Well I finally got my helicopter figure no one will see since lockers are too small to actually put most of the shit you can earn in them.
>>568971220ggs f. thanks for joining. Gonna try for 9
>>568971289Good luck.
what will be the locker equivalent in Raiders?
they should add apartments.
>>568971427Base management and decor.

>>568973592oh to get mercilessly beaten up by shiver and frye...
>>568973592I hope big man gets actual animations in raiders instead of awkwardly waddling around like he always did in 3
>>568973592me when I die and get resurrected as shiver' and frye's boy toy/victim/composer
big man is so flat because he's shiver and frye's sofa
>>568973592Hot.
>>568971940>just off screen, Mechanic covered in oil, sweating and frazzled, with multiple salmon bite wounds
>>568975580>>568973592Why is shiver built like a man?

salmon loving woomy was outside the Inkopolis Museum today protesting the theft of salmonid totems from their traditional sites.
I got a couple HLMs, but in the end I couldn't get the 9s. I should've gotten back home earlier
>>568975832artstyle dumbass

Can I join the discord?
>>568978691>marie catching me fapping to her BBOC debut
>>568978791i want someone to take one for the team and stay at 500.0 for the whole X season just so we can see how many players are left, i'm sick of the dead game narrative
>>568979007there is no discord
>>568979174only harmony
>>568979007they are all invite-only private servers
>>568979562Anyone I can DM?
>>568979007>inb4 someone posts Dot's dead server again
Ok starting out this season playing everyday to try and cure my depression. I even bought a daily journal dedicated to this season.
>>568979007do you like jpop or kpop?
>>568979107you can basically take my numbers and add maybe 200/300 to them. theres very very few people down here, because the way you get this low is by continuing to play despite being unable to reach a 50% winrate anywhere in the matchmaking poolhaving been at 500, it's basically the same numbers
>>568979810Play other games as an antidepressant. Splatoon will do the opposite.
>2 swim speeds + ninja speed + 52galYup it's gaming time
>>568979817kpop
No-skill weapons:all blastersall galsdynamosall brushesall normal rollersagree or disagree?
>>568982103Anything that isn't single target, yes. So that also includes bomb spam or special farming builds.
>>568982103What’s the most braindead kit that I can rank up with?
>>568982103Disagree
I forgot I had a 12-month 0% interest financing on my switch 2 until I noticed it was expiring soon. So I actually “own” my switch 2 now
>>568982441sort of depends, but overall, i'd say custom blaster right now
>>568982441I've seen complete ape-brained retards dog walk entire lobbies with cblaster because the other team can't play around its range.
Did you accomplish any goals this gold rotation? I finally got lucky and killed the triumvirate at Hazard Level Max.
>>568982441neo luna or custom blaster
>>568982103splatanas
Raiders was one of the initial concepts for 3's story mode but got scrapped and repurposed into Raiders.
>>568982736I might do this but not pay it back. Basically a free switch 2.
>>568983665No one said this.
>>568983716I mean you probably could honestly. Just ignore the collection calls for 7 years, then you’re off the hook(no pun intended)
all right time to pass out
yep *jumps to water* PAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEE
>>568983665I hate frye' stupid ass socks.
No fatties allowed beyond this point
>>568987786haha yeah she should take them off and give them to me i will dispose of them haha
No panties allowed beyond this point
i just had an ideaa brella that can't close its shield, it always launches after you stop holding the buttonit also explodes when it expires (but not when it's broken), and its lifetime is limited so you can make it explode at a particular distance or even in your hands if you hold it long enough (expiration time when held in hand counts for double, same as health depletion)
>>568989510that's an upgrade in raiders.
>>568989510i want a brella with lethal contact damage (or near lethal)one where the "shotgun" does really low damage but the brella itself launches off super fast and can run people over
>>568990325blob
>>568990445not even remotely the same thing
Welp I preordered Raiders physical instead of digital. I wonder if I’ll regret it
>>568990518Cancel it?
>>568921054Nah, ironically HLM is typically easier because people who get up there typically know what to do. It just wasn't the case this time.>>568977829That was a fair effort. Were these your first HLM shifts? And was that Tri kill on HLM? If yes, then it was worth it just for that. And now you have a leg up starting another attempt - if you do it during a normal rotation then you'll know that you have truly earned that badge.Pic is my climb, starting with the last shift we did last night. Took a little over 3 hours. Had a bit better luck with freelancers than last night, but still not exactly a smooth ride. Not a single Tri kill this whole time either lol
>>568990445blob's "shotgun" does really high damage at close range, just hard to aim
Do you think fishfucking will become more popular after Splatoon Raiders releases?
>>568991685i dont really remember if those hlm tris were kills. I was more focused on the climb than the tris lol
>>568992527I hope so
>no patch for new seasondead game
>>568992527Maybe, I think that raiders is a playtest for 4's SR. Maybe they'll add charm buffs or something like that
>>568992849It's been dead for two years.
>>568992527i'm already thinking about making my mechanic a fishfucker
>>568992527depends on if they humanize the salmonids or try to make us feel any empathy towards them but they haven't so far
>>568992762Talking about the one at 875, if it was at HLM you should have gotten a grizzco helicopter statue for it.
>>568992849They started doing balance patches halfway through the month but I wouldn't count on it anytime soon because of the NA League thing.
>>568993252It wasn't just a 231 lol
>>568992527Yes because they're adding salmonlings
>people not knowing bucket can one-shot fishsticks and flyfish>people not knowing bucket can shoot through drizzlers and other armor>people not knowing bucket can kill gushers>people using bucket to kill single smallfry>people not knowing dualies can one-shot fishsticks>people not knowing splatana can one-shot almost everything>people expecting splatana to solo a fishstick next to the basket>people using roller vertical swings to shoot down coolers during mothership instead of running eggs>people running eggs during mothership instead of using charger to shoot down coolers>people not using cannons during cohock charge like at fucking allSometimes I feel like I live in a simulation.
>>568996894That last bit kills me. Someone did something with the ink, because I refuse to believe everyone in evp forgot cannons are good
keep woomying and nobody explodes!
be nice to your ceph
Woomy deserves better than me...
>>568997758I treat my woomy to the most tasteful teehees.
>no more grizz weapon rotWhat do I do now?
>>569002842draw two woomys
>>569004759I can't draw.
>>569005060yet
post your woomy or this thread will die in your sleep
we live in a post woomy society
>>569011503Floppy floppas.
we live in a pre woomy society
>Salmonids do trade with Octolings>Salmonids remember smells very well>Octolings join Inklings in their invasions of Salmonid territory and theft of Golden Eggs>Salmonids will remember the smell of Octolings fighting alongside Inklings>Salmonids are sentient and one of the Grizz Co.'s spokespersons is an Octoling that publicly advocates for Total Salmon Death>Big Runs are happening more and more frequently and are also getting more severe>Deep Cut and the Mechanic think it's a good idea to invade Salmonid territory to kill and stealThese retards are going to cause the second Great Turf War.
>>569014142Don't the Octarians trade with Sloms?
>>569014142octolings != octarians
>>569011503she
>>569014646they are the same in my eyes, both need to be exiled back into the sewers.
ocks go home back to kettle
Where the raiders news?
>>569014142When asked about this, octoling only had this to say>Veemo.
>>569015941>>569016305>t.
>>569014646How are Octolings enrolled in the Octarian Military supposed to smell differently to Octolings that live in Inkling society?They wouldn't stop smelling like an Octarian just because they stopped working for them, because the Salmonids are smelling Octopus all the same.
>>569016920Soon.
I hate how they keep making player character's older and older, old cephs are gross. We shouldn't be playing as some hag with a job.
>>569017998how woomy get money if no job?
>>569018775turf war
>>568992527Tim...
>>569014142>>569015941>>569016305LOLLLLLLLL RACISMXDDD
squids be like "I'm not racist" and then proceed to engage in genocidal activities against salmonids
>>569019528based, can't be racist anymore if you exterminate all the other races
>>569019386sybau </3
>>569019589frieza...
WAKE UP WOOMY
>>568996894>people not knowing dualies can one-shot fishsticksby rolling off the top?
>>568996894reminder that there are living beings who walk among us that genuinely believe grizzco slosher is the worst grizzco weapon.
Happy WoomVeem month
>>569025590Yes. If a charger or stringer paints it for you for easy access, you know you're probably in a good company. >>569025940It has the steepest learning curve for sure, and probably highest skill ceiling too (maybe only after splatana), and requires at least some proactive looking after from the team to stay mobile. No excuse to not know that after 2+ years though.
Nerfs imminent.
>>568996894Splatana can also kill maws while they're underground.
>>569025940It's probably the one that leads the most to deaths from overextending because of how ink hungry it is. Never stray far from your ink with it.
>>569020052>unironically using sybaumouth breathing retard, abort yourself
>>569027752the japs do love their gachas, that's the only reason I can see to use that RNG meme machine
>>569027752why did ngmi buff its shot velocity anywayit's not even like the fizzy buff where you could argue he didn't understand the implications, it's just a buff to "compensate" for a small, although justified and very long overdue, efficiency nerf that merely put it in line with the rest
>>569028532.52 is extremely consistent thoughthat's why it dominates in that list, high x power requires ungodly amounts of grinding and consistency
>>569027967Oh?
>>569028898Charged slash.
>>569028967Must be tricky to position to hit it on the move (without getting chomped right after), considering it moves pretty fast and full charge is very slow. Wonder if it's worth the effort of chasing it even if it hits for 999.Do you have a video showing it? I don't think I've ever seen it done in practice.
>>569025108awake, but at what cost
fluffy blueberry pancakes
>>569029434I've intercepted them a few times while they chase after someone else. It's satisfying to say the least.
>>569027570why wait around for this when you can>roll from the ground to get enough range to paint high enough on the stick to reach the top solo>use that range and fire rate to kill the fish before climbing>take the time to collect and fire all the eggs off of the top>make the shift more difficult, and therefore more fun, by manufacturing these 4 seconds of low dualies efficiency
>>569032856my wife
Which idol would make the best girlfriend? My vote is for Callie
>>569034098Marie is low maintenance.
>>569034098marina both shares geek interests and is outgoing, seems a good pairing for anyone not outgoing like mesurely she would be impressed by my mad CSS skillz, surely
>>569034098Callie, Marie, and Marina give stock standard tradwife vibes. Callie being the soccer mom and Marie/Marina being the kind of reserved house chore oriented type. Regular suburban family coded relationship.Pearl seems kind of freak sex goblin coded, like she's horny but nobody wants to fuck her and because of that she would probably go ravenous freak mode on your willy. Outside of the bedroom she would be more of a bro than a partner. Frye would probably fit this too.I don't get relationship vibes from Shiver.
Callie is not "tradwife" Callie only cares about burger and fries and twirling around.
>>569034098callie's demeanor is deceptive, but you'll probably be very well off if she lets you see her real self and not the ditzy persona she puts up to hide her power level. marie is a bit of a dork, but should be very livable with. forget girlfriend, marriage proposal in two months material.marina would be great if she wasn't an interspecies lesbian.pearl would make for a great bro if she wasn't an interspecies lesbian. terrible girlfriend all around.shiver requires swift application of a knee to the face to put her in her place, followed by stockholm syndrome submissive girlfriending. frye would be too high energy for me but there are people who can sustain that puppy. big man would give the best hugs.
>>569034098frye because she'd be like a guy in a girl's body with a cute voice. no girly drama or whatever, just bro things, as long as you can handle a few punches to the face that is.
>>569042605What if Frye ate all your food and then broke your nose with her fat belly hanging out and called you a pussy for not seeing the fun in it.
>>569043012Why she hobbit
>>569043012Sex.
>>569043012This is how Marie normally dresses. Just sweating and lounging around, fanning herself. Drinking questionable amounts of wine.
>>569043012boobs too big, she does not have marina/frye sized boobs.
Maries massive huge big big boobs (huge).
Jarvis, get me the milk math on Marie's mammaries
>>569043297In a just world hers would be that large and theirs would be even larger.
Marie hates her gigantic ink sacs. They annoy her.
>>569043694did captain propose to her?
marie usually has bigger tits in fanart. I prefer when callie has the bigger tits but its extremely rare.
>>569028194u mad bro?
>>569045803Callie has a larger ass, we've been through this. Nogami will back me up.
>>569046398
>>569046398Callie likes to pick up innocent unassuming weyyos.
>>569047448No weyyo could resist those hips.
Perfect Body vs Milk Tea is Splatfest material.

>>569055739the only gay character is you, the player

>>569049706No longer helpful now that geeked up Novas is 90% of blasters you come across.
im proudof being a shitter
>>569034098Callie's octo fetish got to the point that she was tattooed, making propaganda and trying to kill a new agent, she's got bad juju even if she was mind controlled because she still keeps those hypnoshades in her purse.

>>569101086ah yes, let's introduce more safe non-commital terrain-ignoring movement abilities into a game explicitly designed around limiting your movement unless you set up>but it's fun!it's shitty cheap fun, good fun must be earned
>>569102014nigger it's a single player game
>>569101086wtf is shiver doing over there
>>569102165so? if anything, a singleplayer game design should be even more restrictive and hostile to the player, to compensate for lack of intelligent opponents

>>569102014the game is pretty obviously going to have a very high ceiling of pressure and density and there's going to be the opportunity cost of not having any one of the other inktank ability mods

they should put a portal right there

>>569102652There's no inherent challenge if I have to self impose restrictions, retardeating soup with a fork is not good intended design
Just updated the certificate for the booru! Sorry for the downtime.
>>569104025but it's a salmon run game
>>569103945>>569103945>most disappointing $30For me, it's Mega Dimensions.
>>569102786mindbroken
>>569104098which is a single player game with extremely optional multiplayeryou dumb fuck
>>569103945if the far left has ground a tower could probably shoot just over the slope but maybe can get some gushers too to make the portal harder to get to unless you have range chips :)
>>569104098no it isn'tit's never been a salmon run game, there's not even any evidence that it will be a salmon run next wave replacementsalmon may be the enemies but that's mostly just out of convenience I feel like a lot of /ink/ is going to be severely disappointed when it ends up being a linear singleplayer campaign with incidental multiplayer support
>>569104246NO NO NO MAKE IT STOP
>>569104393The salt crystals on these islands have.... merged with the salmon and made... salmonid trees that spawn... little homing smallfry that fly toward you and explode on impact???
I'd like to collect Harmony.
you people are so mindbroken from side order being just ok it's almost sad
>>569104743(You)r attention for tonight
>>569104743>How DARE you expect a product coming from a multi-million dollar company to be halfway decent!
>>569104743i like side order, it's no octo expansion but i 1000%ed it (got all the chips to three notches), im just toying around
>>569104883and it was?i'm confident raiders learned the right lessons
I have anti-Side Order fatigue.
>>569104528ehh now i'm not scared anymore, just disappointed
1000 higher than my x power how
>>569105642I don't think series power are tied to your actual X power and might just use the standard 1800 baseline.
>>569104082Thanks anon.
Side order was so bad because 3's normal updates were so anemic. If it made sense where the dev time was going, people would be more okay with it. But it just being "ok" feels like they, in trying to juggle two things at once, dropped both.Side order looks polished, but sheen doesn't make up for substance especially when it was marketed as infinitely replayable.
>>569106296yea makes sense, just surprising to see it not be 1200 for once
>>569106708I didn't like OE. I didn't like SO. Surely Raiders will be different.
>>569106708side ordrer was so bad because they fucked up the gameplayit would have been bad regardless because gameplay is the first thing a game should nail before doing literally anything elsethat's what made splat1 so good, they had a fun paint game up and running and then they made woomy to suit it, while side order feels like they made the aesthetics and then hurriedly tried to make it into a game
>>569106708they weren't though
>play some open for the catalog daily>three dynamos in two games
>>569099156this reminds me of when that oled trailer dropped that had a tiny bit of splat 3 gameplay
>no cannons or ride rails in 3's pvpBig disappointment
everything about side order is at least a little interesting on paper, but none of it synergises into a fun gamethere isn't enough stage or enemy variety to support anything close to a 1000% playthroughthe mechanical limits of chips are mostly just numerical buffs on standard kit properties which are rarely if ever particularly interesting or novel no matter how much they might exceed the standard splatoon power ceilinghacks are mostly just numerical buffs on armor, lives, damage given and taken, and resource margins - another unfulfilled mechanical opportunityeach individual enemy has unique properties and behaviours, but because they just kind of spill out of portals in large groups and wander towards the player at similar speeds, they rarely present coherent nor (ironically) orderly obstacles or challenges with clear counterplays, tending every single engagement towards "just dump damage on them indiscriminately to kill them all as quickly as possible"even the most unique enemies like the spinning top dudes and the springboard dudes turning into tools to use against the enemy hordes are in practice just "walk into it to deal more AOE damage in front of you", which is functionally no different than what the player already does, and "quickly gain some height" which is almost always useless because you can't shoot while hovering, you don't move notably faster while hovering with the Pearldrone, and (because enemy engagements are almost always reduced to shooting everything immediately until they die) there's little opportunity or reason to kite enemies and arrange a situation where gaining that height in that location at that moment gives you access to that nearby ledgethe structure is fine, the story is fine, the aesthetics are good, the systems are functional and provide some modicum of depth and meaningful opportunity costs... but every moment of actually playing it is the least fun Splatoon-related thing you could possibly be doing
>>569111405100%ing octo canyon is 10x more tedious than playing through side order and you are lying if you think otherwise
>>56911156925%ing Side Order is more tedious than 100%ing any of the campaigns
>>569111680you have not 100%d octo canyon
>>569102458spawncamping scrappers
>>56911177125%ing Side Order is also more tedious than 90%ing Octo Canyon
>>569111874it isn't, and you haven't done that either
>>569111405i think you're missing the point of side order as a wholeside order's entire gimmick, its point, is upgrading your weapon into this superpower by your own rules, and taking it into relatable similar challenges where you generally know what to expect, but approach it from differing anglesi think side order's biggest issue (next to needing just.. like 30% more of everything) is that it makes it too easy for people to just... not seek this out, just select the first option every time, get all the hacks, and just brain off everythingi highly highly recommend doing some runs where you only take one color of chip. it forces you to actually think about your choices, instead of just brain off i guess i just dpsmaxxxxx itif that's not for you, that's not for you, and i get that. they had to do something different than just the "theres levels with challenges" and i respect italso if you're just going for the octo shot that's not tedious, don't be ridiculous now. are you really telling me you know the tower in and out enough by then? no, because you're not even bothering to learn it
>>569111405The least fun Splatoon related thing you could be doing is doing all of Octo Canyon.I enjoyed doing all of the Side Order palettes FAR more than this because every run was at least a little different.Octo Canyon asks you to go through 32 stages NINE times with no variation whatsoever.
>>569111976>>569112559at least Octo Canyon has varied stage designs and visuals to break up the monotony>>569112241>side order's entire gimmick, its point, is upgrading your weapon into this superpower by your own rules, and taking it into relatable similar challenges where you generally know what to expect, but approach it from differing anglessure, but this is still boring because all you really do in every case is shit out lots of damage in whatever volumetric shape your weapon creates and spend resources to try to roll into the chips that make your damage-shitting volume shape betterit's pure spectacle with hardly any actual substance or tactical weighti like Balatro, i like Vampire Survivors, i like Slay the Spire, i like Hades, but i cannot even force myself to like Side Order, because instead of starting with nothing and giving me a neat roguelike game with really cool movement and ballistic mechanics and a decent power ceiling, it's started with the strong and refined tactical edges and pressures of Salmon Run and Splat Zones and Tower Control and sanded them down to a featureless grey-and-black mass that only ever asks me to deal more damage in a larger area faster than i was before and never gives me any tools to do anything else
>>569113625the varied stage designs in question being floating platforms for the second time in a row and offering nothing visually new to the table?
>>569113727i'd take that over 30 grey cube arenas with a couple ramps
>moves the goalpost
Anyone awake for 1king fish?
>>569114318Octo Canyon is not funSide Order is even less fun than that
>toss clams near the goal>the frontliner missed 1 clam and kept attacking>do it again the next push>two power clams to victorySometime they're cool.

This is the end, beautiful friend. The post you've all been waiting for - sorry, life got in the way again. The final set was collected on the last day of the season. With that, no major swings or surprises. Slight downward trend for the octos, breaking the magic barrier of 0.5 - twice as many bad posts as the good ones - by a thousandth fraction. Slight improvement for squids, but not quite enough to reach a clean 1:1 ratio. No effect on the global ratio which has always hovered around 0.7.Few observations:- The hypothesis of who the primary bad posters were was confirmed, but the spread from worst (69%) to best (49%) was less than I thought.- Woomies did worse than I expected, for a few days falling behind weyyos, only fully recovering towards the end. - I expected a lot more good art with signatures, but what's most surprising is yebbies having about 4x more entries in this category than others. A working theory is that a lot of technically good signed art failed due to falling into one of the bad categories. - Weyyos stand out with about half the amount of plain bad art, and about 50% more blog posts compared to others.- Veemos definitely the most attention craving, but again not as drastically more per capita as expected - it only stands out more due to being double in absolute numbers.- Very few "libshit" posts - I guess waiting for the new $currentThing directives.- It is now scientifically confirmed that it is NOT gay to be a yebby.- Yebbies also confirmed to be the most God fearing, while woomies notably remain fully secular.In the end, this was all just silly fun. But it's also surprising that there WERE some very clear trends, which probably say something about the mentality of the people choosing the particular ceph your. What though, I'll leave that to everyone's own interpretation.There will be no June follow-up, for I am weary and do not want to get disappointed in everyone.This is the end, my only friend. The end.
>>569134651I would really like to see long term statistics for this. Maybe I'll do it in splatoon 4
>>569138117The way I did it in S3 it takes less than 10 minutes daily if you don't do the write-up each time. But if I could have one wish come true for S4 it's that there would be no social posting of any kind at all. And if there has to be, then with full, very strict and extremely prejudiced moderation. I'm pretty sure they did that for the Grand Festival, unless they were all pre-cooked posts by Nintendo themselves.
>>569139701nah, grand festival just had so many posts that there were enough good ones that people liked and pushed to the top. outside of that peak there's less posts so more bad ones can be seen, sometimes so few that you can report a dozen bad posts and start seeing default graffiti
>>569139701noplayer made plaza graffiti is part of the game's world, it wouldn't be the same without iteven if it was just a premade set provided by the devs, it would still feel incredibly empty, look at S2's plaza right now>but it's all just political shitUSETHEJPPLAZA
It's pride month, shouldn't you be celebrating as a faggot?

>>569099156is the thing below the special meter supposed to be a health bar?
>>569143165smells like well, an xp bar, having the icon of the weapon it's probably contextual per weapon, you can see the player get some xp, i reckon itll give you upgrades or somethingi don't see how it'd be a health bar
>>569144205i am retarded and just woke up actually yeah that could be a health bar, all the ui does indicate it, the red/white delta transitioni wonder if it's your own health or maybe it's shiverbot's? the weapon being there throws me off

Why the fuck is there no Raiders pro controller? Resident Evil had one!
>>569102014>noooo it has to use the exact same rules as the multiplayer game noooooo i don't want any unique and fun experiences for the spinoff it has to be all the same design philosophies i headcanon'd
>>569145843it has to play into its own mechanics, not against themsplat's singleplayers historically have a pretty big problem with that, the ink mechanics are designed for back-and-forth interactions but very few stages across the five campaigns we've had actually utilize them that way, many stages are just platformer levels with extra tedium of painting yourself a path, and vast majority of enemies are barely a threatraiders, being singleplayer salmon run, has potential to actually bring the game's core mechanics to light outside of multiplayer enviroment, but it's all nil if they let you not engage with the mechanics in the first place
I felt attacked when the new Star Fox trailer showed the sub shoot a woomy.
>>569102014>safeIt doesnt look like it has iframes. Moves like these in games are risky because you plant yourself in danger if it doesnt kill. Its the same as a decav attack but in the air.
In 2050 there will be a game called "Splatoon" where the squids are hyper realistic.
>>569149707>>569149707this gritty hyper realistic splatoon will bomb so hard that theyll make a game called SplatGirls thats a hyper lewd anime gacha game

>>569147032>splat's singleplayers historicallygood thing this is a spinoff and isn't bound by the mainline games.didn't read the rest because you're clearly incapable of thinking past what you're used to.
So far this is expanded open-zone salmon run with collectaphon elements and octo expansion/ return of the mammalian style "dungeon" levels.
>>569161081Also know as playing something fun.
>>569161081i don't understand how any of this is supposed to lend itself to co-op even slightly
>>569161703I assume co-op will be the slom elements. co-op will not involve the dungeon levels.
>>569161703If only there was a direct at E3 that could tell us.
I’m playing raiders by myself not with any of you.
>>569161841yeah but even then, the lives mechanic feels like an awkward fit vs slom revives
Agent 4 will return.
>>569161954Name?
>>569162161I shall return to kill fish oh and to rescue out lost agents too.

>>569166031Once more a ball shall be kicked around in the sky.
have woomies ever fallen from having their flops tangled?
I can't wait for more raiders footage in this state of play
Why don't cephs just fight bare handed if they're physically strong enough to cause splashdowns?
>>569168910how else are they going to charge up their special meters?
>>569168910Woomy never took kung-fu classes when she was younger. To busy on the vidya all she knows is shooters.
God of war man should beat the fuck out of a woomy during the state of play
>>569168910My woomy got in trouble once for swinging another woomy by her flopper to strike other woomies. I told them this is usual flopshredder behavior but it fell on deaf ears.
>>569169256She can look up capoeira lessons from a smartphone app.
