why does one of the boy hairstyles have no tentacles?? what does it mean lore wise?

You niggers don't care but please reassure me on how laughly bad Stiingray is. I mean I literally get free kills and free turf every time I see that sad laser.

Cant wait for the buff patch that lead it to kill a person in less than 15 hits.

Sex with Marie!

...

They equate to hair so much that it's not a big deal to cut them off

You can only reply to this post if you main the P90 and wear Annaki gear.

Want to buy Amiibo and want to buy Pro Controller but there's only Splatoon and Mario this year unless there's a surprise release so I can't justify spending over £300 on one game in the first couple months of my ownership

Can somebody hack the Switch already

>Time Bonus! 3 Minutes

what does this mean exactly?

You played a match that lasted at least 3 minutes.

i can't believe they somehow managed to make the inkbursh even worse than in the first game
might as well have given it string ray if they wanted it to be dead on arrival so bad

back to octobursh forever i guess

Why do I find Kimono Marie sexier than Idol outfit Marie

Because you're into moms

>get at least 20 kills per RM match
>still lose the past 5 matches because of multiple people getting 2 kills and taking the rainmaker some stupid direction
Someone tell me when it's safe to play ranked again.

>double melee salmon run
JUST

but turf war matches are always 3 minutes

>splat bomb/ink jet
>bad
I mean the brush was already a bad weapon but that kit makes it less bad

Git gud

...

thanks i was just looking for that image to post it to

Because less is more.

I have a request drawfriend! if you're still here

This goes out to all you preverts

I used to be the same way. Use the walls and obstacles around the map to charge and corner peak for targets

Worse than the kracken brush but its much better than the other two inkbrush variants from the first game. Splat bomb is the best possible sub it can have

All of the specials feel really nerfed.
That said, Ive been having fun with the bubble. I didn't expect anything but its kind of fun to use and often gets surprise KOs on people.

Shame it cant go up walls though.

Yeah, it's more for ranked matches that could run shorter.
Just accept the free points

This fucking salmon run difficulty spike is goddamn intense, holy shit

...

Reminder that Kimono are traditionally worn without any underwear.

The fuck is that skin tone

>Give us options to change bottom wear

AWESOME

>Don't let us change the colors

How the fuck am I supposed to be Fresh if I can't color coordinate my outfits? Did they even fucking let anyone who has ab eye for fashion design this shit? Holy fuck I'm so triggered. Brown is a good color but you can't fucking match it properly with a lot of the combos.

>forever in go-getter 50-70
Get me off this ride

Can someone explain why I have 0 chunks? I've been playing salmon run to professional and I've swapped shirts for chunks at least 20 times. Yet I have 0. What gives?

Which reminds me; are there currently any shirts that change color with your ink?

This pleases me greatly.

The polo does

Someone pls resond

I'm more concerned with those blocky toes and fingers. It'd be like sucking on a meat cube.

Isn't swap for chunks just 4000g?

>memebucket was amazing at first
>now i just think its shit not getting anyone killed

not sure what weapon i should pick

One day I'll get used to motion controls enough to actually play online.

All the joy of sucking cock while sucking on a toe

I-I thought I was getting that shirt's chunks. Why is that so misleading ;_;

Dualies/Splatershot
There's nothing they don't do better than every other weapon.

>One slot shirt

What the fuck, Annie?

Let me know when there are 4 slot gear.
Not getting the headphone since superjump time reduce is shit.

Bucket can slay but it's role is turfing much like rollers

It's a shame the multiplayer ink doesn't have the glitter in it like the single player ink

might make it too hard to see other players squid trails

>high tide
>2 steel heads
>gatling is dead
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>get demoted in SR

fuuuuuuck

>finish single player mode
>feel drained
>still level 1
>cant bring myself to turf

At least Inkbrush keeps dashing no matter the surface it's on

Wait, you can lose rank in Salmon Run? Fuck me.

Anyone hosting a Salmon Run room? High tide on this map with these weapons...

>average 1000 pts a game with Splattershot Jr
>average 650 with Dualies

What the fuck am I doing wrong? Any tips on how to use them better?

You haven't played the actual game since launch?

Shoot the ground senpai

Now THATS some bullying i can get behind.

all of two days ago?

I do, the Dualies don't cover enough ground fast enough.

yeah I just went down 50 points due to a time out

please someone. I'm tired of losing rank

you can tell they havent planned some of the single player levels for certain weapons. the reliance on bombs and inkjets to to grapple on to things is annoying after the 7th time running through the same level.

so now that they've dumped attack and defence ups what the fuck stat are best to stack?

Salmonid-Octarian Alliance when?

Discord says the link is expired?

So, what's the deal with Salmon Run? What's with the times it's showing? Is it a weekend only thing?

To be fair, I also got more engrossed in salmon run than in turf war, but I'm working on it.

I don't think you were awake, it does say cash.

>doesn't cost less to scrub less slots

why are urchins such fucking sea jews?

>Doesn't cost more to scrub more slots

Sweep left and right as you go. Also with dualies you are half painter half splatter. I get lots of points by ambushing people and painting over their area because of how fast they are.

>yfw you saw Grillers for the first time

"What the fuck is this? Grizz never told me abou--OH GOD THERE ARE SO MANY FUCK"

fuck off, murch. you ain't fooling anyone.

>glowfish level
>everyone splits up

not him but it says chucks sometimes
they actually add shit like the bouncing pads and ziplines to the octo shower fight if you do it with other weapons

It says swap for chunks when it has sub abilities.

So other than not having one, what is your excuse for using the Joycons over the pro controller?

>glowfish level
>every runs to the very edge of the map instead of sticking near the basket

Check the Guide.

Using right only to aim feels oh so right

I have no excuse. I just don't have one and I don't want to pay $70 for one.

Being able to freely move both of your arms is significantly more comfortable over long periods of time. For so long I have be forced to have both of my arms in a fixed position, but now I can lay down on my couch like a fucking slug without sacrificing any ability to play.

I play in handheld mode

But you spent $300 on this console and $60 for this game.

....okay....

yes, and i dont want to spend more

rate squids!

How do I used brush? Should I be mashing to cover large spaces and only holding to move quickly? I feel like I’m leaving too much uninked ground if I just draw lines constantly.

A quick question. I know that the Switch's screenshot album can have 1,000 pictures and you can add a micro SD card to raise that limit to 10,000.
What size card do you recommend getting? Since it'll only let you hold 10k pictures, obviously I don't want to spend money for extra space it won't use.

>the reviews for the Nintendo Online app on IOS

Did Nintendo not see this coming? No one wants to use your phone to voice chat.

>find the goldie
>everyone just stands around shooting the fodder enemies

These weapons are fucking awful for high tide

Don't pretend to be me, I can speak for myself thanks.

Yes, that is true, but I don't want to spend $70 on something I don't think I need.

left is color coded 9/10
right is alright 5/10

Use it to write insults to the enemy team, your only chance of contributing to your teams win is in demoralizing the enemy team.

>Teammates finds goldie
>They don't use "this way"

I can’t tell if you’re saying the brush sucks or I do.

so is thermal ink busted or nah

What weapon is that? I have a boner.

The extra space can be used for updates, digital games, and dlc though. I'd recommend 16GB at the minimum if its just for pictures, 64GB at the minimum if you know you'll buy a game or two. The switch internal storage will eventually be full of system updates and game updates.
