Community / Tournaments

A quick reminder that entry for the #splatoon3fedichampionships closes tomorrow at 11.59pm BST.

If you want to enter, I suggest entering now. I don't expect people to set up any teams so therefore if you want to participate, but you don't really want to go out looking for a team, I am willing to match you automatically with anyone else that is interested in participating who is not part of a team

As a reminder, some members of the community have a Discord server over at https://discord.gg/BjeGAfcG.

For the list of rules for the competition, visit https://lethallava.land/@experiencer/pages/splatoon3fedichampionships.

I'd also suggest for anyone who doesn't want to participate, but is interested in spectating the event to contact me.

Community / Polls

I genuinely want to gauge the interest of people wanting to play Splatoon 1 before the online shutdown.

Do you have any goals that you're yet to complete for Splatoon 1 online?

I can't wait to hear your replies below. Personally, I want to achieve getting to level 50, I'm currently at level 46. I also would like to achieve a higher rank than B- 52 but I'm not really fuzzed about that. I don't really have any other online goals, mostly just stuff with Amiibo so I can get closer to having all of the items in the game (I think I'm honestly just missing mostly Amiibo items).

Also, if you want to find some people to play with, it might be worth leaving your NNID in your reply, since I'll certainly be looking for people to play with to achieve my goals.

News / Nintendo Network

It's over...

From April 2024, you'll be no longer able to play any Wii U or 3DS game online, and the SpotPass service will be officially shut down.

http://ntdo.co.uk/60184mI5g

I did not expect it to come so soon, but at least Nintendo Network lasted 4 years longer than the DS.

If you want to play Splatoon 1 online from that date, you will need to have @pretendo installed on your Wii U.

This does require your Wii U to be modded if it isn't already running the Aroma environment (unfortunately there's no guides for Tiramisu).

To get your Wii U modded, for the best experience, first follow all the steps for Tiramisu on this page (it isn't required but it might be handy to have both): https://wiiu.hacks.guide.

Then, after that, you can follow the Aroma steps on this page: https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/aroma/getting-started.

To install Pretendo Network on your Wii U, follow these steps: https://pretendo.network/docs/install/wiiu

Considering this account is geared towards Splatoon, I won't say much about the 3DS but you'll need to mod it with the Luma3DS CFW. Unfortunately, older 3DS models are currently unmoddable if they're running 11.17.0.50.

If you want to learn more about modding a 3DS, visit https://3ds.hacks.guide.

Once you've installed CFW, visit Pretendo's guide https://pretendo.network/docs/install/3ds.

I guess it's finally time to get the rest of my Wii U modded and install Pretendo onto my 3DS.

News / Speedruns

Apologies for this being slightly different from my usual post format, I'm posting on a computer.

In #Splatoon1 speedruns, the sub-28 minute barrier was broken two days ago from LonTr0_, who has scored a 27:59.

If you want to watch their run, watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PpIPsJTj4U.

It's unlikely that we'll see anything like this any time soon.

Community / Tournaments

We're around 7 days from when entries for the #splatoon3fedichampionships are closed.

IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOURNAMENT, PLEASE ENTER NOW.

We've currently got 3 teams (one of which needs another player) and I really want to get this to 4 teams.

If you'd like to participate, please consider entering now.

There's a Discord server that some members of the community created at https://discord.gg/BjeGAfcG (please note that I'm not on this server) if you want to try and find someone to pair up with.

For the list of rules, visit https://lethallava.land/@experiencer/pages/splatoon3fedichampionships.

For the list of teams participating, visit https://lethallava.land/@experiencer/pages/teamsinsplatoon3fedichampionships2023.

I haven't said this in any previous posts, but if you are an Akkoma user, please consider making sure that your settings allow this account and @experiencer to message you. Same if you're entering with a Pixelfed account for some reason.

For any Lemmy and Kbin only users, please set up an account here on https://wetdry.world or https://splatsville.social if you'd like to take part.

To all the teams participating at the moment, if we're unable to get to 4 teams, I will be contacting you all about my plans to still make this go ahead with 3 teams, since I feel like it would be unfair cancelling it when I've seen some of you practicing.

Anyone in #HongKong?

Nintendo is holding a qualification tournament on the 10th of October (I assume it's for the Splatoon 3 Championships, I trust Microsoft's translation of Chinese even less than Japanese lol).

Audience seats are already filled up, but there's still space for people to participate.

To learn more, visit https://www.nintendo.com.hk/topics/article/52Njat8w0rJLdP8RDIiSot.

Thanks @NorthWestWind for making me aware of this!

News / Website

Hey squiddos! I'm sorry about the lack of content here, I promise more stuff is coming soon.

Anyways, Nintendo in Japan has unveiled a new part of the Splatoon website over there which now covers the history of Splatoon.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/splatoon/history/index.html

You might have issues reading it if you don't speak Japanese since in most cases, Nintendo are using images instead of text.

I'm about a month late to the party, but I thought it would be cool mentioning it whilst I'm here.

After not finding any major skips in years (mostly level skips have been found), Splatoon 1 can now be completed in under half an hour thanks to a new skip called World 4 early, which combined with skipping World 4 means that World 2, 3 and 4 are no longer played in a speedrun.

If you want to watch a video about some of the techniques used in speedruns, LunaticJ made one recently on it.

https://youtu.be/qZPny_EmWTQ

To view the Splatoon speedrun leaderboard, which contains links to guides on how to perform World 4 Early etc, visit https://www.speedrun.com/Splatoon1. I'd be keeping a look out for a sub-28 soon with the current record being 28:04 (3 days ago)!

Resources / Sendou.ink

I want to make some posts highlighting some resources for competitive players in the future so people can start their journey if they want to.

The first thing I'd like to promote is SendouQ which is hosted on sendou.ink. This is a great way to match up with other players and compete with other people.

You can access it at https://sendou.ink/q.

To learn how to use it, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIRNcTFDYzA.

ProChara made a video on it today if you'd like to check it out, you can watch it at https://youtu.be/juOIDmkS1dw.

As far as I can tell, you will need a Discord account to use this feature unfortunately.

After 20 days, Nintendo is finally distributing Deep Cut banners to Europe!

I'm not quite sure whether this marks off every region yet, I have no idea whether they are being distributed in South Korea at the moment (thanks NorthWestWind for the verification for Hong Kong).

News / Maintenance

I'm a bit too late, but from around 4am to 8.40am, you may have had some issues playing Splatoon 3.

This issue also affected Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (and probably Nintendo Switch Sports too). It seems to be an outage for any games using the NPLN system.

The servers are back up now though!
