Mayo winning everything is unsurprising. Ketchup team was soooo bad in solos :P

Congrats Mayonnaise!

....the only thing that annoys me now is that we can only add slots and reroll abilities with sea snails now. That's so lame >_>

Maybe he'll let you do it with money if you have no snails left. Then again considering rerolling is scrubbing plus instant max level on gear, I doubt it
 
I had maybe 5 matches against Mayo teams that whole time I worked up to Queen level. It's weird to consider the numbers. With it being so lopsided in popularity, mayo would have many many many more opportunities to win against ketchup.

And it wasn't that huge a difference in wins regardless. Interesting things to think about. Oh well.
 
Bullllllllllshit.

Like I said, I KNEW mayo's team was strongerm their teams always dominated my ketchup teams.

But I can't believe they won with such a low number.
 
Just deleted the game from my Switch.

It's an Overwatch thing. You don't suck!
 
I'm actually mad holy crap.*

Everytime I played I rarely got a good team. And when I did, we'd be fighting other ketchup guys.

It's clear Mayo had the better players and I can accept that. Great job guys.


Goona go see if I can sleep off this salty taste in my mouth.
*I'm not actually mad.
 
I just had a ranked match where one of my teammates couldn't figure out where to take the rainmaker. The really frustrating thing is he always was the first to get it and he NEVER WENT THE CORRECT WAY
 
fuck it im just going to go for the unpopular choice every time for 3 extra snails lol

gonna have to swallow my pride for the next 2 years
I guess following the heart and fighting for what you believe in is all fluff in the end.

Ah well, the super sea snail gap is smaller than the first game.
 
Ketchup won the popularity vote by a massive margin, so we all know Mayo is still jizzy trash that only the uncouth put on their food.
 
Not a fan of splatfests this time around. I was stuck playing ketchup vs ketchup matches almost every single time, so even though I won a ton I didn't contribute to team ketchup at all. And losing by the coinflip 51/49 winrate is a real kick in the teeth.

Would it be more interesting for them to use different metrics of comparison? Like..
Popularity %
Opponents Splatted %
Total Turf Inked %
 
The only times I remember the most popular team winning in the first game were the first one (Dogs vs Cats) and the last one (Callie vs Marie).

The first one was BS because team Cat won more matches but once they took into account the popularity percent, they kind of just added both scores and team cat suffered for it.

In the last one all regions played together and thanks to Japan, the superior Squid Sister won.

In the end, Team Callie and Team Marie were punished when they took Callie and Marie out of the News segment and the Splatfests. =(










And now the good News... I won my first Splatfest!!! I remember it took me until Pokémon Blue vs Pokémon Red to win my first Splatfest. It seems this time it doesn't matter that much though. There's only three super sea snails of difference compared to last time.
 
I love how unpopular Pearl is

. I never really cared about the Callie/Marie rivalry, but I'm eternally here for the hated gremlin queen now <3

The percents don't matter beyond which one took each category, guys. Winning popularity meant Ketchup just had to win solo or teams.

And we couldn't by such a measly percentage. Sigh. We would've won easily if this were Splatoon 1..

Ah well. Y'all did well, mayo, even if I did hit a 2140 power with a positive record I can't remember anymore. Maybe if I played in teams longer... Either way, GG's.
 
This game is awesome but can be so frustrating... Almost always end up top of my team and aaaaalways losing... Im ready to call it quits 30 hours in
 
Well I wound up being wrong with part of my prediction (I thought Ketchup would win in teams), but it happens to work out in my favor in the end so heyo for mayo I guess!

It was slightly less excruciating than some of the prior splatfests despite never managing to really get a good Mayo team going in the midday (literally we had three rounds all against the same other Mayo team, however the hell that worked, and no Ketchumps). Still, even flying solo I've had much worse in the past. Thanks for the snails, now if only I knew what gear I wanted to use any of them on.
 
Since Mayo has much less players, doesn't that mean they have to get much less wins for their win percentage to be good considering Ketchup would have more matches? Or am I an idiot?
 
Wait, people are legit pissed and not just "LOL, funny sarcasm" pissed?
People are legit furious right now. Some blaming Nintendo's internet, some blaming Nintendo's matchmaking not counting Ketchup vs Ketchup wins, and some blaming Nintendo (again) for skewed results.

It's all Nintendo's fault.

Seriously guys I wouldn't be throwing this much of a fit online if we had lost.
