The lesser salmonids *are* much slower. For some reason nintendo removed the feature where lesser salmonids would move slowly through your ink. Now they just travel full speed all the time. I don't necessarily like that change because now the lessers feel like way more of a threat than they reasonably need to be

@@green_the_ninja I agree. I think they should keep the knock back but reduce their movement speed. it would help keep eggVP from getting unbearably crowded all the time
Honestly, what I miss most about Splatoon 2 is the music. I’m not saying that 3’s music is bad (far from it), but 2 just had so many good tracks. I hope we eventually get the option to have past music play during battles in 3.
some of the music still plays in the lobby... when i heard broken coral my heart leaped. but i agree, i really liked the jazzy and rock style music, it was versatile and really fitting for the chaos
I play salmon run a lot and the lessers getting buffed was a HUGE change. When 3 first launched I got killed by them all the time cause I was so used to jumping in a crowd of salmons and surviving. Still kinda miss doing that 😭😭😭
Regarding the lighting changes from S2 to S3, the 3rd game has much better pre baked global illumination and light bounce. The lighting is more natural and less harsh than S1 and S2
I'd say that S3 has the most eye-appealing and accessible color pallet but S2 prolly has the more realistic lighting. I personally prefer the former. I think clarity is more important in multiplayer games while with singleplayer it's better to go with the Splatoon 2-esque lighting.
@@cousinparty7266 S3 has the more realistic lighting. The lighting in S2 is quite basic and very reliant on bloom for adding that pop to the lighting, similar to old PS3/360 games. S3 has much more realistic and natural pre baked lighting.
The thing I miss about Splatoon2 right now is just the maps. None of the maps in Splatoon3 really wow me a whole lot. The few times I have gone back to Splatoon2 briefly for fun with friends I’m always like oh wow there is so many weapon variations I can’t wait for Splatoon3 to get more
That’s me but with the music as well. 3 had the same amount of music at 2’s launch but 2 had such a better diversity of music while 3 has just, rock. That’s it. It hurts more because you can HEAR the PREVIOUS music in the lobby but no sorry can’t listen to it during battle sorry / : it’s frustrating and just sad
@@WahooYahoo I honestly tend to tune out the background music of splatoon while playing so I don't notice it a whole lot. I do think the rock music lean is very fitting to the overall theme of splatoon3 though with sea me now by front roe being one of my favorites. Would be cool if they let us make battle playlists in the future I think it would be a good opportunity to add a lot of those older songs as a option to give more diversity
@@WahooYahoo I’m not trying to argue your opinion but Splatoon 2 Started with 5 tracks from one band while Splatoon 3 started with 9 tracks from 3 bands. Also those 5 tracks weren’t that diverse either tbh.
@@WahooYahoo Variety doesn't mean that is good. I fucking hate bottom feeders and ink theory, but Splatoon 3 also has it's bad groups, like everything of damp socks.
This past week I’ve been playing 2 and 3 pretty evenly and man do I miss the bigger and better maps, the weapons, the cool salmon run maps like Ruins of Ark Polaris. Sure the core gameplay of 3 is better, but 2 has more content right now. And I’m pleasantly surprised that most of the time, the battle begins quicker than it does in 3.
I mean of course 2 has more maps and weapons, 3 is still in its infancy lmao. All I hope is we get some new banging ass music, love the existing tracks in 3 and can't wait to see more.
Yeah that’s how I feel right now. Yeah 3 is definitely the better game but 2 had so much more. More music diversity, more clothing options, and more new (at the time) maps. It sucks to have to see 2 have so much stuff but 3 is the definitive version but with much less stuff
"You know after this, the devs are gonna bring this into splatoon 3" Damnit Chara you know Nintendo hates you so if you don't want something to happen keep your mouth shut
It's so weird going back to splatoon 2 and not having the Squid Roll, it feels like an essential part of the game now and I can't imagine playing without it hhh
Splat 2 feels alot like Smash 4, while active the game felt refreshing but got somewhat annoying as the meta evolved, but it wasn't till the sequel that people truly realized all the issues with it, making it extremely hard to go back to unless you liked a very particular playstyle.
6:08 I have been SO HAPPY at this! How much the art has developed in 3 has been amazing, and it also lets us see the icons so much better. Still sucks that in the equip menu you still see 3D icon.
I tried splatoon 2 after playing 3 as my first ranked game and honestly even though the new lighting system looks way better the old one made it way easier to see where people were
@@Zetagipp I think it has something to do with how splatoon 3 introduces so much new core stuff that going back to splatoon 2 just feels kind of odd in comparison unless you're playing for stuff like the bigger stages or specials that haven't made it into 3 yet
A little saddening seeing one of my favorite weapons classes (the Jet Squelchers) become the most hated weapon in all of Splatoon history due to some very broken specials and pro players figuring out that the most optimal way of playing the weapon is not actually playing the game. I sometimes wish the custom jet would get burst bombs again, but I doubt that will ever happen again due to how hated the weapon is now thanks to missiles and sting ray. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I played Splatoon 2 last Sunday, and... I genuinely miss it.. Moray, Piranha Pit.. And it's just so damn comfy... The ONLY problem is that I'm used to Octo-rolling.. But yeah I miss Splatoon 2.. It just felt... Right, playing it again...
@@osterhai Tenta Missiles in 2 weren't as bad as in 3. The easiest weapon to use for that was the Neo-Sploosh, but most of the folks I played against never used it. (Seriously, I only got a handful, myself included)
It was awesome you played Splatoon 2. I miss 2 once in awhile. Ill go back to it every now and then. I miss the music, maps, and the sparkly ink for story mode. Some of the specials I miss as well.
I miss the sparkly ink as well. I miss having that type of ink for splatfests! I love the neon colours for splatfests in 3 but it kinda lacks the charm 2 had 🤣
Splatoon 2 is just wow Like how did they leave so many broken specials in one game we got Armour, Booyah bomb , missiles and sting ray still busted and the latter 2 of those specials on jet which is a special spam weapon
Splatoon 2 had so much special spamming compared to Splatoon 3, and what didn't help is that like half of them are absolutely busted. It looks fun as hell on the casual level/solo queue, but I can see why the Meta for this game was such a nightmare.
Glad ZUN decided to go 3D for the new Touhou game! I just wonder where the whole paint theme came from. Oh well, glad it's still the same bullet hell we all know and love.
Honestly I never got too much into Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3 on the other hand, it feels better balanced and the controls feel more responsive, I’ve never been more invested into this franchise and I even have fun in X-Battles!
Agreed. While the controls and input delay aren't quite as good as 1, it was a massive step up from 2 to 3 on the software side. It's obvious they put in some work despite the Switch's hardware limitations worse/cheaper and less hardware sensors for motion than the Wii U gamepad.
ProChara: Well, Splatoon 2, I made it, despite your broken specials and weapons. Splatoon 2: Ah, ProChara, welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable battle.
I just went back and it's really interesting. I was a casual in 2 and a soon to be competitive player in 3. It feels like I'm smurfing without actually smurfing 😂😂😂
Only thing I really miss is ballpoint nuvo. Really hope when it returns in splat3 it still has the beacons, but I wouldnt mind the ink storm being chanced to bubbler or tacticooler. But id still be fine if it was still ink storm.
Ha! I picked up Splatoon 2 for the holidays/birthday. Purely for the Octo Expansion. Kinda hard to even think of trying to level up and grind when Splatoon 3 is right there.
I've heard so many people complaining that Splatoon 3 is just a glorified DLC, so it's very interesting to see what going back to Splatoon 2 actually looks like. I do miss Color Pulse, though. Anarchy Rainbow is great, but Color Pulse will always be my favourite. Fingers crossed the Splatoon 2 hub will be a future DLC just like Inkopolis.
"salmon run is so easy!" That's what all the pros say. Imagine how us lessers feel when our teammates in Professional ranking have no idea what they're doing. Some of us only have Splat 2, like me lol. I always stayed away from ranked because it's too difficult, so I can only imagine what it's like in 3.
Honestly, I feel like I prefer 2 over 3 in some ways. Mainly the ink effects (blasters in 3 don’t have that firework like effect except clash) and the way every thing felt so vibrant. 3 feels a bit like 1 in a way where the ink feels a bit dull. It could just be bias for 2 as it was my most played splatoon game but I really miss the vibe from it, it felt so lively.
@@BreakGlassForMemes Ink fluidity imo is better in 3 but in terms of color and effects I think 2 takes it. It looks like it’s glowing because of the particles it outputs, similar to roller. That’s what I like, how nice the effects were and how vibrant it was.
You are correct, the ink is worst in Splatoon 3 when compared to Splatoon 2. The blasters are way better in Splatoon 2 and ink shooting is better with most weapons.
I never understood people being upset about not being able to skip the news when it only lasts for like 30 seconds if you are spamming the a button and also it only plays whenever you first start the game so you will never need to see it more than once per play session.
As someone who clowned on Jr. in Splatoon 1 and 2 for simply being a weapon, to someone who somehow turned into a Jr. main in 3, I took that big ink tank for granted.
Part of me has been wondering if I'd have an easier time ranking up in Splat 2 now that everyone has moved over to Splat 3 but honestly I don't know if I could back to 2 with all the improvements 3 has. XD
I owned Splatoon two for a long time and could never get into it until I started playing three and then I went back and played all of two and the DLC before completing the story and three. I do still play to quite a lot whenever a new Salmon run rotation is up and also because I would like to level up and start getting sea snails which are now locked to level 30+ I believe
5:05 The difference between Splatoon 2's (MPU-boosted) Kensa Pro and Splatoon 3's (non-boosted) Forge Pro is clearer than night and day If I was able to take one weapon wholesale to Splatoon 3, it would be the Kensa Pro (even without the MPU). The current Forge just doesn't hit the same, it needs a splat bomb rather than suction bomb
Splatoon 2 walked so 3 could run. Always respect the ancestor of Splatoon on Switch, even if it's completely washed out in this day and age. ...Except Tentas and Ray. Don't respect those stupid, broken af specials 😒
OH MY GOSH, I completely forgot Bomb Launcher/Bomb Rush was ever a thing, yet at the same time never noticed it's not in Splatoon 3! Actually mind-blown lol.
I miss the maps a lot. They were so different from one another and had a lot of personality. Same with splatoon one. The maps were easy to tell apart from a single picture. Splatoon 3? Not so much. They’re all the same in terms of height, general size, etc. I don’t miss moray towers. But i miss the idea of it. A map thats significantly taller than the rest with lots of levels and routes to take. Since they made flounder heights shorter, i doubt they’ll ever try and make a map like that again. Or the reef with it’s two over lapping levels? Eeltail alley tries to mimic it, but fails miserably. Secondly, the maps in splatoon, at least the more city themed ones, do wonderfully when it comes to feeling like real environments. But splatoon 3? They just kind of feel like random areas. How are we supposed to know scorched gorge is a national park? In splatoon 2, i always knew i was in the city and i liked it! I miss the maps
I really hope every weapon gets 3 kits in Splatoon 3. The game already loves the number 3 but it would also be really nice considering how many weapons exist thay just don't get a kit that suits it in the slightest
splatoon 2 was so good, I forgot how good it was to not have an error every single time I tried entering a match, or squids flying, or passing through walls, or super buffed lesser salmonids, or super bad maps, or a extremely bad matchmaking, or not working weapons like brellas, or nerfed squidbagging, or extreme lag, or nerfed already not so good specials like the ultra stamp, or weird torpedo hitboxes, or bomb spam. Of course, I'm not saying it was perfect but 😭
@@JN-bk3wu Anyone in these comments praising the S2 stages is either delusional or wasn't that good at Splatoon at the time. The S2 stages (that weren't ported over from S1) were mostly *trash* with the exception of The Reef, and most of the S1 ported stages had the same issues that the S3 stages have. S3 has some bad stages, but it has some decent stages as well, and also Hagglefish. Not a lot of *ideal* stages, but then again there weren't a lot in the first few months of S2 either, let alone its entire life cycle.
@@JN-bk3wu well, i played sp2 for 3 years and i never argued about it. Bomb spam ? Not so common. Bad matchmaking ? Yeah, ok, but not so bad as 3's, where i have a entire team composed of short ranged weapons when the other has only long-ranged weapons. Missiles, sting ray and ink armor were terrible i agree but hey, couldn't they just add or delete all those things in Splatoon 2 ?? The point is, i think Splatoon 2 was solid, and that made me comfortable playing it, because i also could have all those things without having to pay another extra money. Maps could be replaced and new ones could be added, matchmaking could be fixed, bombs could be nerfed, missiles, sting ray and ink armor could be too. It's just my opinion.
What do you miss most from Splatoon 2? Personally I forgot just how good Reef was
squidbeatz....

I personally think the ink looks better in three. Take a look at sloshers for example. In 2, the ink looks like its glowing when its in the air.
@@BreakGlassForMemes Ink fluidity imo is better in 3 but in terms of color and effects I think 2 takes it. It looks like it’s glowing because of the particles it outputs, similar to roller. That’s what I like, how nice the effects were and how vibrant it was.
ive always strongly preferred splatoon 1's lighting so thats probably why i love splatoon 3's so much, feels like the best of both worlds
Nahh it's not just you
It really does feel duller, it felt way more vivid in 2
You are correct, the ink is worst in Splatoon 3 when compared to Splatoon 2.
The blasters are way better in Splatoon 2 and ink shooting is better with most weapons.
The game at 6:46 be like: hold my beer how about another two of the bosses you hate
That final overtime was insane 😭
3:07 welp
3:07 you called it
I’m feeling a mix of nostalgia and baffled at the same time
I never understood people being upset about not being able to skip the news when it only lasts for like 30 seconds if you are spamming the a button and also it only plays whenever you first start the game so you will never need to see it more than once per play session.
>no kills
>Over twenty tenta middle specials
Things I miss: the maps and music.
Things I do not miss: *Tenta Missile PTSD*
As someone who clowned on Jr. in Splatoon 1 and 2 for simply being a weapon, to someone who somehow turned into a Jr. main in 3, I took that big ink tank for granted.
What if you…
Wanted to go to heaven…
But God said “5:49”
Bro the amount of skill and outplaying on this video is just marvellous
Such a wonderful game, overflowing with skill expression
?
Ah yes, every single splatoon 2 video being in 28p because of the bit rate
Truly takes me back
The chum, small fry and cohock buffs are real bruh. The bosses aren't hard it's the basic salmonids that get you.
"I can't squid roll goddamnit"
Felt that.
Huh. Splatoon 2’s lighting kinda look better imo
you just notice how fast splatoon 3 is
The only thing I miss is the variety in kits but that's about it when it comes to this game
We’re gonna get a lot of kits soon in S3 since the game just started so don’t worry
@@mallrat.22 If they bring back Tenta Missiles on Jet Squelcher, I'm breaking my Switch.
@@maelstromofchaos2489 I will too
I dont like how splat 2 colors are so BRIGHT
How do we tell them about S3's Ink colors guys?
Part of me has been wondering if I'd have an easier time ranking up in Splat 2 now that everyone has moved over to Splat 3 but honestly I don't know if I could back to 2 with all the improvements 3 has. XD
When the chat is somehow better when you can hear everyone panicking at the end.
Highlight of everyone mash up commentary lol
I owned Splatoon two for a long time and could never get into it until I started playing three and then I went back and played all of two and the DLC before completing the story and three. I do still play to quite a lot whenever a new Salmon run rotation is up and also because I would like to level up and start getting sea snails which are now locked to level 30+ I believe
5:05 The difference between Splatoon 2's (MPU-boosted) Kensa Pro and Splatoon 3's (non-boosted) Forge Pro is clearer than night and day
If I was able to take one weapon wholesale to Splatoon 3, it would be the Kensa Pro (even without the MPU). The current Forge just doesn't hit the same, it needs a splat bomb rather than suction bomb
Splatoon 2 walked so 3 could run. Always respect the ancestor of Splatoon on Switch, even if it's completely washed out in this day and age.
...Except Tentas and Ray. Don't respect those stupid, broken af specials 😒
"hopefully there will be more weapon kits" famous last words
Tower Control on Moray just gave me horrible flashbacks
OH MY GOSH, I completely forgot Bomb Launcher/Bomb Rush was ever a thing, yet at the same time never noticed it's not in Splatoon 3! Actually mind-blown lol.
I love how I don’t use squid rolls much in Salmon Run, yet I forget that I can’t do it in Salmon Run, giving me a split second moment of awkwardness
Ah yes, the good old days of endless overtime, Vjet, and the good ol' -panic button- Splashdown
Oh no, you didn't have to remind me of Jet Squelcher with missiles or Range Blaster being carried by the grim kit
I miss chirpy chips so bad.
Please i need the music.
I’ve been thinking about replaying this recently to finally finish my gearset up
I miss the maps a lot. They were so different from one another and had a lot of personality.
Same with splatoon one. The maps were easy to tell apart from a single picture.
Splatoon 3? Not so much. They’re all the same in terms of height, general size, etc.
I don’t miss moray towers. But i miss the idea of it. A map thats significantly taller than the rest with lots of levels and routes to take.
Since they made flounder heights shorter, i doubt they’ll ever try and make a map like that again.
Or the reef with it’s two over lapping levels? Eeltail alley tries to mimic it, but fails miserably.
Secondly, the maps in splatoon, at least the more city themed ones, do wonderfully when it comes to feeling like real environments.
But splatoon 3? They just kind of feel like random areas.
How are we supposed to know scorched gorge is a national park?
In splatoon 2, i always knew i was in the city and i liked it!
I miss the maps
I really hope every weapon gets 3 kits in Splatoon 3. The game already loves the number 3 but it would also be really nice considering how many weapons exist thay just don't get a kit that suits it in the slightest
The thing I miss when I playing splatoon 2 is going to the living room and playing a bunch of turf wars in the afternoon
splatoon 2 was so good, I forgot how good it was to not have an error every single time I tried entering a match, or squids flying, or passing through walls, or super buffed lesser salmonids, or super bad maps, or a extremely bad matchmaking, or not working weapons like brellas, or nerfed squidbagging, or extreme lag, or nerfed already not so good specials like the ultra stamp, or weird torpedo hitboxes, or bomb spam. Of course, I'm not saying it was perfect but 😭
Not you acting as if Splat 2 didn't have terrible maps, bad matchmaking, bomb spam and even worse things such as missile spam, strigray and ink armor
God 3 is really just another modern Nintendo disaster isn't it
@@JN-bk3wu Anyone in these comments praising the S2 stages is either delusional or wasn't that good at Splatoon at the time. The S2 stages (that weren't ported over from S1) were mostly *trash* with the exception of The Reef, and most of the S1 ported stages had the same issues that the S3 stages have. S3 has some bad stages, but it has some decent stages as well, and also Hagglefish. Not a lot of *ideal* stages, but then again there weren't a lot in the first few months of S2 either, let alone its entire life cycle.
@@JN-bk3wu well, i played sp2 for 3 years and i never argued about it. Bomb spam ? Not so common. Bad matchmaking ? Yeah, ok, but not so bad as 3's, where i have a entire team composed of short ranged weapons when the other has only long-ranged weapons. Missiles, sting ray and ink armor were terrible i agree but hey, couldn't they just add or delete all those things in Splatoon 2 ?? The point is, i think Splatoon 2 was solid, and that made me comfortable playing it, because i also could have all those things without having to pay another extra money. Maps could be replaced and new ones could be added, matchmaking could be fixed, bombs could be nerfed, missiles, sting ray and ink armor could be too. It's just my opinion.
@@dvht1108 your opinion is wrong. 3 is way better than 2.
