At max range it can take up to a whole ass second to kill a motionless training dummy because sometimes over half your bullets just miss for no reason.

Heavy played at max range is not a threat. It literally can't kill anything at that range. Its accuracy and bullet speed are both pretty abysmal. It is played at mid range because that is the only way it can actually hit people.

The actual crazy part to me is that the C-Liter was *scoped* when traditional knowledge was that Liter needs the mobility of non-scope to do well

I get why the AoE buff can seem problematic but have you considered that it also gets directs for free now with how crazy big that hitbox is?

Average XP is around 1800 and Inkjet is honestly still pretty crazy well above that. Clash, Kraken, Wavebreaker, and Inkjet form the "The player base is too shitty to buff this" club unfortunately.

That they just went and gave the hflick its S1 kill range back is crazy. I've been wanting that for 8.5 years now but they actually did it..

Such a bad and unnecessarily rude response. Basically every con curates the den now, but they're usually not dicks about it.

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

They technically nerfed the damage radius of its short range mode, but now if it kills multiple people in a row it gets free IA for half a minute so it is kind of a wash imo

Well-implemented aim assist wouldnt break the game's balance. It also wouldn't apply to motion controls. Unlike Japan, people will just go play other shooters when they try to play with sticks and can't hit anything. Big reason why the game sells better in the West but Ranked is dead tbh

000

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Well, dual sticks is more inclusive for people with conditions that affect the motor skills needed for motion aiming. About 6% of kids have dyspraxia for example. Balanced Aim Assist that makes both sticks *and* motion viable is possible and the ideal tbh

110

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

In general though, Western console shooter players grew up playing with sticks. They've used it their entire lives on a regular basis. So stick controls not being viable is actually the #1 reason I've seen people not stick with Splatoon. In Japan this is most players' first shooter. So not an issue

100

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

When you're trying to attract console shooter players willing to drop $70, you're primarily looking at the people who grew up on CoD and Halo. And in those games sticks > MnK Now, don't add Aim Assist THAT broken. But there are balanced Aim Assist methods that would benefit the Western scene a lot.

Motion controls would still be viable for sure It's more about growing the base in the West because it is hard for competitive shooter players to justify practicing a completely different control scheme. Lol

130

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

The end result is Splatoon sells more in West than Japan but it is a much more casual audience that straight up doesn't play Ranked There is hope that 4 will at least add mouse controls and maybe even finally fix stick controls (lololol). Then there is that transferable skill, more appealing then.

130

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

They can't easily get new people because competitive-leaning shooter players in the West don't want to learn motion when nothing else uses it competitively; best option is either mouse or sticks (depends on game, CoD is a sticks game for example). It is a non-transferable skill, not worth it. 1/2

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Yeah, they used it a bunch because they kept getting bad matchups for Hedit. So they switched between new rapid pro and zap for cooler, sometimes using both at once. Their standard comp is Sblast/Dread/Hedit/Vsplash, they just didn't want to go through with terrible matchups when they could switch

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Nobody who is satisfied with making it into +3 was ever going to become skilled enough because they lack the necessary mindset. As a general rule, Splatoon does not appeal to Western gamers that are actually competitive. That is the fundamental struggle here and there's no easy solution for that.

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Like you'd think Milky Way got absolutely destroyed by the team that got 2nd judging by these reactions but it didn't feel like that to me at all? Idk

020

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

If you look at the actual matches, the West's top teams seemed to primarily just have trouble with closing out close games against tough teams. Something JP just has more experience with. How is getting rid of +3 supposed to address this issue?

220

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

The issue is, the Western audience for Splatoon sees it as a silly fun casual squid game and this is almost entirely Nintendo of America's fault. The Splatoon segment at the Nintendo World Championships 2015 in particular did irreparable damage unfortunately IMO

000

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

There are more Splatoon 3 players in the West than in Japan. We have the sales numbers etc The actual core issue is that your average Western Splatoon player mostly just plays Salmon Run and some Turf War. They might dabble in Ranked but never get past A and have low power too, so Ttek dead AF

AI can't even give me the correct Elite Four lineups of Pokemon games. Asking it about actually important stuff sounds insane?

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

When you view the kits from the lens of, "What if the devs suck at the game?" A lot of the bad kits suddenly make a ton of sense. I mean they're still terrible but you can see why they thought that kit wouldn't be booty. They just don't fully understand their own game.

000

Shiori @jinrou.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

The vast majority of the kit designers are likely just bad at the game. For example, both of the Wellstringer kits are perfectly logical through the lens of a bad player. E.g. "You can use Auto bomb to help with shots over cover and hammer to splat people who rush you!" (Spoiler: it doesn't work)
