New sub weapon shown off on twitter

New sub weapon! It's called a Robot Bomb. Once deployed, it'll pursue a squid and explode when its within proximity of its target.

Can anyone defend this?

Judging from this screenshot, they either won't use much ink, or there'll be a special where you can spam them repeatedly. I can't wait to see how crazy that'll get.

twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/872019316551626752
Oh, and the Octobrush will be coming back in some form, just to annoy everyone.

Yes.

They use this much. Launching dozens of them from whatever the sub spam special is does sound hilarious though

So what happens if you throw one and there is no one inside the radios? Does it just disappear or does it sit their like a mine?

Boston Dynamikas

In some ways it's better than old seeker and in others it's worse. Overall not bad though.

...

cute!

I'd say it's more like a cross between seekers and inkmines.

they use as much ink as any other sub like showed
cant say its confirmed that there is a special because the screenchot can be explained by having a whole team with the same sub
it still would be crazy

Yup just comparing them on the basis of being homing subs. Makes me wonder what they'll do with the other subs if anything at all though.

In one of the first trailers, one inkling had a repeating t-shirt cannon thing, and was launching a shitload of splatbombs with it.

Rush is probably the only special that is going to return to 2 probably its going to be different with that tshirt cannon but in essence are going to be the same
just saying that the screenshot can be explained by other methods
I wouldnt mind a Robot Rush, very effective in close corner maps

I think it'll probably have longer range, given it's a launcher instead some child's arm, but I think there's not much else they could do to it to make it less like bomb rush.

the only other difference I could think of is that probably you are not going to be able to use your normal weapon until the special ends

Yes

Reminds me of Breath of the Wild.

Only with my rock hard penis

Kakariko village?

Now it really does look like fake wood. Perfect for my stories.

NOT AGAIN

Stop shitposting about the new direct and post to keep the thread alive you nignogs

I just want more lewd squids in my life.

>start watching splatoon livestreams in my spare time
>consider stopping since all the streams aren't enjoyable and full of ten year-olds
>eventually end up on a small japanese livestream
>streamer spends a good ten or so minutes showing me how i can play more effectively with my main and after i just talk about splatoon with the other people watching
You know, maybe streams aren't that bad, after all.

Seriously, what happened to all the lewds from when Splatoon 1 got announced? Can barely find anything of the new female mascot and she's way cuter.

live

e3 is soon, maybe they will come back then

also, when is Nintendo's presentation?

if I remember right
>2 damage up mains
>ninja squid
>2 shots everyone

I think this is the first time we've seen Salmon Run's UI and first footage of Humpback Pump Track

soon

month and a half until happiness is a thing.

since etrian odyssey 5 is not happening

Other generals are blowing up because of pre-e3 pre-shitposting.

sorry cannot use my repost timers to bump this thread anymore.

good luck

no soon enough! i want my squids now!

we need bumps

and squids

bump

squid

UHHHHH I guess splatoon 2 pro control confirmed for us? twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/872151406530134017
Other than that I have no info to bump.
don't die /ink/

this artist really is great though, I finally understand gayposters because of their stuff.

That's neat. I wonder what the two symbols next to the special meter represent. Maybe you only get use a limited about of specials in each wave?

Quick, post your favourite rotation for your favourite weapon to keep the thread alive.
Splattershot pro, rainmaker moray/depot

Carbon/Rainmaker in general.

Forge pro/trislosher, really like zones in general, Just really dislike Salt spray because I'm an autist.

>Berry Pro
>Splat Zones
>Museum D'Alphonsino
>Walleye Warehouse

Absofucking perfect

Slosher + Hammerhead Bridge and Kelp Dome, any mode. Taking out squits on the catwalks from below is great fun, they never expect it.

>reading splatoon doujins
>'ah yes, yuri ika, a classic'
>open doujin
>futanari
>close doujin

oh fuck, and there is going to be a bomb rush of this shit too?

RM triggerfish / dome, kelp splat charger.

The previous thread died? Sad, huh.

I really don't think the majority of Splatoon fans really see the game in a sexual fashion. When the first game was announced, few people cared that much except for the porn. Now, Splatoon has a more solid fanbase and most of those people just see it as a fun E for Everyone game and even Callie & Marie's fandoms overlap considerably with purity fags

Defend giving Marie large breasts? Not really, both squid sisters are flat as boards

I don't mind fan artists taking license with the designs, but when it comes to things like bust size, it's difficult to justify because that's often used to establish character archetypes. The reason Callie & Marie are flat is because we generally associate flatness with youth and thus innocence, qualities essential to any successful idol, which is why both Squid Sisters are canonically flat, to emphasize that aspect of their character

Bumping with whatever they meant by this.

Hank Hill gets shitfaced and plays Splatoon?

Can I just say that I love you again, /ink/? I like to say it. I love you, /ink/. No homo.

All the homo

>this entire general

i love you too

Got a link? Asking for a friend, of course.

I was going to get angry and tell you to go find it yourself, but I can't stay mad at a man who just wants his fix. For a friend.

kelp splatterscope/camp and mahi mahi

...

it'll probably be slowed like a squid would in enemy ink.

This, but with THIS instead.

/ink/ better not be this slow during E3.

I don't really care about the tourney but if there's some big new info then that would be nice.

I will post as often as I can during the splatoon tourney, really hyped to see it.
I'll also try to dump my squibs during e3 as well

watching the event to see tim play on the new maps

Lets be real, even if we're not as slow because of the tournament, we're probably still gonna be kicked back to page 10 by the other threads.

TELL ME WHO TIM IS
TELL ME

A meme. They're also pretty good at squid game.

looking for 3 people to squad with, I want to have a sturdy team and practice on wiiu before 2 comes out

What is this? A splat charger?

Yep.

>tfw no squid womby

Is it just me, or does spla2n just feel like it looks worse than the first game? It's probably because I haven't played it yet so I'm not used to it, but the way it looks still just feels wrong.

god the new weapons look so ugly when they don't have ink in their tanks
I honestly really like most of the design changes. the new aesthetic is really appealing to me overall.

I think the game overall looks just as good as the original, just a bit more refined/polished. The basic Splat weapons do look very plain though. The original Splattershot has screw holes, ridges, and plastic moulding seams, but the new one lacks detail and texture. It's boring. I hope those weapons are just unfinished.

H3D, Triggerfish-Arowana Rainmaker

i think it's the choise of primary colors.
Slpatoon 1 had Orange-Blue (nicely summer-ish)
Splatoon 2 has of course Magenta and Green
(both contrasting colours as well)
Which obviusly is a refrence to Callie and Marie
Though i must say it doesn't get me in that bright, springy mood Sploon 1 had. I guess it's because it feels darker.

Between the darker ink colors and the darker stage colors, Spla2n just doesn't look as inviting as Splatoon 1.

The environments in Splatoon 1 were a lot like blank canvases, basically begging to be painted on. However, Spla2n's environments are all much more detailed and complete, and thus, less open to be painted on, like a canvas with a smiley face on it.

The amount of detail put into each map really just makes the main mechanic of the game that tiny bit less fun.

Good night /ink/, I love you

Good night, user. Love you too.

i love you more
dream of the new bombs for me
