Topic: Splatoon 3

I think Nintendo possibly planned to release Side Order in February (sooner, rather than later) because Nintendo probably wants to focus on building hype for the new console for Q3 -Q4 (if that is actually happening).

@WoomyNNYes
I agree, I also think that the next direct will probably be the one of the last directs solely focusing on the switch

OK, so in the Side Order artwork we see Marina, Pearl, Dedf1sh/Acht, Pearl Bot, and Eight, plus the mecha-boss thing, fish enemies, and some clones (?) of Four. But who is the big white alien looking thing next to Dedf1sh??

@CaleBoi25 @Grumblevolcano @BingleyBongley Thank you all for the birthday wishes! And lol, perhaps, @BingleyBongley... seemed like they so planned the timings and everything.

99% convinced this is 4 as it looks way too obvious compared to the other shadows on the tower lmao

Wow, they blew it with the Mincemeat rework. It's better overall than it was, but only slightly so.

The mincemeat "rework" is so funny to me. Like, yes, they made the map better, but they fixed literally NONE of the maps problems. All they needed to add were some paintable walls. I don't understand.

No way they did another pole update y'all! First Wahoo World, now Mincemeat... we cannot escape the poles!

@Croctopus I can't wait for Eggstra Work! But... now I must choose, play my main, S-Blast, or play Dynamo, to avoid getting a horrible teammate and a horrible weapon! And I do have 4 stars on it...

Do mean this? -

They also look a bit like x blood from the manga as well
(in hindsight i think it's just the red eyes lol)

@Croctopus I think it makes a lot of sense. Give players a week to complete Side Order so they can enjoy Fresh Season without having it compete with the DLC. If anything I wish they released it even earlier

God I hate the S-BLAST. What a piece of junk.

When does Side Order expansion release?

@JaxonH feb 22

@vio I’m sorry, WHAT?! SBlast is a really good weapon! Not X but certainly A or S rank!! Now, if you are talking about the vanilla kit, I understand, but this season it got Burst and Booyah Bomb for crying out loud!

@CaleBoi25 Sorry, I absolutely detest it! I could care less about it's kit, I hate the weapon itself and no kit could salvage it. From it's unbelievable slow rate of fire to it's obnoxious stupid mechanic where you have to hop to change the fire mode. Worst blaster ever! In fact I think I'd rate it as the worst weapon in the game period. Any time it shows up in a Salmon Run rotation I want to throw my Switch off a 50 story building. I wish I could get it removed from the game, but alas, it is sadly here to stay.

Everyone has their least favourite weapons lol, mines probably the snipewriter 5h it doesn’t deserve to be how strong it is.

@vio @_Lime If we are talking 'most hated" weapons, mine is Painbrush to fight, Clash Blaster to use.

I don't like using any weapons that have you rapidly tap the ZR button to cover ink. Just because it's not good for my right index finger, so I want to avoid button-mashing if possible. The Splatana comes to mind. It's a cool-looking weapon, but you have to rapidly press ZR for ink coverage. I don't like using chargers either, though I can make some decent plays with them in Salmon Run sometimes.

I actually like the S-Blast quite a bit after some practice, and I'm fairly decent with it... assuming that my aiming doesn't suck, of course. It's real satisfying to one-shot opponents with it, and it gives me some sweet SNES nostalgia... I guess that's what encouraged me to practice using the S-Blast, lol. And I guess blasters in general, too.

Anybody still play this game actively?
Are the servers better and can you join a game in under a minute?
I am asking because I kind of want to get back into this game as I put 245 hours into this game and burned out lol (havent played since the season they added superchump special)
So whats been going on?
