I'm really enjoying Splatoon 3 so far. I'm still too afraid to try out the proper Ranked Battle mode but my skills are getting at least somewhere with the Aerospray.

The story mode was great even if I still prefer Octo Expansion's. Splatoon's story manages to touch so many uplifting and powerful themes, I would have never guessed it back in Splatoon 1 despite the final boss being a banger. It's one of the few videogame stories that makes me cry nowdays, there is just so much meaning in its weird and kind of silly world.
The idea that humanity's hopes and dreams are what moved the squids and octopus is incredibly beautiful and touching, and symbols like Michelangelo's David being used both as a callback to humanity's genius (only to be disfigured by hubris and war by turning it into a cannon) and vaporwave is genius.

I also absolutely did not expect (Splat 3 spoilers) a sympathetic streak in Mr. Grizz. It was to be expected but his story is actually devastating. All of Splatoon's villains are either moved by necessity or a deep, painful nostalgia for the past. It's fitting with how much the story talks about the future and its uncertainty.

No. 247739

hopefully there's gonna be a frostyfest this year! also for the pokemon splatfest i'm probably going either fire or grass.

No. 247791

Splatoon 3 is my first game in the series, I really like it. Its one of the only competitive games I've ever gotten into. I usually hate most competitive games, especially with how much shit newbies get for still learning the game. Splatoon is so easy to pick up and so much fun. But now I regret never playing Splatoon 2. I didn't have a Switch when it came out but still. I didn't buy my switch until 2020 (luckily only a few months before the pandemic hit). By then, I'm not sure how active it still was, but I am still feeling sad I missed out. Should I still buy it for the story mode / octo expansion? I wish they would put it on sale, what with the the release of the third one, but nope - it's still full price. Makes me hesitant to buy even more.

Grass, grovyle best starter. Water is also respectable.
I'm still demoralized from fun losing open last fest though. I always knew your personal contribution basically doesn't exist, but damn. I never had a better splatfest run.
When they'll do big run seems like kind of a mystery, I don't think they never really said when they'd do it, just that it'd be "every three months". So is it an end-of-season thing or what? I also cannot imagine how big run will go if salmon run is already buggy

Finally, a space to share my feminist leaning splatoon memes without getting excommunicated kek
I used to play chargers in S1, but moved to slosh machine in S2 due to the map design and I like the satisfying kachunk sound of a direct hit. I'm enjoying playing e-liter again in S3 though they'll prob change the maps to make them less charger-friendly eventually

No. 248174

omg I've posted about this game a bit in other threads but I'm so happy it gets its own thread now, I've been playing since the first game's launch and I love this series more than any other game!
I know posting friend codes in this thread would be unwise but I'd love to play with you guys somehow, the only people I've played splatoon with so far are degen 4chan scrotes and literal children and neither are ideal
>>248159
as a roller main chargers are currently making life hell kek, it's more a problem with the maps than the weapon itself though. All the stages in this game feel very similar, very linear and cramped with few alternate routes or flank spots so everyone's kind of forced into mid. I remember Saltspray Rig getting clowned on back in 1 but man do I miss her now. Also they massacred mahi and that makes me sad
I've picked up explosher going into 3 and it's so much fun, I feel like inkstorm goes so well with its kit due to the chip damage and makes it even better for splat zones. I'd really like to see it with wave breaker and an actual bomb for other modes but maybe that would be too strong lol

No. 248183

Idk it's kinda sad. I feel like S2 maps fixed a lot of issues S1 maps had, but then that went out the window for S3. Outside of Hagglefish, I find them not as memorable either. Everything is so brown.

That's my complaint too. They took the sr aesthetic and ran with it. S3 is too brown, S2 was too dark grey, S1 was just right. Won't be surprised if they bring back Bluefin Depot and Piranha Pit.

>Anyways what weapons do you all main and what kits would you want with them in the future?
Been using splash-o, dapples, explosher, and a bit of nautilus. The former 3 have pretty much my ideal kits so I probably won't use any alts.
Nautilus's is alright, can't complain much, but I'm not sure how much synergy it really has with ink storm. Something like big bubbler and curling or fizzy for the mobility sounds decent to me, though I'm still new to the weapon.
My most used weapon in 2 was jet squelcher but its kit is so dog shit in 3 that I haven't touched it too much. Angle shooter is straight up a worse point sensor and ink vac is ok but I'd take any other special except zipcaster, reefslider, ink jet, or ultra stamp. Burst bomb is probably the ideal sub and that's what the custom jet has historically gotten, but I wouldn't mind beakons or mines either personally. Love me some beakons.

I've been using the splash-o-matic, n-zap, and .52 gal the most, and occasionally playing with the aerospray or inkbrush for fun. I don't really have complaints for the splash-o or .52 gal but I'd love for the n-zap to get an offensive special variant. The n-zap 89 was my most used weapon in splatoon 2, but I kind of doubt they'll re-add it because tenta missiles. I also want them to add back the bronze aerospray. Spamming booyah bombs was so much fun.

The wiki has a page where you can sort weapons by fire rate
Technically the ballpoint short range mode is slightly faster, and the rest of the splatlings have the same fire rate as aerospray, but since you have to charge for all of them the aerospray is effectively the fastest. Splat and dapple dualies post-roll are also on par.

Excited to see flounder back even if they did make it a manlet, as well as clothes, kits, and returning X rank. S+ is kind of a mess.
But I'm not entirely sold on the new weapons. If the roller is the fabled "you actually roll with this one" roller then cool, but the shooter is yet another mid range shooter, nothing fancy, and the charger just looks like bamboozler 2 electric boogaloo. It does have some kind of limited shot gimmick but how is that different from needing ink to shoot?

I feel like they could have done a bit more for big run, they even removed some special waves, but it was enjoyable. Wahoo makes for a strangely good SR map and all the details in the music and whatnot were pretty good, then of course random rotations are always fun.

No. 263053

>>262980
It was fun but I wish it was… more? Playing big run is just making me more dissatisfied with normal salmon run tbh, Wahoo world was a really good map for SR so there’s a lot of whiplash going from that to a shitty map like marooners bay. I wish they gave us super sea snails too, the trophy is nice I guess but there’s no real point to it other than bragging rights. I wish they would have shaken up SR a little more, like letting us choose our own main/special weapons, since with so many wave types missing it felt a little neutered. Rather than a cool event it overalls felt more like a better than average normal SR rotation.

I've always been garbage at aiming in this game. Does any nonny have any advice/videos that might be helpful? It's probably because I've always played it in handheld mode and after my original Switch broke, I got a cheap mini one.
I suppose I should just accept my lot and play with stick aim.

Started playing again recently and already remember why I stopped. I fucking hate almost all of the maps and the shitty battle pass-esque catalog has ruined gear acquisition.

I'm not sure how it works TBH. The shop definitely is showing me the shit from launch over and over again though there could be some extra stuff added in for all I know. The catalogs actually have cool fashionable clothes but it's all at like level 50+ so you have to grind through the hell of meme clothes, stickers, and card packs which is fucking lame and I never do it (I think the farthest I've ever gotten was 30). I believe you can replay old catalogs but it has the same issues. I'm just so pissed they took one of the most defining things from this series (the alt/street fashion focus) and made most of its content subject to grinding.
Also just had a long overdue revelation the other day that this game does not have weapon loss animations unlike 2 because it only shows the winners (so they can try to get you to grind for emotes too). Absolutely soulless. I think if the series continues beyond this 3 will become a mostly forgotten relic kind of like how nobody ever talks about Smash 4 anymore.

Have you tried playing around with the motion control settings yet? If your aim is bad, you could try using weapons that have a wider range instead of a more concise one (like Aerospray instead of Splattershot for example).

I never play Splatoon in handheld mode because I find it harder to aim that way as opposed to using a regular controller. Maybe try changing your aiming sensitivity settings. Also, try different weapons like >>359800 suggested. I became a paintbrush main because it doesn't really require aiming and I like sneaking around

No. 359811

Paintbrush mains are so OP in Clam Blitz I love it. My go to main for the past year though has been Aerospray RG with each piece of gear having the special charge up abilities. I love this combo because I can usually get 10-13 booyah bombs in per 5 minute match, it's especially OP for splat zone battles.

No. 363710

>>363693
I think bow has really good space control with its medium charge shot. It's farther range than most weapons and lets you spread time release ink all over the zone. Basically lets you paint the zone no matter what happens as long as another bow or a sniper doesn't focus on you.
I also think it's really good for tower because of the full charge for the same reasons. You can just harass the tower and make it a pain in the ass to stand on like 75% of it and most weapons can't do shit to you unless your retard teammates die and let the enemy approach you.

I have not played splatoon since early splatoon2 but analyze your losses and make a few points of what you could've done better. your teammates probably fucked up too but focus on yourself.

No. 363764

>>363718
Try out different strategies, i.e., different weapons and abilities. Identify your problem areas and correct them, I'll use me for an example: my aim is really shit, so instead of using weapons that require precise aim like say snipers or more technical shooters, I tend to go for weapons that have wider ranges, e.g., sloshers, blasters, splatlings, brushes. If you find that you get splatted a lot, try to use gear with quick respawn as the main ability. Try playing more anarchy battles instead of open, it will hurt less when you lose. What gear ability and weapon do you main now? Some weapons just aren't worth it imo, same can be said with certain abilities

My favorite weapons mostly used interchangeably in every mode-
>Explosher
actually didn't pick it up until late in 2 but it's my #1 beloved, my baby. I will play it in any mode or map. I don't want to talk about the new kit
>Vanilla roller
this was my main until I switched to explo. I really like curling bomb shenanigans. flanking with ninja squid roller is one of my favorite things in the game
>Splash-o-matic
my favorite shooter! I love how quickly it kills especially if you open with a burst bomb or sneak up on them. I run swim speed and sub saver for an extra burst bomb. also i'm still terrible at crab tank
>Aerospray RG
same as you, I just like throwing lots of booyah bombs.
>Splat Charger
I've played enough to get the silver weapon badge but I'm still only mediocre kek. It's surprisingly fun in RM and CB
also shoutout to my first mains in 1- carbon roller deco, with special charge up so I could have more seeker bomb rushes kek. also failing miserably with the e-liter because I wanted to be like those cool Japanese players
also I got my bf to start playing with me and he's a fucking undercover brella/explosher main kek. I've tried to convince him to try any other weapon but those are literally the only two he plays… playing double explo SZ with him is really funny sometimes

I really like them especially Frye. I know she's the least popular because she's ugly (aka an unusual and silly looking female character), but I love her character and style, her face is cute and also her outfits are the cutest. She's my favorite idol behind Marina.
As for the whole group… imo they're the idols that better represent the idea of a festival so I like them for that. Also they got great songs, amazing collabs and Anarchy Rainbow might be my favorite Splatoon vocal track, followed my Nasty Majesty and Calamari Inkantation 3MIX.

I'd argue it is worth the money; it's pretty replayable after you slog through the hardest part of the DLC. The amount of power you can get from choosing stages wisely and just shredding through enemies after a bad session on online is pretty cathartic. The story is uh… not… particularly great but the lore for Acht is solid. I personally like the new character they added, even if a lot of stuff makes literally zero sense.

Sorry if this is unasked for advice but I just wanted to share my recommendations based on your OP of wanting to gitgud. Picrel would be my go-to gear ability layout for the weapons. Try it out and see if you're play experience is more fun + gudder.
>Krak-On Roller (cuz fuck big bubbler)
You want a lot of running speed with this one, most people that play rollers do the flingy-thing but I find it way more deadly to just have run speed maxed so you can cover turf and run over anyone in your path. I recommend ninja squid as well because it makes sneaking up on foes and smacking down on them easier. I also say use ink refill or ink saver too so you can cover more ground and use the kraken special as much as possible.
>Splash-o-matic
Based shooter. I love the burst bombs so I always try to improve their power with the sub power+ abilities, and if you use two of the sub ink saver abilities you can actually get another bomb or two on a full tank. The burst bombs make the splash-o-matic super deadly, and a lot of players wont catch on to how powerful a burst bomb is when you use the sub power+ ability, making splats all the easier.
>Nautilus (I'd use the '79 just because the load-out is better than the '47 imo)
Triple splash-down is a killer special move, and since the splatlings can cover a lot of turf quickly you'll be surprised at how fast your special gauge will fill up if you stack special charge up abilities. When I play nautilus I tend to be in the thick of the battle, so I like to have my run speed increased as well with ink saver so I can keep fighting the good fight.

Thanks so much for the help!
I was considering changing to the Krak-On splatroller because the big bubbler is just kind of ass, but I like traversing long spaces with the bombs from the regular splatroller. Your loadout for it is similar to mine except I have Swim Speed instead of Ninja Squid atm and the minor abilities still aren't set.

As for the abilities you suggested, I'll def try them out. The problem for me would be to find matching fashion lol.
My loadout for the Splash is already decked with Sub Power up (SPU jacket with two more SPU and one Ink Saver Sub), but my other two are Intensify Action and Last Ditch Effort.

My loadout for regular Nautilus is Thermal Ink, Special Charge up and then a third one I don't remember tbh.
Fsr I prefer the regular but I want to try your loadout with the '79. When it just came out I tried it in Turf War just to test it and I ate absolute shit, something like 10 consecutive losses.
It might be because I haven't been playing for a year due to real life shit but I keep being kind of crappy in all modes, casual or competitive. Salmon Run is hell because I deranked to Profresh 1 during Big Run and now I'm stuck with randos who don't stay close to the basket and don't carry bosses, but I can't not be part of the problem.
And sadly I don't have a single friend offline or online who likes Splatoon so I don't know how I'd tackle it honestly.

The story is good but mostly in the lore tidbits as it fleshes out Octarian society's situation after mass disertation. The cutscenes are spread all spread out at the start and the end of your first completion. They're enjoyable but not on the level of Octo Expansion and Return of the Mammalians.
Acht is a great addition to the Octoling story and I'm still salty NOA enbied her (in fact it sets a bad precedent for the things to come: I expect more themlets will appear in the american english language versions of the next games and it's inevitable because Splatoon is all about youth culture).
The gameplay of the dlc is basically crack and it either makes you want to be overpowered or do insane challenge runs.

One last thing, there's a new shrimp called Cipher and I get the feeling he'll either be just a new shrimp of a possible future villain. Not just because he's named after Lucipher and he has a flag with his own magic rune on it, but because he's interested in Eight in an unusual way which is sus.
Also his pronouns are it/its and I forgot until now. I want NOA to fire their gendies now.

I'm the same way nona I'll only wear clothes I find cute kek. You probably already know this, but just in case you don't: you can change the main abilities & the sub abilities for any gear in the game, so if you find cute clothes with a bad ability you can just use 45 ability chunks to change the main ability on anything.
>Salmon Run is hell because I deranked to Profresh 1
This happened to me during Big Run too and it took me sooo many matches to get back to Eggsecutive kek, Salmon Run is hell when you don't have good teammates especially. Don't worry though, just focus on having fun and you'll get back up there! My rule of thumb is: if we win as a team, I stick with the team, but if we lose or even if we win and 1 person disconnects, I leave the team and start a new match. It's the same with Ranked Battles, I think team synergy is really important so if I'm stuck with a bad team no matter how good I am it's always a hassle.
