something i think we don't recognize enough is how genuinely difficult splatoon is like. it is the fastest paced shooter game out there, with the most unique movement mechanics, and you've either got MOTION CONTROLS or sticks without aim assist

So we can all agree plus servers are fake right

Can’t win fights? X Rank -> write notes between games Struggle with coordination? Scrim -> discuss with team Stomping most competition but faltering against better opponents? Open Level Tournament -> VOD review Bad at REVIEW!? Seek Coaching -> implement in PRACTICE

I have achieved the god level coaching setup.

I was dead this entire time

I forgot to post my riptide clips I miss riptide so much

Tonight we've learned a very important lesson- a carbon roller WILL find a way to get that enemy pick they want. Trust.

I MISSED THE QUAD

Wyrmwind is NOT done yet! With a 100 to 0 clam blitz push, they take their first game in collegiate top 8 against USF Gold leaving them at 1-2.

I’ve come to really enjoy pokemon legends z-a. While I have my criticisms about the game, it’s been a blast

Every carbon player

Car rides are SO peaceful bro, they relax me every time Even my 9 and a half hour car ride with my team was peaceful 10/10

#compsplatoon @joythedatanerd.bsky.social talks about his Splatoon ranking system, why it is needed, and why results culture may be harmful to the competitive scene Full interview: youtu.be/pi9p9rlOTWw

Between trouble with my internet, constant disconnects, and wanting to learn more over winning I’ve decided to be proud that I’ve gotten top 40 and go for it next season🫡

Remember that whole top 10 thing? Yeahhhhh maybe next season

*Almost gets the highest x power this season* A communication error has occurred 🫠

New video go watch :3 youtu.be/-1cOcfwaM-w?...

Guys…I don’t think hyperdive is real……. I’m seeing the term everywhere…I feel like it’s just feeding….

“Sometimes no movement can be the best movement”

😛

Something that isn’t emphasized enough is what “playing fast” means. I think people mistake it as holding forward and going as fast as you can, but that just leads to constant death. “Playing fast” means seeing opportunities as soon as they come and acting efficiently (as least deaths as possible)

Making progress!

Mannn I wish crab charger was used more, it’s gotta be my favorite weapon to pair up with

@turple.bsky.social pointed out the timing of my posts, i didn’t even realize LOL

Something I’ve learned is playing TOO much is definitely a thing. While trying to get top 10, I’ve noticed a winning and healthy mindset is key…otherwise you’ll spiral into a frustrated autopilot that makes you play so much worse Remember to take breaks and give yourself a breather!

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PAINBRUSHES IN X BATTLE

The more I play carbon, the more I realize the potential of other abilities such as swim speed and especially haunt. While ninja squid helps its ability to be seen, other abilities really utilize its capabilities of taking off angles quickly and either grabbing or playing off attention.

Going for top 10 this season wish me luck😅

Here's my photo album from Riptide 2025! This is the largest album I've ever had and it was a pleasure to be able to photograph Riptide and learn so much from doing it. I'm gonna take notes, improve and step up my game for next time. Hope y'all enjoy the album! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Finally I’d like to thank my best friend Eldi. He drove us NINE HOURS here and back out of the pure kindness of his heart. Love you man!
