Woooo today is national friendship day and my ass is sappy so this is just a thread thanking my friends in the comp scene. Also #compsplatoon get in on this if you want to. Even if you say it often, seeing something written is special for this kinda thing
You know what this is actually a wonderful thing to do so I think I'm gonna do it too! I don't think I've talked about my pookies much on here so I think I will :3

the thing about the biannual “the splatoon community should move to squidboards!” rallying cry is that i think it needs to be both a very intentional migration on the community’s part and something site staff has to be involved in

Being a real community is incompatible with this "actually you don't owe anyone anything" mindset that is so trendy these days. Sure, you don't have to play with anyone you don't want! You have that choice! But that choice directly contributes to stagnation in the scene.

The NEW Way to Name Splatoon Roles..?
INKWAVE has REDEFINED the way Splatoon players sort their Roles
Theyve made a system called Range x Role, which covers BOTH the Weapon's strengths and the player's playstyle
I cover it in this 🧵below!

Do any Low Ink alpha bracket teams / low mid-level teams have any replay codes from scrims/tournament sets? My team wants to look over some gameplay from peeps in that level
Bonus points if the matches have a dread, vroller, or dapple/vwiper in them, but we aren’t picky 🙇🏿🙏🏿

Played my first week of #S3NAL today and got 23rd… regardless of how scuffed matchmaking was I’m honestly really proud of my gameplay and I think I’m close to making a huge breakthrough. Played against a lot of really good teams and I feel like I’ve got a lot of material to review

Just wanna say I'm all for rehabilitation. Imo Zero is doing really well by returning to the scene and giving back to it via the liquipedia work he's doing. I also personally think Q is mostly okay because she waited past her ban. I'm just against Jared because of him inviting madness back early.

i’m so at war with the x rank debate. as someone who plays an unconventional backline i have several issues with x rank. but before i get into those i want to say that x and solo in general are a great way to improve at the game, should you have the time to grind them
im like 90% sure that so many people coping about x rank being bad/meaningless/unfair and convincing people not to play it set the western scene back by years

The first of hopefully many posts on data from the Splatoon Community Census!
Shown is a chart of players LUTI div from the most recent season, compared with their X power, showing a pretty linear correlation

I think the only thing I didn’t like is how normalized DLC has become.
I remember buying full games as a kid and not having to pay an additional 30% for content.
DK Bananza being $20, the inconsistency when it comes Switch 2 editions. I can only imagine how much Mario Wonder will be.

Incoming Nintendo Content Creators:
“WAS THE ONE HOUR DIRECT A DISAPPOINTMENT?”
“Nintendo Direct did NOT live up the HYPE”
“10+ Year Old Nintendo Game Bundle is $80”
Personally, I thought the direct was fine. Some nice things. I’ll probably just buy Galaxy 2 out of the new things announced.
