X rank has been fucking me up like how do I win this shit man, idk how I nearly got 3k last season 😭

2 Paddling Pool wins back to back! Rosters: PP 341: Me @sotoka.bsky.social Sky Katz PP 342: Me @foxspl.bsky.social @sotoka.bsky.social Jasmine Next time I won't zoom the camera so far out :(

Play the game with me RAAHHHHHH LET MY PEN LET YOU GO CRAZY AND KILL THEM ALL (retweets appreciated)

I don't think you understand, the ONLY thing I'm learning in X is how to fight liters IN X. Not even liter in general, this stuff is useless information for comp; Just X Rank. I wanna prove my mettle but this isn't testing anything. Im 500 away from my goal and yet im playing better than I ever have

Liter is the most unskilled weapon in X rank I'm so sorry to any of my friends who play liter, it's fine in comp I promise. In X tho I swear the past 10 mahi openings vs liter Ive killed 2-3 people and STILL we lose the opening cause liter gets to hit the easiest shots while exposed for like 1 frame

$6 light blue splat bomb plush got 🥇 in Baja's Blast #19, ggs to everyone we played but FUCK YOU Chunky Milk!!! /j @pitatochu.bsky.social - chased a rat @tacosspl.bsky.social - lemme go cjr pls @deezyspl.bsky.social - accidentally muted @foxspl.bsky.social - I'll throw if their pen does too

The school is getting sued for this, I thought MY lunches were bad 🙄

I guess I can just keep improving while I wait for players to play with. It'll be hard to have fun outside of soloqueue but it's the best I can do!

I'm not sure what exactly im supposed to do rn with this game. I constantly hear people say "just play with your friends and get better" but like all my friends are low level or very loyally dedicated to their team. I didn't grind up with people I reviewed myself and now there's no one

ever since I made it to +3 MORE THAN HALF of the scrims ive joined have had no VC like I dont think y'all understand this is worse than not playing at all it's so bad 😭 find someone else if you're gonna waste everyone's time with poor practice!!!

really, really hope i can find the group im looking for to play in the NA league. everyone else is happy and has their groups but i feel very demotivated that i cant find even a half decent group. i hate that i probably wont end up playing because of that, damn.

oh yeah levi now teehee

Kept up with some of the best players in the west in sendouq today. It feels really fuckin amazing knowing that my work preparing to play as quick and efficiently as my team lets me has payed off and applies just as well as I had hoped. Im on the right track, Ive just gotta keep at it 💪

A new motivation has crystallized for me lately: I want to be more individually notable within this scene I’ve been putting in a ton of independent work on my skills, and it’s not all clear to see yet, but I really want to get there. I think I can be a really insane player if I keep pushing myself

Las Creaturas made it through the great CCA sendou explosion and got🥇in CCA CQ1. Awesome games from everyone we went against, and we’ll see you again next week! Roster: @foxspl.bsky.social - Pencil/zap @jumphavoc.bsky.social - Bucket/naut @fairylightlux.pmd.social - Wiper @cs_thunder5 - Dualie

well this is awkward....

Las Creaturas got 1st 🥇 in CCA Circuit Qualifier #1, only dropping one game to Death Roll (my fault) Grant us seed 1 next time and we will be your villains. 😈 Roster: @cs_thunder5 @jumphavoc.bsky.social @fairylightlux.pmd.social @foxspl.bsky.social

IYKYK.....

You guys don't understand the horrors that lead to this

In a couple hours, the CCA Circuit season will begin! With all these new crazy teams showing up, nobody knows how it'll shake out... except for me. "The Prophet". (disclaimer: these are my rushed predictions for CCA Div 1. I'd love to hear everyone's opinions and objections!) 🧵 #compsplatoon

I feel like this is the least active the comp community has been in a while, and it all started around the time right after riptide. It's just a theory but I know Jackpot's return being put up with was really demotivating for me and many others; but I think it went further than that.

Blueprints∡ is looking for 2 players to compete in the NA League Looking to improve over the course of the league and play our best ∡Plus Level ∡Prefer 18+ ∡Consistent scrims + VOD review ∡Be able and interested in playing with Screen Dm flingking or fox_spl if you're interested or have questions!

red pen is so joever

First time I’ve ever felt red pen was real, ggs to everyone we played against!!!

With Riptide 2025 come and gone, Moonlight placed 5th/111 Although it was a rough weekend, we'll keep looking forward to the future for Superjump 6 this weekend #LIGHTUP 🌙✨

(Silksong) so completing courier’s rasher before getting faydown cloak was a decision huh, that woulda made the route so much easier lmao

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the largest Collegiate Crew yet! We’re so grateful for our amazing and lovely community ❤️

he stands alone... far above the others... peerless... serene... a god amongst the peasants bellow... he alone shall win this tournament

Fox!’s post-Riptide 2025 Reflection!!! I’m retiring the beeeeeg witch hat til next year, and hoping to be more deserving of its glory in the year to come. Gonna post some of my thoughts on my run and the tourney overall. Feel free to interact or say hi if you met me this year!!!

I’ll do my riptide reflection tomorrow. Very fun tho :3

NVM IT ENDED UP IN A POCKET IN MY BAG I DIDNT KNOW EXISTED???? I don’t know how this happened im sorry to everyone i bothered

It ain’t my place to call out the BS with letting these guys compete, but I think the comment section of posts like these would probably be a pretty good place to do so!!! TO’s deserve so much praise for the work they do but I think a huge part of the community agrees this needs to change man

I LEFT MY SWITCH IN THE SPLATOON BALLROOM WTF IS WRONG WITH ME I hope someone is up at 8am tomorrow for me to get it from…

So who are we rooting for yall? The team that squidbagged moonlight as they lost their shot of podium or half of Jackpot? 🙃

I really wanna be in a team setting again, I miss getting to regularly play tournaments and improve with a consistent group

I was at 2998.3 Takoroka Zones, this was the final game I had time to play. It was a 2-2 series and a 5 - 12 brush ends my chance at 3k. I feel pretty dejected since 3k jp X rank has been a goal of mine for a long while but I'll keep trudging on. Hopefully I can find a team soon!!!

the top 500 JP vheavies are so funny to me like, you really do just get that high painting the zone and NOTHING ELSE lmao they ain't even bad to have as teammates it's just a really silly consequence of zones being the way it is 🤷

hey at least dropping under top 2k reassures me that this does feel easy as fuck and I HAVE improved... I just wish that didnt mean losing 300 points in a week 😢

Played well in the set vs yoshell+omega pickup and even took a game off, but ended up losing to a team I… don’t like losing to because they’ve felt like a good benchmark for my skill each time I play them. Need to get my aim in check and maybe find an AOE player, it’s been so long since I’ve had one

3 weeks ago I felt like I was on the road to becoming a top level player. Then I moved into my apartment and learned they never set up an internet connection. Now it's been a week since its been fixed and I feel like I will never have a shot of ever making it higher than I am right now

I’m feelin really discouraged. I’m playing better than I ever have but practically no one in plus will interact with me. So I look to X rank to show my skill but I’ve had the worst streak of teammate luck I’ve ever had. I need my motivation to go somewhere, I’m just waiting for an opportunity

Reposting now that my net is back. DM me on discord at fox_spl. I'm highly motivated and REALLY wanna get back in the game asap

Bro I can't hit shit in X, I hate my landlords so much I was so good 2 weeks ago before I was forced to move into an apartment with no net 😭

I'm not great at statements for stuff like this, nor should my voice be the the main one for this discussion today, but I wanted to briefly speak on the tournament situation today. If anything is unclear or needs clarification please let me know in the replies and I will try to clarify.

Might get flamed for this but YES, plus server (especially +2 and +3) has always disproportionally downvoted minorities, especially if youre unapologetic and vocal! Ive seen several posts from this season alone asking why they didnt make it and the answer is its probably NOT game related 🤷‍♀️

putting it out there, plus server culture is also inherently discriminatory to neurodivergent people by expecting others to conform, and the usual flow of conversation not making sense to people who can’t read through the lines OF the lines, then being made fun of for stuff IMPOSSIBLE to understand

Ok Captain Happy is def a better player than me but every time I get matched vs them in X I get the most braindead teammates on the planet like bro at least give me a chance! I need more experience vs pens you can't just shoot for poor awareness

X rank apologized dearly for how it treated me yesterday by giving me 13 more points than the minimum. Thank you X rank I forgive you 🥹

it turned into an 0-8 but im clawing it back. I just wish my luck was a lil better while im getting back on my feet! I'm good at staying motivated but when I dont have a team this is kinda all I've got ;w;

finally got my net back but got 0-3'd in the series. I felt like I played well, I coulda done better of course but the losses werent from rust
