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

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

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

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 🤞

Unfortunately stuff came up so my NA League squad won't be playing the event today. Bummed to be missing out on one so soon but hopefully we'll be back strong going forward. Good luck to everyone playing today o7

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 there are any TOs or tournament stream producers who are looking to enhance overlays, I would love to give my feedback in how to give a more visually enticing stream for your viewers that can help convey plenty of information.

Whether you run a weekly, a one off, or a LAN, I'd love to help!

Players often ask how does one become my confident. Confidence is a reflection of one’s belief in their own competence. So how does one raise competence? Competence can only be achieved through hard work. We will continue to work hard to raise our competence, our confidence, and the line.
