How Splatoon 3 Players See Splatoon 2

[@Alphastar716]

Have you went back to Splatoon 2 since Splatoon 3 came out? And if you did, how much did you miss armor when doing so? Let me know right here in the comments!

[@ibraheamabdulrahman1961]

Yes for the anniversary

[@MRIHAVENOTHINGTOSHOW]

I miss main power up man

[@HomiesDomain24]

I actually played Splatoon 2 with my best friend not too long ago and MAN THE MEMORIES! I miss the splashdown the most

[@BooTube5]

umm, well i kinda loaded up splat 3 and never looked back so

[@Bria987]

I miss Shifty Stations man 😢

[@yourlocalgrandma1]

"I don't know what it is...." It's the map design

[@stary-_-]

True that

[@Alphastar716]

Remember when we despised Splatoon 2's map design? Good times... 😊

[@Starstrukcallie]

That’s true

[@MeloniestNeon]

Ah, Splatoon 2! The game where Brellas were a functional weapon class and the worst thing about the maps was the occasional mildly annoying stage gimmick!

[@Olivertheolive]

And goby arena being unfair for the losing team

[@randomcoloradan2878]

Ah, Camp Triggerfish. Good memories

[@etheliaowo7533]

@@randomcoloradan2878as much as I hated camp triggerfish at the time, I kinda miss it now

[@FlaringStardust]

@@etheliaowo7533 i've loved that map since splatoon 1 i can't believe they just left it to rot

[@HomiesDomain24]

Splatoon 2 brings back so many memories for me- I remember my excitement when I first got the game and I was OBSESSED with Salmon Run.

[@Alphastar716]

And now they stepped it up even further with Splatoon 3 salmon run x)

[@Olivertheolive]

Salmon run x?

[@MRIHAVENOTHINGTOSHOW]

When I went back to splatoon 2 for like an hour it’s… surprising how I spent 2k hours in it

[@Alphastar716]

Anything's bound to get stale if you put enough time into it. 2k hours in Splatoon 2 is probably one of those cases.

[@Bria987]

I love Splatoon 2. That was my first Splatoon game and I LOVED it ever since I was young. Now looking back to Splatoon 2 and playing it again, I think I’m falling in love with it again. help 😭😭😭

[@Alphastar716]

Yes...we need more Splatoon 2 love! 👀

[@Bria987]

⁠Splatoon love 🫶🥹

[@CocatGaming]

I know most people highly dislike the story mode for Splatoon 2, but I really enjoyed it. The first story mode trailer for Splatoon 2 got me hyped for the game when it was first coming out! Also the battle music in Splatoon 2 is just amazing. (Chirpy Chips, Wet Floor, and Ink Theory my beloveds!!!!)

[@BooTube5]

[2:21] This bought me BACK.i think like 35% of my total play time on this game was just waiting. and throughout the entire life of splat 2 they never added the feature to change pitch in ranked (at least not to my knowledge) Also does anyone else miss shifty stations? Yeah me too

[@Alphastar716]

I remember recording Splatoon 2 Inside the Minds and a decent chunk of the footage would just be the waiting screen haha.

[@zeatehkcasualaccount]

i tried to play splatoon 2 for nostalgia... i missed my tri-stringer too much :(

[@da_pwo]

Ngl hearing the old salmon run music and seeing the darker green ink really does give memories. Wish my sister didn’t lose both her switch AND MY FIRST EVER SWITCH GAME on a car trip

[@yinyangyt8749]

I remember playing Splatoon 2 and loved it. It is enjoyable

[@Alphastar716]

And that's good! There's still plenty of enjoyable things about the game!

[@Tori_Nushi]

I thought it might've been cooler if on one side of the thumbnail there was alpha's splat 2 octoling design and the other one there was alpha's splat 3 octoling design

[@Alphastar716]

Tbh, I don't know if people would be able to tell much of a difference unless my Splatoon 3 Octoling was doing an emote.

[@midtech168]

It's hard to describe it, but the aesthetic in S2 is so much more "splatoon" than in S3.

[@apingpongtable6990]

Exactly

[@MaoRatto]

NO.

[@TopazTiger975]

Oh ink armor, how I do not miss you in the slightest. 😊 I haven't played Splatoon 2 since Splatoon 3 released, but I'll likely play it again sometime for nostalgia. Amazing video as always Alpha! 🐯

[@Alphastar716]

It's definitely a fun game to come back to every now and then!

[@kotaar8535]

whenever i hear “look into the light” i get almost minecraft music levels of nostalgia and i don’t even know why

I never would have thought i would hear that albacore inspired the creation of mincemeat but here we are…

[@Alphastar716]

When I was scripting the video, it really dawned on me how similar Mincemeat and Albacore are structured x)

[@AlienSoda778]

its craazy that splatoon 3 is already receiving its last update

[@nelsonlopez9559]

2:00 I would've said shot down like the Chinese Spy Balloon but that works too

[@Zzztzz]

Me? I completed the octo expansion. And I’m playing turf war in splat 2. AND grizzco. So old. I love this game

[@ruikasasfixer]

Its so crazy on how things change. Back in Splat2 i remember always spamming ink armor bc i was an splat jr main, now i only spam the bubbler or whatever its called (big bubble, big bubbler?? i dont remember) I miss a lot of maps tho like Camp Triggerfish (from borh S1 and S2), Arowana Mall (also from S1 and S2), and so much more. Nintendo: PLEASE bring back shifty stations, or at least something similar 😭😭

[@Starstrukcallie]

I miss splatoon 2 it had pretty good maps

[@Peanut_Butter_Squidward]

I really miss some of the salmon run maps Specifically ark polaris

[@djcalvin15]

why do i miss bubble blower AHHHHHHHHHHH,, BRING IT BACKK

[@The_Top_Gun.]

3:56 even in s rank in splatoon 2 it sometimes takes forever to find a match

[@ankkitha]

When looked back, I immediately was brought back the memories of using my precious Splat Roller with it’s SPLASHDOWN THRASHDOWN!!!! (I call it that whenever I super-jump and use it. I miss it so much because i felt so……..Alive and Powerful 💥

[@Alphastar716]

Super Jumping splashdowns were probably the scariest kinda haha.

@@Alphastar716 It feels good when YOU use it but scary when OTHERS use it😅

[@randomcoloradan2878]

We've got it back!

[@ancamation8318]

I really like Splatoon 2 it holds many memories I’m my heart

[@2KStrife11]

I like Splatoon 2 as well. As been at it since 2016, it was a great time, Splatoon 2 increased my Aggressiveness and Results, Kills increased and I played somewhat better than some friends, The only hate I had was teammates, I do turf more because I win the most from it, But I’m staying in Splatoon for a long time, except Splatoon 1, I’m retiring from that

[@Alphastar716]

The 5 years that ppl played Splatoon 2 definitely helped a ton of people master the mechanics. Glad you were one of them!

[@SpotlightEgg]

The video is amazing. I laugh a lot, thank you. I think I am the one person who still plays splatoon 1 every day even though I have 2 and 3 . For content I speedrun splatoon 1.

[@Alphastar716]

That's still valid! Ik a lot of ppl are still very fond of Splatoon 1.

[@vuyosmith4970]

Ya know I thought splat3 would be more FUN cuz of its visuals splat2 current state is really fun like with the map design like with the shifty stations

[@kawaiiwolf4724]

I went back to Splat 2, played Salmon run, 7 EGGS. Like, I'm eggsecutive vp now and I was like, "does your salmon run rank go down after time?" NOPE. I can't believe I used to struggle on overachiever like that

[@Alphastar716]

Yeah, salmon run in Splatoon 2 is easy money x)

[@octolegend9295]

I think I’m the Splatoon 3 splatfest they should add a new map based on the tueme

Hopped back kn splatoon 2 it actually is kinds still popping off lobbys are still active posts are still active even splatfests are back

[@maplemiles3381]

I don't really have any burning desire to go to Splatoon 2 even if I may have nostalgia for the first two games. I didn't put much effort into 2 like I did with 1 but 3 feels more polished and fun and well balanced and it even has a brighter future since sizzle season and the devs are without a doubt making the game much better at a gradual rate

[@Alphastar716]

That's valid! I just like going back to Splatoon 2 since a lot of Splatoon 3's best features are built off of Splatoon 2.

Ok, mpu wasn’t too bad. And lets be real ink armor is only as effective as your teamates are, it can’t make a bad team bearable, it can only make a good team a NIGHTMARE. There is only 1 splatoon 2 singleplayer there should be. And I’m sry but what was even the point of league, anarchy with friends is basically league now with your power being calculated and it’s even BETTER cus you can now gain ranked points from it. If ur upset that it isn’t a whole other bubble that’s pink idk what to tell u man. 4:40 BUT I WILL GLADLY TAKE YOU SINGING SO INCREDIBLY TRAGIC LMAOOO Idc for the meta in splatoon 2 but at least it didn’t have a Literal PEN and WASHING MACHINE be the “best weapons” Ah yes, I do remember the times where the quota wouldn’t go above 20, That lesser salmonids lived up to their name And I could tank 20 chums and not perish horribly. And if course the times when the best salmon run map “*The Ruins of Ark Polairis*” was available, good times. Tho I do like the screaming eel, 24/7 work shifts (for minimum wage), and of course THE *[BIG SHOT]* Ok but watch Drizzle season 23 be the best update ever and give everyone what they wanted lmao. (Including gold dynano) in all seriousness, splatoon 3 still needs and has the time to grow, I’ve been told that splatoon 2 didn’t feel so great at launch either. Let splatoon 3 cook for a while and it can get out all of the great stuff in has in store! Splatoon 2 did a lot of great things to push the series forward while having some issues here and there, so did splatoon 3! But It’s best that we don’t forget about these games, at the very least, they sure did something right.
