This is not a general. This is a thread diacussing the datamine that recently happened. Just because a thread happens to be splatoon related doesn't make it a general.

With the logic you're using in these threads, every single thread on /v/ would be considered a general.

I'd like a mode where when you get splatted you go into a lifesaver like in Salmon Run, but pvp instead of pve

Fuck new modes we need more fucking maps. Half the shit in splatoon 1 got replaced with inferior clones and the only one that was kept fucking sucks.

What the fuck give me like 7 brella classes. it's good to finally see a list with the squiffer, Squiffer with autobomb and baller sounds ace.

>>386755764
How about an "All or Nothing" Mode, where everyone has to use a weapon that isn't a regular shooter?

Imagine it. A match with nothing but chargers, or rollers, or inkbrushes.

the fuck is that? A grenade launcher style charger?

>>386757028
with rainmaker there is only one object the entire game revolves around, this would be like if everyone had their own tiny rainmaker and would have to cross the entire map and back with it multiple times.

>>386757312
2 were kept, and the map design is better than the original. Only problem is tgat they're a bit samey. We need a new map added soon though. We should have at least one by now

>>386755764
There a ''something in the midle of the map'' protected by a massive ink shield. The goal is to break the shield. The only thing that can damage it are cannons place close by (perpendicular to both team axis) Whoever breaks the shield first or damages it more before time runs out

>>386754610
>Scatoon

>>386750956
>>386754765

I think if they ever make a Splatoon 3 it needs to have a more fully fleshed-out singleplayer. There's a lot of lore and shit in Splatoon and I'd like to see them do something more with it.

Another "expansion pack" sequel being made would just be too much, they need to change things up if they want to keep the series fresh in later installments.

>>386759131
I agree. Splatoon 3 needs to blow people away if they want to keep the series going, or it's going to become the next CoD. I think it's gonna be a while until we see Splatoon 3 though, since we're having Splatfests for the next 2 years.

Deathmatch would suck in this game.

>>386759367
>>386755764
how about something like cops and robbers? except both teams play both roles
if you get splatted, you get locked up and the others have to free you by inking the jail cell
instead of one big jail cell, there are four (for each team) spread across the map

Marie is in the middle of the map and teams fight to feed her their ink because she,s a slut. Also she's inflating

>>386755764
Keepaway, basically a combination of Splat Zones and Rainmaker. You hold an object to make a timer count down. To prevent camping, the lower the timer gets the closer you have to get to a specified area on the map.

The balloon mode from the original game's two player dojo. Shoot down the most targets to win.

Group raids into Octoling dungeons.

Alternatively, with another team playing the Octolings.

>>386760147
That would be over too quickly though, it would have to be set up so that if 3 people are jailed, the last person can't be. You would earn points per opponent you jailed, and whoever hits the limit or has the most at the end wins

>>386750151
That's Splashdown. Ink Armor takes good timing to be useful, like most of the specials now.

>>386760436

Except Stingray, which is almost never useful and most of the time not even a good idea!

>>386760864
What about the hamster ball? that doesn't seem useful either.

Splashdown is literally Fist of Panic

>>386761278
Don't get my hopes up. I NEED a new stage already.

>>386761926
It'll happen. Don't worry anon, it's long overdue.

>>386761881
It's also good for just surprising multiple opponents.

Either way, it's not invincible, and often can put you in a spot where you are killed for using it. If someone tries to hit it while panicked, it's easy to pick them off by just aiming up.

>>386761091

Hamster ball can kill if you corner, can paint a path, and most importantly doesn't leave you as a giant retarded target unable to defend themselves like Stingray does.

Fucking finally. If we're not gonna get the original Squelchers back, at least they made a version of the dualies that didn't suck beyond all belief.

>>386762980
Sub power up just makes you throw them further. You need a bit over 2 mains of ink saver in order to throw 3.

>>386754801
Wait a minute, I didn't post this...

>>386763118
The current Squelchie isn't too bad, though. Better than the regular Dual in the first game.

>>386758173
It's a charger that can decently tap shot

2 shot kill, but in the first game, someone would hit you with a full charge, then tap again to kill.

>>386758173
It's a charger that can tap fire and keep its range. It's still fairly short range, but it charged in like a quarter of a second and could tap fire again after that for a quick kill.

This right fucking here

ALL OF SPLATOON 2 STAGES ARE FUCKING ASS, ASSSSSSSSSSSSS!
THE ONLY GOOD STAGE SO FAR HAS BEEN SHIFTY STATION AND THE DEVS ARE RETARDED ENOUGH TO MAKE IT SPLATFEST ONLY!

All of these stages are too damn small and comapct and im tired of getting fucking ambushed by fucking sloshers and blasters and you cant do shit about it but die becasue there is no where to fucking run or maneuver too except but to jump back to the spawn point.

>Arowana mall
>Blackbelly skatepark(humpback pump track is fucking garbage arena layout compared to this simple beauty)
>Walleye warehouse
>Urchin underpass
>FLOUNDER FUCKING HEIGHTS

Were all considered some of the smaller maps,but they didn't have so much shit clogging up the fighting arena.

Its like the guys who developed Mahi mahi resort and hammerhead bridge made all the stages in this game because those were the only couple of maps in splatoon 1 that felt cluttered.
Whichever Dev designed these maps needs to be kicked in the balls!
People wouldn't be complaining half as much about the tri slosher if these stages weren't literally made for the thing to fuck you up!
Every time i try to escape or run i have to either climb up something or swim around something which results in you getting kill half the fucking time.

>>386758536
>and the map design is better than the original
Shut the Fuck up turf war baby!
All of the maps need to be redesigned because they are all garbage in ranked modes which is obviously a node you dont play!

All of these maps are like the old Urchin Underpass and they are all very easily conqured within the first 15 seconds of a match
and held down by a good team for an easy win.

They need to remove so many bullshit objects from these maps its not even funny

>.52 Gal Deco

>>386763513
The bomb will certainly improve it, as it would most weapons, but they're not really bad in this game. In the original, the Duals were pretty much pointless unless you really needed to have a gun with echo and 96 range, but with twice the TTK.

He's only revealed the Squeezer and alternate kits to weapons we already know about. He's not going to reveal it all because that would ruin all the fun.

>>386764110
Because none of the updates include any map data except placeholder names and the basic structure for Shifty Station.

>>386763448

I agree that Splat2ns maps are generally much weaker and less interesting overall.

That is easily my least favorite map in the series, personally

>>386760436
Splashdown isn't a panic button. You can easily shoot the guy out of the air

>>386764286
I like them a lot more. Most of Splat 1's maps, especially the earlier ones, were so linear and reliant on chokepoints. I can only think of a couple that didn't have the entire map structured as a long 3-lane hall.

>>386764110
Its not on that website, but they found code for 2 new maps, code for 2 returning maps, the skatepark and kelp dome, and a new salmon mode map.

>>386762713
No, it still was

That honor goes to Musselforge, for me. At least you have room to stage a comeback in Mainstage and even the ship. Once a good team controls the center in Musselforge, it's nigh fucking impossible to pull a 180.

>>386764857
Not really. There are enough flank routes that it's actually sorta difficult to hold the top part for an extended period of time.

>>386764986
Often times, the losing team on Musselforge will start staging a comeback and fail after the initial push. It's a literal uphill battle from four of those flanking routes, and a good team can shut out any push from them.

I've seen this both from my teams and enemy teams. It's consistent.

>>386765183

No fuck you, we need some open spaces in this game, badly.

I miss Shifty Station already.

>>386765228
Maybe for the shorter-ranged weapons it's hard, but I can generally make a comeback with the Jet Squelcher.

To much shit everywhere and can be easily held down from certain points because of its awkward stage layout!
For starters they need to raise those big ass screens in the center of the stage much higher so you can pop the pussys that like to camp up there

My favorite new map is the art academy,but its still a shitty map compared to its predecessors!

>>386764051
Yes they are you turf war baby!

Humpback pump track has to many fucking ledges and is just awkward to fight in from certain spots on the map

Muscleforge fitness also has the same problem as humpback pump track

Art academy is okay,but they clutter it up with so much shit in ranked modes when theres already lots of objects to hide and use for cover in the stage normally

Moray towers was made better

Port mackerel is still more or less the same even in its ranked mode versions.
My favorite stage of the old ones was port mack and it was always a perfect map, so they were at least smart enough not to touch it.

They do need to get rid of the sponges in the midle and leave the ones in the back corner or vice versa.

Dont need 4 big ass sponges in an already small map

>>386765252

>>386765430

No I'm a Splatling main upset I can't just spray at people's feet and laugh while they fail to reach me

Either way variety is better and most of the new maps are too constricted. The Reef is good though.

>>386749628
Probably my old main the Bamboozler, not sure if Mk I or Mk II, hopefully the Mk III returns later, burst bombs are simply the best partner for the Bamboozler.
I definitively want to try the Sorella Brella too and if we get a Splat Brella with better range later on I'd definitively go for that.

I'm glad you agree and posted solid evidence that your opinions are meaningless.
Also post your main.

>>386765780
You clearly have none if you are complaining about getting ambushed, as there are so many places to perch up with only one or two flank routes to cover. Plues, you said that Mahi was cluttered, which means you're an absolute retard, as that map was mostly open areas and ledges for snipers to roost in. If you got ambushed there, you are beyond hope and should genuinely quit

I was on Team Mayo and I can confirm you're wrong. I got into Mayo v Mayo matches and with a 27-73 split, I highly doubt it was because there were no Ketchup players at the time and I was playing during off hours.

It's more likely that we just couldn't find a good match. Your power level determines who you get paired up with, but it also determines who you're up against. As a result, there were times when my Mayo Team had a power level much higher or lower than any Ketchup Team looking for a match, so I got a mirror.

In other words, this lack of balance doesn't exist. You're not gonna have the best Ketchup players exclusively fighting each other while the weak ones are the ones representing. Teams of similar skill levels will be pinned against each other no matter what, making it as fair as can possibly be.

Also, the best Ketchup players make more mistakes than the worst Mayo players. That's a fact. Yeah, look it up.

Mahi mahi was ass and had an unecessary gimmick throw in!

Mahi mahi was filled with ledges and shit all over the fucking map which made it easy for snipers to sit and camp spot and you couldn't reach them becasue you would have to climb and jump around so much that they would spot you before you got close.

>>386766423
No incentive to move at all once you get the lead. The enemy would have to come to you, and you can just hide in ink forever.
Or jump back to the spawn point where you're invincible.

>>386765412
>Port mackerel is still more or less the same
This is how I know you're a shitter with no taste. Mackerel was made far better with the addition of sponges and being able to climb on the crates. It changes the entire feel and balance of the map. Of course you liked it before when it was all about shooting down hallways without any semblance of movement or awareness. Now they've actually given short range weapons a chance on it and made you have to be more aware and proactive than simply spraying ink down a corridor

no shit you're not the other guy, you're the same shitter spamming his retarded map analysis everywhere. First you were complaining about maps(like Mahi and Hammerhead) having too much clutter, as they let people ambush you, and then when I called you out, you switched it to "the clutter makes it too easy for snipers to camp" which doesn't even make fucking sense. You're genuinely retarded and don't know shit about stage design. That pic isn't even that busy, but even if it was, that's just the middle, the lanes aren't busy at all. And Splat Zones has nothing at all in the middle. Go learn to be less of a shitty player. Or maybe complain about the octobrush being OP to really hammer in that stupidity

Why does everyone say the Kracken was so terribly strong? While it may counter short-range weapons well, as long as you kept shooting at it with a long-range weapon, it couldn't touch you. Now the Bubbler, that was OP. Sure you could also shoot at that to attempt to repel them, but they could still shoot you with their gun, unlock the Kracken where you had to run into your opponent.

>>386767007

My main issue was that it was instant invincibility from squid form. So you could be hiding in a puddle of ink and immediately have the upper hand. Also some weapons sucked at pushing the Kraken back, so you couldn't do a whole lot to counter them.
Quick Respawn was more broken. So was the Bubbler.

The kraken would instantly kill any RM or TC push, effectively making overtimes pointless. And yeah, any shortrange weapon was fucked over by them. So they were very OP. Bubbler was awful too, but not so dominant in specific scenarios. It needed to go too (I'm glad we got a clean slate of specials), but Kraken imbalanced the game more, I'd say

The Tri Slosher is objectively really good because of its range and kit. It's good at slaying, building armor, and breaking armor. The Octobrush has no fucking range, and the Emperry Dualies do a much better job at everything than the Brush.

>>386751785
It's the H3/L3's cousin or the Inkbrush in gun form. It has no spread and shoots as fast as you hit the button.

All dualies, the Brella, the Squeezer, Clash Blaster, Goo Tuber and the Flingza Roller.
There's also text strings for 4 more different models of dualies and 2 more umbrellas. Nintendo also said there's two more kinds of weapons that they haven't talked about yet and were scrubbed or haven't been added to the game yet.

Quit trying to turn this into a dick measuring contest while simultaneously screaming "I-I'M A GROWER!"

Learn the fucking maps and keep your head on a swivel

>>386767813
Yes, because the trislosher can shoot over obstacles/through the pillar on the tower and has the same range as a splatter shot, while to octobrush has less range than dualies. The fact that you even compare them shows how idiotic you are

Blackbelly Skatepark and Kelp Dome were updated with assets in the 1.1.1 update. All the maps from 1 are still there in the files.

It's the same one from the last time too.

>>386768443
>The fact that you even compare them

is this the same guy? the two weapons that gets the most vocal crying games are Tri Slosher because of its' range and Octo because it fucks with chargerfags and supershort range weapons. Most people in high rank use midrange weapons so the octobrush is seen as predictable.

Protip Octofags: If you are directly confronting an enemy to splat YOU ARE USING THE WEAPON WRONG.

>>386768683
I don't even see a downside for Nintendo, if they really cared about datamining they'd refrain from including weapons in patches until they're about to be released.

>>386768292
>you're pathetic for actually discussing the stages!
lol, if you're too retarded to for a real reply, don't worry about it, but no need to be so edgy

>>386768776
It's actually a different leaker. The trannyfag from last time is trying to get his fat hands on the files to leak everything.

Dualie Squelchers and Octobrush are my preferred weapons right now, and Custom Dualie Squelchers and Octobrush Nouveau are pretty much the perfect versions of them in my eyes, I can't wait until they're out. I'll miss my autobuddies, but I hate Inkjet.

>everyone hates the Tri Slosher
>give it a tri
>it's really fucking good and the kills feel incredibly undeserved
>barely even need to aim
Does every spread of ink need to do 60 damage? That's pretty busted considering it's range.

>>386768789
They both get cried about, but one is actually good and could use a small nerf while the other is mediocre at best and only gets complaints from shitters. I have no idea how you think it fucks with chargers or ranged weapons. A good charger will take it out with ease. And yes, they're using the weapon wrong if they confront someone head on, but pretty much any weapon can be good for ambushing, so the weapon's niche isn't all that exclusive. That's why the weapon isn't actually that good

>>386769054
Yeah, all 3 projectiles deal the same damage. It had much less range in the first game, but wasn't used because a better gun had the same kit.

>>386755764
I want wager matches to bet sea snails on

>>386768649
I missed the emperries on the previous reply

The regular splat duelies are good due to burst bombs, I retain my initial argument.

>>386769054
I did the same thing as you the other day. Got really frustrated and thought I'd see if it was as easy as it felt, and it absolutely was. Just mash the button down slopes or into conflict areas/chokepoints. Not one death, ink armor for days, top score of the team for a quarter of the effort, enemy team completely unable to take certain paths because it was just being sloshed 24/7.

>>386769123
I'm convinced it's mostly shit chargers that bitch about the octobrush at this point.
>Charger tries to camp over mid
>Just rush them down with the brush
>Laugh as they panick fire and die
I know a good charger will take me out if I even attempt to roll at them with any brush.

>>386769054
No, the sides do something like 55 dmg.

Which doesn't really matter because it kills in 2 hits regardless. Now you understand why everyone hates it

>>386769123
>>386769123

>A good charger will take it out with ease.

brushes are the only weapon that can escape harm quickly regardless of enemy ink coverage. Also if a brush is directly in front of a charger that doesn't have a charge ready they are fucked. Then again most ofthe chargerfags I see are campers that think they can't get jumped so many i am just fighting shitters.

>>386769541

a good charger NEEDS to take out brushfags quickly otherwise they need to divert their attention from the general battlefield to take out one faggot that is tailing them. Doesn't help most chargers are still SEETHING over Tenta Missiles.

>>386769718
If you think your ability to run through enemy ink will stop a charger from getting you, you're playing against shitters. You pretty much have to stay out of lines of sight/range entirely when there is a good charger on the other team

This guy had it right: >>386769541

>>386769958

so Ninja Squid plus staying wary of their line of sight which they made into a giant flashlight in S2? Thanks i already knew that.

>>386769915
They Don't need to take a brushfag out any more than anyone else on the enemy team. the charger just needs to lock down space and not have an incompetent team, and the brushfag will never be able to get around the front lines people who outrange him. He'll never have a chance to pressure the sniper

>>386750956
there are lot of colorfull clunky and slow games on ps1

>>386770118
>Ninja squid
enjoy being slow and taking forever to sneak back at a chance to kill the sniper, while your team gets picked off and loses the objective. And the charger already showed where it was aiming very clearly in S1. And are you just going to pretend you won't face good chargers who pull their laser off a ledge/wall for quick snipe without warning?

What's the point in staggering weapon releases like this?

>>386770701
Looks fine to me. Abilities aren't as strong in this game in general, those are all good for general purposes.

>>386770438
That's only one part of the equation, and I'd personally rather have ink saver main and sub, so that I can harass snipers with autobombs than get up to base speed with stealthy swimming. But my dislike of Ninja might be a holdover from Splat1 when swim speed ups were more effective. How are you liking ninja?

>>386770495
I'm not the charger in this scenario, moron, and I actually don't use the motion controls, despite them being an improvement over just sticks. Could never get used to them, wish they let you move the Y axis with sticks while they were on

>>386757312
>>386763448
>>386764286
Splatoon 2's maps are much stronger and the weakest ones are the ones they brought back. Splatoon 1's opening maps were all three lane shit with easy chokepoints. And yet it's harder to circle someone in this game due to the map design unless you're a retard and not paying attention. If you're getting ambushed you're not being aware enough. It's hard to get behind someone without barreling through an area the other team should control, which is better design. There's much more viability in where to go and what choices to make, and all weapons are viable, even the short ones.

Reef is Underpass but not shit like it was originally.

>>386767434
Literally instant invulnerability with the power to scale walls and kill anything, wipe out a tower or Rainmaker with ease. Kraken was fucking broken, there's a reason Ink Armor has a long wind up time and Baller can be broken by enemy fire.

>ninja/SS with ink savers

>>386749628

>>386749628
>Octobrush nouveau
This could either be really good or really bad. It's definitely based around popping the missles and then getting back to the fight and I might have to make a set specifically for it.

Is Ink Resistance any good?

>>386772175
Not particularly. It was really good when Splatoon 1 first came out, but it's been nerfed a few times since then.

>>386772157
The beakons and missles make it a good support weapon Kinda like the original octobrush, but tenta fits suppor better than kraken did. It could be decent, as it can cover ground and build special quickly, but support roles are so dependent on the rest of your team that it may not be worthwhile for solo queue ranked. That's why I dropped the original and picked up the nouveau in splat1

>>386772175
Don't listen to the other guy. It is really good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyLDxIuhhJg

this game really really needs more maps

almost every map heavily favors buckets, octos and ink armor

it's so easy to just pick trislosher, octo, or any weapon with ink armor really and murder everyone

>tfw pick NZAP
>instantly get to S+ in zones because of ink armor spam

the maps need more variety

>>386772970
I'm not sure what you expect them to change about MAP design to make ink armor less powerful.

>it's a let me shoot my way through with the rainmaker instead of just pushing ahead with it episode

>>386773241
i agree that ink armor needs more of a direct nerf, but it's also partly really strong right now because of how cluttered the maps are

game just needs more flat and open maps like shifty station, chargers aren't the greatest right now and that's also partly because of almost every map being a cluttered mess

>S rank charger thinks his job is doing anything but splatting people

>>386773434
chargers are fine

Next post will be removed from the game.

>>386772970
>>386773434
That's not the case, but you can reiterate the same shit over and over, I guess. Trislosher is only good because of its excess range, not the map design. And octo's aren't that good at all. Ink armor might need a nerf, might not. I think it is too early to call on that. But seriously, if you think chargers aren't good right now, you're not facing the good ones in S+

>>386773434
Chargers have tons of places to hide and perch themselves as well. Just because they don't have line of sight over the entire map doesn't make them bad, a good charger is still the best member of its team in splatzones and tower control.

>>386769527

If you think that's bad, you should try out Octobrush. I was sick of being stuck in the same rank so I started using it and basically won nearly all my later matches. Especially on Tower Control, all you need to do is mash the trigger and occasionally get behind people.

I actually do have to admit, although kills with it feel undeserved it's kinda fun to use.

Quick! How do we fix sting ray? More damage and better aiming?

I need that fucking .96 Gal and Splash Wall

>>386773886
Cross hair and let you swim with it.

>>386773873
I do use Octobrush. I have more luck with it in tower control because it's easy to hit everything on the tower with its spread, but I've found it doesn't carry me nearly as much now in higher ranks, most people are good enough to stay out of range, and a lot of the time the best I can manage is a trade, so I've started switching to longer range weapons.

You don't have to aim when you are attacking, so it is fairly braindead, I've gotten some mean, undeserved kills with it, but I think Trislosher is worse.

>>386773873
Good luck with that at A or higher when people can aim more than a foot in front of them

>>386773976
you can swim with it, but crosshair would be nice

>>386773886
Faster start up time
Half the TTK
Faster turning
Better mobility
Swim with it

>>386773886
just needs a cross hair
it's actually pretty dangerous when people can aim with it, but aiming with it is pretty awkward without a crosshair

>>386774160
Yep, it can be brain dead at lower ranks because players are so shitty that they'll walk right into you, but trying to use it at higher ranks requires a shit ton of awareness and movement and stealth to overcome its horrible range

>>386773976
Plot twist: your team mates can swim in the ink ray.

>Heavy Splatling with a splash wall

i can't wait to start paying nintendo to use their online service. With all of the amazing things splatoon 2 does with it's multiplayer it's going to be great. I love not being able to play with my friends. I love not having any type of communication. I love getting locked out of all of the gametypes. I love not being able to change my gear while waiting for a match to start.
>people actually defend this

It's fun but it's not one of those games people will play for years on end like tf2,overwatch,cod,or halo. i bet half of the community drops out when the payed online service comes out. i hope you guys filled out that survey nintendo emailed out.

>>386774361

Yeah I've already pretty much stopped using it because people actually know how to counter it now I just used it to quickly climb out of the lower ranks since my team was garbage there most of the time.
>>386774160
That's what I found too, in higher ranks Octobrush requires quite a bit of geniune skill to actually be useful while with trislosher you can practically use it the same in C rank or A rank. I still don't think it's broken though, just really good.

They gave it the sprinkler, that's the kinda garbage you give a weapon that would otherwise be too good. Ink Storm doesn't really add up with it either, they picked both of these because they thematically sound like funny things to give an umbrella.

>>386772719
No, he's still right given you're never going to be running 20 yard stretches through enemy ink. There's like no scenarios where it's actually useful. Like what, you're going to RUN away through enemy ink from an enemy that can freely swim? That's not fast enough to do jack shit. Run toward an enemy through their ink? If you're trying to get toward an enemy, what's the point of not just jumping forward and firing, which'll ink the ground regardless?

The superior choice for running away or going through enemy territory will always be spray in front and swim through. You're never going to get faster by running with ink resistance, and you're wasting ability slots that can actually be useful.

>no splash damage, need the most absolute of precision and leading of your shots
>overall shitty mobility so it's easy to get picked off in the air

It's kinda nice for shooting turf in Turf War and Splat Zones, but it's overall shit

>>386775938
It's not about the sprint, it's about how splashes of enemy ink won't slow you as you swim through your own scattered spray or when you get burst bombed and are trying to inch back into your own ink quickyl. Not to mention how it slows the damage from being in enemy ink.

It is useful, especially in a world where most gear abilities don't do all that much

>>386776248
Inkjet is one of the strongest specials right now, what the fuck are you on? You probably try to use it as a panic button and eat shit, it's supposed to be used during a push and clear out a group of foes.
>no splash damage
Literally false.

It's okay. It makes for good pressure if you can avoid getting picked off by a charger.. As you said, It's good in SZ, and I think it is also good in RM, as chargers can't perch as much, and the rainmaker is a slow, easy target. I think the pressure it exudes makes good for starting a push with your team, even with the charger risk. It could use more splash damage for sure though

I'm the guy you replied to who hates it. I'm just bad at aiming it, I get sniped by other people using it all the time. Mobility is fine if you know you can still turn into a squid to dive down to ground level and swim in ink even while it's active.

>Top tier (always useful):

Sting Ray

The thing about the Splatoon 2 specials is that they all require a degree of timing to be effective, if you use Ink Armor and 2 of your teammates are still respawning, it's no good. Sting Ray is the most situational but when used on the Tower or keeping the enemy team from picking up the Rainmaker, it's really good. Splatoon 2's specials aren't win buttons or get out of jail free cards, making them much more balanced than Splatoon 1's. Echolocator and Inkzooka were always good, all the time. Killer Wail denied a massive area to the enemy team, Bubbler and Kraken dominated 1v1s, ect.
Ink Storm is crucial during a push and can finish off enemies that would otherwise escape, but can still be walked around if it was thrown in a bad area. Splashdown is a death sentence for someone backed into a corner, but if someone tries to use it as a panic button they're probably gonna die. Baller is good for clearing out an area, but if someone tries to rush in with it like it's the Kraken it'll pop on them. They all have strengths and weaknesses and require skill and timing to use. People who say the Splatoon 2 specials are weak are just idiots who would mash their special button the instant their meter was charged and get rewarded for it.

I agree wholeheartedly with your paragraph. Splatoon1's specials were so powerful that the core gameplay would break down when they were used. I'm glad we have specials that are much more about coordinated and situational advantage that still requires and can be countered by good fundamental gameplay.

I think your list is a bit off. I'll give mine and then talk through what I see as wrong in yours
>Top tier (always useful):

Sting Ray

You shouldn't separate the specials on who they are used(splashdown on jump vs otherwise), since that is part of the execution. Separation per mode/map is a different story, but is too fine grain to get into at first blush on a list. I think you are vastly undervaluing the amount of pressure that a bombrush exerts, no matter what the mode is. It can single handedly stop a push when well used. I think that Inkstorm's passive area control and damage over time is really useful. It may be more map/team dependent than others, but it has really low commitment and can facilitate some great pushes. I'd put it over Inkjet slightly, because of how low risk there is. Splashdown raw isn't amazing, and coordinatin a superjump for it can be difficult and time consuming, plus the inherent risk of jumping into enemy infested territory. Other than that, I think you've got a sound list

Which would you buff/nerf and how? I think the balance is pretty good right now, and the tiers are open to interpretation, so you don't need to do too much, but I'm curious about what you think

>>386779671

not that guy, but I want to respond
>Get out of jail free or instant win button are just memes
That's just not true. Kraken and Bubbler were panic buttons that worked incredibly well and pretty much killed the viability of close range weapons. Kraken was also an instant win button in overtime for RM or TC, as it killed the opponent's push. The problem with things like kraken, bubbler, and somehwat inkzooka and echolocator was that they were so powerful they couldn't be countered by skillful normal play. They were typically a free push or a free end to a push unless the map prevented their utility or the other team could respond with a special of their own. That's shitty design and leads to shit like Overwatch where the entire match revolves around who can use their Ults better. Specials shouldn't completely negate the value of normal gameplay from the opposing team. They should help increase the value of your teams. A kraken running right onto a tower or preventing death from and killing a close range weapon was too much

>>386785383
I wonder if the Kraken would have been better if being shot locked it in place or slowed it rather than pushing it back, so you could both prevent it trying to attack you and also prevent it trying to escape. I suppose you wouldn't be able to push them off towers though, not that it matters too much anymore.

>>386785182
Thanks anon, I'm trying to have some good discussion, cause I really like this game and think it made some great design revisions. don't bother with that moron. Pretty sure it is >>386785369 , who is just assblasted about being unable to form a cogent argument for his dislike of the new maps beyond his inability to cover his flank

>>386785603
Locking it in place isn't the worst idea. The push really only helped with towers on Triggerfish and occasionally Bluefin. Slowing it would be worse than the push though, because not every weapon can backpedal while shooting

>>386785383
I agree but they could countered with the exception of the inkzooka which was only bad if the person who pops it can't aim for shit.

Exholocator doesn't mean shit if guy who you locate still kills your ass

Bubbler and kraken could be easily held back by 2 or more players.

Ink strike was only powerful in tower control

Bomb rushes were overAll still the same as they are in splatoon 2

>>386785961
I mean, all in all, just removing it was the best course of action. Locking it in place would make it pretty non-threatening, but it also means that as soon as someone decides to pop their kraken, at least one person has to devote themselves to keeping him pinned down so he doesn't one shot unsuspecting or preoccupied teammates. You're just forced to waste your time on him. Ink Armor and Baller in 2 being destroyed in a certain number of hits is much better.

>>386786598
>Exholocator doesn't mean shit if guy who you locate still kills your ass
yeah, but if you let him kill your ass, you're a moron. I agree that echo wasn't horrible, it was mainly uninspired and, again, fucked over short range weapons way more than long range ones.
>Bubbler and kraken could be easily held back by 2 or more players.
2 people holding back a kraken are two people who will get picked off by another player. And that requires both a poor use by the kraken and a coordinated effort by the other team (I almost never saw it happen is solo queue ranked). People can't really hold back a bubbler unless they outrange the person in the bubble.
>Ink strike was only powerful in tower control
It was also decent in SZ, but it wasn't close to the worst special. Except in turf war, where it was incredible. But who really cares about the balance of turf war
>Bomb rushes were overAll still the same as they are in splatoon 2
true. though isn't the range on throws decreased unless you spend time charging the throw? Is so, that's a decent nerf

>>386763802

You're a fucking idiot. The CoD model is perfect for games like this. Re-inventing the wheel is totally uneccessary. Just keep tweaking the balance and adding small changes each time.

>>386787485
>on a more powerful Trislosher
It's the same main weapon but with a different kit retard
It'll definitely be nerfed by then too

>>386787820

>>386788028
>CoD games don't have any content
That's just straight up wrong. Black Ops 3 has Smash Bros levels of extra content and modes. Like seriously: Freerun Mode, Dead Ops Arcade 2, Zombies, Nightmares, Story Campaign, Co-op Story Campaign.
>Released all the time.
This game will not be replaced for at least 2 years because that's the lifespan they gave it for dlc and splatfest support. An update and re-release every two-three years is fine by me.

They don't. They want to re-release the game multiplayer game repeatedly and only do small changes.

The whole singleplayer campaign in itself is about as much extra content and work as they're gonna put it in. And you really shouldn't complain since S2's campaign is literally a shitload bigger than S1's thanks to supporting a wide variety of weapons types.
