Topic: Splatoon 3

@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!

Yeah, pretty good weapons in salmon run right now, and it's on the easiest map, Gone Fission Hydroplant.

@Fizza Wait, that affects regular jumps? I didn't realize that at all. I thought it would make super jumps go faster, or something like that. I would play that challenge again, but it's not there anymore. Really don't like how the challenges are only on certain times.

@WoomyNNYes Did you send me an in-game invite? If you did, sorry I couldn't join you. I tried doing just that, but the game told me that your lobby was closed.

@MarioLover92 Ehh, the invite feature is kind of junk. You can only act on the invite if you're not in a match, and 98% of the time, people are usually in a match. I've tried joining a family friend several times, and it never works out. Sometimes people stay with their teammates, and a spot doesn't open. Sometimes you wait for someone to finish their match, and it turns out, they weren't going to play another round. And Salmon Run can last anywhere from a couple minutes to like 12-13 minutes? (if you get a king salmonid), which I rarely have the patience to wait more than 7-10 minutes. The invite feature sends an invite to every switch friend that's online in splatoon. I created a room and knew I created it in vain, and I closed it.🤣

Just an FYI, the Catalog Close Out is now active! You can get a bonus on leveling up you catalog so now is the time to finish it out before Drizzle Season begins!

(Oh! Maybe they are angry at Big Guy because he betrayed them with making a song with the Squid Sisters. Looking at the brochure Fry is holding... 😂)

@Budda HOLY F*** THIS IS THE BEST DEEP CUT SONG OF THE LOT WOW 🤩

also poor Big Man; the dude just wanted to do some collabs and is getting absolutely HOUNDED for it now by Shiver and Frye 😭

@Fizza

How could Shiver and Frye do this?! All Big Man did was try to make some good music, and in the name of closing cultural divides (no money in his heart either). And not only do they BEAT HIM UP, but in the interest of getting a slice of the takings. And they talk about the Squid Sisters as if they've never met them, and despise their guts.

BM's definitely getting my vote for the coming Splatfest.

I love Liquid Sunshine and as a regular on both the Inkopolis and Splatsville Plazas I think I it was a great collab! Leave Big Man alone Shiver and Frye!!

Hey Fizza, don't know if you're aware, but you're in a Prochara video.

@Fizza question/post at 3:55 of the above video, if that helps anyone. @Fizza, is that your post in the ProChara video above?

edit: added this direct link to the video's time stamp, but I'm not embedding it, since the video is already embedded above. https://youtu.be/YQ7kKa-UL4c?si=z_M1SXz14AoVmBWK&t=234

@BingelyBongley @WoomyNNYes Yeah! I was watching the video earlier on and I couldn't believe it myself but I'm absolutely thrilled that I managed to get in (let alone for him to actually agree with me! 🤩)

@WoomyNNYes Yeah, that sucks. I thought I'd be nice and join you, but I just couldn't make it happen, unfortunately. Do you have Discord? I have it, and that makes it much easier to set up play sessions.

My friend is in a Chara video!?!

@MarioLover92 It was hilarious. The moment I noticed you joined me was the moment you splatted me & I saw your name near the end of a match at Museum Alfonso.🤣 At least we got a couple wins together. ...Then I watched some replays to see your view of the matches in a couple matches.

I don't have a discord.

I want a Side Order update. I know this is a given in this thread, but I'm getting nervous that it's going to be pushed back beyond the one year anniversary of Splatoon 3 launch.

(Octo Expansion released one year after Splatoon 2 launched, for anyone that is new to Splatoon. Splatoon 2 launched in july, then Octo came july of the next year.)

@WoomyNNYes Octo Expansion was June 2018 where they used the "out tomorrow" reveal strategy at the E3 2018 Splatoon 2 tourney. Given still no sign of Side Order, the only way I see it happening with the next season is if Nintendo does a Direct on August 29th/30th as August 31st (2am UK time I think?) is when the update happens.

I'm thinking though that Direct will be early September and Side Order being November or February.
