sorry for making the thread so early but i wanted to add the news and there's not much time until the actual festival so i had to make sure

Keep telling yourself that Calliefag

Sloshing Machine sucks.
It's an incomplete concept, and a broken weapon. Back when we knew it as the mystery 'BigBall_Launcher' it had 100 range; the same as the E-Litre. The Neo also had Sprinkler/Inkzooka instead of Point Sensor.
I feel like they had trouble balancing it, so they erred on the side of caution and toned it down a few too many notches with the intent to see how it goes and adjust/buff it in future at some point.
It needs more range. It's supposed to be an artillery mortar that shoots from afar, assists from the back, and reaches behind enemy cover. The thing has less than 4 lines of range. Right now it's just an awkward, gimmicky Slosher that has the sole niche of being good at hitting opponents that are far below you.
The Soda Slosher took away its kit's niches. There's no real reason to use it now until they buff it.
Ian Ortiz
i'm sorry. here is a picture of marie. i hope it is enough compensation.
Easton Scott
>not wanting to be the dragonballs by using the sloshing machine and never using your special for the shiny hair fuck off faggot go back to cawwadooty
Mason Ramirez
>sloshing machine doesn't function like pipe bomb launcher
all i want is a bouncing blaster desu
Elijah Powell
Having hot sweaty sex with Marie!
Noah White
Hot sweaty sex with Callie is better
Caleb Ramirez
I want to marry Callie
Gavin Green
Soda slosheR
Ian Adams
But does she want?
Easton Fisher
I would very much hope so
Brody Gomez
I want to have sex with Marie while Callie watches crying
Zachary Roberts
Why come Mariefags are never nice?
Juan Richardson
Because she never gets a say in the matter the poor thing.
Jayden Reyes
What an awful choice of OP image.
Hudson Sanchez
I would never want to marry her without both of our love and support
Jacob Hernandez
I would make slow sweet love to Marie while she is crying.
Elijah Hall
it's everyday with you, isn't it
Daniel Morris
It'll do
Tyler Torres
what's so bad about it?
Owen Long
You'd both be bachelors forever then.
I believe Marie's tear ducts dried up years ago. In fact the confide of her mind that allowed her to be able to feel sadness did as well.
Dominic Green
In Spla2n/SplatooNX would you like to have your inkling get a basic version of every weapon class (slosh,splat, roll, shoot and charge) in hero mode and when you launch multiplayer or should we stick to everybody learns on a solid shooter class weapon
Kayden Ortiz
so has anybody talked about this today? can't be bothered to search the thread is IAMUSORRY! proud?
Ethan Johnson
Time/Space traveling splatfest when?
Chase Carter
>You'd both be bachelors forever then. ???
Nolan Martinez
It's not bad, just... boring. There are a multitude of more appealing choices, Callie or no Callie. The titlecard of the thread should be at least fairly eye-catching. One of cuteanons pictures would've made a fitting fairwell.
Aiden Long
Kinda did that with Past and Future?
Lucas Cox
>fairwell
Justin Brooks
how do you guys screencap stuff like this?
Robert Cooper
Farewell stairwell, I'm tired as fuck.
Josiah Martin
you can get better ones with a capture card but we just take screen shots by visiting Miiverse/Veeky Forums on our Wii U
Christopher Watson

Or you could just not use the Sloshit Machine and not worry your dear little head about underdog weapons in my unbalanced Nintendo game.
Dominic Ramirez
>four tentacles my dick
Jack Hall
people said that about normal slosher and lookie here it got buffed. keep whining someone might be listening or you might not be alone
Evan Kelly
Disgusting
Aaron Stewart
Do you care if the Sloshing Machine is bad? Would anybody lose sleep if it was removed from the game entirely? I don't think it has fans to rally.
Charles Clark
please no
Camden King
>four tentacles My abject misunderstanding of how Inklings are supposed to work.
Isaac Roberts
people said slosher was good enough as it was yet it was still buffed exactly as I suggested it would by either a fire rate buff or ink efficiency
Levi Moore
But who cares about the Sloshing Machine?
Jaxon Scott
SORRY no longer bothers with non discord plebs
Easton Lee
it was deleted for a reason user
Easton Sanchez
How unimpressive.
Wyatt Peterson
He doesn't bother with them either, now that he streams he plays exclusively with his viewers
Adrian Reed
look who the meme is now
Joshua Nelson
Cup of piss or a Cup of jizz

Nathaniel Smith
I want to tease Callie about her obscure toilet fetish.
Grayson Stewart
What are you giving babies jizz for user
Chase Gomez
but callie has the gokkun fetish
Dominic Wood
breast milk
Landon Gonzalez
Literally the worst meme ever to form in this thread. It doesn't even make sense. I don't know, kill yourself.
Leo Barnes
i'd think that it'd do you some good to calm down
Logan Barnes
No, that's gross, don't be gross.
Julian Gutierrez
>cup of jizz >what every baby craves what's the number for cps
Benjamin Thompson
>breast milk >posts a hips and ass gif you're not very good at this, are you?
Isaac Green
It's just our resident Octoposter making a fool of himself.
Robert Baker
you got me I got midriff on the mind. Octo midriff
Anthony Parker
Octos pack shit tier midriffs.
Brayden Flores
maybe but they have bare midriffs
Ryan Martinez
Octoposters are so annoying, I wish they would just leave
Grayson Lopez
So it's nothing special if you see it all the time.
Jack Mitchell
Post yfw Splat2n SP-campaign will be about leading the counter attack
Nicholas Wilson
Always remember to egao
Isaiah Brooks
Octopus isn't all bad
James Lewis
>Octavio was just in charge of one category of the Octarian army >The real leader of the Octarians boasts a far grander and vaster and deadlier armada >In order to fight back, Agents 1 and 2 return to the front lines, and recruit you to enlist more Agents >Banzai horde mode where you and your friends fight together against waves of incoming Octarians
Justin Ward
it would be cool if sheldon helped in someway or if you could play as him. he would be like an engineer in tf2
Henry Stewart
Ironically Sheldon can't use the weapons he builds. No ink sac.
Aaron Clark
>lamest cop out plot for a sequel of all time please no
Xavier Walker
is that how squids get their ink in the game? i thought it was just magic
Mason Sanders
Because the story is already a masterfully crafted piece of literature, right? It just needs to be (and is going to be) a suitably cliche excuse plot, nothing more and nothing less.
Jace Hughes
They have an internal ink sac; you know, like a squid. The ink sac feeds to the ink tank which feeds to your weapon. You play as an ink sponge essentially.
Logan Perry
how did sheldons grandpappy fight in the war?
Logan Hughes
What would you suggest?
Xavier Cook
What is the 10/10 splatoon weapon
Hudson Parker
user, you should start to value the small things.
William James
I don't think he did any fighting himself. He probably just made weapons for the living bioweapons to use, same as his descendant does now.
Lincoln Morgan
K :----D
Adam Gonzalez
People always talk about a horde mode, but that honestly doesn't sound very fun in Splatoon's engine. Fighting 1 on 1 Octolings who hop all over the fucking place is awkward enough, now imagine trying to fight 10 at once. Blegh. The lorebuilding done by the Sunken Scrolls is neat, and the plot isn't too bad because there's little to no plot in the first place. "They stole your power supplies, now go get 'em back, champ." The idea that your enemy in the second game is just a bigger, badder version of your enemy in the first game has is not only a cop-out, but nonsensical as well. Nothing hints that there's anything "bigger and badder" beyond DJ Octavio.
Nathaniel Taylor
why was he in the field tho?
Adrian Brooks
Whichever one you think is 10/10.
Bentley Thompson
>The idea that your enemy in the second game is just a bigger, badder version of your enemy in the first game has is not only a cop-out, but nonsensical as well. Have you never played a Nintendo game before? That's the basis of all of their sequels that aren't even lazier and just use the same guy.
>Nothing hints that there's anything "bigger and badder" beyond DJ Octavio. Nothing hints that there isn't either.
Zachary Cooper
the thing i am grateful for is that nintendo will never take any of /ink/'s shit ideas seriously
David Bennett
...
Luis White
>now imagine trying to fight 10 at once With improved AI. And with friends. And not just Octolings, but the allsorts Octarians as well.
>Nothing hints that there's anything "bigger and badder" beyond DJ Octavio Doesn't need to be. Recycling the same villains and objectives as before would be a way bigger cop-out. You're supposed to do greater things in the sequel. And it wouldn't be just a bigger Octavio. It would be the Octopus King. The giant monster you can hear roaring out from the depths of the kettle networks.
You bring your Engi to the front. They're supposed to fix shit.
Adam Howard
Are you retarded?
John King
He could also have used ink-tanks provided by the inklings. Since one can fill a tank in less than 10 seconds without swimming in ink, it would make sense that they had own regiments for crabs, jellyfish and the like.
Cameron Sanchez
Except only a Squid can refill an ink tank because only they can turn into the ink itself. Would they waste time having Squids on the sidelines refilling tanks for the support races to use to shoot for ten seconds? Support races that can't even swim or hide or climb so they're practically fucked in combat?
Hunter Richardson
Russians sent in soldiers in teams of 2 people (where only one had a gun and/or only 5 bullets) in WWII. High casualties of course, but it's effective if you have the manpower or just need to get more time for the regular units to regroup.
Nicholas Clark
>Have you never played a Nintendo game before? That's the basis of all of their sequels that aren't even lazier and just use the same guy. Yes, but the difference is that those games don't try to build their own world. There is no Mario lore, unless you count something like Rosalina, but that didn't get recycled over and over again. Splatoon has the potential to do great things with the world it already has. It shouldn't be settled on being squandered just because "it's a Nintendo game". Lame is lame, Nintendo or not, and a sequel should try to expand, not regress. >With improved AI. And with friends. I suppose. Splatoon's gameplay just feels a little, well, flimsy to me. It's hard to describe, so it's really nothing objective, but I can't imagine mowing down enemies being very satisfying. That's why Splatoon's run n' gun campaign works so well, because it backs up the AI combat with a healthy dose of platforming. Well, they have a point. Nintendo can listen to their fanbase, but this small little corner of it doesn't have much of a voice.
Jace Adams
That... really doesn't relate to giving a Lobster a paint gun they can't even fire. Turf War is for Squids.
Dominic Hernandez
Yes spongebob was scum this splat fest Patrick is the real answere besides spongebob is piss yellow
Isaiah Jones
Stepping on Callie's foot!
Josiah Gomez
Expanding the lore into vaster armies to battle sounds like potential to me. Alternatively, fuck Octopus, give us Nautilus to fight.
Sebastian Cook
I'm talking about the war against the octarians, not Turf War in general.
