This story mode feels so beautifully designed so that you can play it how you want. Want to play fast? It's fairly easy to skip de-fuzzing and speed to bosses. Want an easy time? You can reply old easy levels to get more eggs to progress. It's open-ended enough for you to determine your own speed and difficulty level, and I love that. It's like they said "How do we get everyone to enjoy the same story mode without making them select a difficulty level explicitly?"

I'm so glad you're making a video on the story mode that's a very nice way to diversify your content ! Also I love your opinion on stuff

When I fought the 4th boss I literally was freaking out cos it LITERALLY is SUNSHINE! I was all giddy and such just like you, it was an amazing throwback that had me grinning the whole battle! Absolutely the best reference to Sunshine they coulda done.

I feel like not giving you Inkjet in the Big Man fight was a missed opportunity to not make the reference even more perfect, but it's already so good!!! I started watching but paused before his fight because I hadn't done it yet and just came back to watch the rest after beating story mode myself, it's super fun to see your reaction to everything.

when i saw the story mode title card in alterna for the first time, that made me think "wow, i'm really playing splatoon 3 right now huh?" story mode was a hell of a journey this time around, i loved it sm

The fact that everyone I've watched has walked into the fuzzy ooze in the beginning makes me feel better about doing it myself when I played Story Mode! I love how they baited us with the first five levels, then completely changed tone with Alterna.

“Feels like a fake out” Couldn’t have been any more right

I love how EVERYONE has had the exact same reaction to Big Man and that reaction is just joy and nostalgia for Sunshine.

The Splatoon 3 story mode is great! Also, when I first saw the Big Man fight and what it was gonna entail, I paused my game and spent a bit laughing at the reference. Big Man was probably my fav of the Deep Cut fights. I am curious if you did all of the kettles or not... Either way, I'll be looking forward to your reaction to the end of the story and what comes after.

I've been watching the VODs for this playthrough and enjoying them! I'm so glad you really love the hero mode too! Hoping you get to the secret when you do every level!

I'm really glad they went more the route of the Octo Expansion as far as design, but I didn't feel like there was as much challenge available as OE had. That's probably getting saved for that promised DLC, but it was disappointing to only have that one secret level as a real challenge.

The base story mode was AMAZING! I’m so excited to see what the DLC will look like!

I've always loved games where you're traveling with a companion, so I got extremely attached to Little Buddy. I couldn't have asked for a better ending for the game with that in mind.

I was just watching your singleplayer vods im glad you had fun :DD

i love the way you come at this story mode, awesome combination of 'yeah i'm in this to enjoy it' as well as insights as someone with lots of multiplayer experience sometimes it can feel like casual and competitive can be two parties at odds with each other... maybe it's in part because it's Splatoon which is just built different, but people like you and your community (some great chat moments there) remind me we're all trying to have fun, i guess also Shiver would totally step on you regardless of whether you want her to or not, just saying

I love the feeling of hearing a grown man act like a toddler at the Christmas tree

Another thing that adds to the big man fight is that he has a M on his headband thing

I know that Big Man’s fight is, like, the best part about the story mode, but what I am never going to understand is how in the world would this fight ever be anything but EASY. Maybe it was just me trying to get all the upgrades i could before moving islands so I could see a reticle on Big Man and, after he divided, the red one was on the main body. Not even two minutes long

It's interesting because I thought the m shape on his head was just some symbol, but it might also be a reference to Mario given the boss battle.

Cuttlefish: "The octarians are coming!" Your character: ●__●

Prochara going crazy over the sunshine reference is so heartwarming.

Hey ProChara, I just thought about the fact that since ballpoint splatling can be a flank / long range weapon, thanks to its shooting-mode-switch, it could be amazing if one of it had a kit with zipcaster. I don't know if it's really a good thing or not actually 😂. Oh and I think it'd be a cool thing too if exploser had a kit with Crab tank : it's a long range weapon so it can stay back using a crab tank and being quite safe to get some kills maybe easier than with just using the explosher.

I was excited for the story mode vid!

I love how after beating Octavio, as you fall your drip flies off.

I don’t know if Chara noticed, but the manta ray boss from Mario sunshine is called the manta storm, and big man’s title is literally the hype manta storm (18:58). So it is now confirmed that big man’s boss fight is Mario sunshine themed.

Did you know in the battle against Frye she often may say wtf when she goes to a next difficult stage😬

20:17 TORPEDOS VS TORCHILDREN LMFAO

I just realized that Big Man's fight has the Kraken Royale's charge attack kind of. Cool that the story mode makes early use of certain elements later added to multiplayer, like fog for the foggy notion challenge.

Watching through this there's so much more to the bosses than what I experienced because I just went straight in and shot them Never saw that shark laser or any of big man's attacks besides the splat bombs

Def wanna see the ending and secret level reaction those were so good

The zipcaster levels were so fun. For a couple of minutes you get to become spiderman

Honestly the story mode was a blast and even though I spent about an hour continuously losing the Big Man and having to fully upgrade my hero shot I loved this story mode so much, and this is coming from someone who tried completing s2's story mode with only the dualies (I failed by being a wuss) and I've speedran a few levels. but I'm never completing the secret kettle it's too much if a nightmare
