welp Edit (05/31/24) OKAY I DON'T WANT TO JINX IT BUT IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE WE'LL GET IT NEXT SEASON. PRAYING 🙏 Edit (08/23/24) I was wronged, AGAIN! The final BR stage was announced and threw me off for a loop!
this is a thought ive always had in the back of my mind. splatsville is so weirdly big, having it be a surprise big run stage would be the coolest thing
Yeah! It came across my mind after roaming around it a few months back. I asked myself: “Why does the geometry of this place feel like it would support Salmon Run’s behaviors?”
I’ve been saying this since the first big run. The splatcast dialogue kept supporting this theory, saying things about how close the stages are to Splatsville and its waterways. It’s also cool how each new SR stage seems to be closer and closer to Salmonid turf, while each big run stage is closer to Splatsville.
Final Big run should be golden random weapons on all past maps + datamined maps (sturgeon and flounder). Also it would be funny to have some lesser salmonids running around the plazas + a cohock holding the stolen shoal sign lmao
Barnacle & Dime was also really cool to look at, the shattered skylight and how it looked on special waves. But it would be really cool if all the stages that were effected by big run had them being repaired during battles for maybe a week.
Little Buddy would be horrified, since he hangs out in splatsville. yeah I know he is also in inkopolis and inkopolis square, but imagine how funny that would be.
Having Splatsville being the final stage would be SO COOL.😭 My personal favorite stages are Umami and Eeltail! I liked Barnacle, but I mostly had to play with randos, which was a bit frustrating. Like, guys, I'm BEGGING you to let the snatchers get the eggs.
It would be nice for Splatsville to FINALLY get use out of the numerous unusable doors/areas in the map, and having it happen for Big Run would be super cool to see!!
Even though every BIG Big run is the last big run, it would be cool if they turned the rest of the maps, or a few others ones into Big Run stages. But feels like to much
Another thing to consider is that the lore of the series implies that big runs are a rare yet natural phenomenon, given they never happened in S1 or S2, we can assume that lore wise they have been getting increasingly more common since splatoon 3 started, which would point towards one major big run being imminent.
Deep Cut where clearly afraid that the salmonids could be inside splatsville in the previous big run They really acknowledged it ! Now imagine if we get to see Deep Cut somehow fights during the big run ? (Like how Pearl appears in the Final Fest match ?) Shiver could use Master Mega Frye would throw Ink Strike with her Eels And Big Man should be able to throw bombs like in his battle from the hero mode lmao
Another little detail that implies that splatsville will be the final big run stage is the sewers located near the tableturf battle section. If you listen close enough you can hear quiet salmonid sounds coming from it
It's amazing how the S3 stages that are considered to be pretty bad/awful or painfully average work as amazing Big Run stages. Maybe we should take the rest and force them into Salmon in 4
HAVING SPLATSVILE AS THE LAST MAP IS SO GOOD! I EVEN GOT GOOSEBUMPS, I saw you hearted my comment and liked it so one thing about splatsville has a lot of high places and low places but I think that with bridges it could be ok for low tide
I acctully see… well 3… possibillities here 1. It could just be Splatsville 2. It could just be Scourge Gorge Or 3. All 6 other maps return But also when its hosted could also be something, they could just do it in june, but this might be the final one, what if they did host it together with splatfest… or even in the build up to finalfest
I actually wish there are at least two or three more big runs, wish desperately for content extension and I personally loved big runs. I love the idea of the splatsville being the final one, but hey, I really wish crableg capital and shipshape cargo co. were somehow included, mainly due to the fact how ridiculous they'll be like. Imagine nearby skyscrapers with floors flooded with murky water falling like a waterfall and salmonoids fixed the elevators and used them alongside gushers in crableg capital, or boats and ships carrying groups of salonoids to the platform where they hop on to fight inklings and octolings, just like pirates on boarding, in shipshape cargo co. Plus these two stages were announced in the same season, which would be quite fitting, and give a glance how crazy salmonoids can be during invasion.
I love this idea a lot, but if I had to guess, it’s probably not gonna happen From Nintendo’s pov, even for a finale big run, it’s a lot more work to rework the entire splatsville map into a salmon run stage (deleting loading zones, removing everybody, allowing for ink splatter, etc), when they can just reuse a smaller, much simpler, and easier to modify stage. Plus, in terms of layout, splatsville is pretty much just a giant square with a wall in the middle. Probably would make it awkward to play on at best, and barely functional at worst. Not saying I don’t want to see it happening, I’m saying that I don’t predict it will happen.
That would be absolutely amazing but i kinda doubt they will do that. They‘ve been pretty lazy on the last few updates. I think it‘s gonna be Scorch Gorge just because it‘s easy for them to do and it‘s the „signature“ Splatoon 3 Stage
Splatsville is something people have expressed early on that they wanted it, but I would be very surprised if they actually give us that. Nice theory, but too good to be true until proven otherwise, imo. Different idea: last Big Run is all 6 maps on a randomizer. Oh, and what could the trophy be?
Stlatsvill would be so freaking cool, i love this idea so much! also in the splatoon direct it said that splatoon 3 was PLANNED to have 2 years of content. they were also being very secretive on what they were revealing about the games future.
Tbh I think having the last major update being Drizzle season would make more sense. If the pattern continues, if Drizzle season is a major update we will get a new king salmonid and specials. That would also be the 9th season and 9 is 3x3 so there’s that too.
This is a great theory, I think this would def be smth the devs do for the last big run! Only thing is I think it will be in drizzle season 2024, even if there’s no content update. The final Splatfest is likely to happen then as well, since it’s two years after the game came out, so I think the final big run then would be more likely
It would be very fitting if we got Saltspray revealed for next season, but we wouldn't be able to play on it until after Big Run. It IS the stage that people first brought up the "This would be great as a Salmon Run Stage!" with, so I'm really surprised it hasn't been brought back yet.
despite the "big big run" i think you still got this spot on. FINAL SPLATFEST SPOILERS there is a leak for a final big run and it is leaked to be during the splatfest. so it is rumored to be a week long splatfest which is half splatfest and half big run. the final splatfest is also in the crater, meaning if its in splatsville thats where you can hide.
Interesting big run stage ranking. I am kinda biased to inkblot due to it being the first one I've seen. Plus the difference between the coho statue and the other big run statues is uhh....
What will it be A boring Splatoon 3 all salmon runs each 2 hours event Or a plaza getting invaded that will put splatoon 3 in a much better stage that is now?
That’s understandable! They could just make it happen on a regular stage such as Scorch Gorge, and it’s a coincidence that Eeltail was the most recent.
I would love to have seen your thoughts on where the basket would have hypothetically been on high and low tide, not to mention how they would rearrange the buildings to make it more accessible as a map. Right now I feel like it would be way too easy to get isolated from your team. But as for the overall theory, I 100% agree with you and I've been speculating it from like ... The 3rd big run. It would be a great last stage for us to see
I actually made a part that is dedicated to the layout of the map! but the source is not something I personally want to link… High tide would be by the battle tower and grizzco industries, low tide would be in the main street area, and normal tide by the tableturf area!
One thing I think would be pretty neat is if Nintendo wanted to go for a more "the Salmonids have ravaged the city and we need to defend its legacy/beginnings" to have the shops/buildings kind of like Lost Outpost, with inkable walls to go up and take vantage points to have higher ground.
Big run and eggstra work seems so limited. So far I’ve played 3 big runs and 2 eggstra works. They neglected salmon run even more than the weird Z shaped multiplayer maps. Kind of annoying.
To me I would rank the big run stages this: Wahoo world was definitely the goat especially with the high tide mothership S tier Ink blot was tricky especially mid tide but with the 2nd king salmonid it was fun but I would rank it a c Undertow was the worst stage in the big runs definitely hard but I managed to get the 5% but it’s a D Um’ Ami ruins was amazing and the grizzco dualies are amazing I would ranking it a solid A Barnacle and dime was another Goat and It showed another king salmonid Joe and I loved the new point system despite the fact that there was a bug and it gave everyone the wrong ranking decorations but thankfully they fixed asap regardless barnacle and dime is another S And eeltail it was challenging especially the low tide and I would rank it B
I would like to take a moment to take in the fact this guy is level 153 Also if the last big run is Splatsville, splatoon 4 could possibly be a ruined splatsville and story mode is trying to save splatsville
I swear to FUCK if big run ends Im never playing splatoon 3 again, big run is the ONLY reason Im hyped for splatoon 3 anymore due to the normal battles being UDDER GARBAGE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE FUN IN!!
Personally I don't think we're done with Big Run yet. Sizzle Season cant be the last one. It'd have to be Drizzle Season. Both S1 and S2 ended their updates close to or around their respective launch date. With Final Fest acting as the last event. Not to mention the new Stringer and Splatana launching in Sizzle would mean that one more season in required to give them the second kits (THEY HAVE NEVER LAUNCHED A NEW WEAPON AND ITS SECOND KIT SIMULTANEOUSLY. You need to learn the weapon before you change it up y'know?). I personally think this is what will happen Next season will happen on Sturgeon Shipyard, Flounder, or Mahi Mahi. It will introduce the Grizzco Roller that was datamined a while back. Drizzle Season will have the Finale Run in which every 2 hours the big run stages will shift between the 7 stages we have plus 1 new one. This will happen the first week with a Splatfest sneak peek happening during it, just like the Anniversary fest. This would be for Final Fest of course. This final run would bring in ONE final King to round it to 4 as only having 3 kings seems strange...even for Splatoon 3 pushing the number 3 so much.
@@latesthope yeah they can. But they won't. Thy have no reason to. Y'all simply lost hope, while I can see the patterns that have been constant over the 3 games and remain a bit hopeful
Watch all 3 king salmonids appear at the same time. The timer is infinite, and the wave is over until everyone dies or all 3 king salmonids are dead. EDIT: I think I low key called it
Updates end in september, the last big run will likely be in june, and splatoon 4 will most likely release in 5-7 years(given splatoon 3 came out 5 years after splatoon 2). So yeah, November is too late
welp
Edit (05/31/24) OKAY I DON'T WANT TO JINX IT BUT IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE WE'LL GET IT NEXT SEASON. PRAYING 🙏
Edit (08/23/24) I was wronged, AGAIN! The final BR stage was announced and threw me off for a loop!
Have fun with the return of inkblot and every other stage + triple king hell!
Turns out the next big run is all of them
this is a thought ive always had in the back of my mind. splatsville is so weirdly big, having it be a surprise big run stage would be the coolest thing

It’s also cool how each new SR stage seems to be closer and closer to Salmonid turf, while each big run stage is closer to Splatsville.
for real
@@hydrocynic BRO i was just thinking: What if the final big run was in the city? That would be cool and could totally work
Having the city be the final big run stage would be SUPER claustrophobic
wouldn't that also involve people who don't want to do big runs???
Edit: i see. i am a fool
Final Big run should be golden random weapons on all past maps + datamined maps (sturgeon and flounder). Also it would be funny to have some lesser salmonids running around the plazas + a cohock holding the stolen shoal sign lmao
Total chaos!!
I’m curious to see what the devs would do with Splatsville.
Imagine seeing Salmonids come out the shops. lol.
There's just a Big Shot walking out of Harmony's Store wearing a wig of her hair and launching marketable plushies 😂
Flyfish stealing a full set of Special Charge Up clothing...
@@bluekirby_64 😭😭😭
Cohozuna with stealth jump...
Hear me out:instead of 4 people, you have 8!
Having splatsville as the last big run stage would be sick
Barnacle & Dime was also really cool to look at, the shattered skylight and how it looked on special waves. But it would be really cool if all the stages that were effected by big run had them being repaired during battles for maybe a week.
Even Deep Cut themselves acknowledged how close the salmonids were getting to Splatsville
Little Buddy would be horrified, since he hangs out in splatsville. yeah I know he is also in inkopolis and inkopolis square, but imagine how funny that would be.
Having Splatsville being the final stage would be SO COOL.😭
My personal favorite stages are Umami and Eeltail! I liked Barnacle, but I mostly had to play with randos, which was a bit frustrating. Like, guys, I'm BEGGING you to let the snatchers get the eggs.
It would be nice for Splatsville to FINALLY get use out of the numerous unusable doors/areas in the map, and having it happen for Big Run would be super cool to see!!
The fact that this fits well bc the plaza was uninkable before and now we can paint in it fits well.
Even though every BIG Big run is the last big run, it would be cool if they turned the rest of the maps, or a few others ones into Big Run stages. But feels like to much
Another thing to consider is that the lore of the series implies that big runs are a rare yet natural phenomenon, given they never happened in S1 or S2, we can assume that lore wise they have been getting increasingly more common since splatoon 3 started, which would point towards one major big run being imminent.
Deep Cut where clearly afraid that the salmonids could be inside splatsville in the previous big run
They really acknowledged it !
Now imagine if we get to see Deep Cut somehow fights during the big run ? (Like how Pearl appears in the Final Fest match ?)
Shiver could use Master Mega
Frye would throw Ink Strike with her Eels
And Big Man should be able to throw bombs like in his battle from the hero mode lmao
Another little detail that implies that splatsville will be the final big run stage is the sewers located near the tableturf battle section. If you listen close enough you can hear quiet salmonid sounds coming from it
It's amazing how the S3 stages that are considered to be pretty bad/awful or painfully average work as amazing Big Run stages. Maybe we should take the rest and force them into Salmon in 4

Or 3. All 6 other maps return
But also when its hosted could also be something, they could just do it in june, but this might be the final one, what if they did host it together with splatfest… or even in the build up to finalfest
I think that the big run will be happening only in splatsville not in inkopolis or inkopolis square because they are to small for big run
They'll probably do it like the anniversary splatfest, put them all at once like a mega invasion
We still don't know what happens when we lose a big run after all this time I actually hope we lose one so we can see what happens
I actually wish there are at least two or three more big runs, wish desperately for content extension and I personally loved big runs. I love the idea of the splatsville being the final one, but hey, I really wish crableg capital and shipshape cargo co. were somehow included, mainly due to the fact how ridiculous they'll be like.

Not saying I don’t want to see it happening, I’m saying that I don’t predict it will happen.
I have never clicked on a video of yours faster. So excited for the next (and possibly final!) Big Run.
I’m p sure there’s some dialog talking about how the salmonids are getting closer so I wouldn’t be surprised if we got the plaza as a map.
That can be a nice map,my theory is that is gonna be all the previous maps and a new one,that can actually be splatsville or maybe just a regular map
In bonuses for the final big run, I will be happy if they boost the golden scale drop
i would love this, the detail of deepcut taking cover in grizzco is so neat
I think this is the first vid from you I’ve seen, but when I noticed you’re a mostly Salmon Run-related channel, I just HAD to subscribe!
unfortunately i got into splatoon after the most recent big run, so this will be my first. im quite excited!
*It’s all of them.*
That would be absolutely amazing but i kinda doubt they will do that. They‘ve been pretty lazy on the last few updates. I think it‘s gonna be Scorch Gorge just because it‘s easy for them to do and it‘s the „signature“ Splatoon 3 Stage

Imagine high tide basket at the top of that rising area that goes REALLY high up
This wins it for me…😂
I still hope big runs can be regular events or at least let us play them in private battles with friends.
I’ve had the idea of the final Big Run being in Splatsville City since near launch.
Love your content! Keep it up! 🍀
Stlatsvill would be so freaking cool, i love this idea so much!
also in the splatoon direct it said that splatoon 3 was PLANNED to have 2 years of content. they were also being very secretive on what they were revealing about the games future.

The final update will probably be during Sizzle Season to prepare for finalfest
This is a great theory, I think this would def be smth the devs do for the last big run! Only thing is I think it will be in drizzle season 2024, even if there’s no content update. The final Splatfest is likely to happen then as well, since it’s two years after the game came out, so I think the final big run then would be more likely
Dont forget about some of deep cuts dialogue during undertows and eeltails big run. They are literally telling us splatsville is coming
It would be very fitting if we got Saltspray revealed for next season, but we wouldn't be able to play on it until after Big Run. It IS the stage that people first brought up the "This would be great as a Salmon Run Stage!" with, so I'm really surprised it hasn't been brought back yet.
I would love to see the final Big Run as a Golden Weapon rotation weekend.
we have 3 lobbies I say we give the salmons one
despite the "big big run" i think you still got this spot on.
FINAL SPLATFEST SPOILERS

I've also had the theory that the final Big Run would be in the Splatsville plaza, just seems like the perfect finish to a unique event.
For inkopolis, urchin underpass would be a cool stage for the final big run ngl
Interesting big run stage ranking. I am kinda biased to inkblot due to it being the first one I've seen. Plus the difference between the coho statue and the other big run statues is uhh....
I really hope you’re right.
What will it be
A boring Splatoon 3 all salmon runs each 2 hours event
Or a plaza getting invaded that will put splatoon 3 in a much better stage that is now?
but hey, that's just a theory. A GAAAMMME THEORY!!
R.I.P. MatPat hosting game theory
This would be so cool but I don't think this would happen it just seems like too much work for a 2 day long event
That’s understandable! They could just make it happen on a regular stage such as Scorch Gorge, and it’s a coincidence that Eeltail was the most recent.

Ink blot was tricky especially mid tide but with the 2nd king salmonid it was fun but I would rank it a c
Undertow was the worst stage in the big runs definitely hard but I managed to get the 5% but it’s a D
Um’ Ami ruins was amazing and the grizzco dualies are amazing I would ranking it a solid A
Barnacle and dime was another Goat and It showed another king salmonid Joe and I loved the new point system despite the fact that there was a bug and it gave everyone the wrong ranking decorations but thankfully they fixed asap regardless barnacle and dime is another S
And eeltail it was challenging especially the low tide and I would rank it B
Adding to you claim during the reveal of eeltail ally frye mentioned that the salmonoid are now on their terf
So I heard somewhere that Flounder Heights has Big Run related data so I don't think this'll happen
I would like to take a moment to take in the fact this guy is level 153
Also if the last big run is Splatsville, splatoon 4 could possibly be a ruined splatsville and story mode is trying to save splatsville
they would never treat us that well bro 😭
I am going to miss big run when it’s gone

Alterna can be?

Out of context, but what rank are you in right now, because I’m quite confident we played quite a bit of anarchy battles recently
S+! My username is "hydrocynic"
I’m thinking about buying splatoon 3 in November but I’m not sure if that ‘too late’. Like will there be a part 4?
Updates end in september, the last big run will likely be in june, and splatoon 4 will most likely release in 5-7 years(given splatoon 3 came out 5 years after splatoon 2).
So yeah, November is too late
6 minute 22 second video that doesn't answer the question posed in the title (because we don't know the answer yet). Pointless clickbait.
