Is This The BEST Stage In Splatoon 3?

[@tomatoblate2170]

I was shocked the first time I found the trench flank; it definitely shows how far the devs have come in terms of map design

[@wolfyspl]

From Brinewater dump to umami trash, now we get crableg capital and robo rom en

[@Mr.GameCrazy]

Speaking of map design, I wonder if they're gonna rework some more maps like they did with Mahi-Mahi Resort.

[@sonicrunn3r895]

Me when I already knew all this 2 weeks ago because I like analysing stages

[@NotThatAverage]

They euthanized the old map devs

[@Heyn_17]

​​@@Mr.GameCrazyone each season minimum

[@Les____]

this stage is the only splatoon 3 stage to have a flank route that’s not specific to a certain game mode which is INSANE

[@sadydorman56]

Fr man, flanks are really important in most shooter games, and this is the pinical of all flanks

[@LonleyCannoli]

Just a little cool touch and even flank to the stage, you can use your zipcaster to the big ramen bowl. This stage is one of the best in my opinion!

[@EchoSynthesis]

Omg I haven't tried zip on this stage yet I need to try this

[@Ouch.3]

And the soup in the bowl is considered water so it launches you back to your zipcaster recall

[@unl3ash3d95]

This stage IS the best

[@sonicrunn3r895]

@@Ouch.3 The big question: Is the soup in the bowl actually eaten by anyone? They confirmed that squid ink ramen is a delicacy in universe, would it be adding some to it if you zipcaster recalled up there? I MUST KNOWWWWW

[@justanormalperson6719]

You can also put a sprinkler below the bowl its pretty useful to take mid

[@cupdog_spl]

As a friend of mine said, “I’ve never yelled behind as much in this game, it’s great.” And I agree! Rom-en is so cool and I’m really excited to see tournaments on it!

[@Pearlina_DV]

I love the height and alternative routes in this map. Unlike other maps, you can actually have comebacks on this map. 🙄

[@lid3543]

If the map design stays that this quality alongside map reworks with the same quality the rest of second year of splatoon 3 is looking really good

[@Fathom732]

I love how positive Chara makes the seasons, especially how he's more focusing on the good parts of the game.

[@sonicrunn3r895]

This was the first time I overanalysed a map immediately after seeing it, but like I KNEW this map was gonna be pretty good. I feel like this map will be decently good for brushes, roller and maybe tent because of those tunnels having no jumps or ledges to take, making a decent flank for all 3 types.

[@Twig_the_Blue_Pikmin]

Something I love about both new maps is how much they play around with letting you make jumps thanks to the Tower in TC! It makes the mode feel a lot more fun to me with how many different places you can get to now with it

[@brofeline6641]

I personally love the new ramen stage it’s so fun and whimsical

[@dr.happyfuntimes1214]

And the little background robots are so cute

[@rubenrave08]

When I was playing this stage, I felt a hint of nostalgia for some odd reason and I was in love with this stage!

[@Optic_220]

They actually did so good with this map its insane

[@sewoh100]

I like how Robo ROMen looks like the "Cool S" drawing

[@bethmoth22]

The "tunnels" are the BEST thing ever because I love putting beacons under them and the enemy team almost never notices them and I can sneak them from behind on splatozones ect.

[@Totasfunnynumber]

A way to make Wahoo interesting is to give it cannons, one near each spawn, and maybe one in the middle. Getting long rails that cover a good portion of the map would also be fun, and add to the amusement park theme. Basically, do what baby park did and crank the chaos up to 11.

[@keypiece9764]

How about the cannons launch you over the mid so they can b the flanks.

[@Totasfunnynumber]

@@keypiece9764 that's kinda what the rails were for, but that would also be fun

[@adrianleonce455]

Soooo, with this season's stages + the Drizzle Season stages + the Mahi Rework, is it safe to say the devs CAN make good or decent stages. Or do we need more future stages/reworks to solidify this claim?

[@Rarest26]

They’re getting somewhere, but we still need a couple of revamps for the shittier stages to say for sure.

[@jayyy3820]

I think we need to see a little more before we can confirm honestly. But this is a HUGE step In the right direction

[@Fridgemasters]

they really need to focus on reworks at this point, even with the new stages, it feels like a good 70% of the maps are still borderline unplayable. hammerhead, umami, barnacle, brinewater, mincemeat, wahoo, eeltail, undertow and scorch NEED to be reworked so badly it’s not even funny

[@abdulrahiimliadi2002]

@@Fridgemastersbarnacles fine imo but the rest definitely

[@twewymuncher]

@@Fridgemastersbarnacle wahoo and undertow are fine (they could use modifications but they’re not desperate for them) but the rest yeah 100% they need to be modified. Scorch zones is outright disgusting to play on.

[@Imakidormaybeasquid]

im so glad to see this upward trend towards giving stages their original flare back, compared to the incredibly sanitized stages we dealt with at launch, this just makes me hope they do more stage revisions with this newer design philosophy in mind

[@magic3734]

Video 1 of commenting on Chara videos till brella gets fixed [new start as it did get buffed]

[@Drdoomglazer947]

Nintendo really cooked with this stage (they almost burnt the ramen)

[@Devin-y8g]

Lol

[@maplemiles3381]

They cooked this season very well

[@tjr_ezra]

4:15 i like the amount of options here where even when attackers take the tower under the trench you can still shoot them through the grates, that tiny detail is just incredible to me for some reason.

[@happypika3]

5:23 Bipedal Squid was right with the maps being AI generated ngl

[@Neoxon619]

Good to see the devs finally lock in when it comes to the new maps.

[@maplemiles3381]

Plus making the game even better

[@alexaistrying]

I tried playing a roller on this the other day and it feels so much fun, especially just painting the lower routes around mid. I'm finally starting to like my carbon again. Thank you, my beloved ramen shop

[@Thereactor-qs7vn]

I was playing with the new dulies and found that if you use splash down before you die the hands still fall and hit the ground and when you come back you get to keep your special bar half charged.-love your vids

[@tt._.donald]

3:37 For Me, I really like this wall since this so much better to flank instead going so far to the other side. I also like using this flank when the enemy is pushing and hit them with Splashdown to give them a surprise attack.

[@Champeonic]

This map quickly became one of, if not, my favorite map. Especially tower control

[@k1baede728]

IVE BEEN WAITIMG FOR THIS!! ramen stage is so cool, one of the best maps in the series imo.

[@Galiaverse]

Stage themed around getting fit: Stage themed around eating carbs:

[@loadingname4947]

Even though rainmaker isn't as amazing as the other modes, I think it only needs small changes to be good. Maybe push the left check back a tiny bit and raise the height on the platform to the left of it, or make that snipe area rainmaker-free, and it's instantly as good as the others

[@shamaynebrown-williams95]

I feel like it's the urchin underpass of splatoon 3 mixed with goby arena and that fitness area form splatoon 2, if I'm correct it has some flank routes, the lower areas also provide some space, every ranked mode on this I can vibe with... but tower control is where I have to talk to someone at.

[@Linkathon]

My friend and I found the right side flank about 15 minutes into the launch of the season. We were playing the maps in 1v1. I launched towards it and ended up completely catching him off guard.

[@EchoSynthesis]

NINTENDO IS FINALLY COOKING WOOOOOOO

[@Maroony_Yt]

*Cough Cough* Reeflux deco *cough cough*

[@wolfyspl]

Reeflux 360? 😂

[@Maroony_Yt]

@@maplemiles3381 They just did reeflux dirty in every way, buffs exist for a reason I dont hate the season because of it, It’s just one thing that I feel like could be better

[@star-spangledfemboy8114]

I went into this stage completely blind and was blown away with how many flanks and movement options there were! It made those 3 minutes of turf feel like a marathon, in a good way! It stole the show for the season for me!

[@paperworms7115]

3:33 you can also jump to the rail from the platform via sub strafing after the rail is inked in your color, it’s cool

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

This stage gives me so much Splatoon 1 vibes and it's amazing, the devs have come so far in terms of map design

[@hallaloth3112]

I just love the verticality with so many walls being inkable. It allows for so much more freedom of movement.

[@willwunsche6940]

I love the tunnel!!! This map feels like a Splatoon 1 map almost. The trench is worthy being called a "gimmick" that we are all after. Think Zones and Tower will probably be the most fun on this map for me

[@ihavenoideahowtocallmyself3849]

It’s funny how in Sizzle Season, they relearnt how to make stages that are at least playable, in Drizzle Season they remembered how to make stages that are actually good/great and now in Chill Season they relearnt how to make good/great WITH good and memorable gimmicks (Tunnel on Ramen and elevators and dual mid on Bluefin)

[@raaaaid]

I absolutely love mid on this map, fighting it out with all the different routes and angles you can have on both sides is such a blast.

[@gregvs.theworld451]

It's nice to have flank routes in the game again. I had to get used to people being able to actually sneak up behind me and having to force myself to actually make sure I'm checking all my sides for what's going on. That said, it was refreshing more than frustrating, and as a Stamper main makes me realize I can be devious with flank route too.

[@WaterFudge69]

Barnacle clams coming to haunt chara again after getting it 15 times in a row that one time lmaooo

[@ludwigvanmichael1183]

This update was fine...my only problem with it was the music...idk man, i kinda think they shouldn't have added No Quarters by Chippy Chips in the game...cuz its such a MASSIVE BOP it distracts me from the game and just makes me wanna bob my head to the rhythm, messing up my gyro controls XD

[@raycraft001]

lol same 😂 it’s a good problem to have

[@PatrickBartleyMusic]

This is definitely my favorite map in the game, might even be a hard contender for my favorite map in the series.

[@maplemiles3381]

This map is a factor to how great this season is

[@NathanTruby]

Wow, this map is actually pretty amazing Makes me hope that they come back to the other maps in the future and give them a similar treatment

[@Spxghetti.]

Crazy to think these are the same people who made mincemeat

[@السراقالمجهول]

defiantly one of the best maps i ever played on, its so open it has multiple routs, inkable walls? its AMAZING!

[@Aaroendz]

I'd say rainmaker on Robo ROM-en is the best in my opinion because when u get to the checkpoint on the left side, it more easy to get to the goal from that point 'cause when u have the rainmaker, it's more easy alert for the opposing team

[@The21stGamer]

The very unique way the stage plays with flank routes and differing heights kinda reminds me of TF2 Koth maps

[@iiaquatiq]

Ok so glad to see I’m not the only one who LOVED what the devs did with this stage, cool

[@alexisroux2448]

paintable walls?! wait that doesn't exists

[@Metacred]

How did this and brinewater come from the same game

[@Totasfunnynumber]

Hey. At least brinewater's pretty. Unlike hammerhead

[@monster25man]

As a Min Min main in ARMS and Smash, good to see Ramen never lets me down in Nintendo games! :b

[@DishWithDash]

I need to get used to flanking again

[@lexties]

tbh even in turf this is one of the best maps, genuinely one of the most fun ones to play on

[@Fenyx_Birb]

Honestly, this is really what Splatoon 3 needed just really damn good maps!

[@pastaman7278]

I have noticed that blasters are insane on bluefins last point, you can camp the elevator or the inkable walls people have to climb

[@Glory2Snowstar]

That trench flank brought me RIGHT back to Saltspray. They cooked hard with this ramen.

[@SonicKai2003]

it's funny, I actually thought that this looked a lot like Mussel forge when I first saw it. Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that. This is definately one of my favourite maps in the game. Don't know if I like it more than Shipshape, I need to spend more time on it first

[@charis_spl]

Can’t wait to see a tetra/wiper using the tunnel flank 20 times in a single game

[@LunarZ.V]

Love the new season guys? I love it too ❤. Ur a pro ProChara

[@Cuttlefishyt]

I love the flank on both sides

[@dontlookfo2763]

this map feels to me like if you took all the best parts of reef, musselforge and saltspray and smashed them together (the flanks in particular are what remind me of saltspray)

[@Gio_64]

It's an okay map, Mid feel cramp with the wall as my main problem, it feels as though you are next to a wall irl as limited space, that opponent could easily take advantage of.

[@f1shn0td3d]

This map seems like if agony and Misselforge were combined and made into something actually good

[@colinm4055]

Fully convinced that Robo is just a heavily modified Musselforge.

[@capdahat2598]

This stage isn't only good from a game design perspective, the setting is super fun and memorable! The stage has a lot of personality and I feel like many other s3 stages, especially the ones at launch, have been lacking in that department. Not only are the devs getting better at designing, they're getting better at creating "fun" maps (I think shipshape and crableg are super cool!! And I like Barnacle a lot too). Though I do think the better game design helps a lot as well, I think Brinewater is really pretty but it's very overshadowed by how awful the map is lmao.

[@Moonshine568]

An actual good open map with flank routes without rank modes......AM I HALLUCINATING?!

[@batmanbud2]

Obligatory "this map reminds me of that ARMS character they put in Smash" comment. And this stage is the best. . .just like Min Min (in ARMS and in Smash).

[@rockinggamerdude]

It also reminds me of Gobi Arena, for some reason

[@Tron1110]

Splatoon 3 fans have been eating good recently and i hope the trend continues

[@maplemiles3381]

The weapon kits are great and I think things are getting better and the past seasons showed signs of improvements

[@_Pinky_Dink]

I noticed after playing eliter on rain it's veryyy easy to snipe people from across the map on the raised platforms and also very easy to camp their spawn... 😅

[@chairpenguin2370]

Hot take: this is gonna be the reef of s3.

[@TherionX2.]

Yeah robo robmen is a banger stage, after the rotation changed i played tower on bluefin and uhhhhhh

[@cameronmedina5367]

this map reminds me of a mixture of Musselforge Fitness and Goby Arena

[@Otohime457]

no way Nintendo adding flank routes

[@Friigidus]

At first I hated ramen but now after the review I see how surprisingly good it is but bluefin is still my favorite in three game

[@mtatters3603]

I like to wonder how this stage is in the same game as undertow

[@Gray__Abyss]

I think it's really funny how most other people seem to like this stage but even with the tunnel, my random teams always end up trapped in spawn. Like. I can't tell what we're really doing wrong in it, or if I'm just going against teams hanging out together in VC. (note: i mostly just play turf)

[@jajathenewking6131]

I actually hate the tower control for this map, but maybe that's just me having skill issues here.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

Admittedly I'm not really a fan of RoboROMen. Admittedly that's mostly because I'm salty from the fact that I got absolutely obliterated my first time playing through and I'm not really sure why. Although my guess is that being a new-ish player (I only started playing splatoon with 3) and never having actually met a serious flank route threw me for a loop.

[@aveage-brush-player]

I still really dont get the musselforge comparison, mussel was just a big mountain to fight on with insignificant spawn areas

unrelated to the video but can they add a long sleeved red shirt/jumper/sweater so chara's content drip is complete anyway yeah idc if this map sucks in comp it's the most fun one they've added
