This is what it means when we say Japanese players PLAY FAST! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’จ

Hypernova's R1 opponent in SWS was Takoyaki Party. Game 1 was played on Barnacle, and Rusu picked Neo Splash.

We took lead early, but they took it back & KO'd us after THIS play. While reviewing, I was blown away! ๐Ÿงต

I also want to call out, Rusu used strikes 6 times this game.

โœ…Often used to cancel Crab Tank
โœ…Often used to support a teammate's fight
โŒNEVER used solely to cap Zone.
โœ…Always had a specific goal.

Often, players use strikes only to retake Zone, and not for the powerful tool they can be.

Smaller esports orgs who are willing to give a space for Splatoon to grow have nothing to lose

It can be a powerful symbiotic relationship if itโ€™s done right

Testing this theory later this year

depends on the context and the people who show up in the games. Iโ€™d lean towards no just cuz I personally would much rather sq or scrim but opens with a team and trying to get a high power is practice at the end of the day weather you take it serious or not you are still playing together as a group

gonna start this project now and go until sendou.ink is able to support a replay code feature

if you are a TO or a streamer for an event and want to contribute (either now or in the future) to a replay code database, DM me on Discord (you will be credited for uploading/gathering the codes!)

๐ŸŽฎ HOW TO PLAY AGAINST JAPANESE PLAYERS ๐Ÿ—พ Opening The JP scene is SO much better and has WAY more players than us. This doc is here to help meet more JP players, play with them, and overtime bridge the scenes! There are notes on Manners, Scrimming, and the different tournaments available. NO, not every tournament is an AREA CUP sweat...

HERE'S HOW WE CAN PLAY WITH JP WAY EASIER๐Ÿ”ฅ

I made a Guide covering
- How to understand basic JP Tournament phrases

- How to Scrim with JPs

- How to play in JP Tournaments (including not just AREA CUP)

since my database has seen a lot of use and the post has 150+ likes on bsky now, I want to bring this idea up now:

what if we started to publicly upload the replay codes of top 4 of the (highest) bracket for most tournaments?

the people yearn for replay codes (and analysis of them)

A screenshot from Southwest Airlines' website showing a Fall sale, where if you use the code "L-U-V-F-A-L-L" by the 7th of August, you can save up to 40% off base fares

If you haven't paid for Riptide flights yet, just know Southwest is hosting a sale until the 7th for base fares. Saved a huge amount of money with this, maybe you can too

I wanted to briefly speak on the idea that top players won't let you use off meta weapons mostly because I feel I have a very important pov here. I started using Dread late last year and at the time I did, no one had gotten a tourney win or anything in either scene with it. The weapon was entirely unproven and seen as dogshit by a lot of high ranked players for being a worse bucket, or zones cheese spam, or too slow for the meta or whatever. However when I won the first tourney I did with it, I had no trouble practicing and using the weapon in that environment. 

Maybe its different lower down, I have no idea honestly, and yes I obviously still had to get good results with it first, but I think in general you prove yourself as a player first before anything. But the idea that you can't play these weapons is just wrong, I had multiple groups play with me and I only struggle to find them now because the groups I had are now on teams (which obviously makes sense to prioritize) and I am picky on the comp I want built around my weapon. That's totally fine.

I wanted to talk a bit more about playing off meta at top level Dread is not the first time I've done this either. I tend to push off meta or unproven weapons when I notice they work for me results wise, and I am totally up to giving advice for others pushing their own weapons on how to make it here
