Talk:Smallfry (species)

Can Smallfry climb?
@Gulliblepikmin and Captain agent 3: I noticed there was a disagreement over whether smallfry can climb.

Captain agent 3 stated several reasons in the Discord why they believe they can jump, including that they leave ink behind which means they may be touching the wall and thus climbing it, but I'm not 100% sure if that's climbing or jumping. If someone wants to check the game to verify they are actually climbing versus jumping that would be good.

Gulliblepikmin: in the meantime if you still disagree you can add " ", and you can remove the climbing claim if no one is able to provide a citation within a week or so.

Captain agent 3: please don't repeatedly revert edits, as edit warring is frowned upon. Thank you. Heddy (talk) 03:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not on the discord so I knew nothing about this. It's kind of hard to tell if it really is wall climbing for the smallfry as all the lessers can jump to unlimited heights, and it might just be that the Smallfry's ink creating hitbox is the only one that's big enough compared to their collision boxes to actually ink walls. Anyways I'll go add the citation and leave it there for someone to fill it.


 * Oh yeah while I'm here may I ask if the plural version of Chum is "Chums" or "Chum"?-Gulliblepikmin 04:15, 30 October 2022‎ (UTC)
 * Nintendo has not talked about Chums in a plural context, so that means we must rely on the rules of English. Therefore, Chums is the correct plural of Chum. Heddy (talk) 05:52, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * One of Mr. Grizz's quote states that Salmonids can't climb. If the game says it outright, I'm leaning towards jumping instead of climbing Islar74 (talk) 10:24, 31 October 2022 (UTC)


 * To quote Mr. Grizz in Splatoon 2; "Salmonids can't climb walls, so when you've got downtime, ink some escape routes instead of slacking off.". To quote him again in Splatoon 3; "Salmonids can't climb walls. Ink some walls ahead of time for shortcuts when things go belly-up.". -Gulliblepikmin 15:06, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Hits to splat smallfry
I really do not think that the hits to splat smallfry should be here, it takes up a large amount of the page and looks quite out of place with the weapon order. If we were to take it down, where would we store this information? MarioL369 (talk) 17:09, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
