SPLATOON 3 BUT ITS ONLY ZIPCASTERS

[@daltongibson1033]

The word Dude was looking for about the center post in Manta Maria is "Mast". It's the part of the ship that supports the sail.

[@somerandomscrub7131]

That Zipcaster Challenge was so much fun. This challenge is definitely up there with the High Jump Challenge in terms of enjoyment it was just silly zipping everywhere!

I really hope we get a version of this challenge for wave breakers. Could make it feel like that one stage in story mode with tons of waves (especially if they upped the wave breaker health for the mode)

[@rubellite4480]

they should call it dance dance revolution lmfao

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

They should have made it so everyone was permanently in Zipcaster mode tbh, it would have made this challenge so much more fun

[@draconic.4571]

But u wouldnt be able to throw bombs

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

@@draconic.4571 Counterpoint: Bombs aren't the focus of this challenge

[@squiddler7731]

Zipcaster is a much weaker special than something like the trizooka we had in the last challenge, so if you try to spam it recklessly it's likely to just get you killed. With trizooka you had to hang back and wait for people to use their specials before its safe, but here you can punish Zipcaster users pretty easily most the time. Also next time I play this challenge, I'm gonna do the strat where you jump off the map mid-fight and then pop zip to jump back on the stage, lol

[@boltlight1244]

I feel like clam blitz would've been the best as an incentive for using the zip caster to it's fullest potential.

[@Riodile]

You can't throw clams if you're using Zipcaster, though. I'm gonna say Rainmaker would be another good option.

[@Garomasta]

Zones might've not been the best pick for this challenge. Something that would've encouraged zipping all over the place, not just mid, would've probably made it more interesting.

[@DeltaTried]

Literally any other mode would’ve been better, like my goodness

[@danielostrowski856]

@@DeltaTriedClambo Blambo would also have been pretty bad, especially since a lot of people who don’t use Zipcaster might not know that you can’t throw clams during it

[@lw1391]

Not only was zones a fantastic choice, but the map with the giant boat masts in the middle made things even better. A complete sh*tshow, and I mean that in the best possible way.

[@rubellite4480]

@@lw1391 i think undertow or mincemeat, in spite of how shitty they are, provide much more space for someone to zip to, and they couldve made it like rainmaker instead of zones, since rain could incentivise trying to dive at the rain carrier with zip to stop a push

[@erika_cuddlesworth]

it was weird. i felt like i won more often when i didnt use zipcaster at all. i literally used it once in one match to refill my inktank, not to actually zip, lol

[@phgamer4393]

yea. as a duelie i didnt use it as much

[@randomghost6266]

I feel that, I only used it when my team needed a jump point and when I needed an immediate ink refill. It felt really useful to have an emergency ink refill and a safe spot for my team to jump to while I put pressure on the zone.

[@CubesAndPortals]

2:55 thats the Shipstick. It's for checking the water quality, similar to the oil dipstick in your car.

For me, Spider-man simulator was the most fun challenge yet!

[@freebirdgamer6304]

I played only 2 games last night. I quickly realized: 1. I don't play with this special (at all tbh) to use effectively esp for Zones on Manta Maria, and 2. I played WAY better lying in wait for zip happy players to swing by/take down IMO other maps/modes might've been a better fit for this challenge. Too many Reefsliders otoh would've been pretty awesome 😂

[@asquidnamedowl]

While playing I found the best strat with the luna was the just play normally and one shot all the zips that come at you and only using zipcaster when you need to escape or get to an opponent quickly.

[@michaeledwards908]

It’s Called the Mast, the part of the ship that holds the sail

[@Kit_splat]

[@charliestewart5873]

I liked the part when he used the Zipcaster

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

I think the optimal way to play this mode is to play stamper, focus entirely on painting zone and keeping people off it with verticals, and then use zip as an ink refill only

[@No-uk9me]

That’s a lame way to play but alr go off

[@ConcavePgons]

Zipcaster needs a buff.

[@rubellite4480]

@@No-uk9me yeah, it is lame, but its optimal, like those triple splash/machine metas where such team comps were optimal to win but not fun to watch or play

[@Sanngot]

I don't know if it was a programming thing, but it should have been more like the Zipcaster levels in single player. Basically, no charging required, you have access to it at all times (at the expense of being able to use sub weapons). So much time was spent being recalled, or camping recall positions. That's my take on it, at least.

[@the.littlest.toaster]

Thats what i thought it was going to be like

[@Whodjathink]

@@the.littlest.toaster Same, I mean it even says "Unlimited Zipcasts" but it actually wasn't

[@rhikke07]

I was really upset that I wasn't able to play this because all the times were impossible in my region and scheduel, first rotation was at 11pm, second was at 11am to 1pm (I was at school), and third was at 3pm to 5pm (was having after school activity) I really hope they can make this mode like SR in S3 were you can always play it, it just has different rotations

[@Beem_08]

This challenge should be unlimited zipcaster so you stay in zipcaster until you die or even zipcaster on every weaponlike E-liter zipcaster

[@p-kong]

10:30 hey thats me here, i was thinking those exact words here too lol i didnt want the brush roll jump to fail by sticking in enemy ink during it and was aware i could embarrass myself in yt, glad to see this haha the game could have ended good; my double suction build would have been a safe zone flip here, but, alas, mashing ZR was the play as it could have possibly reset the overtime timer

[@samsee_ca]

Manta Maria was such a perfect map for this challenge I kinda wish they’d used Museum for the 2nd map instead of Hagglefish; so many more zipcastable spots

[@MattendoSpl]

i played this for 13 matches and used 0 zipcasters and just spammed suction bombs and painted the zone lol

[@LilPhant0m]

Zipcaster challenge made me cry in my first game I got put against quad octobrush. However it was very fun.

[@IHaveNoIdea5555]

Loved the challenge, just wished we could've had infinite zipcasting that keeps your special active. Would've loved to just zoom around the map

[@kngdmhts9418]

7:50 Think the missing paper outta your analogy might have been the tetra dualies, as they have the (relative) range and mobility to stay safe from zips and punish missed shots… That said, I was playing with quite a bit less power during this (about 1500-1600 power in my lobbies) so I’m not sure how it holds up at your power

[@bestestkpopfan]

I have never played this yet until around 3-4 hours mines will start but wowww that’s alot chaos. and dude fist bump?? WOWWW

[@6drago9]

The Zipcaster Challenge was awesome. And I wish the same thing to have these challenges last for 4 hours or more and I would appreciated more if the communication error didn’t occurred that many times to ruin my score either.

[@TazTheYellow]

Luna is one of my main weapons and I had a blast! Also, your forgotten word was "mast".

[@splatlandss]

I think a Zip Vs Crab special would be fun, one team is on "defense" and the other is on "offense"

[@JL-jz3]

It's called a "mast."

[@Charvalengley]

This challenge is probably the highlight of sizzle season to me

[@Charvalengley]

I players triple octobrush stamper with my group

[@Opti-Miser]

my strategy in this mode was to use my zipcaster as a free ink tank refill and paint zone as much as possible, but the mode was super fun so I got rowdy with my zip when needed bahaha (played slosher and tetras mostly as Ive never played either before!)

[@kirby260b3]

honestly im just hoping that they make it so that ink saver sub applies to zipcaster hook and they should make it so you can squidroll after zipping to the ground and also increase the range of the hook because sometimes you end up trying to zip to something but missing because you arent close enough

[@Neoxon619]

Splatoon 3: Beyond the Zip-Verse

[@fizzycolalizzie]

this challenge made me realise i actually like using angle shooter (i played a bit of slosher deco for it). i probably wouldn’t have tried it otherwise. angle + slosh combo kills are so satisfying ❤

[@WilburTheGnome]

My winrate in this challenge skyrocketed the second I stopped Zipcasting and just sharked and killed people who Zipcasted

[@drumstyx9456]

I believe the structure in the middle of Manta Maria is called a mast!

[@abra_escaped]

Missed the challenge because I didn't realize it was one rotation earlier than the past several ones... I feel like it would be a lot cooler if everyone was permanently in zip like those few singleplayer levels and you could use any weapon. For the sub weapons they could probably just move zip to A/L as long as it isn't clam

[@dynamitekaitorn7175]

Imagine Oops all Booyah Bombs but it's tower control. *HELL AWAITS*

[@cc2255tt]

As that one vCarbon main, using zip definitely will get ya killed more times than not. I’ve found it better to not zip and just play as a carbon without a special. Go for the recalls + flanks and carbon go brr.

[@davidlyckman1441]

I wish it was playing the superhero song from the zipcaster stages in single player during all the matches.

[@Rose-df4ep]

I had fun, but I kept getting matched with other luna players, and as you said, two lunas on zones for either of these stages is...not good lol

[@nachochaos]

Idk why but when i saw this challenge i thought we were gonna have zipcaster active for the ENTIRE game and not just the special gauge charging up faster

[@happypika3]

[@happypika3]

You also didn't need to use Zipcaster, just wait them to zip and use it only to refill the ink tank

[@DeltaTried]

I feel like this mode would be better if all weapons just got zip, also zones was the WORSE mode they could’ve chosen as it encourages people to play Octobrush, as it’s the best for painting zone (also since it’s the easiest to play).

[@lunarkomet]

The problem with this challenge is the challenge itself When everybody is super, then no one will be... Story mode has infinite zipcaster levels that are more satisfying

[@phgamer4393]

half the time i wouldnt even use zipcaster in the challenge since winning the object it was better for me on dualies to just dart around and also i want to keep my sprinklers up for splatzone.

[@phgamer4393]

however those rollers. man they could wreck people. the range of them was ridiciously and if they zipped behind you , you were dead. so i admit this is different for different weapons.

[@kizhaz5092]

It was more fun than zookas. I hate dying on the otherside of the map because of 3 hail mary zooka shots. At least with zip everything is a scrappy skirmish

[@Nick-08]

My strat was just to not use zip and let people come to me to die. Only zip for flanks and to get out of danger.

[@iluvdrakeandjosh]

I really didnt enjoy this challenge, unlike the trizooka one this special is jusy more difficult to use comparitively and to get the hang of. I actually spent most of my matches only using it when i needed to refuel my ink, i really wasn't into it. Maybe if it was for clam blitz it would hsve s wider range of use as well, it was just centered on one area and didnt make use of the actual special.

[@Adam_np16]

Personally this challenge was pretty bad to me. Zones is a terrible mode for this (although I don’t know what would be better), and had more fun not using zipcaster at all as it made it easier to get kills
