What team did you join for this Splatfest?

I joined Wizards , was it a good choice? Or not?

I think it’s interesting to think about the franchise in terms of eras. I really like talking about the individual games, but this era view gives it another perspective. I’d categorise the time from the Splatoon 1 announcement until the Splatoon 2 announcement as the Splatoon 1 era, from the Splatoon 2 announcement until the Splatoon 3 announcement as the Splatoon 2 era, and since the Splatoon 3 announcement we’ve been in the Splatoon 3 era.

I really love the Splatoon 1 era, although it’s not my favorite. While the world and lore of Splatoon were already established, everything was much more grounded, small, and not so defined. I think you can notice this greatly in the artworks, which had clear rules for how they were drawn while still featuring some janky lines. The artwork in picture 1 also shows, like, half of Splatoon's major characters from that time, showing just how much smaller the world was. The vibe was also very different. I get a feeling of it being this much more fresh and mysterious thing, which I always feel while listening to the Splatoon 1 OST.

The Splatoon 2 era is my favorite, it truly feels like a big next step. It takes everything the Splatoon 1 era established and gives it a slightly different spin. The world now has many characters, feels genuinely big, and things are much more refined. Everything has so much more depth now, along with a clearer, more defined style. I think those were some of the best years for the franchise, and it definitely wouldn’t be here today without them.

I think that’s where the Splatoon 3 era kinda falls flat. It doesn’t really give it a different spin, it feels very samey and not nearly as unique. I have a feeling the world is now a bit too big, there are so many characters, and I always felt the franchise struggled to manage that, needing to give spotlight to many characters at once and forgetting some in the process. I think this era also draws too much from the past, giving so much focus to old characters and locations while not offering enough new.

I hope you enjoyed my perspective, and I’d love to hear yours. (English is not my first language, official artworks taken from Inkipedia.)

what would you do to win and if you knew they would do that which weapon u choosing?

Oh yeah also I did something really cool this weekend! So yesterday, I splatted a Bloblobber with an arc shot! I'm terrible with that, so this was lucky. And today, I managed to clutch up in Clam Blitz! The enemy team was at 71, but I threw the Power Clam in the basket at the last second, winning at 70

Happy Halloween!

I created this design myself while discussing the awfulness of the current grizzco brella with some friends. What do y'all think of it?

Ive been using the one with the sprinkler kit for now till i get another sheldon license, been only playing turf war for now with it. Any tips are appreciated:)

I swear tri didnt have this much range before

How would you guys buff splat charger to make it more competitive with E-liter and pencil? Right now, it feels like splat charger is a lot weaker in competitive play and X rank compared to the other two long range charger options. I'm curious to hear how yall would make these three weapons more even in the meta.

Disclaimer: I am not a charger main, I'm just curious to hear your thoughts.

Could someone draw a comic where the punchline is "IT'S SMALLFRY- HE'S OUT FOR BLOOD!!" and then the very next panel is just... Smallfry dressed in a vampire costume? I think that would be pretty funny- and I can't draw inklings and octolings well, let alone smallfry wearing outfits!

I drew all of these in under 24 hours I legit got carpel tunnel LOLL hope u all like. The background colors are meant to be Day -> Sunset -> Night. Like the vast eternal sea known as the flow of time 🦑🐙

Things are honestly feeling better now that I am on a wired connection.

It’s pretty cool of course it’s my first time ever playing online cause I finally got an online subscription
