Hello again!

As the thread's title suggests, if things go according to plan, I will be starting a YouTube channel! I have a bunch of experience coaching in competitive Pokemon and have a bit less, but still a good amount in Splatoon 3 now, and I have previous work on a Pokemon YouTube channel as well as a borrowed capture card from a friend. All of the stuff needed to start a channel relating to Splatoon coaching!

I'm not the absolute best player out there, but I'd like to imagine I'm at least above average in the great big world of the Splatoon community. If nothing else I can help try to get people to about my level before they can move on and make their own inferences as they potentially grow to become even better than I am. Also, I don't really play anchors, but have at least some level of experience on every other basic weapon archetype in the game even if the specifics of some may trip me up.

However, I need somewhere to get started. I'm not just gonna pull peoples' games without their permission. That's where you guys come in. Whether you want me to give a genuine review for your gameplay or whether you're only doing this to help me out here, I'd appreciate if you were to send me a replay of yours! Just drop the code for it in the replies here.

I do have some preferences for the kind of game you share here, although none of this is super concrete. You do not HAVE to follow any or all of these rules, but they should be used to help you decide a replay you might want to send me if you're unsure. The only super firm rule I have is no Turf War because Turf War's matchmaking is not very good. Anyways, my preferences are as follows -
  • You should be playing a weapon you're comfortable with in this replay. Do note that I don't play backlines and my advice might not be as good for those, plus some weapons with more specific strengths that next to no other weapon has like the Tenta Brella.
  • I'd prefer if at least one of the following applies to you. Again, it's not necessary, but I may have less to say to someone who's closer to my skill level. One of the following three...
    • Below S+ Rank
    • Below an X Power of around 2300 or so
    • If you play competitively, below a LUTI div of around 7 or so
  • Ideally the game you send me lasts the full 5 minutes. The shorter the game is the less I'll have to say and the more I may have to comment on smaller mistakes that only happen once.
  • Chances are we'll discuss what happens in your replay before I post anything so it'd help if you're able to remember your thought process during at least some parts of the game you send me.
  • I'd prefer if the map is something that's at least sometimes played in a competitive setting for one or two of its map modes. This would include:
    • Scorch Gorge (not Splat Zones, Zones layout is too different from the rest)
    • Hagglefish Market
    • Undertow Spillway
    • Museum d'Alfonsino
    • Mahi-Mahi Resort (Splat Zones only, Zones layout is too different from the rest)
    • Inkblot Art Academy
    • MakoMart
    • Um'ami Ruins
    • Manta Maria
    • Barnacle & Dime
    • Humpback Pump Track
    • Crableg Capital (not Splat Zones, Zones layout plays out too different from the rest)
    • Shipshape Cargo Co.
    • Robo ROM-en
  • You should feel like your team played well. If you're sharing a replay specifically because you want my advice you should be sending me a game you feel like you don't know what you could've done differently, but still like you struggled for at least some greater parts of the game.
  • The game should feel even, like it could have gone either way, for the sake of me seeing how you play at an advantage and at a disadvantage. For YouTube specifically, bonus points if the game is super close and decided in its final push!
  • Would prefer if it's not a Clam Blitz game from solo matchmaking because, to be perfectly blunt, I don't think most people know how to play Clam Blitz very well. You still can and if so I'd prefer if it's a reasonably high X Ranking but the way Clam Blitz plays in solo matchmaking isn't often all too similar to how the other modes play or really to how Clam Blitz is supposed to be played.
Got a replay in mind? Good! Then please either reply here or DM it to me here or on Discord (@deeznutskong) with the following info -
  • Replay code
  • Current ranking (Anarchy Rank, X-Power if you have one, and/or LUTI division if you're on a team with one)
  • Any other notes you have for me.
I'll be keeping these all anonymous on my YouTube channel by making sure to blur out your username wherever needed. Otherwise, I think that's everything I have to say. Thank you!

So, I was going to mention earlier today but forgot lmao


This new patch means I can't use most of the replays that were sent to me, except for one person's who does not have a Squidboards account. Literally had to blitz out a script and recording on like no sleep lmao. For the rest of you who sent me a replay before you will unfortunately need to do so again. Thank you and sorry about that!

I don't got one for you yet, but I want to say that I plan to send one. I'm right in that skill range you want for one, I'm < 2300 XP, Div 8 with a lot to learn.

I do have a bit of a side announcement related to this that I'll begin posting on my channel soon too. First three videos will be replay reviews, an hour long each of me diving into what our team could have done better in a match. I'll do my own post after I finally get around to editing and posting them, but I felt it was worth mentioning given that they're replay related!

High level play? Or just really anything. Should I highlight stuff from the patch. Will I be in credits? All very important questions (I can just send the stuff over soon)

I specify preferred ranks in the first post of this thread but to reiterate as long as you're either below an X Power of around 2300 or you're on a team at Div 8 or below then there are no concerns. I could still try if neither of those apply to you but may not have as much to say.

Patch doesn't change what I do or don't want otherwise, only real preferences are gone over in the first post and have not changed

Since these are going to be critiques where I mostly highlight what people could've done differently in their games I'm censoring out names. The best games for something like this will be those where people do not play perfectly and I don't want people to feel the need to send me a game where they pop off for the whole time for the sake of pride. Would also leave obvious room for someone to send a game where they get 500 kills for the sake of flexing which also goes against the point of the channel. I want to try and make my videos informative for those who need it above all else.

If any of that makes you lose interest then that's understandable, but thank you for the interest and thank everyone here for the replay codes so far! I may not do all of these but will reach out to you privately if I start with yours at some point.

I got a game for you! It was a SendouQ game our team played, a really close deciding game 7. It was super intense! I felt I was playing well, but at the same time it definitely has some errors in it, otherwise it would not have been as close as it was. Here's the code:

I've got one for you. The code is RSJC-X990-SB6J-Q8H8. It's one of my recent replays from an Edit Nouveau on TC in the A+. There's a lot to unpack in that one, but to summarize, I started out real sloppy in that one but found my groove by the end of the game. Feel free to use that footage on your channel on what to do and what not to do with an Edit Nouveau on TC. By the way, the stage is Mincemeat Metalworks. I would say my team saved my bacon in that one before I finally adjusted near the end and helped us pull through.
