    Underexplored Metagames

    You've made a very detailed observation (very cool). In my opinion, to call a metagame completely solved implies a best strategy which will all but guarantee victory. However, any game as granular as chess is thus unsolved. There is no guaranteed winning strategy. Sometimes that's because there...

    Weapon tier list based on whether or not I could drink from them

    Imo flingza is probably difficult but possible. The empty region in the roller part (where the pen is) would make it difficult due to the moving parts. However, it could store liquid in a way you could drink from

    I'm out of date with the current state of comp

    Hm. Nothing immediately comes to mind since the start of February. I don't recall any super notable tournament results or notable shifts in the meta. Closest thing is that Melon (very good JP player is an understatement) achieved the first 5K XP today.

    Actually, I need another post for hedit.

    Dream Weapon Kits

    One for every splatling. Went for no overlap on subs/specials with the new kits (though not with existing kits). The one I'm most married to is Heavy. PFS are also not necessarily accurate. Feel free to ask for clarifications.

    What got you into Splatoon and/or competitive?

    For the series: I started playing when one person kept talking about it on Twitter for a few weeks back in September 2022. So I started playing with Splat3. For comp: I had been playing for a few months and stumbled on the set Cherry Limeade v.... Ya Mum? Mictlan Heroes? One of their LUTI sets...

    What changes to Cooler do you want to see/think will happen?

    I don't think anyone's under the illusion that cooler isn't the best special in the game at this point. Lots of people are hoping for nerfs, but I'm curious what people think will or want to happen. I'd also love to hear elaborations on why, for both camps.

    If you could bring back 1 special, which would it be?

    I think they should bring back Princess Cannon

    Site staff have said they want to do some sprucing up. I imagine that would include new emojis as well:ability_damage:

    Mobile squidboards tip!

    Worth noting if you're like one of two people who have external links automatically open incognito that clicking the mobile shortcut will be considered an external link (and incognito). There is no way around this.... ...at least as far as I know and if you have a workaround I would love to...

    General Guide playing smarter: a guide to improving tactical thinking

    I read a bit of this while it was still being written, and even that has informed my thinking about the game in a positive way. Finding it again was difficult, so I'm excited to finish it now that it's in a more accessible location.

    Finding the "Perfect" Sensitivity – Using Scientific & Anecdotal Data

    This is a very novel take on sens and presented very cleanly. I'll have to try your methods. While a little outside the scope of your post, I'm curious if you've noticed any sensitivity trends based on 'weapon type.' That is, whether this approach selects for, as an example, lower sensitivities...

    How do I fight the backline weapon (Anchor)?

    Sorry for the late reply. It's hard to say. I know that Volty is at least practiced at using ink as a smoke screen (their Neo Splash rushing tri-strike is not a coincidence) but as for that specific example I'm unsure. My guess is that Volty was an opportunist here and this wasn't a callout.
