Bow + 96 Analysis:
Yesterday’s AREA CUP win was another victory for the Bow comp, making it a back-to-back win. However, I believe that 96 is the key piece that makes this composition so powerful, and the backline is essentially irreplaceable except for Bow.

I recently was given the new role of Org Lead for Splatoon Stronghold, it's a privilege of a role, and one I intend to give my all
I want Stronghold to enable anyone to engage with and become enriched by this game – and more importantly – by this community
Let's talk about that

I must not post a take. Takes are the mind-killer. Takes are the little-discourse that brings total obliteration. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

SplatVote is up, and the inaugural vote is tournament tiers! I've selected 18 tournaments, and I'd like players to pick whatever tiers they believe those tournaments belong to. Don't know? Skip it, it's fine. Don't wanna do all of them? Also fine!

Quick question: Do you think there’d be interest in something like a “Learn Japanese through Splatoon” series? Not sure if I’ll actually do it, but it sounds interesting to me.

Earlier this year, I said that if I didn’t get LI banned by the end of the year, I’d quit comp Splatoon and focus my energy elsewhere. I had been assigned LUTI Div9 that season, my lowest placement since starting the game and I felt like I couldn’t hit the highs I ever hit with Smash.

personal 2025 recap
- SBA continued running throughout the entire year (=228 new comp players, 48 new teams), pretty happy with that. seasons got smaller over time because of less staff availability, but that was unavoidable and honestly good because the big seasons were such a mess lol

Douser Dualies only has one dodge roll. This is balanced out by that dodge roll having a ton of end lag. This is improved by the fact that the weapon also does very little damage. However, this is remedied by the weapon’s mediocre rate of fire. Thankfully, dousers also has a very poor paint output.

We gotta normalize more private chats for people to process their emotions in rather than having all of our social media be public.
(I recommend having friends outside of the hobby who will listen to you talk about something in private if you need to do that to get your thoughts in order.)

This time on queer identity within the Splatoon community
By far one of the more staggering findings from it for me personally. We are curious to see how this compares to other communities.
