i wish side order was actually nice to roller users
#Splatoon 3
hidden spindle
it's kind of insane how horrible the range is for the roller
for certain splat zone maps i was quite literally unable to hit and kill the drizzling enemies from below
steel pivot
yeah i had a lot of trouble with my roller run
especially on the splatzone one where you're trying to deal with flying and bomb enemies
does anyone else kind of dont like how the gliding works?
steel pivot
there was one floor where the danger turned it off, and it felt a little liberating
its weird because in the hub area you activate it by holding down jump
but on the floors you just dont touch anything
(dev diary spoiler)
stoic delta
yeah
hidden spindle
it's so obvious
i hate that you have to apply 5 chips in a pallete to unlock pearl dialogue
it's very annoying
when the chips are like
Random
hybrid cedar
You can mitigate it by making floor resets and vending machine resets really cheap
hybrid cedar
Same exact 5 chips
The chip has entries for Pearl if and only if you have 5 of the chips put in a single run
hidden spindle
yeah
A Single Run
it. already feels kinda difficult with the fact that prlz are like
i have never accumulated more than 400 prlz
i'm not mad at that, i can enjoy having to be smart with what hack i choose
but i think 4 lives is like 300 prlz
stoic delta
prlz as in pearls
steel pivot
Yeah i get it now
hidden spindle
but yeah i only have a like. the first vending machine hack and the second floor reset one
steel pivot
Man this is so obvious now
hidden spindle
marina made the memverse ... ofc the currency would be pearls
hidden spindle
i tried to at least jumpstart every hack first
and get the cheaper ones out of the wag
now i'm just trying to invest in lives and maybe weapon damage increase
steel pivot
Ideally you should invest in min maxing
steel pivot
Investments that will lead to getting chips of the same tone
hidden spindle
oh well i do have all the color chip bias hacks unlocked
steel pivot
So you can do things like reverse engineering the grizzco blaster
hidden spindle
but yeah that vending machine one is gonna be my friend
steel pivot
You should also do the reset one
hidden spindle
So you can do things like reverse engineering the grizzco blaster
how do i do that
steel pivot
Like i said just try to get chips of the same tone, but in that case you would want to get power chips, especially the firing rate one
steel pivot
Also each palette has certain tone biases
hidden spindle
ahhh okay so that's how you did it
covert hound
I immediately invested it in lives and continues
a few lives, damage reduction, and then started working on color chips so i can get 5 in one run
hidden spindle
i also unlocked the risky hack
but. i kinda don't wanna ever do that because this game is anti-roller friendly
on my second roller run i died to order like 6 times
i literally do not know what went wrong but that fuckin reefsliders and sting rays were like
so annoying
and enemies did not stop spawning from the tectacle portals
it just went so wrong LOL
hybrid cedar
use risky rewards on a palette you are comfortable using
hidden spindle
it would have to be a gun
hidden spindle
i'm gonna go at it again tonite
and try out all of the techniques discussed here
i expected to be playing this a lot until i get Everything but yeah it would defo be more productive to do this with a weapon i like LOL
hybrid cedar
for me i am getting every weapon
tho i havent played in days cause i got too busy
but i have like 3-4 left
hybrid cedar
i literally do not know what went wrong but that fuckin reefsliders and sting ra...
oh yeah these are the worst attacks
for both you just have to be constantly moving about. The reefsliders are at least easier to avoid cause you can ride a rail and just pearl drone for the most part until he's done
hidden spindle
yeah but that sting ray ...
if it breaks the armor it's wraps
i didn't realize how it stacks up dammage so quickly
steel pivot
Yeah you need to just swim away
So you need to make sure you have ink on the ground for an escape
hidden spindle
yeah that's what i learned
hybrid cedar
To escape the sting ray i jist inked ground, swam, then repeat if there was no ink on the ground
Works well enough even when i was using something like a charger
frigid meadow
Tbh for the stingray I just went in circles
Didn't matter where the portal was. It was more important that I stay alive

Should we be marking Side Order things as spoilers?
hybrid cedar
things like final boss maybe
but also it's been long enough i think it's fine but idk
steel pivot
things like the dev diaries, especially the images
hybrid cedar
just beat side order with all weapons
including ||Eight's palette||
God it's finally over
I am free from hell
||I went for all hacks I had so I could only get a max of 6 chips||

||I only had 4 but man i think having more couldve helped out more||
hollow summit
to celebrate mar10 day i am finally booting up splatoon again to do the big run
hidden spindle
do i have to beat order in order to have the chip descriptions save
like i maxed out two chips but i don't really wanna fight order again
so can i just give up
wait that won't be very helpful
i need prlz
hollow summit
i forget if i mentioned this back when i played the game more, but
i feel like im Really Unusually bad at king salmonids
like, obviously they're hard, and they're supposed to be. but looking at my grizzco stats: i have played 262 shifts of salmon run, and i have beaten One king salmonid. and that was Yesterday, with the grizzco weapons
hybrid cedar
Sometimes the conditions you fight them in are unfavorable
High tide spawning grounds?
Good luck fighting king salmonids on that
frigid meadow
Yeah seriously sometimes there's just no room to fight
And the boss combos just don't work sometimes
hidden spindle
king salmnoids are just difficult to fight
especially if your teammates are shit
i haven't played much splatoon in a while, but i think out of all my salmon runs, i've only beaten like. 3 king salmoids
maybe 5 ?
hollow summit
i should note most of my splatoon playtime was before horrorboros
so almost all my attempts have been specifically against cohozuna
ive vaaaaguely heard that cohozuna is the hardest of the three, but I feel like it would be the easiest With Randoms, because it takes the least coordination. since theres no weak point to target. the other two strike me as varying degrees of Glowflies Moment where you are in way worse shape without the ability to communicate
hybrid cedar
Everything i said also applies to the other two cause like all these king salmonid fights are rarely in your favor if ever
hidden spindle
yeah
you can have a stellar run but completely drop the ball at the king salmonoid fight
hollow summit
this might be my Return To Splatoon arc. even though i didnt even buy the DLC
ive been at profresh 2-3 for so long. its time to finally push for eggsecutive
hidden spindle
ahh, eggsec ... my home

and maintain my C or whatever in ranked cause i never play it lmao. only turf and salmon run for me
hidden spindle
i only started playing again because of side order
i don't think i wanna play online again lol fortnite is like

splat zones is the only fun ranked mode to me. and its just turf war but small

but i must be one of the only people to say "i dont think clam blitz is so bad; because i dislike the other ranked modes the same amount" fhjksdhkfs
hidden spindle
i'm a clam blitz defender
i actually like moray towers a lot
my partner thinks i'm fucking insane for it
hollow summit
if anything I think clam blitz is better than rainmaker. you get to keep your weapon and your subs and stuff
hidden spindle
rainmaker is fine
i think it's horrible when your teammates suck and forget the fucking POINT OF THE GAME
it's like tower control
people think ranked is just an all out brawl but forget there is an actual objective
i hate it when fuckers have like, insanely high kills in a match but we lose because they were not protecting the rainmaker/tower and instead wanted to go fight everyone else
hollow summit
they did Not learn the lesson from octo expansion ‼️
i remember going OHHHHHHH when i realized "oh you're not supposed to push Literally Exclusively with the rainmaker itself. you're supposed to make a path with regular weapons that ink normally"
hidden spindle
yeah
sometimes you'll be forced to make that path but teamwork in rainmaker will make or break your match
wooden briar

I don't play ranked either, just turf and salmon run lol

I’ve probably played close to 1000 shifts and am at Profreshional rank, yet I’ve only defeated 5, all Cohozunas, and at least 1 was with a Grizzco weapon.
I did come very close to defeating Megalodontia once, but time ran out right before its health hit 0
Not sure if that helps, but yeah, they are very difficult to beat
wooden briar
My tips:
Don't stray too far from the king salmonid or your teammates
Remember that you can ohko any boss salmons with the egg cannon
If you don't see anything to do immediately, remember you can dps the king salmonid
Also I made this fake image for the spring fest
hidden spindle
i know this one
it's fucking awful

it's still better than Cruel_Sisyphean_Eight-Shaped.floor

it's still better than Cruel_Sisyphean_Eight-Shaped.floor
ranking the "two zone on opposite sides" challenges (difficulty varies between weapon):
- Ping-Ponging_Double_Hill.Floor
- Cruel_Sisyphean_Eight-Shaped.Floor
- Coverage(Between-Crosshairs).Floor
hybrid cedar
the other 2 were fine when i got them
still challenging but didnt feel, well, sisyphean
Cruel_Sisyphean_Eight-Shaped.Floor is just a level i will actively avoid
silk jolt
i mostly aim for the goal, and focus on the drizzling enemies
might choose the level, if i got the right chip buffs for my weapon
though i would avoid the "danger" version
hybrid cedar
i do all that but it still ends up messing me up
like going after the drizzling enemies is simple but when everything is dogpiling you because of rigorous difficulty, lots can go wrong

If I ever play side order again it will probably be to do a no hacks luna blaster run since its my favorite weapon
livid pendant
That was the first pallet I completed Side Order with, and I barely use blasters since many of them are too slow!

luna blaster is a good first weapon for side order
and it can become a beast when you invest rapid fire into it

except i had my super chumps, so i won
i also swapped to (open) matches instead of (pro)
pretty sure team present has pro on lock
this is how i'm coping, by living a 2nd life on splatfest open matches
glacial bobcat
The open/pro thing is so confusing
I think Splatfests kinda suck to play in 3
Between the tricolor matches (which I hate) and the fact that with there being three options it makes you less likely to win it's just yeah whatever
obtuse anchor
oh yeah for sure
glacial bobcat
The options themselves are way worse too
obtuse anchor
always a "right answer" with 3 teams
glacial bobcat
Well I wouldn't say always it's just there's often a lack of options that I feel strongly about
obtuse anchor
open and pro are weird titles since it just means you can team up via invites and/or keep playing with the same team in open
glacial bobcat
Like???
obtuse anchor
and for pro its pure random matchmaking and you cant stay with your team after either outcome
glacial bobcat
Can't believe they lead with this it's so dumb

yeah they take you to somewhere different for the splatfest
the vibes are immaculate here, def preferred how it was before the 2nd half splatfest phase transition but thats just how it is now that they're performing the last song and they had everyone gather in one spot
gonna miss it all things considered
splatfests in general too, they make you feel something you almost cant get anywhere else
last >3 hours left..

LMAOOO i disconnect One Time and the game goes "hey, remember how you had bad internet when you played this like A Year Ago? splatoon 3 doesnt forget. ten minute ban, idiot"
thats something ive always hated about this game. if you get disconnect penalties, to the best of my knowledge, the game will Literally Never let that penalty cool down. you're marked For The Rest Of Your Days
obtuse anchor
yeah, like, you're not my parents splatoon 3
this is why i stopped playing yesterday, i disconnected like twice towards the end of two different heated matches
all i could say was sorry team
its like instadisconnects too
its weird cuz i remember when the game would not disconnect you right away and at least tried to reconnect you first
switch 2 save me
hollow summit
i really havent been keeping that close a watch on Splatoon Goings-On but it would be tremendously funny for team past to win
splatoon officially endorses Rejecting Modernity and Embracing Tradition. no, it's not a dogwhistle, it's a squidwhistle

I think splatoon 3 was so close to being amazing. Yeah it didn’t really add much band wise but it still felt new. The story mode and side order were amazing. The only thing that I felt was holding the game back was definitely the season mechanic. I feel like the stages and weapons could’ve been better with out the season mechanic. In the whole picture, it’s a really good game but i feel like it could’ve been more

and here we are
good luck splatoon 4!
glacial bobcat
I wonder if it will make any appreciable difference on the next game
I'm not really sure how it could
jade depot
i dont play splatoon but this outcome is fucking insane i hate splatoon
if it applies like order/chaos did i figure it would be theyd bring back the winning idols to host for 4
jade depot
its always about those fuckass sisters
i feel vindicated knowing oth is actually the most popular
glacial bobcat
I don't think it's gonna apply in any meaningful way
Like they would have brought them back regardless
jade depot
it did before! no use thinking about it now
glacial bobcat
But like how
jade depot
they
use the winning idols as the hosts of the next game
it would be even simpler than chaos/order
they already struggled to do anything interesting with deep cut
it doesnt feel great having called my shot like when the game came out that it was gonna be The Squid Sisters 2: Featuring their Plush Mascot
i wouldnt be surprised if they were trying to find a way out of having 1. a new set of idols and 2. one that capitalizes upon the gimmick of it being splatoon 4
god forbid we had a group of 4
i think it's kinda stupid it was left up in this specific way because we now know (as though it weren't obvious) oth is the most popular and htey lost because splatfests are dogshit
the devs put them in literally everything
glacial bobcat
Wouldn't be mad if they were the hosts again as long as they found other avenues for new and returning characters
hollow summit
off the hook are like. i have to assume they're number one on the chopping block of "not important in a sequel." on account of deep cut barely existed in Their Own Game. it wouldve made sense to be the squid sisters time to Be Over, but ah, . lol. lmao
new splatoon game about rejecting new trends!!! we hate progress!!! another story about humans!! octolings are back to being enemy-only
glacial bobcat
OTH will still be around
I really doubt they want to chop their block given the popularity of those characters and that pairing
hollow summit
i mean im sure they wont Cease To Exist but
theres apparently only so much spotlight to go around
jade depot
off the hook are like. i have to assume they're number one on the chopping block...
ur insane to think this oth is in every DLC campaign to date and theyre constantly in promotional material
theyre the only idols to get figures
glacial bobcat
If anyone's on the chopping block it's probably Deep Cut
glacial bobcat
People like them but I don't think anyone loves them
jade depot
they just didnt get any chance to really be characters like oth has
i do legitimately think oth has seen the most development and intrigue even from a development standpoint
the squid sisters sticking around feels more like a formality, thats nott o say people dont like them but theyre the designated singleplayer guys
glacial bobcat
Trounced
jade depot
deep cut Was in the storymode for 3 but like barely? or at least like, not in a way that made them very interesting
yea tihs is completely insane
btw reminder oth had like 50% of the popular vote
it is not close
i think aside from generic inklings its only been them
hidden spindle

I think their alignment was supposed to be more ambiguous but it doesn't really come across outside of the story mode
In the story mode there is a kernel of like "oh man what's the deal with these guys"
hidden spindle
that's kind of the issue with deep cut
hollow summit
i mean im just thinking about this in terms of "they probably would feel like its imbalanced if deep cut doesnt get new stuff in favor of off the hook"

none of their interesting traits and character details exist outside of story mode

they wouldnt think this

i was hoping deep cut would be in side order
and theyre not
hidden spindle
yeah
jade depot
i think they just dont know what to do with deep cut
thats hwy i think they wouldnt do the logical next step of a 4 person idol group
hollow summit
i would be very surprised if they give up on deep cut
hidden spindle
they. kind of already have LOL
jade depot
i mean yea but also like
what is giving up here
they wouldnt give up on them ie stop using them for anything ever never reference htem
the devs clearly love oth which is why theyre used so much
and the fans do too
hollow summit
like. "being The Group associated with at least one mode"
deep cut dedicated salmon run hosts when
jade depot
they would most likely get either that or singleplayer spotlight
bc the squidbeak splatoon arc is over
hollow summit
i was joking but now that ive typed it im like. yeah they COULD be the new salmon run guys. i know theres like, something with lil judd but i do not care about lil judd
jade depot
thsi doesnt change the fact that they're underutilized just in a characterization sense like that is the core issue not necessarily that hteyre unused
they are hard to use because theres 3 of them and they dont really accomplish things that arent already done better with existing characters
they dont know what to do with big man straight up
hollow summit

hidden spindle
i love frye and big man so much but like we know so little about them and what we do know does not impact the world at all
jade depot
i think they didnt know what to do with deep cut because its obvious a large portion of why people like oth is the fact that htey are very obviously gay and their relationship is so likable and fun and interesting
hollow summit
because i felt that way Because Im A Koopalings Fan and obviously that is not why you felt that way about shiver
there was a better comparison but i forget it atm

if your brain is huge they can be a polycule but even then they aren't that interesting together (w/o some major headcanons) or on their own so
shrug
jade depot
i think if we both liked the premise of deep cut hte interpersonal differences dont matter LOL
jade depot

yes exactly
plus having a polycule isnt quite in the public consciousness of anything resembling normal
hidden spindle
yeah ....
jade depot
not to mention shiver should be nonbinary like come the fuck on now
hollow summit
i guess i am just thinking about robin hood. i dont really read robin hood stories so im not well aquainted with his Squad in the mythos but
jade depot
shes literally wearing a binder
hidden spindle
not to mention shiver should be nonbinary like come the fuck on now
still seething about this

oh yeah im just talkin for talkings sake im not trying to get to a larger point
hidden spindle
i guess i am just thinking about robin hood. i dont really read robin hood stori...
it's not too tied to Robin Hood mythos but just the idea of "these people steal treasure and donate it to the poor"
but that doesn't even fucking mean anything
jade depot
i think their full potential was clipped because something was stopping htem from ig making htem as queer as they sohuld be as splatoon develops its obvious that this kind of interpersonal culture is a subtle but major part of its tone
hollow summit
oh no that was like. "whats the thing im thinking of thats a better comparison than the koopalings" a nd its "that robin hoods buddies all hang out and are pals"
jade depot
like honestly they should all 3 ofthem be even bigger weirdos but their designs were probably scaled back to be more conventional for marketings sake
hidden spindle
yeah i think deep cut could have really made some waves if they were queer-er and weirder
jade depot
as it stands they feel like the squid sisters but if judd was the third member of the squid sisters which is awful
big man is a good design but they literally cant use him for anything if youve ever seen the live shows its very sad
earnest rampart
iirc no not even that
hidden spindle
he just stands there ????
earnest rampart
he really likes to stand around
hidden spindle
frowns
hidden spindle
he dances a little in-game
earnest rampart
but otherwise
hidden spindle
earnest rampart
kind of non existent
earnest rampart
he is a good boy
hidden spindle
he's one of the most unique designs in the game which is very cool but
earnest rampart
but I think the devs somewhat hate him
hidden spindle
deep cut is like. wasted potential to me
i like them, but it just feels like they dropped the ball hard
i still think side order should have been all about deep cut
they're like side characters in their own game
earnest rampart
extra OTH content for you
oh and them
hollow summit
i do wonder what the Developments have been while i wasnt looking at splatoon because im sure tehres been some
yesterday when i was playing i saw someone with "yoko and the cold bazookas fan" in their tag and i said who the fuck are yoko and the cold bazookas
stoic delta
a member of ink theory started their own trumpet band as a side thing
it's gold bazookas
because trumpets
hollow summit
ah. thats a very funny way for me to have misread it because it makes even less sense
glacial bobcat
Even before I spent any time with Deep Cut I thought their designs were kinda weak
It's 70% of the way there to designs that I would like
glacial bobcat
99%
jade depot
yea
i do like final frye more than this frye tho
the octarian with the snare drum is damning
glacial bobcat
Big Man annoys me
glacial bobcat
This is strong too
glacial bobcat
Tbh Frye gives me stronger Pearl vibes with her actual design
jade depot
they doubled down on the forehead thing
earnest rampart
you mean her final?
hidden spindle
Big Man annoys me
skill issue ig
glacial bobcat
Pearl is punkier
jade depot
tbh i get it @ big man
hidden spindle
pearl is a lot punkier
jade depot
no offense hes soooo mascot coded
earnest rampart
in only looks
glacial bobcat
Big Man sucks because he's basically a big canvas but this pattern is so boring
jade depot
well............ ur losin me now...........
hidden spindle
off the hook is more of a hip hop group than a pop/punk ground
hidden spindle
Big Man sucks because he's basically a big canvas but this pattern is so boring
cheeps do you hate joy and whimsy and fun
his face is little :3
it's pawsome
glacial bobcat
I mean Splatoon 3 music is fine but to me it all blends together
hidden spindle
frowns
glacial bobcat
Splatoon 1 music is like
It's all so distinctive and plays with genre a little more
Although in fairness the later Splatoon 3 songs are flame emoji
hidden spindle
i DO wish the splatoon 3 songs were more ... idk how to say it
harder ? i guess
this goes back to deep cut supposedly being punk/rock/metal/etc. but their music rarely ever reflects that as far as i know
i can agree with the idea of them messing around with the genres more
earnest rampart
more chaotic energy
hidden spindle
or, i guess how much of those multicultural sounds are taken advantage of
earnest rampart
true
hidden spindle
yeah
earnest rampart
the later half of 3 is just done with it somewhat
glacial bobcat
Y'know what Splatoon 2 music is kinda epic too
earnest rampart
ditch the mad max shit for most part
hidden spindle
which was really crazy cause like ..... the last splatfest always has some Major impact on the plot/world ig
glacial bobcat
No one liked it at the time but I think it's pretty awesome
hidden spindle
and this one could have been REALLY crazy
stoic delta
it could be crazy
glacial bobcat
which was really crazy cause like ..... the last splatfest always has some Major...
Actually kinda refreshing that they didn't do that again
stoic delta
we don't know the ramifications of it
jade depot
i think splat 3 on the surface level has a lot of stuff w chaos but it feels idk simultaneously THE WHOLE thing is chaos and nothing is
earnest rampart
which was really crazy cause like ..... the last splatfest always has some Major...
it was hyped up to be bigger and important
Chaos in this sense
hidden spindle
but it wasn't, not really
glacial bobcat
They should have made OTH baddies
hidden spindle
and the chaos was like. completely shafted
glacial bobcat
But still goodies
hollow summit
like in an aesthetic sense or a morality sense
hidden spindle
They should have made OTH baddies
erm .... they are baddies ??
or wait do you mean like. baddies as in "enemies"
earnest rampart
the only chaotic thing they really brought out across 3 was it being more diverse, less conform
glacial bobcat
They should have been evil little rats
hollow summit
mariowiki dot com slash baddie box
hidden spindle
i don't think i like side order that much
glacial bobcat
It would be funny if the hosts were just a bit evil
hidden spindle
It would be funny if the hosts were just a bit evil
that's just deep cut lol
jade depot
but they got cold feet
glacial bobcat
Doesn't come across
hidden spindle
yeah that's the problem
jade depot
you literally fight them as bosses
glacial bobcat
Most of it just reads as standard idol banter
jade depot
yea theres a disconnect
glacial bobcat
you literally fight them as bosses
Well yeah like I said it does come across in story mode
hidden spindle
ngl it like. Kind of comes across the story mode
but not that much
and it's nonexistent in splatcasts and festivals
earnest rampart
does Pearl drink G Fuel?
stoic delta
pee fuel
hidden spindle
pibby fuel
earnest rampart
she's also a streamer
hidden spindle
does pearl actually stream
stoic delta
not that i know of
earnest rampart
Marina might try a cooking stream just to expand outward
earnest rampart
Marina might try a cooking stream just to expand outward
(it goes horribly wrong)
hidden spindle
true
earnest rampart
because Pearl
hidden spindle
would marina have a youtube channel like Linus TechTips
earnest rampart
maybe a lofi channel
hidden spindle
god marina is like. the fucking best LOL
earnest rampart
umm
hidden spindle
like of the idols i mean
earnest rampart
you mean both Pearl & Marina
hidden spindle
well yeah i love them both
earnest rampart
👁️
earnest rampart
the idols were a hit day 1 when they were revealed
hidden spindle
yeah
like it was crazy how popular they were from the start
and when octo expansion dropped ????
glacial bobcat
What everyone's favorite Splatoon track
hidden spindle
nasty majesty or fly octo flyy
hidden spindle
i really thinkg fly octo fly changed my fucking life
hidden spindle
i dont like the last minute sorry
i'll forgive you because i like you
hollow summit
i really love entropical and the. uh. the other sashimori one - thanks marb :]
hidden spindle
there's a marie song i really like too
glacial bobcat
What about battle themes
hidden spindle
from splatoon 1
hollow summit
its not even that i dislike it honestly i Do like it its just not my Number One Favorite
hollow summit
im unhinged and i love octoarmaments
stoic delta
hidden spindle
TRUEEEEEEE
hollow summit
er. wait no i think its octoweaponry
the first one
octoarmaments is good too though
hidden spindle
rockagilly blues is super good too
earnest rampart
OE was like you just had to be there for the ride
hollow summit
i remember when i would like
just listen to i am octavio phase 2 on its own
if you dont remember what i am octavio phase 2 sounds like, look it up
earnest rampart
and nasty just slay
hollow summit
i was reminded a lot of splatoon when i was listening to this astro bot song mit linked a bit ago
jade depot
octo expansion was literlaly a culture shift
livid pendant
I have a silly idea for the next Splatoon game if there is one, but I’m not really sure if it would work
hollow summit
WHAT THE FUCK SASHIMORI CAME BACK IN SPLATOON 3??????
AND IM ONLY FINDING THIS OUT NOW????
livid pendant
Favourite GrizzCo weapons? I like the GrizzCo Brella
hybrid cedar
grizzco brella would be my choice too
or blaster
but i just really like the idea of a fully automatic shotgun
livid pendant
All three Splatoon games are now on Nintendo Music. Only thing missing is Side Order I think
