Splatoon thread

New Splatfest announced:
Flying heroes vs. Invisibility villains
Be sure to squidbag all invisiblityfags!

Flying:
>No guarantee you'll move faster than you normally would
>Everyone sees you do it
>No real practical use outside of saving you from dying in a fall or some really odd jobs you probably don't want to have anyways
>All the news cameras turn to you, you get arrested for breaking some obscure no flying law, scientist study you trying to figure it out
>Someone shoots you for being a freak

Invisibility
>No one needs to know you have it
>Can hide it very well by definition of what the power does
>Practical for legal uses, mischief, or crimes
>Can save your life in more situations

Another general? Don't these belong on /vg/?

So what will the splatfest colors be?
Water (invisibility) vs ?

Blue/purple for flight and green for invisibility. Water is not a color.

Invisible ink. They automatically lose

it's always the colors of the background, so it's like a bluish purple for flying and green for invisibility

OC

>Water is not a color
Yeah I explained myself wrong. I just meant that one team would shoot water even if that would be confusing as hell to distinguish.

These

Just imagine all the devious shit you could do if you were invisible.

...

>shoot water
>run out of water
>can't submerge into the water because inklings die in it
>have to stand around like a sitting duck waiting for ink tank to refill because you can't hide in the water since you'd just be killing yourself
What a great idea.

>Pros: Able to commit suicide at any moment
This is the first one of these pictures to genuinely make me laugh.

>Can hide it very well by definition of what the power does
yeah, but can you make your clothes invisible, or do you need to be naked to do it?

So will team invisible have invisible ink?

Air

aw you just brightened my day, lad

Here's a good one.

Invisibility 1000x if you can master it to not make your entire body invisible.

>girls don't suspect you grabbed their ass when you have no arms
>Airport gives you special treatment when you have no legs
>you can be the headless horseman for Halloween
>you can wear armor and pretend it's possessed
>You can make everything but your arm invisible and pretend you're Thing from the Addams Family.
>You can wear some shoes and do some sick looking tap dance performances
>You can dress up like an Ayy and make it look like you're riding a mini-flying UFO by making your legs invisible
>you can make everything but your bones invisible to terrorize Sup Forums
>You can make everything but your cock invisible and terrorize your sister

>Marinafags are so desperate to make invisible sound like a good ability
sad

>Can hide it very well by definition of what the power does
Most comics and anime depict invisibility only affecting the skin/human, not his clothes.
Meanwhile, everyone with flight has increased flight speed
also what practical legal uses does it have? its only for edgelords

when is the next splatfest?

>also what practical legal uses does it have?

>Make a Bed and breakfast and advertise it as haunted.
>Rake in millions trolling paranormal fags.

That's the life.

Is the pro controller worth shelling out for?

Not for this game. The objectively best way to play is the joycons split up. You can aim the cursor with only one arm rather than two. I bought a silicone grip to make the joycons thicker.

Yes. It makes pretty much every game feel a lot better to play.

We've pretty much concluded in the last thread that flight is for heroes, invisibility is for villians.

>implying invisablity doesn't work like it should while flight gets bonuses just because you say so
the delusion of flightfags everyone

Reminder that we have yet to get any new maps and that this is inexcusable

Not him, but the depiction of invisibility they're using is of a squid with an invisible body but visible clothes.

Yeah and the flight kid is literally dying by being on fire.

>WAAHH I want free stuff for nothing

They have two vs maps and two salmon run maps on the way my dude.

>it's okay that we've gotten less updates than the first game has in the same timeframe! D-don't criticize my favorite things, I tie my identity to them! You're upsetting me!
I know, but on the way, when? We had 2, going on 3 new maps by now with Splatoon 1. We should have gotten a new one by now, if not more

>We should have gotten a new one by now
Well, we did, technically.

So basically

>Flying = beta angel with no dire need to commit crime
>Invisibility = even more beta filthy thief bitch with a slight obsession into doing some sort of crime

gotcha

WHICH IS IT???

Get both.

.

This is a really dumb splatfest theme

You know what flies?

Birds.

Nobody wants to be a bird

Bird holocaust when?
I want every goose, gull, pidgeon, pecker, swan, and shitbird deleted.

Invisible Man still has very visible eyes. The images suck don't bother with them.

What does Sup Forums think of the latest Splatoon meme?

kek, that webm is great

top laff

What about bats, bugs, airplanes, helicopters and bullets?

Gracias Doctor.

What's the best way to grind money? Any particular weapon good for it?

Turf War with aerospray and cash up tickets and doing Salmon Run at least until 1200 for both super bonuses.

...

I'm not very big on super powers (in the Marvel/DC way), so I'm not sure which one to pick. I was on Marina's side last Splatfest, should I pick Pearl to be different this time?

I'm a total Marinafag, but having picked mayo last time, my Splatfest experience was a ton better. Not sure who the majority would be here.

>picking based on the character backing it
Save it for the Pearl vs Marina Splatfest in 2 years time.

>tfw Mr Grizz pays us to genocide salmonids

Are we the villains?

Daily reminder this is the best weapon in the game.
>throw bomb
>if they don't have any ink resist they can't move and they're dead
>if they do have ink resist then you shoot them or throw another bomb and they're dead

Splatoon 1 had 8 maps by now. Splatoon 2 currently has 8 maps.

Super powers are for faggots

Is that supposed to comfort me? We should have more maps in a sequel

>Be invisible
>Kill all the tyrants in the world without ever being discovered
>Manipulate documents, haunt politicians and scare them into doing what you want
>End up creating an utopia for all

How is invisibility for villains?

>Manipulate documents, haunt politicians and scare them into doing what you want
That sounds pretty villainous to me user

meant to reply to

So, burst bombs are the best weapon and not the splattershot?

But they are the bad guys. You wouldn't harm the little guy, you wouldn't even harm the politicians just scare them shitless into making your vision true.

Pretty much. I'm experimenting but the downside to shooters is their range but bombs nullify that.

>Kill all the tyrants in the world without ever being discovered

Thermal goggles are a thing, nu-Light. Also, you can do good without resorting to killing, especially if you're invisible.

>Be invisible
>Kill all the leaders in the world without ever being discovered
>Manipulate documents, haunt citizens and scare them into doing what you want
>End up creating your own personal tyrannical dystopia
How is invisibility not for villains?

No, but the comparison is not fair.

...

In what way? The original game was rushed by Nintendo, yet still was able to have a better update schedule. This game had way less shit to do, since they had the old game as a base, and most shit could be directly imported, so they should definitely be able to churn out more content and have consistent updates. They should honestly be updating faster than the last game

saved.

god fucking dammit, made me laugh.

Fuck off, retard.

*puts on thermal vision equipment*
*shoots you*

*looks in your general direction*
*shoots you out of the air to a painful death*

*it was a hologram*

...

Wow, real glad they wasted time on that. It's awesome that they reconstructed all the gear with painstaking effort, instead of making more stages for updates. What brilliance on the part of the devs

>T bagging in an actual children's game
I'm honestly surprised people stoop this low. How could you possibly be so delusional. Fuck that hurts to think about. Goodnight, Sup Forums

>being butthurt about squidbagging
I hope you get squidbagged in your dreams.

Weapons that don't have bombs as a sub weapon frankly disgust me. It's such a huge disadvantage not having bombs on a weapon if you ask me.

Moray Towers > Port Mackeral >> Starfish Mainstage > The Reef > Inblot Art Academy >>> Musselforge Fitness > Sturgeon Shipyard > Humpback Pumptrack

Invisibility > Flight

Rainmaker > Splat Zones > Tower Control

Marie > Callie > Marina > Pearl

>How could you possibly be so delusional.
I don't think you know the meaning of the word.

I fucking hate Tower Control so much. It's such a clusterfuck.

I do it when some whacky dumb shit happens.
Always laugh when some salty fuck on turf war
does it on every kill though.

I wonder if making the tower bigger/less claustrophobic would make it a more tolerable mode.

How do I get gud Sup Forums? can I twin stick reliably or do I need to learn the motion control shit?
Whats also a good gun? the splattershot Jr seems like a gun that you need to drop ASAP

Jr is a decent weapon, despite being the starter. Pretty much every splattershot variant is good.
Motions controls are essential.

Pick up the crutchbucket and you can subtract the amount of skill you need to win games.

Shit taste in maps

Happenings just happened, is #Pray4Barcelona the next #Pray4Paris in not-Miiverse, Sup Forums?
