>another thread derailed by /pol/tards

>>744891976
>>744891976>derailedIt's on topic
>>744892243your obsession with trannies is not on topic.
>>744891853even aside from that, the localization quality is kinda bad tooit's better in other languages, but the english one is full of mistakes, from little ones like the callsign "Sudadera" having a trailing space, so "Sudadera ", to egregious ones like "We can hold more Fizzbangs!" which is just not true at all, or how S2 Judd says "you regain ink fastest by swimming through you ink", which implies you need to move to regain faster, etc
>>744890351if they didn't want to they they shouldn't have been so delicious, or wealthy.but they are and they want to dieSo everyone wins

AIEEEEE THIS IS LITERALLY WHITE GENOCIDE SAVE ME TRUMP
>>744892463>to egregious ones like "We can hold more Fizzbangs!"I always found this one odd, it implies that the max number of fizzbangs is increasing, not just the amount gained at spawn or from a kill.
holy troon melty over some saps criticizing a localization
>>744892513What's the lore behind "they want to be delicious" anyway? Is it from the crystals from Alterna? Like humans thought salmons are delicious, salmons absorbed the crystals, and then adapted these thoughts despite being about themselves?Also does that mean that salmonids are cannibals? Perhaps even autocannibals?
>>744891853You know, I wouldn't even mind a lot of the "wokeisms" if they were actually done on purposeThe idea of "did Acht sanitize herself to rid herself of her gender" or "did sanitizing make her lose her sense of it" even if it isn't everyone's cup of tea is at least intentional and can give interesting worldbuilding, lead into insight on sanitization, the worksIf they added a nonbinary option to the character selector, that would at least make SOMEONE happy, even if that group is a 0.0001% group that is obnoxiousBut instead it's just low-effort NoA slop, inserting their own headcanon into Acht which goes against her actual character without caring to build anything with itOr, the fact it's "choose a style" and not "boy or girl" not only doesn't appease the tumblrites (because everyone still knows it's just boy or girl) but also takes away a lot of the actual character expression (the animations being shared between the two, for one)It's just really lazy and I can't imagine it really makes... anyone happy, not even the ones it's supposedly for. So then at that point what the fuck are we even doing
Shiverfags are the second biggest secondaries as of Raiders, the biggest obviously being Marinafags.God I hate octolings.

>>744897935freeze spam with a freezebreaker weapon that deals high single shot damage
>>744897935If you wanna reach the very post-game endgame the meta is freeze charger with freeze gadgets, including the spinny fan thing. The charger has burst damage so it can damage multiple bosses. But I'd just focus on whatever weapons you find fun but be careful about upgrading any weapon too much before you're sure. Be careful with your gems. Maybe with the patch they're more abundant (?) perhaps but still, gems are easily the most valuable loot you find besides 5 star weapons
>>744897931
Am I crazy or can I literally not tell the difference between the boy and girl model.Did they change something with this? Half the fun of the old ones was getting cute clothes for my girl.
>>744892749Fang shut the fuck up go to the famitsu thread if you want to talk about /pol/faggotry
Torqscrew is purely for elevation and fermenting, right? There's no need to add damage boosting perks.
>>744898084>>744898115Thanks anons
>>744898290male and female squids have always looked very similar, the main difference between the two is their eyebrows of all things. now that the game lets you customize eyebrows they may as well be identical
>>744898781I think so? Japanese players did guides on it though and there's autotranslate, some english youtubers also did videos on it. I know you want it to collect eggs too because you won't spend any time on the ground basically and you want eggs collected as soon as possible. I think shiver is also used because it's fast to execute compared to other specials
>>744898781Egg collection, make it wide.
>>744897512Was that what they were evoking? I thought he was just fried/salt grilled.
>>744899408>Was that what they were evoking?It isHence the dead-looking eyesSalmon are meant to die after breeding/laying eggs, but sometimes they can end up living for weeks after the fact. Since their "biological clock" is straight up telling them they're supposed to be dead, they genuinely start rotting alive
>>744897931Yeah I knew about the horny morph, also very fucked up. Apparently they turn pink from the flesh on the inside, so their skin turns pink and their flesh turns white if I understood correctly. Insane creatures.Also all Salmonids are in their horny form. I don't know what this implies but it's funny.Would be kinda cool if silver Salmonids exist, but they only live underwater.>>744899408He's supposed to be extremely old so yeah I think so. His eye definitely looks more rotten, and he has a lot of scars and shit.
Saltimatum is also referred to as a god in the japanese, so squigga is truly ancient.
>>744897512>>744899408>>744899726>>744899760>>744900000Well, salt is a preservative, after all.
>>744897512i picked up on it quickly. still not sure why it's upside down thoughadmittedly i was hoping they would have used the concept for something more substantial, feels a little wasted here
>>744900190It's upside down so the salt shaker constantly pours salt into its mouth, go look at it again and it's really obvious.
>>744899726It's also because they used up all their energy for swimming against the stream and spawning, and they don't have proper food in rivers so they can't eat. Their muscle tissue is straight up burned out and they are so starved that their stomach begins digesting itself. They just exhaust their entire body to the point where it just slowly shuts down and dies bit by bit. Crazy shit.>>744900000The Japanese name is pretty cool, it's one of those complex puns where you take a simple phrase and then use obscure kanji to completely change the meaning, or something like that.The German name is pretty cool too, but I'm too lazy to fully explain it cause it's also fairly complex. But that's part of why it's cool I guess.>>744900190It swims upside down to look like a whale. Well, that's what the devs intended, I don't know what the lore reason is. Thought they would explain it in the second fun facts but nope.>>744900374Oh shit, really? I'll have to check some time, that'd made a lot of sense.

It definitely feels like they increased the drop rates with the patch, I'm getting a lot more random 5* stuff from grinding the beach than I was before.
>>744900000Is he a previous gen salmonarch?
>>744902528More like an ancient Hugefry.
What if the Salmonarch was supposed to fight Mr. Grizz in space? What if we doomed ourselves by stopping it?

Where are all the female salmonids?!
Does anyone know what stage these fuckers spawn the most in?Somehow the final enemy I'm missing since they don't spawn in the beach crystal map.
>>744904712my first guess would be to grind that one big shot dungeon
>>744904084holy shit, even the ceph poses are the same.
>>744904084Yeah I know, but the thing is it happens during Big Runs too, in the background. Why does it happen? Does it only happen when the Salmonarch appears? Or is it unrelated to the Salmonarch? What causes it then? Idk man I wish they would've explained a bit more, I was always curious about that phenomenon. If anything they only raised more questions.>>744905552Where is that from?
>>744905810the bad ending of Raiders, which plays if the timer runs out during one of the egg collection phases
You honestly have to wonder why the jellys and salmonids aren't at the top of the food chain. Inklings and Ocotos cant' even touch water.
>>744903589>>744904084>>744905552>>744905810>>744905810It a reference to the Seven Deadly Fins
>>744905959inkfish can touch and drink water, they just can't be fully submerged in it
>>744905903Holy fug, I didn't know that was a thing. I'll go check it out
>>744903589>>744905810It's said that the Salmonarch just produces fucked up crazy magnetic waves that it can't even control, presumably that's what the seven Rings of Light are.
>>744905959Same reason why humans are on top. Smarts and tool use. The mechanic is a prime example, kills literally thousands just with the help of tools.
>>744906213So does that mean there's a Salmonarch or similar entity spawning whenever there's a Big Run? I'm pretty sure the gravity shit is just to explain how the platforming bullshit during the boss fight happens, I think it's unrelated to the rings. The rings are there before it hatches, too.
>>744906430The only time we've ever seen the Rings directly appear right in front of us was here in Raiders, so one can only conclude that previous appearances of the Rings were brought about the same way.Raiders' Salmonarch is noted to be the 7th generation, so there have been individuals before this one, but I'm of the mind that the Big Runs in 3 were probably caused by this one as well.It's been part of Salmonid lore that magnetic waves have impacted their behavior since 2, and it's also how Raiders explains the worldwide Salmonid frenzy that happens after Desshurt.In short Spirhalite did it.
>>744893969Lying piece of shit, go take your attempted revisionism and shove it up your ass
>>744907328there's no point to replying, the troon ran away after getting btfo

>>744907634Just use the free one they give you for beating the final boss?
>>744902184She needs me!
>>744907634you're just being overloy autistic about it. the 100 floors aren't so hard that you need a minmax build. just keep dumping upgrades into a 5 star you like and get some solid gadgets parts. and if all fails just abuse freezebreaker for easymode
you gotta wonder how brutal the actual turf war was if a handful of kids and a helicopter pilot can face off against all this bullshit
>>744907634i beat floor 100 with regular sippy cups and a turbo shit gadget setupjust pick a weapon you like and upgrade it nigger. if you don't like the grind then you won't like what's post-floor 100 anyways, so stop grinding for the perfect weapon.
>>744883563>tfw got a splatling 5 star primo>ferment tier 3 by default>no explosive ferment, have to add the part manually>now explosive ferment weapons barely dropSo is this the Primo endgame? Cause once I get a 5 star Primo Stringer, the grind to get Tier 3 Freeze is not gonna be fun.
>>744908528Don't worry anon, it's gonna take you so fucking long to get a 5 star primo stringer that you'll have the weapon ability parts ready.
>>744908484THE MECHANIC BUILT THESE GADGETS ON A RAFT...WITH A BUNCH OF FISH PARTS!
>>744908747Yeah well I'm not the Mechanic...
>>744907634I’m with the other anons, you really don’t need anything super overpowered to beat the first 100 floors. I’ve been wrecking shit with a basic bow with icebreaker since I’m searching for a primo Alpine bow. What matters way more is the sum of the whole, i.e. if your build is any good and you have good parts for your gadgets. You just need playtime to get stronger.
>>744883563PSA. If you’re looking for a primo from a specific weapon class, use that weapon class while searching for it. Game sets the drop rate for same-type weapons to 1/6.https://youtu.be/7HjpFohzV_EIf you’re looking for a brush, bow or splatana, make sure to use one of those when hunting, as it basically quadruples the drop rate. This is because they only have 3 variants total, as opposed to 6 with other weapons and 9 with shooters.
>get 5* primo>ink efficiencyfucking useless shit
>>744909603Really? I'm using the horn toy blaster and want the shark toy blaster, but I'm not getting any toy blaster, and rarely a normal blaster
>>744897512>>744899726>>744900374Hold the fuck up, that's what the secret final boss is supposed to be? I would have sworn on my life that it was meant to be a well seasoned and broiled whole salmon. He's got the slightly burnt scales and even scars I've seen on real life cooked fish. My own damn dad's presented me with meals that look like that motherfucker. Especially since it's the logical endpoint of all the strongest salmonids on the islands being exceedingly well seasoned, so of course the strongest and oldest champion of them all is straight up cooked. The giant salt shaker kept him nice and strongThough thinking about it, it's not too far-fetched to imagine that Saltimatum is actually meant to merge both of those concepts together in some horrific union of crazy ideas. I mean after all, being cooked kills everything, but all it did was make that motherfucker undead because he was just that fucking strong and seasoned. He's got fucking swords and shit poking out of him during the fight. It took the mechanic to finally put the it down for good. This is purely speculation on my part, but if that's truly what the idea is then that's absolutely nuts. Wouldn't put it past the devs, either, their sea life references are always on point.
>>744886990that's an octoling

>>744900000checked
>>744907634dude just use the dualies, you don't need to min max for this shit
>>744907634It's not THAT hard, man. You can get all the way to 90 quite easily, and even then it doesn't take too much effort to push towards the end.
>>744909979It’s just a 1/6 chance extrapolated over hundreds of drops, so it’s still very random.
>>744910182And? Agent 3 is still referred to as they/them during single player
>>744909979If I understand the chart correctly, all it does is increase the chance of getting that type of weapon, not necessarily of getting a 5* version of that weapon.So you're likely rolling many blasters, they're just low rank so you don't really notice.
>finally got a non-gem reward for daily help>bunch of 1-3 star weaponsAt least it gave me chunks.
>>744910029It's most likely meant to be both, yeah.
she? I thought the mechanic was a dude.
>>744911842He's no dude. He's a man!
Wait, just realized the salmonid evolutionary chart has a Gyo reference.
I enjoyed raiders and thought 3's was alright. How's Octo Expansion and Side Order?

how do we stop fangfax from ruining the vibes of raiders threads
Raiders was overall a hell of a lot of fun, but I'm not even halfway into the Bottomless Buffet prior to even unlocking endless and it's gotten boring quick.Weapons are understandable, but the gems and shards should be a ton more plentiful so you can upgrade your weapons more and bring weaker ones up to your current best quicker.
>>744886287I guarantee you some retard at Treehouse complained that her ass and hips were too big and that's why Raiders has an androgynous sexless character.
>>744890351>>744891146Plot twist they aren't actually natives, and the Spirahlite basically corrupted them so it's almost like you're setting them free.
>>744897512Remind me again why the seafood industry has been pushing for more salmon as superior to tuna?
What will the devs do now that God has been destroyed?
>>744897795Bro is gooning. You cannot tell me some animals on earth are not just organic robots designed in pre world flood times by fallen angels.

IM ON FLOOR 60IM BARELY MEETING QUOTATHE GAME WONT GIVE ME A FUCKING WEAPONIVE USING THIS 50+5 4 STAR TOY BLASTERTHIS FUCKING SUCKSWHY DOES SPLATOON HAVE TO BE SO DAMN GRINDY EVEN IN A SINGLEPLAYER GAME
I just got the survey from Nintendo. Remember to tell them that you didn't like the androgynous character and that you wanted more costumes for boys so us men can look fresh as fuck and not like a little homo.
>>744914173Go after the architect, the creator of Gods
>>744907634Was just about to come make the same complaint, so I'll just add to your frustration.>Finally made it to floor 100 with a level 50 weapon since the game decided I need to play on hard mode and won't drop good weapons.>Last boss is easy enough, but takes so long I eventually make mistakes.The last few floors were a bit frustrating, but the challenge was at least still fun and quick. It also did a good job of teaching me to make the most of my gadgets, which I did have upgraded since they were my main source of damage. This last boss is just dull though and I really don't know if I have the motivation to whittle it down for 30 minutes or however long it will take. I could obviously just upgrade a weapon to get it over with, but at this point I don't want to out of principle. The post game is genuinely some of the most poorly designed mechanics out of any game I have played in a long time. The point of randomness should be to make you work with what you have, which doesn't work when everything needs massive resources dumped into it so you end up locking yourself in without even more grinding. Unfortunately, the game is just too fun so I definitely will go back and probably just replay the easier floors with a different weapon and set of gadgets.
>>744915076>The point of randomness should be to make you work with what you have, which doesn't work when everything needs massive resources dumped into itYeah like I know I could upgrade that freebie splattershot, but then I'd be basically spending my entire life savings on that weapon since everything takes so much resources
Just beat the first boss and the pot shot is my bro as expected
>And the furtive agent 4, so easily forgotten...
>>744915694Pot Shot is really awesome for most of the game.
People here are saying the drop rates are better but my drop rates have taken a hit. I used to get a 5 star Promo, now I can't even get a 5 star period.
>>744909603Works. Got a 5-Star Primo Alpine Stringer after a half hour of doing Super Spicy stages I haven't cleared. no freeze by default so now the grind begins again... best parts to go with freeze?
>>744884350i still think these would be far better used as a stand-in for the screen instead of the bubble bloweri.e. using the links to set up barriers that block salmonid passage instead of using them as actual bombshow it can be effectively done, i'm still trying to figure out
The last Splatoon game I played was one so I was shocked that the octopus tribe are people now.
>>744918210Consider going back and playing Octo Expansion. It's fantastic.
>>744918326Oh I’m the racist and hope there was another great turf war
I did it.Now all I need are the last 4 weapons and I'm done.
Splatoon and Pikmin have the best lore
>>744900505>It swims upside down to look like a whale.is it not to emphasize that he's dead?like, that he's truly gone belly-up?not even a pun, it's literally what he is
seems like the hype died after 2 weeksno one even post screenshots or webms anymore
>>744918398>he doesn't know about the second checkmark for the Gadget Guide for getting all the parts for everythingAnon...
>>744918568There's a screenshot three (3) posts above yours.
After the Mechanic's onslaught, I am wondering if any of these Salmonids will try and force a different path of evolution to be on par with Inklings and Octolings? Strong-Arms seems like it was a step in that direction, but in its prototype stages.
>>744915076>since the game decided I need to play on hard mode and won't drop good weapons.>not playing on survivalist from the beginning
>>744919198nta but why wouldn't you want to play on tourist early on to open up levels as fast as possible, then go back and clear them again on survivalist?
>>744919198By hard mode I just mean ignoring the weapon upgrade mechanic and playing with a pea shooter since I don't want to waste everything I've collected so far on a weapon I don't really care about and rng hates me. I did start on survivalist and I forgot the game actually did force people to play on hard mode to make that statement unclear.
>>744918604Oh I know, I've been working on that at the same time.
>>744912497OE's the best version of traditional Splatoon singleplayer.SO is going to feel like a prototype Raiders.
>>744919707That's fair.>>744919656Because the game is nowhere near difficult enough to warrant such a waste of time.
>>744919656Super Spicy requires you to play on Survivalist anyway, so you may as well acclimate yourself to the difficulty sooner rather than later.
I missed these guys, hopefully they'll come in a DLC or expansion. Imagine Seasoned Triumvirate
>still no primo dulies or Squelchers
>>744921159>spoilerOne, fuck no. Two, wasn't the final boss basically that?
>>744921408No, he just did the attacks of the first three bosses.
>>744914479>>744915076Nigganon people have done deep floor clears with only gadgets. If you're not getting any fire rate 5-stars (don't wait for the primos, trust me), invest in your gadgets.Buffing the shit out of my blast boot and meteor mitt was the difference in my clearing 99
Normally only the melee hit gets multiplied with a splatana against frozen enemies. But I noticed that after a fast triple splashdown, I have exactly enough time to charge attack with the primo rail and it multiplies both the melee and ranged attack.Is there an explanation for this? It's nice bonus damage.
>>744921159>periodic updates that let you use your overpowered sets against newer, tougher fishYes please.
>>744899760There is a silver salmonid, and he's the fucking chosen one.Smallfry, aka Little Buddy, aka Hugefry, aka Death Salmon Child.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIyCbBgKY_YHe should be a Chum by Splatoon 4 and by then he should be able to speak Inkrish as well.
>>744922462Nearly maxing out my gadgets is the only way I cleared floor 99 and I feel confident I can finish the boss too unless there is a second form, but that doesn't make it good game design. Waiting some arbitrary amount of time to get the good weapons does nothing to make the game more enjoyable. Everything costing huge amounts of resources while also expecting you to throw those resources away because of random events is not fun. Everything being so expensive also reduces variety and pushes you into a fixed build rather than being able to easily change around like you could in the earlier game. It is all just there to take time rather than to actually make the game more enjoyable.
>>744904712The first den available should have them
>>744922530It probably puts you in exactly the right position for the ranged hit to register before the enemy is unfrozen by the melee hit
Bit sad how low Big Man falls off near the endgame. It's a nice panic button during the early to mid part but now he just feels not worth it in the least. Very low damage, I'd rather have Shiver everything freeze everything or Frye ferment all the salmon.
>>744921046>you may as well acclimate yourself to the difficulty sooner rather than later.fuck the acclimationi'd sooner gain as much momentum as possible and see how big of a smear i make when i hit the walland i mean that seriously, the easier things seem to get the more fun it is to see how far i still have yet to go
>>744924060Yeah I beat floors 1-96 with no grinding. 97-99 it felt like I was walled out because of pure numbers and I had to stop to do a massive grind, and in my winning attempts I simply won by only killing one big arms then farming bosses. I also agree on the resources thing, you simply can't experiment with builds without massively gimping your damage. The biggest catastrophe is really just spiralhite gems.That being said any hard hitting 5 star is fine, it doesnt need to be a fire rate primo variant
>>744924741>Big Man is an afterthought compared to Shiver and FryeBig surprise there.
>>744924741His invincibility alone makes him valuable and the damage is still solid. It's also the only time where Scorch is valid for endgames.
making salmon room at rotation
>>744924741I don't find that to be the case at all. It's an incredibly useful panic button, and it absolutely shreds Strongarms because it basically does quad damage. Ferment first, then go into Big Man special to kill everything.
>>744916058She's at my house. Getting her woomy filled.
Well, I did it50 hours on the clock to a 100% run in my eyes because you're out of your fucking mind if you think I'm gonna farm all primo weapons, all gadget parts, or kill 100 more strong arms or whatever the fuckI've basically done everything I wanted to doA dollar an hour seems like a good deal to me, I'm happy with it. Might play it every now and then, or if they release new content. But for the most part, I'm done
>when you're I handheld and boot up the game you can use the touch screen to swirl the clouds aroundNeat.
>>744926857Don't mess with it too much, you'll crash the game.
>>744925931>>744926169I guess I'm using him wrong? Though I value more being able to killed armored enemies like steelheads and drizzlesr.
ITS ME>>744914479>>744907634HAHAHAHHAHAHAA FUCUKKK HYEAHHHHHHHHHHI WIN I FUCKING WIN AHAHAHAHAHNEVEREVERGIVE UPNEVER GIVE UPLET THAT BE A LESSON
So what are your thoughts on the final boss being a Biblically-accurate King Ghidorah?
>>744926912They patched that out.
About to start this game. Anything I should know?
>>744927123Fresh!
>>744927430To have fun. =)
>>744927470Lick the Salmonids for bonus damage.
>>744883646No. Just the boys are. Girls are still girls.
>>744928018In Spiralhite ISlands, salmonid licks you!
>you're all hereGet back to the island, goddammit.
>>744927430Good luck, have fun.
>>744927123I have 3 Primo Butane BlastersThe first one was my 3rd Primo
>>744928153>tfw ywn be licked by a salmonid
>>744927272Possibly the creepiest modern Nintendo villain. Also I'm sad that no schizo anon has called this game Masonic like they do Mario 64.
Sup reefbro I've been using a new character in smash lately so next time we play I want try them out
My god, that was a hundred times better than the dreck I had to put up with last night.
>5 star primo charger drops>excited>take a look>that fucking damage compared to a random 2 star oneGuess I'm still looking for the fish bone one
Is Blast Boot really that good? I hear everyone talk about it but I keep trying it with my Icebreaker stuff and just find that it's decent, but there's no room for it in my Jump Bomb + Flywire + Torqscrew setup
>>744928560I mean a squiffer isn't going to do as much damage as an e-liter.Weapon damage is entirely determined by type and level. There seems to be a few buckets of weapon damage. On the top is e-liter shots and dynamo roller rolling which do the same amount of damage. Down from there is like, squiffer shots, direct blaster hits, dynamo roller swings, and splatana charged slashes, which again all do the same damage.
>>744928276no>>744928535That's because you're playing with real profreshionals
>>744928674Blast boot with Damage surge + Gadget surge + Frost proc does funny numbers
Gotta pee brb
>>744928674Yes. You get a +100% damage boost, 100% freeze chance, 60% ink refill and repositioning on a cooldown of a few seconds.
>>744928909Forgot pic
>>744928516sup I'm only gonna play for one kingidk when I'm gonna be on smash next I still gotta get all the relics in raiders and stuff
>>744928883>profreshionals
>>744928324I vaguely remember that, what were the details of his schizo rantings?
>>744928909>>744929027i GUESS i can give it another tryi really like the flywire though but its the most disposable of the three
>>744929034>sup I'm only gonna play for one kingOK that's fine>idk when I'm gonna be on smash next I still gotta get all the relics in raiders and stuffTake your time no need to rush we'll play smash bros eventually so for now enjoy raiders bro
>>744909603This was really clear to me when playing but retards denied it.
>>744929037Yeah I keep forgetting that profreshional is an insulting term
>>744929031Which gun is that?
SOLID GOLD, BABY>every time I turn around, you get the big shot instead of meI'm going to throw your ass overboard, swear on me mum
>>744929031Why bother with next gadget damage up if you aren’t using axe, mitt, or something else huge. Am I completely missing blast boost damage numbers?Also is anybody using the option yo throw blast boot instead of jump? Losing mobility is bad but with two other escape options does it matter.
>>744929598Primo Butane Blaster
GOLD! and 6 deaths nice ggs reefbro
nice gold>>744929617>I'm going to throw your ass overboard, swear on me mumnot if I can throw myself overboard first
>>744929617Fresh!
>>744929643Yeah still deciding on that last slot either increasing exploding range or range up
>>744929658ggs
>>744929713Dash Range up*
>>744929042Basically that Mario 64 is a Masonic initiation ritual because some things in the game resemble masonic imagery like the checkered floor in the castle (but ignore the checkered floor in super Mario Bros 3), the sun, the owl, other schizo stuff like saying the two "pillars" you have to break are the Masonic pillars except they're not pillars. Masons were larpers, but they did have a lot of imagery that was borrowed for the Egyptians and Hebrews (the actual Hebrews, not the Jews) who were Byzantinian. The biggest thing about Freemasonry tho is that it's the Freemason artists that basically created the coolest aspects of Freemasonry by the visuals, and stuff like the checkered board motif is just ancient back when people had to use tiles to make decorative floors instead of carpeting or rugs.
>>744929672>>744929695
>>744929643It's less about damage and more on procing freeze for your main weapon and mobility to get in and out of situations
We must be like a godsend to this rando.
>use anything besides a splattershot>struggleBwos I'm such a shitter
>>744926976Are you spamming L and R to fire off his inkrays? I hope you're not just riding him and bumping into things.And yes his invincibility is fucking incredible for later stages when you get swarmed with a million Salmonids, shockwaves, explosives, beams and such. He lets you clear things without worry of losing your shield.
>>744930193I was thanking the same thing
ay
>>744930387Cool it with the anti-salmitism Big Man.
>>744910029From my understanding Lord Saltimatum is a previous Salmonarch, charged with protecting the sacred relic, but he grew possessive of its power, relying on it to keep him alive looooong after his lifespan. He's so coked out on spirhalite that he became a veritable undead god.
>>744930371He ain't the best I ever seen but as far as freelancers go, you can do far worse.
>>744924741Big Man's good because he can spread burn and you're completely invulnerable. The only real danger is that things like the side of Steelheads can knock you off ledges.
Oh shit we got more BANANDIUM!
ANOTHER GOLD! ggs guys fun shifts see you guys next Joe rotation
Man that was too close. GGs guys.
Lord Saltimatum fighting upside-down reminded me of MH Rise’s final boss
It legit pisses me off that there's still players who don't know how to use Splatanas.Fucking Freelancers, I tell you.
>>744930638I love everything about that. If only he was a more fun fight.>>744931009>>744931034Too damn close, I'd say. Joe is like the opposite of coho when it comes to high tide. I want high tide for fatass because all the eggs are close at hand, but joe don't let you stay nowhere. Least I got me shitloads of big shot kills this time around.>next bonerattle shift has carbon and goo tuberWhy...
>>744931119>next bonerattle shift has carbon and goo tuberOh nice I'll have fun on that rotation
Oh shit, I finally passed the 9k benchmark for big shot kills. In the home stretch now, should be done roughly sometime in 2030.>Dead Tired RaiderSounds about right. But why don't I have the raider title? I thought it was given out for promotional reasons.
>>744931349>I finally passed the 9k benchmark for big shot killsThe time for stealing big shot kills has begun>Sounds about right. But why don't I have the raider title? I thought it was given out for promotional reasons.Honestly bro I don't remember how I even got it in the first place
>>744931480Ah, I looked it up. The only titles given out were Spiralhite Islands and Mechanic. Gotta admit, that kind of sucks. Though I did see several people already have the first one by pure chance before they officially handed em out.
>>744931659>Ah, I looked it up. The only titles given out were Spiralhite Islands and MechanicI had no idea
i missed out on playing with you guys but game 1 freelance gave me a king round and
>>744924741His damage output is fine, but his biggest issue is that when you're running around killing shit you're collecting (and wasting) a shit ton of eggs. Shiver's the endgame meta partner because she's a quick fire-and-forget weapon
>>744931724Liar! You simply forgot.>>744931738Hey what do you know, we all got 2 golds tonight. Congrats. Debating doing the next rotation in about 10 minutes so I can possibly get 2 more golds and get my juice parka.
>>744929643The fan does deceptively really good damage. Especially if you have suction, the propeller in the middle does extra damage.
>>744929713Keep gadget damage up for fan. I've seen a full cast do 1mil on a maxed out setup >>744931991
>>744928674The parts you can put on it are crazyOn top of mobility and AOE, it has a relatively low cd, freeze, damage surge, and gadget damage upBoot into meteor mitt is a fun combo
The turrets just don’t scale well do they. I want to try triple shot blaster with everything maxed out but don’t want to waste the investment.
>>744927123Lucky bastard. I had to level up a non primo putin blaster. It still hasn't spawned for me
>>744931738Lucky>>744931957Yeah I forgot
>>744932131I thought the shot pot was supremely broken and used it for a long time until I tried out the Torqscrew and it not only handled the fodder, but got the mega eggs, grouped everyone together, and did the ferment thing.The turret couldn't really compare to that
>>744932098>Boot into meteor mitt is a fun comboShame I can't have the mitt on the speed tank. I don't know how I'd live without my jump bomb
>It's another super spicy help shitter doesn't pay attention to desshurt's laserThis has to be the worst help request to get. It's such a long fight and they always fuck it up despite having beaten the damn thing before.
Imagine if on floor 999 you fight another superboss: Prime-Cured Octostomp
>>744913803Pretty much what it is, yeah.
>>744933064Huh. Done a bunch of help in the last few days and not a single one for the bosses. It's usually random dens or idiots trying to get help for pudyin and not realizing the HP scales.
>>744933268imagine its fish bone from mario kart
Sex with Shiver
>double gold scale capsuleScore, the parka is mine! Now I just need 10 for the last two bits of gear.
>>744930339>Are you spamming L and R to fire off his inkraysYes I am, and I still don't like using him very much for the lower levels of buffet. I would much rather have Shiver freeze everything so I can kill it or Frye pound the crowd and weaken the with her eels.
>>744933717Lucky, it's really annoying because shit takes forever, and people often die in the egg collecting phases against Desshurt cause they're too dumb to avoid the laser. If you're unlucky you lose the last collective life in the second egg phase, or even worse, in the last phase. Just fucking 5-10 minutes of your life wasted even though you never died and probably did the most damage. Honestly I'd rather solo the whole thing and let the other two noobs focus on not dying.
>>744934793It wasn't a particularly difficult fight in single player, but then that doesn't stop retards from doing their thing and being terrible at the most basic shit. Kinda tempted to go helping calls until I get a desshurt and see how it goes. Only boss I've fought in multiplayer was flappetizer, and that was with /v/ anons so it wasn't exactly the most difficult thing.
>>744934793The sweep isn't a problem in with my games. They usually throw it all at phase 3 when you get triple lasers. They don't fucking swim, catch the first laser and don't have anything to escape the next two while armor broken.
go to sleep g!!
>>744935217no
>>744934067gn sis
>>744914081Because they're easily farmable.
>>744907328Wow that boy is kinda thick
>>744936613Yeah all cephs are pretty caked up. Guess all the people in Alterna liked ass more than tits.
Wait did I miss a triumvirate rotation?
any raidin?need gems
>>744938920Last weekend, you're way too late.
>>744931860Lmao no, Frye is the meta amongst the japs.
no ones playing the best salmon rotation so far
>>744927123Nice. you can turn that into a damn fine freeze build if you want to, depending on your resources
>>744929031Stealing this build.
>>744941358I put what I could of Ice Breaker and the Fermentation Explosion on there.Should I put on the ability that causes my shots to have a chance to freeze or should I just rely on my gadgets to freeze people? I've heard conflicting things. I think I heard I should use the bonus damage to far-off enemies as the 3rd slot
Are Shiver and Frye adults and Ink/Octolings don't physically grow much into adulthood, or are they something like teens?Shiver gives adult vibes, Frye seems a little autistic but if she's a kid/teen that might explain it
Is it vital to have played the previous games before starting this game?
>>744942663There's a little bit of extra stuff you'd understand if you played 3 but it's by no means required
>>744942383Frye is roughly as old as Shiver. Frye's also an actual big sister and if you talk to her more or pay more attention she'll say stuff like wanting to protect you/take care of you. Otherwise she is an energetic goblin.
So what's the best way to farm shards? Pudyin or Awlmun?
Why can't I add a sex den to the hideout ship?
>>744942663everything you need to know:>splatoon takes place in a future where all mammal life has gone extinct and marine life has evolved to reclaim the land>you play as a squid or octopus ink creature, that can transform between a humanoid form or a squid/octo form>salmonids are fucked up salmon marauders, who are incredibly violent and attack everyone on sight>the three characters you go on an adventure with in Raiders are members of a band, in addition to being treasure hunters>there's some references to previous games but none of it is important
>>744944308You're in the middle of nowhere out on the sea, you just do it out in the open.
>>744943909Awlmun with jump bomb and flywire so you can get up there real quick of courseYou need to power them up tho
>>744944308Asking the real questions. The Deep "Fa.m" orgies gotta happen somewhere.
I don’t want to drop chunks to test this, does the splash from blasters trigger ice breaker? Only thing I have I could test this on is the explosher which seems to trigger it but I don’t know if the pre explosion shot triggered it ya know?
>>744883563>Primo Toy blaster with Max fire rateKINOOOOOOOOOO
AY? Ay ay ay ay? Ay... (REALLY? Right in front of my arcade? Nymphos...)
>>744945516Big Man got two dicks, he can handle that
I want to fuck Shiver in the ass while Frye and big man watch
Is the "Mega Eggs explode when they're collected" relic worth it in late game? I imagine the explosion doesn't scale, so it probably falls off at some point, right?
>>744946427I think basically everything scales with your damage. Which does slow down but it's good until you're deep into post-post game.The large explosions from the fully upgraded relic are great.
does splatoon 2/3 have a single player? Im enjoying raiders
>>744947689>Splatoon 2The base singleplayer mode is pretty short, a lot of people call it a glorified tutorial for multiplayer. It's fun enough but not something you'd buy the game for. The Octo Expansion DLC however is very good, it's the best single player experience Splatoon has to offer outside of Raiders.>Splatoon 3The base singleplayer mode is structured like Octo Expansion but quite not as well received. The Side Order DLC is a small roguelike mode. Probably too small - should have been its own game like Raiders
>>744948074skip then, got it
No AimNo BrainMust be a Bucket Main
>>744948808
I've been using the tactical tank again in the postgame and man it feels awful not having any speed gadget for a quick escape or repositioning.Feels like I just die if I make any single mistake now.
>>744949029I think you basically have to use Meteor Mitt. Which sucks because nothing synergizes with it in the rest of the Tactical Tank kit, but it's the only escape option you get.
>>744949029permafloat between torqscrew and bot jumps
>>744949029Sounds like you need to be more tactical
>>744950341Why do Type A and Type B gears fluster her
I must have sped read something. Why do the Salmonids leave fry oil instead of fish oil in this game?
>>744950576what oil
>>744951079Their trails. Its not the normal greenish like in Salmon Run
>>744950576It's ink, not oilThey're technically a slightly different species from the SR salmonids, their bodies are different colors tooI think they're based on two different kinds of IRL salmons
>>744950576Fry oil makes them more delicious.
>>744950562She is retarded and didn't know about types, please understand
>>744885557Why aren't you?
Are there any new collectibles after I finish the game for the first time, or can I just run the missions through again on spicy?
>>744953912If you mean like the scrolls, then no, but there's different clear rewards for beating them on spicy or super spicy.
>>744953964I meant like the scrolls yeah, glad to know I can just blitz through these
>>744953964>>744954003Note that beating a mission on super spicy also counts as beating it on spicy and gives you that reward as well.
>>744954123you just saved me a shit ton of time, thank you
>>744954123What the fuck, I wish I knew that
Is grinding F97-99 really the best way to grind for Primos? I'm slogging through them with my shitty lvl 79 splatling in hope to get the Primo LN2 but man I'm not getting shit
>>744954740Probably but I don't think it matters that much. You can do what you want. The important thing is to make sure you're doing it with a splatling equipped.
just beat the main story, I see the extra nine treasures, but what exactly is the meta for getting geared out ASAP? I was about to waste time too, until I see the other anons tip about extra spicy
So what are the lore implications of the Salmonids having an actual god?
>>744949029Not being able to use dash boots immediately makes me never want to use tactical again. Mobility is nice and all but I notice that damage drop immediately.
>>744950576its drool, the steelhead and salivator entries confirm this
>>744954740Awlmun farming is likely the most efficient, albeit pretty mindnumbing. Bot hop right at the start and dash across the water to the crates, break them with the turret deployments, then move forward and clear the level
>>744955075All of the good farming stuff is basically at the end of the post-game. I don't even think it's worth worrying about. Bottomless buffet is already a really fast and efficient way of farming and it's the thing you're supposed to do anyway.
This game did the impossible and made me like Deep Cut. Crazy how actually getting time with the characters will do that instead of giving Off the Hook and Squid Sisters MORE FUCKING STORIES like they did in 3.
>>744955445Wait, for Primo drops? I thought it was the most efficient for shards, not for weapon drops. Do I have to break the boxes for a higher chance or something? Cause I just do it like this lol
>>744955445>>744957104No need to finish the level. Just destroy the crates and quit out, you'll farm faster that way.
>>744957520and this is for primo drops?
>>744957520Ok yeah so it's just about the boxes, that makes more sense. Thanks
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED SHIVER TO MARRY ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK EVERYTIME I GO IN THE GAME AND SEE HER IT MAKES ME DEPRESSED EVERYTIME WHY ISNT SHE REAL FOR COD'S SAKE
>>744957648Yeah. For Spirhalite finishing is naturally the better way because of the 10k drops in chests.
>Try to go help to get the daily bonus>Entire team wipes except me>It happens againFuck me.
>>744949158You can stack dashes and damage reduction on the splatchet. Jusf slowly scoot away.
>>744957520>>744957659Been doing this since (plus some set up time for the gadgets) and I didn't get a single 5* yet. This ain't it, at least for me. But thanks for the tip
>THE MECHANIC BUILT THESE GADGETS ON A RAFT!>WITH A BOX OF FISH PARTS!
>>744957520Haven't gotten a single primo yet. Is it just that low of a chance even on Super Spicy?
>>744960387This is only a decent way to farm shards when you get access to it, when you're high level do baygull bay 80 or 97-99 floors, those two ways are the best ways to farm everything, loot, shards, gems. Youtubers just jumped on that because it was viral and to be fair it's an easy way to farm in a mindless way whilst you're watching tv/movies or whatever but that's all it is
Should I just buy this digitally? There is a girl working at gamestop today and I was too scared to go in.
>trying to grind with a slosher since i'm missing 2 of the primos>can't even get regular sloshers to drop
Don't get why they have a retry option of the compass dungeons but not for anything else
>>744961269You should buy it physically just so you can work on being less of a sperg and talk to a human being
>>744961948Because compass dungeons have no loot.
>spirhalite shards are blue>spirhalite crystals are red>spirhalite on Salmonids are yellowSo which fucking color is this shit?
>finished getting all the gadget part drops for power and speed tank, now I'm stuck farming with the tactical tank.Lord, spare me from this suffering...
>>744963487It's white
>>744963867Tactical feels so weak compared to the other two.I miss going fast.
>>744963919After getting used to jump bomb bullshit for power tank, and jump bomb + dash bomb on speed tank, having absolutely no access to jumping abilities other than the meteor mitts feels so gross
>>744963867tactical is the bestweapon with ice breakerdouble turretshigh fiver with freezesplatellitesall with auto activatenothing can touch you>but falls off in floor 300+yeah shut up faggot
>>744964117>auto activateActual garbage
>>744964203it has carried me all the way to floor 200 with minimal effortand once it falls off, I'll just stop playing because I'm not gonna be doing any gay torqscrew faggot cheese
What's the best build for splatanas?
>>744963867Just stop, you don't need to do this.
>>744965267Icebreaker, probably
>>744966407I already have an ice breaker stringer which probably pumps out bigger numbers anyway
>>744966356I'm not done collecting all weapon types yet either, so I still have farming time to burn.
just did multiplayer for the first time, its very fun
How much damage should my weapon be doing to make through the buffet and post game raids?
>>744966497Then consecutive attack up, close range attack up, ferment, ferment explosions, etc.Some combination of those
Playing Raiders makes me feel like pic related
>>744969528>When you ask her if she saved room for dessert
>65 hours>still haven't found all weaponsBruh
>>744971226You can go higher
>>744971226I'm at 70 and missing 3.
>>744971226Good luck drops are all random
>>744971226Brother I'm on 105 and I'm still missing a couple.
>>744971226I have 155 hours and I'm still missing one primo weapon to finish the weapon guide.
>>744971226>>744971509>>744971829>>744971901and this is why I stopped. The drop rates are just outright terrible.
Where do I find the Gadget part that lets me use more than two Bombloons?
>these niggas are still farmingall outfits was my 100%and that was 50 hourswhy would you willingly torture yourself like that?some grinds are just not worth it
>>744972127You either build them or they drop randomly, like everything else
>>744972127All +charges parts are developed and not found.
>>744972191I'm not farming, I'm just playing the game for fun. It'll show up eventually, and if not then whateverAlso who gives a shit about outfits lol, that's like the least important part of the game
>>744883563Any nude mods?
>>744972314She has literally no tits, what's the point
>>744972249I can't find it in the Bombloons section of the Develop Parts menu
>>744972445>She has literally no titshot
>>744971980I mean I had fun for 65 hours so buying the game was worth it but honestly? I feel like Nintendou could double or quadruple the drops and it'd just be more fun. Upgrading loot/gadgets constantly and trying new builds
>>744961269Do not fall for that anon, but it digital as it's cheaper and no need to talk to 3d pig.
>>744972314
>>744972445Bro do you know where you are?

>>744973368gn sis
>>744972728The ridiculous grind started on Splatoon 3. Seriously fuck the Splatoon devs (and the japs for liking long grinds) for making the Splatoon games so grindy.
Is there a version of the undercover brella in this? As in one that's rapid fire and the brella doesn't shoot off?
>>744973894After I played ff7 remake/rebirth with all cheats on I've been wondering why devs puts so much grind in their games anyways. Like in ACNH I don't play that game because I wanna grind for meaningless crafting materials, I just wanna design my island and have whatever villager I wants. But tons of games have meaningless grind for some reason. If I have fun I just wanna play the game and that's it, at least give me the options of cheats or something. But yeah, that's one reason why I dread Splatoon 4 as much as I love the series. I never played splatoon 1 but I played S2/S3 a ton and I really don't wanna get ability chunks again
>>744973894Catalogs were a mistake.
>>744972445Frye is busty though
>>744974052Unfortunately a lot of the grind in Raiders is mandatory. I used to be hopeful the Splatoon 4 would have grinding you can ignore but with Raiders making a lot of it a necessity I'm now worried that 4 will also have a lot more mandatory grind.
Still making my way through the game, and just came across a Strong-Arms for the first time and jesus what the fuck is this monstrosity
>>744974174It wasn't just the catalog. There was also grinding for money, chunks, badges, weapons, and capsules. You even had to grind in the story mode and side order.
>>744974476The coolest boss in my opinion. Literally when I saw it I thought the same thing
>>744974476Strong arms legitimately scared the shit out of me
>>744974476I really hope they won't add that fucking thing to Salmon Run in Splatoon 4. It's fucking scary ;_;
>>744973894>>744974052>>744974385I genuinely have no clue where any of these grind complaints stem from. Unless you’re playing solely to 100% and/or hard-focus on one thing out of 100+ possible drops, you’ll end up with all that you need before it even becomes a want/need>have 5* primo’s of every weapon I want>only got 2 weapons left to complete the weapon catalog>just need to rerun the post-game boss a few times for the salmonid field catalog>got all the gadget part drops, just need to craft the 4/5* parts>sitting on 4.5mil.+ shards, 70+ gems, 300+ of all gear ability chunks, and 500+ of every salmonid drop (half of them at 999), so none of that’s even an issueNo shit it’s gonna feel miserable if you’re seeking a specific weapon, but if you focus on having fun with what you got you’ll be fine. Even then you can improve your odds with the salt shaker/using the same weapon typeSplatoon Raiders is not a grindy game; hell, not even 3 is that grindy. It’s not the devs fault for your shit luck, it’s YOUR fault for not playing nearly enough and wanting instant gratification. Not to say it couldn’t be improved, but it’s not bad. And I don’t mean it’s not THAT bad, it’s not bad period. And if you hate it so much, then why don’t you just quit?
>>744975560I just want more Bombloons man
>>744975560>I genuinely have no clue where any of these grind complaints stem fromI play lots of games and just don't find any grind part to be interesting anymore, I've done it a billion times. I used to think the Animal Crossing youtubers were crazy for saying the grind was dumb but I side with them completely now. Sometimes you've finished an island and you just wanna make a new island but keep your old one because you put in so much effort. In Raiders I already got 1 completely finished build but I just wanna try all builds maxxed out and see what it's like. But I'm not gonna spend all those hours doing it just to grind for gems and shards. > it’s YOUR fault for not playing nearly enough and wanting instant gratificationBut it's not about instant gratification, that's missing the point. It's playing the game for what it is vs grinding. A lot of games are ABOUT the grind vs just playing it. I just find the grind tedious nowadays. Just look at Mario Kart World, there's no real grind in that game but it's still fun to just play it as it is.
>>744974174This was the worst part for me. I'm not the type to keep playing the same game all the time. 1 and 2 were nice since going back to them came with a lot of new things that had been released since the last time I played. However, on 3 felt bare bones because most of the new things that were out of season. The stores and things that could be ordered from other players was all the same things as on launch.>>744975560>Not to say it couldn’t be improved, but it’s not bad. And I don’t mean it’s not THAT bad, it’s not bad period.Being not bad isn't enough. There is no point to a game mechanic that doesn't make the game more enjoyable. The primo grind and leveling is a downgrade compared to what the game had before you unlocked level 5s, primos, and upgrading.
>>744971226>>744972191>>744972313Going for 100% must be an absolute miserable experience. I'm not even trying for that, I just want the few weapons I want left and the game refuses to let me have them. Don't know how much longer I'll go on before stopping.>>744973894>>744974174I hate that the japanese discovered battle passes. That shit must appeal so much to their grindy mindset.>>744975560>sitting on 4.5mil.+ shards, 70+ gems, 300+ of all gear ability chunks, and 500+ of every salmonid drop (half of them at 999), so none of that’s even an issueMotherfucker, you act like you don't get why people are complaining about grinding when you have a shitload of resources you could only have from like a full week of grinding. I'm close to 100 hours of Raiders and right now I'm only about 1 million shards just playing and trying to get 2-3 more weapons I want. And ALL of that is gonna disappear if I wanna upgrade any of them and/or finish up gadget parts. "Oh, it's not the dev's fault" It's absolutely 100% their fault, you dick-riding weirdo.
>>744976931It's also the gem grind that's infuriating
Why am I bored already when the game has been out for like 2 weeks?
The hoard milestone rewards could have easily been at least 10x bigger. Achieving Total Salmon Death and only getting THREE gems is pathetic.
>>744977360Not enough levels/dens
>>744977360We're done with the game, bro. You can keep playing indefinitely if you choose to, but that's all she wrote.
Oh god, running baygul with tactical tank is so shit, wtf... I have like no movement, and the only thing I have for ink resupply is the fucking hifiver, this tank is so shit, wtf. There's so many gadget parts left to farm...
>>744977247>It's absolutely 100% their fault, you dick-riding weirdo.Nah. It's also the fault of retards like the one you're replying to for encouraging it.
>>744977360because you're done with the game.and the only thing left is bottomless bbuffetwhich is basically playing salmon run eternally except solo (unless you make a room)That gets old fast
>>744977430Maxing out the salmonid research seriously only gives you 3 gems? Should've been 30, minimum. 50 is better, considering how much maxing out your weapons costs.>>744977668Can't have one without the other, I guess.
>>744977360no badges no titles no splashtag
>>744979297>no titlesUntrue, Frye's got some titties. But I still like Marina's better.
>>744977360because not every game needs to last forever
I like tactical. Auto trigger just feels so good :)
Byou Beach or BB 97-99 for gem drop rates?
>>744971070shiver...
Since Octo Expansion is recommended after playing Raiders, can I play it immediately or do I have to progress until a certain point like souls/pokemon games?
huh.>splatellites>>knockback>>uppercut>>vertical damagefound out this is a solid "stay the fuck away from me" tool for lesser salmonids instead of just a constant AoE damage aura
>>744979494didn't it get proven that frye's model does have bigger tits.
>>744983365I don't go all in on it with vertical damage, but I did start using the level 5 max uppercut. Even with just that you are untouchable by anything but bosses like you say and it is also more entertaining than it should be to swim through a group and see them fly up. It is a really nice quality of life skill to have.
>>744983708i think i'm still on the fencelike, i want to create some kind of "safe zone" like a big bubbler where myself and anyone i play with can wait out getting shatteredbut while this is decent enough, i wish spinwheels with their defense-up area actually had knockback or at least damage over that whole area instead of just on the actual gadget, to keep lesser salmonids out while still shielding damage from stingers and flyfishthe torqscrew comes close to what i want but the fact that its supposed to suck salmonids into its propeller rather then keeping them away makes them almost the opposite of what i'm looking for
>build based on moving around on the ground>some fuck drops his fan that takes up 80% of the map
>>744974476>>744974665Just think of it as four separate bosses that just like to hang out together. Makes it 100x easier to handle.
>>744974665I think it could make for a good special wave
>>744983395Who cares? Marina is still better.
i want to play this game, but i dont want to buy it
>>744973894The scales were fucking miserable in 3 and I don't know how that got past playtesting. Maybe because they always had dedicated teams>You have to build up your king salmonid meter and you might have a chance after completing a match>If any rando leaves though, there's no telling what their replacement has their meter at!Then you end up spending an hour praying a king shows up and when it does you get 10 bronze and feel like you just wasted your fucking time when all you want is a white reskin of your standard clothes
>>744984929lol no
I'm sad the grizzco weapons aren't in this, I thought it'd be fun to get to play around with them in singleplayer
>>744985103Borrow it from a friend :)
>>744985206You ARE the Grizzco weapon.
>>744974476Actual fucking jumpscare, it was amazing. You see it from a distance and you try to make out which of the bosses it is. Then you get up close and see that Tyrant looking motherfucker. Genuine goddamn freak of nature on an island full of freaks.
>>744985156Japs love grinding so it was Intentional.
>get the urge to play again>don't want to have to grind just to make a weapon not shit
>>744985156>Then you end up spending an hour praying a king shows up>only an hourlol
>>744985452>Japs love grindingEven they were complaining about the drop rate.
>>744975560>if you focus on having fun with what you got you’ll be finenigger I want to have fun with what I have but I can't because everything takes up fifty billion slots unless I get a fucking five star anything so I can finally equip a fun part
>>744985169Frye's cute in her own way but it's no contest at all.
>>744985692Marina is by far the worst idol Pearl and Frye are way better than her and I hate Pearl
>>744984929Atleast Frye's not a dyke
>>744983351I think you have to complete 2's main story to play OE.
>>744983395>>744985869are you being paid to be this much of a contrarian?
>>744985692marina's personality is obnoxious imo. frye is basically a tomboy older sister and thats more appealing to me
>>744985937why did you reply to me and another guy.
WARNING: Please do not post that gif of Shiver wiggling her tongue. It may be too much for some viewers.
>>744986017because you both sound retarded
>>744986051go and read your dyke fanfics or whatever
>dicking around helping people in raids>get primo LN2 splatling and splatanYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>744974476they're NOT as demented as they initially looktheir arms are enlarged, but what looks like grafting is just their jacketand when you shoot them off, they're not detached but still there, dangling like a deflated balloonthat said it would've been way funnier if it was just one really buff salmonid riding on another's shoulders
Look, I get it. You like Frye better than you used to, everybody does. But you can't erase the years and years of /v/ lusting after Marina and also shitting on Frye and her gigantic forehead. Don't act like it didn't happen, I was there.
>>744985937>NOOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE SAME SHIT TASTE AS MEEEEEEEEFuck off faggot.
im having fun with splatoon 2. should I just get 3 too?
