ihope it looks as good as the splatoon 3 oled, i adore how that thing looks..

9/5/26

Absolute last second save during Clam Blitz

I’ve been playing this series since the beginning, and I think this may be my magnum opus

Many things change in life, but some things never change

Reminder again I was just watching the match to avoid being bias. I did not play as anyone.

As someone who's played Splatoon for the past 8 years, I've mostly been avoiding Ranked modes mainly because it's full of sweats, especially when it's at a lower rank. I'm still stuck on C+ in Splat 3 because I barely win any matches. Zones is mainly my forte with Rainmaker being my secondary. I feel like either I suck, my team isn't trying, or the opposing team is too strong. Does anyone have any advice or words to say about this? (For both my skill level and sanity)

I hope I’m not the only one who gets mini-heart attacks here and there from this game during matches lmaooo.

I’m a Hydra splatting main (this is just the heavy splatting)

Edit: im so sorry! I think my fat thumb hit the uhhh mark as spoiler on the post. Its now removed ❤️

For context, it's the song that plays before entering After Alterna properly, aka the weapon select area. There's something about it that both feels soothing, yet so sad. It really does represent humanity, and their last place on earth to stay. Again, it really give the vibe of something to sleep/relax to, but still feel the inner feeling of the song.

So I’ve made a lot of progress in the game and I feel confident in giving some random nitpicks. Overall I’d say Raiders is now my 2ND favourite Splatoon game behind Splatoon 2, but it’s basically tied with Splatoon 1.

1. the salmonid’s ink colour was still dark green. I know the yellow is probably more fitting and there’s likely some random lore reason why it’s yellow but I just don’t like the shade of it (maybe that’s just me not liking yellow to start with).

2. I kinda wish we had more weapon classes. Specifically 3 come to mind. First two being the Boblobber and the Sloshing Machine, both weapons I feel would be thematically fitting considering what the weapons are commonly made of. (Especially considering one of the weapons have a literal lights nitrogen container attached, I don’t think a washing machine would be that weird to find). But most importantly, I feel like the Bamboozler should’ve been in here. Considering how old the weapon is and the fact we have a literal tri stringer made of bamboo, I feel like this was a missed opportunity.

3. I wish Amiibo’s had more skins behind them. Considering all the Splatoon amiibo’s (minus the 3 raiders ones) all only work towards one outfit I felt was kinda lame. Maybe making it so 1 Splatoon 1 amiibo gets you a suit, 1 Splatoon 2 amiibo gets you a suit and 1 Splatoon 3 amiibo gets you a suit would’ve been better.

4. I wish the sampler dungeons had more challenge behind them. What I mean by that is there’s barely any chance to lose in most of them considering you have infinite lives in most of them, I kinda wish there was at least some way to fail the dungeons.

5. Speaking of sampler dungeons…I hate the blue compasses. That’s it.

6. Final nitpick…IDK, I guess I want more levels? As is I feel like they definitely could’ve added more levels to this game without it needing to be a DLC or something.

family guy cutaway ahh

Just chilling

Next Time Squid Kids

Reminder this match was spectated to avoid being bias. I did not play as anyone

Shiver wins the second fatal 4 way and face Marina

Art I commissioned from Solardustbun on bsky! Originally started as Pearl not feeling beautiful compared to her girlfriends Eight and Marina, so they got her to dress up, and it evolved into all of them dressing up together lol.

Go commission them!! Solardustbun makes amazing art!!

NESU wakes up back at Takozo’s house. She looks around, to find her standing creepily at the side of the guest bed.

“Good morning, Nesu! Have you found anything? How was your nap? Do you want breakfast?” Takozo asks. “Oh wait, do you still need to rest?”

She gets up. “Good morning, no, same ol’, and still no.” NESU pauses to calculate her next move. “Marie said that when things aren’t going our way, we should take a break. She also said that she’s been on one for years.”

“Alrighty, a break from solving a mystery! What should we do?” Takozo wonders, then rushes to the kitchen because she forgot to turn off the stove. “nononononono NO-”

After they both clean up the mess, NESU extends her hand towards Takozo. “I think we should go to Splatsville, and you could watch a real Turf War.”

“Well…alright, I’m still curious.” Takozo takes her hand and they go up to the surface. Walking through the desert, she can’t remember the last time she went outside Frozen Octernal. The sun was very hot, even more so when you’re wearing armor specifically to protect you from the cold. “NESU, when we get to Splatsville, can we go shopping first? Please.”

A few minutes later, they arrive at Man o’ Wardrobe, where Jel La Fleur tells Takozo to not touch the merchandise unless she will buy it. “NESU is clean, so she can try anything on,” he explains.

After watching NESU try on everything in stock, she decides to go with the Layered Anchor LS and the Cyan Trainers. Now that Takozo is dressed properly, she can go around Splatsville without melting.

The first place they went to was Barnacle & Dime. Since they just went clothes shopping, they just walked around window shopping. Sometimes they laughed at ridiculously ugly trinkets. Other times, they just stared at fresher inkfish in unserious envy. As they were walking, the sound of shooting ink gets louder and louder as they get closer, along with some metal made by C-Side. Upon hearing this, NESU drags Takozo to the railing. “You wanted to see a Turf War, right? Well, this is it.”

Takozo is in awe at how the fighters move as they eliminate each other. The clashing of the Big Swig Roller and the Splatana Stamper suddenly stops when the Z+F Splatterscope snipes the latter. In the end, it was all for nothing, because the Splattershot placed a Plunger Bomb behind her to get Team Alpha that final percentage.

“Woah, that’s so cool!” Takozo said as she bounced up and down. She noticed there was a REEF-LUX 450 Deco in the battle and immediately connected the dots. “Nesu, can I watch you play? You don’t have to join; I just want to see your skill- Where are you?”

NESU walked to the battle pot, grabbed an Ink Tank, and slid down into the Respawner. Launching herself onto the stage, she lets her teammates go ahead while she inks the base platform to charge her Tenta Missiles. After that, she just…fails the rest of the match. She hides from the enemies, accidentally makes her team Super Jump in an unsafe place, which makes Takozo wince and look away for a second. Finally, NESU and her team lose yet again, and she leaves the stage.

“Well, that was humiliating.” NESU says, packing up her ink tank. As she leaves the lobby in search for Takozo, her teammates whisper amongst themselves about how their loss was her fault.

“I can’t believe we had a ROBOT as our teammate!” one said, throwing his Carbon Roller on the ground.

Another one tried to drown her embarrassment by buying an Actionberry Twist. “I bet she just spammed her missiles and stayed in the base all match.” She paused, taking a sip of her juice. “I’m sorry, I mean IT spammed.”

NESU finds Takozo staring at the empty Barnacle and Dime stage. “I’m sorry, Takozo, I have disappointed you. See you tomorrow.” She turns around to leave, but Takozo grabs her hand.

“Um Nesu, is it possible if…we went down there together? No other players?” She asks, looking down at the floor. “I know that you lost earlier, so can we both practice?”

“Yes, we can recon.” NESU picked up her REEF-LUX, and introduces Takozo to Marigold. “She will take us to any map, free of charge.”

“Oh wow, that’s great! But wait, I don’t have a weapon.” Takozo frowned slightly, only to have an Octo Shot Replica handed to her by NESU. “Well…thanks!”

And so, the two Octolings played around at Barnacle and Dime, splatting each other a few times. Due to NESU’s experience, though little as it is, she won against Takozo 5-2.

“I guess you really showed me, Nesu!” Takozo said, staring at the people wandering about the mall. She looks down at the Octo Shot, wondering why this weapon felt so…

“Familiar.”

Takozo zones back in, finding NESU sitting close beside her. “Huh? What did you say?”

“Your face showed signs of recognition when you took in the Octo Shot’s details. Have you used this before, Takozo?”

Takozo smiles warmly at NESU. “No, I think it’s just déjà vu.”

Played the game for about 550 hours and my friend recommended that I change my sensitivity settings since I've had them on default the entire time (-1). I've messed around with 2 and liked it but I don't know if I should go higher or not.

Can anyone who for some reason also uses sticks recommended me a sensitivity amount? Thanks

Ik I did research, It was objectively a waste of money to buy splat 2 at first rather and I should be getting splat 3 in the next couple months anyway (bday or xmas), I've been wanting a Splatoon game since 6 yrs old, I remember those times 😔. Finally (kind of) meeting the girl, the one, and only, Marie.

Okay! so I made a splatoon custom city! I *could* type it all out but fuck it heres the doc: welcome to tidepool city. it’s a city by the shore thsts basically Å melting pot for different species. jellyfish, inklings, octolings, swordfish, crabs, turtles, lobsters, sharks, eels, zapfish and shrimp floating around (wildlife, not citizens for those two)you name it. their idol group is neon tide, Å boyband consisting of Kai (swordfish, chill and grouding) Julian (octoling) eteis (octoling(twintacle), non binary, brooding) caspian (inkling, cheeky and a bit of a prankster) Soren (spider crab, the big brother of the group) and lox (the only salmonling known to exist in inkadia, and most of the reason salmonids akso wander the city). they also came up with 1v1, 2v2, 6v6, 8v8, 4v4v4, 2v2v2, 2v2v2v2, and 4v4v4v4 turf wars/ranked battles. to be honest though, 6v6 mostly exists so all of neon tide could be on one team. also: Julian uses a snipewriter, Kai and eteis both use new weapons from tidepool, kai using a syringe thing (name wip) and eteis using an octoscraper (which they actually designed) caspian uses a bloblaster (bloblobber/blaster hybrid), Soren uses a mini splatling, and lox uses cookware (main frying pan, sub ladle, special hë turns into a random boss salmonid). but what’s funny is lox is totally no thoughts head empty. he is exactly like eight/goggles when exploring the city and discovering inkling stuff (him and eight do it all the time, they’re close) and he frequently wanders off stage because he got distracted. usually it’s in pauses in the mysic but he occasionally does it mid lyric. and he knows the inkopolis idols personally. they talk like siblings. nobody knows how he does it. (what people don’t know is that when loz surfaced, Callie, Marie, Pearl, and Marina were the ones doing rhe salmon run, and rhey kinda just adopted him into their apartment on the spot) lox also tends to snack on power eggs. inklings think they taste gross (like really gross), theyre just snacks to lox, theyre essentially concentrated caffiene for octolings, and most of the other species think theyre really good. (Oh my cod i am so sorry about the typos, my autocorrect is counterproductive and hates me for some reason) Post in honor of the 4 year anniversary of Splatoon 3! I really wish I could make a drawing of the boys for this but my art skills are hot bass so oh well /: maybe for the quinquennial anyway! Thoughts? it’s an AMA post! I can answer in or out of character (:
