I realize I unfortunately missed one emote, which is "The Lowdown" from Drizzle Season 2022. I would personally put this emote in C tier. (I did include it in the final tier list but somehow forgot to actually talk about it, sorry about that)

[@RitterDerHaselnuss]

I think it's very tempting for every adult to put the dab in F tier. and I get it. it's cringe. But you can't deny it does the job of being infuriating to see from the losing side.

[@Foun_D_OnePiece]

Although it was popularized because of the memes the weird thing is it has always been around for decades. I remember Power Rangers and Kamen Rider did it then people found out World War Veterans had done it before baby boomers were born.

[@user-bb2op9he1x]

why is it cringe tho?

[@Pikmanipulator]

@@user-bb2op9he1x Because millennials think it's styling when it really just looks awkward. That's my take on it, anyway.

[@mrd7560]

weirdly i liked that emote when i saw it in the first trailer lmfao, in a weird way i felt it was so cringe that it looped around to being charming for me

[@lorelaimorace-kk1xz]

Why i want it legit

[@djcalvin15]

honestly what i do is whenever i unlock a new emote i just equip that one till i get a new one lmaoooo

[@Chase247]

Honestly most ppl prob do that lolol

[@unl3ash3d95]

for the most part i do that too but then after i unlock all of them I always go back to backflip atcha which is my personal favorite emote

[@JVSTG4L4XY]

same lol

[@HellmanakaUselessTeamakaDevad]

Sisters Style represents their dance during City of Colour.

[@Chase247]

I know it does, doesn't change the fact it looks awkward though

[@HellmanakaUselessTeamakaDevad]

@@Chase247 Ok, I just assumed you didn't know because you didn't mention it in video.

[@rolleaax]

Definitely X tier for me. ^^

[@Chopscrewyyy]

​@@HellmanakaUselessTeamakaDevadthat's not noteworthy enough to mention

[@softbluewolf263]

Out of all the emotes that were released in a majority of the updates, my most favorite one is XOXO from chill season 2023. I like how the inkling/octoling blows a kiss and then smiles.

[@Chase247]

It's a great emote

[@SilverAg.]

Saw so many people using it and idk if I’m ever gonna get it lol. Same for strings attached. Prob my favorite two

[@dragonempress8367]

Strings attached creeps me out for some reason

[@kittyazzzie]

Sisters style is the Squid Sisters goodbye in Splatoon 1 during the news.

[@Mr_GrizzSR]

11:08 Its the move the Squid Sisters do in City of Colour, and I will not tolerate any disrespect for them

[@Chase247]

I'm aware, still looks hella awkward. Looks good with the squid sisters, bad with inklings and octos

[@JujuBennie]

@@Chase247 I agree 😭 every time I see someone use that emote it just looks awkward and almost constricted-like, and it kind of looks as if it was directly taken from Splatoon 1-

[@adorabunny2538]

>Most of the emotes he dislikes are dance steps >only dance emotes on his like list are: Breakin, Victory Strut, Victory Twist and Roundhouse Ballerina Chase confirmed for having two left feet.

[@ItsWolf0]

Lmao

[@GoldStorm07]

I've stuck with Windmill Whip since it was available, I'm a sucker for Kamen Rider poses.

[@Scorbunzx]

Riiidddeerrr HENSHIN!

[@Scorbunzx]

If we hypothetically get a “content extension” then I would at most want new kits for every weapon class and a weapon kit creator for private battles.

[@convalaria]

It would be really fun to do a turf war with friends where everyone has e-liter with point sensor and tacticooler - really horrible, but funny anyway

[@Helio343]

I also love backflip atcha, it feels so good to have it play after braking everyone’s aim while rolling with dualies

[@donuttttttt]

what's with the later undulator hate dude 😭😭

[@Chase247]

Nothing needs to be said.

[@alexgrunde6682]

Der Humpink gang rise up!

[@faithfighter3691]

disgusting emote 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@vanilla8956]

I want to mention that in Splatoon 2 if you won with the Tenta Brella as an Inkling you would spin around the giant canopy and it was cool. But if you win with Tenta Brella in Splatoon 3 with The Square Show Off equipped you'll open this ridiculously TINY canopy that looks so weird and funny lmao it's just way too jarring.

[@akinahara]

the you're welcome emote is probably the biggest f you a splatoon player can get after a loss. Pair that emote with a cap, and you'll be looking like a menace to society

[@landensplatoon]

Really fun video idea, and very different when compared to your usual video topics! I definitely enjoyed

[@bluekirby_64]

You're Welcome is my favourite emote, equipped it as soon as I unlocked it and haven't changed it since.

[@The_One_Agent]

If I’m completely honest when I saw You’re welcome and unlocked it I named myself Frieza because you can’t lie that ending pose does look like the frieza stance

[@abelramirez6436]

Cmon my favorite is Later Underlator why do you gotta dislike that AND Dualie Squelchers😭😭 my two favorite things in the game, good video tho I’m glad someone covered this topic

[@Chase247]

We're just not compatible my friend...

[@Taco796]

LOVE THE NEW PFP ART OMG

[@Chase247]

Haha it's actually the one I used to have like a year ago!

[@Taco796]

@@Chase247 all of your pfp art has been my favorite out of every content creator

[@Rose_Petals12]

Bro I LOVE just playing. It's like you're saying "it's just a game bro" after completely dominating the enemy team 😂

[@jackferrell5]

I will always dab and no one will stop me from doing it

[@WallKitty]

🛐

[@Celeste-ty5pb]

this was such a fun video! id love to hear more abt ur OC's lore sometime if u have any :3

[@Chase247]

theres not much lore! shes nameless, mischievous, and has a flirty side, the rest of her attributes arent really known

[@vslushie6921]

I love this video idea great one as always chase ❤

[@ItsWolf0]

ABOUT Double-Cross Dab: If you use it ironically, you are excused. If you use it unironically, you are unwell.

[@wowskii]

I love the ending of the video, it oozes style

[@nintendofanatic15]

I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS. THANK YOU CHASE

[@ItsTrixyy_]

Making waves is just a meme. Its such a mum dance

[@Drewsefer89]

Spring Loaded is such a great emote tho it’s a lot like bursting out but with more emphasis & cute as well Would think it’d be a top tier for your OC

[@Gabe12421]

Stance up being X tier is awesome because it relates to me perfectly, definitely agree with the ranking 👍

[@Enan63.]

I never cared for Emotes at first. When I first played Splatoon 3, but thanks for this well inform video! I keep in mind what emotes to use next time!!!

[@tootie_]

I get that you say sisters style is awkward bc i think so too, but the entire emote is formed from splatoon 1 when the squid sisters preform city of color and its pretty original imo

[@Chase247]

For some reason when I click the link there are no images for the tier list. It’s just empty.

[@Chase247]

​@kado-2323 not sure why that's happening, works fine for me

[@kado-2323]

@@Chase247 I checked the link on my phone, now it works fine. Must’ve been my IPad having a stroke.

[@Chrissyke]

I’ve been using victory strut for most of splatoon 3. I just got back into drawing and started a picture of my octoling in the end pose with her arm up ❤

[@MAZakir2]

Outside of me picking the emote that best fits what my Octoling is wearing, I really love those that are dance inspired! Being a dancer myself I could even recognise what genres they're from 😅 Examples include: - double-crossed dab (hip-hop -> one of the genres at the top of my list, and yes the dab is an actual dance move, my group even used it in our performances what you gonna do about it?) - shot caller (locking -> it uses one of the most commonly known locking sequences) - Breakin' + Your move (breakdancing -> self-explanatory, I'm actually training to become a beginner bboy so bonus points.) - Robo Steppin' + Robo-flow (robot -> nice that you know your dance genres, Chase!) - Nowhere Fast (Shuffling -> my favourite genre, it uses the airwalk shuffle which is a move I do all the time when I get bored while standing!) As for "Later, Undulator" it's pretty much just a body wave. A pretty common move used in a lot of genres but I love doing it because it's so satisfying and fun! Well, thanks for reading my little dance sharing I guess 😅

[@osiohanu8166]

The air kicking from down rock pop is a type of breakdancing move. I’ve seen it before.

[@yk._gaming._.4996]

I liked your tier list but got shocked with Sisters Style💥

[@yarasa2k]

eyyy fellow backflip atcha fan, it's my favorite too! i don't have half of the new ones yet but these are my top 5 1. backflip atcha 2. strings attached (this is like the only spooky emote for some reason, i wish there was more) 3. spinnin salute 4. shot caller (i personally love the arm spinning) 5. honestly i love the dualie/splatana version of reppin inkopolis now that they added new ones

[@Bayzer0191]

The emote I use the most BY FAR is Who's Next. Just calmly sitting down without really showing off at all is LITERALLY ME. It EXUDES both *quiet introvert* and *silent scheming* energy. There's little to no emotes where the Inkling/Octoling doesn't directly show off in some way. I'm talking about just casually brushing off their victory with little to no self fanfare. I sometimes use All Chill on occasion, since it has a bit of a shy/bashful energy, but that's really it. It's hard to find emotes to fit me when most are flashy in some way.

[@heroborgswe5418]

I do use the Dab alot and it’s one of my faverites emotes in splatoon 3 but i can see how you don’t like it

[@Boltywolf01]

The reppin inkoplis with tenta sorrella brella is bad ass

[@dragonempress8367]

Bashful brag with the new full cat gear is so cute!

[@Bob941]

I love seeing the hair clip through arms

[@user-qw3yy4qg8i]

Have you seen the side order emote in the order gear and youll change your mind for sure

[@teono6057]

my favorites are "landed it", "sarcastic salute", and "MVPleased" in that order

[@gamespy6632]

My X rank emotes on my opinion Spring loaded Makin' Waves Bursting out Routine Victory Squiddin' Around Bashful Brag Twirl Power Fitting Cute and aggressive looks of my octoling

[@yxuki1]

i think ur forgetting that u can get emotes from the gacha machine so even if theres gonna be no more catalogs u can still get stuff from previous catalogs in the gacha machine

[@Chase247]

@@yxuki1 how does that relate? I'm saying I don't think there will be any new emotes lol

[@_Neonium_]

1:59 I love how B is a perfect spot for Breakin’ since that’s what the letter starts with, ‘B for Breakdancing.’ 😂

[@zugiii1086]

I use Reppin' Inkopolis, because I'm a Bamboo (charger) main and I just love the charger animation there.

[@Scratchy_Wolf]

I love victory strut lol, but I use square show off more because sitting on the slosher is funny

[@Spacewizard9]

Am so happy am seeing this in youtube format instead of twitter format.

[@Luke-pv8gr]

Imagine the pain of doing the flip out emote with dynamo roller. The inkling’s foot would be destroyed

[@AldenPilling]

Yo chase, I’ve been looking on the internet for people’s opinions on what the best Dualies are in Splatoon 3, knowing how great you are with dualies, I was wondering what you think are the best dualies in the game.

[@Chase247]

Statistically the best dualie right now is splat dualies with crab tank

[@KamiTheGachaKid]

5:08 Backflip Atcha kinda reminds me of Shadow the Hedgehog, which is also why it's my favorite emote since Shadow is my favorite Sonic character

[@Shark.Bite_01]

don’t know if this is my off the hook bias talking, but Bait the Hook is my favorite emote, besides Spring Loaded, which i haven’t unlocked, but really want to

[@koalababy101]

Nice vid!

[@lazycorvid7826]

For me I find a lot of the emotes to be okay but I either don't care for part of the animation or the end pose leaving me with few I really like/love. My favorites are Nowhere Fast, Twirl Power, Victory Strut and all 3 sets of weapon themed emotes have at least a few I love.

[@izzyhall3499]

I think you missed the season 1 emote where the Inkling crouches while putting their hand over their mouth!

[@Chase247]

You're right 😢 thanks for letting me know

[@nintendofanatic15]

My favorite emotes are Flowing Form, Rootin Tootin, Windmill Whip, and Victory twist. victory twist is a fan fave, but the other 4 are brutally underrated!!

[@Kingtiger241]

Upperkick Crouch I use. I how it makes the characters looks like they’re like Tarzan or especially with the animal like gear

[@TinkC43]

7:48 I would use this emote more often if it wasn’t a low emote. I want to be able to get fist bumps but not many emotes are compatible with low emotes. Otherwise I think my personal favorite emotes would be Ready for Action, Card Sharker, Landed it, and the Dualie and Splatana versions of Reppin Inkopolis

[@ghost_rick_the_ghostian]

card shark is my pose sinds season 1 when i saw it on KZbin i knew i must have it like you said it took a grind but was so worth it total A rank

[@KenKnowsIt]

good video

[@AliceJohnson-pj6oq]

My favourite Splatoon 3 emote is Victory Twist. 💖

[@blueboy1923]

Easy Kneesy will always be my favourite emote.

Dab in F Teir got me ready to run the 1s

[@jaredparks4713]

I don't really care for showing off so the low profile of "The Lowdown" is perfect for me. Ironically, it's the one Chase forgot to mention here.

[@_Mayoz_]

11:8 Have you never seen the city of color dance?!

[@lelslayer4948]

I like the the backflip achta a lot, it reminds me of akuma

[@kado-2323]

Backflip Atcha and Landed It both remind me of Street Fighter, so they would both go in X Tier for me personally.

[@splashofazure]

Sarcastic Salute is literally how i greet people irl

[@ti-henry]

Just playin' is my favoured by far, and shot-caller reminds me of those competitive yoyo guys.

[@gio_frank6622]

2:16 that's the best part about it bro

[@icy31_]

If we're putting XOXO in S tier and crediting their ability to taunt the opposing team, you should probably at least consided bumping up Double-Cross Dab for that purpose too imo

[@Chase247]

yeah the difference is the dab is so cringe to the point where it negates that thought process, at least xoxo is pleasant to look at

[@snowie760]

You forgot cardshark from getting table turf level 30

[@Chase247]

2:26 ?

[@sleeplessarcher]

You say that some of your favorite win emotes would fit your character best, so now I’m curious about your OC - do you have any backstory for them? Any lore? Any headcanons? Are they just a personification of you, or are they independent? And lastly, what IS their personality like? If you’ve already gone over this in another vid then dbfbdbfbfn

[@mourning_sun_]

you're welcome is based on frieza's pose from dragon ball, which is why its so sinister

[@MissRozyy]

I actually agree with this list but my favorite one has to be strings attached!

[@janethedragoling6862]

6:14 I personally call it the octoling dance because it’s good 👍 but people are using it for the octolings then inklings and the rest I agree with you

[@hauntedsall]

WHAAAAA U PUT MY FAVORITE EMOTE IN C??? LOLL this list is solid tho ❤

[@nicolo2227]

ripp shot caller is literally one of my favourite emotes, and makes my inkling soo sassy I love it, for me is as good as routine victory (maybe slightly worse than routine victory but that's the idea)

[@nicolo2227]

also I understand y it's low on ur tierlist, it kinda looks bad on everything except inkling girl imo, if I use anything else than an inkling girl I would be using routine victory

[@Suuup_SSB]

Dang dabbing was cool in 2015 where were you splatoon 2? Also I feel old now 😔

[@C0L3Y]

Bursted out laughing at Later, Underlater and Sisters Style lol. Also glad to see most of the emotes I use are in either S or X tier 😎

[@turtwig86]

I bet this is such an unpopular opinion bc I've gotten so much shade for this but the dab in the F tier made me like this vid immediately LMAO

[@TCEvie]

"You're welcome" is called "at your service" in french. i think it's supposed to be sarcastic

[@Chase247]

Still creeps me out either way LOL

[@GoldStorm07]

It looks like the Freeza pose.

[@user-bb2op9he1x]

i just wants to ask one question whats wrong with the dab? seriously i feel like everyone just shits on it to look either cool or hip i really dont get the hate

[@Chase247]

its cringe and the animation looks weirdly unnatural. the game is trying to be cute by referencing a trendy dance thats literally 10 years old but it did not hit at all (youre allowed to like it thats just my opinion)

[@user-bb2op9he1x]

@@Chase247 why is it cringe? and wdym its cringe? these are the important questions lol

[@crashur3600]

Fun fact about XOXO: If you equip the mummy bandages, the Brinestone Jacket from SR, the pink sandals with the socks, and put on the shorts, then do this emote, you are as close as you can get to Sans from Undertale in Splatoon 3.

[@kado-2323]

8:14 Yes, yes I am actually.

[@CapriGaming24]

For me, “Who’s Next” was the best emote for a long time, but once we got “Backflip Atcha”, that was instantly my soul tie emote. The backflip is so sick, and the pose gives off a dope feeling like your character going “you can’t fuck with me” and it’s perfect for my own personality.

[@LunarFae-]

Roundhouse ballerina is probably my favorite that I own, but I like most of them with a few exceptions. The only one that I really hate is XOXO. Idk why, but that one particular just flips the rage switch in my brain. Whether someone on my team or the opposing one uses it I will leave the queue to join a different lobby, I despise it that much.

[@DanielLoyd-ug8gj]

I really like sisters style because (I think) it's the squid sisters pose from splatoon 1 and I LOVED that game

[@MochaOmg]

I wonder if possible to get any emotes that you missed. I haven't had the time to play Splatoon like that anymore because you know I'm getting older. But hopefully, you can still get the items that you missed.

[@Speckitt]

You can get previous emotes from red capsules in the shell-out machine, minus card shark and bait the hook.

[@waltterikoponen8426]

My personal favourite and the one I use is XOXO or how you write it :) I just think it's nice

[@strawberrymilk607]

XOXO, Bashful Brag, and Spring Loaded are my favorite emotes :)

[@dartagnanlopez1179]

I would honestly like "Squiddin Around" if the ending face was better. Same goes fot "Sister's Style"

[@kimirs16]

I like the Off the Hook emote. Been using it since I unlocked it! 😊
