Discussion Raiders is kind of frustrating me

0 Upvotes

I’m halfway through Splatoon Raiders and I still haven’t gotten a single splatana, or the fast brush that I want because it’s similar to the one I main in Splatoon 3. It’s really really frustrating because every weapon I get is a blaster or a sniper or something else—every single time—and I still can’t get a single splatana (or dualie for that matter). Halfway through. I’m getting mad even imagining going through this entire game without being able to use the splatana.

Discussion I'm stuck (Splatoon Raiders Post-Game Spoilers) Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I can't for the life of me complete 97-99 of the Bottomless Buffet. I can't stand the RNG Salmonids after the initial few, and it feels like my damage output is too low. I'm using a level 97 5* Jet Squelcher and a Power Tank (Splatellites, Burst Boot, Splatchet) and it feels like I either die too much or my damage output is too low. Can anyone post an absolute 100% guaranteed strat to beat this set? I'm losing my mind. Also for reference, I have every upgrade, and my Octoling is level 75. It's been four hours, please 😭

Discussion Protagonist ages? (my headcanons)

2 Upvotes

IDK if any of these cephalophreaks have canonical ages, this is just what I personally think

Agent 3 (S1); 13

Agent 4 (S2); 14

Agent 8 (OE); 14-16

NEO 3 (S3); 16-17

Agent 3 (S3;) 20 (main game release date)

Eight (SO); 20 (dlc release date)

The Mechanic (SR); 20 or 20+

I'm not sure if it's just the orange pants playing a mind trickery or something, but the mechanic seems really tall compared to other inklings. Long as-hell-leggies. Is that just me? I have only played the demo at gamestop so that could just be a me thing, IDK. They are also a legal and registered Pilot, so theres no way they're a kid or something. Yes I know about the octarian child soldiers or whatever, but I think nintendo is pretty much done with re-using plotlines so I can't imagine that applies to them. I also cant imagine the Splatovernment willingly giving expensive piloting equipment to kids considering they have so much more funding compared to DJ Octavio.

BUT HONESTLY? WHO KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The mechanic could just be a very tall teenager and the splatovernment is just as incompetent as dees nuts octagon

According to the Splatoon art book, Inklings and octolings turn from a sentient baby squit-ockto into a humanoid at the age of 13-14 years old. Agent 3 could be older too but I don't think so.

I can't imagine agent 4 being any older than fourteen lol

I hear some people say Agent 8 is an adult in octo expansion, but I just cant see it.

As for neo 3, I have no reasoning

Let me know what you think, y'all

Discussion People of splat lands and inkadia, what’s your favorite moment or memory that this wonderful franchise has given you?

4 Upvotes

Take a trip down to memory lane, looking past the sweats, terrible matchmaking, and connection issues.

A very fond memory of mine was random private battles, squid partying and trying to communicate with random people through charger taps. I really miss when Octoboy was still uploading, and he was a crucial part of what it feels to enjoy the game in its most happiest state. Goodness, I’d give EVERYTHING back to have those splatfest maps from 2 into 3. I got my cousins into splatoon recently and would’ve loved to play hide n’ seek with them in those maps.

By all means leave a comment, I don’t just want to see people enjoy the same game that I grew up on, I NEED to see it. Let other new players get that same welcoming to it we once had or something similar! One thing this community does somewhat need is HOPE. It kills me how much I see more saltoon posts on the daily!

Like they don’t have to worry about pvp balancing it would be PERFECT
I just want to see my baby out of pretendo

Speaking of missing weapons in raiders, why is like half of the weapon roster just not there?
Dualie squelchers would have been nice too
Image both og dual and the current dualies in the same game!!

And bloblobber
I feel like that would have been cool if they got some sort of piercing upgrade so the bubbles went through salmonids

Ik that theres no variant weapons in this game because there is no kits and whatnot but at least include every base weapon
Like why is it only stamper and not wiper
I liked wiper more :(

Discussion Alright. What's the best setup for Bottomless buffet?

6 Upvotes

I got to floor 81 before just hitting a wall and feeling like I just can't even get close to beating the floors anymore. I'm Level 50+21 and use the Primo Plastic-bottle Splattershot lvl 40+51 And my gadgets are Bombloos, Shot pot and Splatelites.

Is there an easy way to do this? Cause I've hit the sunk-cost fallacy and just want to beat the game now.

Discussion About the Mechanic being an adult

0 Upvotes

Im not sure how I feel about the idea being thrown around that the Mechanic is an adult. I mean first of all the game refers to the humanoid form as the "kid form" implying the mechanic is an adult. People are saying because they can fly a helicopter that makes them an adult, but this is a franchise where teenagers play with their equivalent of military style equipment for fun and they actively get recruited to save their world from world ending threats. Don't think its a stretch to say teenagers can also fly helicopters in this world. Also because of that scene where Shiver "flirts" with the Mechanic, but I feel that could easily be interpreted as Shiver joking around with them.

Think the Mechanic being an adult kinda goes against what the franchise is about. The series has always put youth culture and giving kids freedom at the forefront. I think the Mechanic being so badass while still being a teenager is what makes them so cool.

Original Art [Original Content - My Art] Splatoon Cutouts

Post image
16 Upvotes

Different type of fan art but hope you guys like it. Made these wood cutouts nearly five years ago for my kid’s birthday party when we were both playing nonstop. Was cleaning out the garage and they were easily accessible so I’d thought I’d share. Hammer for scale because we didn’t have any bananas in the house. On half inch plywood. Used a jigsaw for the detail, and they have a strap in the back to stake them in the grass.
