Now I’d appreciate if they did that in mid since it can drag in and occupy the enemy team but what’s that gonna do in base? We’re down a player and if any of our teammates join him, we’ll lose!

i'm a mix of the salmon run and the person who can't commit. Despite having 860 hours in the game, i still am 200k freshness points away from getting my first 5 star weapon, but i'm happy that way

I'm actually a mix of pretty much every type you mentioned. I'm super competive and worked my way up to S+10, and stick to my main. I dress for fashion, but I also put the correct gear on my clothes. I get tilted every so often, but I definitely acknowledge skillful players that outplay me. I've got a cool splashtag, and love eggstrawork (especially when I get to choose my main)... But after all that, I sometimes spend a few hours in turf war for lighthearted target practice. Then again, now that I think about it more, I fit into your "Too Committed" type and I'm proud of it.

I'm definitely a casual. As you were describing it especially the part about outfits based on appearance though I have taken that a step above and made a bunch of characters with different appearances both in terms of outfits and customisation.

I’m casual
Im a mix of a Try-Hard and Non-committal. I love the variety of weapons and I always end up playing like 10 Weapons at once. Though i still have a main and usually the one weapon i always fall back on, The Tri-Stringer.
You forgot the 10th type, the Artist, who usually sticks to an identifiable name and outfit and who can often be found hanging around the square with some new Splatverse post. I'd personally fall into the casual, focusing on style over optimized gear, and while I'll dip into ranked and Salmon Run I'm not nearly dedicated enough to be more than mid-rank.
i'm absolutely a "too committed" player, but only for the dualie class. i've five-stared light tetras and ndapples + four starred squelchers and splat dualies, and honestly, i couldn't be happier with it! the dualies are such a fun and versatile class that always keeps me engaged. great video, and fantastic dualie squelcher gameplay- i'm so impressed !! liked and subscribed :D
I’m a mix between a casual player and a competitive player. I play Splatoon 3 for fun but also mostly play anarchy battles to climb in rankings. So I like to call myself a competitive-casual player.
New Players having the “protecc” status is like people in Sky: CotL loving Moths (Moths is fandom term of New Player) I went from New Player to Casual to Tryhard (but backing out if I got a migraine which lasts like two days), then I went to Salmon Runner most of the time. Currently wanting to help new players by sticking to Go-Getter since I found little fun struggling in keeping EVP all the time. I don’t personally understand being too committed to one weapon because I am polyamorous with my weapons in comparisons 😂
I’m probably a mix of casual & can’t commit with the smallest ounce of pro tendencies. I’m not interested in sticking exclusively to the meta weapons or going to tournaments or picking based on gear abilities alone, but I do keep track of the competitive scene, try and work to make my good-looking outfit have good enough abilities, and will avoid playing any strictly low tier weapons such as the Undercover or the Clash. I tend to rotate between 2-4 weapons (Ballpoint, Octobrush, and sometimes Big Swig and Slosher Deco), but can’t decide on a definite main, and while I try to make my Splashtag look good (name of Alchemist and title of Yesterday’s Youth as a reference to “The Kids from Yesterday” by MCR), I also filled my locker with a ton of Autobombs because it’s funny. Ultimately, while I am competitive and try to win, I also try to accept that it’s just a game and having fun should always be the #1 priority.
And how can we not forget about spawn campers who will literally position themselves & wait until the player has landed and will immediately take them down with a roller or with a charger.
You forgot me. The ultimate casual player that get 27 kills per games whitout tryharding, can never choose what to pick, know all the lore of splatoon, played for all the 3 splatoon games, 100% every story mode, play 90% of the time whit his friends, spend half of his life to get the most beautiful gear whit good abilities, hates salmon run and finally play 90% of the time in turf war.
I’m pretty much the salmon runner but I’m also extremely uncommitted and intimidated by regular battles and anarchy battles…
I’m the try harder and the causal, I’m just bad at the game lol
I'm a salmon runner for sure (both gold badges for the events). I'm also a hardcore splat dualie user

Casual and story player. Haven’t 100% story but I played all the kettles and had a fun time with the credits. I’m not the best at splatoon but I still have fun and enjoy splatfests a ton.
The saddest part is when you fit in neither of these types of player categories 💀
I'm 100% the too committed one. I WILL marry the Hydra Splatling and my wedding outfit WILL be my usual Takoroka Mesh + Manatee Swag Sweat + Punk Whites.

It's so fun to change titles! I used "Wahoo-World Shield" for the first Big Run which took place in that map. Also "Inkopolis Square's Blade of grass" (DLC when???) But my favorite title combo is "Lost-and-Found Lead" which is the title that I use when I play Anarchy (pretty fitting for what Anarchy is, methinks!)
In turf war, i'm an inkvader, i go to the enemy base splat other players just for my own pleasure... And sometimes is for strategy. I stick on mains abillities like ninja squid and the one that mask the super jump point when being far ( i don't know the name of it in english, i usually speak french. 😅 ) because i like being discreet in that game and my strategies depends of it. I also stick with dualies but i use one particuliar on tower control and another main for everything else.
I'm definitely intimidated by anarchy... Good to know someone will protect me in the next splatfest!
She just described my sweaty salmon run existence... my god, extremely accurate... Nice fun vid btw! :)
"If they could marry their weapon they would" Heavy splatling my beloved-
Too committed to blobber, but those salmon ain't gonna run themselves.
I like to think myself as the Casual player, because I always love having on different kinds of clothes and outfits to try and match with what I’m wearing or come up with something interesting and unique.
I’m definitely the player who can’t commit. I say I main nautilus (which is my most played weapon) but it’s only 4 stars. Also the thing about having a bunch of holographic stickers on the locker is 100% true 😂
I for the most part fit into casual, I've been playing ever since November 2015 when I bought a WiiU on Black Friday that had Splatoon included with it but I'm in it for the fun. I regularly go back to the first game, especially now that it's back, yay! Mostly because I prefer those maps & it's easier to just have a good time in that game. Sorta also fit a little bit into can't commit. The N-Zap 89 was my main in the first, still is the fallback weapon I use because I know it, it's comfortable, & I easily just fall into line while playing it but I ended up LOVING seekers, they're my favorite sub weapon so I ended up playing the Carbon Roller Deco a lot in the first game but also Tri Slosher Nouveau so I ended up being a little varied like I can easily pick up a Carbon Roller or Tri Slosher & know how to handle the weapon at least, I played regular Carbon Roller sometimes in S1 so I can play the Deco somewhat alright in 3, I just am bad with the Trizooka. I have always been open to trying different weapons & yeah, I change up my inkling/octoling up all the time.

I loved playing the og splatoon when it first came out because there was mainly turf war, no salmon runs meaning that everybody who played that game, has at least played turf war once. I absolutely think that splatoon was one of the most best games on Wii U but that’s just me

Luckily Last Ditch Effort and Swim Speed Up are useful with almost every weapon! I use them in my hat and shoes (keep utility subs like quick super jump and ink resistance up in the sub slots) so I really usually change the shirt! So I guess I'm committed to a set but I have room for flexibility in there.
casual and salmon runner!!! i used to be such a tryhard in splatoon 2 but idk i feel like i’m so bad at splat 3 👀 just hit level 30 the other day and i’ve had the game since launch
I felt so attacked when u described a person that couldn't commit cuz i related to every point🤣 i love this video cuz ur so right abt every player
I'm totally the indecisive one I cannot for the life of me decide what gear, gear abilities, locker, splashtag, or weapon I want to main. I've probably spent more time tinkering with my locker or contemplating what gear I want with which abilities than actually playing the game.
I'm def the casual and non committed type. I have like 7 Weapons at 4 stars, yet I love playing every weapon, especially during the first month of a new season.
In Splatoon two, I only played a roller then and Splatoon three I only played roller until Kraken roller became a not so good weapon anymore so now I’m drifting into trying out more weapons and stuff. I mainly use a very basic shooter weapon that has a shockwave special
I'm the one who mains Big Swing Express and Flingza Rollers trying to spam the ultimate more than anything.
im allergic to commitment. there are so many weapons that i play, my sendou build tab is becoming an issue
I’m storymoder and salmonrunner😭😭😭
I think the best splash tag I’ve seen is “funny cat ⬇️” with the arrow pointing at a judd badge
I'm a mix between The Player Who's Too Committed and The Player Who Can't Commit. I know that sounds so weird, but it's true! 🤣I stick to being my avatar the whole time, same hair, same everything; the only difference is that I can never fully commit to a weapon because I'm an all-rounder. I have like, 5 favorite weapons to use, but I swap between them all AND also use some that aren't from the 5 mains if I think it suits the mode well enough. I do however have some outfits that I'll use over and over because the abilities are filled up and effective (like the Pro Player, and the outfits look so strange at times;) but I never fully commit to an outfit because I am ability chunk HUNGRY. I keep trying to earn some new abilities whenever I get some more food tickets... So I take gear with non-full abilities and start unlocking!
You just got a new sub. You are awesome and I can’t wait to see what more you have planned for the future

“Casual i am… nuts I am not” -Yoda- 2024
You forget the painting only when they focus on painting instead of kills
For me I just love ranked just ranked and get upset when my teammates forget about the objective.
I am a: - Casual player: I do love Splatfest and Turf War. Still a bit cautious of Anarchy battles, they are a bit intimidating. As for weapons, I did stick to one recommended weapon for a long, long time before I had the courage to try something else. I also freaking love customizing things, especially my character and locker. But I have worn some ugly clothes just to fill up the slots and scrap them for abilities for a while (I don’t do that anymore, it’s too tedious to do) - Story Mode player: I completed all of Alterna and have 13 Splatoon Amiibos so far. And that’s about it for this one. - Salmon Runner: I LOVE Salmon Run! I use the badges to tell others which three enemies I’m good at taking out on my own. I think I’m at level 45 now, I don’t think Turf War makes you level up that quickly either from the looks of it. I always play Big Run until my fingers feel like they are falling off, but I don’t keep track of random and gold rotations, I’ll definitely play them though if I happen to catch them. I don’t think I’ve played Eggstra Work yet, the first one was impossible to join and the one after that I think I wasn’t able to play or just forgot about it. - Player who can’t commit: I have several main weapons now after I started trying out new ones. I’m currently leveling up all my favorites to 4 stars so I can easily find them in my weapon list. The front of my locker is all holo (and some placeholder non-holo) weapon stickers. I got 5 outfits saved to Amiibo/Freshest Fits, 1 for each of 5 favorite weapons that matches the color and/or vibe of that weapon, while trying not to repeat gear for every outfit to make them unique to that weapon. I don’t change my splashtag that often, but when I do it’s because I just unlocked a cooler title, banner or badge, or it’s Splatfest time. I do spend a lot of time perfecting my look in the character creation screen, especially during Splatfests, where I match the eye color as closely to my team’s color as possible. Or I pick a team’s color I was torn between and didn’t end up picking. Like for example I picked team Vanilla, but chose a pink eye color to show I also appreciated/liked Strawberry. Edit 1: Grammar and spacing out paragraphs on phone is hard. Edit 2: I can provide some examples in the comments under this post if someone is curious about what my in game clothes and weapon combos look like.
I am the Too Committed Squiffer player and not ashamed of it! I never get bored as the Squiffer requires you to adapt all the time.
I'm literally a mix of every one of these (exept noob) One day I'll feel like a salmon runner Another day I might feel like a casual Some other time I'm a committed player
i have graduated from being try hard and getting frustrated with myself for not being better and now i’m a proud casual 👍
For me, I’m 100% a casual player: maybe I have a bit of Salmon Runner in me but even then I’m casual in that- I just like vibin’ Also I do care about fashion and what abilities are tied to them, not that that matters lol
I know of another type that falls between casual and tryhard/pro I call it "challenger"; wants to be the best version they can of how they naturally play. Someone who wants to be good at the game but isn't going to sacrifice fun for it.
Yup, I'm a casual... well, a cross between a casual and Salmon Runner.
uhh.. what the heck even am I…? mix of pro and try-hard, expect i don’t blame teammates (often) I’m in the middle of committed spectrum.. and I don’t know what else anymore..
I am definitely a mix of a casual player and someone who committed too much. Don't care about meta, don't care about rank, got one amazing set of clothes and stuck with it, play only Flingza roller and absolutely refuse to go other way around because this is a playstyle that I enjoy and having fun with. AND ALSO I HAVE COOL LOCKER WITH A BUNCH OF STICKERS ON IT-
4:19 this called me out HARD
I see, so I’m a casual story mode player who can’t commit, fun!
I guess I fall into the "too committed" category mostly, ha ha.
I for sure fit the last 2. I only play brush or occasionally Luna blaster I can pop off or throw hard.
At 2:23, haha let's go! Something silimar that my physics teacher say in high school.😂
Normal people: "How do you not get bored of exclusively using a single weapon?" Me (probably autistic): "Because this is the one I'm skilled with... if I switch off it, I underperform. And doing well at the video game is kinda where my fun comes from."

In retrospect... what I just said was pretty much just a rephrasing of the arguments made in the video.
I didn’t even know splash-o-matic was meta until recently, it was my main in splatoon 2 and for some of splatoon 3 😭
Somehow you got me spot on with “???” Lmao
dunno what the mix of the Tryhard and the Casual Players would be called if they were fused together but I think that's me
casual and too committed. once i find a weapon im comfortable with i never let it go
I think im too commited to snipers.... 5 star e liter 4k scope,4 star normal e liter, 4 star splatterscope
I’m a mix of salmon runner,the unknown one,and casual but!it’s not about how cool my outfit looks it’s about gear and style
I'm honestly the casual and the random, except I do have stickers and just a usual username. Tbh, squid parties can be fun in Turf, and I'm a Turf person, so it's all just fun
I'm definitely a casual player. I love lookin' fresh, feelin' fresh and havin' fun. Though I do have a comfort weapon but then again don't we all?
I'm between casual and committed. I love chargers and making my character and locker look fun. Squid parties are awesome too.
i cannot stick to a single weapon because i get bored of it and i swap inklings all the time lol you got me XD
the one whos not committed the front of my locker is full of the holographic stickers and i never know what weapon to use when playing
I’m the one who gets weekly obsessions with a weapon and then after that week I do terrible and do great with a new random weapon
“The player who can’t commit “ it’s me lol
i think im a mix of the casual, salmon run and the ???, but mostly the ??? for sure
I'm the salmon runner. I have both top 5% badges and 999 EVP on every stage. My locker is also exclusively salmon run themed and I have trophies from every Big Run so far
I'm definitely the too commited player. I simply cannot abandon the carbon roller. 😤
This is SO true, I’m probably the too committed one 🤣
The player who cant commit is literally me 💀
I feel so incredibly called out... having a weapon crisis since splat 1
Lol, I'm the player who can't commit for sure since I change weapons and gears based on mood. However, I'm a bit of tryhard as well, though I'm able to recognize when I tilt and stop playing immediately when I do.
I fall between "casual" and "pro/competitive" like I mostly play Open/Series for fun. but I do care to a great extent about playing good with my main and my gear is optimized
Didn’t know you could edit your style like that 💀
I have over a thousand hours in Splat3, and the vast majority of those hours have been with the Splatana Wiper and I even have the golden badge, yet I'm still dog doodoo at the game...
i’m definitely the one who’s too committed. i get teased a lot for my loyalty to tri-stringer in my friend group 😆

Uncommitted Salmon Runner for me Idk I just can't find a weapon for me. I mained sorrela brella and wasabi in Splatoon 2 and 1 respectively and the weapons that replace them in this game just aren't good, so I've been going through a bit of a Splatoon identity crisis weapon wise. If you have any ideas for me just from the weapons I played in the last two games please tell me what I could play now. I would really love the help!

Options I recommend: -Tentatek Splattershot has basically the Wasabi kit but with Triple Inkstrike instead of Inkstrike. -N-ZAP ‘89 has Autobomb like the Sorella and has Super Chump as a semi-replacement for Bomb Rush. -Tenta Sorella Brella doesn’t have a sub or special similar to your weapons, but it’s a really synergistic kit for the weapon and is currently the best Brella in the game. -Splatana Wiper also doesn’t share a kit with your weapons, but it’s one of the better frontline weapons currently and is just fun to play (Torpedo is a good substitute for Autobomb due to sharing a focus on location seeking and distracting the target) If any of these sound appealing, then give them a try! They’ll likely feel slightly off for the first couple matches, but once you get into a flow with it, they could turn out to be a new main. (And if I may, I personally recommend the Slosher Deco, not because it’s super similar to these weapons but just because it’s one of the most fun weapons to master in my opinion)
Mix of a few here Casual to Tryhard (seriously I tilt way too easily, it's a problem) Storymode (What made me realize I might prefer single player games a little more at this point in my life) Salmon Run (The one mode I don't feel awful losing) No Commitment (Love my Splatlings, but variety is the spice of life)
The player who can’t commit fits me way too well 😅
I'm a casual and an overcommitter. I haven't quite found a look I like yet but I have a pair of goggles I never take off and can only play with one weapon. I am not incredible but not awful either, but I care just enough about meta to consider thst when constructing an outfit, and just enough about fashion to consider that too. I do not care about ranked, don't even look at it, I'm just trying to have fun.
I’m a mix of a little bit of casual, mostly a tryhard, I’d like to say I’m a pro cause I try to learn about this game a lot and I can play decent sometimes but the times I get mad and my stats don’t match up 😂
Why everything is so on point, i feel seen on salmon runner 😅 and my salmon badge’s 😂😂
I'm the kind of player to disguise myself as a new player (ie wearing the starting gear and changing my splash tag)
I’m a mix of casual and story mode player but go part try hard during splatfests
Ive had splatoon for a week with my switch lite (also for a week), and the first one described me in the beginning lol
I consider myself a not committed player. I have over 1500 hours, so I just consider myself a jack of all trades. I also have five stars on undercover, and that was the worst 30 hours of my life
Out of all of the players you said im probably closest to the over committed, i have two weapons i play, and i rarely change my gear or my splashtag
OMG my type is a crossover between the casual and the try hard 😂😅
you forgot about the players with the mcdonalds wifi
Im a mix of a casual and too committed/ tryhard player ( The Old timer player, if you will,) Recently ive come out of X and im slowly getting worse due to life being more demanding and having less time to play splatoon then i used to Im going to B+ and im branching out to all the weapons class and I like where im going and hopefully i can get back good into X with 2400 one day
