Which Splatoon Should I Try First?

Hi! I am a life long Nintendo gamer, but for one reason or another never got around to giving Splatoon a go. I am wondering if it is worth picking up Splatoon 3 today on Switch 2, or whether the skill ceiling is so high that I would be better off starting with Splatoon Raiders and developing skills in a single player environment before attempting traditional competitive Splatoon.

While I'm at it, any core tips for a newbie?

I wish there was a way to give kudos to other players

Sometimes I'll have a really good teammate in a match or someone on the other team was really good and I want to be able to tell them! If I end up in the lobby with them, I'll just run around them and say booyah and hope they know what I'm trying to say 🫡 Anyways. DietPepsi☆ you were a great coworker 🫶

I finished story mode, but didnt get the badge/other things.

Is it because i didnt let the credits roll?? I closed the game out before hand. I didn’t get all the kettles done, is that it?? I’m really dismayed

New player wondering how Splatfest works.

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to Splatoon and curious how Splatfest works. Is there a certain mode I need to play to earn the shells? What time does it start? What do I do with the shells earned? Thanks a lot!

Who's running the trains in Splatoon 3?

In Splatoon 3, train stations are a feature that lets you ride a train to go to Splatsville, Inkopolis Plaza, Inkopolis Square, and Order Sector. Do we have any info on which company runs it?

Is it just me or did salmon run players get worse?

Genuine question, am I tweaking or has anyone else noticed that people (or at least the randoms you get paired up with) have gotten significantly worse at salmon run? I know everyone has rough games sometimes, but either everyone I match with is having a bad game at the same time or all the competent people left after big run.

Like, I enjoyed last rotation and didn’t think it was too difficult until the modes/maps change ripped my teammates away from me. Immediately went from EVP 120 down to 10 from consecutive L’s. Everyone is constantly dying and there’s no time left and nobody can get near the basket because they’re either already dead or just got killed by the legions of salmonids around the basket. I don’t even think these rotations were that bad, but I had to stop to avoid ranking down. I just wanted ability chunks :(

Tierlist based on how annoying the weapon is

Before you judge me, (because this list is horrible) If your weapon is in a low tier, that doesn’t mean it is bad, but rather it just isn’t annoying, or I don’t see it enough to confirm it’s annoying.

Forgotten weapons (tier list didn’t have em)
- tri sloshers go in A and S
- undercovers all go in F
- douser 1 goes in C and douser 2 goes in B
- well strings go in A
- decavitators go in B
- dread 2 goes in D
- nautilus 2 goes in C or D
- .52 deco goes in A
- hydra 2 goes in C
- recycle 1 goes in D recycle 2 goes in C
- s blast 2 goes in B or something idk
- reef lux 2 goes in D
- custom blaster goes in S non skill
- custom liters, Z+F charger/scope go in S skilled
- too many unlisted weapons, im gonna stop here, sorry range, edit, pencil players, and the other ones i forgot.
- third kits aren’t on this

I’m brand new to the game, what is the best weapon to spend gold Sheldon licenses on?

I used to play Splatoon 2 a few years ago, I just opened the Splatoon 3 copy that has been sitting for like 4 years now and started playing, and there’s so many weapons that I don’t know what to spend my gold Sheldon licenses on, any advice or suggestions?

More tier lists, first one is how easy the weapon is to play with sticks, second is how fun grizzco weapons are

What is the current competitive scene of this game like?

I havent played splatoon in years mostly because I am a pc gamer and kinda grew out of nintendo, but I was watching my little sisters friend playing this game and I have the most insane itch to start playing again, but Im very much a competitive gamer and just wanted to see if the scene is active and how the player base is doing.

The final boss of Side Order is in Splatoon 2 Ancho-V Games.

I’ve never heard ANYONE talk about this, but he was right there on a poster all along. I was watching a video by chuggaconroy, and spotted it in the background. Overlorder is just chillin on a desk.

[NOT COMPLETE] Tier list ranking how easy/difficult each weapon is with stick controls

A couple points:

  1. So far, I added only weapons I’ve genuinely attempted to play (At least 1 series at S or S+ rank) and their kits

  2. The watermark in the top right is covering the Luna Blaster Neo and the 3rd kit Octobrush (Comet, starz? Idk)

  3. I use a pro controller with a button on the back that lets me jump without taking my thumb off the right stick. I only use it occasionally, but weapons that require more agility may be placed higher than they normally would.

  4. I put the brushes in S tier since they come easy to me. (My index finger sounds like a cement grinder) I am a brush main, so this is probably real biased.

  5. The next version will be FULLY COMPLETE. It will take me time to finish it, since I will probably play 1 or more series with each weapon to get a good understanding.
    At any time, I might update it however I feel like. (KARMA FARMING BABY!!!)

  6. This can either be used as a beginner’s tier list or if a stick user is looking for a new main.

  7. Critiques are well welcome, and I will respond to any and all questions in the comments.

Splatoon 3 Matchmaking

Hello, I am in dire need of suggestions for splatoon. I just got to S+ rank for the third time and everything was going well, I had a balanced X power and my rank was in the top 5000 until today, the game just decided to put the absolute worst teammates i have ever played with on my team, i lost more than 500 X power, I went from having about 1800 to now having 1300 without any wins, straight losses I am performing well in my matches but my teammates rush straight to the frontline and get splatted, as I use charger I stay in the back holding my position as the anchor, any tips, this really sucks since the matchmaking sucks, I"m currently around top 7000, my win to loss ratio is absolutely crazy. I need help.
