In Thursday's update I will add new tools that aim to aid organizers in making sure tournaments run in time.

1) Bracket displays time each set has been ongoing for
2) Match pages display the target time per set
3) End set option

(thread for more information)

By far the most refreshing thing I remember playing JP tourneys in S2 was just how seriously they took being on-time. Rules called you a "war criminal" if you did not join a lobby within one minute of it being made 😭

The disrespect towards others' time is a huge reason I don't play many tourneys
Can this be a rule in western tournaments

Brella discourse I see all just feels a little silly theres like a mix of people seeing brella as a super paint bot or that it should do nothing but wkey and can fight like it has 90 damage. I think there's just an insane gap in understanding of how the weapon functions under a new identity.

Haven't really played any casual SQ sets in a year, and the first set I play, it just seem like people are dodging not saying anything in chat except to cancel the game lmfao

(We're silver idk why, ig it's a new season and the people on my team haven't played in a long time)

It's 2025, please play

Tbh, this is not just a Splatoon community thing but a continuing problematic today thing.

Where people can openly or publicly be discriminatory BUT if they’re popular, well known, very good at X thing, they’re given a pass.

Outta sight outta mind/not my problem type of mentality. Sad.

My only big hope for next patch is that its buff focused, no main sub or special is OP right now, Pen is the closest thing that could use a small nerf but even then I think other cooler options could be buffed instead. Game itself is great right now and just needs to be added to.

online competitive splatoon orgs still have an advertising problem because while the production value seemed high for SAC (idk i didnt watch i just heard a lot more effort went in), none of the posts i saw featuring trailers or content of SAC had relevant info in its post.

Something I wish the comp splat scene understood more is truly to what extent different "levels" experience the game differently, and I don't just mean skill-wise. Just about everything from social bubbles, philosophies on the game, motivations and desires from playing the game, etc widely vary. 🧵

sendou ink lobbies (8s) feature concept

I feel like this is one pattern in the community that the site could potentially provide value with when it comes to discovery and team division. Actually the SPL2 site already had the "Team Splitter" feature but this one would be a bit more involved still.

The update to S3 speaks to the belief that Nintendo has in this franchise.

It’s not a Star Fox series that was left behind.

It’s not a Pikman franchise that gets no DLC/future updates.

It’s also not Pokemon, where they rush game to game.

I hope people see how important Splatoon is to Nintendo.

Suddenly top level has tournaments, this summer alone has 2 quals for SWC, superjump 5, SWC so far.
I thought sq s7 might be the most stacked event in a while but that might just be the start of a new era if we can get some more groups forming.
The events are here teams need to be too.
