Topic: Splatoon 3

@Fizza
Thank you so much! It pretty much made my day hearing that they’ll add online. But the real question is will it have couch multiplayer? It would be so easy to implement, but I get that they want to focus on online so I am ok if not.

Tableturf goes so hard but I'm waiting for the online functionality to really get into it. I knew I was gonna love it since I'm big into puzzle games but I seriously just spent an entire night playing it exclusively.

@GoombaKing64 Couch multiplayer may be hard since you're not supposed to see your opponent's hand. Local multiplayer between 2 switches would definitely be possible, though, if it isn't already.

I just discovered triggering Slammin' Lids to come down can take out Steelheads that are dumb enough to get close. Booyah! Forgive me, if I'm late to the party learning this. I'm assuming Splatoon jesus BenAV already knows.<3

@WoomyNNYes Oh man that is awesome! I think I may have used that to crush a few Chum or Cohocks before, but I had no idea it could just go through anything. It makes sense though

@WoomyNNYes I've had that happen to me a couple of times during my shifts and its always very entertaining/helpful when it does. Reminds me of the time I was chucking eggs from the elevation at Gone Fission Hydroplant and a Slammin' Lid spawned right under me. Easiest boss kill of my life XD

This is definitely the case sometimes. I've been playing a fair bit of turf war while grinding for chunks and stuff and I know there's at least one team of regular players that I've encountered pretty frequently. Whenever I see them on the opposition team I know we're probably about to get stomped.

@VoidofLight How can you tell what rank they are?

@ok1 I thought it told you after the match, but I could be remembering how 2 worked. All I know is that I can't find matches with people on my actual skill level, so therefore it isn't fun.

@WoomyNNYes But can you use a slammin lid to kill a chozuna?

I’m getting really tired of connection errors counting as losses in Series mode

@Deltarogue Good question. I don't know. I'm guessing no. Cohozuna stands to tall to fit under it. While cohozuna does do that bellyflop attack, and ends up laying down, I bet the algorithm doesn't allow cohozuna to bellyflop & go under a slammin lid. If I ever see cohozuna next to a slammin lid, I would for sure give it a try.

@WoomyNNYes @Deltarogue I feel like that'd be utterly broken if that was the case because all you'd have to do during an Xtrawave is just wait for a Slammin Lid to spawn, lure the Cohozuna over to it and guillotine it more or less. My guess is that it either does nothing or does a tiny bit of chip.

I'm watching CheWoomy live stream salmon run on youtube..... (she has good Eggsecutive rank gameplay)

I asked in the chat, "can Slammin Lid hurt Cohozuna?", and CheWoomy responded. I think she said it can, but it's only a tiny bit of damage?

So, I don't think it sounds like anything to fuss over.

@WoomyNNYes @Fizza Oh well, You never know until you ask.

How does anyone beat king salmon it’s impossible! I always run out of time.

@GoombaKing64 Yeah, it is tough. I've had the same thought. Sometimes it seems too tough. I've beaten it only twice (out of 200 shifts). Once when the game was new, and I was ranking up. And I did it just the other day at Profreshional 1. You have to have a decent team.(not a shocker) If you've got a good weapon, wail on it. Be sure to use your special weapon. It seems like many people forget to use their special (you get one use of your special for cohozuna). Slay bosses to throw golden eggs at cohozuna, or just to keep from getting overwhelmed. Generally speaking, if you see a flyfish, many high rank people only blow up one basket to cripple it, instead of blowing it up altogether. Because when they respawn with both baskets they're more brutal.

As I mentioned recently, I watch CheWoomy play Eggsectutive rank Salmon Run on youtube. She's really good. It's a good way to learn to be better at prioritizing the salmonid bosses. And I'm getting better and better at looking out for my teammates too, whether it's keeping ink on the ground so people with slow weapons can still swim & escape, or helping kill smallfries if someone has a charger or slow weapon, or reviving them. Below, you'll notice there's ink all over the ground below. I covered the ground all over the place in previous waves. I don't think we could have won if there wasn't ink all all over the ground. (Forgive me if I haven't said anything new).

Anyway, I saved a clip from when I won recently. It starts out with me throwing a splatbomb to revive a teammate. Then I barely survive a stinger beam. It was harry, for sure. But I had the blaster, and I utilized it fully, and got lucky with a good team.

@GoombaKing64 I think just having a good team who know what they're doing is the most important thing. Early on in the lower ranks I didn't kill it often at all but in Eggsecutive VP where most players are pretty competent it's not so bad a lot of the time. Killed six of them last night alone.

@BenAV YOU'VE KILLED 6 OF THEM??!! You need to take a chill pill and calm down my man lol.

@GoombaKing64 Beat one yesterday with 34 seconds to spare. Ignore the bosses, mostly, and just attack it directly if you have a weapon with high DPS. You can use the eggs to take out other bosses. Only use it on Cohozuna if you're relatively safe.

According to the App I killed 14 King Salmonids.
The only problem I have is that the game doesn't like to give me gold scales for the past 10 encounters or so! I think it doesn't matter if you best him or not.
