Played Smash for the first time in 6 years. Not as washed as I expected but my adaptation was definitely slow. Somehow had to play every person in a friend group and knocked them out of bracket. That was fun.

watching my favorite players pass over their dedicated mains of years to play 52 is actually exactly the same thing as being the youngest of your friend group at 80 years old and watching everyone you love start to die around you

Hate tweet for splatoons birthday Blasters that shark in Solo q piss me off so much, cause even prior to the buffs, you are still the most annoying weapon on the field. Yet you refuse to constantly throw around your AOE, like you're literally a waste of atoms and molecules nigga

This just feels like one of those metas where the issues come from low skill expression discouraging more interesting weapons and too much paint spam and I think this ruleset should weaken those enough to see other strats. That's what I'm going for at least so other mobility/midline weps r better.

Thinking of hosting a tournament banning blaster heavy and respawn punisher in July if the patch doesn't do anything. (52 is annoying but I think its just a symptom of these weapons and should be more balanced in this format but not opposed to sniping it too.)

Yeah agreed. Lower tier players on top tier weapons are genuinely harder to fight than top tier players on mediocre weapons rn. Never really been like that before. Also so many things are unbreachable like my original post pointed out, Splatoon has also never been like that before.

too many low skill expressive things are good rn I feel, the other stuff didnt even fall off as much but it feels worse when they feel like they take exponentially more work for the same results

Play comp and run into a blaster comp. Go into Xrank and every game has 3-4 blasters. Ignores LOS, removes movement expression, removes shaking, removes aim. I fucking hope this class gets the Splatoon 2 Brella treatment. I don’t think the game has ever felt this uninteractive and stale

I thought I didn't like Stamper anymore bc everytime I've tried play booyah stamper, I haven't enjoyed it. Played vStamper again and that thing is a blast. Burst Bomb is such a game changer. My bad for falling for the Booyah propaganda.
