What do we think?

People cite individual anecdotes for marker getting kills to defend it
the fact the debate exists at all tells you all you need to know about marker
imagine if you needed to debate whether a bomb gets kills consistently or not

>>712321401
I'm never going to get a vanilla splatcharger with splatbombs but a non-vacuum special am I?

>>712321401
All of the weapons I use have good kits so I'm really happy

>>712321520
I mean it just got a kit and it's not gonna get another kit even if we somehow get sheldon's picks

so yeah not in this game lol

>>712321401
>people waited this long for another round of "throw darts on a board to decide the kit"

>>712321798
most of these kits are good tho

>>712321401
The new tacticooler weapons are a bit disappointing

So this game was definitely just a DLC for 3 that got panic-repackaged to pad out the Switch 2 library, right?

>>712321401
less than 10 people in /v/ play splatoon 3
they just uses these threads for imagespam

>>>/vg/ for real discussions

>>712321479
angle shooter has been completely useless dogshit since day 1. its fucking insane that retards are still trying to cope and defend it in fucking 2025

>>712321954
Mario Kart World started as a new game on Switch but they literally could not get it to run better than 30 fps.

I assume this was going to be a DLC for Splat 3 but any type of Splat level that's larger than a little playground is going to cause the framerate to tank. If this is actually a somewhat "open world" Splatoon game, it needed the new system to be able to run decently. You see how Switch 1 tanks with the plaza and things like that. They're squeezing every ounce of power out of the thing which limits the scopes of what you can do with a splatoon game.

>>712321954
The devs probably kept adding content and it ended up as its own standalone game. Sort of like the dying light expansion the beast was to dying light 2.

>>712321954
I really doubt it, by the time Splatoon 3 and its DLC came out the Switch 2 was in full development. They most likely decided to make a spinoff so that Splatoon 3 could keep getting supported and to test things out for Splatoon 4.

>The made Frye's outfit even more lewd

>>712321401
The .96 is cursed to always have something shit in its kits.

>>712321401
>rainbow bow
based nintendo

>>712322197
Yeah but for the spinoff to be so heavily derived from Splat 3's characters is a little bit suspicious especially when they're not the most popular in the series by a long shot.

Tears of the Kingdom started out as DLC for BotW until it outgrew the scope of DLC, this might be something similar. It's not a longshot to say this was a scrapped DLC content for Splat 3 when it's sharing characters and art style from Splat 3.

It's incredible how much better the brown octopus girl was than this fivehead girl.

>>712321954
most likely
it doesn't look any different than switch games
mario kart world also started off as a switch title
they really made a huge blunder releasing totk and splat 3 so early

>>712322335
oh yeah, forgot totk as well
started out as dlc, sold as a $70 game
just nu-nintendo things

>>712321401
Emberz got the best kits

>>712320973 (OP)
Thank god for Nintendo's character designer

>booyah reflux
TimmyGODS won

>>712322523
I mean it's certainly a full fledged game that's differentiated from BotW by quite a bit. If you were to add all of the newer/changed content to Botw as a DLC it would be what, at least $50 worth of new content? When compared to other DLC packages we get. There's enough new content and mechanics to warrant it being its own game

>>712322621
why aren't you booyahing back? don't be toxic

>>712322734
Iwantyoo!

>>712321401
They gave up on Ink Vac

>>712322838
you didn't booyah fast enough and now i died before i could get my bomb off!
grrrrrrr that's it im throwing the match. i will stay in spawn and spam booyah so you all learn your lesson
booyah back or i throw

Still waiting for splat4 before buying Switch 2

>>712322891
>not a single new inkvac kit
fucking kek

>>712322396
You lost, people love Frye now.

>>712322994
Frye's gotten more popular over time sure, but to say she's on the same level Marina? Naaahhh

Assuming this is a craft survival housing game... what do woomie farm for survival? Seaweed? Turnips?

>>712323087
apparently there will be fishing
what kind of fish will shiver catch and eat?
not salmon I hope

>>712322538
>leopard print .96

gnarly

>>712323146
I hope its regular fishes and they just turn into squid form to eat it alive fresh out of the water

I'm happy for the Anons that really care for Splatoon as a series, I just wanted to say that I've never touched a Splatoon game in my entire life however I'm still pretty happy about the announcement because for some fucking reason Splatoon porn is absolutely god tier stuff
That's the post, have a good one

Do you guys think this game is coming out next year? Weird there was no release window even.

Between Kirby Air Riders, Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4, new Hyrule Warriors, etc they've got a new biggish title releasing every month except November. People expect a big holiday title is waiting to be revealed but I doubt this one fits the bill. Probably early next year I would guess for Splat Raiders

where are the patch notes though?

I'm gonna miss Marina.

>>712323326
enjoy your goon material anon, there's some quality art for sure
The games are really fun though and you should try it sometime

>>712323421
Same, never played Splatoon, just enjoying the art.
>>712323446
Didn't they give her a brand new (and lewd) outfit a while after 3 came out?

>>712323421
Raiders already has Pegi and ESRB ratings. The game is much closer than it seems.

>>712323591
Yeah but her time is over, it's Deep Cut's time now.

>>712323597
So that means it's possibly a few months off then maybe? That's exciting
Hoping we'll get a june direct because we need a release date for Metroid Prime 4, and DK bananza we hardly have any info on as well and that drops next month. Maybe they'll show more on Splat Raiders if we get a direct soon. Otherwise I guess they'll just be doing twitterdrops

>>712321954
whatever helps you go through the night without acking yourself sister

>>712323597
typically sounds like the kind of game that'd get a short reveal to release period, it's not like zelda or 3D mario where you reveal the game a year in advance to build up hype

>>712321401
>Kraken Octobrush
This is real, right? You're not playing with my heart, right?

>>712321401
At this point why do kits even exist? Just let people pick whatever weapon with whatever secondary and special they want.

...just please don't make it 70 euros

>>712327049
okay we'll make it 80 euros instead!

I might not be able to mock FlopChara with Dread getting Crab, but
>S-Blast NERFED
>Crab TURBO NERFED

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>712326178
It's real, definitely using it for my ninja fit since it's thematically apropriate.

>>712327778
Te amo Bodoque <3

another overpriced dlc yippie!!

>>712327778
I hate prosharta as well but the crab nerf isn't that big of a deal, it can still disintegrate niggers all across the map with the rapid fire + burst combo

>>712328037
Yeah but FrogChara is an autist when it comes to “this shit combos with that shit”, and now he was negated of them before he could enjoy them.

And also now the always-there-Booya-Bomb can cuck Crab

>Splatoon Aids
they're making a spinoff based on Clam Blitz?

>>712322891
vac is underrated

What is this? How did I miss this? What is happening???

>>712322891
I feel like removing the charginng part of the ink vac and just making it suck for the full duration until you can attack with it would be alot better.

>>712328884
A splatoon spinoff!

holy KINO, shiver and frye looking extra hot and sweaty as well

You're not supposed to eat the wrench, you silly squid.

I'm looking forward to the Splat3 visual upgrade. Jumping in after playing Mario Kart is like getting flashbanged.

>>712323421
>they've got a new biggish title releasing every month except November. P
OG Switch also skipped some months. Nintendo isn't gonna release too many heavy hitters in 1 year, they wanna space things out and keep momentum

>>712330569
>botw
>splat2
>odyssey
>xeno2
>all in 2017
2017 sure was a strong year.

We'll get a Direct soon where we will actually get a release date and some explanation of what kind of gameplay / genre the game even has, right?

>>712331734
Not guaranteed.

>>712331734
They have to market Donkey Kong at mininum and there's tons of third party announcements coming. A direct is more than likely in my opinion.
I've seen a lot of people say "it doesn't make sense" but it's the launch year for a new console, lots of stuff has to be marketed and need trailers

>>712323421
Frye's va hinted at this summer.

>>712320973 (OP)
Do we actually know what kind of game this is yet? If it's a single player campaign like the Octo expansion that would be ludo.

whatever you say man

>>712331734
yes

end of june/beginning of july is my guess

>>712334849
A Rogue lite?

>>712334735
>Do we actually know what kind of game this is yet?
no

from what little we've seen and was said it's probably an exploration based game where you hunt for treasures, the big rickety base where deep cut are located has a giant crane that reminds me a lot of tww, probably to get treasures buried under the sea

also your robot companion looks a lot like a bathyscaphe so underwater exploration is pretty much a given

Chargerfags won.

English version of the patch notes.

>>712344245
TRUE coordinated play is exactly the same as playing with randoms and what the game should be balanced around exclusively.

>>712344414
Interesting news. Now winning in Ranked Open gives you 20 points instead of just 8. And same 2.5x multiplier applies if you lose

>>712335987
from the picture I can tell you it's going to be a strand game

it's some shit straight out of a tournament arc in a manga

I assume the lack of comment on the others means I'm factually correct.

>>712346137

Not my job, you have to back up your claims with evidence in the first place. Pro players in every game are notoriously behind on the meta btw.

Do people actually rank 1's single player high? It kind of sucked. I'd almost be inclined to put 2's above it.

>>712347449
ohhh
yeah that makes sense

>>712347504
first time ever being exposed to the comp side of the game? Japan exclusively plays SZ since the franchise started

>>712347790
And you still try to peddle the narrative that competitive players are playing SPLATOON when they're only playing SPLAT ZONES

>>712347610
You're a weird one.

>>712347852
what do mean by narrative? It is a fact that japs only play SZ even though official tourneys and the western side (that is slowly dying because the game sucks) play all modes

I only care about the single player stuff in these games so a spinoff is very appealing to me.

Was never really able to get into the multiplayer side despite trying on many occasions. I guess I’m just not that competitive

>>712347634
the first campaign was fun as a novelty back then but compared to the rest of the franchise it's only better than 2's

>>712347634
It's way better than 2's, no idea what you're talking about.
Side Order is ass.

>>712342786
>Salmon Run
>2 > 3
Not sure if bait or retarded.

Now that the ink has settled...
Are we ready to admit the Side Order DLC was dogshit?

>>712353009
no

>>712353009
yes

>>712353009
maybe

>>712353009
It's rogueshite. Not sure what you were expecting.

>>712353009
It's light on content, yeah, but what was there I enjoyed very much.
So no.

>>712353009
I liked it and got my money's worth but it was no where near the hype of octo expansion
actually it's the least hype of any story mode, the lack of story in the mode really hurts it for me which is a shame but the gameplay is great, at least for finishing a run on each weapon palette

>>712353009
No, I think it was good, but not great. It could have been great if it had like 3 times the content. As it is right now there's too little variance.

>>712337858
Imagine telling someone from three years ago that she'd star in the first spinoff ans not any of the other two idol groups.

i dont want to be a splattershot main but god damn that thing lookin juicy but its so fuckin vanilla

Ok ok. Everyone with a sane mind agrees that Splat3's SR > Splat2's SR
But what would you like to see to make Splat4's SR > Splat3's SR?

>>712354973

>>712356635
I think Octo Expansion is worth 35 bucks, yeah. $40 would be pushing it, but 30/35 is reasonable.

>>712356635
It's a ten hour game. I really wish they sold it separately like Torna.

>>712353009
I liked it, but if they really expected you to play it endlessly it really needed more variables to change things up. Also the first playthrough should've felt a little more substantial.

>>712353009
The base gameplay and concept was really fun, but it had way too little content. It needed more enemies, stages and objectives. It would have been far better as a fully realized spinoff instead of as rushed DLC. I still enjoyed it though.
Smollusk was hilarious.

>>712321954
it already had DLC called side order, this is something new

>>712359345
a game can have multiple DLC expansions.
I don't think Raiders started out as such, if it involved heavy salvaging/scavenging and weapon/tool creation that's likely outside the scope of what splat3 design limits allows.
Plus the larger more exploratory zones.

>>712359559
they're just reusing assets to speed up development, of course the retarded shitposters here will translate that as
>le dlc 90 dollars for a switch 1 dlc tendies will buy everything!!!

>>712321954
I think Nintendo just makes content for existing games and if it gets too big they release it standalone.

>>712353009
It was good the problem is how winning the first run feels so much harder than the rest because the bonus you buy just break the game way too soon

>>712365893
They might give a few free Sheldon Tickets just due to the sheer number of weapons dropping all at once.

>>712365893
they'll likely give 5-10 tickets for free.
They did it almost every weapon drop before.

i wanted splash wall and booyah bomb or inkstrike

>splatlands collection comes with urchin underpass stage
>sheldon's picks comes with saltspray rig stage
trust the plan saltspray riggers

>>712368563
Wall/Rain for me.
Heavy is a really strong main weapon so I like the specials that let you go back to instantly using it again. Wave did that already but was just too weak overall.

>>712368789
Sadly, they will bring back The Reef instead :/

>>712368993
i kinda wanted something to go toe to toe with chargers, i guess rain would help to flush them out.

>>712368563
you aint getting heavy splatling with booyah because hydra has it.
could get inkstrike though.
or trizooka.

>>712368789
is this all we do now? jerk off salt spray rig?

>>712369125

I hope that fellow Tri Stringer CHAD in the threads last night is happy

I myself can't wait to finally bully bitches at close range, finally learn the art of corner kills with angle shooter, and then rain napalm off on the ricepickers from my jetpack
Now give me a Rambo outfit so I can really become the ultimate cephaloid hunter

<no new Heavy or Squiffer kits
Well fuck me I guess

>>712320973 (OP)
>more deep cut
NEXT BAND, preferably one that doesnt suck.

is the update up?

>>712371027
should be 2.5 hours left.

>>712370910
believe in sheldon and his choosen gifts anon!

>>712370918
You lost.
Get gaped.

>>712371183
we all lost, we have to continue looking at frye's massive beach ball seven head and big man doesnt exist along with deep cut's singular ok song.

>>712369080
Even better

>>712370918
Better than shilling off the hook again

>>712328812
Vac just needs to use fraction/ or all of the ink it's sucking to generate armor after being fully charged to stand there calmy and pick targets
instead we wave to avoid full charge and then hide till our shots are almost half full to launch a flaccid shot and hope it'll hit anything

If a special's maximum output and efficiency rely on avoiding everything that brings it to its most powerful point then its a poorly designed special only suitably for niche situations an the huddle up modes like CB, RM and especially TC

Saltspray Rig was a fucking garbage stage and I have no idea why you niggers suck it off so much

>>712370463
I am, now I’m just farming gear for it.

>>712371521
>i have shit taste and suck cat dicks
Yes yes.
That's nice anon.
But no one asked for your dumb blog.
Also leave Judd the fuck alone.

what a weird guy, average deep cuck fan.

>>712373481
Play salmon run for chunks

What does /v/ think of the Wave Breaker after all this time?

>>712374361
i enjoy it for how well it amplifies chaotic situations and how easy it is to just toss behind a wall and get value out of but it rarely feels impactful.

LET ME UPDATE

>>712374361
It exists.

>>712374361
its dogshit until it catches me off guard every so often
then its bullshit

>>712374361
I like using it in Tower Control and Splat Zones.

>>712374361
Has a good amount of use cases and can catch people off guard.
location tracking is always strong.

>>712374023
>retard has this link known annd saved
My point exactly made.
You disgusting cretin.

>>712374681
Mhmmmm.
No.
Not till DINNER

>>712371521
cope

>>712374361
Devs fucked up making this breakbable, while the tacticooler, that was billed on purposeful placement at the expense of your team is invincible

Devs need to jack up its health exponentially and jack up Object Shredder while their add it too

>Raiders is Switch 2 exclusive
Wish they showed off more of it, what do you think the gameplay is going to be?

>>712376674
not quite open world but something sort of like bowser's fury but with survival elements

>>712376579
>give wave breaker more hp...but also increase object shredder boost so it doesn't matter.
brilliant change.
And nah. I like killin it in one shot with my splatanas tyvm.
Go farm more ink wavebitch.

I'm guessing the update is at 8:30pm ET like the good ol days?

>>712376809
Roughly my expectations as well.
A good sized map, with themed zones where you need to find scrap and trash to expand your tool kit while finding cool relics.

>>712376830
>increase object shredder boost so it doesn't matter
it won't matter though brainlet
at higher and higher levels of play the only shoe main ability anyone will ever wear is stealth jump and occasionally drop roller for inklet mains

Object shredder needs a buff, but jacking up a mid tier special's HP isn't going to force everyone to drop Stealth Jump and especially not tryhard compfags

>>712376674
I expect it to be "open zone" like sonic frontiers or pokemon legends arceus you traverse each of the areas(they'll probably be islands) fighting enemies searching for loot and upgrades for your base, weapons and mech ally, there's a boss in each island you have to fight to get an special object that moves the story along, perhaps parts of the helicopter that you'll rebuild, reminder we are playing as "the mechanic"
5 of these main open zones, they could make it so it's either linear or you can tackle them in any order going to whichever zone whenever and when you've gotten all the helicopter parts you head to the center of that tornado in the center of the spiralite islands again making it through with your new and improved helicopter to fight the final boss(es)
this is what I think the game will end up being

>>712378464
>For those NOT in the USA
>lists several USA cities
Interdesting.
Veri interdesting.
Mhmmmm.

reminder that the splatoon team as of splatoon 3 is new developers entirely with only the producers and directors being veterans of the series, meaning this spinoff is likely being made by that team since they don't have to do animal crossing.

>>712378636
literally half the list is the US lmao

Game better have squid romancing options

>>712378649
>new PVP stuff in the new updates
>no new salmon stuff
does this mean the salmon run guys on the team are going all in on raiders? bodes well for it if so

>>712379190
I wonder who we'll be fighting on this Island? It better not be more Octolings. I don't care how tanned Nintendo could make them, we need new Baddies!

>>712379190
is the PvP shit made by different people than Salmon Run?
Was not aware if true.

>>712379190
That’s the hopium I’ve been on ever since the Salmon Run updates slowed to a crawl. If they actually let the SR team off the leash to go wild with Raiders, we might finally get enemy variety and proper raid mechanics. Imagine a co-op boss fight that isn’t just “shoot the big thing until it falls over.” Let me fight some techno-crustacean kaiju with actual mechanics, dammit.

>>712380029
it's just an assumption but it makes sense for different people to be working on PVP and PVE

>>712379992
I don't know why you are worried on that after Side Order.
It had good enemy designs to it.
They'll likely be crab/lobster based though.

>>712380029
Given the fact the newer SR stages in Splatoon 3 and the Big Run variants of normal stages are better designed than the normal stages themselves, there's probably different teams.

Worth noting there were unused placeholders for additional Salmonids and kings in Splatoon 3 that never got used like Wheel and Ghost. Maybe they'll get repurposed into new enemies for Raiders.

>>712377083
Looks like nopan from this angle.
>>712376487
Frye is made of fun and sex

>>712380582

>>712375516
I typed cat pervert into google and clicked the second link because the first like was your post

>>712381983
I want a Splatoon RPG spinoff with the idols as party members.

where the FUCK are the boy idols

>>712320973 (OP)
Asset flip

>>712357093
I actually just checked again and I have 18 hell yeah I was just a dumbass and only read
>You have: 0
last time I looked but that refers to shell-out tokens not the sheldon licenses

>>712382482
Big Man is as close as you're going to get. The franchise already has the problem of Off the Hook being exponentially more popular than the other ones and thus Deep Cut and subsequent groups having a hard act to follow. Hell look at the last splatfest, 57% of the votes compared to Squid Sisters 25% and Deep Cut's 18%.
With how much of a merch machine Splatoon is on top of being one of Nintendo's best selling franchises ain't no way they're gonna kneecap it with boy idols.

>>712383005
I feel like them getting a spinoff game will help deep cut.

>>712320973 (OP)
I'd raid their womb if you know what I mean

downloading the update rn

>>712384435
Emberz is tacky like that, Barazushi is rusty hobo aesthetic.

>>712384435
Why are you a faggot?
Emberz has been tacky hipster shit since day1.
Has nothing to do with gashcunts.

>>712320973 (OP)
I want male idols.

>>712374361
It’s a good passive special. I liked it on the dual squelchers at launch.
Did they ever give dual squelch a booyah bomb? I haven’t played since 2022.

>>712384435
How does LGBT affect you in-game?

>>712384960
It makes anon too horny to focus

>>712384639
Is that a candy bar glued to a sword? Why?

>>712384790
Dualie Sqluech has Wave breaker and Super Chumps.
Glooga is the booyah dualie.
Most specials only appear once per weapon type.
So I'm not really sure why dapple alt has reef slider when that was already taken. Kinda fucked special division on dualies

hope we can get one king wave

Maintenance in an hour, does that mean we won't get the weapons until the rotation change an hour after that?

>>712385312
yes

>>712356816
aint nobody rushin me down
thats the whole point of the weapon
calculated bombardment

anyway is this update tonight(3.5 hours) or tomorrow? i forgot how it went with splat shit.

>>712386621
less than 2 hrs to redeem saar.
do the needful and be of the waiting.
Thank you muchly!

>>712385312
>>712385647
I thought the update came out on the 12th
its the 11th

it's the 12th though

>>712386768

and get a month of nintendo membership

FUCK I'm banned I guess I'll stop here ggs

>>712384751
>>712384639
Yeah let's pretend they specifically didn't choose those designs for this month
Emberz' design is just conveniently like this isn't it? That or "it's fine because Nintendo"

Matchmaking blows been getting steamrolled all day

>>712387387
>FUCK I'm banned

Raider is unknown atm.
Likely soon as ESRB has it rated though.
August or september maybe.

>>712387505
Yes.
Emberz is hipster shit.
It always fucking has.
Look at the upcycled top or whatever.
You are tilting at windmills lad.
Meanwhile barazuchi is junker scrap shit because that's their aesthetic. Desert survival shit.

sorry salmon crew for leaving like that

I wonder if they will give out 10th anniversary banners

we might get kicked out mid shift

does laphi still play this game

I feel like the weapons are gonna be available as soon as the update downloads there's no reason to arbitrarily lock them for an hour

why are all these switch 2 updates so retardedly big, the botw 10 dollar switch 2 upgrade was just a 60fps uncap patch and its hoarding 10gigs for some reason

>>712390428
because it's essentially upgrading the game from 720p to 4K

>>712390428
probably downloads assets

Real talk how does Nintendo get away with this

The squids being sexy and colourful makes me really nostalgic for Ape Escape.
Man. Fuck modern Playstation. I genuinely thought they would have been the ones to make something like Splatoon. But Nintendo did it instead. Well. I'm all in. So I'm cool with it. But I'm still shocked this is how things turned out.

any tips on squelcher

>stuck at 88%
please

i got a new badge instantly

>>712392331
But anon!
You have funkobot escape! Aren't you happy?!
It's so fucking sad. Holy shit. Did that trash even reference Dark Cloud at least? I genuinely don't recall.

>>712392639
run some main saver because it's ink hungry
keep your distance and use the full extent of your range
then charge in when you get your splashdown.
Hit, make distance, hit. Don't try and fight like you're a splattershot

Has the update landed yet?

If not, then what time?

Damn, just a few 5 Stars.

Also, what does the last column mean? I can’t switch languages so I don’t know what’s called in English

>>712392983
It did! Go play!

>>712392983
If you have a Switch 1 you should be able to download it relatively easy.
Switch 2 stuck downloading a fat asset pack for the HD update, servers are fucked. They're also under mainteance until rotation change in about 15 minutes so that's when you can use the new weapons

>>712393352
This is Japan's fault.

Actually, getting to 10 stars is going to be an endless chore if this as far as I get as a Day 1 player. I’m just going to ignore 10 stars is a thing.

3mins to hear sheldon speak at the counter

>>712393585

HOLY FUCK THAT'S SMOOTH

>>712393891
you have to play 1 match, sis

>>712393352
I'm done pretending otherwise. Clams is the best game mode.
How typical for it to also be the least popular.

HOLY SHIT IT'S SO SMOOTH

HURRY THE FUCK UP SHELDON

Will raiders have multiplayer? It won't be a deal breaker if it doesn't but them not adding mouse controls in the splatoon 3 update sucks but I kinda get it given how unfair it would be to switch 1 players

>>712394039
Clams is the high IQ mode.
Especially with randoms.
I don't begrudge people disliking it.

ZR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fihc2ONQ5v0

theres no white tank top in this game is there

THIRTY NEW WEAPONS AND I HAVE NO SHELDON LICENSES

FISTBUMP

who else is using a new weapon while listening to Kpop???

>I can snipe
I refuse to 5* these things though.

alright I'm backing out to get my reeflux i'll make a room when I'm done

That's nice and all, but when is Animal Crossing getting the Switch 2 patch

>>712397534
okay

>.4%
lmao
eat shit

this reef lux feels good but I need to stop myself from spamming torpedos

>>712397732
The fact half the team was broken off to make Raiders and aren't making Splatoon 4 is kinda telling of the fact they've already become production on the next Animal Crossing.

Wouldn't hold out on anything for New Horizons at this point.

>>712398409
embrace the torpedo spam, you know you want to

>all those double booyah bombs
oh I'm loving this

>>712398712
I have to controle myself or I'll run out of ink

>>712398616

Could you both stop being retarded.
The Splatoon and Animal Crossing teams have virtually no over lap anymore. And haven't for years.

>>712398808
>I have to controle myself or I'll run out of ink
fair point

it took them nearly 3 years but there's finally a good map in splatoon 3
