Topic: Splatoon 3

The only thing left that I want from this summer's catalog is the nineties jacket, level 90, but I'm only at catalog level 67. Not sure I'm going to make it to 90 before the new season starts. What date does new season start?

I'm guessing when the new game/dlc/Side Order releases that will bring in new waves of new content for catalogs for the next 12 months.

@Fizza I think it could be something to do with the Switch's successor. Nintendo's in an awkward position where the past years have been so strong for Switch that it's exhausted a lot of options for launch window titles for the successor if it's appearing anytime soon. Perhaps it ends up being that Animal Crossing is a launch title which takes resources away from Splatoon 3?

@WoomyNNYes The new season begins September 1st.

Hello! I'm Caleb, I'm new to the site (well I've been reading for 3 years but just got an account). Anyway, what are your guys' thoughts on Drizzle Season 2023?

EDIT: Figured it out lol

@croctopus I'm just excited for the emote "Deepest Cut" lol

Talking about the catalogues. I couldn't care less about gear or decorations. All I care about are the emotes and banners.
And the updates in general are great. Just remember content updates in past Splatoon titles. There was no indication when we'd get new content, maps and weapons/weapon kits. Only from Directs or random twitter drops. A set schedule for new content is already huge for this franchise.

While I'm underwhelmed by drizzle season catalog & gear (lack of new gear), maybe we have to accept we're at the end of Splatoon 3's first year. Maybe this is the new normal, and more representative of the rate of new gear coming out. Nintendo still has new stuff coming, though. We still have a direct coming between now and the end of september, still have Side Order (new single player campaign) coming (which will bring new gear). The two new stages look decent. I'm looking forward to new weapons & kits. There's still new monthly gear in salmon run. There's still a Splatfest coming, and then a Big Run. We'll probably get a new samlon run map before the end of the year. And if they follow a schedule similar to Splatoon 2, we've got a new sub weapon & special weapon to expect in this next year.

Welcome @CaleBoi25.

EDIT: Oh yeah, as @Budda said, we still get new emotes in this catalog. Anything is better than the Stuntin' emote, THE lamest emote.🤣 It's so corny. (Just my opinion. No offense if anyone likes it. You're allowed to like things, even if I don't.) I don't think I've ever seen anyone use Stuntin' in-game. If I do see it, I expect it's used ironically. (Hmmm, maybe now I'm going to have to start using it, because I think it's so awful.😁)

What's everyone's least favorite emote?🤔

Undulator is still one of my favorites, and it's what I've been using since it came out & I got it.

Least-favorite emote? That's gotta go to Twirl Power or Ready Stance, for sure! (Maybe Robo Steppin' too.)

@CaleBoi25 Oh, that's funny. Robo Steppin' is my second favorite.😁 But I have noticed that I almost never see anyone else using it. So, what's your emote now? Or your personal top two? (Anyone else can answer, too)

@woomyNNyes Double Cross Dab, which I missed out on originally but got from the Shell-Out Machine. I also like MVPleased and the Reppin' Inkopolis one for Sloshers.

@WoomyNNYes Double Cross Dab for life! (Still can't believe they actually added it to the game)

I'm honestly just disappointed that only 8 new kits are being added, and that most of them seem worse than the vanilla kits.

I like the Windmill Whip the best, that's the emote that I have equipped currently. Love the ending pose for it, too.

I do not like the Humpback Pumptrack stage. But it is kinda nice having two main abilities of Sub Power Up so you can throw a suction bomb far enough to reach the popular sniper camping spot from a safer distance.

(Kind of ironic, the guy that likes riding pumptracks does not like this stage?😆 I usually will not play turf war if Humpback Pumptrack is one of the active stages.)

@MarioLover92 I just joined you for three turf war matches. Dont know if you noticed. (SpaceDandy is my user name)

@woomynnyes Might I ask how you linked a video in your signature?

@CaleBoi25 hit quote on this post to see the code

@WoomyNNYes Thanks!

@WoomyNNYes I did notice! It was cool playing with you, thanks for dropping in.

After having missed it during it's previous run, I finally got around to checking out Extreme Jump Battle (aka the one everyone loves) and goddamn: it really is just as fun as everyone says it is. The increased jump height makes the maps, which are otherwise decent at best or just plain bad to play on, so much more fun as it opens up new options/avenues that wouldn't have been possible beforehand (the walls around Museum D'Alfonsino are a great example of this, those things are so much fun to just go over and target someone hiding behind them). And especially as a Blaster main? Nothing feels better than leaping high into the air to pick off every member of the enemy team camping the tower in Tower Control.

I genuinely hope they add Extreme Jump as another Ranked/Anarchy option someday honestly, one of my favourite new additions in 3!

Loving this salmon rotation, just made it to Eggsecutive vp 400!
