345% Difficulty Salmon Run

Think you're good at Salmon Run? Watch Japanese player ku achieve 345% difficulty in this video. He finishes the day with over 20000p.
Originally streamed on OpenRec by ku: www.openrec.tv...
Note: Nowadays 435% is commonly achieved by top players, however at the time this was streamed, this was the highest score anyone had achieved.

[@WhatAKlutz]

You know what's the best part of this? *the players actually listen to each other*

[@orange_enthusiast7083]

Blondie woah

[@gaygengar]

now that's some teammates that actually DO something

[@cyberinvisible7291]

Mary Kosc that is a fact my friend, once I had this guy on my team with a charger and that round was the low tide event. So we started to swim to the tide and fight off the enemies, seems normal right? Well no, because a few seconds in I realized that there were only three of us fighting off the salmonoid. So I look at the top of my screen to see that there are four of us, I figure he lagged out so I started to swim around and- (You're gonna love this-) There he was! the guy with the charger on the opposite side of the map, shooting the water and spamming the " This way!" Button while everyone else was retrieving eggs! Sometimes you gotta wonder what's going on through those kind of players heads😂😂😂

[@cyberinvisible7291]

Radiøactive Artist :3 lol

[@TheMaestroChannel]

Right? I've gotten up to 320% which is definitely hard but definitely plausible if you've got the right teammates. It's not hard to get to professional but I'm curious how certain people maintain that rank with a lack of common sense.

[@brettbrett678]

TheMaestroChannel Right I've literally been trying to get my pay grade up but I get stuck with people who collect eggs but then they wont deliver them to the basket and keep fighting and die which then we run out of time because we don't meet the quota

Yeah It's sad I don't have a switch

[@vhavahgmh]

Cosnzaid36, Most humans on the planet don't either

[@cosnzaid3636]

The switch costs like $400 dollars

[@doveinjune]

Cosnzaid36 $300 here in the u.s.

[@sphere9838]

Nintendo really needs to pick up the pace with switch supply.

[@J.C136]

im glad that even at the higher levels, the practise of abandoning other players when taking the lift is alive and well

[@JamUsagi]

To me the lift is more for emergencies than anything. Plus leaving players behind means they can ink the sides, meaning they won't be caught out when everything gets more hectic and the lift goes up without them later on.

[@ASlyF0x]

First round of salmon Americans: 8 eggs these guys: 20 eggs

[@Vector3Gaming]

If you're wondering, down on the d-pad says: naisu (Like 'Nice' but in a japanese accent). Up on the d-pad says: kamon (Like 'Come On' but in a Japanese accent). No joke this is the truth!

TokoWH Sorry, OpenRec lags like a beeyatch from where I live. I left the original link in the description if anyone wants to try streaming it themselves. Good luck though cuz I left the video on for like 10 minutes and it still buffered at times >_>

[@garyconstanza3120]

It's always the Japanese...

[@squidsofty8507]

Please don't say Japs. That's considered an ethnic slur that's offensive.

[@mustyz_]

Boruto Dog actually Japanese people dont consider that offensive at all. They just think of it as a slightly easier way for foreigners to speak about their culture. The only people offended by it a over-sensitive weeaboo westerners.

[@rivetgunner]

Actually, we do feel offended thank you very much. The only people who are not offended are those who think, "hey, it's just an abbreviation."

[@sunayoru]

+Musty260 Wrong.

[@huynh8976]

Gary Tomás Constanza Martinez Umm, plz tone down the racist comment.

[@NFS4LFE]

The amazing part about this video is that there are Japanese people who own Switches!

[@Exaskryz]

That is the one plus about Splatoon 2. Hardly any Japanese. But play Splatoon, And you can only find Japanese (at S+ rank, most Americans and Europeans and Australians and other westerners Are terrible at this Game.)

[@sabetasama]

That's probably because it's region locked unless you make a foreign account.

[@IkilledA0livebox]

sabetasama splatoon 2 isn't region locked (apart for region specific splatfests) you don't see players from other regions because the game is trying to match you with players that are closer to you in order to minimize lag.

[@NFS4LFE]

Supplies are very low though. It's well documented how hard it is to get one over there.

[@PlumSuki]

Rude

[@TrentMkw]

I'm pretty sure your current difficulty is paygrade % -100. The game starts you with 110% paygrade after beating the tutorials, and losing your first match at wave 1 results in 105% paygrade, being 5% difficulty. Profreshional rank starts out at 100% difficulty (paygrade 200%). Once you reach 300% paygrade (440 points into Profreshional), you play at max difficulaty which is 200%. Anything higher is just bonus % to your paygrade.

[@TheZeroJoker]

I've hit 620 as well. The problem is that the egg quota starts getting very high, and with the difficulty as high at is, it's tough to carry randoms to victory. But if you play with friends, you run into another problem: if your friends also have 400-500 rank points, the egg quota gets ASTRONOMICALLY high due to the averaged-out difficulty level. 21 is the highest quota I've seen, so these guys must have multiple players with hundreds of points to see the 22 quota in wave 3. I can't even imagine what it's like if you have four players with 999 points in the same lobby...

[@Spiralviper]

The point limit was confirmed to be 600!

[@TheZeroJoker]

Confirmed by whom? The point limit is 999, even the official guide shows you the pay grade all the way up to 999. I've definitely had more than 600.

[@TheZeroJoker]

Here's a screenshot of me at 620 points. i.imgur.com/a8xcrbM.jpg

[@destionancy3068]

345 + high tide? FUCK NO!

[@voidem7685]

The max difficulty is 200% no?

[@harrihamalainen619]

Void 'em Nope, it can go above 200% it just stays as profreshional.

[@voidem7685]

Harri Hämäläinen I'm pretty sure in the direct they said the difficulty scales from 5% to 200%, and I'm confident that paygrade doesn't mean difficulty due to the way scaling works having 4 people all possibly having different paygrades

[@bananamcfruitington3107]

Void 'em I'm not sure about the 200% difficuly max thing, I was at 110 Profreshional with 210%ish paygrade and I never had a 22 golden egg wave requirement in wave 3 like in this video: 5:00

[@voidem7685]

Banana McFruitington pay grade doesn't mean difficulty my dude, and In the direct they said that the difficulty scales from 5% to 200%

[@voidem7685]

[@brados25z6]

Mukkimoo Alt Bruh I always went in to Asian rooms in splat 1 but eventually I figured them out, and god beware me if you used Luna blasters because I made those losers life's hell

[@cleverean21]

Yoshanozz the furthest I've gotten was 270% It's freaking ridiculous

[@BravoSquid]

How can you tell the difficulty %?

[@Leon-gu1cc]

At 0:20 you can see "340%". That means, your paygrade (I think its called like that?) is your difficulty level.

[@BlueGamesandStuff]

Leon Mine is like around 190%, is that good?

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

I just hit 215% last night.

[@andrevaldivia244]

My highest was profreshional 380 (dont know the paygrade )

[@Narillia]

pay grade is not difficulty, 200% pay grade is 100% difficulty, being profreshional 40. I'm not sure how it works past 300% pay, since 200% is the max difficulty. So for under 300% pay, difficulty is "pay - 100% = difficulty"

[@SteamPoweredFox]

Best I can do so far is 230%, thank you whoever keeps throwing chargers into the rotation

[@SplashAttackTCG]

Here in America, we fight about who gets to take the egg to the basket. In Japan, they have wars on who isn't taking enough eggs to the freakin basket.

[@sphere9838]

Man these guys have balls.

[@Doodoovessel]

Sphere Japanese men don't have big genetalia on average, I doubt they have bigger ones than mine. This means I am better than this noobs, I got to level difficulty 9000%.

Is anyone gonna talk about that bullshit at 4:29 they were all dead it should have been over

[@pikachu2593]

Ben Weldon If any kind of player-attached entity is still on the map, the round still goes until the entity disappears.

[@xMirukanis]

Ben Weldon One of them probably splatted teammate and the splat landed right after they died

[@JamUsagi]

It's like how when you throw bombs at the end of a turf war, the game continues until the bombs explode.

[@mewwishtimer7285]

Bruh

[@ichi5279]

damn that guy is good with the splatling

[@FlammieLL]

These guys were starting at 18 Eggs needed on the first wave, indicating the higher difficulty. When you start fresh from Profreshional, you will have around 12 Eggs to start, so the difficulty increase has been scaled down, you just have be more successful before you can achieve even higher difficulties. Compared that to your own, the highest i've ever beaten is 15... And yes, you NEED competent players in order to do this. Otherwise Profeshional is not that hard, it gets harder the longer you play (win and get a raise).

[@squiddler7731]

It's impressive that they made it to such a high difficulty, but they didn't actually get that many eggs. I've had rounds were me and the rest of my team managed to pull in well over 80 eggs by the third wave.

[@Magilouser]

I'm working my way up there, currentlu at 250% its fun getting to the point when it doesn't matter if you lose anymore coz you're well over max

[@avin9106]

I thought 200% was the max. That's what developers have been saying.

[@kouyasakurada5547]

Difficulty caps at 200%, but pay grade keeps going up. Eventually you can get a high enough paygrade to always get 1-2 bonuses per game or more. I guess if you want to farm for chunks, this is an okay way to do it.

thats just his pay grade...

WHICH equals difficulty.............

no it doesnt

[@kuhakuoreo6726]

Yes it does actually

that would mean you start at 100% difficulty online and guess what. you dont start at 100% difficulty in online, because the average player would not be able to beat that.

[@kartink6357]

GG

[@BryceDixonDev]

This isn't 345% difficulty. Difficulty in Salmon Run goes to a maximum of 200% according to local play and the way to achieve it is to play on 100% difficulty in a local match and then continue winning (when playing at 100% difficulty, every wave will go up by 5% difficulty) for 20 waves where you'll be at 200%. Ku got a reward bonus of 345%, but wasn't playing at 345% difficulty. In random lobbies, you start with 100% reward bonus but really that's just 5% difficulty.
