Hey, I was right.

[Dukefire]

Well, the test run will be arriving 2 weeks before the official launch. The old game of Rock-Paper-Scissors is on.

The last brown cephalopod girl they made was too powerful. They had to nerf the next one.

Oh boy - I'm going to be matched up against people who have no idea what they're doing!

(I had a terrible experience with Splatoon 2's online - I played enough matches to unlock the full set of amiibo gear, and that was it, considering that I was stuck with basic weapons that seemed to deal scratch damage while being put up against people whose weapons killed me almost immediately)

**** yes!

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Haunt race:

“I’m Haunt Strigoi. Master of blood and darkness, my fangs are at your command.”

Alignment: Dark-Chaos

Origin: Romanian mythology. Evil spirits that have risen from their grave. A sinner or the seventh son or daughter of a family can also turn into this kind of being when living. However, if one dies from suicide, curse, or execution for perjury, they may become a “dead strigoi”, which are much more dangerous and torment their family until they die. Strigoi can transform into animals, turn invisible and get stronger by drinking blood.

Skills: Life Drain, Mudo, Venom Chaser, Estoma

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Femme race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Since strigoi legends are the root of most modern demon portrayals, there is a lot of lore about these creatures. Hilariously, one way to defeat them is listed as simply digging their grave and putting them facedown so they go to the underworld when they wake up. Surprisingly, its design is pretty unique, even if I couldn’t spot any specific references, it certainly looks like the part of an evil wizard/vampire. The word “strigoi” has various connotations with other evil beings, such as the strix in Ancient Greece, Strega or witches in Italy, and French stryge, blood-sucking bird women. Romanian verb “a striga” means “to scream”.

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok but on some serious notes:

• Game looks great.
• Like the new mobility options
• New weapons look good too
• Squid Dab
• Will shell out 100 bucks for more Marina

Splatoon 3 looks great but they are not beating the Splatoon 2.5 Allegations.


EDIT: This is not a bad thing as Splatoon 2 is fantastic.

 

[Dukefire]

Splatoon 3 looks great but they are not beating the Splatoon 2.5 Allegations.

For now, that is how Splatoon 3 will be at launch. It might change during its two year duration.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Thoughts on Frye's design

 

[Noipoi]

You have to pay 30 more dollars just to see Marina’s face and Y’know what?

I’ll do it

 

[Lamperouge]

Splatoon 3 just looks like more Splatoon, the ****

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

The Splatoon 3 direct outdid my expectations by a long shot holy hell

Edit: also thank god Ink Armor Baller and Sting Ray aren't returning

 

[TheMightyP]

Adaman (Legends Arceus)

 

[Noipoi]

NOW’S YOUR CHANCE-

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

I like how almost all of the new specials force you to move but not in obnoxious ways like how a competent Sting Ray user could track you through the entire stage.

The QOL chances are cool, the Salmon run changes are cool(not sure about the final boss waves though ngl) the new card game... exists? I don't think I'll be interested in it tbh.

Overall this was a solid 9/10 direct for me, I liked basically everything that was shown from the Amiibo to the new weapons to the new specials to the idols.

 

[TheMightyP]

Ok I warmed up.

I actually kinda like Frye now.

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

Yo this ****ing bops

 

[Noipoi]

Yo this ****ing bops

I like it better than Off the Hook’s song, honestly.

 

[TheMightyP]

Yo this ****ing bops

Ah yeah

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Splatoon 3 looks great but they are not beating the Splatoon 2.5 Allegations.

This is funny cause I remember people saying the same **** about Splatoon 2. I have no stakes here but I laughed

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Good morning

Spoiler

Splatoon 3 has a 3-person group, one of which is a male. This pleases me

 

[TheMightyP]

Shooter games don't really evolve much, it's kinda standard. Not sure why people thought otherwise

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

This screenshot seems memeable ngl

 

[Cutie Gwen]

This screenshot seems memeable ngl

When a kid asks you to help find their parents at your 9-5 job but it's already 4:59

 

[Aurane]

Is it bad i read "decompressing" as "decomposing"

Oh no, I'm also decomposing. Like a steak in the sun.

 

[TheMightyP]

Agree?

 

[Schnee117]

Shooter games don't really evolve much, it's kinda standard. Not sure why people thought otherwise

It honestly depends on the shooter but yeah the majority do relatively minor updates
