Heavy Splatling appreciation post!
>raiders is only a week away nowfuck i don't think i'm ready bros
>>743460840I have to go to Walmart to see if I can get a physical copy on release day. I am scared, man.
Woomy
This is a war criminal.
>>743463226
>Splatoon threads are dead on /v/And so close to Splatoon Raiders too, damn.
>>743465480Sorry, anon. I was big on it with 1, and most of 2. I barely touched 3, and didn't even bother with its DLC.
My Yebby Engineer Can't Be This Cute
>>743465480There have been daily threads. Everything we've seen has been thoroughly talked about, and people aren’t biting on niche gameplay speculative discussion. We thankfully don’t have enough autists to perpetually argue some triviality for bumps. Threads will be active next week and very much so on release. A lull now is completely fine. Forcing threads without discussion material just diminishes enthusiasm for future threads
Just downloaded Raiders and can't touch it until next week.So in the meantime, I'll post some big fuckin squidy titties.
Cannot wait for my sexcation with Shiver and Frye.
RP8D-4DDQ-D2TT-LGFG
>>743466617paizuri from a short big titty woomy or veemo could fix me
>>743467719You dont need giant squid tits to live
>>743467794oh but i do
>>743467805Drink deep of the water of life.
>>743467794Agreed, I just need Shiver's flat chest.
Guys, I worried the game will try and make me feel bad about killing Salmonids.
>>743468980It's literally what they want. There is no greater honor than falling in battle.
>>743469247I know, but I don't Nintendo to try some shenanigans like "we have to set our differences aside and be friends."They're Salmonids! I want to destroy them and steal their stuff to sell on the illegal Salmonid treasure market!
>>743469745They won't, Splatoon needs an evil faction since the Octolings are now integrated into Inkling society.
Mini guns in any game are my favorite. If they don't have that than LMGs. Go big or go home.
>>743470404I just realized Sony and Microsoft would never sign off on a game's story being that we steal treasure from a different culture and sell it on the black market in 2026.I love this series, man. It's the best.
>>743468980Why is that a concern? Where would that even come from?
so how soon til spoilers start happening and i avoid these threads
>>743471618I'd say 2-3 days, depends if stores start breaking street date.I wonder if people will try and datamine it?
>>743471808If they get a copy, probably. I imagine it uses much of the same infrastructure as Splatoon 3 and that was mined extensively.
>>743471618midnight NZ time as soon the date rolls over is the soonest it will be available digitallyif someone snags a physical copy from their job it could be sooner>>743471808>I wonder if people will try and datamine it?can't datamine switch 2 games dumbass they're encrypted and the console isn't hacked
>>743471998Don’t be rude to the dumbass!
>>743468980It looks like it's gonna be the kind of game you keep playing after the "ending" and Salmon Run is definitely here to stay in future Splatoon games. We will never apologize to the pinkfish
>>743460459Hydra is my favorite of the splatling class. The power trip when letting off a full charge is unmatched. I even like it in salmon run, it's very rewarding once you know how much to charge for each boss.
>>743472552I've been trying out the Custom Hydra more often in Tower Control.
>>743472423Bad news in Splatoon 4 Salmon Run will be replaced with Jelleton Run instead.
>>743468980Would be a complete fumble if they did that.Salmonid lore being what it is is amazing, an incredible decision on their part, and if they tried to backtrack any of it I'd hate them forever.
i wonder if ill get addicted to something in raiders like how i was with salmon run or it just becomes a one and done game
>>743472552mini splat is better
we want a kpop inspired ost
I loved the hug victory animation in spatoon 1
But WHY did you bring a Charger into Rainmaker?
Spatlings kick ass, wish I was any good with them.>>743472552Adorable veemo!
does raider come out this week?
>>743480161Next week, the 23rd.
>>743481001oh okay I thought it was this week
Woomy.
>>743483019Yebby.
why so ded
>>743479484gn sis
>>743460459>missed the super totally last thi time splatfest
In today's strip Big Man fucking dies!
>>743488472BIRDS!!
Sex with frye
>>743488472>The denizens of Inkopolis and Splatsville have to worry about being abducted by birds on a recurring basis.We're getting so much lore this game.
I'm glad they're releasing a single player game, never touched a splatoon before
>>743491217I'm surprised that seagulls aren't a greater threat to life.
>>743491435Early Inkling civilization must have sucked. Before Guns, you had to spend every day hoping Birds or Salmonids didn't crash into your home for an easy lunch.
>>743492856
Have you ever hand carved a tree to make a salmon?
>>743493693forgot to include pic
>>743475146There's gotta be some post game content. Hopefully a long randomized dungeon or something like that.
LESS than a week until Raiders!
>>743495005the direct teased a ruins that was "seemingly bottomless" so i think they listened to people clamoring for an endless mode from SO
>>743499365Maybe im a doomfag but I always heard that as "wow there's 30 floors is it bottomless???" But i'd love to eat shit and proven wrong
been a long time since ive used that weapon
>>743500438if it isn't bottomless it could be a pit of 100 trials dealor maybe 50 trials
>>743467794I am literally dying right now because I don't have access to fat squishy ink sacs.
>>743467794but it sure would help
Did /v/ finally come around on Deep Cut?
>>743504489/vg/ always was one step ahead
>>743504489i was always a fan
>>743497825I can't waitI really hope the game has tons of content
the frye cutscene has been found
>>743508330>Press A to Grab Your Destiny.
>>743508330Leak?
>>743493889I love the running joke of squids being terrible at anthropology.
>>743511893no, new japanese pamphlet
>>743504930>New Agent 3's Smallfry is a Boss in Raiders.
>>743460459>Raiders is a week awayI hope I'm able to afford it after pay day next week
>>743513354>the extreme final mega hard boss is new inner agent 3 who just throws smallfry at you to instakill you
>>743502334Why can't this artist just draw Frye's gorgeous naked body already
>>743514765>he doesn't knowpixiv135040370
>>743514967>once almost a year agoInsufficient. And while he's at it, draw more Marina and especially more cute, sexy veemos.
>>743513008Oh, anything else in it?
>>743516026not really
Charger Users are bad people and I do not care for them.
>>743463226Marina is a war criminal actually.>used to be a Takozon>invented Flooders which are unkillable death machines The things her hands have created have probably killed thousands.
>>743518265takozonesu are hot and cute tho
>>743519986They're killers.
>>743518265>>743519986Marina has studied camera footage of her creations killing Captain 3 and Agent 4 countless times.
>>743520127and that's OK
>>743466125she cute
>>743520127We're all killers.
>>743524247Turf WarTurf War Never Changes.
>>743521713why she so cute now
>>743528468you never paid attention
>>743528458How many Test Subjects has she murdered to impress DJ Octavio!?
>>743521713>>743528468>>743528537
Frye sex. That's it, that's the post.
this game is for pedophiles
>>743530287Ok, and?
>>743528468now?
>>743530287>suddenly
>>743530287>toenailsdrawn by secondary filth
>>743528537I thought Frye was gonna be another ugly gremlin, but she grew on me
Mechanic-chan...
>>743530621Nothing more need be said. Thats the statement.
This game is for k-pop fans.
Yebby
>>743534475good yeb
>>743501781I want this
>>7434658653 droped the ball hard with the specials and weapon kits>>743465480Only Splatoon 1 and Splatoon 2 deserve love.The only thing 3 did right was Salmon Run.Raider is only single player which i feel it will sell well enough on its own, but it wont generate the type of threads Splatoon does unless the game has some online coop.I didnt here anything about Raiders having online coop, so thats a bit of a drag for Splatoon fans
>>743537038>t. Non-fan
>>743537038Splatoon Raiders does have online co-op. It works like Monster Hunter's SOS Flares. You send out a signal if you want help with a specific Stage or you can answer said signal to help someone else.There is a cool-down timer, apparently, so you aren't really supposed to play the entire game with Friends.
>>743537038Also, Splatoon 3 did add in a bunch of important Quality of Life features, like how it's so much easier to change Abilities on Clothing.
>>743537330>>743537293Sweet nice to know it does have online coop at least, but it feels like it should have been more Salmon Run style coop.Although Salmon Run style coop may have made Raiders to Splatoonish instead of Raiders being its own thing which is what it seems they are trying to do
>>743537330Normal co-op with friend codes also exists.
>>743537394>t's so much easier to change Abilities on Clothing.That was a great addition except they made it RNG roll based with the ability machine which made it a huge time sink to get the abilities you want on all your gear.Not to mention how much a reroll cost and how little money you get
>>743537480It is Salmon Run style coop, you can make a pool room for every single mission in the game to play with your friends.
I really don't feel like buying a Switch 2 JUST for Splatoon Raiders, but none of the other Switch 2 games capture my interest at the moment
>>743537038>3 specials dropped the ballCompletely retarded. They’re a VAST improvement over 2’s utter garbage
>>743537920I bit the bullet and bought a Switch 2 for Raiders, but also because there's the price increase later this year.Game consoles aren't going down in price, so at the amount, waiting may continue to be detrimental.Hopefully Nintendo releases more games that are worth the money sooner rather than later.
>>743537920Do you have other Nintendo franchises you enjoy? The console will only increase in price for the foreseeable future, so may as well get it, if you enjoy their mainstay franchises
>>743538101I do miss Bubble Blower.>>743537576I just used the Ability Chunks from all that Salmon Run I played.
>>743538213Bubble blower was fun. Nice to kind of have it back with Bombloons
>>743538146>>743538212Looking through my library- my most played games were Smash, Splatoon, and Tetris99. Everything else was either just a 'surprise' (Astral Chain, Taiko no Tatsujin, Animal Crossing at the time) or an indie game that I got for cheap that I definitely already own on Steam and can now play on a Steam Deck these days.But I've been reaching extreme FOMO levels and I'm just waiting for more evidence that this game has decent replayability before I really start to consider pulling the trigger
>>743539291That's fair, I can't fault anyone really for being cautious and wanting more information before investing that kinda money.Unfortunately, this place will be full of spoilers for awhile after the game drops.
How do people play this game without going insaneThe insane loss streaks this game sends me on are diabolicalI know I'm a very-low-xpower shitter but its just not fun to go on an endless losing streak spiralMaybe I should take a break but I feel like all that will do is make me rusty I want to get better so I can enjoy the game more but it just isn't happening and I feel a little at wits end
>>743539496You could always just murder salmons instead.
>>743539496You could always rank reset
>>743539496I hang out in S-Rank and even then, it's really important for your mental health to accept that sometimes whatever Stages are open are just working against you.Do not beat your head against a wall, it will not help.
>>743539291In that case, wait for reviews and find one that seems reputable enough to extract the info you need about endgame and shit
>>743539741I did that last season. All it does is put you against other rankresetters/smurfs in that rank in Series and it has no effect at all in Open I don't really want to reset from S+4 all the way to B for no gain (tho it goes to show I don't deserve to be in s+4 when it offers b as the reset)
>>743539496it's just a game
>>743537920>didn't get a Switch 2 for BananzaBro
>>743539874So, this is what happens when Harmony sucks your dick.
>>743539874I guess, I just don't know how to not attach my feelings of self worth (or at least a feeling of progression) to it
Nintendo never did elaborate on what older Amiibo would unlock in Splatoon Raiders.
>>743540310They all unlock the Splatoon 2 Grizzco outfit minus the hat.
>>743540038it takes 800 to 1000 hours to be decent at best at this gamefrom there you need to learn from your losses
>>743540331Oh, neat, but the Splatoon 3 suit is better.Does this mean our Mechanic is an old Salmon Run vet?
>>743540643I mean they can fly a helicopter, there's a non-zero chance they were one of Grizzcos previously unseen pilots.
>>743540791>"Turns out in my work contract, GrizzCo would train me to repair and operate a Helicopter and I could keep it and the hanger if and only if Mr. Grizz ended up in space.">"But that's never gonna happen."
>>743540643Disagree, gloopsuit for life. Though I wish it had a different name, honestly. Just the waders or something, it's referred to as something like that in Raiders.
Making salmon room at rotation
>>743537920Well, the real deal Splatoon 4 will be on the thing.
>>743541936name??
>>743542275Fangfox
>>743542516ok
kek
And here I thought I'd be late.
I finally learned how to do that strafing thingy. Not that it's difficult, but didn't bother to look it up.
>>743543517>I finally learned how to do that strafing thingythe what?
>>743530287Big fan of woomyfeet
>glizzy dualies game 1aw yeah
>>743543547Is it called substrafing? Moving around and quickly moving between swimming and not swimming.>>743543740GIMME
>>743543748yeah I don't know what you're talking about
they were handing out grizzco weapons every wave there
>>743537576This shit annoys me. Maybe because I only usually play online when other people want to play, but I don't want to sit there and reroll abilities. Especially when everyone else already has theirs stacked how they want.Just fucking give me x amount of points and let me allot them to each ability how I want. Make it tied to ability chunks or however the fuck to tie it into the game world. I don't fucking care.
>>743543929Well alright then.>>743543953And yet I got aerospray...
>>743543929sub-strafing lets you change directions faster when swimming
Crikey, that was close.
>>743544235If you're gud you can squid roll from the top of a fish stick by substrafing
>>743544121>>743544235
>>743463226All octos are.
>>743466617Inklings actually don't have breasts that big.
I'll stop here ggs guys I'll make another room tomorrow night
GGs guys.
>>743460459I don't play Splatoon anymore but I used to tear shit up with the splatling back in the day. Good times.
ggss WE love boat
>>743465480I almost feel like Nintendo has painted the series into a corner honestly. Slotting it in as solely the "Nintendo multiplayer shooter series" has kinda put it into a box where people don't seem to give a shit if it isn't just that anymore.
>>743545316>WE love boateh it's okay better than spawning grounds that's for sure
Game just loved giving out chargers there, that was crazy. Just how many times did we get double snipewriter? Still went way better than I figured, just wish I could've gotten grizz dualies or roller. Maybe next time. Good games.
>just got Wahoo World titleWait, you're telling me I didn't have this the entire time? I should be surprised, but I'm not.>>743545343>better than spawning grounds that's for sureYou is loco in the cabeza.
>>743545496no u
>>743460459My main! I love dominating Tower Control with it.
>>743504489I like them more than Off the Hook, but they'll never beat the Squid Sisters.
>>743545549
>>743545879I will admit that I'm starting to not hate spawning grounds as much as I used to
>>743540370>690 hoursRunning Out Of Time...desu from looking at inksight I've seen people at much, much higher player level than me that are much lower MMR though so idk
>>743545650Shiver is sex but I still can't really think about liking Deep Cut over the other two.>>743546003I'm still not sure what the deal is about it, probably just a personal thing. It ain't my favorite by any stretch, but I enjoy how open it is despite the potential for bullshit from various sides.
>>743546330I think it's the fact that the salmonids come from every direction and fuck the team up in a short amount of time that makes me hate it and when you're freelancers it's gets really bad really fast
>>743546492>and when you're freelancers it's gets really bad really fastFrankly, that can go for any of the stages. I've seen Sockeye and Bonerattle go to hell in very short order. Spawning grounds at least allows me some breathing room to get things fixed. Unless we're talking high tide.
>>743547737True but it gets really bad in spawning grounds
I'm in that weird spot where I feel like I shouldn't be playing Splatoon so I don't get burnout playing Splatoon, but I don't really want to play something else because I'll have to put it down to play more Splatoon.
>>743548468I olay pvp so I keep thinking "Holy shit the pvp is so shit I can't wait to play raiders" and it's working
>>743465480/v/ is just dead in general. I think it hit a new record low 2 days ago.
I'm looking forward to it. Unironically, the best thing about Splatoon is the single player content. I went back to 3 for the Splatfest before it happened, picked a team, did two matches, and promptly ejected the cartridge. I keep forgetting why I don't bother with these shitty games after awhile, it's all autists left behind and if you're playing alone, it just becomes a coin flip of "am I on team retard or am I on team autism"The only good thing about it is Salmon Run, so having a whole game being about what appears to be a perfected Salmon Run you can do alone or with some friends is pretty much all I want. The added bonus of it being a cheaper game without being ~70 minutes long is just the cherry on top.
>>743550471Which was....
>>743551084low
>>743471998If Switch 2 games can't be datamined, couldn't we create an old-school hoax about the Squid Sisters being unlockable Bot Buddies? You couldn't verify if it was true that easily.
>>743550745>I keep forgetting why I don't bother with these shitty games after awhile, it's all autists left behind and if you're playing alone, it just becomes a coin flip of "am I on team retard or am I on team autism"You sound like that same fag i chewed out a week ago crying about how he cant win against the try hards.Illl tell you again FAG:Get good or go play call of duty.You are the type of loser who just wants to be team carried instead of putting in some work
Looting Salmonid relics is very cool and in-fact ethical. The (((Jellies)))) will tell you otherwise, but you must not believe them.
>>743556446But people on social media told me treasure-hunting is bad!
>>743556814Man am I glad Raiders doesn't have miiverse posts.
>>743556814It's the Vorcha all over again.
Pay your respects to those who will be executed by Flyfish in Splatoon Raiders.
>>743557623>Arrogant little bastards are so fat now, they can't fit inside the standard Flyfish canopy.Who's laughing now, Fish!?
>only 5 days of waiting leftfuck bros i'm so excited
Played 3 for the first time in like a year, was planning on playing it all night but I forgot how the motion control aiming was and got filtered
Frye shibari
>>743560438So, the Mechanic knows how to build Sex Machines and is familiar with BDSM.This new lore is exquisite.
>>743560587Art of Mechanic tying Shiver and Frye to the Sex machine doohickey as Salmonid bait when
from edit-anon in previous thread
>>743561495please change the first two panels to the splatfont to satisfy my autismor vice versa
>>743561495but what if they had fat boobs instead
>>743562253No, this is a Mechanic is a Yebby board.
Do people even play splatoon games here, or do they just jerk off to the squid kids?
>played splatoon 3 for like 50-ish hours on release, maybe 10 or 20 more in the beta>boot it up again to get my feet wet for raiders, don't remember anything about it>last match was in 2022>do basics and not basics tutorial for salmon run>seems easy enough>queue up>team wipe in less than 1 minutesurely there are other fotmfags like me that I can play with right
>>743562318what no i meant frye and shiver
>>743564538At this point even most shitter Salmon Run players have gotten high enough EVP in one gold rotation or another they're at least starting every shift at EVP200. Anyone still populating EVP below that or even ranks below that is gonna be REALLY fucking bad.
>>743504489Always liked them. Well, Fry mainly.Squid Sisters are the best.Splat2 idols are outright disgusting to me.
>>743564538>>743564792The average Freelancer also struggles a lot on Splatoon 2 Stages like Marooner's Bay.
>>743565162Side Order changed my opinion on Off the Hook a lot because I finished it liking Pearl much more than Marina.Pearl was helping me score kills while Marina would never shut up about Pearl.
>>743565531Cute Pearl
Why is it just 90% recycled 3 assets?
Splatoon Raiders will beat GTA6 this year.
>>743567183It's repurposed Splatoon 3 DLC. We know cause a few of the new Salmonids were datamined in it years ago. It was probably planned to be the second half of Splatoon 3's DLC pass but when that got fucked by Covid delays they just pivoted to making the first half be Inkopolis Plaza.Well, at least it looks like they've significantly expanded it from whatever their initial Splatoon 3 plans were so that's one thing going for it I guess.
I only have splatoon 2, do people still play that one?
>>743567183are you retarded? genuine question.
>>743567476ranked is dead but you can still find turf war matches
Cod, please let this be good.
>>743504489Yeah, but hopefully next time I'll come on Frye's forehead, or at least get Shiver on the tummy.
But wait, who found out about the return of the islands to print it in the papers?I suspect someone intentionally did it to lure in treasure hunters!
>>743568527I mean, apparently they popped up after seismic activity, so it's not going to be hard to notice them.Inkfish have planes and helicopters and shit, so it could've been some random squigga who happened to spot them
>>743569220That makes sense, but Salmonids are there and their usual territory is a no-go zone. WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?Probably nothing, but I need to kill time while I'm stuck at work.
I'm so excited to jazz around fucking these fishfags up while my upgraded turret goes pop-pop-pop.
>>743569862That never stopped Grizzco, and while sure some of that could have been due to lobbying I think whatever world government exists in Splatoon is too toothless to actually enforce the don't go into Salmonid territory laws.Which mean is to be expected given they literally take orders from an old fax machine that is printing out old internet arguments that are bouncing back from 6000 light years away.
>>743568527Lil' Judd psyop to agitate Salmonid and continue Grizzco for ??? reasons
>>743565531Marina does kind of owe a life-debt to Pearl.
I ordered a physical copy. I was late in doing it. Was unsure of maybe I'd get a digital copy. I've gotten physical copies of all the other Splatoon games though and I've never liked digital copies of games conceptually. I kind of really don't like swapping game cards on the Switch systems though. I kind of wish they had multiple game card slots or something and could hold several games at the same time. When you've got games that are great fun to play a little bit of every day, it becomes a real hassle if you have to swap the game cartridges every several times in succession. But I ordered a physical copy. And now I just fear that I might not be able to play the game on the launch day if my copy arrives late...
Goddamnit, see you squiggers in 5 days
>>743573449I live, breathe and die for squnny.
>>743574275
>>743573449Fuuuuuuuuuuck, but I come here for the Splatoon Raiders comics!
>>743574498im the anon that posts them... how will i keep posting them without getting spoiled now.......
>>743556012Whether you're good or not is irrelevant if you're playing alone in any team based game. It's still a coin flip on whether you get autists who chose this as their hyperfixation, turning it into a lifestyle choice instead of a hobby originally intended for children, or just normal people who came back to it between their job, other video games they like, or other hobbies.I know this may be hard for the average autist (you) to understand, but not everyone plays just one game. Or one type of game. Or does just one thing. Most other people have other things to do and can't just collect their autism neetbux or whatever the fuck you people do to get away with spending 10+ hours a day just grinding one shitty game your whole life. Some people just wanna come back to an old game they played sometimes and not have to deal with some 35+ year old sperg with 4000+ hours in a paintball game made for children.
>>743574680Here's how:1: Find the Splatoon thread.2. Don't look at anything in the thread.3. Post comic.4. Leave.This relies on the OP not being a bag of dicks and spoiling in the OP though so it's still risky.
>>743574680For what it's worth, thanks for posting them.
>>743567345Test data doesn’t mean dlc, stupid
>>743574728>wahh, the people who enjoy the kids game are keeping me from enjoying the kids gameWhiny manchild!
>>743576427>missing the point entirelyI'd expect nothing less from this place.
>>743573449>dont want spoiled>this piece of shit won’t be ruining threadsIt’s a tough call
>>743576554You can write as many paragraphs as you want, but it’s just bitching that the population of a game years after release are the people most dedicated to it. No shit, retard. Skill floors raise. No need to cry
pls don't spoil

>>743539496Stick to turf war until you get your fundies down. Know weapon roles, DO the role your wreapon is used for, know when its time to jump out, look at the UI for your and the enemy team's specials. Stop shitting up other people's grind through X. I swear there's 90% retarded people infesting the ranked modes.
>>743579578Also, check the overhead map often.People don't and miss hidden Squid Beakons all the time.
>>743579369This better be reverse searchable
>>7435792780. I don't play the games.
>>743579857it's what happens if you play the game too much, you end up getting s+ even if you don't really deserve itwith the way x power works (having minimum losses even if your opponents were way stronger than you) if you are one of the worst x players then you will just freefallim doing a little better this season though, i got 1697 for a bit on rm. though that was probably a fluke because my sz has fallen to 1288 again so maybe it's time to give up on this game
I don't have negative points in Ranked and that's good enough for me.
SEX WITH SALMONIDS IS SEABREEZE-SCENTED AND BEAUTIFUL
Remember how someone broke into your Locker, messed up everything, and ate all your snacks?Salmonids did it.
>>743580774My locker is already messed up. I just threw all my big run trophies in there with no rhyme or reason.
>>743580774I thought it was Frye. I left those snacks out for her.
Can't wait
There's a Salmonid Queen somewhere on these islands and I want to shoot her.I want to shoot the Salmonid Queen in the face.
>>743581753Shit, I can't make jokes like that anymore because now people will think it's a spoiler.Stupid street date breaking bullshit.
>>743579369
>>743562318>woomy eyebrows>boobs>sport bralol?
>>743562985yes!
>>743583348Mechanic in the comic actually has veemo eyebrows, but is clearly not an octo so...Those are pecs btwBoth the male and female characters have the same default outfit with the undershirt, it's not a sports bra.You may continue to seethe and cope, however.
Besides a salmon focused game, what other splatoon spin-offs could they do?
>>743585442Squid Beatz Deluxe
>>743584634Is it a crime of an inkling to ink their splat zone ?!
>>7435370382 was the worst game.
>>743586140the only good thing about 2 was the introduction of salmon run and the story mode
>>743585442I want a Splatoon Cooking Spinoff.
>>743585442Dating sim
>>7435370382 is the worst game in the series by a country mile, i wish you would stop with this revisionism
>>743573449I'll dip when I see start seeing some actual images posted
>>743587440Which game had the Octo Expansion and isn't stuck on the Wii U?
>>743587596octo expansion sucked
>>743587835Inner Agent 3 got Anon's ass
>>743587596>one good dlc excuses that the base game was complete dogshitit doesn't
>>743588136I got it and it's still shit
>>743585435pecs don't look like boobs and cephs don't have pecs, shitposter-kun.
>>743588824maybe thats where they store their ink
>>743587596Octo Expansion's biggest issue is quite literally that you need the base Splatoon 2 game to play it, and at this point the singleplayer modes are the only reasons to play 2 since everyone that didn't drop the game moved on to the better sequel.
>>743471129There's a small effort on the part of perpetually offended twitter kids to get the game canceled for promotion themes of colonialism and ethnic violence. So, the usual.
>>743543678Feet suck its all about inner-asshole crease
>>743579578PLAY THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE. Do not go on side quests on irrelevant parts of the fucking map. Be within an arm's reach of a teammate. STOP PLAYING LIKE IT'S TEAM DEATHMATCH.
>>743588824And the mechanic is never shown with boobs, retard.And cephs also don't walk around on two legs and have hands, shitposter-chan.
>>743585442Splatoon rhythm game where you play as an up and coming group.
Never played a splatoon before, I'm reading that motion controls are the go-to way to play. I don't know whether my 3rd party controller will work well with that. Are there any demos for other games that use the same kind of motion controls and could work as a test? If I do need a new controller, I'd like to order the replacement early enough so I'll get here in time for launch.
>>743594897>Never played a splatoon before, I'm reading that motion controls are the go-to way to play.yes although stick is serviceableprobably better to just start out with gyro though because making the switch is hard
>>743593845>lalala i can't hear you lalalala
>>743595158Those are flat fucking pecs dude, like I said earlier.Notice how no other panel from the comic features any kind of booba curves? Notice how that isn't actually curved the way tits are?You're retarded.I know you want it to be a girl really bad, yuritroon, but it's not.
>"Ok, so we're on Mincemeat and it's Splat Zones. You know what to do right?>"Absolutely">"Ok, cool. What are you bringing in?">"Tentatek Splattershot">".........You got this, right?>He did not have this.
>>743595305and here i thought you were ironically shitposting, no you're just completely retarded.
>>743595446I accept your concession.
>>743595679show me a single splatoon model or art with a chest like this and it being a boy>it's pecs because i said so!not only are they way, way too big compared to the rest of the body to be pecs, there's no "pecs" in inklings and octoling models as the male models and artworks are all flat. cease your retardation.
>>743579369I just hit over 2000 X Power in Rainmaker today, it's my squad's favorite mode. X Battle can be pretty hit or miss, but the last week it has been very active.
>Catalog is at 60I wonder if I can make it to 100 before Raiders comes out?
Boy or girl, the most important thing is that the mechanic is canonically cute.>>743585442Not enough a spin-off, but maybe as a small alt-mode for the next full game?Imagine a 1v1 tic-tac-toe style game, but you have to ink the majority of the squares for them to count for you. You spawn at the center of opposite sides. And there's an enemy or something in the center that has to be cleared before the square can be taken, but defeating it inks a large portion of that square.Probably a rubbish idea that would be annoying to balance to different weapon types. Perhaps Connect 4 would be better?
>>743596172in today's gender neutral landscape, the only way to figure out wooms from yebs are eyebrowswe will take mechanic's render eyebrows and compare them to the ingame options when the game launches
>>743595774Brother you know for a fact that nearly every piece of art of female inkfish has them just as flat as the males, stop being disingenuous. Woomies and Veemos that actually have pronounced breasts have very large breasts, and you know this.You demand that I demonstrate something you know is impossible, maintaining that the panel of the Mechanic shows them as having boobs that are >way, way too big compared to the rest of the bodywhen these tits of yours have never once appeared in any other panel throughout the comic, literally only showing up when the Mechanic has their body twisted in a way the tightens his shirt and emphasizes his pecs in the exact same way such a thing happens in real life.Show me these tits anywhere in the comic.>I demanded proof of your claim firstImpossible proof, which I have now also demanded of you.
I'm just saying, there's nothing wrong with taking an Inkbrush or a Roller or whatever, but I need you to understand. The Enemy Team has guns and will shoot you, I need to ask if you know how not to get shot?Also, to the Pain Brush on the other Team. Dude, I have a Heavy Edit Splatling. Maybe get closer before you start swinging.
>>743596635You just gotta bob 'n weave.
Brinewater makes me sad.
>>743599921Most splatoon 3 maps make me sad.
So what builds are we starting out with?
>>743600253In Raiders? Speed Tank with the first weapon the game gives me that I like.
>>743600253(me)>>743600436Speed looks like the bested one, but I really want to try out Tactical. Auto Pearl builds were pretty satisfying.
>>743600253Right out the gate, it's going to be Splattershot and Power until I start unlocking more stuff, specifically the Heavy Splatling and the Heavy Edit Splatling, which I will switch to that and the Tactics Tank.I do have other Build Ideas, but I want to make progress first before I start investing in that.
>>743600253probably build around whatever speed gadgets we can get at the start and whichever early weapons I jell with the most
Playing Splatling made me understand why people love playing Heavy in Team Fortress 2.Playing Splatling also made me realize why most people never want to play Heavy in Team Fortress 2.
making salmon room at rotation
>>743601506Is it a new one already?
>4 Days LeftYay.
>>743602037there will be a new one in 4 hours but I'm still going to make a room so I can get joe kills
>>743602642I mean 3 hours
>>743602642>>743602683Oh right.
>>743460459>2 day threadWhy is splatoon so unpopular on 4chan?
...eh, what the hell. Probably only two kings or so.
>>743540032don't talk about my retarded girlfriend like that
>kill buncha flyfish with my jet>almost all immediately respawn and with stingersFuck you.
>finally got a grizz weapon>literally the worst one for glowfliesOn the bright side, BANANDIUM!
What a wretched weapon this bottle is.
>>743604930we got gold?
>>743604942yeah it's fucking garbage
...goddammit. And why I finally got my painbrush.>>743604950Yup.
>>743604942>>743605080I actually have quite a bit of fondness for its utility in this mode. Being able to snipe from a reasonable distance is quite useful a lot of the time. But perhaps not with these weapons...
Aw come on, I could've gotten that last big shot.
thank god I didn't sacrifice myself like I planned to do
What the actual fuck.
See, this is why boat sucks ass.
>>743605916still better than spawning grounds
>>743605930Entirely wrong, this shit is absolute fucking garbage.
god I hate the squeezer or whatever the fuck that shit weapon is called>>743606114It would be much worse in spawning grounds
>>743606128Absolutely not, the reason this is so freaking terrible is specifically because boat. I'd rather have spawning grounds at this rate.
>>743606326it's not bad we're just having shit luck
>>743605778His Fish egg addiction is getting out of control. Soon he is going to become as bad as Mr. Grizz
ggs guys I'm done with this rotation If you guys want me to make a salmon room for the rotation that's coming up let me know
That...was entirely fucking miserable for the second half. Christ. Not too bad for first joe, but everything afterwards was pure bollocks. But if you got kills, I got big shots, and we got gold, still worth it, I suppose. Which reminds me, I gotta got the cap's hat already.>>743606419>it's not bad we're just having shit luckit's shit luck and a bad map, both can be true.
>>743606687>it's shit luck and a bad map, both can be true.nah bay is fine
>>743606741We just had a solid hour of evidence that indicates otherwise.
>>743606815it wasn't the maps fault that we there were flyfish constantly spawning
>>743606869Even so, on most of the other maps it wouldn't be such a huge pain in the ass to get to said flyfish and/or stingers reliably. Even moreso on high tide.
>>743607067>on most of the other maps it wouldn't be such a huge pain in the ass to get to said flyfish and/or stingers reliably. Even moreso on high tide.true except for spawning grounds
>>743607104
>>743607383did you finally realize I was trolling?
>>743607508Trolling, you say? Never heard of it.
I guess no one wants me to make a room...
>>743607882I can join you guys, but it's gonna take me about 5-10 minutes. Better play a game first.
imma just do 1 king, bankin on gold!
>>743607946k
>>743607972I'll be here once you finish. Only doing a king, though, that boat bash was brutal.
>>743545169Cephs actually do, it's just that ours drain their ink extremely regularly so they stay end up staying small.
>>743608036get ready
Alright, let's get this done. Getting a tad tired. Hey, there's another name I haven't seen in forever.
Oh gorgeous hydra, never leave me. After that debacle, I don't ever wanna let you go...

fun rotation ggs
fun quickie and GOLD get
>>743608918>>743608948Good team, good stage, mostly good weapons, good gold. Top shelf performance all around, I was even happy to see clash blaster's ass. Do you know how bad it has to be for me to want clash in salmon run? Even got a double gold capsule, well on my way to that juice parka. Thanks for having me. That'll be enough fish for a few days.
>>743609031>That'll be enough fish for a few dayswill be joining my room later tonight right?

>>743609934Glooga DualiesRapid Blaster Flingza RollerSquifferNo, that doesn't sound fun at all.
>>743610215I'm mean the flingza is shit but the rest are good
>>743609934>>743610215That sounds good as fuck. Rapid blaster's the weak bit there but still ain't bad.
gn sis
Man, Urchin Underpass is a great Stage. Were all the Splatoon 1 like this and can Nintendo please bring those Stage designers back?
>>743612614Probably gone by now.
is raiders going to kill salmon run, I only started playing it a couple weeks ago ;_;
Anyone else building up ink to release for Raiders?
can I buy these octos and squids @ my local fishmarket? asking for a friend
>>743618710i'm gonna miss these comics
>>743618858Check every day, sometimes they slip in by accident
will raiders get updates? they're calling it "singleplayer-focused" and between that and it being 50 dollars it sounds like they want to bounce from it as fast as they can. from the previews I can't imagine the endgame being anything but endless spelunking with a group of friends or randos.
>>743622167i think they would've talked about a roadmap if there were plans for updates.i wouldn't rule out there being dlc later on though.probably the first splatoon game to launch fully finished.
>>743622167i wouldn't count on any, maybe a dlc if it does very wellthe base games get updates because they release half finished, the live service game way
>>743594897To answer my own question, fortnite has motion controls and is a free download (a metroid demo supposedly does too), so I was able to use that to test of my controller supports motion controls. And it does! They feel terrible! Wow do I hope raiders supports mouse controls. Seems very unlikely though, feels like they'd have announced it if that was a thing. A shame.
Bump.
4 Days Left!
>want to get it physical>absolute earliest I can get it is at gamestop at noon day ofholy fuck this is lame
>>743629786I have to do the same, but my Gamestop closed down. I have to try and hope Walmart has a physical copy and actually bothered to put it on display.
>>743629479Yeah.
>>743618710Guys, you can't leave him there. He'll get grabbed by birds again.
>>743629786I will also be getting my copy about halfway through the day.
>>743629786Yeah, sadly the norm these days for games that aren't big enough for a midnight release.Gamestops often open around nine or ten. And many don't really start paying their employees to work until right before / right at opening. Add that to how stores often don't get release shipments until the day before or sometimes the day of, and yeah, noon sounds about right.I ordered mine to arrive in the mail sometime on thursday, but I work that day, so I wouldn't be able to play until seven or so in the evening anyway.
Bump
We'll be able to bond with all three partners right? No need to pick?
>>743636794Most likely, yeah.
My woomy x horny salmonids
I need to not forget to sign up for Duskbloods the day before Raiders.
>>743636794Certainly, especially since it adds something else to grind.
>>743638743I'm not asking a lot from Team Past for Splatoon 4, but please, let us have this.
never playedpreordered raiders
Heavy splatlings fucking suck besides the nautilus.
>>743639741I never understood the appeal of the Nautilus over other Splatlings like the Heavy and Heavy Edit.
>>743636794>artist nuked all their shitCoward
>>743639485same
played all 3preordered raiders
>>743640520Why? Whining about AI?
I want to put my flesh tentacle between Frye's choco milkers while Marina's choco octo milkers smother my face.Woomy.
I have yet to fuck with Salmon Run and I'd hate to bring everyone down
>>743641697Don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. Funny thing is last I checked, the twitter account is still up but simply private. Maybe they ran off to bluesky or one of jp-only art sites.
>>743642226If it makes you feel better, most Salmon Run players are not particularly great at it, even in the top rank of Egg VP.
>>743642707>most Salmon Run players are not particularly great at it, even in the top rank of Egg VP.no not true actually yes it's very true
Every once in a while you get someone trying to flick a Roller at a Glowfly Wave and you realize, "Wow, so I'm not the worst at Salmon Run."
>>743645705It takes a special kind of retard to do bad with a roller on glowflies. Either that or a literal 6 year old, in which case you start wondering what they're doing on EVP to begin with.
I genuinely thought that I had already paid for the game when I preordered, and when I got a notification for a $50 charge like 3 days ago, I genuinely thought someone had stolen my payment info, and had to go back and check to see that there was no chargeback when I preordered
>>743539496take a break and disconnect. Remember to not take it seriously, though that doesn't mean "don't try"; that's a thin line you will have to discover on your own. Remember that you bough the game to have fun, the game cannot own you if you don't allow it to. Do the fun stuff and say fuck the rest. I used to care way too much about my performances in Splatfests, now I'm returning after like a 4 month break and I don't give a fuck about so much, yet I still get 8-2 or 11-3 games often. Yeah it's turf and casual, so? I'm having fun.
>>743585442>upgrade your gear>is in base outfit
Do you ever feel bad about trying out Weapons in Open Ranked? Because I want to, but man, I have screwed up royally trying something different.
>>743650000Quads of guilt, not bad.
>>743641620Frye does not care about the feelings of Salmon
>>743650000No. I use goo tuber and H-3 in ranked and dont feel an ounce of guilt.
>>743641620That's unironically kind of funny though. Even if it's in regards to salmon treasures.
Sex
>>743651476She eats them, like the walking sashimi platters they are.
>>743585442a tactics spinoff feels like a no brainer. Could make it x-com with current assets, but I'd prefer top down with a new artstyle
IT'S SO SOON
>>743653420kensa shot.............
>All those Players that got carried into Salmon Run's Egg VP will now have to survive Splatoon Raiders (mostly) on their own.Ha ha.
>>743657051There's easy mode
>>743657051This is why they added the help feature. Probably. Also worth noting the defanged a lot of the boss salmonids.
>>743657051g!!....
dude im NOT buying a switch 2 for ONE game
>>743657637It'll be at least 100 dollars more expensive by the time it has two games you want.
>>743657802It really is sad just how true this statement is.
>>743657802many consoles go for cheap in craigslist before school starts
OK, but......why should we give the money to Splatsville? Sure, it's in massive debt, but everyone knows Inkopolis is where all the cool kids live and we'll probably be in a different city all together in Splatoon 4.Let's keep the money, we can buy so much Fresh Clothing with it!
>>743657578you know me so well
Buff Sprinkler, please.
>>743658865Replace it with the Shot Pot
>>743537038>3 droped the ball hard with the specialswhat the fuck
Salty Pearl
Surprised no attention whore has leaked anything yet
>>743659704I would not be surprised if we find someone being controlled by Salt in Raiders.Splatoon fucking loves Mind Control.
>>743659940It's definitely going to happen here sooner than later.
>>743659704The end result of Splatfest salt over exposure.
>>743659940There have been phots of the game box in the wild, it's only a matter of time really. Things will start to move more quickly tomorrow with it being the first business day of the week.
>>743658865I have a stupid idea: make it cost more ink, but you can have 2 sprinklers out at once.
>>743660146Is this.....the last night we'll be able to stay here?
>>743660407Statistically someone will post unspoilered spoilers to be a dick. That happens for literally any thread about any game on /v/.However you're actually more likely to get spoiled by normal social media than here these days so I don't know what that says about the modern internet but it can't be good.
>>743660695I don't go on Social Media, so it's YouTube I'm worried about.I've been watching Kinkymation's Splatoon videos recently.
>>743660778Youtube is also a social media platform.
>>743660826Yeah.
I'm going to play Splatoon Raiders out in public just in case I encounter other people playing Splatoon Raiders and we can talk about how cool Splatoon is and that Frye is cuter than Marina.
making salmon room at rotation :)
I'm looking to get games for the Switch 2 but I'm not too familiar with Splatoon. I understand that its usually a multiplayer game but this new one is apparently specifically the opposite of that? From previews it reminds me of Deep Rock Galactic? Is this the kind of game where the story mode is the tutorial and then you just keep playing it for hundreds of hours after that?
>>743663736Yes, the new one is single-player focused, unlike any previous game in the series.The previous games had single-player campaigns, but they were pretty much just tutorials. They're short, easy, and pretty bland. The real meat was in the online PvP/PvE modes. (With one exception - Splatoon 2 got a single-player DLC called "Octo Expansion," which is still the best single-player content in the series and has some real teeth to it.)
>>743663736There seems like there will be content to play for hundreds of hours, at least if you want to really get into the looter build crafting. But the main game will not be a tutorial, based on previews from actual good players. Plus you have access to hard difficulty at all times (with no penalty/benefit of loot), and it does look hard. The other anon is being hardh about the singleplayer of the other games. 1 and 2 are solid. 3 is really good, cause it is OE like. OE is really great
>>743664472>content to play for hundreds of hoursdoubt it
>>743664472Yeah I was a bit harsh on the SP campaigns; I've spent a lot of time in this series, and the campaigns all have their merits. 1's campaign has a fantastic final boss, one of Nintendo's best IMO. The rest of the campaign is really easy though2's base campaign is okay, felt like more of 1's. Octo Expansion really shines though, and it feels intended for players who've mastered the gameplay. 3's base campaign was alright, though I felt it was a step down from OE (which it imitated). And Side Order was too easy, I lost exactly 1 run before steamrolling the rest of it
>>743664501A comma is not a period, stupid. Every mission having a spicy variant and weapons being rng with perks means autists will have plenty to grind out for the perfect loadout
>>743462231Cute
>just lost a tornado wavegod I hate freelancers so fucking much
Finally, some good fucking weapons.
>>743666363yeah it's a fun rotation
sorry reefbro I didn't see that big shot until it was too late
>>743666549it's okay, if a chum didn't hit me when I landed on my way down I would've had it
>>743658272Splatsville pride worldwide baby
nice quick gold
GOLD!
seeing this thread alive still makes me scared to open and scroll at the bottom to see if spoilers spawned yet, no sign yet
>>743667030no spoilers yet
Y'all niggas be salmon running again? Feels like I spent most of the weekend fucking fish.
You anons gonna stay or leave once spoilers start to drop?
>>743667312Stay, I've never been bothered by spoilers.If there's a bunch of cool shit in them, I'll be even more hype for the game.If there's lame shit I can simply say "pass" and go about my life.Shrimple.
>>743667312leave
>>743667229It's a fun rotation so why not?
>>743667312stay because I don't care about getting spoiled
>>743667312There's like 3 days left, does it really matter anymore? I feel like it spoilers would've started dropping a week ahead of launch, especially when I been seeing pictures of people with the game in their hand. Maybe splatoon players just care too much about that sort of thing to go dropping em like that.>>743667406Well you ain't wrong, but fuck, that's a lot of salmon running lately. I get it's because of the Raiders hype, but damn.
>>743667312gone because if theres some ridiculous or underwhelming finale i want to see it for myself..but when im done imma check out the past threads to see how everyone feels
fuck that was all my fault I kept dying
>>743667614>I get it's because of the Raiders hype, but damnfunny you say that because I'm not hyped at all
gg guys I'm done
>>743668040>>743668045ggs fellas
>>743667886I'm going to assume a fair amount of people here are hyped, at least.
>>743668213I hope so
>>743668273Here's to hoping there's tons and tons of threads out the gate. And hey, bump limit. Not bad for a 3 and a half day old thread.
I'm not making a salmon room for the next rotation because it's shit
>>743669308I'm gonna try with randos, but not very hard. I'll get my capsules and that'll be it. It just ain't worth it.
>>743669308>Inkbrush>followed by another Trash BoatI think I'll stick to Anarchy Battles for the next week or so.
>>743668213I'm hyped to play it in a few years when Nintendo has finally given me enough reasons to buy a Switch 2.
>>743668213I'm unbelievably excited! In fact I'm excited to the point that it's making it difficult for me to enjoy my other videogames. Especially.
>>743669709If this wasn't enough reason for you, then you need to get the fuck out of my face.
>>743669308gn sis
