I'm glad GG proved that ink vac is still a massive fraud

I feel like the several sagas of people picking up v96 for a week and then dropping it is the perfect summary of why I particularly despise this meta. The stuff that is good right now is so low effort, simple, yet highly rewarding to the point that it's more interesting to look at how clips go wrong

As much as I dislike the kit system overall, the dev absolutely nailed the two flingza kits. Even if they aren't the best in comp, making the same main weapon feel like each of its attacks are for a different purpose based on which one you use is such a good example of what most kits should be like

Splatoon 3 dares to say "we want a short range meta" without actually asking if having a short range meta is a good thing or not

Waypoint will be playing in the NA League this season, and we're bringing a new friend along for the ride! Please welcome @lunacatnip.bsky.social to our roster, and thank @kuroooishere.bsky.social for this amazing artwork!

I like it when there is movement in my movement shooter. If only there was more of that

The meta right now is if everyone was playing a different version of Painbrush but also if there is a liter playing Duck Hunt in the corner and kept making it everyone elses's problem

IT'S FINALLY TIME. THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED. MERCURY IS NOT IN RETROGRADE. COME WATCH PLEASE.

This was by far the most fun I've ever had playing this game, and hearing "go to your LANs" truly didn't do the experience justice. A huge thank you to @littlepetfrog.bsky.social for hosting the event, my team for being goated, and everyone who attended. See you all in a few months for LCS!

I'd be fine with heavy 210p as the only nerf to that gun if there was a second change where failing to get a wave within a full ink tank causes the user to instantaneously explode

Sword players in S3 evolving to radiate the same energy as the Palutena mains is an event that must be studied in a lab

I think the Cactus montage competition has only reaffirmed my belief that Splatoon players are obsessed with making the world's most cluttered and hard to follow montages out of any competitive game community I've seen for literally no reason

Cblast being in genuine contention for the best weapon in the game may hint at the fact that we are in the funniest possible timeline

I think it's baffling how many issues with Splatoon 3 would be solved instantly with skill-based matchmaking that actually works. It's not like the queue times aren't already several minutes long already

Hollow Knight Pantheon 5's first try ended with me dying 3 bosses away from the end. I am sad

Nintendo saying "yeah rapid pro was accidentally nerfed but we were planning to do that anyway so we'll keep it in the game" is so incredibly funny

Recent events have further solidified my theory that I improve the fastest by being thrown off a cliff and told to fly

Running LUTI speed ladder on Valentine's Day as the first ever not-single elimination format will revolutionize the competitive scene

I would like to thank Nintendo for demonstrating why the S3 maps suck for the 8 billionth time by reintroducing S1 dynamo. Turns out that implementing a weapon made for bigger maps with more alternate angles that loves to throw tsunamis down narrow hallways makes it really good

Why is bucket absolutely massive now? This is like if Nintendo listened to all of the Palutena players who kept saying she was a mid tier and casually doubled the size of all her moves

Unfortunately, after rigorous testing (one game of open), stealth jump is still looking like a mandatory part of all builds

I feel like while everyone gets used to aiming on a smaller squid hitbox we have all regressed to A rank weapon select and are using big hitbox guns because it's easier to hit a circle than a line

Bow mains on their way to clip sequences that don't even end with activating flow aura

Unfortunately due to the adjustments to the Stealth Jump ability in Version 11.0.0, it may take Waypoint (except Wings) up to 20% longer to play with their full roster than initially anticipated. We apologize for the inconvenience.

magyk: have you ever had cookout? me: i mean kinda but i can’t eat much there because i don’t eat meat magyk: oh that’s right it’s because you’re a lesbian (he meant to say vegetarian. i’m fucking crying)

it appears Public Anemone is going by different aliases?

Splatoon needs more weapons designed like stamper but also more weapons designed like vcarbon

I don't know how the devs managed to make 96 an actual affront to game design while being just funny enough to be used. Like, what do you mean this thing only has a 20% chance to paint its own feet?

I think Splatoon should have an option like Cloak and Dagger Spy so I can just observe casual players interact in the wild without having to engage

Wait this is a timer?

A pencil player walks into a bar, waits for 72 frames, and then orders 5 shots

8s is a very serious practice environment

An S-blast player walks into a bar and realizes there is no counter

okay guys i mightve cooked with this one... this is a team photo for @waypointspl.bsky.social! thank you for your support and interest :) [ #edit #splatoon #compsplatoon ]

A bit overdue, but Waypoint placed 19th overall during the NA League, and even managed to earn a few top 8 finishes! Ggs! @tenorbrella.bsky.social: Green Goblin Painbrush @ancientwings.bsky.social: Hates Turf War @nonalune.bsky.social: Hedit enrichment Red: Dead Redemption Hawaiian: Handheld warrior

S-blast is secretly a roller in disguise

I think more frontlines should read records of Napoleon Bonaparte's instructions to his marshals to play Splatoon better

lets take a closer look at the criminals behind Public Anemone.... 🧵 #compsplatoon

NA League week 8 going well so far

Wanted to thank @stormttek.bsky.social for suggesting me to +3 Been working hard in comp and would use this opportunity to push myself further! Repost or any form of support is much appreciated. Love you all <3

@xshadowind.bsky.social suggested me to +2. I am hoping to use this opportunity to get more practice Repost appreciated <3

I've suggested @ancientwings.bsky.social to +3! She is actually goated at the video game and is more than deserving of the title. Go give her upvotes!

waypoint also did pretty good in the week 3 qualifier I think sorry we (tenor) forgot to post @tenorbrella.bsky.social Graphic design savant @nonalune.bsky.social: Drink provider Red: Red Red Red Red Red Red Hawaiian: Wings but stuck in the Pacific Ocean

Waypoint gets top 8 in the 5th S3NAL qualifier! Ggs to everyone, and we'll make sure to try out best in bracket! @tenorbrella.bsky.social: Painbrush bumper @ancientwings.bsky.social: Turning 36 years old @nonalune.bsky.social: Hedit enrichment Red: Sick as hell

Wings was brewing a secret gift for all of waypoint since June. Huge shoutout and thank you to @andro-media.art for working on this wonderful piece! We all love it so much (The linking chain is from @hhaelines.bsky.social that they bought at riptide, also representing the team)

Baked Goodies play in SoS 205 and placed Top 8! GGs to everyone we played. Nep2ne = I R SMART @saypil.bsky.social = the thinker @tenorbrella.bsky.social = Painbrush 0-2 love @spritzuu.bsky.social = too locked in

Although this may simply be an effect of being high on copium, having really close sets against top level teams during S3NAL and almost breaking top 8 twice is really motivating as a player. It's just really validating to see all of the time I poured into this game paying off in visible ways.

It's about time I add another team to the coaching roster (Waypoint is getting too good). I made a Sendou post about it so yeah. It's been a while since I've been around the lower lvl scene so rts and likes appreciated for reaching the target audience :)
