I managed to to get 142 which is way better than I expected as I wasn't able to play as much as normal this weekend. Honestly it was just luck as I got a Mothership wave that my team and I managed to do very well on.

As a side note, I think a lot of people overstate Splatoon 3's success with the factoid that it was the fastest selling game in Japan. That's impressive but what it really says is that the series has a very loyal core fanbase, particularly in Japan. Having a loyal fanbase is valuable but it's...

I think there is also more of a culture of taking the game seriously there, but that's kind of second hand. But in the US at least, most gamers who don't play Splatoon think of it as a kids game.

The most common explanation is that the player base is noticeably Yeah but that's the thing. The the larger the talent pool the more one-in a million players there will be in it. And those players aren't going to be spread out evenly in the playerbase. They will seek each other out to make...

It would be like if a restaurant said "Enjoy our wonderful two course meal! The first course is a garden salad. The second course is beef wellington served with roasted sweet and spicy brussel sprouts and scalloped potatoes. It also comes with salad".

Sorry to say this but since they presumably want to entice people to buy the expansion pass, if there was additional content for it wouldn't they have announced it already? I understand that it's likely most of the potential buyers probably already got it, but there still would be at least some...

I edited my post but almost certainly after you started writing your response I don't think we actually disagree that much thb.

There wouldn't be much benefit for the players but it would benefit Nintendo if it could give more people a reason to buy the new console. What if you mainly just play Splatoon? Why would you buy the new Switch...unless Nintendo gave you a reason to. Edit: ok to be honest I don't think this...

Clams is my favorite mode but it took me a while to get there. I think the difficulty (once you've got the rules down since it is the most complex of the game modes) of Clam Blitz comes down to learning how to observe and understand the state of the game at any given moment. It's a more...

I do agree posts can be too long, but a lot of it has to do with the structure, efficiency and quality of the writing as much the length of the post itself. If a post is hard to follow, fails to get to the point or is overly repetitious, then I will roll my eyes and move on. But if a post is...

Thinking about it further, I don't believe making all the ink the same color (or swapping colors) is a good solution because it it would be hard to fine tune the effect. If you think about the various patches they will usually just bump a value up or down (points for special, area of effect...

I know we are only a few days into the new season so this might be a little premature, but it's gotten me thinking. The new kits are pretty dang good so far I've almost entirely been using the new weapons this season, especially the Custom Dousers and the CRB. Interestingly for me the Wellstring...

I've been playing Dousers a quite a bit lately and it's really good and fun. However learning when and how to utilize the dodge roll effectively adds a skill set to learn on it's own IMO, even compared to other dualies (since it has only one dodge roll and a different range in turret mode). I...

Thinking about it further, I would say the reason Splatoon overtime rules make sense is because the matches are so short. It's always possible to get large gains/setbacks due to random variation. For longer games or sports, these kind of things should even out over time (at least theoretically...

I kind of wonder if they could just make the rainmaker explosion significantly larger (at the end of it's timer) if you don't gain ground while you are holding it. It would punish stalling more (and as a bonus maybe some players will learn to not just pick up the rainmaker if their team is still...
