I'm not sure, but I think it uses a lot of ink when moving like that.

Getting high tide twice in a salmon match sucks.
Getting high tide on the final wave in salmon run is fucking brutal 😭

What's wrong with it? I really like it because of its look.
For your second question: Because some of us are very bad at shooter, but that's why I'll skip Salmon Run if it has charger in its selection.

You do know that's an inherit ability of the brush not limited to Salmon Run, yeah?

Salmon run was messed up for me tonight, I swear it was running waaaay higher % than it showed and everytime I won it would refuse to budge from 140% even though we had like 5 bosses coming at once during the whole match. I stuck it out and got my super bonus and gtfo lol
I think position is always based on turf covered (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), meaning that it's largely meaningless in ranked modes. The amount of "rank" that you earn, though, is based on some secret sauce that factors in a number of things. However, doesn't help if your team loses!
(I'm a little angry about this right now)

Thanks ya'll, I'll post part 2 when it's done. The Switch lottery lines were truly next-level stuff.
They need to do some general weapon balancing too, no way a blaster should be able to snipe from the bridge whilst I'm about splaytershot distance away, and I still cant work out how you can be splatter by bombs through a wall or behind a pillar
Level doesn't really mean anything, not sure how it works in this game but in the first one matchmaking was done based on general playstyle i.e how much you kill or ink. I'm pretty sure your position on the board in ranked is based on your win/loss ratio in the last 10 games.
It's annoying as I've had plenty of games with the highest kills, only died once or twice, and performed 90% of the objective and still not come in top

Yeah any time I see myself matched with lower level players I lower my head in shame, it's essentially the game saying "yeah you're not in-form right now are you?"
Same with the opposite, my Japanese account was Level 3, and I started playing it again, but after dominating a couple of games with the crappy default gear I found my Level 3/4 matched with a bunch of high 30s.

That makes no sense
If your playing like shit why would it match you with shit players against good ones, you will just continue to lose, surely it would match you with reasonable ones to balance you up.

No, when you're playing badly, it puts you with players of a skill level that matches how you are doing at the moment. If you keep losing or doing poorly in ink/kills, eventually you'll be paired with complete noobs so you get some wins in.

The team lists at the end of each ranked match is just based on win ratio for the past 10 matches. The more matches you've won (including the one you just played), the higher you will place on your team's list. Turf score does not influence your placing.
My wife and I were in Japan right before launch. I hated knowing I would miss out on a lot of cool stuff that would be everywhere shortly after.
But I keep getting shit players on my team, matched against much better ones, which means I have a very slim chance of winning
Edit
I'm done this is pissing me off too much now
Me at 18, and I'm put with a 5, 7, & 14, against 2 x 18, a 24 and a 37.
No wonder I only have a 50% win ratio on my last 50 games.
I thought it reset on suicide too but the other day when trying it just left it next to where I jumped off, im sure I saw people doing it at e3.

I think the fish (a common nickname for the rainmaker) will reset itself back to the center of the map if it is left alone for a long duration. I'm very certain that a popped fish will reset if left alone for like 10ish seconds. I don't recall if a shielded fish will eventually reset, though I'm leaning more towards no.
Also, if you jump off the side on the enemy's half of the map, the fish will remain in the position when you were last touching the ground. Suiciding to reset the fish only works if you suicide in a place where your team doesn't make progress (such as your team's half of the map) or in anti-rainmaker areas. Do note that the enemy still has an opportunity to kill the fish carrier before the fish carrier successfully resets, which will keep the fish in the same place.
Yeah the problem I think is not enough people realize they need to be cleaning up mobs in order to allow the charger player to take out bosses. N-Zap user should be 90% focused on that. Roller really needs to actually roll in order to take care of the smallest mobs and create paths to and from the basket. Brush is very mobile and should collect eggs and using that mobility to quickly take out stingers and steel eels. It's a decent weapon set if people know their roles.

You should be really pairing up. Nothing is more annoying if you get handed a charger and smallfries starts bugging you, when you try to take care of a steelhead, and the roller or brush guy are nowhere to be seen.
I couldn't sleep and gave in to the temptation to play some squib in bed. Not sure if it's just a one-night thing, but H3 is a new love. A weapon that Point Sensors makes so much sense on. Also, Tenta Missiles are awesome and I don't like enough weapons with them in the kit.
Side note, playing this game on mute makes some things easier, as the music and sounds can overwhelm at points. But.. mostly it just makes it all way harder. Not being able to hear bombs, Specials, flanks, and a lot of little cues.. Oof.

Splatoon 2 is a great podcast game. I always mute while I play and listen to a podcast.
It certainly gives the game a different feel. I had music on through my earphones (Persona Live 'Best of' that showed up in my Recommended), because while I didn't want to hear Splat directly in my ears (too much goes on for me to wear direct sound), I did want to hear something.
The next time I play undocked, I'll give a podcast a shot. The newest EZA cast would work well~
Haha, just checked and I actually went negative with my H3 games. 4/5. Thought I did a bit better than that. I did drag it right into Ranked, though, so I'm actually a bit proud of even that many wins.

Haven't noticed a change here (UK), certainly to not any degree that I'd be considered about playerbase.
Back in the orignals Days, playing at 2:30am like I am now would have meant I was playing exclusively with Japanese players. Now the server cant find anyone to play with. I have a feeling nintendo is hyper localizing matchmaking so I can only be paired with people on my side of the states because theres no way theres only 40-50 players in all of NA right now. Just keep on playin mg the same people.
I wonder if they did this so that I would experience less lag playing with people within 1000mi of me which would allow them to drop the tick rate since Im not dealing with transpacific connections to Asia... which is dumb. Lol
Its just me and another player named hermina alone right now in a room, again, trying to get matched... the last one timed out. :/

Hmm, admittedly my anecdotal evidence is that in both cases I saw this one of my team ran back towards the tent but I lost track of them after that. Possibly they managed to do something even dumber next.
I'm never going to understand the mentality of someone that (for instance) waits for a team game to start then insists on jumping up and down on the spot for 90 seconds.
dapple dualies are op in turf war. They kill faster than an aerospray, are great for painting, and you get one of the best control specials in the suction bomb launcher. It's the only weapon behind the tri-slosh that I think needs a balancing look.
Edit: oh and of course Dodge rolling.
Flingza is slow, ineffective and it's strengths are null compared to the other rollers, which are already weaker than they used to be in Splatoon 1.
And about chargers, it's alright, I'm sure you'll get better but what bothers me is that people who are at the Profreshional rank, who supposedly have at least enough experience, can't hit a steelhead even with zero pressure, which are arguably one of the biggest strengths for chargers in Salmon Run, that and Grillers.
Dapple dualies are meant for splatting. It has better damage but less range compared to splat dualies. They are like sploosh.

I really enjoy using rollers. But i hope they get a bit of a buff. I only played the first game for about a week. So i dont have anything really to compare too. People said they were OP? So, Im not asking for a major buff. Just something to make them more viable.
I 'roll' with the carbon roller cause i find its the most useful of the bunch. Having a decent loadout and speed where i can react fast enough. I find the other rollers have a really slow wind up time for vertical and horizontal swings. And for a game with smallish maps and lots of high speed attack weapons, you might as well have a big target on you while your in the middle of a swing.

5-14 tonight.
A procession of 3 person teams and people that have no idea about the objective.

I actually do stream, but scheduling is a bit hard due to work, so I do it whenever I can.You should stream or record footage if you don't already. I'd love to see and (hopefully) learn from the play. DUDE andfuzzy2dos are always an option, but more people would show different playstyles.
Also, that's nuts. For some reason I didn't realize that you have two nearly at 50. How many times have you jumped multiple tiers?
What does cF stand for? I've seen the tag a few times in solos. Of course, most of them are probably fakes (like the three "sendou" I've seen already), but they clearly know it means something.
E: forgot 2dos' name and just defaulted to Fuzzy for some reason
For SZ, I skipped +10 each time except the last time where it was +7 and then +3. Can't remember TC and RM skips that well.
cF stands for Crème Fresh.

Im not sure exactly how they figure it out. But it is wonky for sure. Some people said that its based on loadouts. But to me that doesnt seem right cause ive often enough been on teams with 3 other rollers. Or went against 4 people charger teams or 4 people aero teams.
Also, when i was in my level 20s still. Id also get matched up with 3 other people sub level 10. Then go up against a team that are 25+. To be fair, level isnt always indicative of skill in this game. But for some cases you have to figure some of them are new which can put you at a disadvantage for sure.
Id really like to hear an some official Nintendo talk just discussing how they set up matchmaking for sure.
I wish my fourth team mate was real.

Rainmaker is the most emotional mode for me. I've picked up the ball at the last moment and run it in just far enough to eke out a win, and I've had heartbreaking last-second losses. I've been on both sides of 30-second stomps.
It's still my least favorite ranked mode though.
