It seems like people are trying to bring Japanese players into tournaments now, it's going to be pretty cool seeing how it evolves on the long-term. I do hope these Western players won't completely rely on them to carry them to victories on the short term and instead improve themselves a lot

My 2025 Splatoon year is over, this was one of my best years ever in terms of achievements with around a 90% tournaments winrate. 5000XP, Riptide 2025, Oktofest 2025, 3 SQ Finales, 3 Superjumps, 6 ITZ, 7 Barnacle Bash, and many more other wins with a lot of different players.

Just explained my NEW YORK CITY STATEN ISLAND trip to my family at the Christmas party

fuzzy told me 10 years ago that playing with japanese players "just make sense" I never understood what he meant until recently, it's honestly indescribable and it feels really good

2nd in BZB with Noah, kou, Miramia I feel pretty sad because I was too weak. Nonetheless this is probably the most fun I had playing the game in a very long time. Very stacked lobbies and the opponents played super well

Chumps Bow won Area Cup today, I knew it was coming one day or another, super happy. This bow/tent/flingza/dapple/96/roller "weirdo core" is def what I've been rooting for this past year. I love playing Bows myself (all 3 of them) but Inkline Bow is so underrated, it's a lot of spam and underrated

NA League is over, congrats to Milky Way for winning Moonlight definitely surprised me, they played some games very well A little bit sad for FTWin losing earlier than they expected, but this kind of stuff sadly happens in tournament.

double bucket won area cup today yet i've never seen double sblast win anything well well well

does someone know a good video editor rdy to work rn for some splatoon video

Both Milky Way and FTWin look good and they’re probably, with no real surprises, the favorites to win the league BET is also looking quite good recently so they might be the underdogs Haven’t had the chance to look at the other teams

I'll probably be watchpartying the NA League on Saturday and Sunday I'm not sure if there'll be upsets but I hope to see great games

Life is officially completed, my original GOAT 🙏

Communicating in Japanese and thinking for a couple seconds on how to say « Left » or « Right » reminds me when I was playing with fuzzy in Splatoon 1, 8 years ago, and I couldn’t speak a single word of english, didn’t know any weapon’s name, had to think about what i was trying to communicate. lol

After earning Pineapple’s follow, I got Chocopero’s follow, too grateful

Well played to Milky Way, they played really well and I had trouble getting any values in these games, I'm glad my team had my back. It was probably the most intense Grands reset I've ever witnessed and I was glad to be a player in it, I'm sure it was insane to watch. GGs

Superjump 7 🏆 Gos, Futa, Jordan, Grey Honestly super happy to win this tournament, communicating in Japanese is tough but it is really fun once you get the hang of it. 3 Superjumps in a row to close out the year, I'm glad!

Lobstar last 3 days: Top 1 Elite Challenge Win Area Cup Win Saimyon Mash Cup 🐐

Things we need in X Rank: - Average X Power of the lobby displayed - We need the names back too, it's fun to see who you're against and it honestly doesn't prevent stream snipe

Played 1 hour of that Elite Challenge in Takoroka (couldn't wake up in time) 2736, could've gotten legit 2800 if i had more time but 9am on a Saturday is wild SoloQ with only the best of the best is very probably the peak of Splatoon, very enjoyable format, hope they do it again (keep it SZ)

Playing S-Blast in Takoroka Division makes me realize that I've only been abusing the skill floor of the weapon I still have so much room for growth and improvement

It feels really good, it's as if my brain needs to be active at all times especially calculating latency interactions and the way higher skill level. Side note but the X Rank guide is taking shape! Still no ETA but it's looking good

Lost more games in a single JP X Rank rotation than in three months of TC NA X Rank 🫠 It feels like years I truly didn't play in the Japanese division, I need to get used to the momentum again and become way better

[XP5000] Takoroka X Rank www.twitch.tv/greyspl

Literally queued for 3 hours and found 1 game in total. My hidden MMR is so inflated due to farming in the Tentatek Division and it's making it unplayable now.

I want to get back into Chess

I’m not sure what’s next for me in Splatoon. I still enjoy the game, but it feels like I’ve hit all my goals: Top 10 Japan, 5000XP West, EU/US LANs wins, and plenty of online wins too. I could always keep pushing for higher XP, but when would the grind truly end? I'm satisfied with what I've done.

The powers in SZ/RM/CB could be way higher but I totally burnt myself out halfway into the season! I'm still really glad I didn't give up in Tower and I was able to reach 5000xp!

Don't get it wrong: Zerraz is still the best player of all time

Suction Bomb Wavebreaker

This season is the season I scrimmed the least ever, I basically just played X-Rank to keep my mechanics up to date with S-Blast, but I wanted to swap to Splash for the Finale. I'm glad I was able to bring back an old part of me after what felt like years of not playing Support to secure the win

SendouQ Season 9 Finale 🏆 Gos, Noah, Volty, Grey I’m really glad I was able to perform well this season, both in soloQ reaching 5000XP, and winning this SQ Major :)

X-Rank Guide 📝

XP5000 done!!!

Almost lost btw

the game might truly be dead i’ve never seen the JP X rank leaderboard powers ever be that low it’s insanity It’s 10 days left in the season and the 10th place is not even 3500 in zones, I’m not even talking about the other modes where it’s also super low in comparison. Sad

Original best flex player

the only downside of LANs is that you have to play on Switch 1 for logistical reasons, which means you can only use a Switch 1 controller

Squiffer + Liter in Area Cup finals Crème Fresh had the vision all along

Area Cup -> NA League -> LOL Worlds cool weekend

i'm serious when i say this but isn't mario galaxy objectively the best video game of all time? soundtrack, atmosphere, gameplay, creativity for the time, influence etc.. I didn't even own this game so I can't say it's my personal fav. perhaps only zeldaOOT rivals it?

damn with Jordan not playing the NA league anymore, that means Fives will be dropping from the league, that makes it way less interesting as a viewer that the best NA player won't play anymore and that a top 3 team will just be dropping considering the gap between them and the 4th best team

Seeing people in West finally play and talk about Vac being « meta » in Rainmaker « because of the buffs » is quite hilarious (It’s always been « meta » in this mode)
