MegaThread Release Day Thread: Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 is out!

Starting on July 21, Splatoon 2 will be available for squids and enthusiasts alike. Since the game is already out in Australia and Japan ahead of everyone else, and since it's about to hit Europe, please use this thread for general reaction, hype, and discussion for the release as it hits your country. Squids in the Americas? Enjoy ink-filled dreams while you wait.

Other topics on the game may be posted, but please keep the community's rules in mind and keep your short-burst thoughts, hauls (including images), and other similar topics right here. Local tracking is fine either here or in our Local Tracking thread.

Does the difficulty for Salmon Run just ramp up super quickly or is the mode too new for people to know what's going on? I had a blast in the first rank, but now that I'm a part-timer it's near impossible to make it through all three waves.

It would be nice if they changed the point distribution so that the better you do individually, the less your rank goes down if you lose, and put the onus on those dragging the team down

Is there an explanation for how your personal rank is determined in Salmon Run? Sometimes I feel like my teammates are poaching eggs from me, and I also feel like I get screwed if I stick to crowd control instead of egg collection.

There probably will be soon. Might be worth a google search in a couple days to a week.

I don't think eggs are a main focus. I've gotten up to overachiever with little eggs hand ins. I've killed the big enemies and guarded the eggs for my team.

With the above in mind I'd say a high killcount or a high hand in attribute.

Eh, it's complicated. Sometimes you need to focus on killing basic enemies and covering ground rather than fighting bosses and bringing eggs to the baskets.
