What is The BEST Octo Expansion Stage?

- Which stage is the best stage from Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion? I played through all of them and rated them tier list style. I guess I never specified which one I though was the best of all the V tiers, so you get a little bonus for reading the description: Line F 10 "Cubular Station". What's your favorite?

freakazoid station has alternative dialogue if you use the other sniper
Man who has a graduate degree trying to count: A, B, C, 0
In my defense they didn't teach the alphabet in my "very affordable" master's program
Teacher: What are the first 5 letters in the alphabet?
Vasko: V, A, B, C, *0*

Hiiii
VABCO should be a clothing brand in splat 3
Rappers in real life: "Drugs, money, violence."
Rappers in splatoon: "Bahbbabhbahbahbskbakbaibsabah"
@SolsticE especially since one of her songs is @#$% dudes be @#$% sleepin'
Almost positive that pearl is talking about violence in one of their songs
@@MantaKizaemonFTW it censored the inklish bad word in one of the things where it played the song, pearl was a rock singer or whatever its called
She's either aggressively rapping about violence or aggressively rapping about how much she loves marina
@@tdimybeloved both makes her a badass
Octo Expansion taught me how to use ink jet and baller more efficiently, but man it felt good to beat Inner Agent 3.
beating inner agent 3 felt so good, I remember, that I tried to beat him for like 2 hours straight and i was so happy when I finally got him down
I'm soooo close to reaching inner agent 3
@@Brakkex did you get em?
@@Kbefore-lk5cf yeah
It feels good beating Inner Agent 3 because IA3 is supposed to be you playing single player. So you are beating yourself in single player from an Octarian perspective.

This stage gives me bad memories not because it’s difficulty but it’s when I first discovered my joy con had drift. It was a dark time being forced to play mayo vs ketchup 2020 with a wired GameCube controller.
You mean mayo vs ketchup right? lol
That is unfortunate though about joycon drift, I hate that it's still such a prevalent issue Nintendo refuses to fully acknowledge...
@@PrismOpal64 IKR
@@PrismOpal64 yeah I just woke up when I made this comment, so don’t ask where the mustard came from
I had to beat both the story mode and half the expansion with drift lmao
You know the permanent fix for joy cons drift has been found right? I know everyone is talking about it so it's not likely you don't know, but I just want to make sure you aren't still suffering lol
I love that a V-Tier stage plays the “Thang Obtained” jingle, and that an A-Tier one plays the “Test Passed” one
footloose station actually does have some hiding spots, theyre beneath the solid platforms that make up the "eyes" 22:20
Nearly all these levels were hard for me because I was still fairly new to Sploon and I was _still playing with sticks back then_
I play sticks and beat every Octo Expansion level with every weapon (and inner agent 3) with them :)
@@kileyrushforth9233 The chosen one....
@@Spuddie203 :) it’s probably because I hated motion controls and I always aim too far lol. Then I tried sticks and learned how to aim more precisely. (I’m no charger main or anything tho)
@@kileyrushforth9233 thats like really impressive LOL i used to play with sticks bc i was an xbox player and then switched to motion and now i cant play with sticks
@@kileyrushforth9233 same
4:08 Ah my favorite part of this level is right there at the begining where while ur shooting the pellet drums, it pushed you off, just as the platform is pushed out and, i think it got us all when we first played this level, and im kind of surprised u didnt really talk about it
yeh I have no clue why I didn't get pushed offf in the recording
11:15 As a charger main I didnt even realize that you had to utilize your sub and just trick shot everything
I feel that, fellow charger main.
All stages are good but I get it. Everyone can have there own opinions.
Eh I wouldn’t say all but I think most are good
Girl power station is my worst enemy
move it move it station there be like
That one where you have to defend the orb from the octarian siege sucked
@@tdimybeloved its my fav
Now we need a tier list for the store mod levels
Hmm how's this, if this video gets 10k views in a week, I'll do it
Only time tell
@zanderwingergamer I’m not sure if he cares
*mode
Side note: it’s been a year and still no 10k
good use of musical motifs for the Grades (a = aSquidMin outro YE)
Car quest in octo expansion!? This truly is the best dlc…
Car quest
Car quest confirmed
@@over-uz3pq car quest
@@carquest3748 car quest
I love the several 70s/80s/90s references made in the DLC, from Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall, to Van Halen’s Jump just 👌👌👌
Ah yes, my favorite Splatuber, Vabco Games
Genuinely, I think my favorite stage is the one that takes you through the tutorial area. It had been so long since I had played the tutorial that I genuinely thought they designed an entire area for a basic stage! Bit even knowing what I do now, it is still a fun stage
“What’s the best stage in Octo Expansion?”
Me:
…
*silently crosses out every 8-ball level off the list*
For some reason I loved the eight ball stations
@@bingbingbong3925 Same, I don't know why people hate them so much. Girl power station is the one that had me tearing my hair out lol
Vasko: *Lets be honest, we forgot all these stages.*
Me: *i n h a l e s*
Btw if you guys didn’t know, for the One Shot station where you have to get all the crates with balloon fish, you can finish it as soon as you touch the checkpoint. Just hold ZR, step slightly right, and if you time it right you’ll immediately win the station
7:20 I think Nintendo used this level as a throwback to the original
‘’What is this? The fitness gram pacer test?’’ Hardest I’ve laughed in a while.
Best part about Matchmaker Station is that you can toss a bomb towards the boxes from the platform with the goal. Just do it after you've assembled the data point.
An intriguing set of tiers, Unpredictable rankings within that set, and a longer than normal amount of Vasko's entertaining style . . . 3 1/2 stars. 👍👏
(I would have thought Vasko would rank the bosses higher as when I've asked on stream, he said those were his favorite[s], but I digress.)
I sure hope Splatoon 3 also gets such an awesome DLC
There is a lot of personality in this and unlike other rank videos I kept watching, keep up the good work vasko!
Ooo a tier list! This looks amazing so far! Love your videos! 😊👏💕
Really like how there is only 2 O tear stages :)
My favorite one is the one where you get a golden headgear, although I don't remember anything but feeling relief
Dunno why
Ah, yes that one. I only remember it by I still am trying to beat it but took a break from mental breakdowns
I just realized how a few of the Inkjet-only stations had Top Gun references in the names (Iceman and Maverick being two of them) :D
I feel like I'm the only person on planet earth who liked the 8 ball levels, I love the music and I liked having an excuse to slow down and think it through/solve a puzzle instead of just difficult platforming or playing it as a run and gun game
breaking the crates with rapid pro is the best stage (matchmaker station)
For some reason I found it fun instead of frustrating.
Love the way you say the names of the stations! It must have taken a bit of a while to figure out which tier its gonna be so good on you!
Splatoon themed DLC for Car Quest when?
Gosh, watching this video made me realize how much I miss the ost from the expansion
The word lore on games just give me shivers of what I’m gonna find out about
Finally someone did it geez
The third one on the d track (with all the wibbly wobblys) I spent literally half an hour trying to figure out the end part where you throw the bomb onto the booster ramp. Idk why but my brain forgot I had bombs even though I used them previously in the same station.
Knarly rails and baller size are two of my favorites because of how fast paced they are
In defence of A01, if you collect all 100 power eggs in a row without hte counter in the top right resetting, there will be a special line from Captain Cuttlefish and you will get rewarded with 100 extra power eggs, nice little detail and amazed me when I first got it.
V for Vasko Verified
O for Game Over!!!
I like the bamboozler for one reason. In the Ballon and crate stages, it's fast charge rate is amazing, as the crates still break instantly to it.
wowie that must have taken so long to make!! it came out so good!!
This looks sick. Ima grab my popcorn for this :)
Of course you'd give the car level a V Tier. Ridiculous
The audacity
great job man
someone please explain to me why everyone thought the 8-ball stages were hard, i loved getting a break from most of the other stage types
I was going to say the rainmaker stages sound like they should be memorable for being two unique gimmick stages, but then I realized I don’t remember either of them
For me, line B gnarly grindage with the bamboozler (5:31) is the most difficult stage ever made in a splatoon game (until today, before the release of the splatoon 3 expansion pass). It's harder than it looks, it really made me suffer even though I'm a charger main.
17:51 the smash bros scene followed by “POW THE- ow” 😂😂
What makes people happy:
Money ------

Beating Girl Power Stage -------------------------------------
I would give Fake Plastic Station: Looks Like the Real Thing extra points for excellent song reference. Good song.
Oh the 2nd box break and girl power make me want to stand in a *door to the promised land, imo
idk if there's any blenders in the deepsea metro ;)
Ah yes my mistake I will fix it now
Watch your step, so watch your step, don't fall!
On the balloon station where you can’t stop moving or the balloons float away is actually the first level from hero mode but in reverse
Loved the video :)
Epic video :)
Splatoon Video after 10 months yey
When thinking about octo expansion and my 100% playthrough of it (using every weapon) first stages I remember are the one you need to break boxes to match the shape WITH A BLASTER (it was traumatic), girl power station, the one where you need to break boxes with a bamboozler while on rails and the strange one with cars
Freakazoid station is my favorite. Thank you.
"Grillers from Salmon Run?" Those... those are flooders... They've been around since the first game. The grillers are probably based on them.
i actually really liked the cratebuster station. Trying to figure out the best strategy of breaking the most boxes with the different weapons was really fun
also all of the rotating room stations were super fun, just unfortunately very easy.
also girlpower station isnt that hard with curling bombs.
also the 8 ball stations arent that hard atall
but the dodging ones and the grind rail target busting ones are
I remember when I played with vasco when they were on a stream using the 52 gal. I played the entire stream. I thought I was so cool playing with a big CZcamsr and then I’m like, wait they only have 10k subs. Either way it was still really fun
Inner demon may be hard but it’s fun also if u pay attention it’s literally the prequel fight to octoexpansion and the fight is the original battle between the agents back when agent 8 was working for octavio
Short answer: all stages that have crush playing in the background
We all know Inner agent 3 was a nightmare...except people who were actually good at the game. V tier.
The people who always had an online membership don't know how good it was too still have a way to play with supers and rainmaker/tower
I was going to sleep but this is better
I like how the most replayed section of the video is "Is that the Legend of Squelda?"--presumably so people could look at the cartridge (I'm people).
1: What are you doing today
2: playing ranked with bamboozler
1: *taking out gun* I didn’t want to end it this way, but you left me no choice
I’ve finished all the Stations with at least one weapon, many with all weapons (not Girl Power Station, I was lucky to have completed it at all)…and enjoyed nearly all of them and agree with the majority of your analysis. I didn’t play most of them until just recently as I wasn’t very good at Splatoon 2 when I first got it. Also, I haven’t beaten Inner Agent 3 yet.
I also finished Octo Canyon recently, same excuse…I gave up several years ago due to lack of skill. Like the Octo Expansion, I’ve completed much of it with multiple weapons…I think I’ve already earned five of the hero weapons…even weapons I consider myself weak with (e.g. charger and splatling). Sadly, they’re not as powerful in Turf War as they are in Octo Canyon.
I enjoyed Octo Canyon so much I am considering pulling my Wii U out of retirement to revisit the challenges it offered via the Amiibos.
I remember playing the car one late at night and thinking it was really cool, so that one's probably my favorite lol
Thank you for spaltoon2 video vasko.
5:56 in splat3 those are now locker decorations!
beating every stage with every weapon, was surprisingly fun for me and MAAN it felt like a breath of release to beat inner agent 3
yet i still suck at ink jet.. even in splatoon 3-
That first 8 ball stage + one of the stages where you kill a bunch of octocopters were the most memorable for me
I spent ages on them only to press x and leave it like that for 5 years
Yesterday I went back cause I wanted to give inner agent 3 a go and I literally wanted to cry when I realised I hadn’t cleared the stages, glad I’m not 9 anymore otherwise my switch would be in 10,000 pieces 💀💀
It's cool to see the octo expansion comunity still alive
I ain’t coming in here not expecting spoilers
16:43 you should have said something about how you can fling yourself to the goal here. it’s super fun to do
The pool stage I got my first try everything went great and nothing went wrong
Besides disagreeing with you on every single stage love the video ;)
You forgot to give bonuses for excellent jokes in the titles. Maverick Station is memorable just for the Top Gun joke.
I remember I just finished hero mode and it was getting near my birthday, I got the dlc and omg I raged so hard when I realized the gold tooth pick was only if you passed every level first try without skipping
It... it isn't...
17:02 this part is actually the first lvl of the storyline like on splatoon 2 when you save callie
Gnarley rails station is my savior! S+!!! It was the only stage that was esay, quick, payed good, and was enjoyable when I was paying off my debt
This video was V tier!
O tier
House party and all eyez are my favorite stations, but it may just be my charger main bias
i appreciate this video despite disagreeing with nearly every decision haha
My favourite stage is the one that you have to use bombs and you have to find an actually at the end because I really like taking pictures.
Random tip for phase 6: on the part with missiles and bombers there are propellers to block the missiles
“..and it was painful.”
Ad right after: “healthcare is important”
PFFFF
Where’d you get that agent 8 pic in the thumbnail from?
5:40 BRO. I REMEMBER THIS STAGE SOLELY BY HOW INFURIATED IT MADE ME. I HAVEN'T PLAYED OCTO EXPANSION IN YEARS BUT UPON SEEING THAT RECOGNIZABLE GRINDING NIGHTMARE I STARTED FROTHING AT THE MOUTH. THE MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
To explain the plugging in, you needed power for the elevator platform thing.
11:09 actually, its while it moves LEFT. If you hit it while its in front of the right middle box you are pretty much guaranteed success every time (i know because i did this stage like 10 times in a row once to grind CQ Points
Bit sad that octo expansion came out before the Kensa update as I’m sure they could’ve used the booyah bomb and stamper somewhere
for some reson when i see the diapragm station it reminds me of a reactor meltdown
7:50 had me on the floor
Man, one time in girl power station, the orb broke at 0.85 seconds left for me
My favorite is how they named some inkjet levels after top gun character
What is your opinion on captain Brock bristle
