How fast is the regen?

Also depending on distance it might be enough for a 3HKO

We have all the full facts now: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/0...pon-adjustments-salmon-run-splatfest-changes/

Changes to Salmon Run

Changes made to the Sting Ray and Splashdown specials for multiplayer also apply to their use in Salmon Run.
Bombs thrown by the Steelhead will no longer land on top of Flyfish or Scrappers.
Fixed an issue causing no damage to be dealt to Steel Eels hit with a Sting Ray if the Sting Ray’s shot inked any portion of the Steel Eel other than the pilot even slightly.
Fixed an issue preventing damage from being dealt to a Griller hit with a Sting Ray attempting to hit its weak point by shooting through it. Sting Rays that only hit the main body of a Griller will now also deal some damage.
Fixed an issue causing Steelheads that appeared in specific locations of the Lost Outpost stage not to attack.
Fixed an issue where two players attempting to pick up a single Golden Egg just prior to the end of a wave caused one of them to be unable to pick up any Golden Eggs during the following wave.
Fixed an issue where after playing Salmon Run online, players from your session who appeared in Inkopolis Square were always equipped with the Splattershot Jr.
Fixed an issue where players who disconnected just prior to starting a round of play would appear to be holding a Rainmaker-like weapon.
Fixed an issue causing the location of the arrow indicating the player’s character as well as their title to be incorrect on the result screen when other players disconnected just prior to the end of a round of play.
Fixed an issue causing players using Roller-type weapons to get a communications error after holding the inking button for an extended period.



Changes to Splatfest

Fixed an issue where during a Splatfest, all players you recently played with appeared in Inkopolis Square with a Splatfest Tee with no slots filled in, regardless of the actual status of their Splatfest Tee.



Experience points required to fill in slots on Splatfest Tees have been changed in the following ways:
Slot 1 – 4000 > 7500
Slot 2 – 8000 > 7500
Slot 3 – 12000 > 7500
Total – 24000 > 22500



Changes to Multiplayer

In Ranked Battle, regarding the special gauge increasing automatically based on mode-specific conditions, until now the special gauge would fill up regardless of the points required for the main weapon being used. Now, main weapons with a lower special gauge point requirement will have their gauges filled faster, and those with a higher point requirement will have their gauges filled more slowly.
Fixed an issue causing the area below where shots from a Sloshing Machine or Rainmaker hit a wall to not be inked.
Fixed an issue where players with the Inkbrush or Octobrush equipped occasionally dealt continuous damage to opponents when coming into contact with them on uninkable surfaces.
Fixed an issue causing Sponges touched by an Inkbrush or Octobrush to expand rapidly.
Fixed an issue where players with a Roller or Brella-type weapon equipped would temporarily be unable to recover from damage after coming into direct contact with an opponent and being knocked back.
Fixed an issue preventing players from damaging opponents via direct contact immediately after performing a vertical swing with a Roller-type weapon.
Ink splats will no longer appear on players submerged in ink when hit by a Sting Ray fired by one of their allies.
Fixed an issue causing shots from the Inkjet to occasionally disappear without exploding when hitting stage objects at certain angles.
Fixed an issue where players with active Ink Armor hit by the Splat Brella would react as though protected by the armor, but also as if they had taken damage.
Fixed an issue preventing ink from properly appearing on walls where the wall intersected with a grate.
Fixed an issue when using Spectator Mode in Private Battle that caused Squid Beakons to not be destroyed after being used.
Fixed an issue causing walls intersecting with grates to appear uninked when hit with the explosion from a Suction Bomb.
Fixed an issue causing players to clip into stage objects on Sturgeon Shipyard.

That's a lot to digest.

Imma just enjoy a proactive approach to balancing games.

In other news, Japan finished its second Splatfest: McDonalds Fries VS. McDonalds Chicken Nuggets.

Japanese fries are very loved, but nuggets won.

A bit surprised that the win ratio was that close anyway.

EDIT: The brand new Splatfest theme has been announced. LET US ALL SETTLE THE OLD AGE QUESTION.

In other news, the Tenta Brella weapon is now available. First announced at the Nintendo Direct on the 13th, this is an umbrella-type that resembles a camping tent and is much bigger in size than the Splat Brella, but it's also slower. It has the Squid Beakon sub weapon and the Bubble Blower special weapon. It becomes available to players when they reach level 23 (which means I only have one level to go :3). I'll certainly give it a spin as soon as I unlock it.

Thoughts?

The weapon is overrated as hell.

You can splat people at point blank up close, but the weapon has an insane cool down period between shots that missing even once means you'll die by someone else with a weapon that doesn't need much precision. And speaking of precision, you HAVE to really have very good aim to even splat in one hit. Otherwise, you're sprinkling. Shooting from afar is not any better for splatting.

The shield is only ever good for Ranked Battle shenanigans, where the game will tell you that this weapon is meant for heavy support, not for going solo. The other two weapons it has should tell you that much.

Signed up with over.

I'll probably engage in SplatFest. My main objective right now is SBC Mane for FIFA Switch.

Snapper Canal dropped in early yesterday before the Bamboozler and Splatfest announcement happened.

The stage is so infiltration heavy, more than Kelp Dome. Right away you can get to the enemy side and continue from there. Hell, you can even reach the opposite spawn point by the wall path if you climb the ledge.

The Bamboozler is kind of an odd weapon for Chargers used to splatting targets in one hit. Sure, the charge is fast, but you need to pray the enemy doesn't move out of the way quickly between shots or you'll lose the chance. You can't cover turf by quickly letting go of the trigger because the ink trails are uneven, but charging quickly is the right way (although the shots are bit uneven even then). Also, no holding charges is an odd choice for this weapon.

That's actually a tough one. I think I'll go for Sci-Fi though.
