I'm really digging Splatoon 2 yo. I have a couple of minor annoyances, like that this could in all honestly have been Splatoon 1 for Switch and I legitimately wouldn't be able to tell the difference. But I'm not that pissed as the Wii U was a pain in the ass for me to use so I never played Splatoon 1 past the first week anyway, at least now I'll play it with the Switch.
Also seems to have gone to the MK8 Deluxe school of online connectivity, my last 4 games have each lost connection after a pretty flawless first 6 or so.
Pretty negative sounding post but I actually really like it. How is Sup Forums enjoying it?
>Could have been Splatoon 1.5 >Shit online connectivity like MK8D >Still awesome despite these
There you go OP, I just saved your wall of fucking text thread from being skipped over by impatient 12 year olds here
Lincoln Sanchez
Both of those complaints are wrong.
Cameron Perry
What? It's literally everything a sequel should be, and it's clearly different from the first game
Honestly you'd have to be legit retarded to have them side by side and not immediately tell them apart
Lucas Baker
Yeah I'm having tons of games drop out today but had been fine until now. Shits fucked
Ayden Baker
No one here is old enough to remember the era of arena shooters and how absolutely fucking nothing changed between versions and no one gave a fuck unless they broke everything.
Jace Foster

Thomas Brown
Good game, also feels identical to Splat 1. Like hub world and everything feels like what I played a couple of years ago, maps too
Still gonna put 300 hours into it
Sebastian Robinson
Objectively S1.5
Online is improved from MK8 tho, not perfect however
Nathaniel Cooper
Name a sequel to an online shooter that isn't exactly the fucking same as the last one.
Camden Brown
You know, for people saying this, it actually has more new shit than most online shooters sequels.
Camden Sanders
What sensitivity is the best in handheld mode? I can't find a good middle ground between too slow and too fast.
Henry Campbell
Would you really rather it be an enhanced full priced port?
Who cares
Carson Long
I never played Splatoon 1 but whenever Salmon Run is available I have a hard time choosing modes because I want to play them all. Either way, this horde mode has a lot of care put into it and is much more fun than in most other games.
Camden Parker
No problem here user
Asher Gutierrez
I only lost connection 2 times since the game released and I played like 20h already. Maybe its because my switch is really close to my router but either way I have had almost no problems.
Cameron Sanders
Even basic shitty sequels like most COD games looked aesthetically different despite being the same shit underneath. Hell the recent ones are all mechanically distinct too
Still shit though, don't wanna seem like I'm saying anything else. Splatoon is at least good
Isaac Jackson
Battlefield 4 > Battlefield 1
Daniel Collins
The same can't be said about quake and unreal, the only shooters that matter in life.
Isaiah Reyes
>my last 4 games have each lost connection
Literally its [your] issue. I have not lost a single connection.
>like that this could in all honestly have been Splatoon 1 for Switch and I legitimately wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
> I never played Splatoon 1 past the first week anyway
Its funny that you say this, its a really different game and every 1 veteran can tell the obvious differences. Its like comparing two different cars, they look similar but they are not. Even just for the different weapon sets, specials and maps you can tell the flow of the game is drastically different.
Levi Rogers
>1.5
Can't wait for Quake 1.3 or CIV 1.7.
Literally any sequel to anything is 1.X of the previous game if it's a good sequel. This meme needs to die.
Tyler Green
Reminder that all "port" talk is due to those retarded "leakers" who kep saying a Splatoon port was coming (along a Smash 4 port)
Daniel Rodriguez
Fuck this game.
Cameron King
They raped me and there was nothing I could do about it.
Luke Long
>blue and yellow
You truly lived the swede experience.
Parker Thomas
>Like heavy splatling >sting ray
Why is this special so garbage?
Kevin Lee
Count me down for shitty online too. Spiked the last few days. Games it totally a fullsequel tho
Gavin Rivera
I've played online matches at work, tethered to my smartphone's 4G and still not dropped a single match. Upgrade your third-world dial up or potato router user.
Colton Scott

Christian Myers
Git gud
Benjamin Brown
When is the next salmon run? Is there a site with counter for convenience or something?
Daniel Nelson
Kek at the old "blame the OP internet" shit itt
I saw the same shit on Mk8 threads. I have seen a lot of People say this today
Josiah Bailey
Well its that or calling Op a blatant retard + fagget
Hunter Richardson

Nathan Moore
Thanks dox
Michael Davis
I have had 3 disconnects today. For the record my internet is fine and running everything else normally, even tried Mk8 Online and it worked fine
Landon Flores
Am I the only one who can't stand motion controls?
Lincoln Green
Yes.
Jaxon Walker
Turned them off after 1 hour. Shit is terrible
They should really allow for a mix of both for the Y axis though rather than one or the other. X axis allows both
Evan Ward
Honestly, after playing ranked matches sinc release, i can say that the changes to ranked matches are all fantastic changes.
The glass break system allows you to reflect on how you lost your last match and gives you some chances to adapt to the stages or team strategy.
Its much more relaxing to play ranked now since you dont drop levels instantly like we used to in Splatoon 1.
Also, separating the ranks by game mode was also good to cause it makes it feel like you can focus on your favorite gamemode and not have to worry about losing ranks in the others.
My curent ranks A- in tower controll B+ in rain maker C+ in splat zones
I still feel that Splatzones is definetly the hardest ranked mode.
Splatzones actually requires good team synergy whereas you can be a solo player and team carry in rainmaker and tower controll while only focusing on killing.
In splat zones you have to actually focus on inking turf and making good smart pathways for you and your teamates
Andrew Hall
>Ink paths for your team No thats EVERY mode
I fucking hate when my teammates dont ink everything they can while theyre doing nothing but sitting on the objective. So many times Im trying to follow the tower, but it ventures in enemy ink while the guy on the tower is just sitting in squid mode.
Bentley Nelson
Are you using the pro controller or detached joy cons?
Wyatt Campbell
>Sup Forums told me this game was bad >It's great wtf
Luke Davis
/vee/ has either shit or the best taste.
Mason Rogers
Do you people seriously want to recalibrate the camera every five seconds that badly?
Isaiah Jackson
>Shit online connectivity like MK8D What, Ive played like 20 hours of S2 online so far and not had a single connectivity issue. MK8s servers are fucking garbage, but S2 doesnt have any of the issues MK8 did
Blake Taylor
Tried in handheld and docked with pro controller. Really hate that your "zero" can't be changed, it's always at 45 degrees. I just went back to using the sticks.
Dominic Bennett
Same shit, different setting.
Owen Peterson
>No thats EVERY mode no its really not.
In tower controlll and rainmaker, kills are far more important than wasting time trying to be mr sneaky trying to make a path on the other side for the fucking map.
The further away you are from the tower/rainmaker makes it easier for the enemy to get there hands on them.
Step up you game,pleb, and quit holding back your teammates in rain maker and tower controll
Joseph Rogers
WHY DOES IT KEEP MATCHING ME WITH THESE 20+ LEVEL MIN-MAXERS
THE GAME'S ONLY BEEN OUT FOR LIKE A WEEK
THE ONLY WEAPONS THEY USE ARE AEROSPRAY AND SPLATERSHOT-TYPE'S
Oliver Flores
>Even basic shitty sequels like most COD games looked aesthetically different despite being the same shit underneath. They were never going to change the aesthetic. It's a huge part of the game's identity. And despite it stylistically being more of the same it still looks pretty different - they completely redid the lighting, for example. It's not a drastic difference but there are a lot of little changes that add up. It looks familiar to those who have played 1, but it also looks better.
Of course that's to say nothing of all the gameplay changes, which also are mostly pretty small on the surface, but again, they add up. Ultimately I'd say Splatoon 2 is a natural and satisfying evolution of 1 (though that's not to say it doesn't have plenty of issues).
Kevin Sanders
I always hold the controller just slightly upwards before pressing Y and then ease it down to "regular" position
Julian Bennett
Painting the map is area denial, and is pretty much necessary if you plan on pushing forward. Which all of the gametypes require
Adrian King
is it me, or are the pay increases in ranked only good if you KO
Landon Wood
...Well this explains why everyone here doesn't know what they're talking about at all times. Everyone in Sup Forums confirmed for children who know nothing.
Tyler Brown
It can. Hold the controller at a comfortable position then press Y. I find that tilting the controller slightly upwards from your position then pressing Y works best.
Leo Carter
No, it's always shit taste. Name one time when Sup Forums was right about something.
Camden Carter
>2 kills with the N Zap >First place out of all teammates Let me guess, you spent more time inking turf than controlling territory/splatting enemies. Learn your role.
Robert Sullivan
Rainmaker is the hardest, imo, cause every moron wants to grab the thing despite having no idea of where to take it. Plus, it can end in 30 seconds if they are stupid enough to die or leave a route open at the beginning.
I can't wait til ranks stabalize more as the playerbase of ranked grows and people get more experience. Right now I've had so many matches like pic related and we still lost because my teammates are just so incompetent
Jeremiah Baker
Well, it only centers the camera, I can't play while laying down because of the 45 degree bullshit.
Luis Parker
Information is displayed in the game.
Oliver Bailey
Ya'll got a place to set up matches?
Lincoln Foster
>every moron wants to grab the thing despite having no idea of where to take it I haven't really experienced this that often. In fact in most matches I've played in 2 it seems like nobody wants to take it, including me, but somebody has to do it eventually.
Alexander Gutierrez
>Not being able to solo carry your team >At fucking C rank Wow, are people actually this bad?
William Cox
>level 14, decide to finally try out ranked mode >win the first match of splat zones hey this is pretty interesting >mode changes, we tower control now >win 4-5 matches in a row >get to B- wow nice, I thought I would pass though C and C+ first >lose the next match oh, nice I didn't lose points in the ranking >keep losing >the bar cracks okay, just one more match >win some matches but lose a ton of them fuck, one more >the bar keeps cracking and finally, I go back to C+ rank >slowly climb my way back up to B- And this is how I spent the last 3 hours and a half I love this game
Jose Moore
If his team mates had 0 points, it was likely that they all got disconnected.
Jayden Collins
I have a switch being delivered tomorrow. Never had a Wii u so excited to try mario fart and Splatoon. Seems like it will be comfy to play random stuff in bed with.
Aiden Jones
>learn your role >all the rest of his team disconnected What did he mean by this?
Colton Thomas
The worst part is having the enemy team take the rainmaker on Sturgeon to your left side, then seeing your teammates try and match it by going right. When left is pretty much a straight shot and gains points the fastest. I don't deserve these losses, but I get them anyway.
Gabriel Wood
>Game yesterday, losing >We get the rainmaker >Have a straight shot at taking the lead >Rainmaker goes solo in a different direction than the whole team and gets splatted >He stole the rainmaker from me by a split second
I almost broke my joycon grip that game.
Eli Evans
>get top score in rank >Keep winning >Don't get a skip Why?
Noah Jackson
Rainmaker is the worst solo mode because you can't really solo carry it. You can't pass the rainmaker off to anyone else, and your slaying power is severely limited when you're playing the objective. If your teammates don't know optimal routes, you lose.
Hunter Evans
I bet people losing connectivity play on wifi
you faggots are retarded, videogames stream so much fucking data that with wifi you'll lose tons of packets, use a fucking ethernet adapter already
Dominic Ross
Dude, I don't know how to tell you this, but you are color blind. Good news is that you can still live a relatively normal life.
Carter Bennett
it's not that bad, I got a pretty decent rhythm of shooting the rainmaker then swimming.
I play on Wifi and havn't dropped a match
Cameron Perez
...
Parker Allen
well bluish and yellowish
There so few orange it looks somewhat yellow
Nolan Phillips
It's based on your MMR. Pay attention to the power level at the bottom left of the screen during the intro animation.
Levi Johnson
>have 50-50 winrate in rainmaker >go from C- to B- This system is weird.
Anthony Clark
I enjoy this game, but only when Nintendo's servers decide I'm allowed to fucking play it.
I've been dc'ed from my last 5 matches, I've got the warning 2 matches ago and now I'm afraid to even try playing again since I'll just get banned for this bullshit. The Switch is literally the only device I have that does this shit, everything else I have has absolutely no issues maintaining a connection. So either it's Nintendo's shit servers or it's Nintendo's shit hardware, but I'm sure you cunts will defend constant connection errors anyway.
Brandon Cruz
kek
Jackson Stewart
Werks for me ;^T
Hunter Anderson
works on my machine ;)
Angel Murphy
Get an ethernet adapter.
Adam Torres
No, the wifi in the Switch is pretty shit. Try 5GHz if you can or get an ethernet adapter.
There aren't any. That's just importing a hacked Mii from the 3DS or Wii U.
Christian Baker
>Painting the map is area denial, and is pretty much necessary if you plan on pushing forward. Which all of the gametypes require
Yes, in turf war and splat zones.
It doesn't matter in rain and tower because its just wasting time and you are leaving your team 1 man short you numbskull!
Jayden Rogers
>Try 5GHz if you can >only have one device on 5ghz >it runs like a fucking dream while everyone else complains that their 2.4ghz devices have shitty connections wired is still better
Dominic White
>not inking ground to get your special ready for when you reach the tower
Samuel Russell
It literally does matter. Good luck pushing objective forward when the enemy has their entire field in their color, and have the advantage of seeing you before you can see them. Obviously painting backfield during a push is retarded, but not painting forward will just cause you to lose once you get out of the Cs.
Christian Peterson
My minor annoyances: >no dual squalchers >not enough weapons with regular old splat bombs
Cooper Butler
I haven't won a single game
Ayden Perry
>they add dual squelcher in an update in 6 months >they give it the shittiest combo of sub/special possible
Ryan Sanders
They better fucking not. It's already enough suffering having Toxic Mist as the Jet Squelcher's sub.
Joseph Williams
Why is it always Rainmaker?
Owen Anderson
>this could in all honestly have been Splatoon 1 for Switch and I legitimately wouldn't be able to tell the difference What?
