Some corrections: -There were more top Japanese players that competed for a spot in Worlds than I was aware of; it may be that Phantom Thief specializes more in Turf War than other modes, but they did beat out the likes of Melon, Dynamon, and Norishio in the Koshien event. Having now seen Day 1, I'm impressed by Phantom Thief and think they'll put up a pretty good fight against any of the other qualifiers. -Due to a translation error that caused confusion about the structure of the tournament, I share incorrect information about how the Korean qualifiers worked. The only event taking place in Tokyo is the World Championship itself. I'm told, though I have not confirmed myself, that the Korean Nintendo RUclips channel does have footage of both the regional and final qualifiers. -The player being highlighted in Unadon's segment is actually Typhon. Puyo was known to play Dapples, which is probably why the mistake was made in the original video, but in the new version that was released at the same time my video was, they correct the name, graphics, and voiceover.
this explains why pencil hasnt been nerfed in the slightest, the devs are watching clips from 6 months ago "oh so ballpoint is still broken, better nerf its accuracy"
Weirdly translated too, the one that got me the most was on the WMajin focus, the narrator seems to be talking about the use of Inkjet & the subs spin it around to be some anime-like bs saying "look at his burning determination to become world champion" 😭
the analysis in gem’s video is pretty good. he highlights alot of stuff other people thought was weird, but in a concise video format; well done gem + co!
I called you crazy for taking on such an ambitious tl project in a short time span, im so impressed you did it AND recorded a voice over to go with. my contributions to this translation was like. 1%. you are truly the GOAT
The claims the narrator makes are good, like the splash wall being set up to help out Lin, but because Nintendo never really got footage that really supports their claims, it just feels like they're making stuff up

Given inklings/octollings die falling in water, its an apt name. I watched a dog grooming video where she did three husky puppies and all them were named after the charizard line because of how dramatic huskies are in general and act like water is going to kill them.
I'm Korean, and I have watched all the way from the regional qualifiers to finals. And I NEED to correct some of the points mentioned in this video. Regional tournaments were divided into central and southern regions, and 4 teams were picked in each, making a total of 8 teams that made to finals. And for the love of woomy, the finals were NOT held in Tokyo!! It was held in the Nintendo Live in Seoul. I know, bc I was there at the scene. Also I could find the full recordings of regional and final tournaments in the official Korean Nintendo channel, but I don't blame anyone for this. The titles are in Korean, so it would be difficult for anyone to find it.
so worth mentioning i had no idea the quals were split by central and south also the tokyo bit was a mistake on my part! I was told from a friend it was hosted there, and just kind of ran with it. Thanks for corrections! e: found my error, paste of discord message Frosty (SBPC) - Today at 10:13 PM ok so i figured out where the mistake was made "the finals are to be hosted in tokyo" was not referring to regional finals they meant worlds but because it was a qualifer, they mentioned "worlds" (event) as "finals" (stage of nintendo circuit as a whole) really stupid goof on my part
Melon, chocopero, Naegora and other top Japanese players actually played in the Splatoon Koshien 2023, but got eliminated at pretty earlier stage. I think it might because Koshien in Japan only play turf wars and I know some of those players just don't like playing turf wars. This is pretty weird in Japan as you need to win a nation-wide turf war only tournament to advance into World championship but the World championship tournament uses Anarchy rules.
I cant help but see this negatively because Nintendo has proven they hate the comp scenes of their games they don't host. It just proves Nintendo is so out of touch with how their game is actually respected/played by their own top players even in a tournament their hosting.
As higher level aunz player I have scrimmed and played tournaments with and against nex and your observation is absolutely correct! Nex among the community is known as a “rat” as he is extremely talented at getting behind the opponent and taking positions that require time and resources to remove him from
Honestly I think the person writing the script of the Nintendo video is different from the person who edited in the clips, hence the disconnect between the two
Honestly, it isn't that surprising that Nintendo forgot about the AUNZ match. We're often forgotten about by them. But their qualifying match was sick. Give it a watch when if can. Go Greasy Goblins!
Melon and Norishio didn't sit out their qualifiers. Phantom Thief is a turf super team and since the japanese world qualifier was Koshien (turf only tourney) they managed to win. Curious how they'll do in all modes against Kaizer or Jackpot but the west can honestly win this :)
I knew Norishio competed but I didn't know Melon played. Was definitely impressed with Phantom Thief's weapon comps. Ranked modes will be interesting to see for sure
They already did like multiple times? Also the weapon is just not good anyways, the kit has zero syngery, and basically only worked because it had a bunch of meta components slapped together, and now that those meta components arent as meta it just fell off as easily as it rose up.
It'll be really funny seeing the wake up call for Nintendo 😂 Hopefully this will get them to nerf pencil I really do like the attempt at trying to talk about the teams though, it's cute :)
i hope .q will use charger, now i know it s not the most efficient/competitive option but watching a player running "the worst class" in tournaments is INSANE
It's definitely not the worst class right now. Pencil is the best weapon in the game and plenty of pencil players will flex to e-liter on a map/mode basis
How many patches ago was the last time you played? Lol Cooler is OP for aggro teams now, thus Pencil If anything, I rarely see brellas, casually and competitively. The Korean tent (and dapple) players will be of my interest to watch.
Chargers are literally the single strongest main in the game esp this one specifically with all the hallways, wdym by "the worst class" beyond "everyone hates playing against it"???
A bit late, but the Australian qualifier is actually reuploaded on the Australian nintendo channel, but unlisted. You can still find it linked in the japanese world championship website somewhere
You put too much faith in Nintendo in actually caring about actual top level competitive play. This company doesn't care about you or anyone else in this community
Can I just say? Im now seeing the japanese version of the team introduction video for the first time, in the Worlds vod, and even tho its not even the Eng version, even tho we typically assume anything Japan does for Splatoon will be better than the American version, just one comment of jackpots gameplay in, and i’m like “Please. Just STOP talking. 😩”
they did compete, they got knocked out during early stages of Koshien (the JP tourney that decided the JP representative at worlds). doesn't look like Gem knew who participated in those.
You're right he should've used his ability to see the future and then waited, I expect only the highest quality paranormal abilities from Squid School.
also i sent him the voiceover on wednesday and he took 2 days to finish it. if he had waited for the official NA version to come out, which he didn’t even know would come, he wouldn’t have been able to finish the video before the world championships started.
My dreams are getting really weird. One night I was in FNAF security breach. The next night I dreamed of bugs that grew even bigger and burrowed underground. What does this mean?
