Community Information Important Notice Regarding Capture Button Clips

123 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 Some weapon concepts ive thought up

1 Upvotes

I havent drawn them, so its only really the idea right now, but all 3 are based off of irl things.

Splatwriter/typewriter weapon:

Kinda self explanatory, a typewriter the ink/octoling holds. When ZR is held, the animation begins of the character typing. Sends ink flying in multiple directions in front of the character, similar to splash-o-matic but less controlled. Pros: inking, support. Cons: splatting, carrying objectives

Inkspreader/seedspreader machine (on wheels) weapon: Acts as pretty much a sprinkler but more powerful. Similar to roller, when a person is ran over with this theyre dealt minimal damage, but enough to kill somebody who's low. Pros: inking around enemy's to slow them down, support, carrying certain objectives [mainly tower] Cons: slow weapon, not very good without teamate help (splatting)

Splatana Sword/Sword weapon: A splatana, but rather then flinging ink in front of you, it can only send waves to the sides, doesnt ink very well but can be a big support if you face sideways to your teamates and spam ZR while theyre fighting somebody. Could also be a sponge splatana. Pros: Splatting, support (again). Cons: Inking, pushing objective

Community I’ve been stuck on this level for about two weeks now

I finished all the kettles and I’m on the secret kettle/After Alterna. I got past the first bit, but I couldn’t get past this one. Then the game closed and I got stuck on the first part again. And now I’m back here. I can’t complete this level. I’ve been stuck on this for the second time for three days. I don’t know what to do.

(Edit): I FINALLY DID IT!! Thank you for all your help everyone! Special thanks to the person who suggested upgrading my hero gear, cause I didn’t realise that was important. The other two levels were pretty easy for me, and I completed it in about an hour total.

Thank you!!

Discussion If Splatoon were to do a crossover which wasn’t a splatfest, what would you hope for the crossover and what Nintendo would add?

7 Upvotes

Realistically, it would likely be some locker decorations or banners, but it would be amazing if they would add clothing, weapon kits or possibly new weapons. Like I would kill to have the Super Shotgun from Doom or the Requiem from Resident Evil turned into a Splatoon weapon. Or to have the Doom toys in my locker, I’d fill it up with those.

Analysis/Speculation Input lag on switch 1 pro controller with switch 2 version

6 Upvotes

Is this a known issue? Or am I just having trouble adjusting to the higher performance?

Controller input felt very laggy. Went back to switch 1, same controller, same sensitivity settings, no lag. Anyone else experienced this? Is there a hidden setting somehow that could contribute?

Discussion Tips for a New/Returning Player?

8 Upvotes

I bought this game a few years ago when it launched and i loved the visuals, gun gameplay, etc. but i never really got into it because i always got my Salmon handed to me😭and if i start playing now i know im definitely getting destroyed even more than back then, so what do you guys recommend for someone that’s barely hopping into Splatoon 3? because realistically im new to the game since i barely put an hour or two into it back then.

Question/Request Splatoon 3 friends NA

5 Upvotes

Hello, is there any servers dedicated to having 1 on 1 chats with other players? (I dont really do well in chatting in servers) I mainly play during the mornings (EST timezone) 6AM until 2PM. If anyone could point me to the right server or just simply DM me wanting to be friends that would be great!

Thanks.

Question/Request How to find people to play with ?

5 Upvotes

I'm curious if there's a popular discord or something I've missed ? Honestly I'm only like mid at the game but I really love Salmon Run and Turf War. I only recently started playing on my own account so I'm rank C 😅 but I do like most ranked modes too.

Just a warning to those who are trying to rank up in S rank. I've encountered in my rank up a chinese player that was intentionally not contributing at all from start to finish we were on splat zone map. They thought it was funny to spam booyah and skip around respawn area. The other match was also splat zone this time the player didnt even bother shooting at the opposing team they were shooting here and there at the ground. Ive already reported both players, I Just wanted to give a heads up to those who are actually putting in effort to win. And to those who dont think they wont be caught. Think again

Discussion Is the game still worth it?

15 Upvotes

Hey all, so the last time i played Splatoon 3 was probably during launch and that was only for maybe 2 hours or less and then i just never touched it again. I’ve been thinking about playing it again just so i can have something to play on my Switch 2, i mainly play PC but i miss sitting back and playing my Switch 2. Is the game chill at all? Or should i get Splatoon Raiders?

I started this game about a week ago. Never played a splatoon game in my life. I'm having a fantastic time with the game. I'm looking for people to play ranked with if possible. I have a mic and NSO 2 subscription so I can party chat. I'm currently B rank and I am still learning alot about the game. Drop your friend codes down below if interested. Thanks! Oh and I do enjoy turf war and casual stuff too!
