that fucking bird that i hate

We're back. #FTWin

Proof of concept in motion All done in OBS no plugins

www.twitch.tv/marxofthedark speed ladder! hooray!

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) #sendouink

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

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

need rainmaker removed from *every* tournament yesterday.

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.

an attempt to explain my approach to mentality in competitive Splatoon (new long-form doc) zy-f.notion.site/a-walkthroug... please like/rt/share with friends if you find it useful or insightful i dont want to impose my views but it would be cool to at least start some discourse #compsplatoon

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.

im more excited for 60 fps clam blitz than mario kart lmfao (i still dont even have a purchase confirmed 🥲)

MOMOCON 2025 CHAMPIONS🥇 We had an amazing time. Thank you everyone for the support and especially the TOs for such a smooth event! No games dropped btw… #LIGHTUP

I want to use this account to finally clear up a surprising misconception about the new ToS for Switch 2. Thread down below and repost when you can.

I think too many tournaments isnt the issue it self i think the problem is there is no END GOAL. What I mean is when you are in low lvl every weekly/ scrim is you working towards improving trying to get banned from LOW INK. Thread 🧵

If you've made and currently run a tournament within the last year or so, I encourage you to please answer this questionnaire! It is completely anonymous unless you specify, I would love to get data to find out some of this information! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hello #compsplatoon people! I'm conducting a survey about livestreams of competitive Splatoon and how much people keep up with competitive Splatoon. This survey is anonymous, and anyone in the community is welcome to respond, even if you don't compete! forms.gle/9f2tmzk26QXV...

Sblast is the definition of cheap

Want to talk a little about 8s and why I hope ppl keep playing and talking about them. 🧵

The price of Switch 2 games seems like it's gonna be on the high end, but AAA games' prices have been pretty high for a while. The *actual* problem are stagnant wages that haven't caught up with inflation, an increase in cost of living, and no increases to federal minimum wage! This is political!

Wiper might be so back, this hammer buff is hilarious

This community needs to start having a discussion soon about holding major LANs in red states. Georgia, Ohio, previously Texas for LTC. This law will appear in other red states, Texas and Florida are testing grounds for this shit.

Map planner but you can see the effective range of the weapon. Very early prototype, but its working

Too much emphasis is put on location callouts and nowhere near enough is put on intention/movement callouts

my day 1 switch just needs to hang on for a few more months now 🙏

Changed this to be a short video, I want to show off some of the chnanels top players have started as well as a helpful feature for finding videos. I hope this can help make the wider community more aware of how to help grow competitive content: youtu.be/1-O3UgaNjWw?...

I feel weird for asking questions to others since it seems “too serious.” Learning the mechanics of the game in depth is “nerdy.” We’re discouraged from trying new things because “what’s the point?” It’s wild that we’re all here for the game yet it’s often wrong to express deep interest

i would love to stream more but the games i play (besides s3 ofc) are very graphically demanding and my 7 year old pc is not happy about the tests ive been running to see if i could even try 😭one day maybe

To say this in the most un-corniest way. The Splatoon Competitive Scene will only "die" if the people choose to allow it to "die". Its up to the people to make stuff happen instead of waiting for it to happen. Don't sit, just do and create.
