Topic: Splatoon 2

@NinjaAceTrainer Yeah, no problem.
I think each brella has its own thing it is good at. Overall I think the original brella is the most rounded between being used defensive or offensive to fit the situation(I've changed this sentence ten times and I can't get it to read right for me for some reason, sorry). Tenta is purely defense/support in my opinion, though you can be offensive with the bubble and shield technique. Undercover is an offensive weapon, but in a very passive way in my opinion. You need cover or high ground to work with to get them to fall into your trap like I explained above. I haven't tried the sorella brella yet, but it looks like they took everything great about the original and just gave it something that doesn't make sense. I'll have to try it out soon. Basically I feel like this is how it is for me:

Usefulness ---------------------------------- Favorite
1. Brella --------------------------------------- 1. Undercover
2. Tenta --------------------------------------- 1. Brella (yes both are #1 while leaning to UC)
3. Undercover ------------------------------ 3. Tenta
TBD Sorella --------------------------------- TBD Sorella

@NapalmPsalm I agree, though I think that the Undercover can be used as meagre support to protect an ally for a moment. Also, sorry for the late response, and also sorry because I cannot at all make out what you mean to convey to me with your list at the end.

@NinjaAceTrainer Haha, sorry about the list. It wasn't exactly directed at as much as it just being a discussion topic for anybody that decided to get on here.

Basically my two lists are what I think are the best to worst, and my favorite to least favorite. I like to see peoples thoughts/ranks of weapon sets within each particular weapon type.

Ah, in that case, Favourites:
1. Splat Brella
2. Tenta Brella/Undercover Brella
Usefulness:
1. Splat Brella
2. Undercover Brella
3. Tenta Brella
I haven't used the Sorella, so can't judge, but I'm not convinced by its set.

As for Ranked, X will help shift the wheat from the chaff.

Right now you just really have to stick with it. I finally broke +2 on SZ because I had to work like 2 players.

Man, I only get to play this game for about 45 minutes during the week at lunch. After work uverse is crap because everyone is how and slowing its lines down causing me to disconnect a lot. I usually play things that don't need internet after 4.

But I'm finally S class in everything but clamblitz. I think its going to take me forever to get to S+ in everything waiting for the luck of the draw in playing each mode and actually winning on top of that. I am moving somewhere that doesn't have uverse soon. Hopefully the other internet provider works better after work.

@NapalmPsalm Story of my life. I'm changing providers because #1 AT&T is pretty bad where I am and #2 Mobile Hotspot doesn't work at all for it.

Can I ask for confirmation that the purple Squid amiibo released for SPLATOON 2 will work with the original Wii U game to unlock the Kraken ability/challenges?

My young son is asking specifically for the green one which was released for SPLATOON 1 but that is long out of stock as is the later recoloured orange one. I just want to be sure the newer purple Squid amiibo still works the same with SPLATOON 1. Thank you.

@Lroy According to this site, yes, they are compatible.

@Octane I can see that site says they are compatible. Does it state that the purple one can unlock the Kraken? I can't seem to see that there?

@Lroy It says ''Access challenge mode stages, and beat them to unlock exclusive gear and mini-games …as Inkling Squid''

So I believe that all of the three squid amiibo unlock the same thing. Same applies to the boy and girl Inkling.

Across both games, Yes? Would like to use this Purple Squid to unlock the Kraken content in SPLATOON 1.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

@Lroy Yeah, according to Nintendo it's also compatible with the first game. So I think that you should be fine, it doesn't matter what colour squid you buy, they all unlock the same thing in Splatoon 1.

@Octane Super! Thank you again 👍

Has anyone noted that Splatoon 2 has outsold Splatoon and is nearing, or has perhaps now reached 5 million sales, having been out for less than a full year? I feel like this should be noted. The most recent number I could find was 4.91 million world wide sales as of "early 2018" If we assume the Switch is at around 15 million units sold, that means 1/3 of all Switch owners have bought Splatoon 2. That is REALLY impressive.

@Heavyarms55 Makes the original's sales even more impressive. Since it was a new IP too, and the Wii U sold even less than the Switch at this point. I'm certain Splatoon 2 will continue to sell for the next year or so. Can it do 7 or 8 million? I think so!

@Octane Considering the on-going support and the upcoming expansion, I have no doubt it will continue to sell well. Especially in Japan, where it is ludicrously popular. I imagine Nintendo is going the DLC route as opposed to the COD style of a new game every year. Which is something I much prefer.

Imagine if Splatoon 2 gets an extension on Splatfests for maybe 2019.

I'd be so excited.

If they add more stages after June, they really need to increase the number of stages per rotation (doubt they will though). It's got to the point where if you miss a 2 hour slot with a particular stage, the next time you see that stage is approaching a day later.

@Pazzo-ZaFool Nintendo already said during the Splatoon 2 Direct last year that Splatfests are staying for 2 years this time so we know Splatoon 2 is being supported in some way until at least July 2019.

My exact feelings. It works so well for Splatfests, carry it over to every day.
