Topic: Splatoon 3

@BingleyBongley
Imagine if splatcolour screen hid your teammates name tags and turned on friendly fire- it would be a solo q nightmare!

And for side order I hope it is released in fresh season- either at the very start like inkopolis or around late march early April.

hi guys i'm back

i got the big man amiibo

@Croctopus you got a point, you got go left right up and down to make you a hard target for using inkjet. Also the aim is just slow as heck even in 2 the aim was more slower, oh yeah i got it at Amazon for Christmas my grandma told the official one was sold so she had to get it another way crazy right

@Croctopus sort of disagree with you. Ink jet is one of the strongest specials in the game right now, but still has counter play and is still punishable. It's in a spot where it's strong but doesn't feel unfair. And splattercolor screen is weak due to being situational and awful at retaking, but it's not that bad and certainly won't destroy any kits it's on (unless if it has awful synergy with the rest of the kit).

I guess you and I have very different view points because you play longer ranged weapons. I see how, for a long ranged weapon, both of these specials could be awful (ink jet is easy to reach and pressure, your teammates screens can block your sightlines). Interesting to see how differently we see the game based on what we play (would be curious to hear if anyone else thinks something completely different about these specials which hasn't already been mentioned).

good afternoon everyone

What is the point of this FrostyFest now that the holidays are over? This is stupid.

@vio
It's a Winter event. "Frosty"
They're always in January.

January's Salmon Run gear is the Hacker Jacket.

I see a brand new banner in-game, yellowish? with pretzels and rolls. I'm suspecting splatoon twitter may have a QR code for it? Keep your eyes peeled. I don't have a twitter account, so I can't check.

Also, if you haven't checked already, Switch news has a new splatoon article (NA) with downloadable splatfest themed gear and a wintery banner. So click the button at the bottom of the article to get the gear & banner (if any of you are new to getting gear from a switch news article).

I've been plugging away trying to get one with ink saver sub.😁

@CaleBoi25 That new pastel banner you got is fresh! Haven't been playing as much recently because I've been playing Forza Horizon 5 with my brother - the hotwheels dlc and the rally expedition content (in case anyone is familiar).

@WoomyNNYes
That's the banner of this season. (From the catalogue)

@Budda Might be embarrassing if I already have it, and forgot I had it.😆😁

@Budda Uhm, the team selection is "Who do you spend the HOLIDAYS with?" I think I am sitting this one out. Splatoween was really cool, but like I said, this is stupid. It should have taken place in mid-December.

@vio
It's close enough though. And they probably speculate that people get the game during holiday and make frostyfest a little later so nobody misses that event.
Plus... The answer to that question probably doesn't change anyway.

@vio While I would have liked it to take place in December, do you really expect anyone to play mid-holiday season? ...Other than Team Solo, I suppose!

Since splatoon 2, splatfests always skip December, and they have the holiday splatfest in mid january, like they are doing now. As much as i want a December splatfest, im always busy holiday shopping and doing stuff in the weeks leading up to Christmas, i usually don't have the time. I figured nintendo doesn't want to encroach on decemer holiday family time.

@WoomyNNYes Holiday FAMILY time, ofc implying that that is the best time to spend around the holidays!

@CaleBoi25 Adults perhaps, but I don't see kids being that busy.

Yeah, but the point is that a sizeable portion of players wouldn't be able to take part in the event.
