tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Whenever i talk to none splatoon friends about comp splat Sendou is genuinely one of the first things i talk about because its just too cool, and yet i still agree we do not talk about this enough its the best reasource on any game ive ever played 020 0

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 02/10/2026i was fond enough of this list concept that it made me wana make me own :D Mine is definitely a more top heavy list with more weapons designed to balancing comps an enabling being high up [Very rough first draft] Really cool idea though and you can see what a player values base on their list :D 010 0
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 29913 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 22/08/2026dont worry goat, you already set the bar for western splatoon players skill wise i mean 7 months without a tournament loss is mental. And knowing when to step back sets an even better example that enjoyment comes first and being the best comes second. You do what you need! :D 000 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This dose not mean when these weapons are ran along side the best, i mean when they are the best. Zap and NTri could easily be considered balancers and are best in cooler role rn. But they arnt close to the best weapons in the game right now. 000 0
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 0

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026If we consider low level as silver ig in your analogy im aiming for like diamond not aiming to be the best but aiming to be good enough i think the only flaw here is if you are X 2000+ (Takaroka) you are in the top 5% of players due to how large splatoons skill gap and casual community is 010 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026adding on to this the skill levels in soloQ are really thrown out of balance right now. A lower skill player can reach higher lobbies and not built the fundamental skills to contribute to the team. So if they dont frag out the team suffers. 010 0
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 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Power wise they feel good? but they feel hella clunky, the clunky-ness gets better with upgrades but still mehhh My Current rankings in terms strength across all the content is probably Tactical Power then Speed With speed having probably the most fun kit, and alot of stronger niche matchups 000 0

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 0
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 0

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 25/06/2026where do we place dapples? for me coaching entry level, most dapples seem to have too many bad habits form SoloQ dapples making is quite difficult to identify clear problems and fix them as there are too many smaller compiled issues. 110 0
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 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 24/06/2026For me i believe it is like Ballpoint, No liter but still splat charger, and stringer. (So likely a inkjet meta where Liter is less effective for some reason) Then Double midline with Squeezer being viable but not opprseive, then if this is S3 cooler options being between zap, dapples and tri. 000 0
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 0

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I assume you have already thought of this but would you reference the SBA as a reasorce for players to use as well? it is a really nice reasoruce for entry level players (No bias as a SBA coach not at all) 000 0
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 0

tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 10/06/2026ye thats not the love it needs, its plainly too vulnerable witn AoE Prevalent in the meta, Eliter able to snipe it out of the sky, and cooler reducing its value. Plus the map dependent nature of the special? This is sadly not a relevant change 000 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 10/06/2026which kit are we reconing? id assume L-3 D? cause crab got nerfed and jet is well jet- Jet needs just a lil' love rn before its good 100 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Pessimistically we will see Liter, Zap/NTri, 52. , 96. as a main stay comp that wins most majors Most likely we could see a reasonable combination of Liter, Stringer, Pencil, Zap ,nTri, 52. , 96. , vSlosh , S-Blast, Dread, vRoller, Pro, splash, dualies, mini Optimistically add vBrella, DSlosh 120 0
tornadosandstorm.bsky.social @tornadosandstorm.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Slosher change is kinda needed? honestly i would have just slightly toned its paint down cause it can paint a hella lot for what it is. Do the devs want us to run caster into vac? It sure looks like it with 170p Bucket deco Also 50p difference in specials for the same weapon is mental. 120 0
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 0
