Here's Ballistics to show off a new special that probably could have helped your team in the Splatfest.
It's called the Splattercolor Screen, and it forms a massive wall! Now, anyone can walk through the wall, but enemies that do so will lose the ability to see color.
@TheBipedalSquid
that's like the entire point of the special. like the whole conception of it and splashdown are "what's something you can quickly use in a pinch on an aggro weapon". panic buttons arent inherently bad design, reef is still easy to not die to.
i've been feeling like the devs havent nerfed zooka or pencil specifically to encourage a defensive special countermeta to develop. and from what i'm hearing about japan's meta, they actually understood that and started running jr.
dude. i'm not saying rulebooking isn't kinda shitty, esp after the match, but like how hard is it to just not alias. it's such an easy rule to follow. especially with the FM thing in sos, do yall think now is the time to play around with aliases? grow the hell up lol
like this is what i think the game is trying to have us go for. but every time i bring up this dynamic, ppl tell me im crazy.
but im just sayin, why is japan on this then?
what gets to me is that people act like six had to go bravely dig up a bunch of private shit in order for the community to believe her.
she didn't lmao. i'm upset that i had a reason to read a screenshot of gem talking about getting sucked off. it feels violating to him and six.
@DreamyZack
ya like.. i wish ppl would focus on the fact that it's the brightness, bot the colorblindness that's the issue. im not photosensitive at all and it gives me eyestrain.
@TheBipedalSquid
it's an aggro special that can push you into the enemy's face. it's not supposed to be used safely. it's more versatile than splashdown with it's distance, but that's the core design lmao
genuinely one of the worst accounts in this community. getting attention by talking about only the worst shit that goes on as if them talking about it doesnt directly make situations worse.
and this might get me in hot water, but i have tried to be on six's side while reading through this stuff and the "evidence" she's posted has only hurt her case in my eyes. i am NOT saying that gem is innocent, i dont fucking know! but six's account is dodgy, to say the least.
someone i was talking about the SS stuff with said they think "guilty before proven innocent" for this situation. and i'm sorry but if you think that, you're a sick fuckin person.
no one asked her to do this. none of us needed to see things in this much detail. the way people on this site have handled this information is mind-boggling. i'm not even really on gem's side. it's just.. if the "guilty" aren't able to defend themselves, no one is. that's law.
@mutant_jay
SUCH A COOL DESIGN!!!! IM FLABBERGASTED!!!!!
i imagine it has a signature ability that lets it survive self-destruct and reduces damage to allies.... OR a signature move that's like self-destruct but cooler...
@ashbinary_
i find the idea of nintendo planning third kits and then seeing the playerbase not get a high enough egg count and going "actually nvm" so fucking funny 😭😭
got my first gg dm from a rando in open today. is this what fame is?
fr i dont know how they got my discord 😭 im guessing they seaeched me up on sendou?????
@FAWil4
@DealerUmbra
his ethnicity, "seol", is a mish-mash of lots of asian countries. the name sounds korean, and the history and culture are reminiscent of japan and china. his name does sound japanese, but moreover he isn't a specific asian nationality that exists irl
i feel like defensive specials are a big thing the west is lacking rn. granted, bubble is rly the only consistently good one, but cmon u fuckin cowards pull out a damn vac or chump on their niches. i'd put screen up there too as a defensive special but it's p much borderline
since everyone else is tweeting it i guess i should say i will be at riptide!!! please save me from ihop they are planning on beating me up please help
but yeah i've been wanting more bubbles to be run ever since inkjet meta. bubble makes inkjet and zooka practically useless with a smart team.
i have ppl tell me that defensive specials arent run bc theyre invalidated by strikes and crab. but LITERALLY that's good balance
as much as i love superjump, what an awful weekend for the community. it sucks to be reminded how many people on here are downright malignant and awful. i'm just hoping more folks can agree and commit to getting this shit out of our community...
"oh we dont know the specifics", "gem is a shitty person dont follow him!", like you cant say both of these things without sounding like the most biased, outrage-mongering piece of shit out there.
i know people were surprised abt our orange zap pick last night and i've been pushing for us to use cooler a little less overall lmao.
zones is cooler's worst mode. it's not bad there, but it's not nearly as game-changing as it is on other modes. 🧵
bro im sorry i respect flc's knowledge so much but bro has some of the worst doomer-y takes abt the game's design and trajectory. dude takes valid complaints and turns them into almost nihilistic views that ppl will hold up so hard just bc he's flc.
you motherfuckers need to get a GRIP. there's no files relating to seasons outside of the promised 2 year window...... IN THE DUMP FROM SIZZLE SEASON. that doesnt mean nothing will be added afterward! splat 2 got more support than originally planned/promised.
made a silly vid showcasing the special shredding capabilities of painbrush that are kinda neat. made it for self-reference at first, but decided to polish and have fun w it :3 hope ppl learn something from it!!
@kolos37
people in the replies are driving me nuts 😭 YES splat 3 maps are lockout heavy, but are we seriously gonna ignore how the spawns themselves are bigger????? that's one of the best map design aspects of s3. and it's very consistent across the game. walleye's spawn is far smaller.
@Exile_152
@That_Guy_Negus
no one is assuming the worst or saying it's automatically bad. just that it *can* be.
you can't understand this easily because you're white (which is fine), but people seeing your skin color as something silly/cartoonish/etc is a real thing and it sucks. so we're wary about it
had a convo about how the s3 music kinda lacks variety, which is true compared to s1 and s2, but i noted that each of the bands is still mainly based on a specific subgenre of rock/punk that u can notice if ur an alt rock nerd. so here's my take on the genres, what do we think...
i dont get why "it's boring" isnt a valid response to the idea of the scene being primarily zones-only lol. i dont want to play any single mode. i like variety. i'll lab specific modes to build my strategy in scrims. tournaments are supposed to be the fun part.
believing victims does not = immediately and completely condemning the accused. i have seen too many people allege abuse, and when examples are shown, they are clearly far from proving the person was abusive.
@Sorellawhy
dude why are you posting this? yes she has so much shit to answer for but why are we checking people's discord statuses expecting smth? do we really need to obsess over ppl who got called out? come on lol
genuinely one of the worst accounts in this community. getting attention by talking about only the worst shit that goes on as if them talking about it doesnt directly make situations worse.
whenever someone makes a statement like this, of course it's wrong to dismiss it but that's literally not what's happening here. being an org like splat safety means being careful about legal proceedings.
i keep seeing people say shit like "i cant believe yall care more about arguing about a kids game than all the kids dying in palestine" like yeah okay buddy i forgot activism is not ever thinking or speaking about anything else
it's actually very normal to await legal proceedings in non-judicial organizations. i'm always shitting on splat safety for being slow about cases, but this one literally is justified. *this is how professional organizations handle cases like this*. begging yall to get a grip.
goodbye riptide 2023! i'm proud of my commentary, my games, my team, my friends, and of course, my girl bed ❤️ ty everyone for making this weekend the highlight of my year!! see y'all in 2024!!!!
@lady__aria
the issue is that its healing effect isnt very noticeable. like imo it was a qol buff if anything.
the comp community hyped it up at first, but it didnt take long for ppl to not care bc it wasnt a very helpful buff. it just makes fighting in its aoe less punishing.
i'm not saying that's the case here, because I DONT FUCKIN KNOW. none of us fuckin know!!! but caution is needed. none of us who have been skeptical have demanded any proof from six despite everyone acting like we're forcing her to relive trauma in text form to prove [his] guilt.
@pikadave465
i usually love most of the tri-color maps. like i think this mode is way better than people give it credit for.
but this one is AWFUL like it's so imbalanced i hate it
@dinkimart
i'm not exaggerating this might be my favorite piece of splatoon media of all time. you captured the action of the manga with better characters, more engaging dialogue, and a way cooler art style. like im floored this is so good. i would buy this and put it everywhere.
