Topic: Splatoon 3

@IceDomino Yes it does + your rank gets reset at the end of every season so starting off fresh for the next season is likely the best case. See here for how they get reset https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Rank#Rank_Reset
Reading your other posts, the lowest level is C-. In Splat 3 you stay in your same rank unless you purposely derank or when the next season arrives unlike in the previous games where losing points would lower your rank. The amount of points you lose depends on your rank, for example the lowest you can lose is -1 in C rank, -2 in B, -3 in A, -4 in S, and -5 in S+ (X is in a different rank of its own with its point system). My advice for Anarchy is to pick a weapon you’re best at, if you focus on splatting and going for the objective go with a frontline weapon and if you provide support to your other teammates go with a backline weapon. What’s your current main?

@luckyseven my gold Aerospray is my favorite. I got it to five stars.

@Fizza
I felt exactly the same, it was amazing but a bit sad no one was there to see it in person and the musicians had no one to clap for them.

@IceDomino
The gold aerospray is more of a ‘support’ (making your teammates job easier) weapon- you try to support your team by painting for them, playing the objective( riding the tower, carrying the rainmaker, painting the splat zone)and charging your special quickly so they can solely focus on getting kills.

But at the end of the day, play it how you want!

Beat that stage first try with the guns. So much easier than that slosher.

My goal is to get “Team Friday Ruler +2” as the title.

Also how many matches would I need to play to get the highest rank in Anarchy?

I just focus on making it to the ruler title and that's it. If I do make it to +1, +2, and so on, great, but it's not too necessary since you're not gonna get any more sea snails that way. Plus I might get burnt out if I play for too long.

Also I turned off the user posts for my plaza.

I find Friday and Saturday to be as good as each other. Friday has the advantage of being a common game release day and when a Direct is Thursday night, the excitement is still very fresh going into Friday. On the other hand, there's the wait time to actually be able to play the Friday releases (I always go physical for Switch where possible) so I get more time with it on Saturday. Ended up picking Saturday because I feel there'll be fewer mirror matches, I think Friday will be the more popular option because of Friday night.

Thing is, aside from bus schedules being different on weekends, all three days are essentially the same thing to me since I don’t work anymore. I just go with Fridays because it’s fast food day for me.

@IceDomino Let’s just say it’s a lot of points required, it takes a while to get to a relatively high rank
To clarify I’ve been playing since launch and I’m at S right now (although I started taking anarchy seriously during early 2023)

@Croctopus Shiver is the boogeyman for Splatoon Twitter. I remember during the leader fest I started laughing so hard when she had 55% of the votes

Try not to think about how this is the final year for the game this year.

I would love if they did that! Or possibly made them a Shell-Out Machine reward. More reasons to gamble!

So if I can't use the gold Aerospray in Anarchy, which weapon is basically a cannon for close-up attacks (which I keep getting nailed by)?

@Croctopus
I think(hope) that they are going to do their usual season trailer in the direct and then right after they will do a mini side order trailer reminding people of the release date.

But then again, Nintendo is the embodiment of the phrase: ‘expect the unexpected’

Both Side Order and Fresh Season trailers came today:

Bonerattle Arena looks so sick. If the layout is good I could easily see it being my favorite SR stage ever. Did anyone else notice there's no returning stage for PvP though? That's really..odd. If my memory serves me correctly this the first time a season has not had a stage return from Splatoon 1 or 2. I was really hoping for Saltspray Rig, but it is what it is. Between Side Order and Fresh Season, we are really going to have our hands full with FRESH content soon here!

Technically the first anniversary had two new stages instead of one new and one old, but I agree, it's strange we haven't seen anything.

@CaleBoi25 Given Splatoon 1 was announced in June 2014, I wonder if Sizzle Season will be a look back on old stuff as a sendoff for Splatoon 3. So like:

• Urchin Underpass
• Saltspray Rig
• Lost Outpost
• Ruins of Ark Polaris
• Arcade machine
• A bunch of returning weapons and gear
