New video!

The Nintendo NA League has officially begun! Follow the story of my squad's gauntlet run through ladder to make it to top 8 in week one

This is another attempt at the "condensed and narrated tournament run" video format, would love to hear thoughts on it!

If specifically referring to end game S1 then probably zimi for me but the early dynamo trauma will never truly go away

Pika @pikadave465.bsky.social · 1h

I hate giant hitboxes that guarantee free trades at worst for the user in a lot of situations

S1 launch dynamo especially had to be one of the least balanced things ever introduced to a pvp game, but even after nerfs it was still obnoxious and damage up + S1 lag made it much worse

Hope pokemon folks enjoy legends ZA, I'm likely not picking it up myself but I'm enjoying watching others play it. Definitely exceeding my expectations from what I've seen so far

Ok so I got accepted to run a panel about competitive Splatoon at Hal-Con this year, and I wanted to ask #compsplatoon players if they have any opinions or ideas of things to cover in the panel!

I remembered what it's like to want to actually get good and win again and it's good to be back

Pika @pikadave465.bsky.social · 3d

I grind x any day that I have the time and drive to play but no scrim or tourney lined up. Some weeks that's nearly every day and some weeks its never. I will say though I used to be much more into pickup scrims and favored those over solo but now I favor solo, I mostly only scrim for event prep

definitely think it would be cool to have some piece of media that's especially focused on the personal impacts of comp splatoon though and one that's also able to include a voice/voices that aren't necessarily "big names" in the scene as most interviews tend to be

Pika @pikadave465.bsky.social · 3d

I think a compilation of stuff like this as a long-form splat documentary type of thing would go crazy hard, I agree with the other comments that as a series it would probably be a bit oversaturated, especially since interview-style podcasts already exist (popcast, what gus and nox have done, etc)

I dont normally have caffeine often and when I do it's usually in preparation for long days doing course work or something, I've never done it before splatoon mostly because aside from tourney days I play basically exclusively in the evening

Pika @pikadave465.bsky.social · 3d

I tried drinking coffee before a tournament for the first time today for jauntlet:
In groups I felt hella locked in and decisive to swing a lot of fights and it just worked
In top cut I crashed hella hard and did absolutely nothing lmao

Past me had no idea how right they'd be about all the time this semester would take from me...man...

Proud of myself for pushing out the vids I have been during this time but it really has not been easy. Have barely had a free moment not spent on course work, editing or league/practice in two weeks

Pika @pikadave465.bsky.social · Aug 25

Started classes back up today, got a relatively low credit hour load this time around but definitely not easy material so I’ll be putting in a lot of work on my own time. Hoping that still with that + my own place (and importantly internet) now that I’ll be able to keep up content this semester 🤞
