Super Chump

The Super Chump is a special weapon in, added in Fresh Season 2023 (Version 3.0.0).

Appearance
When a player activates the Super Chump special, they pull out a cannon mostly transparent and colored in the player's ink color. The bombs the cannon shoots are colored with the player's ink color, along with having confetti and a face which consists of two black dots which resemble eyes and a heart shape that resembles a mouth.

Splatoon 3
The Super Chump is a cannon which shoots as many bombs as it can in its time period. The bombs are large, balloon-like enlarged Suction Bombs which explode after a short period of time, a similar principle to the Bomb Rush and Bomb Launchers.

When activated, the user will begin by holding the cannon to aim it using a targeting circle. If the center of the circle is out-of-bounds, or the user is not on ground, a "Can't Use!" warning will appear. Once set with, the cannon will deploy the decoys in a random spread within the circle on the ground, displaying their landing sites as Super Jump markers, which show the names of the players on the team that launched them.

After the cannon is launched, the user cannot charge the special gauge again until it has fully depleted, similar to Tenta Missiles.

Although the cannon can't be destroyed, enemy fire, terrain (like the rotating platforms in Museum d'Alfonsino), and the tower in Tower Control can destroy the bombs. After landing, the bombs will explode after a few seconds.

Special Power Up increases the turf inked by each bomb launched by the Super Chump.

Badges
Wining a certain number of battles with the Super Chump will reward the player with special badges that they can use on their Splashtag.

Trivia

 * Super Chump was originally datamined in the Drizzle Season 2022 as an unused special, codenamed "firework".
 * The Super Chump bombs resemble scaled up versions of Suction Bombs. They even possess a "face" like the Suction Bomb, albeit with much more detail.
 * Similar to Bomb Launcher, the Super Chump cannon plays a jingle while active.
 * If the player uses the Super Chump while touching and facing a wall, the cannon will appear to be inside of that wall. Also, if the player uses the Super Chump when facing a ledge, the cannon will appear to be floating in the air once placed.
 * Both of the first two Super Chump weapons were weapons whose counterparts had Tenta Missiles as the corresponding special.

Etymology
The English name is a combination of "Super Jump" and "chump" (phonetically similar to "Jump" and referencing the decoy aspect). It may also be a reference to chum, a type of bait often used to lure sharks, fitting in with the sea theme of SS undefined.
