Why has this become a thing in Splatoon? The person they're doing this to doesn't have a body lying there.
so you're wondering why someone pressed buttons during video games?
No, I'm wondering why someone wastes their time doing shit from 2005 when it just gets them killed.
Their camera follows who killed them for a few seconds. It's only something shitters initiate and you can bet they end up being one of the worst players in the lobby when all is said and done. The common defense for it is it gets a rise out of their opponent (whom they've already splatted), which will cause them to play worse and ultimately lose.
>which will cause them to play worse
If you're enough of a little bitch that that would actually bother you.
So why in the fuck were Pearl and Marina not in the single player?
low effort single player
Because they were busy being the newscasters and announcers. They had a small part at the end.
Because Marina is a dirty slut.
Because it's fun (video games)
>Why has this become a thing in Splatoon?
You're speaking like this is new. This has been going on since the Wii U game.
It just feels like they could have been plugged in as a minor role to give them a little more character.
I mean, I like them and all, but why would anyone like them over the Squid Sisters when the Squid Sisters are the ones doing all this super hero shit?

>report them in the app
If you use the online app (I know) you can report them for poor sportsmanship. They can’t squidbag if they’re banned.
The same as people who teabag
Also be very afraid if we finally get cross-region, because the nips will squidbag you the full kill cam and then still manage to cover half the fucking stage
This image comes off as really reddity.
>being this salty over being squidbagged, the most family friendly version of teabagging.
grow a pair
How much of a queer must you be, to get mad at someone mimicking a gesture on other games where the insult was putting your ass in their dead corpse, except instead of putting your ass on their faces, you spazz like a retard
>accuses someone of being mad
>while getting severely defensive in your own post
lol
So you got reported then?
no, really, tell me how do you even get mad to something as inane as a parody of an insult where the insulting part was removed
either children or retards
nothing wrong with going for kills but you should never prioritize it over trying to ink turf unless it's an immediate threat
>Walking through the plaza
>See furry/trans/discord advertisements/instagram advertisements/pray for (youtuber)
>Report all of them
I know NoA doesn't give a shit unless someone is drawing dicks but it feels nice to do. They never deleted off-topic shit in Miiverse and won't start now.
>getting upset over teabagging in 2011+7
Nintendo has stated that they deliberately stay away from developing characters. Considering their localization teams, it may be for the best.
I agree that it's a shame, especially with this universe. It's important to note that Pearl and Marina aren't "Agents" of the "Squidbeak Splatoon." They are just idols. They could have been made agents easily enough of course. Callie and Marie managed to be both agents and idols. Pearl and Marina's backstories are limited to a couple Sunken Scrolls and whatever you can glean from Inkopolis News dialogue, which is always of questionable cannon-ness, since that stuff is fundamentally rewritten as part of the localization. It's a shame. I'd like some story DLC personally.
Why shouldn't I report? It doesn't make me mad but If someone is actively trying to ruin my experience I'll try to ruin theirs. Pretty simple, the only time I don't is if they have a female Mii or at least a very feminine name that they're most likely not a boy.
>since that stuff is fundamentally rewritten as part of the localization
>Japan: This character is very shy and nervous around new people.
>Treehouse: A MEME-SPOUTING GIRL POWER TYPE THAT HATES MEN AND PROBLEMATIC THINGS!
I loved NoA's "Fuck you, Callie" version of Marie, but sometimes they can just go way too far. Fire Emblem's "....." shit as the perfect example.
Honestly, plugging Marina into the single player would have been very easy. Just have Marie be like "don't worry Agent 4, i got an...expert on Octarian tech to help us out" and then have an icon that's obviously Marina but with ??? as the name talk to you here and there when it's pertinent. I think not having Pearl and Marina in the single player ended up making them feel more bland in comparison and just made me want the Squid Sisters back more.
And how do you know it's someone trying to "ruin your experience" and not some child that saw someone else do a weird funny gesture?
Hell, I havent played since splatoon 1, but even then I remember squidbagging parties on spawn just for the sake of it, you're reading too much on a random gesture in a kid's game
You would think Marina being an Octoling would be addressed at some point.
I think they go too far in making Callie a comedic punching bag. It's fine in Splatoon 1 because Callie and Marie are family and close friends, but that's all detached in 2. She's the butt of the big joke in the game and it's crossed the line into being distasteful for me and really it has nothing to do with localization this time since it's the core story. Doesn't make me real hopeful for the future on that side of things seeing as how Nintendo is known to be tone-deaf. I know I'm taking it too seriously and I'm in the minority here, but they're just laying it on too thick for my tastes.
>I think not having Pearl and Marina in the single player ended up making them feel more bland in comparison and just made me want the Squid Sisters back more.
Makes me wonder what they'll do in the future. Will Callie and Marie return and maybe Pearl and Marina get their shot in single player? Will there be new idols and Callie and Marie will still be single player? Maybe Pearl and Marina also get mixed in to that? I have no clue what they're thinking.
The way the producer made it sound, the Inklings don't even really notice she's an octopus. Keep in mind, most of the inklings that aren't the Agents don't even seem to remember the Octarians even exist or take them seriously.
>I have no clue what they're thinking.
Honestly, the only reason Pearl and Marina exist is because the idea they had for the single player in this one required Callie and Marie to be absent and they wanted to have some new faces to show "yes, this is a sequel, see we have new idols". I like Off the Hook, there's kind of this nagging feeling like there's no point in being too attached to them cause either Callie and Marie will return better than ever in Splatoon 3 or two new idols will replace them, but they won't be allowed to take Callie & Marie's place cause the Squid Sisters are basically the icons of the franchise.
Those are both very different things. Doing it right after killing someone has always been considered a taunt.
I'd love if a Splatoon 3 had four-way matches and it used the two idol groups teaming up as a way to contextualize it, especially for special splatfests
>The person they're doing this to doesn't have a body lying there.
When you get splatted the cam focuses on the person who killed you. Squid bagging tilts some players into playing worse.
>She's the butt of the big joke in the game
How so? I played through 1P mode. Besides her never showing up again which was dumb, I'm not seeing what you mean.
>The way the producer made it sound
>Producer
As in the game producer, or a character? I don't remember reading about it so I'm interested.
Play salmon run instead user; squidbagging means something entirely different there
I play SR and love it. It's fun as fuck. I just wish you could level up the same way you can in other modes.
She puts on the hypnoshades before she knows what they really are. You beat the game and the shades are shot off her face. She "remembers" and the Squid Sisters reunite. Upon beating it again they bother to have her explain that she put them on again because she likes the way they look on her. The joke being that she's too dumb/naive/superficial to care what their actual function is even though there's no way she can't know what they do at this point.
That to me is crossing the line from an innocent joke into blatant disrespect. It makes me think that in Nintendo's heads, Callie's character is for ridicule and I just can't get behind that. She's too much of a sweetheart and that's what I find distasteful about it. Hell, she's barely in the game at all and what is there isn't the Callie that we knew.
You should have considered all of this before you decided to lose the last splatfest of Splatoon 1.
Dumbasses doing a Salmon Run victory party alone in an ongoing match
They're not profreshionals
>rescue Callie in the end
>she doesn't show up with Marie and hang out in the square
come the fuck on
Has nothing to do with anything. You think they would mock Marie in the same way? Get real.
>Upon beating it again they bother to have her explain that she put them on again because she likes the way they look on her.
Oh, so you have to beat the final boss a 2nd time? Explains why I've never heard of this before, there's no way in fuck I'm going through 1P mode again with different weapons.
...
You don't. You just have to play the final boss again. Maybe with some other weapon, I don't know.
At least you get the zapfish as a personal reminder that you saved Callie.
Speaking of, do you get drink tickets for beating 1P stages again? I read that you get tickets but not what type.
Same reason why I honk all the time in Mario Kart 8
autism
user, nobody can hear/see you honk online. They don't even jump.
And then you get the middle finger. Can Callie ever be truly safe when it's the developers themselves that are her biggest detractors?
I think it's just one time. They're weak-ass tickets anyway. Salmon Run has the real shit.
Because Nintendo wrote themselves into a corner when they said that they had 'big plans' for the squid sisters for the sequel.
Personally I don't mind the separation. Squid Sisters for SP, Off the Hook for MP, and Mr Grizz for co-op.
>You think they would mock Marie in the same way?
If she had lost. Which she didn't.
You know honking is client side only right user?
If you have to refer to anything as reddit, then you have already lost.
>They're weak-ass tickets anyway
But I want drink tickets.
The only thing the splatfest had to do with the story of 2 was it caused both of them to get more popular and this caused them to split up. Even that's a weak association with Callie getting abducted since she could have gotten abducted regardless of whether they were still together or not.
Also telling anyone that they should have tried harder is just stupid. That was a global splatfest. You have even less to do with the results than you usually do, which is next to nothing to begin with. The disproportionately large jap playerbase alone decided it.
literally just play salmon run till 1200p every shift for like a few days and you'll be swimming (heh) in 150% exp/cash tickets
>being this assblasted that worst Squid Sister lost
Mode rotation happens when:
>You are one away from ranking up
>You are one away from ranking down
>You are one away from being "ok"
>You've been losing the last couple of matches but this one will be THE ONE
I'm playing with online friends and eventually it gets to the point where eels and flyfish show up instantly and rape us in the 2nd wave, and if we get to 3 it's a salmon rape buffet.
I'm not trying to have unpleasant arguments with anyone. I'm just not going to sit here and watch someone unfairly shirk blame onto people for something that's all Nintendo's doing. That's all it is. Hope you understand.
...
Sheeit, you'd try them on too. Don't even lie.
Do you prefer high or low sensitivity? Talking about motion controls.
High enough that I can snap 180 and throw a bomb. No higher though.
>S+ ranked is full of incompetent retards that just got a switch on christmas
what's the point of playing this game anymore
I thought I hated them, then I tried playing without them. I couldn't do it.
To kill time until Dark Souls releases
I never had a problem playing without motion controls in 1 and I haven't had a problem playing without them in 2.
