The BEST and WORST Emotes of Splatoon 3 

I realize I unfortunately missed one emote, which is "The Lowdown" from Drizzle Season 2022. I would personally put this emote in C tier. (I did include it in the final tier list but somehow forgot to actually talk about it, sorry about that)

bros mic is clearer then water istg

I think it's very tempting for every adult to put the dab in F tier. and I get it. it's cringe. But you can't deny it does the job of being infuriating to see from the losing side.

honestly what i do is whenever i unlock a new emote i just equip that one till i get a new one lmaoooo

Out of all the emotes that were released in a majority of the updates, my most favorite one is XOXO from chill season 2023. I like how the inkling/octoling blows a kiss and then smiles.

If we hypothetically get a “content extension” then I would at most want new kits for every weapon class and a weapon kit creator for private battles.

what's with the later undulator hate dude 😭😭

Sisters Style represents their dance during City of Colour.

I want to mention that in Splatoon 2 if you won with the Tenta Brella as an Inkling you would spin around the giant canopy and it was cool. But if you win with Tenta Brella in Splatoon 3 with The Square Show Off equipped you'll open this ridiculously TINY canopy that looks so weird and funny lmao it's just way too jarring.

11:08 Its the move the Squid Sisters do in City of Colour, and I will not tolerate any disrespect for them

I also love backflip atcha, it feels so good to have it play after braking everyone’s aim while rolling with dualies

I've stuck with Windmill Whip since it was available, I'm a sucker for Kamen Rider poses.

Bro I LOVE just playing. It's like you're saying "it's just a game bro" after completely dominating the enemy team 😂

the you're welcome emote is probably the biggest f you a splatoon player can get after a loss. Pair that emote with a cap, and you'll be looking like a menace to society

You're Welcome is my favourite emote, equipped it as soon as I unlocked it and haven't changed it since.

Making waves is just a meme. Its such a mum dance

Stance up being X tier is awesome because it relates to me perfectly, definitely agree with the ranking 👍

Really fun video idea, and very different when compared to your usual video topics! I definitely enjoyed

>Most of the emotes he dislikes are dance steps >only dance emotes on his like list are: Breakin, Victory Strut, Victory Twist and Roundhouse Ballerina Chase confirmed for having two left feet.

LOVE THE NEW PFP ART OMG

My X rank emotes on my opinion Spring loaded Makin' Waves Bursting out Routine Victory Squiddin' Around Bashful Brag Twirl Power Fitting Cute and aggressive looks of my octoling

I get that you say sisters style is awkward bc i think so too, but the entire emote is formed from splatoon 1 when the squid sisters preform city of color and its pretty original imo

I love the ending of the video, it oozes style

Spring Loaded is such a great emote tho it’s a lot like bursting out but with more emphasis & cute as well Would think it’d be a top tier for your OC

I do use the Dab alot and it’s one of my faverites emotes in splatoon 3 but i can see how you don’t like it

"Just my opinion." Get ready to receive a passive-aggressive letter in the mail for using the dreaded "o" word. (Great vid btw)

Cmon my favorite is Later Underlator why do you gotta dislike that AND Dualie Squelchers😭😭 my two favorite things in the game, good video tho I’m glad someone covered this topic

eyyy fellow backflip atcha fan, it's my favorite too! i don't have half of the new ones yet but these are my top 5 1. backflip atcha 2. strings attached (this is like the only spooky emote for some reason, i wish there was more) 3. spinnin salute 4. shot caller (i personally love the arm spinning) 5. honestly i love the dualie/splatana version of reppin inkopolis now that they added new ones

My favourite Splatoon 3 emote is Victory Twist. 💖

The air kicking from down rock pop is a type of breakdancing move. I’ve seen it before.

I love this video idea great one as always chase ❤

this was such a fun video! id love to hear more abt ur OC's lore sometime if u have any :3

For me, “Who’s Next” was the best emote for a long time, but once we got “Backflip Atcha”, that was instantly my soul tie emote. The backflip is so sick, and the pose gives off a dope feeling like your character going “you can’t fuck with me” and it’s perfect for my own personality.

If we're putting XOXO in S tier and crediting their ability to taunt the opposing team, you should probably at least consided bumping up Double-Cross Dab for that purpose too imo

I will always dab and no one will stop me from doing it

my favorites are "landed it", "sarcastic salute", and "MVPleased" in that order

S tier: weapon emotes F tier: everything else

I love seeing the hair clip through arms

I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS. THANK YOU CHASE

Outside of me picking the emote that best fits what my Octoling is wearing, I really love those that are dance inspired! Being a dancer myself I could even recognise what genres they're from 😅 Examples include: - double-crossed dab (hip-hop -> one of the genres at the top of my list, and yes the dab is an actual dance move, my group even used it in our performances what you gonna do about it?) - shot caller (locking -> it uses one of the most commonly known locking sequences) - Breakin' + Your move (breakdancing -> self-explanatory, I'm actually training to become a beginner bboy so bonus points.) - Robo Steppin' + Robo-flow (robot -> nice that you know your dance genres, Chase!) - Nowhere Fast (Shuffling -> my favourite genre, it uses the airwalk shuffle which is a move I do all the time when I get bored while standing!) As for "Later, Undulator" it's pretty much just a body wave. A pretty common move used in a lot of genres but I love doing it because it's so satisfying and fun! Well, thanks for reading my little dance sharing I guess 😅

The reppin inkoplis with tenta sorrella brella is bad ass

Fun fact about XOXO: If you equip the mummy bandages, the Brinestone Jacket from SR, the pink sandals with the socks, and put on the shorts, then do this emote, you are as close as you can get to Sans from Undertale in Splatoon 3.

I bet this is such an unpopular opinion bc I've gotten so much shade for this but the dab in the F tier made me like this vid immediately LMAO

I think you missed the season 1 emote where the Inkling crouches while putting their hand over their mouth!

"You're welcome" is called "at your service" in french. i think it's supposed to be sarcastic

Make your own emote tier list: tiermaker.com/create/splatoon-3-emotes-2024-17198144

I liked your tier list but got shocked with Sisters Style💥

Personally, the fact that the dab is a very dated reference is what makes it funny to me. It's always really awkward when corporations try to act like they're "hip," and putting something that was a meme a long time ago comes across as self aware of the fact that they never will be "hip." Also, it isn't the first time they've made a dated pop culture reference, so it fits in with Splatoon

I always feel really bad about equipping any of the mean emotes. It feels like salt on a wound for the enemy team

Am so happy am seeing this in youtube format instead of twitter format.

Easy Kneesy will always be my favourite emote.

card shark is my pose sinds season 1 when i saw it on RU-vid i knew i must have it like you said it took a grind but was so worth it total A rank

Dab in F Teir got me ready to run the 1s

I don't really care for showing off so the low profile of "The Lowdown" is perfect for me. Ironically, it's the one Chase forgot to mention here.

As a Martial Artist I love Stance Up

Hell yea Backflip X tier gang 🤝

8:41 this emote is nostalgic💀🇮🇹🇧🇪🇯🇵

For me I find a lot of the emotes to be okay but I either don't care for part of the animation or the end pose leaving me with few I really like/love. My favorites are Nowhere Fast, Twirl Power, Victory Strut and all 3 sets of weapon themed emotes have at least a few I love.

Dab is S tier no matter what: either you love it and it's silly and have it equipped and it's S tier. Or you hate it, find it cringe and don't want to associate with it. Then it does a phenomenal job at provoking you, also making it S Tier. My favourite is the sarcastic salute btw

I am Upperkick Crouch’s strongest soldier

8:14 Yes, yes I am actually.

Rootin Tootin is my favorite pick - I just feel like it pisses a lot of people off and I like that. Ready Stance is my second - Its smooth, and easy to farm fist bumps. Sarcastic Salute - Hand on the hip is the COOLEST thing an inkling can do idcidcidc

Somehow the only opinion I have with emotes is that I get infuriated when I see someone with making waves and I don’t know why

I use Reppin' Inkopolis, because I'm a Bamboo (charger) main and I just love the charger animation there.

I’ve been using victory strut for most of splatoon 3. I just got back into drawing and started a picture of my octoling in the end pose with her arm up ❤

you're welcome is based on frieza's pose from dragon ball, which is why its so sinister

You forgot cardshark from getting table turf level 30

My favorite emotes are Flowing Form, Rootin Tootin, Windmill Whip, and Victory twist. victory twist is a fan fave, but the other 4 are brutally underrated!!

Me when Stance Up is quite literally Brawl Mario

I like the the backflip achta a lot, it reminds me of akuma

Upperkick Crouch I use. I how it makes the characters looks like they’re like Tarzan or especially with the animal like gear

Later Underlater in the bottom tier GRRRRRRRRRR WAIT, XOXO is S, okay, I spare thee for now

Just playin' is my favoured by far, and shot-caller reminds me of those competitive yoyo guys.

I love victory strut lol, but I use square show off more because sitting on the slosher is funny

My personal favourite and the one I use is XOXO or how you write it :) I just think it's nice

7:48 I would use this emote more often if it wasn’t a low emote. I want to be able to get fist bumps but not many emotes are compatible with low emotes. Otherwise I think my personal favorite emotes would be Ready for Action, Card Sharker, Landed it, and the Dualie and Splatana versions of Reppin Inkopolis

You say that some of your favorite win emotes would fit your character best, so now I’m curious about your OC - do you have any backstory for them? Any lore? Any headcanons? Are they just a personification of you, or are they independent? And lastly, what IS their personality like? If you’ve already gone over this in another vid then dbfbdbfbfn

Sarcastic Salute is literally how i greet people irl

What’s your opinion chase on this buff for tetra 28.0 to 30.0 damage

Bro doesn't even realize the reference for Bait the Hook and Sisters Style 🫤

I like the Off the Hook emote. Been using it since I unlocked it! 😊

You’re fucked up for the squid sister emote

ripp shot caller is literally one of my favourite emotes, and makes my inkling soo sassy I love it, for me is as good as routine victory (maybe slightly worse than routine victory but that's the idea)

I agree with a lot of your picks, though spring loaded is the one that disagree with its placement the most. I think it belongs in A tier at least. My favourite emotes from each season: Drizzle 22 - No Chill Chill 22 - All Chill Fresh 23 - mvPleased (twirl power is a close second) Sizzle 23 - Roundhouse ballerina Drizzle 23 - Bashful Brag Chill 23 - XOXO (?) - I honestly don't know Fresh 24 - Routine Victory Sizzle 24 - Spring loaded (Bursting out is a close second followed by Makin waves) Miscellaneous - Bait the Hook and yeah I think the face that the Perfect Pirouette emote makes at the end ruins it for me, its ironically the one imperfection that prevents from being one of my favourite

We gotta make this a trend for all splatubers

don’t know if this is my off the hook bias talking, but Bait the Hook is my favorite emote, besides Spring Loaded, which i haven’t unlocked, but really want to

Unrelated but I hope a splatfest chould be How do you like your pasta Red sauce white sauce or no sauce

good video

Have you seen the side order emote in the order gear and youll change your mind for sure

Glad I’m not the only one who also hates the dab emote as well

Most emotes in this game are pretty Zesty if u ask me

6:14 I personally call it the octoling dance because it’s good 👍 but people are using it for the octolings then inklings and the rest I agree with you

Dang dabbing was cool in 2015 where were you splatoon 2? Also I feel old now 😔

My top 3 emotes are Sarcastic Salute,Ready for Action and Flowing Form in that order. And while I still think that The Square Show Off and Reppin Inkopolis are better than Flip Out,I still can't help but miss the variety. To me having everyone do the poses from the Inkling girl is kinda boring and lazy like where's the spice? Where's the variety? Whatever happened in the development room we may never know. And even though I love Michael Jackson to bits,I still put Nowhere Fast in high-mid A cause I felt like it was missing something but I just can't tell what it is....

11:8 Have you never seen the city of color dance?!

Perfect pirouette is like the little brother of roundhouse ballerina

he missed the lowdown 😢

Bursted out laughing at Later, Underlater and Sisters Style lol. Also glad to see most of the emotes I use are in either S or X tier 😎

Now I’m curious

I personally think the last one is really good
