Discussion There wasn't a weapon more poorly mistreated through Splatoon 3 than Splat Brella. What do you think?

biggest blunder for me when it comes to Splatoon 3 is the patches, lots of weapons were nerfed in 2 because of factors that don't affect s3 like MPU

you'd think they would revert the nerfs from s2's meta game but most never received it, or in worse cases like Splat Brella the weapon gets changed into something it's not

shout out to my other teammates pulling thru the 3v4 during the match, we won this one! I usually suck at carrying the rainmaker but I think my improvements with dynamo and wellspring helped me be more agile and aware of enemy surroundings lol.

Original Art [Original Content - My Art] New weapon concept - the Octo-Pole

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Sheldon Introduction
"Have you ever thought to yourself "Man, I could have secured that splat if I had been just a bit closer..." Then this weapon is for you! Keep those pesky spaltanas and duelies at arms length and show them the Finer points of combat with the Octo-pole! But this thing isn't just for poking people. On the contrary! Hold down that fancy lever, rev up the motor, and watch the tip spin! brace it against the ground, and it can even block shots and bombs! Though not particularly well... . Keep up the pressure with auto bomb, and if they Really don't learn to respect your space, teach them the error of their ways with a well timed Splash Down! And above all else, make sure they know You hold the biggest stick in any engagement!"

Description
The octo-pole is a long ranged, defensively oriented melee option, designed to punish overly aggressive skirmishers and slayers. It attacks quickly, and it's charged attacks can hit up to 4 times, giving it one-shot potential. The defining feature of this weapon is the ability to enter a "Spear Brace". By pressing back on the left joystick while holding a full charge, you will drop into a crouch. Though you are unable to move, the tip of your spear acts as a Mini Ink wall, blocking enemy shots and bombs in whatever direction you point it. You can also exit the brace at any moment by holding forward instead. However, this consumes a lot of ink, and using it recklessly can leave you dry. It can also get out manoeuvred if caught in a bad position.

Meta Data
Weight class: Middle weight
Role: Skirmisher / Anti-Skirmisher/Slayer
Ink consumption (per attack): 3% uncharged, 6% charged, 20%/s when bracing
Damage (per attack): 35, 35x4 when charged, 30 damage on contact + bounced away when braced
Attack speed: 1 frame to start poking, with a 10 frame delay between pokes (6 attacks a second)
Charge speed: 30 frames
Shot Block ink penalty: 5% for each shot, 10% for each bomb

Creator commentary
If you're here, thanks for listening to my ramblings. I've had the idea for some time, but have only now put it to paper. This is, unironically, the peak of my artistic ability (As of now). would this be unfun to fight against? Probably. But I wouldn't know. I have many more ideas I plan to share, though I tend to be pretty spotty when it comes to posting, so don't expect consistency.

Original Art [Original Content - My Art] [Blender] Melissa's and Johnny's Apartment

Post image
23 Upvotes

The 2 week Minecraft phase became a month plus and I really needed to get back to Blender soooo I'm back with a random render.

This one I tried taking as much inspiration from Japanese apartments as I can, spent the entire first day researching for it. Then it took 3 days to set this up. If you wonder how, I use a lot of downloaded models... But I modelled the bunk bed myself! Not the pillows, though. I expected it to be difficult to fit one, so it was a bit of a compromise to leave Johnny (top bunk) with less head space.

Yeah, well, nothing too special here.

Discussion I Googled スプラトゥーン 味方 And Found Some Interesting Search Recommendations

Post image
28 Upvotes

スプラトゥーン 味方 in Japanese means “Splatoon Teammates”

When I searched this, I found something quite interesting especially with how they seem to search or find community groups finding answers to why their teammates are bad.

Google suggested that Japanese people searched for the following in order:

  1. スプラ 味方 ゴミ 対処法: This means “Dealing with trash teammates”

  2. スプラ 味方ゴミ なんJ: “NanJ” is a Japanese forum/community site. This one says “My teammates are trash”

  3. スプラ トゥーン3 味方 ゴミ: Similar meaning to the 2nd one. This one means “Splatoon 3 Trash Teammates”

  4. スプラ 味方 頭悪い: A strong insult. This one reads “My teammates are stupid”

  5. スプラ 味方 終わってる: This one means “My teammates are useless/hopeless” Actually, 終わっている means “finished”, but taken into context, I think “useless” or “hopeless” fits the meaning of the search.

  6. スプラ 味方 弱い なぜ: This one reads “Why are my teammates weak?”

Also, 他の人はこちらも検索 means “Other people have also searched”
It looks like these recommended search results seem to be blaming one’s teammates rather than looking for a way to improve one’s gameplay or cooperate better with their teammates. I was hoping to find a search result that mentions how players could make better use of their teammates, coordinate strategies or specials, or work together more effectively.
Instead, it’s mostly about discussing or questioning why their teammates are bad…

It makes me wonder whether this reflects a common frustration with matchmaking or simply the competitive nature of the game. Of course it’s impossible to win every match we play, but it doesn’t feel right to view teammates as scapegoats whenever things go wrong. After all, it’s just a game that we’re supposed to enjoy; not something that turns us against each other.
