/ink/ - Splatoon General

The Luna looks cooler.

Luna has less range but shoots each kill faster, and because of the less range also explodes faster

The Luna Blaster has NO FUCKIN RANGE AT ALL, but it compensates with a faster firing rate. It's intended to jump in and fuck shit up with a higher risk of death, where as the Blaster can still do that, but with a longer range before the projectile pops. In turn, it has a lower rate of fire than the Luna.

New map August 26th

thank god

Finally
BUT BALANCE UPDATE WHEN

Yee

Am I understanding correctly that the splatfest shirt is an ability chunk goldmine?

How long until we get it?

I'm gonna guess around Splatfest. If at all.

Where does /ink/ think the Splat Zones will be? Or where the Tower will go? I noticed there's only one stage with a split Splat Zones at the moment.

>new map
>forge splattershot pro with bubble special
>new salmon run map

Yeah, it costs 2k gold to scrub instead of the usual 20k
So you can level it up in 1 or 2 games and scrub it right away

How'd you know that forge pro is next
I would be rejoiced

...

Check nintendos YouTube channel

show me the cutest inkling art you have got

So we get the new map on Saturday, new salmon run map on Wednesday for local and then later online, and forge splattershot with bubble next week

>relying on the redditshot pro

What video is this from?

Also, that thing's making me claustrophobic just looking at it, jesus. I guess it's not likely you'd be attacked from all the doors at the same time, but still, scary thinking about how badly a steel eel could fuck that up.

>can see where the high tide is going to eat up most of the space

>Salmonids coming from all sides

>More grates

This is going to be so bullshit and fun to play on at the same time

There's also a news ARMS character. maybe /ARMS/ will come back

...

>glowflies
>can't cheese it anymore by having entire team at the basket
Well fuck.

youtube.com/watch?v=MBQMfvJaXTI
You guys have seen the update video, right?

>being so shit at the game that you can't utilise a weapon that requires steady aim to its fullest degree

I can smell the sour grapes from miles away.

youtu.be/MBQMfvJaXTI
There's also an update this week, I'm betting on balance changes.

absolutely B A S E D
>update tomorrow
oh shit, I really hope we're getting some balance changes. They said on the JP twitter we'd get a balance update sometime in august, so I hope this is it

Why does she have Spring Man's hair next to her bed?

Redditbucket nerf imminent.

Reminds me of a classic fucked-on-all-sides kind of map.

Seems like you can still do that to some degree since they still have to go through the doors.

>Know a friend irl with the game
Gonna test the shit out of the map once it's released on Wednesday.

>mfw tomorrow is the only day of August I won't be at home for the whole day
hold me /ink/

So whats up with the giant food decorating the outside of each map?
Is it some kind of japanese thing like Octavio spinning the wasabi? or is it just cuz it looks cool

>All those fucking grates.

It won't. The threads died out from inactivity even on the day Max Brass was released. Truly the deadest of all dead games.

Which totally sucks because its mad fun in short bursts
Me and my friend got high the other day and just had a blast for about 20 minutes, although I cant understand why you'd wanna play for more than half an hour at a time

i have somebody on my friends list who has 90+ hours on it

I thought it would be the new Splatoon. Why would I buy a game with so little content day one?

Depends what kind of sub it has. Though I suppose anything is better than point sensor. Except maybe mines.

It's hard to stay afloat when all the lore and updates only get posted in Japanese, everyone else gets sloppy seconds.

>i have somebody on my friends list who has 90+ hours on it
Is this game so devoid of content that playing it for 90 hours seems like a lot?

>grate central

good god no

suction
and point sensor isn't that bad honestly

Guys, I really love Marie.

>steelheads block your doors and eels teleport behind you

Yes, no joke. If you live in Yurop you play ranked with literally 3 other guys and even party mode, the one mode that is actually alive in any way, gets boring fast.

but does marie love herself?

Its just super repetitive, like you're literally doing the same thing over and over the entire time. I cant figure out how anybody would want to sit down and play more than an hour of it at a time

Balance patch notes support.nintendo.co.jp/app/answers/detail/a_id/34680

New Salmon Run maps are kind of weird, in that if they're bad, then people just won't play on them. Since there's no map rotation at all, the only thing you can do is hit 1200p and just stop, if not sit on 0p entirely.

dew it, weebs

Hopefully when they add more they'll put in a rotation

>Reminds me of a classic fucked-on-all-sides kind of map.
Good thing that shit map isn't back and will never be back.

Blaster has smaller blast radius and is a bit more awkward because it has some space between it and the blast. Luna practically blasts its own feet and can effortlessly abuse any cover.

>no ink armor nerf
one
fucking
job
oh
my
god

You know most caed game guys have a term "Strictly superior", when one card does everything the other card does but better? Well, H3 is that to Splatterpro. .96 would be too, if its kit didn't fill a different niche, and DS has a couple shortcomings in comparison but compensates with vastly superior everything else.

>weapon buffs for Salmon Run
Thank fuck

Something's wrong with my computer, it's all showing as Japanese symbols.

You're welcome, faggots.

It hink the one big thing that ruins the game is that you can only aim your punches where your opponent currently is. It's essentially punch-out

I can't understand this, Google translated it so literally

>dynamo
>The distance which can give maximum damage to the opponent by swinging horizontally was extended by about 14%.
YESSSS

>no bucket or ink armor nerf
NOOOO

>Crutch bucket left untouched.

Feeling Marie's body heat coming off of her in the winter when you're just close enough!

>no bucket nerfs
I guess you scrubs have to get good :^)

honestly ink armor is the real offender

>Tomorrow's patch notes
support.nintendo.co.jp/app/answers/detail/a_id/34680

Japanese Splatoon twitter account says that there's another balance patch coming early september, which will balance more main weapons but also specials too.

Trislosher/Ink Armor might get nerfed then, we'll see.

General notes from what I can understand from google translate:

???
???
Clash Blaster: wider shots, less ink consumption
Fling ink reduction for rollers except dynamo.
Dynamo Roller has reduced damage dropoff
Charge time reduction across the board for snipers.
Increased movespeed for splatlings.
Splattershots (hero, tentatek, base) increased range, but higher charge requirement.
Ball special takes more hits from shooters.

SR weapons: basically just improvements for some weapons only in SR
Bucket, Blaster, Clash Blaster, Carbon Roller, Splat Roller

I don't use the tri-slosher I prefer the range on the normal slosher

fucking saved
I was ready to cry

>tfw no pics of Callie/Marie/Peral/Marina in their Inkling phase

>sploosh o matic increased walking speed while shooting by 11%
>luna blaster and normal blaster have a buff to do with 'shake blur' after jump (don't know what this means so used google translate)
>crash blaster blast range widened, ink consumption reduced by 20% per shot
>carbon roller swing ink consumption reduced by 25%
>normal rollers reduced swing ink consumption by 10%
>dynamo roller horizontal swing buffed by 14%, i think this widens the 1 shot zone
>all normal chargers and elitre reduced time for full charge
>goo tuber reduced time for full charge, and it shoots quicker after holding charge I think
>heavy splatling increased movement speed while charging by 20%, and speed while shooting by 3%
>normal dualies, 9% more range, special charge requirement up to 190 instead of 170
>enperry dualies, same thing as normal dualies but special charge up to 200
>baller reduced damage from shots by 40% (except for blasters)

there's some more too

>Fixed a problem that when the damage was received consecutively in a short time, the sound sound may not be played for the number of times it was damaged.
Based Splatoon devs

They really go out of their way to not adjust damage values at all.

It's almost impressive how much pussy footing they're doing with rollers and brushes.

>no tick rate increase
why

You Google translated it too, huh? Did you see the name of the Goo Tuber?

I'm always calling it the Soft Tubber now.

this is the definition of ironic

>Splattershots
Splat Dualies, not Splattershots.

regular sloshers are perfectly fine
trisloshers are the true filthy players

>Marina
>inkling phase

>Splattershots (hero, tentatek, base) increased range
Okay I guess the N-Zap can get fucked

Why wouldn't she have one?

I assume shake blur is blasters are now more accurate when jumping.

>miss it by a fucking minute
FUCK

Pretty sure it's the dualies that got buffed range, not regular shooter weapons

the jap name says soy tuber, not soft.

the rest is changes for weapons exclusive to salmon run, so I doubt you really care that much
>slosher does constant damage no matter the position (i think)
>blasters and rollers buffed all round
these are salmon run only

Thanks, fucko, here's hoping I actually get one.

Well the regular slosher is not likely to get nerfed since it's balanced and no one complains about it
Tri needs a little tweaking, maybe keep its range but lower rate of fire? Something like 10~15% decrease would be fine
Again, ink armor is the real issue in this game right now. It breaks everything.

Enjoy waiting in line at 6am in the cold morning for a chance to get one, maybe. At least you can play Splatoon 2 in the Shoal with some shitters there that failed just like you.

If we decrease fire rate, Luna shits all over Tri. You want S1 Luna infestation again?

Searching the link in Google and translating the page gave me Soft Tubber. I don't have doubts about your info, but what I got is what I got.

Is the Luna infesting S2 now? I barely see any nowadays.
