I was stayed up trying to find Norishio in Bracket because I didn’t watch groups much + didn’t see him, only to check twitter notifications and find out he tweeted he lost in groups 😭😭😭

Drip pics from a scrim with Pixel Per Ink! :D Thank you to @meguchy.bsky.social for subbing <3 (Never let me play rapid pro against their rebrella omg) -Vi #compsplatoon #splatoon

WAIT GUYS I FORGOT me and @ethanstone.bsky.social have a server called The Grind specifically for helping Splatubers make better content! you can ping for thumbnail or editing advice/input, put together collabs, just discuss the algorithm, anything! i havent shouted this out in like 2 years oopS

hey yall i have a LOT of experience making youtube videos and shorts engaging for the viewer, and i realize that there are a lot of new #splatubers who could use my experience to make better videos and get their content to a wider audience!

Today is the fourth anniversary of Bidoof's Big Stand, first released on January 11, 2022 on the official Pokémon YouTube channel! A hapless Bidoof must prove that it can do more than use HMs. https://bulbapedia.b...

that interview was so wholesome and cool!! it sucks how hard it is to translate splatoon terms but they made it work for some good questions!! #compsplatoon

We're moving into the bracket segment of SplashGo #12, a turf war only LAN taking place in Japan! Come catch the english cast by @ninewholegrains.bsky.social and @shinyhunterzach.bsky.social here on IPL! #compsplatoon 🟣 twitch.tv/iplsplatoon 🔴 youtube.com/live/sQqffvI...

Another way to think of offmeta is making a bet that your advantage in L2 (opponent unfamiliarity with the matchup) is greater than your L1 deficit (weapon with exploitable weaknesses). That bet pays off less and less as you go higher and higher, unless you can shore up the L1 deficit somehow.

In a nutshell: Layer 0: The Physics Layer 1: The Theory Layer 2: The Matchup Layer 3: The Culture

There is no layer 4 because anything that *would* operate on a theoretical layer 4 just collapses back into layer 3. There's nothing further than operating on the population. Anyway, yep that's the whole model. A lot to get your mind around at first, probably, but I think it helps a lot.

For one, most of the players who do have the influence to operate at layer 3 are actively trying to improve the experience for everyone involved, so while it *is* a distinct layer, I don't think it's often used maliciously because of just how hard that is to pull off.

Layer 3: The MetaMetaMetagame Layer 3 is where you operate on the competitive population as a whole. Content creators shape the meta by amplifying or showcasing strategies, TOs by standardizing rule sets or which maps are banned. It's much harder to operate at this level for many reasons.

That's a strong claim, really it's also where offmeta thrives. The metameta is where you exploit known weaknesses of the specific player or team you're facing. You're no longer relying on just game knowledge but on specific knowledge of who you're facing to maximize your chance of winning.

Layer 2: The MetaMetagame Layer 2 is where you operate not just on players in the abstract, but *this specific player*. This is where offmeta goes to die, as offmeta weapons are much more likely to have their weaknesses exploited as higher skilled teams win at weapon/map select.

The meta is constantly evolving as strategies are refined/explored and in reaction to developer intervention. It's players optimizing in the abstract space of possibilities: what weapons allow you to maximize exploiting opponent weaknesses while minimizing exposed weaknesses?

Layer 1: The Metagame I hate "Most Effective Tactics Available" because, while technically true, it's extremely limiting. No, my definition of the metagame is what strategies emerge as a consequence of Layer 0. Why are certain weapons more effective towards the objective than others?

That‘s a wrap for this week‘s Milkcup! Here‘s our podium: Chocolate: 🥇 Upcomers 🥈 Soyjak Squidz 🥉Los de a peso Strawberry: 🥇 Daybreak 🥈 HAYATE! 🥉 Tacticooler tactical Task Force Bananana: 🥇 Crankin’ 28s 🥈 Crystal Clovers 🥉 Yes, We're Hot See you next week for Teacup 24! ✨ #compsplatoon

Okay I'm gonna write what my thesis on what "the meta" really means in this thread and hopefully this model can help look at strategy a little differently. It operates on 4 layers. Layer 0: The Game. This is what you're allowed to do, the code. It's the rules you cannot break, physical reality.

1. Lobster 222 2. Momo 142 3. Riukun 123 4. kou 113 5. Shuman 112 6. Todo 111 7. Hitokuchi 99 8. Rusu 98 9. Yocchan 92 10. Rivten 91 11. Samurai Kasato 87 12. Millecrepe 86 13. Neespa 85 14. Wolbo 85 15. Grandroll 84 16. Kurokuro 80 17. Wasabeef 73 18. Rubytan 68 19. Norishio 56 20. Utan 56

With four tournaments left in the Race to Crown, Momo is close to securing his spot, but the remaining tickets are still wide open. Riukun has been eliminated in the qualifiers in the last two events, and Todo currently sits in 6th. Who do you think will be the players to qualify? #compsplatoon

Fun video idea I unfortunately probably cant take advantage of is explaining splatoon to other shooter games as a series. For example a video comparing splatoon to valorant and how to be able to make a switch and enjoy it. I have a lot of ideas for this so dm me if u want more #compsplatoon

How to…. stalk in Splatoon 3??? #compsplatoon #splatoon youtube.com/shorts/Y2dN1...

Quick question: Do you think there’d be interest in something like a “Learn Japanese through Splatoon” series? Not sure if I’ll actually do it, but it sounds interesting to me.

GGs @sawyerspl.bsky.social

I made a tier list (Zones only) based on AREA CUP results in version 10.1.0. Weapons with consistent results, strong impact, and top placements by multiple players are placed in higher tiers. Tiers up to A are ordered. D tier consists of weapons I’ve never seen used. Opinions welcome. #compsplatoon

I want to elaborate on this more in a video, but in addition to this I think both bow, red dapple, and vac 96 all perfectly cover each others unique flaws. Its a really interesting trio to me because all of them feel hard to run in a good comp otherwise.

Bow + 96 Analysis: Yesterday’s AREA CUP win was another victory for the Bow comp, making it a back-to-back win. However, I believe that 96 is the key piece that makes this composition so powerful, and the backline is essentially irreplaceable except for Bow. ↓ Continue in the thread #compsplatoon

How should creators in the Splatoon scene collaborate more, I feel thats something that can be improved on in terms of the YouTuber creator space, every other shooter has so many collaborations for click bait or just combining fan bases. I'd greatly appreciate hearing other opinions

Fact.

Two nights in a row of zones only scrims that play every map in the game over 3 hours, nature is healing

We’re so Back Chat

Vdapple the real winner

watching 🍍 stream of area cup and all of a sudden NA players

IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! 10/10 best comp in the game

MEGU IS ALSO HERE!!!! Not an active player but an amazing cheerleader and the one responsible for our beautiful, gorgeous, amazing logo!! She also loves yuri!!!! WE LOVE YURI!!!!

Quote RT your improvement! 2020 vs 2025 (I don't have a consistent character)

No seriously how the fuck did we lose I wiped out the team SEVERAL times for my team to push w/ the RM, no one picks it up and instead they respawn w/ Cooler. Splatoon truly is a single player game

it gives him more options even as a panic special cuz he can actually fight back and it makes our retake a lot easier booyah is cool and all but crab is crab, good into longer range weapons, better for retake, and he's getting better at side/flank-crab so it covers the booyah use case too

Last but not least! I'm Vi! (Pronounced like "Violet") I'm the sword fighter here and the writer of these posts, I primarily pull out my sticker stamper to sticker bomb opponents with finishing combos and smoke them out with booyah bombs! Maybe now you have a better idea on what a "Neowave" is! Yay!

Next, next up! Hyperfresh! The name says it all, especially when describing the tacticoolers that help the team fight off the sweltering Splatlands heat! (and the other team, them too, yes) Hyperfresh is our splatlings specialist, busting out the big guns to bully the opposition!

Next up, Soy! Our shot support, who contrary to the role drops 20 bomb after 20 bomb after- AHEM! When Soy isn't busy carrying us he's probably posting brainrot, or coming up with neat ideas, like team intros!

Refa! With our recent rebrand they've taken up the role of captain, with their trusty dread wringer they deal out damage for combos and mop up our opponent's!
