rip automobiles.

Well I was gonna choose cars as well since road trips are the best. Just get to King and call it a night/day...

 

[DrFaustPhD]

Welp, at least team car won't have to wait long for matches

 

[Gaiaknight]

Oh no. Of course, because I chose Team Car. I've never been on the winning side of a Splatfest. Neverrrrrrr

make that 2 plane vs plan matches in a row....

 

[Nia]

Everything was going well until this one match. There needs to be a "Get it together you idiots!" button.

 

[ChrisD]

My first match was Planes v Planes.

This coloration is beautiful with the night time lighting.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

My first match was Planes v Planes.

My third one is just that, before I got disconnected.

Is this what being more popular is like here?

 

[ChrisD]

It's not quite Marshmallow v Hot Dogs (nothing in America has reached that point again), but yeah, this is what choosing the more popular side is like. Long waiting times and facing your own team.

Echolocator is godly in this rotation.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Fuck this game's matchmaking and connection issues.

Either it's me on a team we someone under 20 and everyone leveled below me against a team higher than me with one 50.

Or when I do get matched with teammates my level it'll keep losing connection. If it gets to a match it'll drop a player.

Fuck this game.

 

[Danthrax]

So far this Splatfest: 1 win and 5 losses. So, it's pretty much Splatoon.

 

[Hello.]

What? Why isn't Hammerhead in there?

It was removed from the rotation a few days ago as a result of the exploit in Rainmaker.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

It was removed from the rotation a few days ago as a result of the exploit in Rainmaker.

I see. Disappointing; I would have liked to play Splatfest on it.

 

[MrGameBoy]

...and this Splatfest is off to a bad start: all three matches so far have been in-fighting. Did not enough players vote for car?

 

[ChrisD]

I see. Disappointing; I would have liked to play Splatfest on it.

Have they ever done the same stage twice in a row for Splatfest, though?

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Have they ever done the same stage twice in a row for Splatfest, though?

Wait.

What Splatfest was it in?

 

[ChrisD]

Wait.

What Splatfest was it in?

Art vs Science, just last month.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Art vs Science, just last month.

Oh, right.

For a second I thought I missed a Splatfest!

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Now the game can't connect to the internet. My plaza is in day time.

I've tried three with multiple restarts. First time this has ever happened.

Fuck this game.

5 times. Due to server maintenance.

 

[Javier]

I'm getting Server Maintenance notices. Seems Nintendo decided to fix these bad servers.

I don't mind if Splatfest gets postponed to get this shit sorted. The disconnections I was getting were ridiculous.

 

[tonyh24613]

It was removed from the rotation a few days ago as a result of the exploit in Rainmaker.

But it's in JP splatfest rotation.

 

[ChrisD]

But it's in JP splatfest rotation.

Only filthy Americans and Europeans abused the trick

I would be fine if they could delay the Splatfest to fine tune this issue. I couldn't get into a match at all today, and when I did, I was immediately disconnected.

 

[J@hranimo]

Hammerhead has been in every other rotation but Rainmaker. They didn't get rid of it completely like they did Triggerfish for its exploit.

 

[Triforce141]

...and this Splatfest is off to a bad start: all three matches so far have been in-fighting. Did not enough players vote for car?

You're telling me, over half of my matches have been nothing but Plane vs Plane so far.

Diddy Kong Racing Splatfest confirmed, it's a shame team hovercraft is going to get whooped hard.

 

[colinp]

I'm in Tokyo for a wedding and was hoping to pick up the Splatoon art book before I headed to the wedding but no luck at the book shops I went to. Might try tomorrow or just try one of my usual local shops on Monday. I'll be sure to take some pictures and share when I do!

 

[EulaCapra]

Thank god it's not just me affected by server maintenance.

I was just about to start Splatfest and Callie and Marie's update didn't start.

Edit: It's treating me like I'm offline. Spyke and all the stores are closed for business LMAO

 

[ChrisD]

Awwww, first loss. That's earlier than usual with first Splatfest teams. :/

 

[Iva Demilcol]

This is frustrating: I keep getting under level 15 players on my team against level 40+ players.

 

[Danthrax]

My Splatfest update: I just ranked up to Car Defender with a record of four wins and eight losses. Also just got my second Splatfest Tee powerup ... they've both been Damage Up -_-

 

[Zing]

I will be pleased if there truly are that many votes for planes. I am team car. The last splatfest, I had a few matches against my own team and it felt like a waste of time. I'd rather have the less popular team.

 

[Hello.]

Hammerhead has been in every other rotation but Rainmaker. They didn't get rid of it completely like they did Triggerfish for its exploit.

Right. It's removed from Rainmaker rotation. It's still there otherwise.

 

[EulaCapra]

That's weird. After fourth restart, finally got into Splatfest.

 

[J@hranimo]

Ok, so this maintenance right? It sucks.

Although I'm thinking it's because this is the first Splatfest done in both Japan and North America. I'm guessing this is a "test run" for a big Halloween splatfest.

In 3 weeks, the average time for another Splatfest, it's Halloween! So I think they were trying to make it work, but...it got borked lol. It also doesn't help that it's like 70/30 Planes to Cars ratio right now too

 

[Triforce141]

I want the Halloween splatfest to be Reese's vs Almond Joy. I don't like coconut, but white ink would be the obvious way on how to make a team instantly win.

 

[J@hranimo]

Haha I wouldn't care what the themes are, but black ink vs orange ink would be godlike lol.

Spoiler

I like both of those candies...

How did the white ink go down in Japan? Can't remember if they won or not.

Black vs Orange would be unbeatable, never again could a Splatfest stand up.



Eighteen games, six Planes v Planes

 

[MrGameBoy]

Also, correct me for misremembering, but what's up with Arowana Mall never being featured in the NA Splatfests? It's been an available map since launch, and I've yet to even see it...

 

[Magnet_Man]

I think the Christmas Red VS Green would be pretty amazing.

 

[ChrisD]

That's a good question. Everyone else has had it in a Fest. It sits in the pile along with other questions like, "what was the deal with Flounder Heights."

I faced a Level 50 wearing the Captain's Hat. Their name was "Cap'n Woomy". That hit my funny bone for some reason.

I think the Christmas Red VS Green would be pretty amazing.

Yeah, that would be equally as great.

 

[Geg]

Geez, those stages. Yeah I'm not gonna participate in this splatfest. Can't even choose a team anyway

 

[ChrisD]

Play as a Roller!

 

[Triforce141]

How did the white ink go down in Japan? Can't remember if they won or not.

Team Milk Tea dominated Lemon Tea, all across the board. Because Milk Tea is the better drink, and not because it was white ink.

 

[madp]

Welp, guess the fix is in for this Splatfest. A solid half of my matches have been 3v4s, with repeated connection errors just to find a match. Enjoy your win, Planes!

 

[Robotguy]

No, join the future Custom Jet Squelcher meta with Robotguy and I.

That's the old future meta, the new future meta is Custom Range Blaster.

 

[Danthrax]

There is a fucking level 2 on my team right now. A LEVEL TWO

My opponents include a 14, a 30, a 37 and a 40. FUCK


[edit] predictably, we lost

 

[Triforce141]

That's the old future meta, the new future meta is Custom Range Blaster.

That will all change when the Luna Blaster Neo strikes.

 

[Danthrax]

Alright, I'm done for the night. Just leveled up to Car Champion after going 10 wins and 18 losses. Truly infuriating session of Splatoon, as usual.






a fucking level two against a forty i mean come on

Shoot man, sorry for your luck. That level matching should never happen. :/


E: Disconnected from a player that I was with for three hours straight. Now I just get bad players. :,(

 

[CoconutTank]

Getting hard to find matches vs team Cars...

Seems like there aren't that any splatfesters in general

 

[Jeff Vader]

Well all the popular streamers bitch about splatfest being teh suck and people wanna be cool so they skip out on it. Personally I'm gonna play to hit max, after that what happens happens.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Who is [GAF] Typo?
