People are always trying to create resources to meet a need 100% instead of using resources that are 80% of the way there. So those new things are haphazard, and only get 85% of the job done, so there's a lot of excitement, for like 2 weeks. Use the resources we have. Stop decentralizing.

Reposting this old one back from twitter

@herooftrains.bsky.social "See I heard 'Vampirestar' and I was like, someone really named their Warriors OC that?" @basaltspl.bsky.social "Train ALWAYS has Warrior Cats on the mind." @herooftrains.bsky.social "In THIS SERVER?!?!? Can you blame me???"

Can this be a rule in western tournaments

im sorry but this noir dedede render is giving blue prochara

Sometimes @basaltspl.bsky.social takes things a little TOO seriously

@expiredmilky.bsky.social: "Sometimes you have to remember you're the support weapon." @basaltspl.bsky.social: "I HATE playing support. My teammates should be able to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and stop relying on government handouts."

Basalt: I can shot call let me shot call! What happens when Basalt shot calls: #compsplatoon

+2 voting was actually so cooked, why are people that are beating top teams, that have superjump alpha consistently, that are farming every single weekly know to man and the NA league, and that are on FREEFLOW being kept out

the thing about the biannual “the splatoon community should move to squidboards!” rallying cry is that i think it needs to be both a very intentional migration on the community’s part and something site staff has to be involved in

REQUESTING ALL GAS!!! 🔥🔥🔥 My team has been working on a Coach Training Program, and now we need to hear from YOU! 🫵 To gauge community interest in coaching and to help us know what kind of program people want to see, we made this short, 5 minute interest form! forms.gle/CUW5qC2FDZYA...

Being a real community is incompatible with this "actually you don't owe anyone anything" mindset that is so trendy these days. Sure, you don't have to play with anyone you don't want! You have that choice! But that choice directly contributes to stagnation in the scene.

The NEW Way to Name Splatoon Roles..? INKWAVE has REDEFINED the way Splatoon players sort their Roles Theyve made a system called Range x Role, which covers BOTH the Weapon's strengths and the player's playstyle I cover it in this 🧵below! #PinkPuffyPerceptions #compsplatoon

the point of this post is to very strongly correct what I perceive to be a very poor evaluation of how important it is to live and how many ways there are to live when taking fights and whatnot

the lion does not concern himself with the flank that just killed 2

splatoon is SO lucky i have an amazing group of friends to play it with because otherwise i doubt i'd be putting as nearly as much time into it rn

Koma: Guys, Weyx is struggling- Weyx: The lion does not CONCERN HIMSELF with OBJECTIVE LINES in VOD REVIEW.

Do any Low Ink alpha bracket teams / low mid-level teams have any replay codes from scrims/tournament sets? My team wants to look over some gameplay from peeps in that level Bonus points if the matches have a dread, vroller, or dapple/vwiper in them, but we aren’t picky 🙇🏿🙏🏿 #compsplatoon

These are the GOATS!! Very cool people!

THAT’S OOMFIE!!! @remythetoasterrat.bsky.social

I didn’t forget! Mesopelagic played in Setting Sail #4 this past Sunday and got gold bracket (r1 elim 😞) (We totally didn’t photoshop Liss in here nope!) GGs to everyone we faced!

Played my first week of #S3NAL today and got 23rd… regardless of how scuffed matchmaking was I’m honestly really proud of my gameplay and I think I’m close to making a huge breakthrough. Played against a lot of really good teams and I feel like I’ve got a lot of material to review #compsplatoon

Another Splatoon Stronghold meme session

@expiredmilky.bsky.social hi

Just wanna say I'm all for rehabilitation. Imo Zero is doing really well by returning to the scene and giving back to it via the liquipedia work he's doing. I also personally think Q is mostly okay because she waited past her ban. I'm just against Jared because of him inviting madness back early.

Time for the next edition of Setting Sail! Setting Sail #4 will be on Sunday October 26th @ 10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CET! Setting Sail is aimed towards novice-level players and teams to get practice! If you don't have a team, we also offer a drafting service! sendou.ink/to/2648 #compsplatoon

i’m so at war with the x rank debate. as someone who plays an unconventional backline i have several issues with x rank. but before i get into those i want to say that x and solo in general are a great way to improve at the game, should you have the time to grind them

what this chart says: people who are likely to be good at the game in tournaments are more likely to be good at solo queue spl community: omg bigger number better div

Psa for #s3nal There is going to be a LOT of new players, people who have never touched sendou or know about the wider scene TREAT THEM NICELY PLEASE - don't get audibly mad if a team picks urchin turf g1, or doesn't get in the lobby fast enough, etc - a lot of these groups (1/2)

I think the only thing I didn’t like is how normalized DLC has become. I remember buying full games as a kid and not having to pay an additional 30% for content. DK Bananza being $20, the inconsistency when it comes Switch 2 editions. I can only imagine how much Mario Wonder will be.

it always feels like we're being forced to throw a dinner party for the worst people on earth, and we have to shut up and smile and be gracious, no complaints, while the worst people on earth are our honored guests and we best not embarrass ourselves in front of them no matter what they do to us

sorry but i don't have sympathy for individuals who have historically wanted me and the people i love most dead

related to current events: its rlly sad how inkademy has somehow become such a right-wing cesspool how are u gonna be a splatoon player and proceed to be bigoted. make it make sense 😭

Reap what you sow.

hot take for the comp splatoon scene: tie your goals to improving, not winning. the game feels miserable when winning is all that matters 😭 basically, you have to enjoy the process if you want to be able to push yourself further when it really matters. (1/2)

Do you want to start your competitive splatoon journey, but don't know where to start? Are you interested in the #s3nal but unsure of where to look first to find teammates? Do you feel lost in the sauce? Well, do I have the guide for you! (Engagement appreciated!) docs.google.com/document/d/1...

@expiredmilky.bsky.social you know what to do

I've been wanting to have more data/stats to work with for analysing, so as part of that, I'm developing a heatmap tool. This is a heatmap of Reimaru's positioning in the SWS match against FreeFlow, with added labels for context. #compsplatoon

Moonlight will be participating in the Splatoon 3 North American League #LIGHTUP 🌙✨

THAT’S OOMF!!! @cyima.bsky.social

A skilled Tenta Brella specialist through and through, it’s @cyima.bsky.social! Though their weapon pool is small, they’re quite the force to be reckoned with. When they’re defending us with the Tent shield, we’re able to go the extra mile.

Competitive mode we play in tournaments

i already said this in a reply i made on twt but ill say it here for the bsky folks: nonmen wanting safe spaces due to past and current oppression does not equal discrimination

And before you go saying that splat safety needs a staff overhaul or calling for them to be disbanded, really think about what that means. Would you be the one to do the overhaul? Would you form a new, more capable safety org? Can you reasonably expect anyone else to?

I’m so tired, idk… , I can’t believe my tl is more riled up about whether splat safety should or shouldn’t exist over whether someone who was splat safety banned for a year for genocide jokes should be able to waltz back in because he made a twitter post first
