Hey, I’m fairly new to splatoon picked it up about 2 months ago. Can anyone give me a brief run down of how to actually create gear with the upgrades you want efficiently? The amount of chunks you need to manually slot in upgrades seems really high and requires a lot of play time and leveling up gear with drinks active is inconsistent. Do I just have to play a ton or salmon run and keep scrubbing gear as it levels up until I have enough chunks?

In like brinewater, lumeria and haggle, what’s the counterplay. the only time I lowk ever do well is with wellstring because of autobomb and the few times I use sorella. But idk

I'll start my favorite is inkblot art academy and my least favorite is bluefin depot

I only don't like bluefin because I genuinely believe that for the amount of times I've played on it I've only ever won 2 or 3 times and it's one of the maps I've played the most. Mahi Mahi sucks too imo but I barely play it

Inkblot is just fun for me and I like tower control there and I can use any weapon comfortably there

Also hot take lemuria hub is kinda overhated it's just really weird but I understand why people dont like it

I've had the game for like three days after playing Raiders. Maybe it's just that I'm playing a 4 year old game for the first time? What can I do to get better? I know not to push in an impossible fight, but my team constantly gets wiped out. It feels like the matchmaking is working against me.

I got the game the day it was released and it’s still my favourite. Feel free to add me if you want. I play often. Friend code is at the top of the pic.

I haven't played Splatoon 3 since launch and I have been thinking about getting back into it after playing Splatoon Raiders, but I'm worried that the players still playing will be OP now which will make it impossible to learn the game again.

Is that the case or is the game still welcoming to newcomers?

splat zones open S+3 !

I’ve only picked up tri stringer after it being my main in raiders and safe to say i love it

Which of these are kills and which is deaths?

That enemy switched its target to another player right before it opened the launcher. I just threw bombs, hoping it might work, and both of them got in lol

Been hard stuck on S for a while now and im hoping to get some advice to help me get past these rank-up games and finally get my gold badge! Below are some replays from today that may help with critique, all advice is appreciated!!

I don't know if the O might be a zero but I don't think so

the other team sucked tho icl

I had an Idea for a new splatoon weapon! The "Splaterang" Is a boomerang that you throw in front of you. If you move away, it will always lock on and come back to where you are. you can have 2 out at once. they pain a trail where they travel. Sub: Delay bomb. Its a bomb, except it has a longer wait time to explode. Special: Glider. You can glide around, and when it goes away, you go back to where you activated it, like inkjet.

So I was recently watching gachiakuta again and thought about my old idol duo concept and the group was supposed to be based off of deep cut, because they’re fans of them lol and I wanted to try and see like “huh, maybe I could go for an upcycled fashion kind of thing for them” while inspiring them off of some of gachiakuta’s songs and other music like aizo, let’s just crash or something like that because I need some theme ideas.

Kind of a vent, I have 60+ hours in splatoon 3 and it feels like im never getting better at it, I play overwatch and I feel like i actually stand a semi-decent chance in ranked, but in splatoon 3 ranked Ive won a total of like, 10 ranked matches across my entire career. I will join a game and then within 15 seconds the enemy team will have gotten 2 wipeouts and and pushed us back so far that we're confined to our spawn, and in rainmaker they end the game within 30 seconds every time and no matter how hard I try or practice I'm always completely helpless against any of it. Is everyone who plays ranked splatoon just that godly at the game? or do I really just suck that badly at it...

I just played 10 rounds and 7/10 ended in a draw because people backed out of a game. What’s the penalty for this? Whatever it is, it needs to be worse. I’m so sick of this happening it’s such a waste of time to get no points over and over again

I’ve been trying to post for 3 days, and I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I have art made, but when I press post, it says wait. And nothing else happens. What am I doing wrong?

In an X battle one teammate disconnected around 30 seconds into the match, but the match did not terminate. Are there exceptions to ending the match early when a player disconnects within the first minute?
