I dont understand how it determines who wins in the tower match (outside of KO obviously).

I've barely played any single player but like 35 hours of multiplayer.

This could have been my darkest timeline. I had the same initial reaction but I tried the Testsplat and feel in love with 1. Glad to see you join the crew of fanatics... also agreed on a tattoo :3Yes skipped the game because of how it looked after watching only a few videos lol did not even try out the splat test on Wii U while owning one at the time. Thought it looked pretty bad looks and gameplay wise and a bit too kiddie for my tastes (at that time).
2 years later played the Splatoon 2 splat test and was like okay this was awesome i was obviously wrong.
Then i bought 1 for 20 bucks played through the story and lots of turf war after and then yeah i became a Splatoon fanatic, bought all amiibo and even want a tattoo now
I still find it hilarious myself tooi think the only videos i watched were the E3 ones back then, never looked up anything Splatoon related after that. Guess i was in my edgy end teen years (19-20 at the time)

I don't use motion controls and I got all the way to S in rainmaker *shrug*
Thinking of changing the OT subtitle to "Aerosprays aren't OP"
Yea, just keep trying it till you find a sensitivity that works for you.
Whichever teams pushed the tower more (indicated by the icon/line at the top of the screen).

Easier than the first games OT
<_<
Chargers are great for Salmon Run. As are Splatlings (as well as the Mini variety). The former can take out Steelheads easier than any other along with providing ranged support, the latter is a wonderful clearing tool that also SHREDS Stingers.
Of course they both do more than just those things, but that's what I really like them for
If anyone doesn't have enough tickets from Salmon Run (I can imagine why you wouldn't but still), you can get 50% up tickets from beating a single player stage with every weapon.
Pretty pointless with how Salmon Run throws out drink tickets and 100% up tickets like candy, but still. I guess it's nice of them.

Wish the EXP tickets would like... Reduce the amount of wins you need for a Super Sea Snail after level 50. By next year, all the non-casual players are going to be max level with 99 XP Up food tickets just because of Salmon Run lol.
I still kinda regret it now missed al those awesome splatfests, but i will make sure to don't miss any of em in Splatoon 2.
And about that tattoo it's gonna be my avatar (placement on my back on top) already have a appointment in early 2018 for it. Only thing different is maybe some back ground or some sort of smoke effect around em, otherwise it looks like a sticker put on my back.
I don't think it needs a nerf.
Though I do think the curling bomb special does. Its a pure mad house when those get released

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
So I finally beat story mode just now, and the final boss lived up to my expectations, I loved it

I feel like with a bit more practice and gear grinding I can maybe give ranked a try. I played one round and shamed my ancestors. I gotta be able to bring my A-game!

The aerospray is fine as is. Its damage output seriously limits it as is. Plus I think its range isn't that great either compared to other weapons.

No it's quite good.

it does not need a nerf its very solid Beginners weapon but its easily outclassed by other weapons and aerospray players that dont know what there doing are very easy to splat.

Ive seen it like once, but it was during splatzones and its shield ability basically stopped the other team from taking the zone.
Underpowered? No, but it can be pretty tricky to use and use effectively. It's not a weapon well-designed to run into an area alone and claim turf or kill opponents, it operates best when you have someone backing you up, which might make it a little difficult to use solo in groups of ranked randoms.
After getting sick of farting around with the weapons I like or want to like and failing miserably, I finally said "fuck it" and went back to the original Splattershot. Ugh this consistency and ttk is disgusting to me after coming off stuff like the .96 Gal and Flingza.
I don't think aerospray needs a nerf. It's basically the same weapon in Splatoon 1 with just different kits. It was my main weapon before, and I can tell you it's not really that powerful even in the current version of Splatoon 2. There's just lack of roller users nowadays, and those things destroy aero users.

I find that Pearl's story is a little bit sad. In the scroll she broke things by singing in her childhood. During map intro Mariana said Pearl broke statues in the academy map by singing. Those are the reasons Pearl can only rap in Splatoon 2 even though she wants to sing.

Seriously though. I fell off of splatoon 1 pretty early on, but back then I would only use the aerospray and get annihilated by rollers. Now I'm doing pretty well with the aerospray. I mostly try to stay out of combat and focus on covering space with my ink. Once I get my special is when I generally fuck everyone up lol.

Someone please tell me the Dapple Dualies are good. I'm playing nonstop just to unlock them.
Shorter range... more mobile. Not worth it I don't think.
The reason you see less of that hard counter is because rollers as a whole class are borderline-broken now with the changes they made to the range of their flicks and damage calculations. Kill-range for them across the board is a lot less consistent now, with the Splat Roller perhaps being the least effective. Carbon is in an impossible spot of having barely any range for the ink-flick itself, but if you're too close and your swing hits the enemy directly, you'll actually bounce away from them after dealing some moderate damage. They can't counter Aerospray as reliably now because there are times you can do everything right but still not secure the splat. This is also partly why the Octobrush is also so prevalent right now.

Aerospray is actually the one weapon that doesn't need a nerf. All brushes and buckets and rollers do. They have no business out ranging a gun.
So it ain't just me then? Good to know. Brushes beating duali squelchers is nuts

Rollers are serviceable at best. Just because you don't think a paint roller should logically outrange some paint guns doesn't mean it's not balanced, especially when the rollers are having such a hard time doing anything right now. Splat and Krack-On are the only ones that really work atm, and even then you'll have to frequently outplay your opponent just to survive.
Regular slosher is also fine, and anyone who thinks the Inkbrush needs a nerf is crazy - that thing has practically no range. You might have a point with the Octobrush, but I need to see more of it; I don't quite think it's OP atm.

Just got into A- in rainmaker and I feel like my teammates are even worse for some reason.

They also do more damage.

Sometimes I seem to land a good thwack with the Splat Roller, and it doesn't even faze the person I hit.
I like to use curling bombs to get paths out, flank people on objective modes, but landing a death blow is tough half the time, because my hits either fail to register, or do glancing baby damage.

...they don't. Dualie Squelchers beat the Octobrush's range by over 50%.
The Dapples are good at turfing, but unless you're flanking your opponent, you'll get murdered before you're in range unless you outplay your opponent. They can be good, but it's not as easy as other weapons. I do prefer them to standard Dualies, though.

So theyre very much like aerospray?
Fix this.
That reminds me: is Dynamo still in the game?
On the subject of dynamo, I remember its first introduction saying it could nullify attacks, but I've NEVER seen it do that in the original game. Did it ever have that property?
JershJopstin
Banned
Not as extreme. They're turfing ability comes more from how they just zoom all over the place then raw ink output, but I'd take Dapples over an Aero in a fight any day. The Aero does have a lower skill floor, though.

What is the dapple's kit? I've been looking to move on from my aerospray into other stuff.
Yeah but every time it comes down to it I lose to the brush

Beakons and Suction Bomb Launcher. Doesn't really do it any favors getting in on an opponent. If you're switching from an Aero, though, the biggest thing you'll notice in combat is the much better TTK; while the Aero has a pretty lackluster TTK for a short-ranged weapon, the Dapples feel like a delete button once you're in range, even more so after a roll.
Then you need to work on your spacing. Alternatively, if you're having trouble utilizing the Dualie Squelchers' range, you could switch to a shorter range gun that deals more damage.

I really do think that the sloshers have a range glitch the hitbox is further than the ink splash.

Beakons sound less than ideal, but for ranked that sounds like a decent enough set up. I might try that out. I tried the N'Zap 85 as an aerospray replacement but it felt off. I might need to play around with that more in ranked.
