handy hint! if you've activated crab and you're definitely going to die (e.g. to booyah or tri strike), just stay unrolled and die without your crab breaking if your crab doesn't break before you die, your special gauge doesn't reset and you keep a good chunk of your gauge

I've said many times on stream and I'll say it again here. Do not take anything that happens in the first six--maybe twelve--months of Splatoon 3 seriously. Tournaments at this point are for a bit of fun and adrenaline only; competitive viability is not a priority.

I'm guessing what they mean by the inkstorm change is that you heal as though you're swimming, even when you're standing. so swimming hp recovery should be unchanged, but if you're fighting you'll go back to full hp really fast. which is the kind of bold change we need more of.

to dramatically oversimplify without also insulting the players in question, teams encounter friction when it becomes clear that they don't all share the same outlook on the game. in luti you spend a week preparing for a match; losing shines a light on these differences.
