I think 52 being referred to as gal more often than 96 gal is because of splatoon 2 In splat1, both gals had only two kits. The vanilla and the deco and back then both were called my their number and their kit. Like deco 52 or vanilla 96 But when splatoon 2 was out, 52 gal got a third kit, which was the kensa 52 gal Like how gem says we usually called the kensa weapons by K weapon. Kensa 52 gal was called K gal (because there wasn't a kensa 96 gal), and I think once that happened, we just started calling all the 52s "gal" while 96 is referred to by the number
I believe Chara said the reason Stamper specifically is the one the be called "Sword" as opposed to Wiper is primarily to minimize confusion between Stamper and Ultra Stamp, which thanks to Splatoon 2 has long been commonly shortened to "Stamp". It obviously being a sword and that word being 1 syllable worked out well.
19:17 immediately adopting Dyno, and everyone else should as well, even if this thing is never used, Dyno is an amazing name. And when we get the Gold kit we can start calling that gDyno, because that Dyno a real G.
12:41 for some history, at least in my experience, back in early Splatoon 1 when callouts were starting out and such, in my experience for roller and krack-on, we called them "Voller" and "Krolller" in my more local community, as they were both run a loooot, and sometimes together. As a side, because the meta was just starting and there were some die hard Aero players who were trying to prove the weapon, my circle eventually just started referring to them as the MG, RG, and down the road we kept it up with the PG, even after Aero fell out of favor.
A personal tip, the more you play the more used you get with names. Don’t stress too much with the correct term Example the Nzaps in S2, we knew the grey zap was a favorite one during scrims and tourneys over other variants, but teams wouldn’t run 2 or more zaps. So in conclusion we would just say Zap
Another very common example of a retroactive naming convention is the case of the Minis. You mentioned Zimi for the Zink Mini Splatling, but I've seen this naming convention applied to the Mini Splatling as Vimi, which doesn't make sense without the Zimi context. In S2, the Kensa Mini Splatling (however rarely it was used) was Kimi in the same vein
"Vanilla" is actually used in gaming as a whole, for example, a game with no modding is commonly called "Vanilla [Game name]" I have also seen it being used in other fields, it's not rare to see
imo the best and least confusing way to distinguish jet squelcher and inkjet is just to say vjet for jet squelcher; a special can't have variants so there's no "vanilla inkjet" to confuse it with. inkjet is already just as short as many other abbreviations so abbreviating it further seems a bit unnecessary when having 2 syllables does the job fine also, it might've been useful to touch on some subs and specials too for this video? a couple of them have some unusual abbreviations or alternate names - line marker (angle shooter's japanese name) or just "marker" for short - hammer for ultra stamp - tristrike for triple inkstrike - zooka for trizooka, carried over from s1's inkzooka - just "zip" for zipcaster - cooler or soda or even tac if you want to get a little silly with your tacticoolers
to me it seems like "stamper" would be easy to confuse with a callout for an ultra stamp, while "wiper" is more distinct, giving the stamper priority for being called "sword" instead
For the Jet Squelchers I heard VJS and CJS constantly thorough Splatoon 2, similar to VDS and CDS, mostly when discussing weapons though; not as callouts.
Something you kinda missed is the Hero Shot, which is also called VShot. It might seem obvious since the kits the same, but I can see someone tripping up on that
My community tends to only use calls during Splatfest, but we do have some calls that may sound weird, as for some weapons we refer to JP names or other terminology… Sploosh series: “Bold”, “Neo Bold”, “Bold 7” Splash series: “Sharpie”, “Neo Sharpie” Blobbers: “Flosher” (from “Overflosher”), “Bathtub”, “Tub” Hydras: “Hydrant” Blue Dapples: “Snow Whites” due to its Splatoon 2 kit making them “poison dapples” Squelchers: “Sweeper” Splatanas in general: “Tana” if only one Bows: “Bow” if only one. “Tribow”, “Reeflux” otherwise Clash Blasters: “Trash Blaster”, “Trash” (old in-joke) Aerosprays: “RG”, “MG”, “PG” if more than one Shorthand for maneuvers - named after people in our group “Draygo-ing”: sharking with a Carbon in the enemy base. “Zordias-ing”: quickly inking enemy base, then looping around and inking it quickly again, over and over. “Tevan-ing”: hiding in odd walls that people rarely used (usually on Moray Towers)
A distinction between weapons i try to encourage with my teammates with callouts is to not be to specific during a match - if there's an elitre, a splash neo, a vanilla splash and a wiper deco for *that game* the weapon callouts should be shortened to respectively - charger, neo/splash, vsplash and wiper respectively. Because of the convoluted nature of weapon shorthands *especially* when new to comp having to think of the proper name of the weapon instead of calling it by its broad term can clutter up valuable call space! This is how myself and my team work with weapon nicknames and im interested to here about how others may do it^^ this is a great recourse for new players to have! keep up the good work gem :)
personally, when i hear 'gal' i think of the 52 by default. you also forgot about a pretty fast callout for heavy: Steve. theres also feed bucket for tri nouveau
28:59 as a Hydra main I distinguish the kits as Hydra and Cdra (pronounced see-dra), mainly because Cdra goes hard as a name. Here's hoping it has a good kit. :)
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 it's to differentiate if both a Neo and vSplash are together, which happens a fair bit, in the heat of things you'll bear splash and you may be able to take the Neo, but not the vSplash due to burst bomb, important to make them sound very different.
Great video ! If you do this again in the future as new kits arrive, I think it would help to be on the weapon selection screen rather than sheldon's shop so that you can filter them by class This way, you could have timestamps for each class if a viewer's interested in a particular weapon/class, and it would help with "general" callouts such as "bucket", so that you don't explain it on the first slosher only :D
The CJr.'s logo is actually a version of the shoshinsha mark for the elderly, so it's a reasonable interpretation to call it the Splattershot Sr., but that didn't make it into the English translation so not many people will know that.
@@SquidSchool I didnt knew about any of that, I just knew Cjr.s french name and your remark made me laugh a bit when I heard it (thanks for the trivia tho)
Funny thing I remember back when the kensa weapons were first added in splat 2 a lot of people were calling the kensa splattershot the “kentatek” or kensatek”
When the Neo Splash-o-matic was added to this game, I thought of referring to it as “2tek”, due to how appallingly similar its kit is to that of the Ttek.
About the Stamper specifically called Sword, in my specific case, it was indeed because of ProChara shortly after the game's release, and I did the same thing because he explained it was to avoid potential confusion with Ultra Stamp (called Stamp), whereas Wiper is just Wiper, there's nothing sounding similar
19:15 funny thing, my first thought when i heard “dino” wasn’t “dinosaur”, but i heard “dyno” as in climbing talk for “dynamic” like when you have to jump or swing from one hold to another instead of doing a normal static reach. i feel like in inkfish society, dynamo players would have a similar stereotype as the tall boulder bros who always dyno every climb they do instead of trying other techniques do irl in the climbing scene haha
I know this sounds unrelated, but how freaking strong are these inklings/octolings? I mean, they can flip a LITERAL fire hydrant machine gun and catch it. Also looking at Sheldon's shop, those splat bombs are pretty big. Those are either props, a plushie, or a secret weapon Sheldon is working on to kill all of splatsville
10:00 Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but I think the reasoning for calling splatana stamper "sword" is because ultra stamp is called "stamp" already and having a stampER and a stamp is easy to confused during a match. Also yes I think this was Chara's doing xD
One thing I remember is that the JP abbreviation for Splattershot is "sushi", stemming from the first syllables of the two parts of the weapon's JP name, "Spla-Shooter". I think ttek is "sushi cola", stemming from "Spla-Shooter Collab".
Some more you might hear (specifically from me): Sploosh: Rat .52 Gal: Gal .96 Gal: 96 (Gal if no .52) Squeezer: Squeeze Dynamo: Dyno (said like Dino) Squiffer: Squif Sloshing Machine: SloshMo Ballpoint: VPN Ballpoint Nouveau: BPN Dualies: Duals Clear Dapple Dualies: Claples Glooga Dualies: Gloogs Tetra Dualies: Tets Any brella without a shield: Naked [insert weapon] Range Blaster: RB Custom RB: CRB Octobrush: OBrush Reef-Lux: Reef Splatana Wiper: 'tana Zipcaster: Zip/Cast/Spiderman Under mid on Sturgeon: Fight Club
One that I've adopted for the S-Blast in terms of a callout is a similar thing to the gals or NZAP, calling it the 92. And, for the Rapid pro deco, it could be abbreviated similarly to CDS, calling it the RPD
whenever I (rarely) see gloogas, i enjoy calling them googas or just glue. this mainly came from me and my friends calling the weapons weird names as a joke (this also made me call goo tuber goober)
This might be a me thing, but i tend to shorten many weapons to even shorter names. Ballpoint i just call pen, tetras down to tets, dapples to daps, slosher to slosh etc. Usualy even 1 syllable is enough for half the weapons bc of how common they are
As I reach the part about my main weapon, I’m reminded of how stupid I was in Splatoon 2. When I made calls there was VDynamo, Gold Dynamo, and my main, KD. I don’t know why I did that
I like to call Splattershot as “Splatter” and “Splatter Pro,” Blobber, Gal, the 52, Aero. I usually call someone by weapon name like “they’re a Charger,” “I’m (a) Dapple,” “they’re a brusher,” “Got my head clapped by a Flingza”,” etc.
I know he's right about the rarity of having a team that has more than one roller and charger, butim reminded of how a few days ago my brother was watching me play open and doing callouts for me because i have pretty bad awareness around me and somehow our team comps for the next 3 matches were full of onlt chargers and rollers, my team having 4 rollers ans the enemy team having 3 chargers and one roller. When we got shuffled it turned into 6 chargers and 2 rollers... I didnt really know what to do at rhat point as one of 2 rollers in the match. Mako mart was alive with the sounds of *charger noise*
Why are some names more abbreviated than others despite there being potential? For instance, the "Rapid Pro". The first thing that came to mind hearing that is "It could be shortened to the "Rapo". Some of it is probably old habits and established names, I guess.
I tend to go with ASpray for Aerospray, and distinguish kits by special since that's the most important part of them. I.e "Aspray Reef or Aspray Booyah"
I’ve always called Stamper “Saw” instead of “Sword” personally, differentiates it from Ultra Stamp whilst also being distinct from the other sword in the game
"I, "ProCharger" the third member of this Bravo Team refered to as "the ones who splat a lot of cephalopods in the Splatoon 3 videogame" currently using the color Blue to win against the enemy Alpha Team refered to as "Splat Markers", who are using the color Orange. I am currently engaging in combat with the second member of the latter team mentioned, "Mk. Boo", who has ambushed me from behind my cover at the south of the Splatzone closer to our side of the Flounder Heights map, and since they are using the Bamboozler Fourteen Mark One, and I am with my main, the E Dash Liter Four Kay Scope, I am at an enormous disadvantage from this distance. Seeing as both them and I are have the Respawn Punisher gear ability on the T dash shirts each of us is currently wearing in game, the time it would take for me to respawn after going down would be considerably longer than usual, and thus I would like to request some assistance from my team in this battle, for this is the Splatzones gamemode, where having the middle of the map painted with the color of our team as opposed to their's is required to achieve victory, making this the mode where having advantage in numbers is arguably more important than in any of the other gamemodes present on the Anarchy Battle and X battle so called "rotations" this videogames provides for it's users to play.
Most i know are jusy caller their full/half of their name, example is Carbon, Carbon Deco, 96, 96 deco, C Dualies, Machine, Tri, slosher, stringer, reflux, wiper, wiper deco, stamper.. And so on.
1. I'd usually just Say Jr. Wave for the Custom Jr. 2. I ironically say CHARGER when referencing a Charger, Pencil with the Snipewriter, and E-Liter for well... you know. 3. There's 4 four brushes ironically. Brush, P-Brush. 4. Bow (Tri Stringer) and Missle Spammer (which I main) 5. I'd say Tenta Sorella Brella would be Zooka Brella l XD 6. Wiper Deco: Missle Spammer II (Or Wiper Deco) 7. N-Zap (Cooler) 8. I forgot the Carbon Deco existed, lol. 9. Kraken Roller sounds great 10. V Nova VS. A Nova 11. 13:41 I mean Annaki has Ink Mine and Inkjet, so that's probably a good one to run. 12. I don't know why Squiffer has not gotten an alternate kit yet. 13. 17:38 Don't know why... 14. Gal, long gal, kraken gal 15. I'd say V Jet and Inkjet 16. 23:28 That's funny 17. V Splash AKA The Crab God 18. V Swig and Train Swig (Get it? Because the trains are known to have EXPRESS in their name!) 19. Forge Splattershot Pro: Booyah Shot XD 20. S-BLAST '92: Dual Blaster 21. V Clash Vs. C Clash 22. BP sounds better.
I usually call the Gootuber the Goober
Hand over the goober
And the users are goofy… oh no
I like to call the Sloshing Machine 'Sloshine'.

If we call the snipewriter the "pencil" then ballpoint splatling should be the "pen"
Do people not call it the "pen"?
@@mc3941i think most people call it "ballpoint". Thats what ive seen watching tourneys anyway
@@baldrickthesphereofamusementyeah. I guess it’s because “ballpoint” just has a nice ring to it compared to “pen”

the true reason we never hear aerospray abbreviated is because it has such a long time to splat that you don’t need to abbreviate its name

Once I forgot what Reef-Lux was called and just said “mini bow”. As long as you get the point across that’s what matters most.
I personally call Z+F ziff. It’s one syllable and pretty unique
I sometimes refer to the Sniperwriter as "John Wick". If you know you know.
One that I've adopted for the S-Blast in terms of a callout is a similar thing to the gals or NZAP, calling it the 92. And, for the Rapid pro deco, it could be abbreviated similarly to CDS, calling it the RPD

whenever I (rarely) see gloogas, i enjoy calling them googas or just glue. this mainly came from me and my friends calling the weapons weird names as a joke (this also made me call goo tuber goober)
This might be a me thing, but i tend to shorten many weapons to even shorter names. Ballpoint i just call pen, tetras down to tets, dapples to daps, slosher to slosh etc. Usualy even 1 syllable is enough for half the weapons bc of how common they are
As I reach the part about my main weapon, I’m reminded of how stupid I was in Splatoon 2. When I made calls there was VDynamo, Gold Dynamo, and my main, KD. I don’t know why I did that
ive definitely heard people say "sponge" for wiper before.
That's a little confusing because sponge is a callout for a particular map feature. I wouldn't get married to the idea
I'm gonna start calling the splatana wiper deco as the splatana diaper now because it's funny and this video gave me the idea
I like to call Splattershot as “Splatter” and “Splatter Pro,” Blobber, Gal, the 52, Aero.
I usually call someone by weapon name like “they’re a Charger,” “I’m (a) Dapple,” “they’re a brusher,” “Got my head clapped by a Flingza”,” etc.
I know he's right about the rarity of having a team that has more than one roller and charger, butim reminded of how a few days ago my brother was watching me play open and doing callouts for me because i have pretty bad awareness around me and somehow our team comps for the next 3 matches were full of onlt chargers and rollers, my team having 4 rollers ans the enemy team having 3 chargers and one roller. When we got shuffled it turned into 6 chargers and 2 rollers... I didnt really know what to do at rhat point as one of 2 rollers in the match. Mako mart was alive with the sounds of *charger noise*
Why are some names more abbreviated than others despite there being potential?
For instance, the "Rapid Pro". The first thing that came to mind hearing that is "It could be shortened to the "Rapo".
Some of it is probably old habits and established names, I guess.
How can you not bring up Clapples from Splatoon 2? 😂
For Neo Sploosh, I have been hearing a lot of Noosh, which is a very good name. Also this is reminding me a lot of Rainglish
I tend to go with ASpray for Aerospray, and distinguish kits by special since that's the most important part of them.
I.e "Aspray Reef or Aspray Booyah"
I call Annaki Nova Novaki.
I’ve always called Stamper “Saw” instead of “Sword” personally, differentiates it from Ultra Stamp whilst also being distinct from the other sword in the game
Goober is my favorite shortening of Goo Tuber
My teams been calling them rapples, blapples and clapples since 2 glad you do too
"I, "ProCharger" the third member of this Bravo Team refered to as "the ones who splat a lot of cephalopods in the Splatoon 3 videogame" currently using the color Blue to win against the enemy Alpha Team refered to as "Splat Markers", who are using the color Orange. I am currently engaging in combat with the second member of the latter team mentioned, "Mk. Boo", who has ambushed me from behind my cover at the south of the Splatzone closer to our side of the Flounder Heights map, and since they are using the Bamboozler Fourteen Mark One, and I am with my main, the E Dash Liter Four Kay Scope, I am at an enormous disadvantage from this distance. Seeing as both them and I are have the Respawn Punisher gear ability on the T dash shirts each of us is currently wearing in game, the time it would take for me to respawn after going down would be considerably longer than usual, and thus I would like to request some assistance from my team in this battle, for this is the Splatzones gamemode, where having the middle of the map painted with the color of our team as opposed to their's is required to achieve victory, making this the mode where having advantage in numbers is arguably more important than in any of the other gamemodes present on the Anarchy Battle and X battle so called "rotations" this videogames provides for it's users to play.
Funny, I was just thinking about learning these better!
I love some callouts, cause you can say "krapid" (crap id) and it makes sense
ive been calling orange zap “chump zap” in game if having to differentiate
I often call dynamo dino haha
btw, K-rapid is just known as Krapid (pronounced crappid) in our team
I use Zink to clarify the Zink Mini Splatling a lot
Most i know are jusy caller their full/half of their name, example is Carbon, Carbon Deco, 96, 96 deco, C Dualies, Machine, Tri, slosher, stringer, reflux, wiper, wiper deco, stamper..
And so on.
Got a team matchup with two hydras, a ZF Charger, and a Bamboozler during random weapons.
I went against a ZF charger, ZF scope, and two snipewriters
S Blast I’ve heard as 92 but can see it being confused w/96
1. I'd usually just Say Jr. Wave for the Custom Jr.
2. I ironically say CHARGER when referencing a Charger, Pencil with the Snipewriter, and E-Liter for well... you know.
3. There's 4 four brushes ironically. Brush, P-Brush.
4. Bow (Tri Stringer) and Missle Spammer (which I main)
5. I'd say Tenta Sorella Brella would be Zooka Brella l XD
6. Wiper Deco: Missle Spammer II (Or Wiper Deco)
7. N-Zap (Cooler)
8. I forgot the Carbon Deco existed, lol.
9. Kraken Roller sounds great
10. V Nova VS. A Nova
11. 13:41 I mean Annaki has Ink Mine and Inkjet, so that's probably a good one to run.
12. I don't know why Squiffer has not gotten an alternate kit yet.
13. 17:38 Don't know why...
14. Gal, long gal, kraken gal
15. I'd say V Jet and Inkjet
16. 23:28 That's funny
17. V Splash AKA The Crab God
18. V Swig and Train Swig (Get it? Because the trains are known to have EXPRESS in their name!)
19. Forge Splattershot Pro: Booyah Shot XD
20. S-BLAST '92: Dual Blaster
21. V Clash Vs. C Clash
22. BP sounds better.
