Topic: Splatoon 3

I recently got around to playing the newest patch, and I think it's pretty good, if a little too light on changes (especially with specials as mentioned above). Some hitbox nerfs or otherwise to some of the Blasters would have been nice, especially to normal Blaster considering the buffs it got in 11.0.

@CaleBoi25 I hadn't really given Nova a proper shot since it launched ("long Aerospray" and all that), but it feels a lot better to play than it did a couple of years ago, the accuracy buffs really help it quite a bit I think. I still wish they would give it some sort of rework to make it a bit more distinct, similar to what Splash and Squiffer got in S2.

Speaking of, if you guys could rework a weapon/sub/special, what would it be? Personally, I would love if Super Chumps let your team Super Jump to its landing position somehow, ideally with some sort of recall to prevent Clam Blitz cheese or getting to areas you're not meant to (and some other compensation nerfs). I think there could be some really interesting synergies and strategies that could be done using this change, especially for weapons like Dualie Squelchers or Dynamo.

@Whyvern_ it's Reefslider rework time, baybee! Now, you simply set and forget — it flies off on it own to a set distance. This comes with downsides (namely, a smaller explosion) and positives (long distance pressure and hard-to-react-to speeds — however, you may also choose to ride it still, which reduces the range and speed by a good bit, but also makes it a great entry tool.

SpringFest in 2 days

@Dev-N noted! 👀

@Dev-N Interesting, I was leaning towards the setup being alternating between 1 week new release date announcement and 1 week something else like:

• Week beginning April 6th - Release date announcement
• Week beginning April 13th - Focus on Tomodachi Life launch
• Week beginning April 20th - Release date announcement
• Week beginning April 27th - Yoshi overview trailer
• Week beginning May 4th - Release date announcement

But with this news, maybe both Fortune's Weave and Splatoon Raiders get their release date announcements in April?

@Dev-N So far only the European websites have the game page up, nothing on the American or Japanese sides yet

@Dev-N [gyahahahaha]

Shiver and Frye have one more Splatfest to try and see which of them can win

Because with this being the end of another 2-year event cycle, it can be possible Summer Nights is the last Splatfest for the game

@Dev-N my girl frye got absolutely ruined

and this isn't just frye propoganda talk by the way, i've been shown so many bunny videos in the past month that i actually want a bunny now. i'm even more set into team bunny than the first springfest!

still, happy birthday

@squiddu-real I genuinely thought Bunnies would win! Nonetheless, even though Frye is my favorite idol, I am glad my fellow Mr. Grizz reps got a win!

Last I heard, they kept the code in for the Grand Splatlands Bowl

I don’t think it means Grand Festival will return, but what I do think it means is they’ll be adding it to private battles alongside the other Splatfest and Tricolor maps in a later update

If they do stop Splatfests after Summer Nights, then that update could come out later this year

ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING
I need it to be July 23rd already oh my WORD you guys I can't waitttt

Splatoon Raiders fest for August or September

@MrCarlos46 prediction or announcement?
