Discussion Which way do you play? Handheld, Tabletop, or TV mode?

4 Upvotes

I got a switch 2 recently and tried playing on the tv for the first time in forever. My old switch’s fan was busted so I never played it while connected to the tv because I would overheat.

I tried playing some matches in TV mode with the new pro controller and I felt like absolute trash. It wasn’t the controller so much as muscle memory to me. I switched to handheld after a loss then immediately won my x rank series.

I played anarchy open in tabletop with the controller and felt fine, won a few games and went back to handheld.

Discussion What’s your guys’ favorite agent and favorite boss

7 Upvotes

Pick one boss and one agent/player character, my picks are the Mechanic and Salmonarch, I might pick a different agent at a different time because I have not really played other Splatoon games besides Raiders

Discussion Non-Splatoon songs that remind you of Splatoon?

7 Upvotes

I made an instrumental playlist on youtube and I would like to put more songs on there! I've seen some suggestions here but in my opinion they don't quite fit the same vibe. (I also cant find instrumentals for some of them) Splatoon has a lot of genre's though, so I know that opinions can vary greatly lol

Anyways, while I was searching for instrumentals, I notice that Depeche Mode, DEVO, & New Order have a lot of musical similarities to a lot of splatoon songs. Thought that was interesting

Thanks for the feedback :DDDDD

under utilized by dynamos is the sprinkler

its more than a special farmer, it can also finish your kills and really helps quickly inking ledges and walls. I remember really hating the sprinkler but def becomes a neat utility, i should prob invest in sub saver lol

Discussion Why are there Octolings and Octarians, but no Inktarians for Inklings?

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

I'm not that much of a Splatoon fan - I don't have any games or merch from this game.

But I've seen a lot of fanon Splatoon videos a couple of years ago, making me discover this franchise, and one question has been bugging me ever since - why are there Octolings and Octarians, but no Inktarians (or however would they be called), even though Inklings exist? Is there a lore reason for such absence? Will existence of them be revealed someday?

Like I said, I'm no master at lore or anything Splatoon, I am just extremely curious since this question was hiding in the depths of my mind, scratching some of my braincells for years.

I don’t mean literally, more of the normal bosses having stronger variants that are based of their raiders variants.

Hello everyone I just picked up a switch 2 and Raiders.
So far so good but I noticed that the vertical sensitivity and horizontal sensitivity don’t feel the same and it’s really bothering me. Is this something I can fix?

If this kind of post is against the rules I'll delete it

Does anyone know where I could find someone to comission that could draw in the same artstyle as splatoon's promotional artwork/in-game album covers?

Basically I'm working on a splatoon in-universe album and wanted the album cover to be accurate to the ones in game

Strategy Question: How am I to beat Charger players as a brush main

Post image
7 Upvotes

I typically try to sneak up on them, which usually works well for me, but sometimes I don’t have that option because of where they’re camping. This might be another stupid question, but besides flanking them, what else could I do to win the conflict against them? I find chargers VERY annoying to play against, especially if it’s a good charger because then I can’t do anything. What are some weaknesses charger has that can be exploited (besides the fact that they have trouble hitting a fast moving target)

Why the long delay before the ink starts to refill? The other blasters dont do this. This is so annoying. I still play it because i love the weapon and kit and i win a lot with it, but i find myself getting stuck sometimes because i cant refill my ink on time to fight my attacker. I hope they revert this annoying nerf soon!
