The Splatoon Beginners Academy has allowed many new players to get a feel for the competitive scene. We sat down with Ariikitty to talk about her experiences in Season 0 and what it's been like to play on a team. Check it out at youtu.be/NlTei-xFRng

Thank you so much @splstrong.com for having me on to talk about the SBA! It was an amazing time and I hope others find it as useful as I have youtu.be/NlTei-xFRng?... #compsplatoon #splatoon

Tips on how to improve your mental

The moment in question: (Pancakes pov in replay mode)

After just under a year of playing comp, we won Bronze Bracket in Shark Tank: Homeland Edition #4! Thank you to @itsn-a-m.bsky.social for playing with us as a sub, and GGs to all the teams we faced!

Another showcase another time I’m impressed by how well teams come together after only 6 weeks in the academy. 100% the best way into Comp Splatoon and I can’t recommend it enough to those looking to start taking part in tournaments. #splatoon #compsplatoon

I added a third circle because I'm such an overachiever :3 (that and cooler slander is my passion)

Screw your special tier lists. I want to see people's special venn diagrams on what specials are not only good but actually fun to play (this is highly a personal opinion and I am smooth brain)

Here in X Rank Civilization, no one chooses to jump for the ttek region. It’s better to be safe and do the one block jump for the takaroka, rather than risk your entire queue time for just 1 game tick less lag.

go follow @distinktspl.bsky.social and @lessthanthree-spl.bsky.social :3

Distinkt placed 2nd at Splat Vibes Vol 3! So so happy with our performance, we're all delighted with 2nd! GGs to everyone we played we had lots of great matches, thank you so much to everyone who supported us it was awesome, and a massive thank you to everyone who made this incredible event happen!

Despite everything... Thank you all for coming! 💖 #SplatVibes

Holy!! Today goes down as one of the best days of my Splatoon comp journey. Never did I expect to ever play on stage in front of a room of people! Thank you so much Splat UK for organising the event and a really big thank you to my team for joining me for this, it means so much to me <3 #SplatVibes

hope everyone has a lovely time at splat vibes

This all I will say in regards to recent matters: Please be careful with what you say online. It can cost you your job or future opportunities. It can impact your education. It can impact your safety. Not everything you feel or think must be posted online. Offline is also an option.

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...

if you could ask questions to some of the biggest creators in the spl scene, what would they be?

shit like this cannot be ignored and is everyone's problem. there is real evil and danger happening and you will start seeing friends and family disappear if people dont step up. this is not just some guy talking shit. do your research outinstl.com/republican-c...

I've remained silent on recent discussion, and will probably remain to do so, but If people in this community have the ability to put hours of their time each week to help run it You can put 5 extra minutes to word something mindfully and with nuance Be respectful, we all want the same thing

the vagueposting "aw man ssc needs to exist :( but change how it does things" is the centrist take of the day

My thoughts on Splat Safety and recent community discussion

Please take the time today to listen to the TO's and other community leaders who are speaking about their experiences today, there have been many times their voices do not get the attention and respect they deserve and we have lost too many people good people already, I'd like to not lose more.

The only thing I will say: I could not do what TOs do for Splatoon. Volunteering your own time with the risk of being harassed and/or discriminated against is mind boggling to me. I don’t know how they do it but when they do leave, as we have seen many great people leave, I understand why.

I might just stop TOing after I'm done with my upcoming responsibilities. The players act like we get paid to be here and don't thank us basically ever when we work at least 3 hours (often more) every edition to give you a fun, fair, and safe tournament experience to the BEST OF OUR ABILITY. (1/3)

hey if youre sick of seeing all this shit about Payment processors and censorship ID laws etc trust me, us folks talking about it are sick of having to post about it too. we wanna be posting about anything else right now but we are collectively at a point of no return we HAVE to fight this. NOW.

I want to begin by saying that I am not close to Jared or Madness, these thoughts are my own, and I apologize for not speaking up sooner Jared's statement emits ignorance and foolishness.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

BREAKING NEWS New data shows from SPL Census shows that Splattercolor screen is HOMOPHOBIC more to come (graph of all respondents on left, graph of people who self Identify as queer on right)

After months of asking ourselves "where is your fourth", we can finally say: Right here! We're delighted to announce that @tahos.bsky.social is joining the team :D

And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.

Ha

I see a lot of reverse causation going on rn wrt the western scene. A thread. “The top habits of successful people” is the one I often see, where people assume that because successful people have these habits, if I follow the habits I’ll be successful too. The reality is often backwards

I know we're all talking about How Can Top-Level Splatoon Scene Grow In The West But I think we also need to have a talk about--across all skill levels, but obviously this is very applicable to top level--how can we treat each other with more kindness? In what way is your ego getting in the way?

The irony of people saying “Comp Splatoon should be fun” when they themselves are people who make the game not fun for people. Disrespectful, ignorant, and neglectful. There is a huge reason why certain teams are highly respected and appreciated by the community. Moonlight is the perfect example.

Messy rant warning. I feel like the Splatoon community underestimates the disconnection between top-level and low-level. People gain followers and fame as they get better at the game, so popular Splatoon content is extremely biased towards top-level.

Anyway, long time no see! We played in Reach 12 earlier today (or I guess yesterday at the time or writing this) with @mr-pigthe2nd.bsky.social as a sub since we only had equal-to-three of LessThanThree around at the time. GGs to all the teams we played against!

Nothing will singlehandedly kill more Splatoon players than this

i have a better idea (work in progress)

❤️+🔁VERY APPRECIATED Splatoon Community Census 2025! The Splatoon Community Census aims to collect information about the Splatoon community to encourage dialogue and to aid in identifying and solving issues within the scene. It takes only 10 minutes! Participate at: 🔗 forms.gle/CWpLTpEX8BSN...

if you play max charge up screen aerospray in ranked i hope all your friends abandon you

I really don't like how cooler has become so ubiquitous that not running it is seen as some anti establishment statement of some kind. as if it wasn't what we did for the first 8 years of Splatoon's existence

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Missile pro is actually the worst thing they've ever put in the game

Accidental advice on escaping the gender binary

Really good idea. Note that the deadline on this is VERY SOON (end of July), but it's already at ~78,000. Remember, MPs don't need to stick to the exact topic of the petition, so if we get this over the line, we can brief MPs to discuss any and ALL the issues with trans healthcare. PLEASE SIGN!
