Splatoon 3 - demo is playable, splatfest starts saturday!

[Blue Resort]

I much prefer inkblot over wahoo world. I got blessed with a cracked team on my second attempt and we scored 145 twice. We even beat the new boss first try. There are a lot of safe spots which makes luring in special waves much easier.
If you have the grizzco umbrella then you should probably focus solely on killing enemies, especially during the griller and glowflies wave.
I think I'm guaranteed a silver prize this time but i'll aim for higher just in case i get cucked by 1 point again

Spoiler: Why

"I accept that I probably won't be able to get past 122 before big run ends, I'll just play one more Horrorboros since my meter is full so I can hopefully get a silver scale"

My teamates:

 

[Blouie]

Played big run for 8 hours straight and only got to a highscore of 131. Probably won't get gold but I had fun.

 

[The Real Me]

Noticed that they added a pole in the centre of Wahoo World. Personally, I think it only serves to make skirmishes for the centre slightly more tedious and slightly longer. Do any of you have an opinion on this very minor change?

 

[Blouie]

I like the cover but the pole looks like shit.

i haven't even fucking checked at this point

Id like to run a certain outfit (amiibo gear) but the way the perks work is just kinda retarded. I have to wait till around now for the splatfest for the shells and then I also need to grind ability chunks to fill out the slots I want if I lack a gear ticket and said ticket. On top of that the double XP tickets at first looked good they count for every match but then I realized they provide diminishing returns if you lose meaning you can get fucked if you are using a gear ticket especially if you get fucked on the drop chance the skill.

Also the kids are fucking cracked but I always face them but never are they on my team

 

[The Real Me]

Noooobody was fucking with Bigfoot. This explains why so many of my Tri-Colours were mirror-matches.

gayop idea: make posts that say
Yes! We Now Booyah All Week!

unreportable

 

[gaystoner]

this person should do themselves a favor and off themselves.

TL;DR...someone is physically in pain over a game giving you a 'grayscale' ultimate and it makes some extra squishy sounds during the effect.

Fuck that, I'm not using the stupid squeezer, or a brella.
New dualies with the splashdown is fun. It's totally going to be nerfed though, it's too good.

Also Big Run rewards got fucked up

I've missed every big run and splatfest the last few months and it's drivingme nuts because unlike splatoon 2 there hasnt been too many places talking about or updating on shit. Nobody I play games with is ever on when I'm available either which makes it more ridiculous. I need to get back to playing this game it's like the trend of "oh i missed thing why do i keep playing if i missed the things" and the vicious demotivation cycle begins.

for me it's the constant burnout that the retarded battle pass gimmick causes

yeah that too. I still remember in splatoon 1 where there wasn't shit locked behind battlepass stuff or region specific promo codes. Splatoon 2 was a nightmare with the latter to the point the fucking herogear for octo expansion was locked behind a JP only pre-order magazine promo thing or some shit.

i was really considering getting a wii u just to play s1. nothing comes close to the original vibe it had. then i found out the servers are shutting down in 2024 but i was probably gonna hack the console anyway so whatever

 

[The Real Me]

DLC was kino. That is all.

 

[Neurotypical Mantis]

oh yeah i've won 6 runs so far and my hand cramps up during the final boss. you've gotta basically keep moving the entire time

 

[The Real Me]

I found the first couple of runs to be challenging (Charger in particular could be tedious at times) but it becomes a cake walk in the mid to late game when you unlock a bunch of upgrades, the final run is a pretty decent challenge though, I managed to beat it on my second attempt but it was clutch.

Spoiler: Spoiler for final challenge & strategy:

Eight's Pallet is unique in that it loses 6 chip slots for every hack you have enabled, I managed to beat it with one extra life hack and one continue hack

 

[Neurotypical Mantis]

Spoiler: we did it boys (100% spoilies)

so it turns out the minimum chips it'll give you is 6 even with all the hacks, so i just did that and chose the most useful chips for me + curling bombs.
i've mastered the smollusk fight but it makes my hands cramp from constantly holding up on the joystick. the real hectocotylus and sperm sac torture was the 28th? floor where i ran out of floor resets/not enough to skip and i got the splat zones map where it's like, two zones and then the middle is uninkable in this crevice of death. took me 13 minutes. all in all still not as hard as OE. now give me the fucking pearl drone headband you malformed fetal octopus furry faggot.
too lazy to upload screenshot so ye olde phone image.
