Splatoon 3 - Reefslider Desync Glitch

Splatoon 3 has an interesting desync glitch with the Reefslider special. I don't see this being fixed anytime soon since this is a design issue.
Songs used:
1001 Spikes -Theme of Intent
killer7 - Russian Roulette
Soul Nomad and the World Eaters - Desperado
Phantom Brave - The End of this Passionate Feeling

This is probably the closest we'll ever get to controlling the Reefslider

[@Maliktevin1643]

Yea I’m pretty sure it is tho

[@TorayNix]

You know a special is doodoo when you literally need to break the game to make it function
That’s why I love it

[@SWC3201DX]

So THIS is why I kept seeing the special go through after cancelling someone using it. I would always see the 'you splat X', even as the special continued to move..

[@emmet042]

It's almost like you bailed off the Reefslider and letting just the inflatable speed on without you!

[@GabeLev]

This is a super useful video thank u for this

[@squidkid419]

I hope the devs don’t patch this because this is the only positive thing this special has going for it

[@antsjohnson9379]

damn, amazing explanations and examples!

[@ThatOneSomethingg]

Interesting video!

I knew this was a thing but never thought it would be reliable enough to abuse even in niche situations. Very nice job experimenting w/ the different maps to find spots for this. Love seeing fellow aerospray gamers in bracket :)
Question: have you tried this in TC at all? I have had many times when lateral tower movement pushes/blocks my reefslider, and I imagine this could have a similar effect to the RM shield.

[@pickpickpickles]

It is very rare for the tower to cause a desync, but it's more likely to happen when slider is about to detonate. Depends on lag in that case. Most of the times I've launched it from tower it just blows up immediately instead

[@theshyestguy4221]

They should just basically turn this into a feature and let you just jump off the shark whenever you want, but let it keep going so when it explodes, you’re safe.
Or, when you reach your chosen donation destination, you just preform a recall super jump from where you started the special, and then it explodes. The same recall super jump that inkjet and that spider-man special I forgot the name have

[@jubbsticksmusic]

is this also how torpedoes desync? where on your screen it hits your enemy but in their view they shot it down? i swear it makes sunder unplayable for me, i always think i have a torp combo ready but they apparently werent hit on their screen 😑

[@pickpickpickles]

I think so! I've seen what you're referring to as well, it's mainly why I go for rolling the torpedo

[@Yahoomst]

Oh damn

[@LUNESSENCEM00NS]

I gotta try this a bit more XD

[@smorbl]

I reccomend you don’t, some of these could possibly get you reported for malicious use of glitches

[@LUNESSENCEM00NS]

@@smorbl That's fair

[@ChrisNieves-mz5nu]

I just called them a fake reefslider or a fake warning

[@pickpickpickles]

I had the idea to call it the ghostslider since it sounds cool
