Facts YOU Didn't Know About Splatoon 3 

At first I thought Deepcut saying "Catch ya later!" was a kinda lazy decision... Then I remembered everyone in this universe is a sea creature... THAT CATCHPHRASE IS GENIUS

“Wahoo world has a timer” has become the splatoon equivalent to “did you know doki doki panic is mario 2”

When you throw a curling bomb, your inkling or octoling will fist pump as it explodes, but only if you haven't moved after throwing it. What's cool is that you can rotate the camera to see the fist pump and a happy face.

Until recently, I hadn't learned that the kids in the plaza when you're offline had names and people gave them lore...

It wasn’t mentioned in this video but I said it took me so long to realize that the three king salmonids reflect the deep cut idols… shark with blue hair, eel with yellow hair, big boy with red hair… I feel like that’s not talked about a lot lol

The bumps on the ball boss in side order look like mini rice cookers and the bumpers look like soy sauce packets!

here's a kinda sad one: Sometime last year, I found out you could get on top of the shell out machine in the lobby by dropping down from the top floor. It was such a fun way to squid party with my teammates and show off that that was a place that you could go (especially since some people didn't know you had to drop down from above and tried to find some way to get there from below). I enjoyed this new discovery for maybe a month, until it was time for a splatfest and the conch shell sign stopped you from being able to stand there. Once the sign was gone, I tried get back up only to find out that THEY PATCHED IT OUT??!! For one that still exists in the game: I only recently learned that you can tell people left your team before the game shows you in the top left - if one of your teammates doesn't show up as a hologram, they probably aren't in the room with you anymore. There were so many times when I was like, "there's teammate A and there's teammate B, where is the third guy?" and then not making the connection when they left the room 10 seconds later.

guys im gonna be real, i didn't know eeltail alley and undertow spillway were different maps. i always used to think of them as eeltail alley & eel tail alley 2!!!!!! 😭

I'm not sure if many people know this, but after you kill a mudmouth in salmon run, a little salmonid jumps out from the top and falls right back down to the remains of the mudmouth. Took me almost 2 years to find this out...

I think 99% of these "facts Victoria didn’t know" are pretty much expected to be general knowledge among the core Splatoon fanbase, but Im willing to be proven wrong.

6:31 I found that out THIS YEAR cause I wanted to go undercover as a noob with the default banner and no badges!

One I just figured out: on the run summary screen in Side Order, if you move the right joystick it’ll rotate your Agent 8 model.

Taught my friend how to skip the news in s3. Her joy and excitement was funny yet satisfying

I didn't know Eliter was a gas pump for EIGHT YEARS. I thought it was an air compress Canon XD

Back when splatoon 2 launched the introduction dialogue to the hub said something like "grizzco seems kind of fishy. I'd think twice about going there" so I just didn't play salmon run for like a year

It took me until my sister pointed it out to me about a month ago to realize the pun in Ska-Blam’s naming. To be fair, that very same sister played this game for A WHOLE YEAR and didn’t know the maps were named after fish and sea creatures

Back in S2 for a lot of players: Startup rng, the first few shots of a shooter are more accurate before decreasing to its full spread. It has always been a mechanic and I'm sure a lot of people unconsciously knew its existance on shooters but it was during the patch they made it better that a lot of people openly realized it was a proper mechanic in splatoon.

You can squid roll from play to mini pole on barnacle rw. Edit: the super jump is actually based on your form. Because of the transformation from squid to kid, it’s faster when you’re already a squid.

For the longest time I didn't realize that the lifesaver on your back in Salmon Run is actually an ink tank 😭

4:31 I'm in S+ and this.... man, so many people don't realise this and it makes me mad when they don't paint the map!

1:00 wow, if i had a nickel for every time a humanoid cepholapod had to enter a kitchen-centric machine to go somewhere, I'd have two nickels. not a lot, but weird that it happened twice, right?

When the Tri-Stringer was first shown, I didn’t really like it because I thought a basic bow wasn't very Splatoony. But then I realized that it's made from a fishing rod, and the "arrows" are frozen ink popsicles that "pop" to deal damage. So that's actually the most Splatoon thing I've ever seen and I main stringers now🥰

4:53 GARFIELD SPEAK TO ME

When you use a charger (at least in Splatoon 1) the sound of your opponent getting splatted isn't coming from an inkling. It's an audio file for the charger specifically so you can hear when you hit someone from far away. You can hear the Woomy splatted sound baked into the end of the sfx track named Splat Charger on the Splatune CD.

this is probably more obscure but i didnt realise until recently that sashimori, one of the bands, has a mascot thats literally just a ball of wasabi named Wasabi. it was designed by the band's drummer

My knee jerk reaction whenever someone mentions the Wahoo World timer: Did you know Wavebreaker has contact damage? (I first found out playing CJr. when it first came out and accidentally threw a Wavebreaker onto a Dapples with low health, splating them.)

When I first started playing I mained the basic roller, and until a couple of months ago I didn’t understand what the big bubbler does 💀

The gibberish Shiver always says at the start of the splatcast sounds like "get the crowd moving" to me, which really fits them announcing battle stages

3:05 I (tri stringer main) throw toxic mist at the crate. No spin jump for you :)

In the splatoon 3 version of Manta Maria, you can launch onto and ink the small hanging boat by spawn

It took me eighteen months to realise that 'Gone Fission Hydroplant' is a pun on 'Gone Fishing'. I exclusively play Salmon Run, I was so embarrassed.

Thanks for these amazing fun facts!!!!! They are nice detail that make me love Splatoon 3 even more now!!!! Also, Happy 4th Of July to you VicVillion!!!!

You know at the start of a Rainmaker match, when it says "MAKE IT RAIN" on the screen? Well... this is so dumb... I used to think the goal of the Rainmaker mode was to literally make it 🌧️🌧️🌧️

I may or may not have a Wahoo world timer moment on my twitter/X account... let me quote it here. "Did you know? Battering Lento will actually try to target and break a Wave breaker special that you put down. I only found this out like 5 minutes ago on my Luna blaster Side Order run." Whoopsie.

The secret that I didn't realize is that if you go down into the area that has two crash patches in each corner there's a creepy noise if you go near the two patches of grass

wait at 7:34 did you notice the crab tank and the big bubbler on the canned special from splatoon 2?

You know that the wahoo world bridge moves in or out every 30 seconds? Much more useful than having to go near the timer.

Since I skipped Splatoon 2, I honestly keep forgetting the dodge rolls on the Dualies are even a thing. And I learned this one because of another game, the .52 Gal is based on a grenade launcher. There's a real life weapon that's shorthanded to the "Cal". (Learned that cause of Persona 5 of all games)

I found out that inkling is a real word because it was a question on the Pennsylvania State Assessment. I’m dead serious.

For months, I didn’t realize the flying things we jump from when spawning are expresso machines lmao

You know those little poems that come with mem cakes? Each line is 8 syllables

I literally didn't find out until YESTERDAY that sanitized ink was blended up octoling test subjects prior to agent 8...

7:04 2 years ago I learned that inkling was a real word while reading a dialogue in a book named A Wrinkle In Time. It was a conversation between two characters and suddenly one says "Not even an inkling" and then I had to search for the definition.

I didn't know the Wellstring was based on a well until people on Twitter pointed it out...... oops

I only realized recently that the torpedo actually shoots out mini bombs when it explodes. I’ve always thought that the secondary explosion was just delayed.

Did you know the triumvirate wave badge is seen on the salmon run level up bar background and a bunch of salmon run maps, it also references the deep cut logo which might be a hint to final fest big big run

Pretty Much every weapon in Splatoon is based off of something, like glooga dualies being glue guns, the squeezer being a champagne bottle, the splatana wiper being a windshield wiper, etc.

7:56 I only realised the ammo knights pun when talking to a friend who has not played splatoon

I always knew there was a timer I just ignored it bc I only spawn camp

4:31 I kinda just that random clams would have a chance to be highlighted honestly but this is really good to know

3:38 it took me 7 years to realise this, didn't realise it till like shortly before Splatoon 3 came out

It took me until THIS YEAR to find out in 1 that when you throw a splat bomb into the basketball hoop in the weapon test area it has a little visual effect and your inkling says one of the booyah voice clips

Ok the Clams thing got me. I didn't know they were only highlighted when they are your ink color.

It took me around 2-3 years of maining dualies to learn that they have a Turret mode. I NEVER KNEW THIS SOMEHOW. 😭I'm not the brightest fish in the sea

I always thought off the hook's catchphrase at the end of the news was a fishing reference.

Thank you for these info!

In a similar note to the potential InkJet pun. A few months back I realized CrabTank could also be a pun like a Tank (aquarium) of crabs. 🤔

In octo expansion, the flip phone that cuttlefish owns has the squid sisters as kids as a wallpaper

THE SBLAST HAS A LASER WHAT!?!??!?!?!

I don’t know that if you got enough clams in clam blitz, it would become the big football

As a Hydra main, I am so ashamed that I didn’t know splattling was splat Gatling. But yes, I was aware of it being a fire hydrant.

Fun fact: there is a green wavelike overlay in salmon run that shows up before a wave that you the height of the tide. The higher the wave overlay the higher the tide.

You know the stairs up to the battle tower in the splat 3 plaza? If you manage to hit it just right you can jump from the stair railing in the middle to the cement block thing on top. (This isn't the only jump though, there are some in the maps as well that I have made on accident)

It took me until I started playing Splatoon 3 that I realised branded weapons had the same properties like fire rate/distance as the regular version of that weapon, just with different subs and specials 😂😭

Less of an actual Splatoon realization, but still related: about 6 months ago I realized that the one race theme from fall guys (fall n roll) actually uses the one octarian burp instrument (electro tuvan) thing used in a lot of the Turquoise October music! (Found at the 0:41 second mark in the song) It’s not used in any other song in the game. it’s really muffled out by other instruments too, which leads me to believe it was actually an intentional inclusion 🤣

I never knew that ink resistance makes you move faster on enemy ink instead of protecting you from enemy ink like from splatoon 1😔

8:23 you dont save time when you're in ink, you just have to be in squid form ^^

I honestly thought this was going to be another one of your funny joke videos. But you had some cool facts even I didn’t know. Nice going Vic

I did know a lot of these things *by now*, but instead of just bragging, I'll share my big one from 2015: it took me months to realize that there is a special meter on screen. When I first started playing Splatoon I would just press in my right stick whenever I wanted my kraken, and just hoped it was ready. I still struggle with indicators like glowing tentacles and the ink tank being empty, which change the character model. I still don't know whether or not glowing tentacles are visible on other players during matches. I call it "UI blindness"

I still remember the shock when I realized the timer in ranked starts to lose its color when you go into Overtime, as a way of indicating how much OT is left.

I remember we needed the definition of inkling in class one time so everyone googled it and they finnialy understood what the silly game about squids and octopie was about

8:32 I did a recording of my super jump holding and not holding ZL, in and not in my own ink, and then checked the frames in Premiere Pro, doesn't seem to have the "faster" jumping effect as mentioned. Perhaps there are other factors involved, e.g., the time of pressinig X and then down arrow quickly.

I somehow already knew all of them. Some of you realy need to look at menus, buton prompts or pratice in the training area or in recon somtimes cause i would be ashamed of myself.

Silly fact murch’s phone is cracked since he’s a teenager lol

when i first bought the game i noticed the huge screen in the lobby had a charging port then i realized that it was a giant switch and now its a fact that i tell everybody regardless of if they knew that or not

I did not know until very recently that squid beacons hide your landing spot as if you were using s1 stealth jump. The effect ends as soon as the beacon is destroyed and I always broke them quick so I just didn't figure it out.

For me ITS Just little Details Like how the squids blink and how the ink Sticks To your Shows after you walked through IT and leaves Footprints. Also, the egg throw has a small 100 damage hitbox on the inkling

I didn't know about the wahoo world timer thing till now

I didn’t know that the second kit of a weapon was just its sub and special being different, I thought it was like a better weapon but I was shocked when I found out after playing for like a month.

How bout’ this, did ya know that the room above Pearl and Marina got a redesign in Splatoon 3 in Inkopolis Square.

I just found one today, Luna Blaster is a hair dryer I always just thought it was a cool space gun but it's actually a cool space hair dryer gun

Ohhhh that’s what the weird wall decal in the lobby is😂

WAHOO HAS A TIMER?!?!?!

The Callie fact has me in shambles.

When i first played splat 2, it was the 2020 special demo and i thought pearl kidnapped marina and made her do the news

I somehow never new that the reeflux could 1-shot

I learned that in order to reload, the ink canister on the weapons are removed, filled with ink, and reattached to the weapon. Example being the twist off cap on the splattershot What's going on in gameplay is not the same as in universe

The nautilus numbers have meaning. 47 is the atomic number of silver, and 79 is the atomic number of gold.

I remember figuring out the clam one in splatoon 2!

For the Eeltail spawn bridge, idk who, but someone made a short youtube video that was going to analyse (or analyze) the release date trailer for Splatoon 3 (how has it been 2 years already), but instead the whole time they focused on the grate bridge at spawn for the whole 30 seconds (except for the part where they say like thanks for watching and all that).

4:11 I also found out not TOO long ago that this also applies to your opponents, but only if your ink is still on them. Once they fully heal their icon will disappear from the map Oh and you can see your opponent's squid beakons on the map (Just now realized that it's spelled "BEAKon" because some squids have beaks...)

I SEE BALLPOINT NOUVEAU MY MAIN RECEIVES SOME LOVE FOR ONCE??

i remember in splatoon 2 you could paint the trees but it wouldnt count

Am I the only one who genuinely didn’t know about the wahoo world timer until hearing about the meme 😭

I did not realize that you can use Zipcaster to get on walls you cannot swim up!

why did i actually not know about wheel's superjump discovery

5:39 ONG I WERE THE SAME HACKER JAKET THE HEADGEAR THE BOOTS ARNT MINE I WERE PEARLS OYESTERS

Me looking down at the video: WAIT this was only two hours ago!??!!

0:15 2:17 I feel special already knowing about this

Wahoo World has a TIMER??? NO WAY!! /j
