through single player first day if its as easy as the first game.
>found switch in stock
>won't get shekels until next week
They're going to be gone by next week aren't they.
>>181093854
Nothing special planned for me. Two of my friends have Switches so far and I don't think they care for Splatoon as much as I do (that's their loss). I'll pick up a physical copy on my way to work, endure the slowest fucking Friday ever, then go home and play turf war until I unlock gear, and then spend the rest of the evening in single player.
>>181096621
What weapon are you going to main during single player? The same as you usually do in multi?
>>181096650
Let's be real, they'll be gone by tomorrow anon
>>181096742
Blaster. I'm hoping it doesn't take everything out laughably easy.
>>181096347
the operative word being "can"
i have a booklet for all my DS games that i still have, and planning to update it to a plastic case
its mainly keeping my console and all my games in one place and accessing them from the menu instead of using the slot
though the clunkiness of disks was also a factor along with the switching business
>>181096846
Fuck.
>>181096742
>potential poll
i'll bite
campaign: dualies, scoped charger (need to work on my sniping)
online: splatling, jet squelcher, inkbrush
judge me ya inkblots
>>181093854
If there is a midnight release, ganna jump in on it and get to single player to see what happened to Marie.. and I guess Callie.
But for the day itself, got two bigass jugs bottles of Kahlua that was on sale today. 15 dollars each and they feel like a liter each. probably bake a few potatoes and have a steak after getting home for the midnight release. even bought 4 trays that hold 6 2x2x2in ice cubes for like 10 bucks.
I spend so much time in the first game and never been this excited for anything in months.
>went from A to 22 B+ in a single night
>too afraid to continue playing and drop to B
>>181098302
I usually buy a random bottle of wine every Friday, and Splatoon 2's launch won't be an exception. Maybe I'll get a bottle of something extra nice for launch. I haven't been this excited for a video game since Half-Life 2 thirteen years ago (jesus christ).
when do you think the next direct is gonna release, thread?
>>181098351
>lost my S+
>tfw trying to get it back
>>181060204
i wonder if the new changes to the charger will make unscoped more appealing to everyone, since unscoped lets you keep your charge while moving and you have a clear view of the whole place, meanwhile with scoped chargers you don't have the stored charge but the range is longer and you can have a closer view to where are you aiming at
>>181099323
>Not getting back the + in that same rotation
Better stay in S, anon
>>181099094
Probably never. I can't think of anything else that they can elaborate on with a Direct, unless Nintendo has one more surprise hidden behind their backs. Even SplatoonJP is starting to wind down. All that's left to show is Inkopolis Square and its shops, and probably unveiling who or what will be running Splatfests/Inkopolis News.
>>181100406
well duh
we got less than a month until Spla2n comes out, obviously there'd be nothing to elaborate on without spoiling content
i meant the next direct in general
>>181099556
I think I'll stick with the scope but I'll give the non-scope chargers a try before I swear them off
>>181100406
they gotta do a direct, there is a lot of info missing still like, what are the salmon run prizes and show if they are gonna be a event based thing, also they need to show the new ranked system and how the ink league is going to work, same for who is going to announce the news or who are the new shopkeepers for the gear
>>181091104
I love it. A really fun map/mode.
>>181093854
I'll celebrate by shitposting on /ink/. I'll probably trip the night after the game gets released because I expect to be feeling quite happy. The 21st will be a fantastic day
>>181099323
The key is to stop playing the moment you hit S+, I haven't played in three months.
>>181099323
>lost S+69
>struggling to get it back
>every time I try to lose on purpose to get down to 69 my team wins while I run in circles at spawn

Fun night.
Did this anon >>180690994 ever finish drawing those three squids or did I miss it?
Too bad the WiiU lacks a screenshot button
>>181105474
Leave drawfag alone. You pressuring them is why they leave
>>181105476
It does have one, its called the homescreen button into web browser.
>>181098302
>jugs bottles
>>181107570
They are huge
>>181091104
Port mackeral is awful in general. As a brush, it fucks me over, and splash walls are too good there
>>181108076
But are they jugs or are they bottles? Or are they, like, bottles with jug handles? Or jugs with lids?
>>181108301
imagine like a third of a horse cock with a spigot
>>181107265
Not a proper one that lets me take a screenshot anytime. I had to go through this whole process of going to my equips, then press the press the home button, internet browser...
My Switch can't come soon enough
>>181096742
You don't choose the weapon the first time you go through a stage, but you can after the first time completion of said stage.
But at that point, why not just complete if with every other weapon too
>>181110642

>"Get cooked, Octoslob!"
I hope Marie's dialogue is the same in both US and EU English localisations. I don't want another DJ Octavio scenario.
>>181107251
How am I pressuring? I'm just asking cuz I like their style sand wanted to see more.
>>181112136
>cool breeze
>chill tunes
>everything going smoothly in TW
Pretty comfy night.
I just played with a Custom Hydra that literally ran away from the tower. Fuck that guy.
>>181091104
good
>>181093854
wish i could do physical, but i'm in japan and want to play in english so i'm gonna have to go digital
>>181094359
>having irl friends into splatoon
sounds nice…
>>181103571
or only play squads
If there were a splatoon spin off game, what would you imagine it being like?
Fashion would have to play a part, I think.
>>181124245
The spinoff would be people forming squads with randos and having fun. But that's just a pipedream.
>only two new posts in 3 hours
wew, sure can't wait for spla2n
>>181124245
I think if Splatoon does get a spinoff, it should explore the parts we don't see instead of focusing what we do. Particularly remains of our civilisation.
>>181130717
https://boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/174024779/#174707967
Found it
>>181124245
They could make that 2D Action-Platformer we saw in one of the first arcade screenshots of Splatoon 1
>>181130717
I'd prefer an open-world esque thing like mgs v, in a spin-off we'd be an inkling trapped in octo valley stuck behind enemy lines. Splatoon spin off with tactical squid espionage.
>>181131395
I'm not sure tacticool squid espionage would work, seeing as getting around in any reasonable manner leaves brightly colored trails for your enemies to follow. It works against the slower, more robotic enemies, like Flooders, but it wouldn't make any sense once Octolings get involved.
>>181131641
Tactical Ink that disappears after a short time.
>>181124245
I wouldnt mind something akin to Grand Splat Woomy or Squids Row variety. Not so much after crazy shit (but still crazy inking everywhere), more about geting to know the world better. Im sure geting too see more open world Inkopolis would be nice.
>>181130717
>>181131265
A metroid-vania esque focused on clearing out an octarian base where an experiment went wrong, ink climbing skills, and weapons for different playstyles/scenarios.
That would be an excellent spinoff with a touch of lore.
>>181131169
I like this.
What was today's splat jap tweet about?
How about this? Split-screen multiplayer with one set of joycons will sell a lot of new people on the game.
>>181137645
>aiming through gyro
I suppose it is the only way for it to work but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be.
>>181138108
I only added that in case it's reposted somewhere where people don't know about Splatoon's controls.
Callie is the cutest

You're welcome.

>respawn chains on the tower are gradually going to accelerate into torrents of squids dying and instantly slamming back down
>>181155892
if they kill someone the respawn time resets
>>181156025
Guess you can cheese it by just riding the tower and not firing. You'll keep respawning faster and faster. Wonder what the upper limit is on the new quick respawn?
>>181157030
someone would just jump to the tower and if they refuse to shoot the tower will stay there, they need to kill in order for the tower to move
>>181157148
Probably would only work in a squad but could have dedicated QR tower rider and the others act as enforcers
this thing is fucking scary
>>181160918
Maws eating a squid mid-air was the hypest shit from Treehouse
Also that scream when they lost their final attempt right in the middle of a Salmon Rush and only a few seconds to the match's end. God bless Salmon Run
>tfw people STILL don't have a switch
I'm going to post this every thread now until splatoon hits.
>>181164364
do you have one anon?
>>181161941
from what i saw from the japanese summer event, you can throw a bomb before the thing jumps and he will eat the bomb instead, won't 1 shot him but its a enough damage to finishing off
>>181164646
Of course.
What did today's splatoonjp tweet say!?!
>>181168490
this one? i guess its about the new squid death animation looks brighter

>>181171483
Eh, it was already known Nintendo favours Callie. I thought the devs had said something about that during the final splatfest. Marie will always be the pure one though.I'd love an Octo-Callie plush however
>>181140145
>nowhere has them nearby
I've been looking, fuck
>>181174073
>Marie
>Pure
kek, we already know she has been violated repeatedly by long cylinders of meatI want an Octo-Callie plush too
>>181174557
At least she's not getting all of Octavio's tentacles shoved through each one of her orifices.Kimono Marie would also make a cute plush.
>>181174557
>long cylinders of meat
>>181174702
Octavio is obviously a bottom that likes to get pegged
not a jumpscare
Nintendo producers have shit taste
>>181179918
Lol butthurt mariefag
Just a kinda bad drawing of a woomer, I haven't sorted out my tablet after updating to windows 10 so it's pixel-y.
The face isn't my best but ah well.
>>181180954
Not bad though the image looks pretty thin if that makes sense. It's a damn shame that there isn't really any raingear
>>181179918
I want to live on the timeline where ARMs and Splatoon 2 release dates wereswitchedLaugh! I came up with that on the spot.
>>181181314
By thin do you mean flat, as in it doesn't appear to have any dimension? Because I agree. Maybe it's the linework.
>>181183110
Yeah that's what I was getting at
Australians (I know some of you are out there), ebgames is offering a slosher and squid keychain for all Splatoon 2 preorders. This may or may not be worth paying ebgames ridiculous retail prices and fumbling with cartridges.
If I'm planning on getting sploon 2 on day one, should I get it digitally or physically?
>>181186717
>fumbling with cartridges
I might as well glue the Spla2n cartridge in the switch anyways.
>>181187116
Physical is cheaper if use buy it with amazon prime (free trial works too)
>>181187139
Going digital for midnight access and because if I'm being honest my Switch is going to be mostly a glorified squid tablet anyways so if I had a physical copy it'll be in there so long it'll fuse with the contacts.
>>181180954
If it is bad then why do you post it?
Where is the good drawfag with the squids?
>>181170779
>>181170876
Aww, Miyamoto. Bless him.

>>181168490
>>181168692
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/880350499672805377
It explains that player names are now crossed out when they're splatted, and how it can help you differentiate between defeated and active players in the field. It's something we've seen since the testfire and isn't even worth tweeting about, honestly.
>>181170779
Its ok Shiggy. We all make stupid decisions every now and then.
>>181183110
>>181181314
Yeah, that's definitely the problem with it, it comes about from the way I've drawn it I think, not having a properly working tablet or it's drivers means instead of making broad rapid smooth and spontaneous lines they are all very calculated and slow and that makes it look more flat? The last drawing I did was a lot less flat and that's because I sketched it out more beforehand, so I'll try again with that method.
>>181189042
Because I spent an hour on it and I want to share it somewhere and don't have any social media.
>>181191225
Then maybe don't go fishing for compliments like women do the "I'm so fat".
Spend that time actually practicing drawing

Not him but if even the artist thinks it's bad they really shouldn't be posting it.
>>181160918
more scared of the grills. There is something very unsettling about them
>>181195773
Someone tell her to get on a diet so her feet aren't fat and full of rolls for us
>>181197097
>>181197268
Just as this anon said, if they think it is bad then why post a shitty drawing in the first place? To get people say "Don't worry, it isn't bad"
>>181199684
alright i guess that's fair enough
i guess...
>>181199684
Tell her to get on a diet so she isn't a complete bitch.
time to turn my filters back on
>>181197316
actually you are right anon, those fucking things one shot people and on the demo 3 appeared at the same time
i wonder what other stuff are they hidding, we saw a salmon frenzy that takes place at night and the grills on higher levels (i think it was around 100%) i wonder how hard 200% is going to be.
>>181200430
this, fucking fatass bitch
Soon
>>181140207
the struggle is real brother
I called my local walmarts in a fifty mile radius until I found two switches at 5am in the morning
I was pissing and the guy on the phone said yeah they had them but I'd better hurry because he figured he was gonna get one himself
sure enough when I got there only one remained
>>181202843
if you count 3 weeks as "soon" then yes
Thought this looked pretty neat while I was working on the yellow text.Good night for now.
>>181205204
Cool drawing, Good night squib!
>>181200430
Not even a diet could destroy the fat and cuntness on her
i hope spla2n gets more support over the years than splatoon did

Don't we all, though?
>tfw when splatoon comes out my vacation time ends

>>181253538
You really could have had better descriptions for them. I would've rather you waited for me to make it myself, but oh well.
Anyway, I chose the new, parted bangs ponytail, which I assume is "male to one side hair"

It's not that big of a deal, man. I hate this shit general as much/more than you, I'm sure. The guy complaining about not being able go select more than one haristyle was dumb, I agree. But don't conplain about people not liking your descriptions when you took it upon yourself to make the poll when I was gone for a while. If people can understand what you meant, that's all I care about. I'm just glad to get some posts that aren't fanart/lewd/begging for drawfags.

>i want to discuss videogame
Maybe reddit is more up your valley?
>>181256029
you shouldnt expect a general as dead as this one to talk about the game, especially when it's daily and there isn't really any new information about the sequel right now. we cant discuss the same things over and over, and there is not much to say about the clothing brands. do you really want us to have an in depth conversation about how firefin has changed its style of clothing in the new game? is that what you want?
what a great way to start the morning...
>>181256265
I said, discuss, not circlejerk, neet.
>>181256481
That'd be better than what we have now. And there is plenty of shit to discuss, if you actually think about the game as something other than an outlet for loli fanart. For example, you could talk try to figure out the most powerful weapon loadout they've announced. Or craft fantasy OP loadouts for the new subs and specials. Or talk about the map variety we have seen so far in comparison to what the starting maps were in the first game. Etc., etc. There's plenty to talk about. Don't use that as an excuse for the shitty state of this general
>>181255939

This isn't a card game, you are either good with the gun or not. If you aren't you just need to practice more.
The best squad combo has always been 1 charger, 1 shooter, 1blaster/roller, 1 shooter/blaster/roller (used to be weapon with invincibility but thats gone now).

>>181258889

What makes splatling not viable? It's just like a shooter with a wind up.
>>181259260
No shit, that doesn't mean that the kits don't make weapons better or worse. You said yourself that invincibility was a key to picking one of the weapons in a team comp. there is no invincibility, so there is room for discussion and debate that could be fun
>>181259536

Do you think there will be maintaince in the first week of splatton2 because of server overload? I thought splatoon1 was peer to peer, but now I'm not so sure.

Maybe they'll have something similar but I don't think gaijins such as ourselves could get that whether they have it or not.

Is the inkbrush=sword comparison legitimate?
>>181280418
>game does not even come pre-installed
Holy fucking shit midnight releasefags just got cucked hard
>>181282378
Almost. If the brush itself actually did damage, instead of just the ink blobs it shoots out, it could be, but as it stands, it's not quite there.
>>181283884
i thought it did
there was even a trick to splatting people in 3 swings instead of 5 by hitting them with the ink blobs in tandem with the brush
>>181280418
Imo not even worth it in EU if this is best they can offer. Proly gonna get grey Switch and retail game instead,
>>181284034
No, the trick was to hit them with all three ink blots per swing, rather than the significantly more common two of three.
Since the spread is so wide, and the blobs appear at different positions along the brushstroke, you really have to be exactly facing your opponent and at an exact distance away from them to hit with all the blobs from any given swing, and even then, it's inconsistent.
>>181280770

>>181286180
Why don't you wait until Splatoon 2 comes out before posting something stupid like that? I've seen a couple of anons here say they're deliberately not playing Splatoon 1 for a number of reasons.
>>181286871
This, people are simply too hyped to focus.
>>181286180
We can always post squids though.
so what's the consensus about damage up being dropped for sploon 2?
i personally dont mind it as it frees up a good amount of ability slots, but the fact that defense up got dropped with it isnt sitting well with me
>>181288012
The fact that both are gone is good to me. It would be annoying if they kept Defense Up and dropped Damage Up since people could up the STK on weapons like the Splattershots or Gals with no way for them to counteract that. Also chargers would have a bad time as well if they need to tap fire up close. Both being gone is good and keeping one and dropping the other no matter which would of been a seriously bad call.
>>181288012
On balance, I like it. DMG+ and DEF+ were obvious stat boosts to have, but they didn't really do much interesting to change up actual strategies.
>>181286180
instead of complaining and adding nothing to the thread, why not ask if anyone is up for squadding?

>>181302405
I never get any pings.
>>181288012
I love it. It's always been way more fun to rock any ability that isn't damage or defense, but it's just too hard to pass up if you're using something like a rapid blaster.
Actually, now that I think about it, what's gonna happen to the rapid blasters, my favorite weapons group, now that damage up is gone? Will they buff them at all? I could probably still manage, but damn it's gonna be even harder to not just use the already superior range blaster. Rapid blaster are just so fun ;_;

i say she should have her right arm resting on her hip in a fist while her left arm is holding her goggles from the side like some kinda librarian
>>181311079
but that would hide her charming hips!
I never played the first one, am I going to get rekt hard in 2?
>>181318351
Not really. The best thing is you'll be at the bottom so you'll have nothing to lose. It feels far worse when the community skills up faster than you and you get overtaken and/or drop in rank
I'm going to get rekt because I'll adopt the Switch after everyone has sharpened their skills in Splatoon 2
Is Cold Blooded stackable now because I saw it on a hat meaning it's not shirt exclusive
>>181319441
I doubt it. There're only two position-trackers in spla2n, the point sensors and the tentamissiles. Since the tentamissiles last until all the rockets have landed, it wouldn't make sense to reduce the tracking time there, and if it only affects the point sensors, it'll have to be pretty strong to start with for anyone to even consider using it.
So my guess is it's something like ninja squid in splatoon 1, where instead of modifying stats directly, it just adds an attribute that may effect stats.
>>181321223
Ink mines, too.
>>181321223
but then the question is how weak is a main of ink resistance compared to Splatoon and how OP is it before diminishing returns kicks in

Yeah--I feel the same way. I'm hoping it will pick up once the game is out too.
>>181326035
probably because all the same jokes and gags apply so they don't feel the need to draw them just with characters with different hair and pants.
I look forward to the meta jokes like the pure damage build ones we got in SplatoonWish I had a Switch

>>181140145
>mfw switch just came in.
How do IN play Arms though?
>>181326786
i mean if damage up decreased the amount of hits to splat --just like defense up increases it-- instead of just increasing the damage to a certain limit, then i'd be fine with both getting dropped
but defense up was the only ability between the two that actually had a significant and helpful effect on every loadout, unlike damage up which is only good for snipers
>>181327752
I'm fully expecting one next week.

Speaking of the tournament I feel like Splashdown not using up its charge until it lands is a bit much. Maybe a steady drain from activation to landing would be better

>only good for snipers
Lets-a see.
99.9: vast majority of weapons, most notably Splattershot Pro, H3, L3, Rapid, Rapid Pro and Bamboozler
Def up counter: Splattershot and Gals are affected.
Damage falloff: most shooters, especially ones with little spare damage- Splattershot and both Gals- and guns with long falloff due to nozzle velocity- Pro, Hydra and Splash.
Burst cancel: most weapons with burst bombs, most notably Carbon, Grim, L3D, Custom Jet and Bamboozler Mk3.
Burst Bomb Rush- unusable without damage up. Splattershot and Remi.
Grenade rushes- reaching 33.3 blast damage really enhances both splat and sucker rushes
Damage inconsistency: Rapid and Rapid Pro indirects go from 5-3 to 3-2 hits to splat. This is massive. Brushes get more consistent 4- and 2-hit splats respectively with damage.
Blaster finishers: big blasters running damage up can do fairly consistent 70+ damage over wide area, murderizing everything that got even a bit damaged.

Not going to shit on somebody for liking SZ but it just can't compare to RM. The elation of victory and agony of defeat are so much more intense with RM.

>>181395552

>>181327752
I think we'll get something similar to the Splatoon overview direct from 2015. It'll reintroduce the core gameplay for new players, elaborate on new features for veteran players, and unveil new characters and their roles in Inkopolis Square.
That said, let's all enjoy this blast from the past. The Callie and Marie reveal is so awkward.

>>181395552
He is a big squid
So it's been suggested that the old ink resistance icon will only be running on enemy ink resistance and the icon we've seen in this pic is swimming in enemy ink resistance
>>181405767
https://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/161735532314/this-gear-ability-is-ink-resistance-up-it-reduces
Nope. It's literally the same ability as before, only it's now stackable and has a tweaked icon that matches the sequel's ink palette. The devs would never allow swimming in enemy ink, it would simply destroy the game.
>>181407160
So what can that ability be? It seems to me it's a squid ability not a kid ability. Not movement or stealth based because those are already covered so what could it be
>>181140145

>>181409907
Sorry, I misunderstood your post. I thought you meant the new ink resist icon is for swimming in enemy ink. Yeah, I'm very curious about what the new ability on right could be. I still don't think it's for swimming in enemy ink though. Maybe it speeds up your damage recovery when you're submerged in ink? I guess we have three weeks left to find out.
>>181414779
I hope they keep the Splatoon 1 headphones too.
As far as we know is this the list of abilities confirmed not returning
>>181415532
>Bomb Range

>Special Duration, Recon, Bomb Sniffer
Who said that?
>yet didn't cross out Stealth Jump
>>181419160
Duration = Special Power Up
Recon = most of the things it used to tell you are now part of the UI
Bomb sniffer's changes = Bomb defence up
Forgot stealth jump
>>181419418
Hmm, good points, except for Recon. The only big change that affects it is squids on top that now have weapons (which was a thing before, though- each corresponded to a particular squid, it just didn't show their gun), otherwise it's even more powerful than before- no Echo and more easily availible map.
>>181409907
Ink defense up. Calling it. That ability will be the new defense up and it’s gonna be everywhere
>>181419814
Recon only works when standing on your spawn so I'm not sure it's really that useful
>>181420229
If there was ink defence up then why have bomb defence up
>>181420648
To separate defense up into less powerful abilities
>>181420975
seems like too much crossover more like. Ink resistance, ink defence up and sub defence up are stepping on each others toes
>>181420503
It is. I play Neo Sloshmo with Recon, sensors plus recon equals better echo.

So are we getting playable Octolings or not? Are they going to be a post-game unlock?
OCTOLINGS ARE FOR BULLYING
BULLYING!
>>181442342
Unlikely, I expect single player to unlock Hero and Octoling outfit, Hero shot, Sheldon's weapons (probably after beating the whole game with the weapons of your choice) and maybe the Octoskins as well
>>181443365
Tbh, introducing Octolings as a main quest unlock and then actually making a campaign with them as the main characters in 3 would be a good way to introduce them to the game. Like have post-game have noticable changes like an Octoling vendor, Octolings walking around Inkopolis, etc.
I'm a bit confused by the Octoling's popularity. Are there actually people who want to play as them? They exist only to be antagonists.
>>181445120
I don't want to play as them but i want to see Octavio's humanoid form
>>181445120
Hypothetically, if they were to add Squids vs Octos war mode, we would need playable Octolings first.
>>181446042
we have a war mode already with salmon run, we dont need another one
>>181446581

>>181443760
I thought that if Callie is brainwashed, that opens up the posibility for them to just say "oh the octarians were all brainwashed too, Octavio's the only actuall evil one." and make them playable that way.

Which control scheme are you going to play splatoon with?
A) Dock with joycon grip (doggy controller)
B) Dock with joycon strap separately
C) Dock with PRO controller
D) Tabletop mode with joycon grip
E) Tabletop mode with joycon strap
F) Tabletop mode with PRO controller
G) Handheld mode
Personally I'm thinking of playing it with B, dock with joycon separately.
>>181508083
Definitely docked with pro controller. I find the joycons decent enough generally, but the pro controller is easily better. And docked gives me a clearer view of everything, so that's an obvious choice as well.
>>181508083
I'll switch between Dock Pro and Dock Joycon Strap seperately.
Pro is comfier but joycon strap gives more control of movement
>>181508083
Docked Pro Controller is the only way.
>>181508083
I do not know how its ganna work so I dunno. like in Zelda only one joycon is used for aiming and looking around.
but if its anything like splatoon 1, doggy controller because of muscle memory and stuff
>>181508427
Doggy sucks as it is like Zelda and only the right controller is for aim. Using the doggy and having your aim only on the right side is weird. Your better doing freehand joycons.
>>181508083
I'll be going C. I can't see myself playing Splatoon in any other mode. But then again, I thought the same thing with BotW. I've probably played that game docked and handheld 50/50.
>>181508083
>Dock with joycon grip (doggy controller)
This. I don't have much option since I don't have Pro controller.
Probably Handheld as well from time to time.
>>181508562
Someone already said this last thread, but I guess it needs restating:
Zelda and Spla2n are both only using the gyroscopes for aiming, not the accelerometers. The Joycons will both experience the exact same rotation, and thus send the exact same data, as long as they are rigidly connected to each other, since the gyroscopes only track change in rotation, not change in position. The whole "the center of rotation is off to one side" argument is completely invalid, since in order to rotate one side, you'd have to also rotate the other one at the same rate.
For example, rotating your Grip around the left Joycon 15 degrees clockwise produces the exact same input as rotating your Grip around the right Joycon 15 degrees clockwise.
As for the freehand Joycons, in the Testfire, it used the gyroscope data for whichever Joycon was moving the most, not specifically the right one, so it wasn't locked to one joycon or the other. The only issue this posed was that moving your non-aiming hand to scratch an itch or whatnot would make that hand the aiming hand, which caused more than a few deaths, at least for me.
>>181509935
Thanks for the nice clear explanation. I won't likely be using the joycons myself, but it's nice to know exactly how aiming works with motion controls.
>>181509935
Interesting. So it'd possible to rig up an in-line charger grip and pretend your in a real sniper's nest.

>>181520062
What's the point of making a custom grip with the dimension of the wii u gamepad? It's not going to give you more accuracy or something.
>>181524952
I would assume a combination of comfort and familiarity. I play Splatoon so much that normal controllers feel lightweight and small. Honestly I'm not so sure about using a pro controller for Splatoon 2 myself and might make my own custom grip.
>>181522382
It's time...
REEEE fucking octarians
>>181526115
>>181524952
Small, lightweight controller feels wonky compared to gloriously weighted gamepad, and you have to sit more grouped together which limits your movement.

Docked with Pro Controller, it's the optimised way.
>>181508083

I reckon they'll announce more returning weapons and shoe a new stage and a remixed stage. I'd like to see some vendors
>>181522382

>>181508083
D
ideally i'd like to play with it docked, but the only tv in my house (other than a CRT) is connected to a bunch of other stuff and i hate dealing with the cables
>>181508083
A.) I guess. No money for a pro controller.
>>181508083
Optimally D but I'll have to make do with F when I go back to campus.
>>181508083
C and G are the only correct answers
>>181508083
I'm going to try (C) because I'm going for the special edition pro controller.
>>181536909
Whoops meant C not D.
>>181508083
Now I'm a huge handheldfag. Love my handhelds, love playing things on the go, but fuck me playing the Splatoon 2 testfire in handheld and tabletop mode was so uncomfortable. Too much happening on such a small screen. Playing docked with the joycon grip was the comfiest way to go. Gonna try and make a shoddily made wide grip once I have enough spare money to buy a charging grip and rip it apart, since I have a feeling that'll be maximum amounts of comfy.
I want to talk about the weapon kit situation in Spla2n. There are a ton of big-name Splat1 players who got to play at events and talk to right people, and most of them seem to imply that Spla2n will have one kit per weapon, phrasing stuff like "If L3 gets new poison it'd be great, BUT if it gets burst bomb it'd be nice too", and "Dualies were top tier when they had a suction bomb, new kit is a bit redundant, so I'm not sure if it'll be a frequent sight in comp". Are twins and picks gone?
>>181523504
Probably gona detail neo splatfests and that new league thing they mentioned, plus maybe some suprises.
>>181544690
I haven't played the first game so I can't properly answer your question, but I went to two separate events to try out the switch, one before it came out and another after, and in those two every weapon's sub was switched (before the dualies had the curling bomb, after they had suction). Not sure why they changed them though
>>181544690
Those don't sound like they imply such things to me.
>>181545954
Well, first one clearly sounded like that, and those are not the only examples. I mean, current L3 has both disro and burst bomb over two kits, so I'd at least drop the "but" because those aren't mutually exclusive. The last time I've heard anyone talk about alternate kits was one of FLC's streams, and he did not attend any events so he's clueless on that matter.
>>181544690
I highly doubt the splatoon workers and nintendo would spill out all of the weapon kits before the game is released. And i highly doubt the big name splatoon players know everything. Remember that in splatoon,the weapon kits were gradually revealed
>>181508083
I would love to go G all the way while laying down on my bed, but it seems that gyro aiming might be a problem in that mode, so I'll have to stick with docked + joycon grip or pro controller
Tabletop mode seems the worst choice possible to play Splatoon, unless you have a really good vision, which is not the case for me.
So either A, C or G, mostly A I believe. Is separate joycons an actual option?
>UPS guy finally drops off my Switch
Now time to stress out putting on the tempered glass screen protector on it. I suck at putting stuff like that on devices.
I know most artists upload images to Twitter, but in case you find art on Tumblr: switching the 500 to 1280 in a URL is no longer the way to get the highest resolution. Remove the 68. (or other number before the media.tumblr) part of the URL and change the 400/500/1280 to raw. Let's use Marie from sameanko's blog as an example.
https://68.media.tumblr.com/bbc2cee2a95bc43c3054fa91e9656386/tumblr_os7sytpVt91wrp9lbo1_1280.jpg
https://media.tumblr.com/bbc2cee2a95bc43c3054fa91e9656386/tumblr_os7sytpVt91wrp9lbo1_raw.jpg
Pretty big difference, right? Dunno if there are any other art resolution autists in here, but I thought it'd be good to share this anyway.
>>181547779
They were revealled gradually after the release, but base game came with two of every weapon except for E3K, Dual Squelcher and .96 Gal which were singles. The way they talk makes me think that at very least there will be no twins on launch. Maybe ever, which would be understandable because balancing was difficult as fuck. I mean, have you ever seen vanilla Mini Splatling?
>>181548646
Just put it on asap. The tablet is a dust magnet.
>>181544690
I have a feeling if that would be the case it'd mean strange limitation of freedom in choice of play style. Although even if true, I'm sure we would eventually get more in form of Scheldon's pick and alike.
>>181548646

- A tour of Inkopolis Square, including new shop functionality and character roles. I want to know if Annie customising weapons is real, and what Crusty Sean is doing with that food truck.
- Squid Sister successors/new announcers for Inkopolis news. Nothing will be able to replace Callie and Marie, but I hope it's a new cute idol duo.
- Info about new Splatfests, and clarification about how Salmon Run events will work.
- One more testfire announcement, either this coming weekend or weekend after.
>>181574224
My hopes are another test fire and local multiplayer with one console being at least hinted.
>>181574224
I hope to fuck you can change main stat items. One thing I loved about the first game was an N-zap weapon using the Power Armor on a male inkling, felt fucking right. but always at a disadvantage in combat and savescummed best possible secondaries

Looks like Europe will be getting green and pink joycons a lot sooner than expected (July 28th).fuck you nintendo, just release them worldwide already
>>181574520
>QR, Defense Up, and ISM
None of these are bad at all.
>>181570579
Except for Nintendo UK
>>181574224
I really hope we don't get new idols. I like Callie and Marie too much.
>>181579128
i hope we can skip the news
>>181575685
The Direct is the last hope.I hope that the release being pushed forward by a matter of months means that the supply issues are finally being remedied.
>>181579735
Well, Agent 4 canonically doesn't watch TV and thus news, and they're us...
I wonder what the new commercial for Splatoon 2 is going to be like.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke05YELaAgA
>>181580298
Been forever since the last time I saw that.
>>181580298
>american advertisments
Typical.
>>181574224
No way they would replace Callie and Marie, they're too popular. (and marketable) They're supposed to be on days off right now so I'm guessing a generic newswoomy will fill in until you beat single player.
>>181581372
well time to never complete the SP
>>181582614
The fuck is wrong with you
I just played with THE zero! THE ZERO!
>>181571049
Hey it's shill squid
>>181582896
i never liked the squid sisters, i rather have something new instead of the same thing
>>181583008
go splat yourself
>>181580298
The new commercial sucks ass.
https://youtu.be/dN8Xz-1wikc
>>181583351
That's just the Splatoon 2 part of their generic Summer Switch commercial. We could still see another.
>>181583351
I like the consistent marketing image Nintendo is doing for the Switch, but that song really doesn't fit for this particular ad. But whatever, as long as it clicks with normies.
>>181583351
>we will never have an /ink/ party like this
>>181583876
It'd be one round of Splatoon 2, then an entire night of a big gay orgy.
>>181584113
>only one round
Fuck that. I can walk and chew gum at the same time so getting splats both in game and irl at the same time.
>>181584113
I'd like that quite a bit
>>181580298
>Not the full version that explains the entire game

Meme lobby-ing again with /ink/!
>>181590104
wait what? i haven't seen someone post about making a private lobby
I absofuckinglutely cannot wait for the 4chan reaction in general for a specific announcement in Thursday's direct. It will be pure gold.
>>181593920
same
>>181593920
>guys I know things!
No you don't. Fuck off.
>>181594096
Whatever helps you feel better, anon
>>181593920
i don't even know what the hell are you talking about
>get urge to play splatoon
>have not played since splatfest
>set up wii u again
>fuck yeah good to go
>pick up pad
>get ready
>thumbs are struck with a cold slimy feet
>check
>thumbs are fucking yellow and orange
>sticks are sticky
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
I GAVE THIS FUCK AN ALCOHOL SPONGEBATH EVERY FUCKING WEEK WITH THOSE EYEGLASS CLEANER THINGS WHAT IS THIS GOD FUCK MY PAD STICKS ARE SWEATING
Anyone else resisting the urge to play Splatoon so that the new game feels extra fresh?
>>181595169
That's a good idea.
>>181595427
I want min min to sit on my face and eat a ramen bowl
>>181595169
Yep, I haven't played for months. I'll play a few matches on the night before Splatoon 2 releases though, and send it off ceremoniously on Miiverse. Maybe I'll play again just before Nintendo shuts down the servers in a few years to say farewell, but that'll depend if there are even enough players.
>>181593148
>he isn't in the discord
>>181593148
I suppose it must be discord
>>181597505
>>181596831
Then it's not "with /ink/", it's "with discord", and there's absolutely nil reason to announce it here.
Anyone got inklings just doodling or writing
I need some cute squids doing stuff like that
>>181598123
I have this picture of my woomy i took a couple of weeks ago or so. She has octo boots on.
>>181598123
you want images of inklings that are doodling or writing? or inklings to doodle?
,nostalgia.
>>181598961
Fuck dog team. Cats were so close to winning.at least it wasn't a horrible experience like the first japanese splatfest
>>181598123
My squid is not exactly cute, but when in care of some good hands it might even blush
>>181598812
Perfect
>>181598123
Just hang a little longer, we have a couple of days left for Splatoon release.
I need more Memeverse stuff. Post Miiverse
>>181594310
That's a good-lookin' Marina.
I wonder what Callie would think of this...
>>181607283
make more sense pls.
I need Callie in my life again
>failed to get a job in time
>gonna have to leave /ink/ when the game comes out to avoid spoilers
JUST
>>181593920
>>181594310
I hope you're not saying Inklings are Scottish
>>181593920
As far as thinly-veiled bumps go, yours is probably the worst yet. Where all the "good night /ink/"s and "sex with ___"s are at least somewhat attached to the kinds of discussions and opinions shared here, yours is just a quick and easy way to make people mad at nothing. The only thing you really said was "there is a spla2n direct on thursday", which we already know and have already talked about. At least the other nonsense bumps show some opinion, and have some potential for entertaining conversation. Yours is just restating a well-known fact in one of the most asshole-ish ways possible.
Consensual intercourse in the missionary position with intermittent handholding with Callie!

the /ink/ discord is dead, i didn't saw people asking for a private game

Just thinking about it got me hot and bothered.

Am I fitting in yet guys??

>hey, let's try using reddit
>let's go to r/splatoon
>nothing but stale webms and pretentious comments
And squidboards isn't much better if I recall correctly. /ink/ is the only splatoon community I can take seriously.
>>181636215
Well, you don't seem to be doing a bad retarded act. You're a natural.
>>181640494
You shouldn't be talking down to yourself like that.
>>181641318
You shouldn't be projecting your insecurities and retardness onto others, anon
>>181638065
Too bad all the good players fucked off from here.
>>181638065
the only good thing about /ink/ was you used to be able to get players at any time of the day for any rotation but those days are long gone
>>181643903
Just wait three more weeks
