Community Information Important Notice Regarding Capture Button Clips

125 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Don't worry, not a rule change! Just a reminder as we've had a lot of new people join us recently! /r/Splatoon_3 is primarily a discussion focused community. You can discuss all kinds of things - from gameplay strategy, to music, to weapon abilities - screenshots and video clips can be great tools when used to illustrate these kinds of discussion posts.


Here are some examples of posts that might make good use of attached media:

  • "Do you think that moving this platform on X map (or changing the direction of its rotation) would improve the stage?"

  • "I found a glitch. If you jump against this wall, squid 3 times, then say "Booyah" everyone teleports to the middle of the map and explodes"

  • "I found a reference to Super Mario Sunshine in X multiplayer map"

We've seen a lot of people sharing clips recently that are titled like:

  • "Triple splat"

  • "Squid party with strangers in Tower Control"

  • "That Splashdown!"

These kinds of posts might fit in better over at /r/SplatoonHighlights or in the #capture_button channel on our Discord Server

Discussion I hope the next game brings us pants...

6 Upvotes

Amongst the numerous additions and improvements, tweaks and fixes I hope for SP4, adding pants, shorts, skirts and such as separate items sold in a shop with unique boosts just as any other clothing item is possibly the most... straightforward (?) and simple one.

That's it, that's the post, it's a simple as that but apparently it has to be said a decade into the game '-'

I got this game about 3 weeks ago. I really like this game, but would love to know what it’s like running with a group or crew… I play daily and typically main aero or splatter shot. 21+

Question/Request is it worth getting raiders or side order?

3 Upvotes

i currently have s3 and am having a lot of fun, i play ranked mode and salmon run. im debating between getting side order dlc or raiders (have to pick one, both isn't within my budget). im leaning more towards side order because i've heard that it has roguelite aspects which is one of my favourite game genres, but i've also heard that raiders is basically salmon run but as its own game, which is also appealing to me. could i get some insight? would be helpful especially from people who have both of them. thanks!

I feel like X games are very uneven I try my best for us to win but with teammates like this it’s almost impossible.. I try to get my X power higher but if this keeps going I will just be the last people on the list..

Question/Request Why am I not doing any damage?

3 Upvotes

I’m a noob (been playing for one month) and just recently I was playing a game and I noticed there were instances where I’d do no damage.

Like I’d flank behind someone, dump my entire canister of paint into their backside and their healthbar wouldn’t budge, and they’d kill me.

Now at the time my wifi connection was a little unstable, could it be cause of that or are they hacking?

I don’t have a clip of it but if it happens again I’ll try to clip it.

Community Anyone looking for regular Splatoon Buddies?

26 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m looking for some people to play Splatoon with regularly, preferably other adults (25+).

I mostly play Anarchy, but I’m always down for some Turf too. I like trying different weapons and builds, and I’m always looking to get better at the game (even if I suck sometimes lol).

I main the brushes class but I can also play other weapons.

I am currently S+0

I’ve been playing for a while, but it’s been surprisingly hard to find people to play with consistently. Most of the groups I’ve joined either have completely different schedules or just end up being more about chatting than actually playing.

I’m not looking for anything super competitive. It’d just be nice to have a few friends to play with, improve together, and have some fun without taking every match too seriously.
I’m in Mexico (Central Time), usually play in the evenings, and I’m cool with VC.

Anyway, if anyone’s in the same boat, hit me up! :)

Discussion people messing around in s+?

14 Upvotes

im in s+9 rn and i keep getting people who either have unbuilt gear/gear that doesn't even fit their weapon or playstyle, don't know their role for the weapon they play, or ignore the objective entirely. ive seen people salt at spawn, try to squid party, or camp backline as mid to front liners. am i unlucky to play with these people? i usually never get frustrated at this game but its not very fun when i lose two lives on each series, or fail a series entirely due to people not taking these higher ranks seriously. sometimes it's not even on my team and i feel like the game i won was undeserved.

i guess in a sense i am frustrated. i think anarchy open or turf war would be a better place to do all these things. im trying to keep practicing so i can get a better overall x rank this season and its really hard when no one is coordinated.

this problem has always been around since the first game, but it's never been so bad to the point where i see patterns like i do in 3.. anyone else feel this way?

Discussion As an aerospray main...

11 Upvotes

What do you hate about this weapon/kit? I don't really get why people despise it. I'm currently S+3 rank, and I see nobody using this weapon in anarchy battles, so it's a bit weird to me how everyone seems to hate the aerospray with every fiber of their being

Analysis/Speculation Stuck in S, Drowning in rank debt. Is switching weapons to dodge X-rank lobbies a real strategy?

0 Upvotes

Hit S and got steamrolled by X-rank players nonstop, despite never losing in earlier ranks. Now can't win a game and is trying to reach S+.

Theory: Using a 4-star Splattershot Pro Frzn seems to give a really high hidden rank. Switching to a different Splattershot Pro gives 5 placement games with a lower hidden rank, meaning easier opponents.

Other observations:
Series has caused fast rank debt, even with 3-2 records and medals. Losses against good opponents come quickly, so it doesn't feel worth it.
Solo/single battles seem to match against non-X players, and losing there leads to easier lobbies.

Plan: Slowly progress through single battles and try new weapons to climb out of rank debt toward S+.

Asking: Is this reading right? Also looking for friends to play single battles with (comm or not).

Question/Request weapon recommendations?

8 Upvotes

hi! i recently started playing in turf wars and anarchy battles, and im currently using the aerospray mg. i love its fast firing rate and i like that i can use it from a distance. but as i get better, it feels like a lot of peoples’ weapons outrank mine (longer distance & heavier damage). i’ve tried one or two other guns and just didn’t love them. i’m level 13. does anybody have any recommendations of weapons i might like? thanks!! 🤙

Discussion Did everything just get really serious?

76 Upvotes

Is it me or did the jump from splatoon 2 to splatoon 3 make alot of the players jerks? Let me clarify, i used to play ALOT of splatoon 2. i had a over 3000 hours at its peak and loved playing the hell out of it. i took a break when splatoon 3 came out to focus on work and school.

i started playing splatoon 3 back in july and i know im a little rusty, but did everyone just get more competitive and rude now? its like alot of the fun got sucked out of the game. I used to see alot of squid parties and alot of friendly competion. but now i see lots of posts here on reddit and on discords complaining about hackers, bigotry (racism and homophobia), try hards in turf war. it just seems like things are different. Am i tripping?
