I just want to finish a single Salmon Run ffs.

Been stuck at 60/99 for hours now. We die everytime at the last wave. UGh

Really? I've only failed twice in like 15+ plays...

 

[MarineMountie]

Sometimes I wonder if my teammates know where the ink button is on the controller...

Love this game. Haven't really dabbled in Salmon Run yet since it's a different leveling category. Just trying to reach level 10 for now.

Just completed the single player. While maybe a bit familiar to the first one, the last half really knocks it out of the park. Final boss is

Spoiler

a bit too familiar to the first for my liking, so even though it's amazingly well designed it doesn't manage the same face melting awe as it's predecessor.

The last world legit could compare to the best of Mario. I wish we get story expansions this time around, I honestly think that if Splatoon and this had a focus on the single player (with more content as well as the marketing profile) they would be considered two of the best platformers ever made.

Motion controls with split joycons is fun

 

[OrbitalBeard]

God, I hope Salmon Run gets tons of content updates.

This mode is amazing and my favorite part of the entire game.

 

[de_reddy]

I really love Salmon Run, been playing it way more than the other modes.

It's how I play as well. Perfect for me.

 

[TheJoRu]

Only played up to level 7 in Hero Mode so far, but it's great. Very easy, but cool. Level 5 was superb, the kind of movement you can pull off in this game is phenomenal.

[blue_phazon]

Is it true you can't team up with friends in Ranked mode (the non-league one)? Isn't that a little backwards....

 

[Kalor]

The world 4 boss is the most trouble I've had with one so far. I'm curious to see how that fight goes with different weapons.

 

[AaronMT86]

By the way you can report squids for inactivity, frequent disconnection, network manipulation, and more using SplatNet

 

[Wiseblade]

Running to the N-Zap 85 almost feels like admitting defeat, but I'm doing way better with it than I was with the Dualies.

 

[Nameless]

Motion Controls are far superior.

Ehh. I've been using analog on a Pro controller and have gotten tops on my team 14 out of the last 15 matches. Not saying I'm kingshit or anything, just it's not exactly motion or bust like some make it seem. You can still be competitive with them off.

 

[Jims]

Oh gawd, the Splattershot Pro is a monster in this early going... Everyone is still playing Splattershots and Aerosprays and Dualies. Love this thing on Sturgeon Shipyard and Starfish Mainstage.

The lingering Point Sensors are nice.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I now have 30k in credits at level 9. What am I supposed to buy with that money? Any must haves?

Buy something at 15k from the app

I turned them off right after the tutorial. Not sure why I need more motion than just pushing an analog up or down.

What do the point sensors actually do? I couldn't work it out!

Hu, how?

 

[MaizeRage25]

Splatoon n00b here...

How do I unlock more abilities on gear? I have two abilities and two open slots...

 

[AGoodODST]

Only just got to play this docked mode and holy shit such an improvement over the original.

Just keep playing with them equipped and their abilities will unlock with experience.

 

[DNAbro]

Hu, how?

Download Switch online app, click Splatoon 2 on it, look at the online store, order an expensive item cause it has 3 ability slots, then pick up and pay for it at Murch's.

low level gear can't unlock more slots unless you have a special item that is given out to splatfests winners.

Totally, but once you master motion the controls are a non issue, to the point where I forget I'm even using a controller. It's just so natural and effortless.

Cool - any way to check progress?

 

[psychowave]

So, regarding clothing abilities, are there any that are a must have? I'm kinda just trying everything right now.

 

[lt519]

Damn this game is fun, just unlocked splattershot and I'm coming in first quite often in my lobby, I lay a lot of paint down and still get 6-7 splats a match.

 

[Jims]

It marks a person you hit with them so you can temporarily see where they're swimming in the ink. They have a lingering effect now where the Point Sensor lands will hang around for a couple seconds where you threw it, in case someone swims into it.

I recommend trying 'em out for newer players. They're good for practicing aiming at moving targets.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

For a first time splatoonwr should I finish single player before jumping online

 

[DNAbro]

it's a good way to get acclimated with the controls and different weapon types.

 

[BFIB]

I'm having a lot of fun so far. Perfect pick up and play game.

 

[nubbe]

Pro Tip
In Salmon run, be the squid that focus on killing all the adds
Because everyone else will just run for the bosses and DIE

 

[RagnarokX]

On the one hand, higher ranks have tougher waves, but on the other hand your teams are more likely to know what they're doing and play smarter.

I did the first world then just jumped online, been doing fine. Especially in turf war where the focus isn't splatting I think you can learn faster there.

 

[Sniffynose]

Level 8

EDIT: I will add, for the original Spaltoon amiibos. I think it's 10 for the ones for the second one, but not 100% sure.

I saw someone at lvl 10 with all the boy ninja gear so guess by then but who knows

Thanks guys, I'm a 6 so far so hopefully later tonight I can try that out =)

Thanks! Found it.

Switch question. Can I buy a second set of joycons and have them synched with my system and use them while the system is docked with a set of joycons attached to it? I don't like taking the joycons on/off the system itself.

 

[topplehat]

Single player is giving me Super Mario Sunshine vibes big time

Yup. I've got a 2nd set and pro controller for TV play. I never remove the pair docked unless to charge the 2nd set

 

[LegendX48]

It's how I play as well. Perfect for me.

Messing around with it but the fact that I can't go full wiimote style aiming keeps throwing me off lol

 

[Metalmarc]

Has anyone actually tried any less than 8 people Local Play mode thats not Salmon Run?

What happens when only 2 of you connect locally?, whats the game like? Not what you think happens but I'd like to know someone who has tried what actually happens? Is it just the 2 of you running around vs each other on the maps? Or do the modes not work other than Salmon run? I heard most do apart from leagues.

This Game and a Switch is still on my wishlist

Thank you thank you to everyone who replied it's nice to know you can just jump in!

 

[Shahadan]

Stop cutting my pay Mr Grizz pls

So close to 200% yet so far

 

[13ruce]

I need motion to be super sensitive to minimize the amout of movement I make. I have it on 4 or 5.

I play at 1.5 stick and 3 motion it will vary for everyone though for sure

My settings are pretty dead set for me though

Thanks i will just try some of the higher settings then to see how it plays.

 

[plank]

Motion controls with split joycons is fun

how does that work? Is it like the Wii Remote and Nun-chuck?

 

[AaronMT86]

Oh my god Enperry Splat Dualies with the Curling Bomb <3

 

[octopiggy]

C+ boys!

 

[Chrizzy_81]

Just working my way through single player before I venture into multiplayer. Loving it so far
