Topic: Splatoon 2

@Nicolai I'm a little more hard headed, because I'll keep at it for at least 4 rounds with different people to see if I was on a team that was bad or if my charging skills are just null and void that day.

I'll give the sploosh a shot again. It wasn't my favorite thing though.

@meleebrawler And how is losing to them because my teammates won't do anything but flapping around supposed to be a taunt or teabag?

@GoldenGamer88 If your teammates do nothing but squid dance, it is indeed a taunt.

Directed at you.

This is how griefers operate in Splatoon. You might wanna block them.

@Zyrac Oh, at me! Even though I've done nothing but try my best to win them the match despite our disadvantage - thanks to them. Well, I'll write down their names and block them. Thanks for the info.

@GoldenGamer88 The only acceptable context for sea-bagging/squid-flopping in my eyes if after defeating the final wave in Salmon Run. And even then there are slightly more tasteful celebrations.

If your opponent does it, at least you can be content in the knowledge their wasting precious inking time. If your teammate does it though... yeah, block 'em. Poor form.

The sploosh also had pretty much the deepest ink reserves of any weapon, you almost never ran out of ink while, well, inking turf. At any rate, the curling bomb can help give it an extra dose of aggressiveness, or help deter the enemy while you try another approach.

Also, Rainmaker on the Reef is really annoying. The side alley is too hard to defend if you're not there ahead of time and is practically a free lane to the goal, which is also cluttered with things to help the opposition hide.

@Zyrac @Nintendoer I think of the sploosh as an auto-brush. It's a lot like a REALLY rapidly mashed inkbrush without the serious finger pain of rapidly mashing inkbrush. It requires more accuracy than the wide swings of a brush, but kills a little faster, while technically inking faster, but with less range. Sploosh/brush/charger main, here....I'm hugely relieved to be getting my sploosh back! It's really a melee weapon that happens to look like a shooter. And it needs to be played pretty constantly. I can't play it for long without burning out, but when you're "in the zone" with a sploosh it's a rush!

_{...The word I edited out counts as profanity apparently, lol. -Joey}

I loved the Sploosh in the first game. It's great at covering turf thoroughly and kills very quickly at close range. Nice change of pace.

You're fodder for any long range weapon, however. NZAPs, Squelchers and Aerosprays will tear you up unless you can ambush.

Splatoon 2 is now rated M, red and white ink are confirmed for the splatfest.

Some guy on the enemy team in one of the Ranked modes was just running around randomly and spinning around. I don't know if he dropped his controller on the couch and his sticks got stuck a certain way or what, but it definitely gave us an easy win.

@Grumblevolcano Wait they are changing the ink colours for Splatfests now?

I had a guy called Covfefe (Yes really) and myself and one of my teammates started shooting him because he didn't move. Didn't DC. Just looked at the floor.

And I swear to God, Squidbagging/Seabagging is FAR more common now

This weekends Splatfest will have people spraying the corresponding condiment colour. It's ketchup vs. mayonnaise.

That's the first time I think I've seen either colour used.

@KirbyTheVampire Yesterday playing salmon run I had somebody that kept walk in straight lines until they walked in the water. It was like they had a rubber band on the stick or something. And there was another person who must have been five walking around looking at things like they just came out of a bunker after ten years. The only reason we made it past round one was because I used splashdown on two bosses right beside the basket with five seconds left. That literally got us to the 8/8. That was my first session of the day too, so I was worried it was going to be bad.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE That's brilliant!I think you're right,it will be the first time we've had either of those colours.

Spraying ketchup and mayo everywhere in the Twilight Zone,it doesn't get much more crazy than that.

@OorWullie Looks like I'll be using the carbon roller to spread my ketchup properly instead of spraying it like a savage.

@NapalmPsalm Yeah, I've seen a few hilariously bad people, especially in Turf War. I guess that comes with the territory with online games on Nintendo systems, what with the number of kids and whatnot. There aren't nearly as many bad players as I expected, though. I imagine that'll change with time, since most early adopters of the Switch and this game will be people at least 13+.

Anyone up for some league matches now/later?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Holy cow, red ink? That's a surprising first! They were avoiding that last time.

White ink, though....is kind of cool...

@NEStalgia Any particular reason why they avoided it? Didn't want to scare the kiddies and make them think it was blood or something?

@NEStalgia They did have red ink in the original.

Or it may have been orange. Im colour blind but I saw red XD
