Battle replay

Battle Replay is a feature introduced in Splatoon 3 that can be accessed via the Lobby Terminal in the Battle Lobby. It allows the player to watch a recreation of past battles.

Description
The Battle Replay feature lets a player view a re-creation of recent battles, with camera tools similar to Spectator View in and controls to pause and rewind the battle. The player has the ability to mark points in the recording as "Highlights". Up to five Battle Replays can be marked as favorite.

Battle Replays can be uploaded to the cloud and searched for using the Replay Code feature. Any player can view a replay as long as they have the correct Replay Code. Battle Replays can only be played on the version of the game they were created in. This means if the game updates, all previous Battle Replays will become inaccessible.

Quotes
"Here's a closer look at the lobby terminal. You can use it to view recent battle results and even watch replay footage! Hey, you could use this like a sports star - watching film for hours before the big game. Or you could just check out everyone's gear, which sounds more relaxing."

Trivia

 * Players can temporarily modify their Battle Lobby and Splatsville ink color by viewing a replay. Upon exiting out, the player's ink color matches the ink color in the replay. This does not work during Splatfests, and also does not work with Splatfest replays.
