Aside from trislosher and and the over nerfing of rollers, I think the game is pretty well balanced. The weapons at S+ have been pretty varied. Though I do very much look forward to a trislosher nerf

>>386511664
How should the trislosher be nerfed? Less range? Lower damage on the side sloshes?

>>386511495
I think the game having no Invincible specials makes it way better

Ambushing someone only to activate their bubbler was fucking annoying in Splatoon 1

Fellow roller user myself, and yeah, they could use a buff.

the absence of them in most games is a pure bliss

>>386512072
I don't think they're that bad

Make vertical flicks 2 hit kills at range, because the aim and speed you gotta operate at, and I think it'll be good

>>386511821
Just less range. Give it dualie level range, and I'd be happy

>>386512091
Instead, now the skilless faggots have new crutch weapons in the form of the crutchbrush and the crutchbucket.

I dunno if it's my 1500 hours in Splatoon 1, but I've ranked up in Splatoon 2 fast. I'm S in everything and sometimes the fights don't seem hard.

It's way better than S1 in that there's no expressedly broken+mandatory abilities like Attack Up and Ink Res but the chunk system is really frustrating to deal with.
Nerf the fucking Octobrush, it shouldn't have that wide a range and that fast of an attack speed without more damage falloff.

Any set this has this piece of shit is JUST tier, I don't know what they were thinking with this. They should just make it like Sombra's teleported, where if you place it down you are able to return to it once, and it can be destroyed.

For an S+, you sure are retarded. you can outrange the octobrush with your dualies, you shouldn't complain. A weapon with that little range doesn't need a nerf. The trislosher is the weapon that needs a nerf.

>>386512638
Actual games.

I really want to like Splatoon 2 but I just can't seem to get the hang of motion controls or find a weapon I like
Maybe I'm doomed to being bad at it forever

>>386512440
S+ player here, the Octobrush is a no skill crutch because it has a MASSIVE AoE and does a ton of damage to the point where any shooter is lucky to trade with it in a 1v1. It and the Tri Slosher are the best close range weapons in the game.
Tri Slosher is currently busted because it has the same range as the Splattershot, but with wider spread and a good rate of fire as well as having no damage falloff or an aiming requirement.

These weapons are too strong in their current state and bad players are using them to shoot up in rank.

First time in years I've really been this invested in a multiplayer game on a console. The motion controls are great because I hate console shooters.
I've only really bothered with Splat Zones, but I did go from C- to B- to A- by jumping all ranks winning every game while carrying them hard. Currently winning my A bracket and it's way more fun in A bracket. I'll be S in no time. Fuck the Tri.

Stick with the motion controls for 2 weeks, and play turf wars

Who cares if you suck it up in turf wars, that mode is filled with baddies

I like the Art Academy best, and Pump Track the least. Even then, the Track is at least interestingly designed.

If they bring back Walleye Warehouse this game will be perfect.

>>386512786
I have a hard time believing an S+ player would be this stupid, but I'll engage anyway. I'm triple S+, and you're retarded if you let a brush get close to you. With a slosher, it can hit you from behind obstacles, so that's fair. An octobrush can't. You have to be mentally handicapped to let it get close to you. It should never win in a 1 on 1. I know that about the trislosher. The octobrush has no such benefits. It has less range than dualies, and can't hit over obstacles/around walls. It's wide hitbox is the only redeeming factor for it being so low range, as it can sometimes hit multiple people if they are stupid enough to be grouped up (something that should never happen at high ranks)

Just because I outrange them doesn't mean they aren't a fucking pain to play against. It's no fun seeing an Octobrush above you, swinging like a retard and getting kills because for some reason, even at max range, the Octobrush only takes 4 hits to kill. It's a pain on Tower and on Zones because it controls a wide range of area and has a huge damage output, but unlike the other weapons, requires no aiming on the users part. Just mash ZR when something is in your general line of sight and you'll get a kill, plus the Autobomb is one of the best subs in the game, and the Inkjet can totally circumvent it's lack of range considering how fast it can fire a 1 hit killing shot so shortly after being activated.

Octobrush is a crutch for bad players who cannot aim and needs a nerf.

If you like the Splatling, then use the Splatling my man. It can control a huge area and give hell to everything that isn't a charger. The only issue with the Splatling is that it has horrible sub/special. You should keep working on your Splatling game until the Splatling Deco comes out. It has the Splash Wall which will be a godsend because it'll allow you to be much more aggressive.
For abilities, use Ink Recovery Up and Run Speed up.

Octobrush isn't that bad, except in Tower Control, Holy shit, do I hate Octobrushes on the tower, but then again, Blasters, Tri Sloshers and Brushes are a fucking pain on the tower.

>>386513317
having being a shitter in Splatoon 1 and playing exclusively with analog then switching to Splatoon 2, the first weapons you will do decent with is close range weapons.

So Splat duelies, octobrush. When you start to get comfortable, start using guns with a bit more range and then you'll start to feel better at the game.

>>386513590
Sensible chuckle/10

>>386513170
So you have bad enough positioning to get caught it the range of one of the shortest ranged weapons in the game and you complain? Maybe you should go back to Splat1 where invincibility specials and echolocators will bail you out when you are too shitty to have any map awareness. Not to mention that a 4 hit is still outranged by dualies and is enough to be reacted to and escape from

I wish they'd give the brush a minor damage buff. Just let it kill in 4 hits instead of 5, I don't care if you have to increase the ink consumption in exchange Nintendo, just stop making me worry that my trigger is gonna break!

No, my dude. Saying something isn't fun to play against doesn't mean it fucks me in the ass, it means it's not fun to deal with. Backpedaling against an Octobrush is all it takes it kill them, it's very easy to do, but that doesn't mean the Octobrush isn't busted in it's current state. They are ANNOYING. When I get sniped by an E Liter, it's fine. The E Liter earned the kill because they figured out how to aim and connect their shots. Getting killed by
an Octobrush just means some idiot got to a higher point (see: tower, or the ledges on Moray) and is swinging like an idiot. Getting to a high point and spamming your brush swing does not count as 'positioning', and it does not make you good.
I don't see how you can say that the Tri Slosher is busted, but the Octobrush, which has almost the same range and is played almost identically, is fair and balanced.

>Tri Slosher is busted, but the Octobrush, which has almost the same range and is played almost identically
The octobrush can't hit over ledges/through the tower's pillar and has less range than dualies, while the trislosher has equal range to the splattershot. And your niche scenario where you are shitty enough to not escape an inconsistently hitting 4 shot from above means nothing.If you have any idea of where you are on the map, you should be looking out for that, and a lot of weapons with range would be able to kill you faster and more consistently in that scenario. It's very avoidable when the brush stays up there. And that's a scenario that almost any weapon can be substituted into. However a brush can be outranged in almost any 1 on 1 scenario, where as other weapons have some chance in coming out of those. Seriously, you're just bad at the game to bother complaining about it. It's like complaining about a shotgun in another shooter or a grappler in a fighting game. Don't be a fucking idiot and you should have no problems

Why does it have to take so long to try and put together the outfit I want with the abilities I want? I understand the dangers of making it too easy and failing to keep players teased by the carrot on the stick for long enough, but the way it is right now is prohibitively difficult. Drink tickets for aiming to get certain abilities are rare. The chance to get an ability with a drink ticket is not very high despite that. It costs 20,000 to scrub a piece of gear for a pittance of ability chunks, probably just two chunks you want for that 20k. If you want your secondary abilities in sets of 3, it costs 30 chunks for one ability on one outfit if you spread it out between each piece, and doing that makes the item less applicable for other outfits, if you want to make everything clean and put your duplicates on one item it costs twice as many chunks just so that it's even more difficult to mix and match items.

The only way in the game to earn a surplus of money, get drink tickets, and get chunks without scrubbing/rerolling is salmon run, and worse than it only being open sometimes, when it is open you get the small number of prizes it has to offer in an hour and then there's nothing of worth to be gained for the other 11 or 23 or whatever hours it's open.

Let's say you have all of the chunks you need, potentially, but still on other pieces of gear that you need to scrub, so you can collect those chunks and put them all together on an outfit you want. Let's say you're splitting the abilities up to different items to keep the chunk cost down. That's still 90 chunks you need. Provided you have two useful abilities on every piece of gear you plan to scrub, that's 45 items at 20,000 a piece: 900,000G. That is for the WORSE version of the outfit where you can't mix and match pieces. If you want it modular, it costs 1,800,000G.

Your loss, you can select them almost instantly with motion. And they are really useful for vantage points and safe places to land, unlike your teammates a lot of times. I guess you really have never encountered a team that properly uses beacons in ranked (specially tower control and splat zones) and experience frustration for the constant coming of the enemy team while your teammates take a lot of time to get to the objective or that they superjump in a place that will get them killed.

The only issue with the tri slosher is that it always does a set amount of damage while most other weapons dont do full damage outside of there range.

Also all of Splatoon 2 starting stages heavily benefit the trislosher.

All of the stages are very small and compact type stages wuth lots of ledges and narrow spaces which make it easy to get trapped.

I shit on tri sloshers in shifty station and port mackrel easily casue they cant ambush you!

Why are the stages all so much smaller than Splatoon 1? I like the big stages, hope they add them back. Shifty was pretty cool but too flat.

>>386511851
And you could easily see if someone had a special ready to pop so either you make sure you can one shot them or be ready for them to pop it!

Only casuals cried about Splatoon 1 specials.

Only good specialist in Splat 2 are missile launcher and the ink jet cause you can pull of some tricky shit with it

>>386521903
I'm afraid the third stages used for splatfests probably will stay splatfest only too (meaning only once ever probably). They don't even have proper stage icons.

>>386521961
There is no "being ready" for them to pop it. What are you going to do in preparation? Run away? That person just having a special is already deterring you from attacking them because being ready for it means accepting you can't hurt them right now unless you do have something that can kill in one hit AND you sneak up on them.

I think the maps are way better balanced in that regard. The maps in the original splatoon were too weighted in long range weapons' favor. Especially Triggerfish And OG Meckerel. These maps give short range weapons a good chance, while long range weapons still have nice perches and lanes, not to mention that they have an inherent advantage in a shooter.

The big issue with the trislosher is its relative range. It shouldn't outrange a .52 gal. That is ridiculous, even if it was a 3 shot

Tri Slosher needs a fucking nerf. How do you counter that piece of shit weapon..

>>386522473
Treehouse fucked the localization when it comes to Marina. Like REALLY badly. She's supposed to be Pearl's lackey of sorts while still questioning if what she's doing sometimes is okay. Basically a mom/elder sister character to Pearl's brattiness/laziness. As a rough example of what their character dynamic is like, Pearl frequently cuts off her own teleprompter lines in the sense of "And the next Ranked stages are... blah blah blah, there they are whatever" and Marina cuts in with "Senpai, you're leaving it with just that!?". Marina also brown-noses Pearl a bit sometimes.
Instead we got a half-assed Marie knockoff with a dual personality disorder between sweet and full on bitch. I think they had two different translators on the team and one of them heavily disagreed with Marina being at all subservient to Pearl. I can't think of any reason other than that as to why her lines are so out of sync.

>>386522669
>ITS BROKEN BECAUSE I USE THE SHITTIEST WEAPON WITH LITERALLY THE WORST RANGE IN THE GAME
fuck off dude. anything with even a little bit of range can splat a tri slosher.

>>386522669
With an Inkbrush? Ambush them, failing that roll your bomb, don't try to arc it. They'll retardedly walk forward trying to splat you and walk right into it. Best tactic that works on a lot of shitters is using splashdown to get them to scare them back and then rolling the splat bomb at them. 90% of the time they try to turn back around to splat you and get a bomb right at their feet.

>>386523192
It has the same range as a splattershot, dumbass

>>386522612
Sloshers do less damage if you have the high ground, weirdly enough.

The Tri-Slosher is ridiculous and two-shots nearly anything and is extremely easy to hit with.

Still mad old special are not in. So mad. They could just tweak the old specials the way they changed the old rainmaker.

So it is by no means the worst range. Plus it has a wide hitbox that hits over obstacles and is a consistent, fast 2 shot. The weapon needs a nerf

There aren't a lot of fights in this game that happen at max range, the maps are generally not that large, and have lots of corners and walls that result in closer quarters fights. There are maps like Moray Towers that better favour long range, but that isn't the norm.

>>386524117
We're talking about the Tri-Slosher, which has lower range than the default Slosher. I believe the default Slosher sacrifices fire rate for its longer range.

This moron is talking about the tri-slosher. >>386524335 and he's a moron, because everything I listed was specifically for the trislosher

>>386524410
The original guy said that anything with range can splat a trislosher, which is blatantly untrue, considering that long list

>>386524127
There'll be a Switch XL, I guarantee it. Also they said they'll be adding new content for the game for another 2 years, so once you manage to get in on it, you'll likely still have new content to look forward to.

>Instead we got a half-assed Marie knockoff with a dual personality disorder between sweet and full on bitch. I think they had two different translators on the team and one of them heavily disagreed with Marina being at all subservient to Pearl. I can't think of any reason other than that as to why her lines are so out of sync.


THISSSSSSSS!

I thought i was the only one who noticed that Marina now basically acts snarky just like marie did back in splatoon 1 when shes was originally shy and timid during the test fires!

I stilll hate her either way even though i prefered Marie over callie.

Now Marina is nothing more than a knockoff of marie.

Pearl is still best bitch

No it isn't you, absolute fucking idiot. The trislosher outranges all of those. Do the fucking testing. I just did it to compile to list

I doubt it. We probably are getting a major update this month though considering there's a lot of new stuff that got datamined. I'll be damned if we don't get at least two new maps this month. Splatbrella would be nice too.

I cant wait for the new dual squelchers that have inkbomb sub and ink armor special. it's gonna b great. how many weapons do you think they'll introduce with each update?

>>386524919
Then you're shit at testing, because I just tried the Splattershot Jr., Aerospray MG, .52 gal, Splat Dualies, and Splattershot, and they all exceed the range of the Tri-Slosher. Tri-Slosher doesn't reach three lines in the testing field, even with different trajectories, the weapons I mentioned all do.

Sploosh-o-matic and the brushes are the only things that don't outrange the Tri-Slosher.

>>386525384
Nobody mentioned the Inkbrush until that person said he was talking about it all along at the end.

>>386524672
Not the anon you replied to but I feel like its safe to assume they will release a Switch XL. Nintendo likes to release different versions of their handhelds and even though the switch is a hybrid console/handheld I think it would get similar treatment if it continues to sell well. Plus re-releasing a more powerful version of your console is the hot thing right now.

>>386525461
I couldn't tell you. In reality they might release this kind of stuff separated. So far they've been releasing one weapon a week, they might keep it that way.

>>386525480
Holy shit, you're literally mentally handicapped. You didn't test its hit range, just the apparent range/turing range. Since you're such a fucking retard and don't know the difference between apparent range and the actual range at which weapons hit, I'll provide a video for you that shows just how good the range is on a trislosher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fO1YFLMNKo

I do miss Kraken. That special was so flavorful. Overall the game feels blander without it. At the very least they should have made splashdown turn the inkling into a giant squid that literally splashes down into ink or something like that to keep the theme.

Just picked this game up, have a few questions.

How do I access that PVE salmon run thing?

How often do the shops change inventory?

How many maps are there?

What's a good beginners weapon?

How do I git gud?

>>386526732
Check the menu you lazy fuck. All the info is right there.

>>386526395
>>386526104
Baller is just a nerfed Kraken, and ink armor is just a nerfed bubbler. Better to make it a new ability than change something people liked I guess

>>386526732
It's closed right now. You can see future times from your menu.
Every day at midnight.
Six or seven. Data miners found more.
The one you start with, faget.
Play the game.

>>386526732
Press X and you can see the maps schedule, salmon rin included.
Shops change inventory like every midnight, take into consideration that they may sell clothes you already have.
There are like 6 maps currently, with more to come, they will release one pretty soon.
Splattershot and splattershot jr (the first weapons) are already the best beginner weapons, both are good for turf wars and even ranked which unlocks at level 10.

>tfw the only one who likes moray towers
not so much in turf war, but it's awesome for tower control and rainmaker
I just love all the shortcuts you can take up the walls, probably my favorite movement option in the game

>>386527256
It sucks

>>386526732
Since people can't seem to count, there are 8 maps for turf war and ranked, and 2 for Salmon run. Splatfests also have their own special map that changes slightly every time

This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen in a "competitive" mode

What is even the point of ranks if half the people don't even need to go through them? And there will be people who get lucky and jump from C- to B because C- is a hellhole of people who don't know what they're doing, but they won't be ready for B because they fucking skipped 3 god damn ranks and they'll get blown the duck back in B. They'll literally have to just take it in the ass for a few matches cause they won't be ready. This is dumb as hell im genuinely angry this is a HORRIBLE system

The only way to get them outside of splatfests is through level up. Every level starting from 30 you'll get one snail from Judd.

There is literally no problem with this. Unless you want to be stuck in C hell where people grab the rainmaker and run around trying to ink turf like dumbasses cause they didn't take the 30 seconds to read the rules?

>tfw no glorious pompadour

>>386528052
You only skip ranks if you perform exceptionally for your rank. Some people have said they'd jumped ranked despite their bar being extremely cracked because they were at the top of their team constantly despite that, but I can't confirm that.

There's nothing wrong with someone rank skipping into a rank they aren't prepared for and getting blown up there. They either get good and hold their position or, boo hoo, they go down to a rank that they had previously skipped, where they obviously deserve to be.

>>386528465
Unless they add another way to get them later on, yeah. On the other hand, scrubbing mitigates their necessity, because you can accomplish the same results as a reroll except you have to level the gear back up yourself to re-do the rolls. The only thing that only snails can do right now is add slots, and you need around 250 to max out the slots on every item. They said they'd hold splatfests for a year I think, so if you get King/Queen in most of them you should have more than enough to max out the slots and have some left over for rerolling even if you always lose.

The Goo tuber is absolutely useless for Salmon Run. can't hide in the ink from salmonids and it charges ridiculously slow. I guess ducking into squid form makes repositioning easier, but nobody's going to be thinking of that

This is the last time I play this late. How is ranked this shit.

>>386529674
And once wave 2 comes in you won't really have much room to reposition. It's completely outclassed.

>Salmon run let's everyone in your group queue before starting and let's you add randoms and select when you start, but it automatically adds randoms after the first game so if someone needs to be AFK you have to be a dick and have some random trapped in the queue until we have everyone ready. >Splatfest is only playable with 3 friends.

the steel heads suck for the brush unless you lure them to a spot where you have height advantage, but you can easily kill the eel with the brush, and it's actually the best option for jaws because you always have the quick escape option if you find yourself stuck in green ink
