Topic: Splatoon 3

@BingleyBongley I need to get much better at using those sneaky squid manoeuvres! My play style hasn’t changed that much since Splatoon 2 and I feel I’m not using the expanded movement options to their full potential.

Oh my god that first video is amazing (they wanted you DEAD dead 😭)

I still haven't reached X Battles myself (still stuck in A Rank hell XD) but I'm glad to see you're having a great time with it! Especially with the Undercover Brella too; you're an absolute trooper XD

@Maxz Actually, I think I squid roll WAY too often. It's slower than just swimming normally and gives away your position. In the videos I got away with it because I had cover, mines set, and my brella shield ready.

@Fizza Once the new season starts, I'll be in s rank and lose access to x battles, so I'm trying to play as many as I can when I still can (At least I'll have the awesome new undercover kit to make the grind a bit more bearable).

You mentioned "especially with the undercover brella", but it's not as weak as people think it is. I think the misunderstanding comes from competitive players like chara who love to say that it's the weakest weapon in the game. It's the weakest weapon in the game... in organized team play. In team play you can just shout "BRELLA ON TOWER" or something and everyone on your team will throw bombs and shred the brella shield. Is undercover strong? No, not at all. But is it the weakest weapon in solo q? Probably not.

This is the first season where I've currently failed to promote to S rank (stuck at A+ rank). Does that mean I'll be A rank in the next season?

@Croctopus Since Splatoon 2, I think the winter holiday themed splatfests have, so far, always been in january.

@Croctopus I think given we got a Splatfest in November that FrostyFest will be early January.

I’m worried for BR on Barnacle and Dime considering the map is already a tetris piece small as it is. Still hope it’s fun though as I like BR most of the time

This here's the outfit I'm gonna main, once I finish my goal of farming every ability chunk on all other clothes that matches each one's primary ability (which will involve a LOT of grinding for gold, luckily I have a ton of those tickets to help with that since I don't have any tickets to get the "respawn faster" chunks). Hopefully by "Drizzle Season 2024" I'll have it all finished.

@IceDomino Cool! I like it! I'm cheap so I don't spend ability chunks on good looking gear. My outfits are straight out of a horror movie.

@BingleyBongley For the record, the mask is from Shiver’s amiibo.

Interesting. Triple Splashdown... Hope it's more useful than its original. 🤔

The Triple Splashdown is... weird. I'm definitely happy to see it back, but I thought Reefslider was meant to replace the Splashdown? If so, what's going to be Reef's purpose now?

@StarPoint
I think Reef is more like a save way to get into certain spots, and less a splatting special or panik button.
Triple Splashdown is more like a kamikaze panik button. In situations where you can't realistically escape, where even super jumping out is too slow, you can at least take your enemy with you. Plus you can technically use it offensively with the super jump and at save spots, behind low walls or something with a surprise attack. This thing has so much range, if the enemy doesn't see you beforehand, you are quite save from being shot down.

@IceDomino Oh, you got those shoes!? I want those shoes! I regret not unlocking those shoes and Seafoam baseball hat from previous catalogs. Even if I see someone in splatsville wearing them, the game won't allow me to order them. I guess I have to wait for the spring catalogue to re-issue them. I think that's the only catalogue I didn't complete.

i am really happy for this

when it came down to splashdown for me it was a incredible that they did made a simple thing yet a creative special and i was sad when they didn't released it first day

also @IceDomino i have the amiibo tooo

Funny how the video showing the new special still has the player being splatted, like they’re reminding us that just because it’s new and powerful, doesn’t mean you’re totally invincible.

Dark Tetra Dualies was my main in Splatoon 2 which had Splashdown so it'll be nice to check out the Dualies + Splashdown combo in Splatoon 3.

@IceDomino oh yeah i remember that i splatted some people while they were in the start up animation really funny
