Emote

File:Catalogue Pages.png

The Double-Cross Dab emote shown in the catalog.

Emotes are animations performed by the player character when winning a battle or clearing a Salmon Run shift in Splatoon 3. Most of them are obtained through the catalog at Hotlantis. Emotes from previous seasons can be obtained at the Shell-Out Machine, or a decorated Mystery Box.

Sizzle Season 2023

The Sizzle Season 2023 trailer introduced two new emotes. The first shows the character shaking their hands back and forth in a semicircle motion, then ending in a pose with their hands on their hips. The second shows players jumping in the air, landing on their knees, leaning back, with their arms in an expressive motion; similar to singing at live concerts. More further emotes release from the catalog when Sizzle Season 2023 arrives.

All emotes named:

Easy kneesy (L10), Landed It (L24), Roundhouse Balleerina (L35), Windmill Whip (L60), Victory Twist (L73), Ready Stance (L83).

Starting from this season, two select players will be able to bump fists during their emotes. This happens to the two best performing players on the team, selected to be next to each other to perform the fist bump.

Splatfest

The icon of the unobtainable Win TriCol emote.

There are two special emotes performed under certain conditions during a Splatfest. The first emote, named Win TriCol, is performed after a Tricolor Turf War, when the attacking team wins: the winners who covered the most turf perform their chosen emote, while the other attacking team nods with crossed arms.

The emote for a 100x or 333x battle win.

The second emote is performed when a team wins a 100x or 333x Battle. The animation starts with the players doing a little dance before pointing a finger up in the air (at which point the tip of it shines briefly); the whole team then looks at each other, and it ends with every member striking a different pose.

Trivia

• Flip Out and Reppin' Inkopolis are the only emotes so far that feature the player's weapon and varies based on its class.
• The animations for the Reppin' Inkopolis emote are directly based on the female Inkling's victory poses from Splatoon, with some elements from the male's. They appear to have been completely remade, as opposed to imported from Splatoon.
• Some emote animations sync with others when executed. Some notable groups of emotes with this trait are the Victory Strut and the Double-Cross Dab emotes, and the Card Shark and Later, Undulator emotes, as their ending stances are shown at the same time.
• One of the animations for Inklings and Octolings in Splatsville Square is very similar to the No Chill emote. The biggest difference is in the square, they open their mouth in a sigh, while in the No Chill emote their mouth is closed throughout.
• Using supported Splatoon series amiibo, players can perform The Lowdown, No Chill, Victory Strut, Double-Cross Dab, Card Shark, and, as of Version 2.0.0, the Wave 'Em Off and Flip Out emotes by using the "Pose" selection when taking a picture with the amiibo, allowing the player to perform select emotes from previous seasons regardless of whether it is owned.
  • The Wave 'Em Off emote can only be used in the Splatsville Square, while the Flip Out emote can only be used in multiplayer stages.
