THIS is why they added checkpoints to rainmaker in Splatoon 3

Their splattershot pro disconnected unfortunately.

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

[hobodude]

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

[redred]

The bottom feeders music was the perfect fit

[shrimp-adoodle]

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

[GeoDashu]

Even with checkpoints something similar may coincidentally happen

[oddpotato]

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

[startheangel]

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

[emiliomurkmere]

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

[juicedup]

i had games where the checkpoint didn't even matter

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

[vampsheeVAs]

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

[whooshylushy]

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

[slime_creeper]

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.

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

[akabane]

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

[kalbex]

The fastest game west of the Mississippi!

[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

[thebrightstartt]

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.

[saikakasashi]

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

[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
