> News - The next NA/EU Splatfest is Mayonnaise vs Ketchup, to be held in the first weekend of August. - Splatoon 2 needs 3.1 GB of space to install - The first Switch My Nintendo rewards are Splatoon 2 equipment (Japan exclusive so far) includes: Splatoon 2 FA-11 Custom Gear (Switch) Splatoon 2 Ika V Collaboration Gear (Switch) - New Splatoon 2 Switch accessories have been announced. Products include green and pink joy-cons, a Splatoon 2 themed pro controller, and a console bundle (Switch + Splatoon 2 download key). - Rotations are now every 2 hours instead of 4. - New amiibo announced as well being inkling girl, boy and squid. They can save your current loadout and transfer it to another console, they also include exclusive gear! -The Inkbrush is out now!
Could someone crash course the current meta/meme weapons and loadouts for this game? I don't have nearly the same amount of time to dedicate to Splat2 that I did to the original so I'd like to skip the hands on trial and error this time around.

Which weapon type is the biggest crutch in Splatoon 2, /ink/?
So remember when we only knew the japanese names of the squid sisters solos, and some anons translated Marie's as "Night of Seaweed"? Turns out that's not actually right. Sumiso is a sauce made from miso and vinegar, and the "ae" part means the other ingredents are chilled and dressed just before serving. Seaweed can be served this way, but a more notable food traditionally served with sumiso is Firefly Squid. You know, what Marie is.

So, N-zap '85 Y/N?

What was the gameplan here?
Angel Lee
Which hero weapons are worth working for (as in, aren't horribly outclassed by current or upcoming custom sets)?
James Powell
octobrush is the turboscrub weapon
Jeremiah Green
Y. It's almost a better splat jr
Carter Carter
What does crutch mean exactly?
Jaxon Perry
exactly what it implies
Jack Cook
>someone unironically picked shooters
Hmmm...
Dominic Hall
The one you like the most
Eli Diaz
You're gonna feel like a big, big man with the aerospray until level 10.
You're bad at inkjet, everyone else is good with it. They can one hit you for real, you can't one hit dummies. It's the only thing that lets me take a fucking moment to see someone to aim at them and kill them. Otherwise it's just walls and angles God damn. How do people play FPS's?
Jonathan Sanders
They have the exact same stats and loadout as the stock version of that weapon type. They're just reskins so if you like any of the stock weapons and think they look cool go for it.
Jacob Hernandez
I'm not exactly sure how to interpret that
Anthony Smith
Hero Shot is pretty good. Splashdown is useful as a panic button or ambushing. I use the balloons for extra damage or picking off enemies. Also, it looks like a fucking P90. I'd say Dualies as well, but that depends.
William Edwards
Why am I doing well in ranked but not in regular turf war? There's a whole bunch of insanely good faggots all of a sudden.
Bentley Turner
What category is the aerospray? I'm leaning allllll the way on it.
Ayden Price
>pastebin.com/raw/eMbBai0b Is there an up-to-date version of this link from the OP? It still says Squidforce has a tendency to give the damage up ability, but that's removed in Splatoon 2. I'm wanting to know what Squidforce does now.
Kayden Robinson
It would be under shooters
Parker Scott
NINTY WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PLAYABLE OCTOLING armor? I want to put it on my spaghetti now that they don't wear the full bodysuit, only spats.
Brandon Jackson
Turf War still matches you with people near your level, right? While you were away in Ranked, your level increased, so back in turf war you're fighting better players than you had before.
Jonathan Morales
Aiming with a controller requires adjustments by moving yourself. So like with a mouse you'd just click on thing but with a controller you might want to move to the left instead of aiming to the left to fine tune.
Aiden Miller
Yeah, but some weapons have meh stock versions and much better custom versions (splatling gets fucking splash wall, so does charger)
Asher Phillips
Honestly, what were your thoughts when you saw the first splatoon trailer years ago? Did you really think you would be playing this shit right now? youtube.com/watch?v=8L54s2m1dPs
Lincoln Perry
>no Salmon Run for 21 hours
Brody Cruz
Yes
Benjamin Rivera
...
Hunter Lee
No, E3 was what convinced me.
Benjamin Morales
I thought it looked really cool, was excited to see a new and interesting IP from Nintendo. And the squids were cute. I remember the wave of fan art that cropped up IMMEDIATELY.
Brayden Baker
how do I get the other amiibo armor? I have the headgear but I can't figure out how you're supposed to get the rest
Tyler Miller
Oooh, you naive little squib. Once more weapons are released, people git gud and meta invariably shifts towards long-range assault rather than close-combat dogfights, those two would be the staple of anti-meta- Firefin is baisically Bento that was created solely to be an anti-sniper, and vanilla Heavy would be the bastion of stability, smacking down any and all aggression and, again, fucking up snipers by splatlinging right in front of their face with no way for them to retaliate.
Sebastian Flores
I wanted it the entire time I didn't have it. Even when I bought a switch I just wanted a WiiU for Splatoon. I thought it was such a great take on the boring dead ass fucking FPS genre. That was when Killzone was a thing and when CoD did sequels for all of their spinoffs.
Kayden Reyes
>next salmon run is 4 different splattershots
Christian Flores
So why do rollers kill in 1 hit if they bump into you sometimes and other times they do nothing?
Ryder Lopez
I think anyone who doesn't ink for more than 15 seconds should get a warning, 30- get booted.
Samuel Johnson
It's a DC which has basically fuck all penalty. I might as well start doing it any time some faggot has a blaster on my team.
Wyatt Flores
They're either out of ink or they're using the Carbon Roller which doesn't ohko.
Carson Reed
Make disconnects count as triple losses.
This is coming from someone who was actually having unstable internet for 2 days.
Robert Butler
Just keep playing online. I'm not sure of the details, but after using them again after about a day of playing online, they just gave me the rest of the sets (all 3 original amiibos). No challenges required.
Kayden Hall
I think it should straight up bar you from joining another match for 10-15 minutes then doubles every time it happens in a 48 hour period.
Mason Wright
guess which weapon
Oliver Torres
>Play Turf War, use Blaster >Two minutes in, see a superjump marker >Camp it out, ready to get the one-hit >Squid lands, I take the shot >The squid isn't dead >It had INK ARMOR >I died instead
I've made a tragic mistake. With any luck, I won't make any worse than that.
Jacob Cruz
crutchbrush?
William Gutierrez
Charger was god tier for those steelheads but hopefully fewer people will die with the upcoming lineup.
Carter Myers
You're the one faggot here that's actually good with a roller and not just a turf war cunt. Alternatively, slosher.
Eli Evans
Just a random guess, but I have good reason to believe it's the Octobrush.
Ryder Peterson
Just keep playing and scan again in 24 hours. They gave me the other 2 pieces the next day
Ian Perry
Stop using blaster
Liam Ward
wow what an amazing story
this has never been heard of in all of splatoon's history
Angel Wright
>See a superjump marker >charger >take aim >yourmotherfuckinglifeends30minutesfromnow >take the shot >I timed it wrong and miss
Grayson Powell
Dear Splatoon 2. Please make ZR the button that fires the curling bombs in the special. Thank you. I have no idea why you decided to make it R so your big flashy "BOMBS AWAY!" makes my brain go, "Hit buttons you fucking loser!" and I don't know what's going on anymore. Also it's awesome that when it's over I throw a grenade that takes 3/4 of my ink when I just got done throwing a dozen grenades. I love it. I love everything about this.
Parker Walker
>being too dumb for a children's game
Brody Moore
>playing Rainmaker >get splatted and check map as I respawn >30 second left >see the rainmaker is getting really close to our side >go to splat the fucker with it >he's not taking any damage >realize this fucker is on my team and he has no idea what he's doing
>playing Rainmaker on Musselforge Fitness >take out the entire enemy team >I get the rainmaker >decide to take it around the right side >say This Way >no one follows me >okay, maybe they're just taking the top path since we did clear everyone out >take out five enemies without being able to advance much >spamming This Way >enemy finally splats me >team never showed up >look at map >they're all just fucking around in the middle >enemy team brings rainmaker to our side >I'm trying to hold them back >the rest of my team just keeps going to the middle
Get me out of this C rank hell. I went from C- to B- for Tower Control and Splat Zones, but I keep getting paired up with morons like these in Rainmaker.
Elijah Rogers
>A player in splat zone and tower control >lose constantly in rain maker
Why
Adam Collins
so your solution is to make both buttons into a throw bomb button so you can't even defend yourself with your main weapon in a pinch brilliant
Oliver Gomez
Squidforce has Ink Res.
Owen Ramirez
no
yes
Jose Robinson
>shadman
Isaac Brown
>aerospray on my team in turf war >less inked than the charger
Nathaniel Barnes
Agreed. It's gay.
Jace James
wow this sounds a lot like me
the worst is the retards that ink the map instead of going for the rainmaker
Liam Nelson
Are squiddos niggos?
Jonathan Reed
Rain Maker is just balls, let's be honest.
Julian Jones
user. Defend yourself. With the Aerospray? Just let me hurl bombs.
Benjamin Hernandez
Just play octobrush and let your scrubs handle the rainmaker People in C and B ranks will just rush to where the rainmaker holder is, just hide in ink in waiting and catch them off guard
Ian Diaz
>A in rainmaker and almost A in splatzones >lose constantly in tower control I think I should stop playing charger to get out of the tower control trench
Jason Torres
No, you don't understand. That's the problem. The ALTERNATE versions get splash wall; the default versions get sprinkler on the splatling and (admittedly useful) splat bombs on the charger, along with sting ray which I've been decent with so far but will get harder to use as players get less stupid about it.
Nolan Morales
>tfw girl I like said she would watch me stream Splatoon 2 if I gave her $10. We're all gonna make it.
Cooper Anderson
>play ranked >two Aerosrays and a Dualie on your team >enemy team has someone with an E-liter >they know how to use it >also, their roller is a laggy fucker who splats you with their swing after you clearly dodged it and splatted them
Mason Wood
So ninja squid will be a great ability on the splat brella, right? It's a close range weapon with solid walkspeed while firing, and ninja squid lets you fake people out with the umbrella (as well as generally sneak up on people to two shot them).
Chargers are great in tower control. Just learn the ways.
Owen Brooks
just hire a prostitute off backpages and have her watch you play it while she licks your asshole
at least then you get more bang for your buck
Nicholas Wood
>if you gave her $10 are you out of your gourd? How is that worth it?
Mason Gomez
At very least you can ink your feet and run away in a pinch.
Evan Baker
post best girl
Robert Collins
at least town control forces dumbasses to play the objective more
if your team just wants to ink and splat on rainmaker then there is no incentive for them to go for the rainmaker
Benjamin James
...
Asher Ward
Yes, but it can't single-handedly carry scrub games like rollers/brushes can
Justin Parker
...
Cooper Reyes
When she sees my stream I'm going to be funny so she'll want to see me more.
Brayden Wright
Neither of those are best or girls.
Daniel Price
link it here desu
Evan Lee
wrong answer infidels
Aiden Rivera
If someone disconnects early in the match the game should go back to lobby and the person who disconnected should be publicly raped.
Asher Price
>the game should go back to the lobby >not being able to carry a 3v4 because the other team plays hyperaggressive
you have got to go back
Parker Miller
Post you doing it
Eli Smith
Reminder that lewding the squidgirls is DEGENERACY and should NEVER EVER happen!
