ok so watching major league balatro streams has taught me what "tempo" means in splatoon. in pvp balatro, a tempo play basically means trying to outscore your opponent in the short term and win with a build that's weaker long term but easier and quicker to set up so you can punish more powerful

in balatro it's helpful because things happen very slowly and at a steady, linear pace. if someone's going for tempo that means they have a specific goal that they're going for and calling it a tempo play communicates what that goal is. in splatoon there's just too much happening at once and

there's too many different goals that can be related to tempo in some way for it to be useful. it doesn't make sense to just "go for tempo" because that's way, way to vague and it doesn't help you to understand what you're actually doing right now and what your goal is, and it's better to elaborate.

builds that take more setup. in splatoon i think the best way to translate that is when coolerless teams go aggro on opening while the enemy is waiting for cooler. same for targeting a vac or bubble user before they can get it set up.

I think there's 2 main issues with using the term tempo in Splatoon 1. nobody can agree on what it means. this is the biggest issue. 2. because splatoon is such a fast paced game and there's so many things that happen that could be considered "tempo plays" you pretty much always have to elaborate

Wouldn’t nerfing v96 pfs really just make 96 players wear special charge? Most gal players don’t right now and they’re getting diminishing returns from their triple swim speed builds so I feel like sacrificing some slots for scu will basically not matter at all

the first time. It's normal to lose 150-200 points for a 2-3 series at 3900 but he was losing 500+. He reset his rank to try to get around that. If someone actually speaks Japanese and wants to correct me on this please do because I'm just getting that from the shitty auto translate subtitles.

Thank you for the great response to the scanner release yesterday! Today's update adds Discord-like "crop/rotate/zoom" when uploading images. Scanner also now reads CB objective and X Rank powers. + fixed a bunch of Scanner related issues (tyvm people who reported!) #sendouink

I'm very happy to see other comp players doing the unedited ramble type of thing. Its been good 2nd channel content for me for a long time and I really hope its showing how much interest there is in just hearing what other high level players think.

i don't think we know how privileged we have it with sendou I've been hanging around other communities and everytime I show them sendou they just freak out and wish they had something like that instead of everything being on discord or twitter

Saw someone mention liter not being banned here and I’m sure people are gonna comment more on that in the next 2 weeks so I wanna give context to that. Kyo said this best in the group chat for the tourney. This tournament isn’t supposed to be a hotfix for the game, it’s a tourney without…

Hey so about that tournament

The Big Swig Roller Express is an exciting collaboration between the makers of the Big Swig Roller and a vending-machine maker! In addition to the new design, it now comes with the Angle Shooter sub, making it easy to tag enemies and take a sip of their health bar while you're at it.

Plus, you can fire up the Ink Storm special to drive the other team into the open, and then finish them off with the roller. Talk about convenient! I guess that's the vending-machine influence paying off

This 100% the sz only format is a huge part of why theres a larger variety of comps. Especially for west this year the main events have almost exclusively been modes outside of SWS.

Will I ever learn to stop playing when I get tired/tilted/not playing well or will I continue to bungee back and forth between 1600 and 2300 xp for the rest of my life?

You're telling me the game that ran in 12p on the 360 didnt deserve a 98 on metacritic? it's the same thing with many games that came out blurry, choppy messes and still got huge praise. Cyberpunk2077 is a great example of a game that should forever be shamed for scamming gamers
