splatoon 3 end of season 1 summary post

hii so since i actually have an opportunity to bookmark my feelings about the game now in context to when it’s still happening, i wanna like talk abt a general list of my stats atm and how i feel abt the game and what i want to see next... long af under the cut probs so beware

general set of stats first:

- 270 hours in it atm - level 46, s+2 highest (and current) - total wins: 792, turf inked: 1,203,542p, badges: 59 - i’m on catalog #4, level 13

- 4* weapons (since i have no 5*): range blaster, octobrush, goo tuber - 3* weapons: aerospray mg, rapid blaster pro, e-liter 4k, e-liter 4k scope, tri-slosher, explosher, ballpoint splatling, dark tetra dualies, tri-stringer - weapons not played at all: splat roller*, inkbrush*, splat charger*, mini splatling, dapple dualies, undercover brella * these weapons were in the testfire where i did try all of them

- best splat zones stage (according to the app, by winrate): museum apparently? 100% winrate - best tower control stage: hagglefish 77.8% - best rainmaker stage: mincemeat 100% :) this is not a single-match winrate hehe - best clam blitz stage: undertow 100% - maps i haven’t played sz on: eeltail, sturgeon, wahoo - maps i haven’t played tc on: eeltail - maps i haven’t played rm on: (none) - maps i haven’t played cb on: ...y’all ready. scorch, hagglefish, mincemeat, hammerhead, museum, mahi, inkblot, sturgeon, makomart, wahoo

- best salmon run rank: eggsecutive 625 i think? (gone fission, all randoms, grizzco brella) - scales: 541 bronze (saving for a 600 item), 8 silver (just bought black suit), 5 gold (i want goldie statue) - 795 shifts worked, 203998p total points, 67 king salmonids defeated - highest salmon run shift score: idr the exacts bc i didn’t screenshot it i guess but it was 156 gold eggs

- - - - -

now as for some general thoughts on the state of the game: - weapons i think are the best (overall, in meta): splash, hydra - weapons i think are the worst: undercover brella. need i say more - weapons i don’t really like fighting atm: n-zap... evergreen, splatana stamper, dapple dualies - other notes: beakons are still the devil, crab and bubbler are obnoxious, tacticooler not being breakable sucks shit, and the kit distribution in this game is kinda bad atm but it’ll get better as more come in

- stages i think are the best: makomart (of course), museum, hammerhead - stages i think are the worst: mahi, scorch - stages i don’t really like playing atm: ...mahi, scorch, but also eeltail can be awful - other notes: this game’s map design isn’t as bad as people say but i do kinda wish there were more options to get around the stage, esp when they take one of the large stages (undertow) this patch and shrink it in turf, this will chill out as more stages come out tho so

thoughts on each mode: - turf: it’s the same as ever but i wanna just say i saw a post that was like “ppl who say only the last 30s matter are ppl who don’t paint spawn” and i just wanna say like. how can you be that wrong. like i’m sorry turf is fine but acting like a single large sweep near the end can’t reverse a match is idiotic - tricolor: SO fun. will touch on the upcoming patch changes later but even in base game, all the like 3 times i got to play it, it was so fun. i think it needs work tho still cuz defending being spawncampable is so stupid - sz: this mode is still just kinda “wall out middle once you have it” which. let’s be real that’s how like half of turf war matches go -- i kinda wish this mode had some kind of switch up or at least the zones would be unconventional places on each map rather than just being a center square most of the time. probably my overall least favorite but still fun - tc: bad bitch coming through -- ok but actually no, 2nd fav. bubbler on tower is ridiculous, and i think in general this mode still suffers from a large amount of Clunk around the tower itself interacting with geometry, but its fun! it didn’t change much from 2 so that’s the end of my thoughts - rm: fav mode since 1, still my fav mode -- it’s a lot less like, “steal the show” -ish, but its heavy emphasis on movement while still centralizing on a single object makes it my fav mode. tc is a bit too boring and cb a bit too chaotic for my tastes, so this is just so perfect. checkpoints are cool but also we need to literally force people to use them so they don’t skip them. also makomart rm is still intact :) peace and love on planet earth - cb: i never really Like liked this mode but i thought it was at least on par with sz in terms of like bullshit nonsense that can just Happen Sometimes. like funny beakon brushes in 2 made that mode a complete nightmare in terms of like “ok guys let’s set up a pu- They Broke Our Basket!” shit and in this game, with the lowered clam requirement overall for a superclam, it makes the mode just like. play faster? plus the more hallway-esque maps work well here because you don’t have to monitor 3 separate fucking lanes like you would in 2 -- i’m still kinda wary of playing it a lot hence my lack of stages seen, but it seems to be a lot better and i’m happy about it :)

thoughts on the game as a whole: - lack of content from 2 (gear, variants, stages) got me missing it kinda rn but all the qol, movement, and new content added make it worth staying with 3 anyways -- this won’t be a problem when the game is ending its life cycle but for now it’s just kinda annoying (esp with some reveals this patch... more on that later) - i really like the direction overall in terms of like. more weapons, more subs, more specials, more abilities, more gear, more options. it feels a lot easier to navigate and manage than splatoon 2, and i feel it’ll become an insanely good game in the latter parts of its life

thoughts on general “what i want to see in the future” stuff: - 3rd kits for every weapon... please dear god like genuinely we just need them. 15 (or more.) specials and however many subs and we still have 2 inkjet weapons in the game right now like genuinely we need more kits than ever and i hope we see a lot - speaking of, i hope we get to finally have at LEAST a 3rd brush, if not 5 -- as well as more dualies, brellas, splatlings, sloshers, splatanas, and stringers. i know we’ll probably get enough to fill out the roster on those last 2, but i hope they don’t neglect the other weapons tbh. i also wouldn’t mind seeing like “pro” or other alternate variants of weapons, like a bamboozler pro, undercover brella pro, splatana wiper pro, etc. etc. -- these would have unique properties in the same way rapid & rapid pro vary from each other, altho they could also do things like dodge rolls, unique mechanics or bullets, etc. etc. - a LARGE majority, if not ALL stages returning. since this game is more or less the finale in a trilogy, i think making this game kinda the “smash ultimate” of splatoon makes a lot of sense -- i think it’d be so nice for the game’s overall diversity if we have basically every map, and i’d like to see how they get reworked as controversially i really like the redesigned maps (outside of mahi anyways) - a new ranked mode. this one is probable, but i just really think we could use another tbh -- i want to see what they can do considering how the game has evolved, and also i’d like it to be another unique mode in that it doesn’t run the same overall playstyle of tc and rm -- cb is kinda like them but it’s different enough imo - custom kits in private battles -- this one is super out there, and i think it’d be a very late end-of-life feature to massively increase the game’s competitive potential and really make this game the peak of what it could be. i don’t think this should be added until the end of its life just for the sake of posterity, and i think i’d like it to accompany an update where you can more or less make “decorated” weapons for your locker in the same way -- and those would be usable in battle here. also tricolor in privates at the end of the game’s life or ELSE.

thoughts on 2.0.0: - new weapons are SO fun i’m so excited to have them all. new variants too - both new stages look fantastic and i can’t wait to experience them -- brinewater has one of my favorite overall looks in the series too - marooners coming back is so nice - the balance tweaks are SO nice -- splatana and stringer buffs are so good in game, all the changes i made i think are really good - HOWEVER. however. overall, i think this is really kinda underwhelming and spelling a very sparse future for the game. if we’re only getting 10-13 weapons every 3 months and 2 stages ... less than we would in the game if the drops were monthly like splat 2, ... it’s not looking good. i hope they hear feedback on this and consider upping the overall count. i would personally like it to be around 12-16 weapons (including new and variants), 3 maps (one new, one from 1, one from 2 where possible), and 1 new sr map/grizzco weapon per season - also the no halloween splatfest this year... i get it but also like i don’t like it. i don’t think splatoween was ever realistically coming but it was weird having such a gap. hopefully we get a normal christmas splatfest this year and then like. splatoween + frostyfest next year

and now i’m going to put this after a huge break but i wanna talk abt leaks/datamines so if you don’t want to see that, close the post now! thank you for reading

thoughts on leaked/datamined stuff: - another new special terrifies me, considering we already have so many, but it could be cool -- hopefully we see it before the end of the game’s life LMAO - i wouldn’t actually mind more subs out of all things, angle shooter is kinda just there and we could do so much more than just having it tbh - need all the new sr enemies to come, especially if balloon isn’t a boss but instead another on the roster of generic enemies, which i think would be nice as we didn’t get anymore this update - hopefully we get new king salmonids every other season, so 3/5/7 -- and big run stages once a season, i hope the next one is a splat 3 stage as well - i hope sr gets some new events and that some of the datamined bosses relate to them, esp ghost. need ghost to be a spooky night stage mode - i hope the leaked special sr shift modes (pair, etc.) are actually going to be 8 player and that they finally put splashdown back in the mode (as is intended, it’s coded to show up but omitted) - jukebox is coming in season 3 and the music name change is a precursor, mark my words - silver splash and gold dynamo are so sexy. i hope all the weapons get cool new colors instead of stickers altho only custom jr. has broken this trend so far. i also hope we get a mix of kensa, sheldons picks, and another (barazushi? red and blue weapons would be hype) as a 3rd kit. i know kensa says “limited time” but it would be cool if there were the occasional ones still - hell i hope more brands get weapon tie-ins in general, i hate the lack of them in the game atm since there are so many brands like give them all weapons and shit ... come on - makomart tricolor looks like it’ll be a fun mess. eeltail tricolor looks like it’s not done but i hope it uses its beta middle layout (which is closest to sz in the final game) - the reef will probs come back in season 3 but i’ll be sad as i don’t rly like having to waste slots on the more simplistic maps - i would scream if they “upgrade” a shifty station into an actual stage and release it alongside the paid dlc bc it’s one marina made, in the same way pearl contributed to camp triggerfish - the maps i generally want to see back are like: urchin w a streamlining, bluefin with a streamlining, beta saltspray specifically as a tricolor exclusive or sr stage / humpback, moray2, kelp2, snapper2 (beta middle? pleek), shellendorf remodel, arowana2, albacore, and anchov with a mix of its splat 1 and 2 layouts. - i am PRAYING that camp, saltspray final, skipper, and goby don’t come back. esp the mirrored maps (saltspray / skipper) as they’re always a complete mess layout wise and balancing wise and we can do better

wow that was so much text. ok i’m done writing now bye like a nd subscrieb for more !^!^!!%JJ!J!!!1 i’ll do another one of these when season 2 is nearly ending so * points * also lmk what u think splatutals ^_^ UPDATE more got datamined while i was writing this -- let me just add my thoughts real quick - mincemeat tricolor is so WEIRD but it looks cool... afraid of it getting spawncamped tho - undertow tricolor ... the turf update makes more sense now. i really like this one tho but i love undertow in general so

#d #s #another post will be coming this morning for my music stuff so hehe

Hey bestie!! Yeah that was me the other day with the mangos, seriously I really shoulda looked it up or something cuz that was almost as bad as the time i accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour. I hope whatever beings that look down at us like ants talk about me like posts about jensen ackles. Maybe i wanna be the pretty man with the fruity little boots! You ever been in onea those houses that look like hgtv? I Do Not Belong Here. Also i forgot my meds at home lmfaooo. Youve probably seen those oil pumps, the ones that look like birds pecking, yeah? (unrelated but onetime we found some frog eggs in the water tank of one and we took em home and raised em up into frogs!). And they have those out in the ocean, one exploded recently i think?? So we was watchin a video on em and apparently they build em close to each other and idk if the guys from one rig will boat to another to like play cards or something but i think it would be fun if they did. Also i think theyre kinda rad looking, like if they werent so bad for the enviroment and stuff i think ppl should just live on those. I guess itd be hard to make money there? Tho they can be fairly self sufficient too i think. But ok there was this scooby doo episode on onea these and velma was like gay for this mermaid?? Idk it was pretty much my fav one except ofc she turned out not actually being a mermaid which was lame cuz i think mermaids fuckin rock. Tho i think the idea of freshwater mermaids is much cooler. Like imagine getting pulled to ur death in a river not by the undertow but cuz u stepped too close to a mermaid hole. Fuckin awesome shit there. Ohh speaking of which I seen ur thing on japanesenatural, but like. Thats such a clever take on spn??? Everything i know about japanese ppl comes secondhand, friends, neighbors, social studies, etc. but i like reading about ur stuff on it. Every time someone takes spn and looks at it through a different lense, especially identity based, its always so good. Its about giving fictional characters ur lived experiences and processing things thru them ig. Also i saw yall was talking about poems earlier and while i dont know a lot of em i rlly like that one about the orange and idk if someone brought that one up already. “I love you im glad i exist” OK!!!!!! OK!!!!!!!!!!! I am feeling some things! Love how cas is very into bees like every time this bitch mentions insects im just!!!! Mmmm and i personally, being rhe person who has a ton of useless info on insects (not so much specifically bees but i know some. Mostly cuza castiel actually.) very much enjoy this. Yessssss lets talk about insects ily bestie!! I love being friends with other queer ppl…. Like omg same! I dont remember what i said to u last time also i feel like i just talked a lot so im gonna go before i start repeating myself also isnt it so frickin crazy its sunday??? And like the 4th of july. Here they only can have sponsored city approved firework shows so they already did those, but back home peoplell still be shootin off fireworks till next sunday lol. Im glad we arent doing anything this year. Learning from perspectives outside of the country has made patriotism taste much more rotten. How ru????????? I think its weird when ppl have cameras everywhere like in the house im in theres an ipad set up in the kitchen and u can see every angle of the outsidea the house. Some guy in my neighborhood has like floodlights and a buncha cameras all over their house that always comes on when im walkin the dogs at night and ik they got robbed a few times so /ig/ it makes sense but also theyre all really annoying and the dad is a cop and every person in my neighborhood who got robbed was a total asshole so like??? Is it rlly a crime if its funny?? Mbby if u stopped posting about qanon on facebook ppl would like u more smh. No but crime is bad ig. I wish ppl would garden with me cuz a lotta these people have nice manicured lawns (and seriously FUCK those. Biodiversity ftw babey!!) but dont rlly know how to garden which is different from me cuz i know how im just bad at it

DSFJJSDFJKL dba first off. powdered sugar instead of FLOUR????? also im so glad you like japanesenatural i think it's very fun as well! tasty treat just for me. as for the orange poem it's literally my favorite poem of all time i read it for the first time like sitting in class and fully tearing up it's so good. happy fourth of july to you too! i hope you have many people to talk insects with bestie. as for gardens i literally killed my little cactus i kept in a window sooooo. oops. i'll leave that to u guys.

Fave band/group: hmm i don’t really have favs but recently i’ve been listening to a lot of Oh Wonder and ANIMA!

Fave solo artists: again no real favs but right now i’m loving dodie and mxmtoon

Song stuck in my head: ah now i’ve mentioned mxmtoon i’ve got ‘no faker’ stuck in my head haha

Last movie: uhhhh either the muppets christmas carol or the greatest showman, can’t remember which was last, but im literally about to watch the live action mulan for reasons

Last show: Normal People

When did I create this blog: uhhhh hold up lemme check... April 2016! ugh i’ve been in this fandom too long aha

What do I post: mostly ml reblogs and stuff but i write and post fics too! (especially over the last year, i think i wrote more last year than the previous three years combined lmao) i also post the odd bit of art :)

Last thing I googled: uh how to work out averages in excel haha (i’m trying to track my writing progress this year)

Other blogs: @inkjackets-original!! this is a blog for my original short stories and pieces of flash fiction :D

Do I get asks: yeah sometimes! especially when I reblog ask games or ask for fic requests, i’ll always get a couple <3

Why I chose this url: so back in the year 2016 i fell stupidly hard into a stupid show called Miraculous Ladybug and through it i discovered FANFICTION (i’d like obvs heard of it before, but never engaged with it) and anyway after a while reading amazing fics i discovered to my horror/delight that i wanted to WRITE IT TOO sooooo i decided to create a tumblr! and since this was intended to be a sort of writing blog i wanted to come up with a writing/book related username and came up with inkjackets – after all books are just pages of ink wrapped in dust jackets! (though like i said before until last year i never actually did much writing lol)

Following: 802

Followers: 415 <3

Average amount of sleep: anywhere between 6-10, it changes daily

Lucky number: i don’t really have one? i usually just say 7. or 13 if i’m feeling controversial hahaha

Instruments: i don’t really play anything :( but i like to sing! i’m nothing special but i’ve always been a part of school choirs and stuff :)

What I’m wearing: thick long-sleeved stripy top and dungarees

Dream job: ah a question i still hate at the age of 25 (: i seriously have no idea!! part of me wants to be an author and have a chill time writing in the countryside all day, but i also love being outdoors and would love to continue being an activity instructor doing fun and adventurous things forever, but then i also want to get a fancy job in the city running around being busy and important!! i just want to do a bit of everything you know?

Dream trip: i’d love to do rural asia, especially china, to see all the cool mountains and beautiful scenery they have there

Fave food: noodlesssss!! give me any sort of asian noodle dish and i’ll love you forever

Nationality: British and Australian

Fave songs: hmm some songs i never get bored of are ‘Boys Like You’ by dodie, ‘Who We Are’ by Imagine Dragons and ‘Blood’ by ANIMA!. right now i’m also obsessed with ‘Undertow’ by Lisa Hannigan (who, fun fact, voices blue diamond in su!)

(bonus song: i’ve also been listening to ‘walk but in a garden’ by mxmtoon so much recently cause it gives such good lockdown chill vibes)

Last book I read: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaivosky, a really really well done (if kinda unsettling) sci-fi novel, but ngl i want to talk about the book i read before that which is An Absolutely Remarkable Thing (and its sequel) by Hank Green which was FANTASTIC like hands down one of the best books i’ve read in a long time and if you’re looking for something fun and easy while also tackling serious real world problems (like the dangers of social media) then i HIGHLY recommend it, like honestly even if that’s not something you’re looking just go read it anyway!!!

Top 3 fictional universes I’d love to live in: 1. Harry Potter. kinda goes without saying haha, i want to be able to do magic 2. ATLA, (like only if i’m a bender tho lol) 3. hmm Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. It was one of my fav serious as a kid and I always longed to live in that sort of intelligent pre-historic age, and the world michelle paver creates feels so damn realistic, and i just feel like i’d thrive in that sort of world, tbh (i think the adhd would help lmao)

thank you so much for tagging me!! that was loads of fun ^^ i’m not gonna tag anyone but if you want to do this game go ahead and tag me in it!!
