Reposted by @tornadosandstorm.bsky.socialJared @isjared.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The term meta changes from "most effective tactic available" to "most efficient tactic available" when it comes to team games human error is increased by so much that sometimes the best strategy is too easy to mess up. It's different in fighting games mainly because you only have to worry about YOU 19913
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The discussion of "What weapons are good when the meta is healthy?" Has been popping up more And i think it can be nicely summarized by the weapon roles this JP tournament uses inkwave-repro.vercel.app When 2 or more balancers are the best weapons in the game, the meta is healthy.inkwave-repro.vercel.appINK WAVELeague of Wavers INK WAVE 100
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 19/08/202611.03 summary: Nerf the paint based backlines that vaugly slowed down 52 and Blaster keeping the meta interesting. Slap on the wrist for Liter, the problem child backline Slap on the wrist for 52 Soft Rework splashdown 96. smol nerf Buff Ntri and CarbonD, dose nothing to meta Glooga stocks up ig? 000
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Sounds like we need to play MORE 52. to ensure it gets a nerf need it to get hit with the machine nerfs nerf the firerate! >:D 010

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026a little late but SWS was peak! but damn the state of the meta rn... Japan make this meta vaguely engaging. But this meta is so nonfunctional art every other level of play included top level western. When investment into a weapon is this low for such high value its not fun for anyone else. 111
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Damn this kinda crazy ngl... unfortunately we should have seen this coming, stronger fighting power weapons (52. & Blaster), Strong painting backlines( Bow & heavy) and a general outclass of specials like crab and jet and specials moving towards "No preference" or use during team fight = value 000
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Been looking at Ink wave which is a Jp tournament format that kinda sits in the middle of LUTI and SendouQ. and on their website they have a really interesting take on weapon roles They split it into 6 roles Attacker Supporter Controller Tanker Megaphone Runner (peak name) Balancer 010
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 25/06/2026back to queuing SendouQ and im working my way up the lower ranks Compared to just a few weeks ago there are so many more people, this feels like release SendouQ again nearly This is honestly so amazing! Only small issue is finding D1 players in iron, but that will be gone if we keep playing 010
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I think a fun question for tryouts is "What is your ideal meta?" Really tells you alot about both player knowledge and their ideal play styles 210

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 18/06/2026loving how many eyes are on splatoon right now, realistically this can only be good. If people like the look of the game they will join if not they wernt gonna play anyway. This could also help reduce the stigma in the west about it being a kids game. Which always helpful for the future 000

Reposted by @tornadosandstorm.bsky.socialDislike @dislikestarz.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Post #110: Patch 11.2.0 has dropped! In my opinion, I feel a bit mixed but overall positive. They nerf most of the problematic weapons but failed to give us any sort of real buffs. I also want to thank Inkipedia editors for putting the 11.2.0 changes! #splatoon #compsplatoon (1/4) 49322

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 10/06/2026W patch, we do need some buffs though- Liter is gonna be the main stay now, Pencil is probably neutral for this reason despite the buff. Stringer comps are now probably the replacement to heavy spam. Blaster is still better than pre 11.0 so may still be played 52. .... This thing needs gutted 120

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 09/06/2026i was so afraid i wasnt gonna play raiders cause it was the only switch 2 game i would really want, but now with Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Ninjala 2, Pokopia, Duskblood and even Switch Resort. im quite comfortable with getting a switch 2. That direct wasnt for everyone but for me it really landed 020

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 09/06/2026That direct was absolutely insane! basically if you are a fan of any of Nintendos primary or secondary franchises you had something there Im eating with Xenoblade, Fire emblem and Raiders And some other stuff i may consider giving a go cause it looked hella good! 010

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Chat, we need to stop picking edit in top level it has seen a sub 30% win rate across most majors since SWS last year all the way through to recent tournaments like GG#1 and SQ11. This weapon is just not good enough right now, it restricts compositions too much. 110
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Yayyy i can finally yap thoughts about the stats :D These arnt really predictions just observations, we need GG#2 and SWS to draw conclusions properly 2124
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 11/05/2026So made this post of meta predictions following SWS last year, was all stats based. Geez this aged better than expected Pen, Slosher S-Blast Retained a good spot as expcted Reef has remained good Biggest read was blaster, although the buff it got was definitely a unpredictable contributor 120
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Chat where the meta at rn, i been too locked in with Assignment/Exam season ive missed like a month and a half of meta development, last i heard 96. got good 000
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 29/01/2026The health bar is nice? but i definetly have noted that it isnt accurate there have been a good few times ive 1 tapped someone with a full health bar or had to land a full set of attacks to kill someone on an near empty bar 000
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 27/01/2026#splatoon this is one heck of a patch, is this good for balance? i cant say this patch does so many unique things its impossible to predict what i can predict is health bars and aura will encourage feeding in lower levels more.

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 14/09/2025#compsplatoon working on a little something and want some options, how good do people think each weapon is at fighting, painting & anchoring on a scale of 1-10 each? If you have time a tier list ranking every weapon if not could i just get your thoughts on Slosher, Pencil, Splash, Liter & S-Blast 040
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 13/09/2025#CompSplatoon Just curious but how would people go about describing comp building? ik alot of people still use the FLC "roles" to describe comp building despite recent discussion, but does anyone have another system they use? Currently im thinking almost like a skill point hexagon would work? 330

Reposted by @tornadosandstorm.bsky.socialSamino @saminospl.splstrong.com · 23/08/2025After the community's reaction to Splat Safety's post, it's incredibly demotivating to want to continue doing community work. I'm passionate about what I do, but much of the joy has been sucked out. It's hard to trust a community that's so quick to judge without considering the implications. (1/3) 1368
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Find this super intresting 1. is the top 4 pick % weapons from SWS 2. is basically same concept but you have a stamper player 3. DREAD STOCKS ARE UP! (but really cool team concept) 4. Arguably the most intresting team, but not a shocker. We have seen more octobrush recently [1/X] 100
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 15/08/2025The assist leaderboards for SWS kinda crazy, like ye cooler has most average assists and after that your top assist players on none cooler weapons sit at like 3.5 assists per game and then there is burstie with 6.2?!? i wana see what they do diffrently and if its useful for others #compsplatoon 150
