I can still see it

reposting my observations of Scroll 17 since the last thread died maybe an hour or so after posting it
"When smoke rises from the seven rings, the pinkfish will emerge from the sea, devouring all the creatures of the land" - The Book of Madai, 10:10
Madai is one of the grandsons of Noah in the book of Genesis, and is also the japanese name for the Pagrus Major
10:10 of the Book of Madai references the seven seals of Revelations
Chapter 10 of Genesis describes the nations formed by the descendants of Noah after the Great Flood
Verse 10 is a listing of various nations
Both Inkling and Octarian society have fallen to the sin of Vanity and the worship of false gods with the consumerist centric culture of inklings, and octarians soon to follow once they become part of inkling society and the results of splatfests being the determinant of legal decisions
The time draws near for a second End of Days to purge the descendants of Man who have fallen into the same hedonistic lifestyle
All the events in S1 and S2 are in preparation for the coming Third Flood
The First Seal has already been broken in the form of the salmonids

who /unable to play ranked because they are from Yurop/ here

Is aeroshitter best for grinding on regular?

...

...

shhhhh

no, nzap is

Where can I get the splatoon 2 pro controller in Canada?

>orange hair
>green and blue paint
???

Rate, trying to get better looking shoes. the black sock school shoes were better imo.

nah, aeroshitter is best. if you start getting raped you can go to another part of the map and start spraying

Is pro controller good for the game?

Just finished the final boss.
who else intentionally died to watch Callie dance on the big screen?

>tfw Spicy Calamari Inkantation starts playing

spoilers tags exist for a reason user...

Very much so, it's also one of the comfiest controllers out there

Someone forgot to remove the Alpha Channel.

Sex with Marie!

whoa

..so what's gonna happen for the games?

can it use motion controls?

Separated Joycons are comfier, easier to aim with, and less fatiguing.

yes

yep

Only one more weapon for SP, and I saved the Roller for last. Here goes nothing.

Yes, it has a built in Gyro. Note the official one does. The hori does not

You're off your rocker, using the seperated joycons gives me hand cramps

Should I be buying every weapon or can you only hold so many in your inventory or whatever?

...

no idea, but I'm hoping it isn't something that is just forgotten in future installments, anyone have the original japanese text for scroll 17 and can translate it? I'm curious about how much the NA localization of the scroll matches up with the japanese version. considering the image I saw in the video with the scrolls, probably fairly closely

Nah no inventory is limited. Just that you can't have dupe clothing.

Do you really think they'd limit inventory space for weapons?

son of a fuck i laughed

that's fucking cold

>tim's discord squad got 6th
>thatso gets 2nd
How the mighty have fallen.

>being spoiled by Splatoon 1 content
You fucking deserved it.

Some people say it's strickly regional, some people say it's some funky stuff about matching you with people with equallly good connections. I can tell you from my games that the game tries to match you with people close to you since most of my players over the day were people from teams from europe.

Heavy splatling is bullshit.

Oh.

Ha yeah no one would do that!

It's ping-based.

Man salmon run gives a ton of money from bonuses. A premade non-shitter group could just rack up infinite wealth on the highest difficulty.

I foresee a bonus nerf in the near future.

...

...

is that ice cream or cake

I actually have pretty large hands and find the joycons small and mildly uncomfortable to use, but I cannot aim well at all with a pro controller, while aiming with the joycons is easier than using a fucking mouse for me. Hand cramps will happen no matter what setup you use if you play 12 hours a day, and if you happen to use a Slosher or a Brush then good fucking luck.

Ive always hated being forced to have my arms in a fixed position and having to move both of them around like im pretending to drive in a racing game, or maybe it has something to do with never playing the original with the gamepad.

Anyone have plum casuals and are kind enough to let me order them? I'm getting desperate

...

...

D-delete this...

Id hold off on buying weapons unless you really want to use them just because the money is better spent on splatnet right now.

...

It's squid

are you a cannibal

Hey anyone else here willing to lie that they win "all of their matches"? Please reply if so :)

I win all my matches. It's just that the rest of my team loses theirs.

post some fun things you've seen in inkopolis square

>my first 10+ splat game
Feels nice.

>50 points behind getting shitstomped the entire match
>make the comeback in overtime
>realize in the results screen it was 3 vs 4 since our aerospray disconnected a minute in.

I bet they felt like shit

Even when I lose, I win because I don't lose the lesson.

mfw you can go back to single player hub and the 1.5x tickets respawn infinitely

Dont get cooked

Salmon run, anyone?

if only there was a way to get infinite double tickets

When I went back to it it was transparent and only gave eggs. Maybe it's time based?

they still count even if they're transparent

Splatnet never has anything good...

I would but I'm minimum rank and nobody wants that.

>stuck in Profreshional forever
Why is Salmon Run so bullshit? Insane mode on Horde solo pistol only in Gears is easier than this.

it had a ninja squid krak-on shirt that was actually really good.

>Never played splatoon 1
>Have no idea what I'm doing

But blogging aside, really, does anyone have any tips on how to actually git gud?

Hot violent Sex with Marie at gunpoint illuminated only by her bioluminesence!
Apparently.

Reminder that you can farm crusty sean tickets at these locations;
>Near entrance to 2-6 a box has a 1.5 XP ticket
>Near entrance to 5-27 a box has 1.5 gold ticket

Just exit to the plaza again and re-enter and they'll be back, it shows them grayed out but you still get them if you speak to sean

>swim speed sleeveless jersey
IT'S MINE

I report everyone on my team that disconnects

Profreshional is the top rank you tool.

stop using roller and start using Nzap

Can you have the gold and xp effect running at the same time?

And? Nintendo ain't gonna give a shit. A slap on the wrist at best.

In ranked, think about what would be a common action for the opposing team to do.

Most players make a straight line to the objective, so it helps your team tremendously if go a roundabout way on the map to throw the opposing team off guard.

Anyone else buy the bondage gear required to voice chat? How is it?

>play tower control
>use Octobrush
>spam the "r" button
>wins 9 in a row

This is the new baby weapon isn't it?

SO I'M GOOD, PA??

nope
just 1 at time

anyone else having insane connection issues at night? i was fine all day today and i've gotten disconnected from 3 SR games and one Turf War all in a row.

>finally getting the hang of movement and shooting to play effectively
>pick up the Dualies
>actually start winning
>having a fucking blast for the first time since I started
>Consistent connection errors start happening, can't play a single game

The foil wrapper on a pop tart is better at collecting signal than the Switch, already had to move it across my room to connect to the internet at all.

It's fucking ridiculously good in tower control, I fucking brute forced my way to b- with it so I can finally get in league
speaking of ranked, does your rank degrade if you haven't played? I know in the last game it did if you're at S/A or some shit but if I can just plant my ass on b- so I can play on league that would be pretty nice

Is there a website for the splatoon 2 splatnet or do I have to use the app? Also is the app emulatable?


>T. Phone cheapskate

>is the app emulatable
ANDROID

>Apparently.

Is League battle exclusively with your Friends?

Is there no way to look at your friend's data like there was in splatnet 1?

I'm seriously considering dropping the Splatter Pro, because the sensor grenade is so fucking worthless

Why is SR so hard
