@@lol-ih1tl talking about competitive yeah sure but im not talking about that, i know that saltspray rig is horrible for competitive but for casual play its fine and still is interesting to move around. In splat 2 and 3 the maps arent as fun to traverse because they feel flat and when you want to get somewhere you only have to think about it what direction to hold on the stick where in the splat 1 maps you could approach different areas from all sorts of angles like in saltspray you can take an elevator to mid or go around or go up the wall and then jump down or if you have beacons go to the area behind mid and move in from there. The maps just feel more engaging to move around in while in splat 2 and 3 it fell like you just spawn and run straight in the direction to mid because theres no reason to use a different route, also some maps in 3 i think make game worse on all levels because they just aren’t balanced on certain modes and lead to spawn camping or similar situations (this may be the case with splat 1 as well i was not that good at video games when that game came out)

I love Splatoon 3 regardless, but you can definitely feel that they designed the movement mechanics before the map design decisions were finalised. We have the mechanic to scale walls quickly, yet there's arguably only one map in the entire game where it's even remotely useful for that. It's so beyond bizarre that the TUTORIAL AND THE SINGLE PLAYER have creative uses for squid surge shortcuts (the height you leap up getting you over certain length uninkables) yet no such ones exist anywhere else.

[@legoboy7107]

@@sonicrunn3r895 Yeah. I think the very restrictive map design decisions were also probably a pretty late decision, because back in that fall of 2021 trailer we saw things like flank routes on Eeltail that are now gone, or how Museum in that trailer seems almost identical to its Splatoon 1 incarnation rather than the final version we got. Not to mention weird things on Mahi in the final game that blatantly defy the laws of physics and clearly look like artifacts of a rushed decision to change things.

Part of me wonders if Nintendo changed the map layouts due to feedback from Japanese players. I mean as far as I'm aware Japanese companies priorities the opinion of their homeland over the west (which does make sense).

I have no solid opinions on the maps however as I start with 3 and worked my way back. Currently doing the octoexpansion.

@@hikaru9624 I suspect it's more just down to differences of whoever's on the map designer team and who's leading the direction. It's also possible they downsized and oversimplified some of the newer maps because the Switch is a handheld tablet while the Wii U was a home console where you have to play it in a stable TV setting. Many other Nintendo studios had a tendency to do that with portable games, _*cough_ Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon (I love this game but it was different for it) _cough cough._ Or maybe they just have a slightly different less experimental direction for the maps that I and most people soft disagree with.

The more I think about it though, the more I suspect they were aiming to change the maps to freshen them up and make them different enough from the originals while giving more of a challenge or something (again I started with 3 and have no solid opinion about any of the maps... except wahoo world, that map got boring real quick for me).

[@stevieie2837]

The map design is really reckless anarchy. They were not trying to do anything with these maps, they really were just like "this is cool to move around in" The map design has gotten better with each game in terms of making it an actual map you're supposed to compete on and not just a weird space you occasionally find an enemy hanging out in, but I'd argue they ended up imposing too many rules on themselves. A tight mid area, split chokepoints between spawn and mid, and more intentional decisions of which walls "should" be climbable or not, when it's almost always more fun if most every wall is climbable I don't miss the grates though all my homies hate grates this post was made by Explosher gang

[@TheLaXandro]

The interesting thing is that they pretty much got it right the first time round, Walleye is a launch day map and it's still one of the better maps in the series, with its main issues being potentially solved by 3's spawn mechanics changes. Sadly it is not in 3 yet.

0:43 I've heard that this map is in Splatoon 3, but I've been playing that game for a few months now and I have yet to see it...🤔🤔🤔

Oh my Cod imagine Barnacle and Dime in Splatoon 1!

Man, this really makes me miss Saltspray rig. "Unfairness" be dammed, it was stupid fun to play

[@Cerbleur07]

Press F in chat for Chara's beacon supply.

OG hammerhead was really something special 🥹

[@NiGHTSIntoMemes]

Saltspray may be garbage, but it's _my_ garbage.

Always nice to revisit Splatoon 1, also enjoyed our match in the tournament... Extremely tough match but I loved it. I'd like to ask, could I have some critiques about how I played Splatana Stamper, I feel I did pretty well during our scorch gorge match but not as much on wahoo, especially considering my kills... I'm aiming to improve for the future and would love some tips

Of course a bot replys...

Is it just me or do I vastly prefer how ink looks in Splatoon 1? 2 & 3 just look gooey and unsatisfying it doesn't seem right

[@MintyRyans]

Good vid wth good editing👍

0:16 wait a min. Chargers are a 2 shot?

It’s been so long. This made my day.

[@FennekinFox326]

The first Splatoon is still the best looking.

When your here after splat 3 came out and mahi is actually here….

[@catsareawesome256]

Remember when they didn’t have flat maps that are just meatgrinders for snipers?

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

I miss Splatoon 1 maps

[@musico4609]

I literally played Splatoon 1 last night, what are the odds that you would too woa!

[@Kyrmana]

Looking at those maps, we got robbed...

[@joelhatterini6392]

Even the "bad" maps in Splatoon 1 are better than Splatoon 3, at least they have some space to move in and reasons to use the movement. Oh, and walls you can climb. Why are there no walls you can climb in Splatoon 3? They added, like, a whole mechanic to do that faster and there's no walls to climb.

[@peaceatrest]

other than some of the weird animations of splat 1 I miss the style and lighting of the first game. I'm pretty sure they changed style a little for the fact that the switch is handheld but the world looks so lived in. and part of the way the graphics were weird in one was limiting hardware. but I still like it more for some reason

I MISS SPLATOON ONE KILLER WHALE

[@CloudbearSapphire]

unrelated but what was the song at 1:44? it sound familiar

[@KIIROCORE]

it’s from metal gear solid i think?

[@lumi_2423]

Damn i really miss Splatoon 1

[@catsinwonderland7473]

I love splatoon 3 so much and miss splatoon 1 DEARLY. With museum back the ridiculous strategies I used to pull I can now pull once again T-T and it feels so nice T-T and the music oh god I miss it I miss the sound effects, I miss the dumb maps, I miss the dumb strategies, I miss the stupid gear abilities. Splatoon 1 is literally everything I love about splatoon 3. So much fun (except the mini splatlings and eliter mains yall legit gave me IBS) I’m not kidding when I say this game was probably the funnest I’ve ever had in an online game, yes I’ve raged many times, my game pad is very distressed and scratched, but when it’s not you at the expense of ass kicking, it’s so much fun. Sometimes splatoon is better off unhinged. The most fun I had in so so so long playing splatoon was when they added back flounder heights, oh god that was so much fun. :)
