New RambLen video! This was made days before the SQ finale, so opinions have slightly changed. I will make a new RambLen video on this topic eventually.

I used SBLAST yesterday in the SQ Major because this is what I personally feel most comfortable with, but I’d honestly recommend most people to just play small blaster. SBLAST is obviously still viable but now you basically pick the easier option if you want to and not be at a horrible disadvantage

Is JP X Rank still the better choice over NA X Rank?

It’s still kind of stupid though like why is there a mode that’s like half sweaty half unranked… we dont need a middle ground when anarchy open is already the middle ground between X and Turf

So while on my flight I watched Fire The Pyro's video on Smash ultimate's stagelist. This is such a good video that I would recommend watching first (you don't need to know much about smash to get it) but I wanted to bring it up because the issue discussed feels almost identical to the debate Splatoon has with its stage and mode formats, in fact we even use a similar solution proposed at the end of this video, so I think it helps bring some perspective to it.

The video talks about how Ultimate has a stale similar set of stages especially when compared with melees variety. However the reason for this is that the viable character matchups are so absurd in scale that the lack of variety in stages makes it more feasible as a character. Where a game like melee's more limited roster has room for that.

Splatoon used to be closer in scope to melee, but Splatoon 3 in many ways is this games version of ultimate, not only having an like 60 weapons, but having almost all of them being viable. While not as many as ultimate, being a 4v4 game also means the amount of comps you can fight are also absurd. A few weeks ago a major in Japan as won twice, the comp included 3 weapons that never won a big event before, 2 of which in the same comp. It also featured a weapon kit that was almost never used outside of specific stages on all stages. This isn't a rare occurrence, and is added to further by balance updates on an already extremely diverse meta.

At top level play, the popularity of 2 formats has dramatically increased in popularity as a result. Either being small stage-lists on all 4 ranked modes, being 4-5 stages per mode for 20-25 combinations. Or Splat Zones only on a maximum of all 25 stages. Both of these formats receive similar scrutiny especially from more casual playerbases. And while some of these factors are unique to this game, like poorer stage design. I think the large variety of options plays a factor. In fact on formats outside of zones only, weapon diversity oft…

I watched a video on smash ultimates stage selection and saw a lot of similarities between it and S3's stage/zones only discussions.

Idk how to approach splatoon rn i kinda want to grind X and scrims but i dont really want to just lock zap/shooters again i kinda want to experiment. But at that point im playing more casually and I get bored without the intensity/goals.

Flow Aura State requires you to reach 100 points to activate. In this, I will be referring to these points as flow points for ease of reading. Here is a list of things that can give you points.

 - Painting 10p grants you 0.8 flow points (0.6 flow points in Ranked modes)

 - Kills grant 23 flow points, up until 75 points in which it will grant 15. 
  - Getting another kill within 5 seconds of your last kill increases this to 43 (this changes to 35 when at 75 flow points or higher.). This can repeat (eg. getting 3 kills in a row will apply this on your 2nd and 3rd kill).
  - Killing someone with Flow Aura grants an extra 10 flow points. 
  - Getting the first kill of the lobby grants an extra 10 flow points. 

 - You or your team causing a Wipeout grants 10 flow points (stacks with kill).

 - Getting an assist grants 4 flow points. 
  - If the assist is through a damaging method specifically, this increases to 14 flow points instead. 

 - Dying causes you to lose 5 flow points.
  - If your death is by a stage hazard, this increases to 10 flow points lost.

While you can reach 100 points without getting kills, Flow Aura State will not activate until you get a kill. 

Your flow points decrease by 0.2 every second. If you have gone 5 seconds without gaining any flow points, this increases to 3.3 flow points lost per second. 
Once you have Flow Aura State, it lasts for 30 seconds. Any further kill or assist adds 10 seconds to this timer, but it caps out at 30 seconds total. 

Flow Aura State grants 30 AP (aka 3 mains) of Intensify Action, Run Speed Up, Swim Speed Up, and Ink Resistance Up. This cannot go beyond the usual cap of 57 AP.

Notably, some parameters differ in Tricolor Turf War. Below, I've bolded any values that have changed compared to normal. (I am not sure how to denote this in alt text, my apologies.)

Attackers require 90 flow points to activate Flow Aura State. Kills grant 23 points, up until 65 points in which it will grant 15. 
Getting another kill within 5 seconds of your last kill increases this to 43 (this changes to 35 when at 65 flow points or higher.)

Defenders require 110 flow points to activate Flow Aura State. Kills grant 23 points, up until 85 points in which it will grant 15. Getting another kill within 5 seconds of your last kill increases this to 43 (this changes to 35 when at 85 flow points or higher.)

Another thing to note, there are parameters for many ranked objectives that are set to 0, essentially making them go unused. I will note them below, as they could be considered in a future patch.

Painting a Splat Zone.
Breaking the enemy Clam Basket Barrier.
Depositing Clams into the enemy Basket.
Gaining points with the Rainmaker.
Breaking a checkpoint in Rainmaker.
Gaining points on the Tower.
Breaking a checkpoint on the Tower.
Trying for the Ultra Signal in Tricolor Turf War.
Obtaining the Ultra Signal in Tricolor Turf War.

tbh i like the slow stealth jump change it kinda makes sense. if youre flying across the map it SHOULD take longer. Still better than swimming.

This + aura seems to try to put a slap on the wrist of tacticooler
