Question for those with a pro controller.
Did you notice any weird drifting? As in you look at one place, centre the camera, do a circular motion with the controller and at the end the reticle is facing somewhere completely different. Or is this normal? It's like it doesn't properly do diagonals or something.
Which weapon y'all using for Splatfest?
I remember kicking most ass with the splat duelies, but it had the curling alt-weapon then (if I remember right).
first for pumping into pearl's developing nubile body!

Look at that worry constantly plastered on her face.
It's there because she knows that even the slightest fuckup will get her deported back to the sewers.
She has to smile and pose for squids to lust after her or else "you gotta go back".
That also means she can't resist in the slightest. If some horny Squid wants to come up and taste her takoyaki, she can't fight back or else it'd be a scary Octo harming an innocent squid.

Yeah but that's more then enough time to get to Queen rank

yes, considering it's a stress test of sorts for them. but there are three regions you can download/play at separate times

I want her to bite through my femoral artory with her octopus beak, killing me within seconds.
>>182252565
Honestly, I've been posting that for a while now just waiting for someone to point that out.
You're the first person out of many, many (you)s to point out that takoyaki is octopus balls.
Congratulations.Then again, takoyaki aren't actual testicles, they're just dough balls with octopus inside so they could also reasonably reference her tits or ass.

Nope.

>>182253003
Rip Entry, of course.
is callie confirmed baddie
>>182253041
>>182253003
You spelt Ebb and Flow wrong.
Although outside of Splatfest Rip Entry would be best
>>182252317
So this is just gonna be made into a copypasta for each thread.
"Post it every day until you like it"?
>>182253003
were some of these datamined from the demo? e.g. don't slip
>>182252897
I'm glad I could be the one to finally make that connection!
>>182253041
So progressive!
>>182253003
endolphin and rip entry are on first, don't slip and undertow on second
>>182253178
JESUS! jumpscare warning next time you post shit like this
>>182252442
I wanna fuck that hippie-fish.
>>182252915
I'm beginning to become curious if this is a group of people trying to make this meme work out,
Or just one REALLY determined guy to search all boards for pictures of Shadman.
>>182253003
>implying I'm going to spoil this shit for myself
If I don't associate my first listen with in-game battles then the context is ruined.
Always save the first listen for the game.
>>182252897
Okay, now I NEED to see Marina bent over with her pants down and a bunch of fish flakes and sauce covering her ass so that it looks like actual takoyaki.
Guess the same could be done with her tits, but the ass has the perfect roundness for it.
>>182253405
Not like we didn't already hear them in context during the invitational.
>>182253405
For example, Persona 5's "Rivers In The Desert" sounds like a decent midboss theme unless you're there in the Shido bossfight that lasts for a fucking hour and he slowly turns from a Gundam villain into Senator Armstrong.
>>182253018
>We've seen the first black Octoling, but not the first male Octoling
That was unexpected
>>182253627
Why are Octarians so kinky?
so what are callie and marie doing in splat 2
>>182253596
I forgot people already played it.
If you did, how was the Mussel Gym map?
I can't tell from screenshots (avoiding videos) but it looks like Walleye with an elevated center.
>>182253627
Isn't the Japanese name for Octolings basically "Octopus Amazon"? That would imply they're all female.
>>182253178
You know that worst part is someones going to do a voice over of pearl free styling just like people did for the songs before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de9S1YpNM-M
>>182253915
Callie has gone missing, Marie is forgotten by the public.
Marie hires the protag as Agent 4 to hunt down Callie and investigate the escaped DJ Octavio.
Promo art shows a silhouette of Callie with Octarian tentacles and sunglasses, a la the Terminator 1 cover.
>>182252442
Meanwhile Jelfonzo's shop theme sounds like the Wii Shop theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGDF-y0fgwI
>>182253952
Wasn't there a male octo in human form in one of the Sunken Scrolls?
>>182253372
it's not just one person. Shadman hate has been on 4chan for a few years now. I mostly see it on /v/ whenever his art is posted there.
>>182253952
Yeah, the squid research lab also pointed out that only female octarians have a human form
>>182254163
>Wasn't there a male octo in human form in one of the Sunken Scrolls?
DJ Octavio is probably a special case, kinda like how all Gerudo are women except for Ganondorf
>>182252917
That pissed Marina is great. Too bad she isn't like that by default. I really hate her current face.
>>182251258
SOON!
newfag here, haven't played the first game getting 2. what happened to Callie?
>>182254326
...Wait, how do Gerudo people reproduce?
>>182253372
I think hating on Shadman it's pretty much the norm. After all, he's pretty famous, amongst other things, fordrawing suggestive stuff about real-life underage girls and porn of his own mother.
I can't really blame people for freaking out when they see his art
>>182254816
we dunno
>>182254613
gtfo marina
Someone have all the links to the new splatoon 2 songs?
>>182254816
Some time after losing the final splatfest, she disappeared and Marie is looking for her. It's later implied that shebecame allied with octarians
>>182254816
dont know yet but it's probably to do with the story in the singleplayer campgin in the new game
people speculate it was because she lost the last splatfest so she got mad and joined the other side
>>182255331
read the fucking thread like 10 posts above yours you dolt
Post nu-miiverse art
>>182253003
Rip Entry right now, but it might get old. Don't Slip I don't think I'll ever tire of listening to. Just has a good flow. Endolphin Surge might the only one I don't really like. I don't really like Off the Hook as a band though. Marina's singing is just awful by comparison.
>>182255420
Have you tried not being toxic?
Post squibs
>>182255012
it's not because of that, it's just because he's shit, (not to mention he doesn't even do his own lineart anymore) and just goes for shock value

I could swear I had a very cute squib saved on my laptop but I can't find it anymore. Have a woomy as apology
Reminder that Callie and Marie will never share warm moments together again and it's YOUR fault.
Will the final boss for Splatoon 2 be able to out do Octavio?
>>182256082
Is this genetic cuckoldry
>>182256831

>>182253405
I agree, but mostly for end-game stuff. The regular turf war music isn't that big of a deal, but no way am I gonna listen to the final boss music until I actually play it. Depends on the context.
>>182257626
You know as well as everyone it was always a bloody war around here, and looks like it's already shaping up to be the same for these new idols.

>>182258553
So what you're saying is 14 years old is fully developed and thus it's okay.
I fucking did it /ink/, I will be able to play the Splatfest with all of you.
The store only received 1 single Switch this week.

>>182256137
Callie had better personality
Marie was far more attractive
Spla2n fixed this problem by putting the personality and looks into one character, and the other being a hideous and obnoxious little gremlin
It's just like in that movie
In addition to what that anon said, Splatoon 2 is back up for ordering on Amazon but the reduced price is only for Prime members.

The Switch is in stock on Amazon as well
>>182259831
And he posts evidence of Marie being unattractive! He does it all!
>>182259959
My evidence being that the attractive one actually made it into the next game.
>>182260050
Yeah, Callie is make it.
>>182259880
Why the fuck is nobody listening to me!
>>182260050
Marie got Cuttlefish's old job. Callie is so important to the story of Splatoon 2 it literally revolves around her. Callie definitely got the better end.
>The controversial up and coming singers "Off the hook" made their official idol debut last week and critics, fans, and dissenters are still talking about it.

I want to talk about maps
https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Stage
For a basic outline of what we can possibly expect for map updates:
Splatoon 1 had 16 maps in total after all of the updates. It launched with 5. It added 5 additional maps within the first 2 months of its release. It then averaged 1 map a month(with October being skipped and December adding 2) for a total of 11 additional maps in 8 months.
Splatoon 2 will launch with 8 maps. 2 of which are updated versions of old maps. We have also been given glimpses of 2 maps that will be coming in updates.
With all of this in mind:

>Least favorite
>Maps you expect will return from Splatoon 1
>Predicted number of maps for Splatoon 2
>Favorite/most anticipated map for Splatoon 2
>General thoughts on Splatoon 2's maps
-Started weak, but ended up pretty strong. Good variety in design, terrain and aesthetics wise. Majority of maps were fun, a couple weren't, and some did not jive well with specific modes. Overall, great map design
-Flounder Heights, Mahi Mahi Resort, Blackbelly Skatepark
-Port Mackerel, Piranha Pit, Camp Triggerfish
-Dunno, maybe Kelp Dome
-I think 20 is a safe guess
-tough call, but going with Starfish Mainstage
-Looking pretty good so far. Most of the new ones seem to have a raised area in the center, which is interesting. I'm not too happy about Mackerel returning, especially with there being a new shipyard and boat map. One of those could've used a different aesthetic. But the improvements look good, and it is unique from a terrain perspective. Happy so far, but hoping for some out of the box designs to come in the updates

>>182269813
MediaMarkt is where I got my Switch too. At launch.
I pre-ordered from the major local outlets. But then, a mere two days before launch, I received a message telling me that they didn't have enough Switches and that I was among the unlucky few who wouldn't get one.
So I started calling around. And each and every place was out of stock. All the biggest ones were out. All the smallest ones were out.
But then I called MediaMarkt. And they indeed had a few. And they assured me that if I ordered one before the day was over, that I'd be guaranteed to get one for the launch day.
And I did. And I've been really grateful that I did. I was kind of panicking when my initial pre-order was withdrawn. And regretted that I hadn't pre-ordered from more outlets simultaneously.
But luckily enough, it all turned out fine for me.

I mean, I'd like it if ALL the maps from 1 make it to 2 eventually. Can't imagine the engine is so different that they couldn't just port them over fairly easily. Then again, it might piss people off if there were 30+ maps and you had to wait days, possibly possibly a week, to get your preferred maps in the rotation at the right time

>>Overall thoughts on Splatoon 1's maps
Overall I thought they made very good use of both verticality and horizontal space. As well as make good use of visibility, cover, and open areas.
>>Favorite maps from Splatoon 1
Walleye Warehouse and Blackbelly Skatepark. Flounder Heights and Saltspray Rig deserves a mention too.
>>Least favorite
Moray Towers for sure. Without question. The edits they did to the map over time made it a bit better, but it's still ass. The fact that regular Chargers can't shoot across the pit, whereas E-Liters can, is plain bullshit. Other weapons have an edge over Chargers in close combat, so jumping into the pit as a Charger spells doom more times than not. And fighting on the edges above while being shot at by E-Liters with no good menas of retaliation. Is utter ass too.
Aside from that I never really minded any one of the maps. I liked all of them.
>>Maps you expect will return from Splatoon 1
I don't know. Urchin Underpass is a classic and is in Mario Kart now. Wouldn't exactly be huge surprise to see it. But I do think they'll be focusing mainly on new maps.
>>General thoughts on Splatoon 2's maps
Haven't really seen enough of them to say I feel like. But from the Testfire and what little I've seen from pre-release footage, I'd say it looks good. Though the maps does seem a bit more square like. And I like the rectangular maps of the first game and would like to see maps like that in Splatoon 2 as well.
But that just ties into what I just said. Might just be those maps of Splatoon 2 and not an overall trend that'll persist. But we'll see.

>>182273065
I played the testfire so I can give a little opinion. I liked corridors but I know a lot of people don't. I played passively, just inking. Though I want to try being more of a stealthy player who splats members of the opposite team to help mine. Because of this, I am interested in maps that have verticality. I've watched a fair bit of Splatoon 1 gameplay and I like Moray Towers. I also like maps that have hazards on them like accidentally falling into water if you jump at the wrong place or turn into a squid at the wrong place.
As for design, I like places that look really lively. Not just industrial settings, even though that contradicts what I like in an architectural aspect. I like seeing trees and grass. The skate park from Splatoon 1, the humpback pump track, and the academy look cool.
>>182269515
>Overall
I felt like they were very basic with the aesthetic and terrain designs, and experimented further down the line (the garage doors on Triggerfish were a big thing)
>Favorites
Walleye, Urchin, and Flounder. Since I main SSJ I prefer close quarters with lots of corners and flanking opportunities.
>Least favorite
Wide open maps with little cover, and single lane maps like Arowana
>Returning
I really hope Blackbelly returns, it's nearly iconic and has a lot of space for throwing in a few new gimmicks like they did with Moray.
>Number of New Maps
With rotations being longer I can see them adding more maps than previously to keep things from getting repetitive, especially since they have better working knowledge of how maps work in play. With individual mode rankings, they can even introduce maps as mode-specific.
>Most Anticipated
Sturgeon and Musselforge fit the bill for my above preferences.
>Spla2n Overall
They started adding in environment gimmicks late into Splatoon's life cycle and I hope they come out strong with those features in Spla2n. Again, I'm all about flanking, so unconventional pathways are my jam.

>Overall
Early maps were largely experimental, much like the game itself. Walleye was purposefully designed to be as boring and standard as possible, everything else wasn't. Old Arowana and Urchin had great potential that was realised in their notoriously large reworks, Saltspray had some potential but also had a couple fatal flaws that prevented it from getting fixed, Port is still trash, Blackbelly was perfect from the very beginning (other than being too small for Rainmaker). Yes, I count Port as early reelase as there is evidence it was finalised before release.
Mid-releases had a lot more thought in them, and as a result a lot better composition. Compare Triggerfish from early trailers with Triggerfish we got, and you'll see what I mean. Best maps are mostly from here, and even worst ones aren't bad- Bluefin is the first "gimmick" map that simply doesn't work that well outside TW but it's still salvageable, and Flounder is absolutely evil but that's part of its charm.
Late releases have a lot of gimmicks for the sake of gimmicks, and as such are slightly down in quality and attention to detail. Vast unused spaces on Ancho-V and Pit in all modes, Luna bloodbath mid in Museum and Dynamofest Mahimahi Zones is where it shows its face in the worst light. That said, Mahimahi is easily in top 3 maps despite that, and the rest aren't really bad either.
>favourite Splat1 maps
Old Moray is absolutely spectacular. Tight yet open, sniper controls the map yet there is a metric fuckton of cover and flanking routes you can abuse to rid of them, and SZ layout means you need to control the whole map to make stable progress, and a stray sneakyboy can make a lot of difference. New Moray is trash- it's really fucking wide, there's less cover, less sniper control, and the zone is in the mid for pure Dynadongfest. They took the best map and turned it into a meh one.
cont'd
>>182273984
This is not a reasonable solution
>>182274628 cont'd
>least favourite
I'd say Flounder, but that's mostly because I main weapons that aren't good on it. Ancho-V is a pretty nasty map but it has a special place in my heart so I can't dislike it.
>maps you predict return
Optimistically? All of them as legacy maps for private battles. Realistically, they'll bring back reworked Kelp, Moray and Walleye that won popularity contest, maybe Trigggerfish and Mahimahi as well, plus any map they can shove gimmicks in- like they did with Mackerel and sponges.
>Splatoon 2 maps
Kinda dislike all of them so far. I'm a cat, I need my tight spaces, and those are all wide and wide-open, with big features and big height differentials. I know for sure I will absolutely despise Humpback.

>New Moray is trash- it's really fucking wide, there's less cover, less sniper control, and the zone is in the mid
I am definitely upset about the single splat zone layout, but I don't really see how the rest is a problem. Snipers still have a great advantage there, but now have more to keep track of and need to be more mobile. I haven't noticed and cover they have removed, nor have I seen it being that much wider, but that may be a lack of intent observation
