20XX IS BACK! (didya miss us?) Mark the dates! March 14th & 15th at 7pm CET/1PM ET > EVERYONE QUALIFIES FOR DAY 2! < $200 Starting Prizepool! Playing in LUTI? We have LUTI maps! Registrations are now OPEN on sendou ink! Bracket link: sendou.ink/to/3257/regi...

Maybe I should now that they fixed the weapon usage calculation

Very interested to see cooler usage this patch. Cooler respawn + SJ time pretty heavy impact imo 7.133s->8.133s. At those margins I'd imagine you feel it. Pencil harder to get kills for people not as adept with it. Aura abilities overlap 4/7 New death disincentiver (gives enemy aura)

Patch 11.0 is now up on the site. Includes new params to Build/Comp Analyzer & Obj DMG calc. Also added the SJ nerf to Build Analyzer and a new AURA toggle. Thank you Lean for the params as always. Have fun with the new patch everyone! #sendouink

Excited for the 2nd LUTI hosted on sendou.ink 😎

LARGEST PATCH BREAKDOWN EVER MADE BY THIS CHANNEL (I THINK) UP NOW GO WATCH AND RT SHOUTOUTS TO THE EDITORS: youtu.be/obOIoU4YF04?... (all nighters are a canon event across everyone I've worked with)

Which mechanics change do you think will have a bigger gameplay impact Splatoon 3 launch (Squid Roll/Surge & Spawn from air) vs. Or 11.0 (HP bar, Aura, hitbox change)

Can we get the health bars showing somehow in the spec cam please

Your mate mid-game: he is one oh my god he is so weak somebody hit him literally 1hp left And then when you watch the vod back you see

Next balance patch expected sooner than normal

Wow quite interesting. Can't wait to see how these changes play out in practice. Since you can extend the flow aura (what a name) with assists too it might potentially be active for quite a long time. First Stealth Jump since launch of Splatoon 2 is huge since it's everywhere. Seeing HP is big too

Managing services is truly a gift sometimes. There is this annoying issue I remember from about 1.5 years ago that is in principle out of my hands. Even had my workarounds for it. Then it just disappeared so ok i remove all workarounds. Now it's back 🕵️‍♂️

We are currently live with In The Zone 49 by the amazing @sendou.ink !! Twitch: www.twitch.tv/dappleproduc... YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA5Y...

Introducing sendou ink tournament tiering system. Providing information what level of play tournament features for competitors and spectators. Each tournament has now a rank ranging from X, S+, S... all the way to C. ALSO don't forget In The Zone is happening this Saturday! 🧵 #sendouink

Thanks for the great response! I just released an update that contains 12 fixes and tweaks to the /comp-analyzer feature based on early feedback. #sendouink

Announcing sendou.ink/comp-analyzer Plan the perfect team composition. Features: - sort weapons by category, sub or special weapon - damage combo table - enemy ink resistance / sub defense sliders - range estimator - sub/special categories 🧵 with more details on features #sendouink

Pushed some internal rework to forms. If anything weird especially for VoD, scrims, build or associations schema let me know. It was a some amount of changes so possible something broke. Unrelated but tournament streams same thing. #sendouink

Update about slowness with Low Ink yesterday. Root cause is some library updates I had to do which sadly come with some performance regressions. I found a quick win that makes the tournament API 2x faster. This is now deployed and for future I have other performance optimization ideas. #sendouink

Big video: youtu.be/X3YlhWGZ54A?...

Cool feature!

Number 1 thing that needs to be fixed. It will only get worse on its own not better

Would it be useful?

Major version bump but no new kits. So something else than just balance patches, what? "modifications to some systems related to battles" seems like they could even rework how some modes work or something. Or e.g. the ""ledge dash"" (forgot the real name) which is quite rarely used could be reworked

Enjoy 9 minutes of me yapping about splatoon being a hard game. This is my first time actually tryharding when editing and I spent at least 15 hours editing this video. Hope you guys enjoy 🤍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p9H...

Summer rolls might objectively be the best food invented

Should I make it that we can make adjustments to ranked matches after locking them. Namely: mod changing SQ wrong reported match, adjusting ranked tournament rosters, invalidating matches boosted w/ new acc. Upside: more accurate ranks Downside: "random" losing/gaining points Thoughts? #sendouink

Released a re-imagined seeding page! - Shows team/player changes since seeding was set, visual indicators for new teams/players and removed players - New teams autoseeded even if you previously saved a seeding - Direct seed input by typing - Mobile support - Shows Plus Server membership #sendouink

Notice: action needed if you're still using API token for the website you got from me and didn't generate yourself. Those will stop working next week. Contact me if questions but by default if you have at least streamer role in an established org or are supporter you should have access #sendouink.

If I made a dedicated page per weapon what should I put there. Main thing is to act everything you can already do per weapon on the site: links to build analyzer, vods, builds etc. But also parameter (comparison), kits, top XP, popularity (X rank) and so on. What else?

twitch.tv/sendou giving mini splatling a go

I appreciate the speculation that I deleted the website because I didn't place 1st in Triton-Cup or that we added too much pronouns to crash the website but turns out it was a plain old memory leak. Should now be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Was fun playing Triton-Cup yesterday! Had some good matches and then not so good matches but also slowly getting the hang of the updates. Definitely will try to do more later this year.

first tournament in 18 months www.twitch.tv/sendou/

Thanks to a contribution by @hfcred.dev sendou ink now has an often requested support for pronoun selection! It can be added on your profile settings page and shows in some contexts such as chats, tournament match rosters & the API stream layouts use. #sendouink

2026 Splatoon related goals - attend some LAN - stream at least once a week - play some tournaments - best year for the website 🙏

New tournaments feature: dropping teams in brackets other than Swiss - any current match for dropped is ended early - any future match (e.g. double elimination losers side), also ended early - excluded from bracket progression - last place in standings of RR - same point loss in ranked #sendouink

Watched Minecraft movie

This is last month's news but Nintendo acquired a studio based in Singapore that worked on Splatoon 3 www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/re... Since Splatoon became a big franchise for them I would guess they have been preparing to be able to work on those simultaneously with Animal Crossing

Today's update has a bigger reworking of SendouQ serverside logic. Main goals are to improve performance, maintainability of the code and fix the rare logic issues where e.g. you might end up in a group with 5 players or two matches at the same time. Let me know if any problems! #sendouink
