Weapon viability is almost entirely dictated by weapon kits, with some factors from main weapon strength and map layouts. In all honesty, pretty much every weapon would be good if it were given a good kit, and the only ones to disprove that are things like Goo Tuber with insane kits and still...

Full doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LVMcroy4ll5cUWTxWL5x2xXxzNfwhEuIdDMGQ6_1seA/edit?usp=sharing Also if anyone has a better solution for counting subs/specials than by hand please let me know

I know most people are talking about points, but the weapon matchmaking system in 2 is also generally better imo. 2 assigns every weapon a "range" value and makes teams based on that, while Splatoon 3 sorts weapons into groups to form more balanced teams. Theoretically S3 has a good idea, but...

I generally consider it purple even if sampling it makes it look blue since every game has featured contrasting main colors. Orange/blue, green/pink, and now yellow/purple

Region splits are definitely more interesting for us as a western audience since Japan has the significantly larger playerbase. Most splatfests come down to which team is the most popular, so if a westerner really wants to join the winning team they have to figure out what side will be the most...

I hope it keeps getting used for tournaments since it's such a nice database location, and a lot of my ideas/posts I make on other platforms would honestly fit better on a forum. Idk how I'll integrate stuff between here and Twitter but as long as people are here I'll probably keep checking in...

IDK how much overhauling the next Smash game will do since Ultimate seems to be the end of an era a bit. I think a rework could be cool that focuses on unique weapon classes more and fitting their style. Changing the forward smash to a roller and tilts to brushes, changing side special to dodge...

The thing is custom kits totally can and I would argue should be a thing, it just requires the devs to balance mains subs and specials all in a meaningful way which is a logistical nightmare compared to "just make a few sets on every weapon and force the players to adapt". The devs could totally...

Been playing Bamboozler since around 2016. Was going through a period where I was experimenting with a bunch of weapons as I tried to get out of the "turf war Aerospray brain mush" fest and into ranked. Played it for a bit and had a lot of fun but given how the content scene constantly ragged on...

Charger clears easily, infinite skill ceiling and able to do anything you want it to

I can't tell if you were making a bit or not but at a glance I couldn't tell if this title was about Rapid Pro, Respawn Punisher, or Roleplay :P Vrapid pro has really rough competition with things like Vjet, 96, vcharger, and ballpoint. There's not really a mode where it stands out as an...

A Great Turf War prequel singleplayer/coop adventure with somewhat open exploration would go so incredibly hard I genuinely thought we were going to have a spinoff like this as the second Switch Splatoon release instead of Splatoon 3

I generally agree, but I will say that Twitter has some decent search functions and Discord if you know where to search for something highly specific is also pretty accessible. The main things that matter for me as an editor is focusing takes on an issue (which is definitely improved here) and...

Honestly Wiper Deco is functionally a shooter with missiles at this point With the cooldown nerfs I don't think it would really change the game, especially if the shooter that gets it isn't one of the four short-range ones or jet, but it would just kind of be a boring pick after endgame S2...

does this count
