THIS is why they added checkpoints to rainmaker in Splatoon 3

[@nicko2222]

POV: longest B- rank match

[@davidron7850]

I hate the fact that..l This is true

[@arkethel]

see that's funny but I think this is an X rank match with Arashi on the other team

[@LeanCussyCat]

Super long match sir

[@-iinkena-9818]

1500 like

[@anarchysplatcast]

im on that c- grind

[@Camphreneas]

The match is so short that it’s short enough to fit in an entire screen recording from the Switch’s video capture💀

[@neptuneash4617]

Bro I’m dead ☠️☠️☠️☠️💀💀💀

[@jazzerjaw]

I still got a game like this in 3, sometimes you just roll a team over lol

[@sadchild9478]

@@jazzerjaw yeah but at least the other team had a chance

[@tomatoprincess2709]

Still happens in 3 xD

[@prestonandtom9337]

​@@jazzerjawIt really only happens in mahi mahi though.

[@redred622]

The bottom feeders music was the perfect fit

[@misterdedlift4879]

Like a bunch of hillbilly vikings.

[@shrimp-adoodle3444]

Even with checkpoints I’ve still had games just like this in Splat 3.

[@CJBoxyeet]

Lol same, i had one earlier today

[@guythatdosethingssometimes2651]

Yeah, but at that point it's just a skill issue.

[@NoirLouisStream]

@@guythatdosethingssometimes2651 I would say skill and team matter more. Splatoon games really down to your decision making since some of the troublesome special in 2 are removed for 3, you know, we don’t need Stingray, right?

[@c001Ba30nDuD]

@@NoirLouisStream Ngl I say it really is a skill issue. You must be wiped twice to lose under 30 seconds, it's extremely hard to lose under 30 seconds

[@arjunbaweja7755]

legit that is a u/team issue then LOL

[@hobodude1692]

Checkpoints were an amazing addition and now I (hopefully) won't want to stop to playing Splatoon for the day after my first rainmaker match of the day

[@GeoDash7u7]

Even with checkpoints something similar may coincidentally happen

[@moth4504]

I can confirm that it can happen with check points too, it's only 2 or 3 seconds longer since you have to break the barrier again after getting the checkpoint

[@dirtydarcy]

Yeah one time I got it on the checkpoint then went STRAIGHT for the goal and that was it 😭

[@chaosblow4838]

it does help though

[@alperkocer535]

i managed to pull it off in 1 (one) match

[@crow2250]

oh yeah it still happens, but it gives the enemy team an actual chance to defend, so at that point its more so on the enemy team than it is on brute forced

[@oddpotato3626]

I've played games in 3 where people have tried to take it to the end before they got a checkpoint and learnt the hard way that checkpoints are not optional

[@legoshiishot]

I did that too

[@enderbragen1659]

Learnt that while playing in recon mode

[@emiliomurkmere]

oh, the agony of playing rainmaker in spoon 2. people immediately destroying your team and racing to the goal.

[@foreverc5000]

I miss that stage

[@monamadyson]

I go back to 2 to play them bc i miss them sometimes too

[@whooshylushy743]

The pain of getting kelp domed in rainmaker, adding checkpoints was a good choice.

[@thebrightstartt9294]

Well, to be fair, the Pro did disconnect at the start, and I think the scope you guys killed after popping rain did too (not 100% sure tho because they might’ve had a sec or two left to respawn), but yeah you absolutely demolished those guys.

[@kalbex9376]

The fastest game west of the Mississippi!

[@akabane211]

This is how some Splat3 matches are too though :’)

[@Shockcroc]

I just stumbled across this video 8 months late to see im in it. This must be really old because i stopped using the roller in like 2018

[@thinkublu]

god this is satisfying tho

[@hhhunter9227]

Yet no one pointed out if this was in Splatoon 3 everyone will get kicked out in 10 sec

[@starletheaven]

That was beautiful omfg TEAMWORKKKK!!!

[@TheRealFry3]

No this is the power of Booyah-ing at the start

[@mmmnah7684]

I think this is the same map where I yelled my lungs out when i won a 3v4 all be it was near the end

[@ElasticPotato27]

And it still occasionally happens in splat 3

[@Matias-fh2hf]

This is a switch clips worth in time

[@oranplan1630]

Well that was certainly something. Or rather... lack of something.

[@rorokun_1666]

Holy crap I forgot about sting ray

[@shannonhall3931]

I still lost the enimes speedrunners they go zoom pls more checkpoints

[@antontribelgorn3641]

23 seconds?! are you speedrunning getting to X rank by chance?

[@astraesl9547]

Nah it's just the low rank experience

[@zman04]

Lol I’ve been X rank in splatoon 2 for quite awhile by now. This match was pretty funny though seeing as it fit in a single switch clip

[@ReflectedMantis]

Lol I still get matches like this in Splatoon 3 even with the extra checkpoint as both the winner and the loser.

[@knightofchill9648]

They saw this and was like What the fu 5 years later: adds checkpoint to rainmaker.

[@JoseFernandez-cd7ew]

Well, to be fair, I've had rainmaker matches in Splatoon 3 that are like 15 seconds longer

[@ComicalRiddler]

you should showcased this one on kelp dome

[@zombiepups7916]

this happened to me in splat 3

[@invadin2825]

Ahahahah I love splaton

[@zman04]

Same

[@megajaredx9679]

Makes sense

[@NagumoHaruya]

i had a clam blitz match in Splatoon 3 once that only lasted 30 seconds before it was a K.O..yes i was in the winning team btw 🤣

[@UnderAvg]

Also Stingray

[@squiffurthewolf6276]

I miss stingray, that would be the only reason why I come back to this game, and maybe the k jrs bubble combo, and humpback pump track, and splashdown canceling, and shifty stations

[@samuelgentry4125]

Wait checkpoints are forced?

[@kingkaga898]

I like this actually

[@Roxleton]

well one of the guys disconnected so the game would’ve ended before you could finished in splatoon 3

[@hobbes2234]

works

[@teira1336]

Wow I still think rainmaker kinda sucks bit damn, not this, this is hell

[@2biggunz598]

nice sub count

[@ClayAdams]

Kelp Dome was worse. Easy stroll across the gates and the game

[@redwilliams1804]

Skill issue tbh. They put rainmaker permanently on easy mode

[@nnoxx_PK]

Skill issue

[@startheangel9760]

Memories, also you could do this in Splatoon 1 with Tower Control so they added checkpoints too

[@MeMyselfI__]

0:04 Looks like Splatoon 2’s been hanging out with 3 lately because what is that?

[@juicedup14]

i had games where the checkpoint didn't even matter

[@bighomieben]

and also why they removed stingers because their OP

[@Meep_kun]

and this was even worse in Splatoon 1 Blackbelly skatepark I remember a match that lasted a total of 10 seconds 2 hydras, me a dynamo roller, and an E-liter the 2 Hydras throw their bombs at the rainmaker shield, it blows up splatting 2 enemies, I climb up the tower and splat the remaining one, the E-liter pushes up and uses burst bomb to take out another enemy who was on top of the wall near mid, no enemies on sight so I grab the rainmaker and push to the end goal

[@Silly_Luca]

Fun facts with Luca!!! I'm your hundredth subscriber

[@slime_creeper439]

That happened to me as well. Within 30 seconds I made it to the pedestal instantly. So yes checkpoints make sense. Plus rainmaker is more fun with checkpoints on my opinion.

[@vampsheeVAs]

i love how in every video i find thts " this is an issue splatoon2 has " it always features the sting ray LMAO

[@KoriTheSilly]

I remember when I used to carry in Splatoon 1's rainmaker mode, finishing in just short of a minute most of the time in camp triggerfish. Good times!! I suppose the checkpoints make it certainly more fair for players who encounter people like me :P

[@jambon2730]

I miss when stage were actually original and not claustrophobia inducer

[@saikakasashi3689]

Yep, that's what's makes this mode fun

[@elk3407]

Adding checkpoints hardly changes anything. I've had 40 second rainmaker matches

[@missmadness564]

The other team had a disconnector so they didn't have much of a chance

[@tjr_ezra]

but like.. stingray's gone,,,

[@AnthonyDelgato]

Splatoon 2 was so toxic holy cow

[@andrewle4989]

I just had a game like this

[@Supersonic1369_2]

Wow Splatoon 2 is so old now

[@Rainjuh]

Lol

[@eclipse_eternal8178]

I still had a game that ended right as it started in sploon 3 XD

[@vinndiggs100]

Yeah fair enough that they added checkpoints in the 3rd game

[@recondito]

Now that happens in 3 but with Splat Zones. Had a 30 seconds match today 0 to 100.

[@m3lt_d0wn]

i’ve done the exact same thing on this map 💀💀 it’s so funny

[@yoshistrings]

This is why they subtracted stingray from rainmaker in Splatoon 3

[@VerschneiteDana]

I believe you can still just skip the checkpoints. I believe I saw a video that did that.

No you can't skip checkpoints. They won't count to the counter at the top
