Question/Request Are the new amiibos online only?

Thumbnail
Upvotes

I went to target first thing this morning and had a team member type in the product ID and he said none of the targets hold the amiibos in stock and they haven’t had any shipments for them either. I was able to pick up the game, but I purposely didn’t order the amiibos online last night because I figured I’d just pick them all up in person. Pretty bummed out because now they’re sold out online.

Edit: Just for extra detail I’m in NA east coast

None of the other modes do it for me. Maybe a little salmon run. Anyone else feel this way?

Question/Request Tips for new squiffer (to get better than I already am

2 Upvotes

I need tips for new squiffer, i think I am pretty good at it and i have been playing splatoon 3 for a few months now and getting into everything

im pretty good at the weapon im trying to 5 star it, which right now i have 3 stars almost 4

right now I’ve been on a losing streak and im not sure what im doing wrong

I think it’s because i try to flick shot too much instead of just focusing on a target or positioning idk man

heres two replay codes, one of me winning which is this: RXQO-56VP-KE32-4VDW

and one of me playing pretty bad: R5CP-21AN-3KVD-CQ3E

help i wanna get really good at the game and actually get past c- in anarchy battles and not get cooked by a bloblobber or an aerospray rg in turf war 😭😭😭

Discussion I desperately want Splat 2’s ranked and league battle systems back. Some of the most fun I’ve had in gaming…

10 Upvotes

I haven’t enjoyed Splat 3’s ranked system that much in comparison, and Raiders is a totally different focus.

I just loved seeing when Rainmaker or tower was on and me and my friends would jump on, seeing how we ranked in that two hour chunk compared to other teams was so fun…

Discussion After Alterna is a pile of crap

0 Upvotes

So I never finished S3 way back when. Decided I'd do it before Raiders hits. Got through the main campaign easy enough. Unlocked the special kettle, it takes me to After Alterna. Where to even start with this level. Phase 1 took me an hour and felt more like a troll level than a serious challenge. Phase 2 took me two hours because it deminds extremely high precision in a couple sections. Only you don't have a precision weapon. The number of time RNG would decide to coat a balloon instead of pop it was...ugh. Phase 3 was actually pretty enjoyable. Reasonably challenging, no trolling...A+. Phase 4 is where I'm stuck. It genuinely seems impossible. The 3rd wave is stupid hard. I can't fight off 10 guys at once, all with bombs and specials. I feel like you'd need luck to win more than skill. I can't dodge 3 specials, 2 bombs, and sustained enemy fire all at once, and I certainly can't create an escape route from said gauntlet while doing any kind of proactive attack at all. There's too many enemies firing too many specials throwing too many bombs and laying down too much ink. You can't even stealth it because they have the radar special.

I have tried camping one of the "rear" corners. It's fine until wave 3 when they find you with radar and you get 2 or 3 penta-missiles, several bombs and like 5 enemies come for you at once. I just don't see how this can be done without both a serious amount of skill AND a serious amount of luck. ​​

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but anyways im new to splatoon. (Got the game 2 days ago) and have noticed a lot of people use the golden aerospray. I wanted to know why? Im only level 7 so its not like I have it, but i tried the starter one and the aerosprays just dont seem that good.

I've Always hated trying to fight .gals but I see the Sheer power it holds. It genuinely feels MORE unfair to use that a Sniper tbh. Anyone else feel this way about using or fighting .gals?

One of my favorite things to do in this game is play Salmon Run. I am by no means claiming to be the best at the game I would say I'm much better than average. I start most maps at 200 and two of the maps at 300. My peak non gold rotation is 700. I would like to play with anyone who is not a thrower. Freelance is FULL of throwers. The ones who put in 0-9 eggs in 3 waves while you and everyone else has 20-40. 🫠

Just looking for anyone that wants to play. I don’t know many people irl who play this game and I’d love to meet more people in the community. I’m 24 so it would be great if you’re in the same age range (ish) as me. Thanks!
