Mahi Is A GOOD MAP? Give E-LITER BURST BOMB? 

I love these videos

where is the vid where you talked about the maps?

Heads up, you have some scam comments in this video impersonating you.

Hey, just thought you should know, someone impersonating you replied to my other comment trying to scam me

@@ZCyberFawkes aware they multiply faster then I can ban them unfortunatly but am removing rn. Its all bots

Yeah there was no reason to change it

The central area is too small and the match ends really fast rainmaker mode

"Mahi mahi should've been like the version in splat 1 where it was good"

recently been playing splat 1, and Mahi is an entirely different stage in comparison. there’s so many islands, mid is huge and has some really good extensions on each side and there’s little secret spots like the small ramped grating area near spawn that opens up when the water drops and an isolated island that acts as both decent cover and a high ground. i faced top level JP E-liters but at the same time there was so much cover and incredible approach options that i could just avoid them entirely

Yeah seriously why did they have to ruin every single stage?? There used to be stages I was actually excited for when I saw them, but now in 3 the best I can do is hope for one of the few stages that aren't terrible.

Someone needs to make a vid where rhey go back to the old maps and notes the differences from then and now. All the maps in splat3 feel lifeless and idk how to describe why

@@citrusblast4372Hinestly, the maps aren’t even that bad.

That still doesn't justify making the stages horrible...

Unfortunately, if that's the case, then it's severely backfiring, since these simple maps hurt newer/ less experienced players more than veterans. For an example: Chargers are a high skill weapon to use, and are currently one of the most oppressive weapons in splat 3, due to the poor map design. If the maps had flanks, then newer players could more easily get around the charger without being spotted, and could even attempt to contest them with a flank. Without flanks, they just have to basically stop playing the game, until they get their special, and hope it can displace the charger long enough to push back.

It doesn't fit with the theme of Chaos. There should be multiple routes

@@bluetoad6848 this exactly. i'm pretty sure their intention WAS to simplify maps, but simplifying maps doesn't have to come at the cost of downscaling and getting rid of flanks. a lot of the splat 3 maps would actually be perfectly approachable with better flank routes! plus, flanking and getting around the enemy team is a very basic part of the game's progression and one that the game should be teaching new players.

@@bluetoad6848 I mean I think it is the reason and yeah, it also forces more fights and spawncamping at lower levels which ive seen complaints about

What about the Sheldon/Shoal test zones?

@@dropfish3109 those are technically just extra lobbies so i think they work the same way

@@goatsfluffy8254 “i think”

@@dropfish3109 if you care so much just go test it

tenta missile painting already does not count toward your next special. the problem is that painting you do with your main and sub weapons does count towards your special before your missiles even landed.

Squid School teaches and talks about splatoon, often very thoroughly and gives a lot of insight and the channel is growing fast. I'd recommend to check that out if you are interested

Thank you I appreciate the compliment

We're not complaining about the water (except in tc)! We're complaining about the lack of options and the scale of the map itself.

People fall on water because the mid is too small to even move until it reaches the 2nd phase. I would rather fall in Splatoon 1 Mahi Mahi and would be my fault than Splatoons 3 variant where you can easily spawncamp with 0 flank options

I wish the game didn't consider you splatted when you fell into water/off the stage. Taking half the amount than a normal splatting does is still punishing but not executingly painful.

@@ZlueTheDragon honestly in turf war the 2 small water holes in mid before water drops is so annoying. I know turf war isn’t supposed to be competitive but I just wish the map design in that mode isn’t even worse than it is in others

@@SJrad idk why they added the 2 holes there, reefslider is basically a death sentence if you aim at the wrong angle.

Fair there I could totally see it working in Salmon

Fr splashdown has helped me so much in salmon, and it’s in the singleplayer so why not have it in SR!

Nintendo: Your wish is granted we added back in Salmon run and multiple with now to 👊 👊

I disagree. Angle Marker needs the trip wire to do a minor amount of damage. However, I think the Mist and Sensor should be fused.

Thank you!! Glad to know that someone has the same thought as me

@@Inhaledcorn that was my thought... we can hope the two "almost good debuffs" can get this treatment.

Agreed

Due to its arc, being able to throw Point Sensors over walls is one of its biggest strengths. I'd hate to lose that.

or just any backline weapon, honestly. they always give backliners point sensor, mist, beacon, sprinkler, or mine and honestly yeah it fits the weapon but at the same time it would be cool to have an explosher kit with a bomb so it could defend itself

@@Fridgemasters I would trade missiles on flingza for a bomb lol, mine just doesn't help it that much. I guess it'd make it ultra ink hungry but it's nice to be able to actually deny space in an effective way. With the way the maps are right now you can't even be flanked a lot of the time so using mine as a flank warning is almost useless...

Yeah same position and I agree. Playing eliter would be more fun if the maps were more dynamic and I actually had to think more instead of just covering all of mid for free. The burst bomb would allow some nice counterplay to getting dived though because eliter is so slow that on more open maps that would become a large issue for it.

As a new and casual player to S3, they failed lmao

It's pretty difficult when they all have to be symmetrical. But I do see where you're coming from. Stuff like Saltspray Rig and Skipper Pavillion are really fun because they use the required reflection in a different way than most. I also personally like stages that utilize varying heights and elevation, like Moray Towers or Flounder Heights(which I'm excited is coming back). I also love stages that give a whole smorgasbord of path options, like Kelp Dome and Camp Triggerfish. On the other hand though, stages with designated large open areas like Blackbelly Skatepark and Piranha Pit are really fun too. To be honest, I feel like the outline of a stage has less to do with its enjoyability. I think what they do with the idea and how they make it unique is what matters most.

@@cobwebinthecorner Moray praise is not something I thought I'd hear. Even if I flaunt my Charger skills, I don't think I'd like it. You're a dead man if you're in mid and it's very linear in terms of strategy. It had a flank route or two so it's got something over 3 but that's not saying much since 3 managed to make the supposedly better stages worse than Mako

That game really had good maps like Snapper Canal and Manta Maria.

Duude as a splat2 player I find myself missing the maps in splat2 when I play 3, like the Manta, Reef, Skipper pav, etc. there were so many places to go and the maps felt much bigger compared to 3.. well, hopefully that will change.

I just liked to walk around in Recon to look at all the nice scenery and liveliness of stages. I try to do it now but there's... really nothing to look at.

Yeah I have it too but I don’t wear it

@@SJrad Ditto!

I have it also

The point is that people KNOW its really good, and don't want it again. It was INFAMOUS.

I've gotta practice this combo cuz ain't no way..

I think many people think this cause tri-stringers main use it to apply pressure to the enemy team with charged arrows, not exactly for painting or splatting. I think the reason why they don’t have charge hold for tri stringer is because it has the charged arrows, while reef Lux doesn’t, as it’s supposed to be a more mobile weapon

Stringer is incredible, people just dont understand it yet. If u wanna see what I mean, check out Nbound's tips and montages, he's really the only stringer pioneer on youtube right now, and he's amazing

LISTEN TO HIM HES TOUCHED GRASS!

If we will have good map

Hot take: give e-liter burst bomb but give it a close range special (ex: crab, reef, vacuum)

@@kaden7466 nah bro eliter with burst bombs and crab perfect kit right there

@@glamrockmicrowave yeah and op, probably. I don't play eliter

@@sylent1 well it would work well because crab still has long range pressure like the liter but it has great survivability plus burst bombs aren;t as broken for it as a lot of people say so yeah it's pretty balanced

If you want to be a real Splat Bomb fiend, then combine Sub Power Up with Last-Ditch Effort and you can also spam Splat Bombs more often. Don't forget the Big Three sub abilities: Ink Resistance Up, Intensify Action, and Sub Defense Up.

@@DaDoc540 I haven't spent any chunks atm, so I just have what I have and just got a million sub ups for some reason. Main three are LDE, ninja squid, and the less visible super jump one. Like I genuinely have like 5 or 6 sub up XD. Ultimately I'm trying to build a slayer for splatana stamper, so I'm going to need a ton more swim speed. Though Tentatek Shot in the new update looking pretty good too ngl...

I mained Gold Naut in Splat2 (behind Grim) and while I was disappointed that its current Splat3 kit is less aggressive, I've grown to love it and it has great uses. Not a huge fan of point sensor on it, though it does have its uses, but inkstorm is really nice for naut!

I actually like Ink Mines on E4K with a main or two of ink saver sub, dropping two mines then wave breaker then another mine or two is a great way to escape flankers imo, and if you set up mines beforehand as well you can just tap-shot them. You don’t even really need someone to peel for you, a lot of the time.

@@JamUsagiis having 2 ink saver sub that big of a difference? I kinda feel dumb now for not thinking of that haha.

@@novinovi- Ink saver sub makes a huge difference for most damaging subs. It makes subs a LOT more usable in more situations since you don’t have to worry about having an empty tank after using them, and you can use a second one much quicker since A. You used less ink on the first one, and B. The fill-line is lower for the second one. I usually have 6 sub-slots of it on any weapon with a damaging sub (except angle pointer), and that’s enough for most sets. I’m pretty sure it also has an increased effect with Ink Mines.

@@JamUsagi ok so that’s why ink mines were such a pain, thx so much I gotta try that. I focused so much on my ink saver main I didn’t even consider lol. Also yeah angle pointer is just 💀

Reef can destroy bombs now after the balance patch

@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 oh really cool why was it not like that at launch. They can still bomb your end lag or just shoot you lol

It is

Except it's not. Explosher is just better when it comes to sitting back and painting endlessly. Blob is also super reactable at long range so it needs to play aggressively but nobody ever does.

@@harmless9336 I'd agree if it weren't so slow and ink-consuming

@Aacro X it gets out 12 shots without any saver so it isn't ink hungry like a brella. I mostly run triple swim speed up to get around its slowness as it doesn't need to be stealthy if it can get up in people's faces in half a second.

I’m an eliter main and people act like we’re “overpowered etc” only people who learn to aim with a sniper are good, people who put in effort and practice yet there is not as much hatred when with a braindead weapon becomes broken and dominates.

@@novinovi- its such a ridiculous argument too because we can only kill as fast as we can charge but something like a trislosher can teamwipe in the time it takes to charge a single eliter shot and that's perfectly fine for some reason

@@softy5447 exactly, yet we are the ones everyone complains about being overpowered-

I'm not worried about eliter getting burst bombs at all, them taking the time to throw a bomb is less time charging up a snipe me. The weapon itself isn't even OP, the maps make it really strong. Also, eliter players get shit on cuz they slow the game down/most people find them unfun to fight against

Also salmon run fish fly makes me want to unexist

Eh, flingza already has fantastic burst paint. So the shooter would need SOME variety of excellent upside. They give it to a gal (52 OR 96), splattershot, or jet its all over though

Why would they ever need to bring them back??

@@anstupid4093 They don't but it's fun thinking of reworks for terribly designed specials.

You mentioned Splatoon 1's bubbler, so I'm sure you're aware that it sounds basically like you want the regular bubbler back. The Splashdown idea though really just sounds like Splatoon 1's Inkstrike, but you are the missile instead. I'd be down if Splashdown worked like that tbh since it would still give you a risk (as compared to Splatoon 1's Inkstrike where you could launch it from spawn and be completely safe), but I don't think Ink Armor would be good in any form tbh. The big reason why invincibility and armor-based specials were removed from Splatoon 3 is that it can completely ruin weapons with low damage output's ability to splat enemies. For example, a weapon with low damage (say 25 dmg per hit) would now have to hit 6 shots instead of 4 to kill because of armor's 30hp. Specials like the Splatoon 1 Bubbler and Kraken can't be killed, basically forcing you to run away due to your inability to protect yourself from them. The Baller in 2 was partially invincible, but it had health and knockback, so you could still counter it, and they can't shot you while in the baller. Splatoon 3 is actually really nice in terms of most of the specials because support specials don't offer the same invincibility that older specials had, letting the lower damage/support weapons not be completely outclassed. Big Bubbler gives you an area of temporary invincibility, but can be countered by destroying the shield or entering the shield and attacking from within. Some specials still give you armor, but they can still be countered or avoided, and most of those force you to give up your movement (like some parts of Reefslider and most of Booya Bomb). I'm rambling, but here's the TL;DR: Ink Armor just isn't really healthy for the game regardless of implementation. Ink Armor alone changes how competitively viable some weapons are due to how it changes the shots required to splat opponents. Armor still exists in the game in certain scenarios, but letting people activate armor at any time can make it hard for weapons to stand a chance against them. The Splashdown idea could work, but Ink Armor should stay as a part of respawning and certain specials instead of being a thing usable wherever and whenever.

I think its way to wide open with no safe route to close the distance to an eliter or hydra

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHABHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHBABAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Backliners.

One of Major issues with reffslider is the end lag after the explosion. That needs to get less lag and then I would agree

@@logangomes2922 it's also a great escape option
