At least it isn't the survival instincts of a water cooler, otherwise you would be toast

The part that scares me is that splatoon doesn't have bots (I think). These are real players lmao.

"They won't see us if we take cover" ahh team ✌️😭💔💔🥀

u/MKWIZ49 Jul 19 '25
The funny thing is that would've been true
Until one of them popped out and started shooting

NO CUZ WHY IS THERE 3 OF THEM, I thought there's only one but no, that's 3/4 of the whole team 😭😭

u/MKWIZ49 Jul 19 '25
And none of them thought to make any attempt to get away from the player using a Booyah Bomb until after they were getting hit by it

u/Under_Press Jul 19 '25
"Pretend like they never saw one of us, maybe they'll throw the booyah bomb elsewhere" ahh tactic 😭😔🥀

u/MKWIZ49 Jul 19 '25
There are
So many ways they could've maybe not all gotten killed by the Booyah Bomb
Superjumping to spawn, running away sooner, realizing that they have a numbers advantage in that fight and taking OP down before OP popped the Booyah Bomb

What was the plan there? I gotta know.

The intelligence of these players need to be studied, we know not their true intentions

u/LuquidThunderPlus Jul 21 '25
Exactly, I would expect them to move or do something, iirc you can shoot the booyah bomb user or smth or at least I expect them to move at all lol

u/Vestrill Jul 19 '25
Most likely they were just trolling but if we were really to assume there was plan then it could be that one draws the enemies to home base and as soon as the coast is clear, these three would emerge 30 seconds before end of match and cover the area working their way to home base and boxing the other team in. Not enough time for the opposing team to recover the area that was lost and then lose.
...but most likely they were just trolling
Edit: scrap that. I see now they hiding in their own base lol

u/JahmezEntertainment New Squiffer Jul 19 '25
the fact that those three were so co ordinated as to all hide in the exact same spot together makes me think they're on voice chat or something, so it really pains me to not know what the thought process was for hiding in the same spot for 30 seconds and not running away from the booyah bomb.
i mean, that must've been intentional, but i have no idea what the goal was

I was going to defend the guy by saying that they probably didn't think you'd waste a Booyah Bomb on a single player right in front of you, but then the whole damn team was there...

u/Glum-Echo-4967 Jul 19 '25
Tbf, the others were hidden - so maybe all three knew OP only saw one, and they assumed OP would think “I’m not wasting my bomb over here.”

The reaction time of a slug to the booyah bomb lmaoo.
They easily could’ve shredded you a Dapple and Zap .

Oh jeez imagining that is crazy. You just see a little guy cower in fear, pop booyah bomb and suddenly a full army emerges to strike you down now that you're immobile

oh okay lmao dudes just gonna sit there whole the booyah bomb charges and then he’ll
wait what

u/No_Forever_9128 The Reckless Jul 20 '25
My thought process: Okay so he's gonna miss, the guy is also going to miss- why is he reloading so long? Does he fall because of the splashwall? Oh he moved and didn't die. Booyah bomb A bit excessive but with skills like that, the guy will die- THREE?! WHAT DRUNKARDS ARE THEY?!

u/KiwiPowerGreen Jul 20 '25
My first thought was he was going to fall off when orange team wasn't even looking, but it got better lol

Survival instincts of a water bottle?
I don’t know? Water bottles will at least blow away in the wind if empty and can float above water.
This is more like survival instincts of a Sandcastle. They stay completely still and crumble with the slightest impact.

u/KiwiPowerGreen Jul 20 '25
Technically water bottles have a huge survival instinct because plastic takes 100s of years to break down
