Grayson Allen
We should probably add some Splatoon 2 stuff to the faq. Gyros in the controllers, map on x, weapons and specials confirmed, that sort of thing.
Josiah Butler
>that one retard on the otherside of the stage while we're pushing the RM forward What the FUCK
Zachary Cook
the entire thing is outdated
Jeremiah Gray
It's only really the atk/def one that's actually wrong, right?
Alexander Cook
Did they change ATK/DEF? I've been out of the game for a while. Did they make them stronger?
John Lopez
I don't think so, but the FAQ says you can't reduce the number of shots to kill and I'm pretty sure you can for some weapons.
Landon Ramirez
you can increase the shots to kill with defense up, but you can't with damage up you can however get it to 99.9, so if they've touched even a drop of the enemy's ink, then they're dead
Owen Price
>fire up the wii u to check >the fuck is lost reavers
Anyway turns out what I was getting confused with is that you can get two *uncharged* shots with the splatterscope over 100 with two mains and six subs.
Jaxon Nguyen
good afternoon /ink/ how are we all today
Thomas Gutierrez
Enjoying a day off and waiting patiently for the RM rotation later on today.
Any tips for someone who just got the game? Anything that'll make me a better player as I go along in multiplayer? Abilities to look for, habits to get into, whatever?
Alexander Martinez
Go fast
Levi Murphy
Slipped and fell on the ice yesterday and landed straight on my tailbone, so I'm pretty sore. Thankfully I have no plans for today so I'll just stay inside all day.
How are you doing?
Andrew Price
gyros, recon is only for fashion, collect all scrolls from single player, Praise Octolings
Christopher Green
Gotta go fast?
Gabriel Hughes
It's imperative that you move at an accelerated pace
Levi White
Remember to keep laying down ink, having good team mobility makes a huge difference. Watch the squids at the top of the screen so you know when to be defensive and when to push, and remember that the objective is the priority even if it means letting an enemy go.
Nicholas Morgan
Play with the gyro controls. They may feel abit wonky at first but without a doubt they are the best way to play the game. You'll probably be better off playing the single campaign first to get use to the motion controls. As for multiplayer make sure to take advantage of the mobility offered by ink. If you can paint it you can travel on it. So going up walls, platforms etc. are all open to you. Like most shooters high ground gives you alot of control of the map. Also turf control is very important. You should always be looking for opportunities to get more of your team's ink on the map. You don't have to be pixel perfect but try to cover as much enemy ink as possible. Pay attention to your deathcam. Watch your opponent and see what he's doing and where he's going. It'll give you a clue as to what to do after you respawn. Abilities are hard to suggest without knowing what weapons you like to use but some good all around abilites are Ink Resistance (which you can only get on shoes), swim speed up, run speed up, ink saver main and ink recovery up. However you should play with alot of different weapons until you find a core that speaks to you and from there it'll be easier to fine tune abilities.
Caleb Diaz
When jumping to a beakon, it doesn't have the little icon showing you're jumping there. So if you're in midjump to it and someone is taking the beakon down, they won't know you're on your way to that position.
Personally, when I jump to a teammate and I don't have stealth jump on, I like to choose ones who are slightly out of the way/not right in the action. It's safer jumping there and spending a few seconds swimming than to jump into an area where there might be three of the enemy squids sitting there, waiting for you to land.
Matthew Taylor
>the objective is the priority even if it means letting an enemy go This is incredibly important. I lost a RM match the other day since three of my teammates were going after a single guy on the other team. This is something you would expect from sub-A rank players, but this was in S rank.
Also, when playing ranked, don't bother treating it like turf wars to fill up your special unless you're really close to filling it up. You'll fill it up fast enough just by focusing on the objective and backing your teammates up.
Jose Morris
I keep losing connection in Turf War games, I can play a minute at best before getting dropped back to the lobby. Is my internet just too shit? It works fine for Mario Kart.
Cameron Scott
some server bullshit for the sequel, at least from what ive heard
its been happening to me too. ive noticed that it gets really bad if youre the only western player
Luis Rogers
Assuming a guy was equally skilled with both weapons, which would you rather see him using on your team? The Heavy Splatling? Or the .96 Gal? I love both and I've never really decided on which I should focus on.
Jordan Clark
It depends on map/mode but in general the Heavy since walls are strong on nearly all maps and it's a better turfer then the .96 Gal.
Nathan Martinez
heavy splatling 2000%. with the right gear, the heavy splatling can hold a spot down and keep it down. the .96 just doesnt have the turfing capability that the heavy splatlings have. ive been A- rank and in lobbies with all S+ players, and have won games just because i played defensively with the heavy splatling. that being said, both weapons are primarily defensive, so i dont want to see some guy running up on a bunch of players with those guns

Lucas Perez
I absolutely surrender dropped from S 19 to A+ 44 because teammates wouldn't ride the tower, jump off just as we're bout to get the lead, not support people on the tower, ignore chargers completely and the worst of them all try and spawncamp on Moray
Owen Bell
I hope the single player has more secret dialogue like on the Saltspray Rig Octoling level when Marie says you are just standing around doing nothing.
Connor Johnson
Just crutch your way to S+ user. Use whatever is most broken and not what you enjoy playing with.
Chase Hill
I'm afraid I can't do that I played every meme weapon up until Sloshers came out and now there's no going back.
Gold Aerospray - check .52 gal Deco - check Tentatek - Check Luna on TC exclusively - check Luna Neo - check
Noah Robinson
Go on a break or just play some turfwar. It helps me avoid going on tilt

What's a good piece of headgear to run with Splattershots? I'm using the Red Hi-Tops and I'm going to try to get a Black Inky Rider, but if anyone has a suggestion for something to replace that with I'm open to it.
Jose Wright
For the Wasabi and Tentatek a Run Speed Up hat and for the Vanilla model a Damage Up hat for your burst bombs.
Daniel Gomez
Thanks user, guess I'll just stick with my Hero Replica Headgear.
Cameron Lee
Why didn't Ninty nerf Luna even once? They blew their last opportunity on giving Neo heavy depletion that it doesn't care about anyway because it's constantly trading. Luna and Carbon are the reason anything short-ranged is unusable, and while Carbon is nasty to go against but is pretty well-balanced by its myriad of downfalls, Luna and everything about it IS bullshit. It's a ridiculously low-skill weapon with terrain abuse levels only second to Sloshmo and way too fast of a fire rate for its indirect damage output. And a bomb that even such shitguns as Squiffer, Slosher and Sploosh only got with their picks- a bomb with a massive OHKO radius after they blasted you once, mind you, not just a zoning tool like Sploosh's. Can you armor yourself against it like you can do against Gals? Nope, two blasts is all you ever going to get, not only these suckers have a blast so massive that it hits 50 base damage rarely, every second one I've seen wears damage up to ensure 3-hit splat with its bomb rush and more common OHKOs on damaged enemies. Got a sneak onto them with a Carbon? Nope, you just got directed. It isn't even gear dependent like Rapid undeservedly is, you can run anything you want on it. It's not a runner so it would be pretty efficient even if it had huge ink consumption- which it doesn't; it's an okay-ish turfer, not a lot (still more than Carbon, though) but extremely safe; it technically loses accuracy when jumping but in practice it affects fuckall; and even its mobility is kinda okay, it doesn't root itself if you accidentally forget to jump like Range does. It can turn way too many situations to its advantage, and it's not as hard to use as Sloshmo or Dynamo or Grim or hell, even Slosher. And its blast just happens to be the same size as the tower's platform, how convenient! Of course this shotshow of a gun is going to be overused.
Christian Moore
You seem upset. In my experience both playing with and against it the fact that it's ranged options are so poor that a charger can shut them down pretty hard. Splattlings as well. I do agree that they're broken on TC though.
Jaxon Barnes

Which one are you by the way? I got two requests. If we get one more we can do quads.
