Splatoon 2 |OT| HIGHTIDE ERA IS THE BEST
- Thread starter DaBoss
- Start date
Doesn't the popular team always lose though? BTW I'm team pulp and have a team room open. Join up with me.

I'm pretty confident pulp team will win.
Lots of problems trying to find matches too.
Yes, I've never seen so many disconnects since Splatoon 1. There are also lots of disconnections after the result screen (once the match is over), and those don't count for your battle record, they don't appear in the SplatNet app.

Ended up 17-13, not my best splatfest performance, luckily 3 of those losses were against other pulpers. I decided to go with a mix of all the different Baller weapons, not sure why, but at least it meant a wide variety of main weapons.
I liked the Shifty Station a lot, it's clearly still gimmicky like all the others, but here I felt the combination of two gimmicks, the parallel spawn corridors and the drum switches, made for an interesting combination that provided lots of strategic depth. For me this has been probably the only one that feels like a solid map rather than a weird experiment, albeit just for turf war

Seems like it, every time I've been on it I'm the first one there and basically have the whole thing my color and hold the line and I've never lost
Some of the earlier Splatfests were much rougher for me. What I am seeing more of is matchmaking failures. (Though it appears most of them were on Team No Pulp mirror matchups, so I don't mind too much)
Finally got to No Pulp King! Took forever but I can rest now.
Now I eagerly await for tomorrow when we find out that Pearl wins like always whenever I seem to choose Marina. /s

Well after an abysmal start of 3-9 for team pulp late last night and earlier this morning either I remembered how to play again after a month hiatus playing BotW or the rest of team pulp woke up and then proceeded to go 17-3. What a hell of a turnaround that happened this afternoon and early evening. Total of 20-12 which is great given the heavy loses the last few splatfests.
Splatfests are an Electoral College SimulatorYeah this Splatfest doesn't look good for Team No Pulp
It doesn't matter if the right choice gets the most votes if they keep losing
Went to the zoo with the nieces and nephews and didn't get started until late. But I made it to No Pulp King. Honestly didn't play very well overall... The Pulp teams were about on par as others, I just kept doing stupid stuff. Usually do these in two sessions, so maybe one long session wasn't ideal.
Splatfest stage was better than I was expecting. Might be a little too easy to lockout the other team, especially in the spawn area. But it's pretty easy to lockout the giant circle too once you've closed the giant door. I like that there are a couple dominant strategies to lock them out, though. Have seen some games where we dominate because we spawn camped, but had some dominant games where we just played 2-and-2 in the square and circle areas. Had one where the other 3 stayed in the square and I just stood on their grated/upper area with a vanilla Slosher and stalled them in the hallway. A lot of the teams would get too aggressive sometimes and push for the base over and over again, and then lose track of the turf filling behind them.

I'll take it you're also on Team "Clam Blitz Rotation = Time to Go Be Productive For a Change"? :P
I'm going to steal a joke I heard on Vespher's stream.
"What should they add to Clam Blitz to make it better?"
The delete button.

Oh right I forgot that EU still has their Splatfest. I thought they ended theirs at around 12 midnight last night or something.
Pulp freaking won. Are you kidding me?
They really need to rework their tallying cause whichever one wins popularity always loses in the other two categories.

Not always, look at previous Splatfests, for some of them the popular choice won : https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Splatfests_in_Splatoon_2
Including this one it's only 5 out of 14 Splatfests, but it's still possible.
There was even two 3-0 in US and one in Europe and Japan.
Dude, how do you record your sessions? The switch has some kind of functionality for that or you need something external?
Press and hold the share button. You can share directly to Twitter. You're limited to 30 FPS this way though. For 60 FPS you'll need external capturing hardware.
The Dynamo Roller in Salmon Run suuuuuuuuuucks right now. Had a Glowfly round on the first round and was out of ink in a few swings and pretty much got splatted instantly.
If you have a roller on a glowfly/rush wave, especially the Dynamo, you should not be swinging. All you have to do is stand in front of the pack* and let everything run into your roller.
I'm not a roller main and I suck with the Dynamo, so really the only thing I swing at with the Dynamo in Salmon Run is a Steel Head.
*Just want to clarify that you do have to be moving to do damage, but you can literally just nudge the stick to walk so slow that you're basically going no where, and therefore not using much ink.

How would people feel if Shifty stage was a permanent 3rd stage in rotation? Shifty Stage would rotate between the different Splatfest variations with each map change. It'd be cool if they did that in one of the last updates in December.
Hate to break it to you but your teammates are probably mad at you for not knowing how to use the Dynamo, LOL.
If you get a roller during a Glowfly wave, just hold it down and press very lightly forward. All of the enemies will kill themselves running into your roller. You can see how effective this is in my video above.
I also hate using the Dynamo period. I don't like Rollers in general and the Dynamo sucks the worst out of them IMO.
Could someone please help me? I bought the game in the EU Eshop sale but have been completely unable to play due to network errors. I can get into the plaza of the game fine, see other player's messages etc, but whenever I try to connect to a game, I get Error Code 2618-0516:
(More info)
I don't know much about network stuff, but I guess this is some kind of NAT type problem? The only other game I played online on the Switch so far was Fortnite, and that worked fine.
The Nintendo support site for this error message recommends I put my Switch into the DMZ of my router, but my router configuration app doesn't seem to have ordinary DMZ settings, but only a "virtual DMZ" which seems to be something else.
(When I connected my dock via a USB LAN adapter to the router wired, my Switch couldn't get a network connection at all that way.)
Is there anything I can do about this, and if so, how do I go about it? This is extremely frustrating as the game is effectively unplayable for me and a complete waste of money. :(
