EDIT: Man that was a tough fest! But I destroyed my competition in these last hours so I feel good!

Man I love teammates who spend the first minute on Starfish Mainstage painting their own base even though that's literally the worst conceivable strategy. It's just really great when I'm trying to hold the center by myself and as soon as I die the match is literally over.
I just ragequit then and there. Fuck this awful stage.

After the Splatfest ended, I entered the lobby and exited to 'refresh' the plaza. The posts came back, although I don't recognize any that were during the Splatfest.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see a ketchup popularity win but mayo win the two match win percentage categories.
At least, I know I was a detriment to the ketchup teams I played on lol
Ragequitting is far worse than using the "wrong" strategy could ever be.

So after about 6 hours or so playing with them...
Muck Warfare>Acid Hues>Ebb and Flow
This is solely based on how they sound in game. Listened to them before the Splatfests and was surprised at how well Muck Warfare works in the 2 minute context. The ranking is different based on the songs alone (Ebb and Flow is amazing), but in game some work better than others.
I don't think any of them touch Ink Me Up from the first game, but that's more Nintendo absolutely nailing it in the first game than these songs being bad. They're all great, release the CD already Nintendo!

. Have high hopes for something similar when they do their major Splatfests in 2.

Calamari Inkantation (final boss song from 1) used during the last day of the Callie vs Marie Splatfest, but that's unfair
Oh, I see. Weird that it unloads them temporarily.
MUCH better tonight than last night playing. Won a lot and won almost all of the matches against Mayo. Got to Ketchup King as well.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my performance and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I ever got max rank in a Splatfest, don't think I ever did in the original game.

No you fool! Now my original post is engraved in GAF's internet history with no way of going to options and deleting it!

Rage-quitting automatically makes you the worst type of player in the game by a huge margin.
Ink me up will never be topped, one of the catchiest songs ever for a nintendo game.
please do not do that
You're acting like ragequitting on Starfish Mainstage makes any difference at all in the outcome. If they didn't want this to happen, they shouldn't have designed a stage which incentivizes ragequitting by making it virtually impossible to stage a comeback.

Japan got the result 2 hours after splatfest end, you can check the app, it's faster than off the hook.

No gonna find many like-minded people here. Rage Quitting is the worst, my man, especially in this game.

My last round was literally a comeback in that stage. Yes during the round itself.
Branduil you need to take a good break from the game. It'll do wonders for you!
I've said this before, but after this splatfest I've more than doubled my time with the game and I'm more convinced than ever that the stages in the game so far are weaksauce. I think Moray Towers and Port Mackerel are BY FAR my favorites of the 8 stages and that's...uh....not a great thing when they're the two vet stages. For the most part the new stages are very verrrrrrrry same-y, giant squares, minimal verticality, etc.
I really hope they step it up, that ship stage that's been teased does look cool. And bring some of the game 1 stages back in updates too

Is there a specific time frame for the results? I have to drive home but I don't want to miss out.

Is this the community consensus?? I can't agree. I never have problems making comebacks on this stage.

The thing I really like about playing splatoon is that I don't get uoset with it. Win or lose I always have fun and really dont get bothered compared to when I lose at any sports game really.
Played some matches earlier and really enjoyed it. Never got a chance to play the test splats, so this was my first taste overall of #2

Splatfest match wins: 3 out of 12 matches. Not sure how many were ketchup vs ketchup.
Non-splatfest wins (last 12): 8 out of 12.
Well at least I can go back to standing a chance.

Streak isn't exactly the right word, as I don't believe it resets when you lose, only subtracts points.
EDIT: see below post

Freshness bonus, you get a pretty good xp bonus when you rank up a weapon (like 4500 for Fresh I think?)
It goes from Dry (lose .5 points for a loss) to Raw (5 points needed, lose 1 point per loss) to Fresh (10 points needed, lose 1.5 per loss) to Super Fresh at 15 points.

I played terribly for most of the splatfest. Something about both condiments was enraging, compounded with ketchup on ketchup massacres. I am a ketchup king, yet sit on an empty throne of shame and bad teamplay (from myself and others).
Highest i have so far is 20 on the NZap.

It's funny how the Inkling Girls in the game have big sway in their figure when I click on them to "Fresh" their posts.
I feel like they're gonna fall!

When do we find out the results??
I had a surprisingly bad time during the splatfest when it came to actually winning matches. I manged a net positive in wins by the end, but man, I went on some downright absurd losing streaks. Hopefully next time goes better.

Half a level and I never have to play turf war again
True true, more accurate to describe it as a win loss ratio or even more accurately as RecRoulette described it lol
At least 90% of the time the team that wins the center in the first minute wins the stage. And I can tell you right now we were not going to be the 10%.

Starfish Mainstage is my favorite Splatoon 2 stage...followed by The Reef
But the matches are only 3 minutes...why would you quit, when it would take just as long to finish out the match.

Lol this is so untrue. My games go back and forth on that stage.
Post your screenshots in the official screenshots thread: http://neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1411335&page=1AGITΩ;245507839 said:
I wonder if it's possible that your strategy isn't the one and only strategy that works?
I often find in playing with randoms that if I don't paint the spawn and our side at some point early on, nobody ends up doing it and we just have unpainted spots at the end.
Also, seeing as how this is a game I play for fun, and it's unranked turf wars...it's just not worth getting upset about losing. You may want to re-evaluate why you are still playing this game if it makes you so angry that you need to rage quit.
