"whatDoINeed.header": "What do I need?",
"whatDoINeed.body": "You don't need to be any specific skill level to join the community. There are people of all skill levels in the community. Typically you can expect to play mostly against people in the X Rank even in the lower level tournaments but even that is not a requirement. It can be more fun to improve in a group.\n\nDiscord account in practice will be needed as a lot of the communication within teams and tournaments happens there. You can also use a Discord account to log in to sendou.ink.\n\nFor voice chat players typically use Discord. In terms of setting it up you can search online for more information but some people might use an audio splitter that allows you to hear both in-game audio and voice chat with the same headphones. Simpler setup might be to use headphones from your phone for example and use speakers for in-game audio.\n\nYou should also invest in an ethernet cable. Stable internet makes the game more enjoyable for yourself and people who play against you.",
"whatDoINeed.header": "What do I need to play competitive Splatoon?",
"whatDoINeed.body": "You don't need to be any specific skill level to join the community, as people of all skill levels can find their own success. Typically, you can expect to mostly play against people in S+/X Rank (even in lower level tournaments that are designed for those new to competitive), but being S+/X Rank is not a requirement. A lot of people have more fun improving with a group, so give it a shot!\n\nIn practice, players will need a Discord account, as a lot of the communication within teams (through both text and voice chats) and tournaments happens there. You can also use a Discord account to log in to sendou.ink.\n\nIn terms of setting up the combination of voice chat and in-game audio, you can search online for more information, but some people might use an audio splitter or a capture card setup that allows you to hear both with the same headphones. A simpler (and cheaper) setup might be to use headphones to hear and speak to the voice chat through your phone and use a set of speakers to listen to in-game audio.\n\nYou should also invest in an ethernet cable, as a more stable internet connections make the game more enjoyable for everyone by reducing the amount of disconnects and other issues that may be caused by a wireless connection!",
"motionControls.header": "Should I use motion controls?",
"motionControls.body": "In short if you are able to, yes. This is somewhat unique to Splatoon but all high and top level players practically without exception use motion controls. Stick controls differ from most other console shooters in the way that there is no aim assist. In practice using them means you are at a disadvantage.",
"weapons.header": "How to select what weapons to play?",
"weapons.body": "If you are just starting out worrying too much about what weapon is popular right now in the meta-game is not necessary. This is something that changes rapidly from patch to patch and typically only starts to matter at the very high level of play. Instead choose a weapon to get good at that you enjoy playing. Then consider complementing it with 1-2 other alternative weapons that are different from it (in kit or range for example). This makes it easier for you to fit the team composition no matter what your teammates are playing.",
"builds.header": "How to make a good build?",
"builds.body": "Min-maxing builds can be fun but it's important to realize that how well you do in matches is overwhelmingly decided by your skill rather than the exact build you are using. Only rule you really need to remember is diminishing returns meaning the first sub of any given ability is going to be the most effective and the more you are stacking, the less of an effect you will be seeing. That's why typically mixing at least a handful of different abilities is likely going to be the strongest build. That said instead of reinventing the wheel you can just check what experienced players are using via the >>builds<< listing.\n\nIf you are someone who likes to optimize everything down to the last sub then make sure to check out >>analyzer<< and >>object-damage-calculator<< to learn exactly what each ability does.",
"motionControls.body": "In short, if you are able to, yes. This is somewhat unique to Splatoon (compared to most console shooters), but almost all high and top level players use motion controls. Stick controls differ from most other console shooters in the fact that there is no aim assist in Splatoon, which causes stick controls to be disadvantageous compared to motion controls.",
"weapons.header": "How do I select what weapons to play?",
"weapons.body": "If you are just starting out, do not feel like you have to play a weapon in the metagame. The meta is something that changes over time and typically only starts to matter at very high levels of play. Instead, choose a weapon that you enjoy playing, and improve your skill using it. Then, consider complementing it with 1-2 other main weapons (most often, players will gravitate towards weapons that have similar ranges and/or playstyles when selecting their weapon pool). Having flexibility in your weapon pool will make it easier for you to fit your team's composition and take advantage of certain maps, enemy compositions, etc.",
"builds.header": "How do I make a good build?",
"builds.body": "Optimizing builds and making the most of them can be fun, but it's important to realize that how well you do in matches is overwhelmingly decided by your skill, and not the exact build you are using. If you feel stuck or want to know what experienced players are using, use the >>builds<< database.\n\nIf you are someone who likes to optimize everything down to the last sub, then make sure to check out the build >>analyzer<< and the >>object-damage-calculator<< to learn exactly what each ability does.",
"mapsModes.header": "What maps/modes are played competitively?",
"mapsModes.body": "This will completely depend on the tournament. Before signing up for a tournament on sendou.ink you will be able to see the maps and modes the tournament is running. For higher level of play and some open tournaments Splat Zones only is popular. Turf War is less popular in competitive than other modes but there are also tournaments that include it. Notably Koshien in Japan which is one of the most prestigious tournaments is only Turf War.",
"mapsModes.body": "This will completely depend on the tournament. Before signing up for a tournament on sendou.ink, you will be able to see the maps and modes the tournament is running. For some open tournaments and those geared towards higher levels of play, Splat Zones only is the most popular format. Turf War as a mode is almost nonexistent in competitive (outside of Japan), but there are a few tournaments that include it (notably Koshien, which is one of the most prestigious tournaments in Japan).",
"findingTeam.header": "How can I find a team?",
"findingTeam.body": "Browse the posts on >>lfg<< or leave your own!",
"noTeam.header": "I don't have a team yet, can I still play?",
"noTeam.body": "Team or no team solo practice is crucial for improving. Even the best of the best players have put in a significant amount of hours practicing solo ranked (X Rank). You also sometimes see people use peak X Rank power (XP) as a skill indicator. As a newer player one of your main goals should be reaching X Rank and then improving your rank. One of the pitfalls is despairing over what your teammates are doing in any given match. Do not fall for this, as this is not something you can affect and the best players can turn even the most unwinnable matches around. For divisions Tentatek can be good when starting but you will find most of the competitive players choosing the Takoroka division which is something to keep in mind.\n\nSendouQ is an extension of the in-game solo. It allows you to queue alone or with 1-3 of your friends. There is a built-in solution to form a team on the spot. When signing up solo be prepared for it to take some time. Typically you would want to for example play solo in the background and check back to how the team forming is going between games. Remember to also set your full match profile on the >>settings<< page.\n\nYou don't need a team to start playing in tournaments. Check out >>calendar<< and utilize filters to find out tournaments that are either 1vs1 format or are \"draft\" format. 1vs1 is not the typical competitive format (that would be 4vs4) but it's a good way to get your feet wet. Draft tournaments have the organizer form teams from the solo sign-ups. Even if the tournament does not have solo sign-ups as such you can use the LFG feature to indicate you are looking for a team for the event. The actual process works similarly to SendouQ team forming.\n\nGood way to improve is also to watch and study good players that play the same weapons as you! The >>vods<< feature is one way to discover them.",
"noTeam.body": "While having four players is required for most tournaments (the exception being those dedicated to 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3), there are multiple ways to get involved.\n\nSendouQ is an extension of the in-game solo queue. It allows you to queue alone, or with 1-3 of your friends. There is a built-in solution to form a team on the spot. When signing up solo, be prepared for it to take some time.

"haveTeam.header": "I have a team, what should we do?",
"haveTeam.body": "Never too early to participate in some tournaments! On the >>calendar<< you can filter by the \"Skill cap\" tag to find tournaments specifically catered to newer teams. That said don't be shy to try some open level tournaments as well. It's a good way to avoid building bad habits around strategies that won't work against higher level teams.\n\nOutside of tournaments >>sendouq<< is in fact best experienced with a pre-made team. It can give you that tournament like pressure of a \"best of\" set while you are practicing a specific map list, maybe for some of your upcoming tournaments.\n\n>>scrims<< are another great option. While map list tracking is supported here it's not really about \"win or lose\". Instead you are trying to learn in an environment where you are able to replay maps and play an extended period of time against the same opponent. Scrims can be scheduled which gives you a better chance to find a suitable opponent than just relying on finding one on the spot.",
"ranks.header": "What are ranks on sendou.ink? (Leviathan/Diamond/Platinum…)",
"ranks.body": "Play SendouQ and ranked tournaments to participate in sendou.ink competitive seasons. Once you have played at least seven sets, your rank will be calculated and shown. Then you can try to get it higher before season ends! Ranks are always strictly percentile based so for example \"Leviathan\" is always the top 5% of the players who participated in the season. View all ranks on the >>tiers<< page.",
"haveTeam.body": "Don't be afraid to participate in some tournaments early on! On the >>calendar<< you can filter by the \"Skill cap\" tag to find tournaments specifically catered to newer teams. That being said, try to incorporate some open level tournaments into your schedule as well.

"divs.header": "What are \"divs\"?",
"divs.body": "Divs or divisions are related to >>luti<< (Leagues Under The Ink) which is the biggest Splatoon league. It has historically been run about once or twice a year. For historical reasons, people sometimes use them as proxy to player skill. So if someone is saying they are \"Div 2\" that would mean their skill level is higher than \"Div 4\". The actual way to get a Div is to participate in LUTI (which you should participate in because it's a very special event, not to get a div) but people also freely estimate them.",
