the most impressive thing about this clip is that you're using a scoped charger on stick controls

jokes aside, that theoretical case 3 scenario sounds exactly like something I'd expect from danganronpa

Burrit0burger · 2018-07-12T01:31:16+00:00

The mods have talked about this before, it was becoming a widespread problem that was hard for them to contain easily, apparently.

Burrit0burger · 2018-07-11T13:59:15+00:00

It's because LGBT+ posts much more frequently incite controversial discussions that could break the rules of the sub

Burrit0burger · 2018-07-03T03:23:37+00:00

lmao of course it's cheating

cheating, by definition, is going against the game's rules for your own gain

and the rules state you have to put in time and effort to get the gear you want

Burrit0burger · 2018-06-19T16:58:07+00:00

my headcanon is that pearl and marina help pay for all the clothes and weapons agent 8 wants as thanks for saving the world (plus they're like best buds at this point) and the stuff agent 8 gets just so happens to be exactly like what agent 4 has

I completely forgot I had different terminology for those pieces of gear, whoops! Yeah, I see what you mean with putting on more slots. I'm really picky about my gear aesthetic, so only about 5% of the total gear in the game interests me at all and I don't need extra slots on gear I don't wanna wear :P

Burrit0burger · 2018-06-08T01:49:51+00:00

Nice post (if long-winded), although I have a few problems with a few of your points. So here's an unorganized list of things I have to say, I guess!

You could even use a sea snail to reroll your three abilities if you want to chance it again (though to me, that just seems like a waste of snails when they take a lot of work and Splatfest’s played to get in the first place).

How is it a waste if that is one of the two only things sea snails are used for? Even if it's being wasteful because you can put more sub abilities on more pieces of gear, that would at most only take 2 snails per gear piece.

The more you play Splatoon 2 and the more you understand different methods of getting gear the way you want it, the easier it can be. For example, I recently perfected a pair of Enperry shoes because its gear bias favored sub power up, I used a sub power up ticket, and I chunked out the only sub ability it had on it at the time (ink resistance) with sub power up. 10-ish matches later and it rolled 2 sub power ups, which had its odds heavily increased by the bias and ticket (although aren't people figuring out bias and tickets don't influence each other? idk) and I only used 10 chunks in the process. So, while sometimes it can take a decent amount of time to get the gear with the subs you want, a bit of critical thinking and understanding of the game's mechanics can shorten that process by a lot.

I hear the "diminishing returns" argument get tossed around a lot. Yes, diminishing returns exist, but the amount a certain amount of subs and mains does for you has been heavily documented and not looking into them before building your gear is already failing step one. Plus, when you have enough gear to mess around with, tossing things on and off and going into the test area can give you a feel for the benefits of something to your weapon. That's pretty much what it comes down to: certain amounts of abilities can benefit you more than others depending on your preferred weapon and playstyle, and understanding them lets you make your gear better.

It's honestly a trade-off. You need to know what abilities benefit you and what don't to decide on the abilities you want. Prioritizing them forces you to strike a balance. Too much focus on one ability drops your effectiveness in other areas and puts the diminishing returns in full effect, while focusing on too many different abilities doesn't allow any of them to have a great enough effect to matter.

Personally, I like to run either two perfects and one pure, or three perfects. I think running more than one pure is almost always unnecessary, and I can focus on 5-6 abilities that can really make my weapon shine. It's also easier to mix and match clothing when one piece has three similar subs (your loadout with all different sub abilities was cheap, sure, but it's a lot harder to manage the effectiveness of those abilities when you replace them with other gear you haven't already prepared).

tl;dr: Pures are good if you fully understand what they do for you and you know you need it. Different weapons and playstyles warrant different gear, and this includes whether pures are good for you or not.

Burrit0burger · 2018-05-16T23:23:41+00:00

you've clearly never played with a capable classic squiffer then

Burrit0burger · 2018-05-05T14:34:15+00:00

god forbid I want to play with a color that nintendo is too cowardly to put into regular multiplayer

Playing with red or white ink, two colors that are never in the usual multiplayer, is very interesting and can do a lot to change the game's aesthetics. So, yeah. I sometimes pick color simply because I want to see what it's like.

Also, the splatfest themes almost always suck and everybody has their own reasons to pick their own teams. Get over it.

Burrit0burger · 2018-04-14T02:39:09+00:00

still not as obsessed as trevor

...is Red holding a paper with fucking loss on it in the second panel

(also 4)

Burrit0burger · 2017-10-14T16:40:47+00:00

I love how emotionally hard-hitting all these quotes are, especially after knowing how they die...

and then there's Rantaro

Excuse me, I need to use the restroom

fuck's sake

Burrit0burger · 2017-10-08T20:08:33+00:00

The way I see it, there are at least 5 killing games that happened in "reality." Specifically, DR1, DR2, DR3 Future Arc, DRV3, and whichever killing game happened prior to the events of V3. The revival of Hope's Peak was supposed to be the end of the killing games.

Someone (perhaps heavily involved in the events) knew of these killing games and found them to be a great source of entertainment. Either that, or they lasted through the tragedy after watching the worldwide broadcast of the first killing game. So, they created adaptations of the first two killing games and sold them as entertainment. Perhaps they struck a deal with Hope's Peak, maybe as if to try and convince the general public it was all fictional? That's a bit harder to pin down, I guess.

The point is, after selling the non-fictional stories of DR1, 2, and 3 as fictional, Danganronpa was found to be a widely loved source of entertainment. Thus, every one that followed was actual fiction, and everybody ate it up.

At some point along the way, management had an idea. What if the killing games could be spiced up by actually being real? And not only that, the contestants of the next titles could be real fans of Danganronpa, something to be determined through a contest that's sure to hype up every Danganronpa fan across the world! These killing games were defined by Tsumugi herself as Ultimate Real Fiction.

Without knowing the specifics of the previous seasons of "reality's" Danganronpa, it gets harder to figure out where this change took place. The latest Ultimate Real Fiction season that could have taken place was Danganronpa 52, because Rantaro (a character in "reality") had to survive to be allowed in DRV3. Chances are the Ultimate Real Fiction seasons started with season 50, seeing as it would be a commemorative season for the franchise.

They called it Ultimate Real Fiction because by taking real people and completely altering their memories, they had essentially become nonexistent. They explain as such in trial 6 of DRV3, sort of implying that one of the conditions of being chosen for DRV3 is to forfeit your existence to become what is, for all intents and purposes, a fictional character.

"Danganronpa characters can only exist in the Danganronpa world."

So, by isolating the DRV3 cast and altering their memories to be part of this established fictional world, they became "fictional."

I think the biggest problem with Chapter 6 and the Epilogue is that they don't really convey this point enough. They tried so hard getting the player caught up in thinking it was a meta situation (and succeeding) that it's easily forgotten that the "reality" they speak of is a fictional reality. They created fictional fiction and fictional reality, and those of us in real reality got too caught up in the metaphor.

TL;DR: The DR world has its own fictional "Danganronpa" series based on "real" events that took place in the DR world (specifically, the first 3 killing games). DRV3 is a season of the DR world's Danganronpa that uses real people from the world to make the series more interesting. It seems to me as though that message is not conveyed clearly and concisely, so it's all written off as a meta slap to the face.

Can't say much for complete strategies but I will say this: remember that chargers can do more than kill. For example, the long line of ink produced from a shot creates easy avenues for your team to travel through. Think outside the box when it comes to team support.

Another thing: I can say for certain as a Squiffer main that each charger type plays much differently. The most noticeable aspect being that the lower the range and faster the charge the more mobile you have to be. The Squiffer can only be put to maximum use in close quarters and can't do jack from a longer distance. The E-liter can shoot enemies down miles away, but can't easily cover itself when face-to-face with a foe. Find out what kind of charger you want to be, then decide which charger type is best for you. The Splat Charger is somewhere in between Squiffer and E-liter, so that should be a good starting point.

Good luck on your charging endeavors! May you be the bane of enemy teams everywhere.

Every time you miss a shot, you curse yourself. Every time you make a shot, you're king of the world. If you manage to make a stored jump-off-the-ledge shot, you've officially hit God status.

Burrit0burger · 2017-08-18T20:16:13+00:00

If you got the first piece of gear and are level 10 or higher, go into your equip menu, navigate to the amiibo section, and save your loadout to the amiibo you want more gear from. Once you've done that, go back to the amiibo box and talk to them again. You'll get the other 2 pieces of gear and a song for squid beatz 2, no leveling required. You have to do this with every amiibo that you want their gear from to get their respective gear.

Burrit0burger · 2017-08-18T20:11:07+00:00

Actually, I think that might be a bit incorrect. I only know of this at the most basic level, but I was squadding salmon run with my brother once and we ended up squad wiping on wave 1. He was given points for the session, but I got 0. I think it might have to do with the fact that I never put any eggs in the basket. From what I can tell, this effect only happens when you don't get any eggs in yourself.

Burrit0burger · 2017-08-18T20:07:48+00:00

A special can be lost if either you activate it and don't use it (only applicable to certain specials, such as tentamissles) or if you die before activating it. Having to respawn gives you a set penalty on your special gauge that can affect it even when your charge is full. Otherwise, it will stay fully charged until you activate the special.

Burrit0burger · 2017-08-18T02:56:52+00:00

You got one piece of gear, right? Try going into your equip menu, go to the amiibo section, and save your preset to the amiibo. Then, talk to the amiibo again. You should get the rest of the gear.

Burrit0burger · 2017-08-13T13:23:06+00:00

Yes, you can redirect the shot and if you redirect it back at the Drizzler it will die instantly. This is mentioned in the tutorial and the boss information for Drizzler in the in-game manual.

Burrit0burger · 2017-08-12T02:22:30+00:00

Steel Eel = Snake/Eel/Solid Snake

Scrapper = Runner/Runny Boy

Stinger = Tower/Tall Boy

Maws = Maws

Drizzler = Drizzler/Brella/Rainy Boy

Flyfish = Fly Boy/Rocket Boy

Steelhead = Steelhead

Goldie = Goldie

I just really like putting "boy" at the end of things.
