I FINISHED MY FIRST RUN LAST NIGHT HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS:

god i really like how this thing is structured. i kept the original dualies until i beat it the first time (and instantly went back and started a splattershot run right after) but the ending when you get all the color chips and are just running the most fucking op weapon of all time... that was really fun. i beat splat2 hero mode the first time before i maxed the hero shot and went back to speedrun bosses after i had all the upgrades and everything just because it's stupid fun running a cracked weapon. i would love to do a max hack run once i beat this with all the other weapons

speaking of: i really like the whole thing with the lockers and progressively unlocking different kits to use. that's fun and feels very true to the normal game experience. imo the ones in the first few lockers are easy enough to use so it's not like they're saddling you with something weird but it's a nice challenge

ik you can get hacks to have the vending machines for sure appear on certain floors and give you the ability to reroll the inventory but i haven't enjoyed using them yet. i really only stop off to refill lives

the luck chips are fun as fuck with dualies because you get great gameplay loops like increase max combo and item drop rates -> reefslide into a whole patch of enemies -> blow up -> recharge special instantly with items -> dualie dodge back -> reefslide into a whole patch of enemies -> blow up -> repeat and profit

my GOD these bitches gay........ i've missed them so much. the power of the rainbow saved us all? the whole expansion just reads like this:

ok i need to do another side order run or i will die

My splatoon 3 storymode and dlc related theories:

- captain 3 will have multiple moments where they're about to talk only for 1 thing or another to interrupt them.

- agent 4 and agent 8 will probably be in the dlc like how captain 3 was in splat2's dlc (agent 8 seems more likely because they already know off the hook, which we know will somehow be involved in the dlc)

- the squidbeak splatoon will be officially disbanded by the end of the story mode, this is what the direct meant when they said it'd be the finale of a saga

- - because I doubt they'll never make more splatoon games. If anything ending the squidbeak splatoon storyline will give them even more options for future game's storymodes

- deep cut aren't the villains of the story, but are definitely going to be pains in our asses. They'll see whatever the squidbeak splatoon is doing as a threat to whatever they're "looting" and will try and get in our way, but will probably come around by the end

- DJ octavio is either going to be on our side from his first appearance (asking for help because somethings stolen his army) or will join up after realizing whatever true Big Bad we have is just using him

- I feel like Tartar's got to be involved. Considering 'order' lost the last splatfest and his whole thing was about making a perfect world.

- - If you can't make the current lifeforms fit your perfect world, just bring back the mammalians ig.

- I think anything involving grizz co. And the salmonids will be reserved for the dlc, but definitely hinted towards through the existence of little buddy and whatever explains why agent 3 has him, even before the storymode starts

- - also because we know the dlc involves off the hook, and they often referenced the two of them going on salmon runs during their broadcasts. So maybe that's the connection.

Last ones are somethings that we only saw in the Nintendo treehouse live stream and so I'm putting them under a readmore incase you don't want even a scrap of spoilers from stuff beyond the trailers

- the in universe reason for this storymode being set up more like how octo expansion was is going to be related to the fact tartar is pulling the strings

- - hopefully it isn't just the whole "if you're worthy to advance to the new world" thing again but we'll see

- whatever O.R.C.A turns out to stand for is going to make everyone lose their shit. Probably. Honestly orca is the thing I'm most confused about.
