read this as some strange fire emblem game abbreviation and was like "what would FE:et stand for??"

I don't think sleeping on a problem has worked even once

I should post this here maybe #compsplatoon

I'm curious, what did that statistic look like for TC in past seasons? It feels like it tends to be a more blaster-skewed mode for solo X (I don't have the data, so this is solely from personal experience, which might be incorrect)
What does it look like on other modes this season too?

share some with me

Eyed medaka eggs, they probably hatch soon?

(/j, but I find the same abstract theory that works in mons is often really good for thinking about splatoon)

Does anyone have a collection of all the written works of Splatoon competitive theory/philosophy or know of any I might miss? I'm trying to gather them myself and so far I've got Zyf's Notion pages, Infa's Doc, Fluid Roles from FLC, and I know there's got to be more. Open to just about anything

hot take but if you're posting tournament results with team names that nobody has every heard (pickups with unique names) then either just post the player names instead or post the player names after the team names because the team name alone provides literally zero information

This applies to comp splatoon too, especially with VOD reviewing/gaining something from solo play. But idk if I'm really qualified to go "this is how you should stop, think, and analyze", or what the best way to approach the topic would be.

Watching and trying to help the huge influx of people playing VGC via Champions
how to:
a.) find a good question, without tilt/bias and with the right scope
b.) research and draw info from+compile sources
c.) *then* ask other people questions or come up with conclusions
might be a good video idea?

I think it's interesting, I like seeing comparisons to other stuff (hearing people complain about USTA tennis league and people not showing up to matches or being mis-rated etc gives me LUTI vibes)

I wish people ran serious 8s or equivalent instead of killing most of the systems that tried to entirely because people were using it as an ego boost and whining about gatekeeping when it wasn't

Mega Evolution turn order in Champions is determined by number of Power Clams made by each team

A decent contributor to why there is so much burnout due to demotivation in this scene probably has to be everyone from the top down believing they’re terrible at the game.

It’s okay to be proud of what you’ve learned and the progress you’ve made after hundreds of thousands of hours!

Hi yes there may only be one day left of the steam sale but for less than 20 dollars you too can enjoy two peak games

Guys please don’t hyperfocus on MMR differences to assign losses. I cannot overstate how much it is important that you do not do this. It is informative to see people really out of their lobbies to see how the system is being strained but it is not nearly as big a deal as you think it is.
