Salmon Run can easily turn from a fun co-op game into an intense Touhou nightmare

[Maxler]

Salmon run is literally the "either you have the best time of your life or you want to jump off a window" mode of the game

Anytime a Splatoon game comes out this channel becomes a Splatoon channel for the next few months.

I once heard someone say that the small fry’s in salmon run bullied our small fry, and that is the perfect justification for not feeling bad about beating up the small fry enemy’s in salmon run

[failbuster]

Important note that not enough people talk about: DO NOT leave Slammin' lids unattended, sometimes you have to cut your losses and kill them, or else they'll block of pathways, and if multiple are out there, they can box you in. Also sometime it's worth sacrificing yourself by jumping under the Slammin's barrier to make it drop on a boss that's under it, even if it kills you (don't do that every time though, it's better if you're not dead)

I love how Scott almost felt obligated to do a Spamton bit with the Bigshot.

[minasthirith]

The [[BIG SHOT]] part caught me by surprise.

It was perfect.

I hope a lot of people see this—PLEASE use "This way!" more often. I cannot stress how many times the entire team does not no where the Salmonids are spawning because one player is deciding to stick out on their own and everyone else is still trying to *find* the spawning enemies.

4:58 Best executed big shot joke in any Splatoon 3 video by far

[mk-matt]

I feel like drizzler can be much more of a pain than people realize ESPECIALLY in fog.

I have never laughed at something this true

The only tip I can give for salmon run is to always ink walls as well as the floor. They can often be the best possible escape and save a precious few seconds. Also when it gets dark and you have no idea what the gimmick might be. GET TO HIGH GROUND. If you get glow flies or grillers you will have a slight advantage. Also, if there is only a couple seconds remaining and the quota is filled. Focus entirely on survival and reviving should be 2nd priority. Do not worry about eggs of killing


Edit: since this is also getting a lot more traction than I expected. I thought I’d add one more tip I forgot. Do not think the top of the fish stick is safe. If you are in a place they can’t get to, the salmonids will jump to get to your location. Also during low tide, retreating can be a very solid choice after quota is filled. Especially if your getting over run, it won’t work forever so make sure your prepared to fight for at least a bit

Calling the tenta missile salmon Satan is so accurate

[ZizZap]

Another smaller tip for weapon roles: brushes and rollers, **you are on revive duty, ESPECIALLY if you're down two or three players.** You can move while inking, and in terms of brushes you also have extra maneuverability.

Actually, on the topic of brushes: Brushes, you can run over grates by inking. This is incredibly useful for smthn like Spawning Grounds.

And for anyone else: if your teammates need a revive and you're being chased, try chucking a bomb in their general direction. They'll thank you later.

Hey, some little things you missed.

Flyfish's two Missile launchers actually *do different things.* Left targets random players and Right targets the closest one. Take the Left one out first. Also, there can only be a maximum of 3 Flyfish, and it might actually be better to only take out the left canister than actually killing them. Three crippled Flyfish is significantly easier to deal with than one full power one.

If you see a Fish Stick show up in Cohozuna, KILL IT BEFORE IT LANDS. The Cohozuna can jump up and land on it, making it damn near impossible for a lot of weapons to shot it.

Speaking of Cohozuna, the Hydra Splatling and E-Liter deal extra damage to him. Don't even bother throwing eggs if you have those weapons, just shoot him.

I'm not fully sure about this, but I've heard some people say that Cohozuna takes more damage if you shoot it's belly. No idea if this is true but it's worth a shot?

Big Shots are higher priority targets than you made them out to be. Having them around can completely wipe a team, and tons of weps *hate* jumping. That damage adds up, and killing them first gives you a cannon that makes the rest of the wave significantly easier.

The Explosher has bomb properties, but Blasters *do not.* This makes no sense they literally explode what the fuck

And that's about it.

Wasn’t expecting an actual salmon run crash course guide but this is actually super helpful

[ethantaylor]

You could really hear Scott’s League of legends side come out whenever he actually expects Random children to play the game min maxed

[pigeongod]

That Spamton impression was phenomenal

[BlueBerry]

The worst part of dealing with flyfish is that even when you have a chance to get both cans on launch 1, a random salmonid will get right in front of you and deflect the bomb

[FissionMetroid]

I think you're REALLY underselling how important inking walls is. When doing hazard level max waves, it was everyone's immediate priority to get all of the walls inked since you're constantly having to move and keep your distance from how much garbage gets thrown at you. From what I've read, if you beat HLM you instantly unlock the full shop if you haven't already. Also one more crucial tip, golden eggs shot from the egg cannon have bomb properties and can damage Satan's launchers.
