Splatoon has some of the most interesting world building out there but the stories in the games barely scratch the surface of it. They should make an animated series not targeted at preschoolers based on it

I got to sit in on a Splatoon Commentary review session (led by @alkbattery.bsky.social--thank you again!), and I took some notes on what we discussed. @elymental.bsky.social mentioned people here on bsky would probably find the notes helpful as well, so here you go! (Text is in ALTs.)

Key takeaways: Energy control/modulation of your presentation. How to build the game’s story inside of the game’s time. Conversational atmosphere.

Watch out for repetitive phrases: “Yeah, definitely” / “Absolutely” (watch back your commentary VODs to figure out what your go-to phrases are that you say when you have nothing to say.)

Splatoon games are only 5 minutes long, so it’s important to have a reason behind what you say and do. Be succinct. Cut your umm’s as much as possible (some is natural, but say your piece and toss the mic.)

Commentary should be a conversation. How do we make something feel more conversational even when we aren’t familiar with our co-commentator?
Before you’re live:
Warm up with co-commentator ahead of time (just yapping; talk about your day or whatever’s on your mind). Have a conversation beforehand to discuss any particular things that help you know when you need to pass the mic / be on the same page.
While live:
Occasionally say your co-caster’s name (can also be good for signalling when you’re tossing the mic). Ask them questions (doesn’t even always have to specifically be about the game if there’s a natural moment for that). Noises to signal you’re listening (“mm-hmm”s not as a “I’m taking over” but just as a sense that this is a conversation that you’re a part of and listening to). Responding to game or co-commentator with “oooh”s and “aaahs” behind what co-commentator is saying. Transitions off of what previous person said (“And speaking of...”)

General notes:
Some people tune in only when there’s active gameplay on the screen, so if you brought up anything important during the pre-game talk, it’s good to mention it again during the game (like which game this is in the set, what the stakes are, etc.)
Monitor how long you hold the mic. Splatoon games are only 5 minutes long!
Think about how you’d be conversational IRL
What’s at stake in this match? (Are there any additional storylines here?)
Be willing to bring the energy down from your co-commentator if they’re keeping the energy at a high level for too long when gameplay is coming back down to a lull/reset state.

Your energy coming in: if it’s weak, people may not register the game as starting (what is the start point?) Don’t oversell it, but come in already having a sense of what you want to talk about. (And if it’s an awaited set or a big final, then definitely come out the gate with a lot of energy)

How do you get excited naturally? Replicate that during hype moments / end of game when most important things happen.
Example: Caster gets hype in the play-by-play of a quad in overtime, but it comes on very suddenly without build-up. What could be done to build into the energy of overtime about to start?

Modulate your energy in your voice/your pacing with peaks and valleys. Monotonous pacing (even if it’s high energy) will lull people.
Example: Overtime with a big chance for a team to get the lead requires urgency in your tone. (In the lead-up: address the win condition.)

At the start of the game:
Talk about weapons at the start if it’s something notable (like a switch from one to another, or a weapon we rarely see, particular special, etc.)
State team names, their colors, what the stakes are (if there are any)

Based on the "cut the Overwatch cast down to 20 heroes" challenge that OW coach Spilo did, I cut the #compsplatoon kit count down to 50, trying to focus on health of a potential metagame, variety, and limiting my biases/mains. Credit to HDFG Captain zyf for inspiration and informing my choices.

#compsplatoon Many people that I’ve interacted with in the comp. Mario Kart and Splat scenes ought to recognize their hateful conduct, especially given their veneers of inclusivity. I’m still here (both being alive and in the scene) despite the harm you’ve given me but it hasn’t been smooth sailing.

#compsplatoon 11.0 impressions: * vBP is better at what it does now esp pack. Hitbox changes and HP bars makes it feel more consistent. Still struggles in backline mirror though * Tetras got what it needed all-around, might be crazy * Dynamo feels more rewarding not sure how good it is exactly

Of the four major metropolitan areas in the Northeast Megalopolis (DC, Philly, NYC, Boston), don't'cha think it's a little weird that Philadelphia is the only area without a dedicated LAN? I'm hoping to change that this year! And the first step is to gauge interest.

INKWAVE inspired league idea for #compsplatoon: Start out playing an SoS-style pool each week. Each week, align teams based on previous pool records. After a set # of weeks, teams are put in divs based on Elo. Div matches & playoffs work like LUTI but with 4 teams per group instead of 6. Thoughts?

Been researching INKWAVE, which is basically a JP SendouQ/LUTI hybrid. Format seems cool and I have some musings on how to implement some of their ideas in the west. I also think their definitions of range and roles are very neat and show the potential for diversity of thought in #compsplatoon

Neither of the statewide esports leagues that my alma mater plays in offers #compsplatoon, which is a shame because growing the scholastic scene only benefits the entire Splatoon scene by creating opportunities to showcase new players, and also analysts, coaches, and commentators.

After doing some tryouts, I think I would feel comfortable just playing the three minis in comp. I feel like improving on it is more intuitive to me than other stuff I've mained in the past. I'll probably play mostly zimi, keeping pocket vimi for good hammer mapmodes and kmini for dealing w anchors.

An idea I had today based on feedback for the CCA: what if there was a school alumni league for #compsplatoon where each team has its own farm system akin to north american baseball? Collegiate teams would have another incentive to play in external events to improve their player’s draft stock. (1/X)

Awesome seeing Riukun being able to get a result so quickly with the new mini. I think having a mint that can set up bubbles for both of them and having the combo of beakons and bubble is scary to fight against on paper - hope more people to try it in the west.

Riffy @riffy-microtones.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

REALLY hoping the new mini splatling (which I assume will be abbreviated as rMini based on the announcement) fills a beakon support niche in #compsplatoon. Ofc one loses out on chip with no burst or hammer throw but that's what vSplash does best. The question is how does it compete with vShot?
