Nintendo does need to work on getting Splatfest themes that will produce a more even popularity spread. Mayo vs. Ketchup made sense in Japan and Europe, but popularity in NA being heavily skewed toward Ketchup should have been obvious lol
(That said I'm really surprised there was such a big popularity difference between cake & ice cream last time too. I'm team ice cream too but damn, I didn't expect that many people to prefer it to cake)

I'm very positive that a big chunk of that ketchup tally is all because of Marina's popularity. Heck i would have been in there too had I not had any self-respect and honor.
Unless you also factor in burnout. IE Ketchupdude22 lost all his ketchup vs ketchup battles despite trying his hardest and got tilted and so he couldn't contribute as well in his mayo matches.
They're both children, but I guess that doesn't matter for this fanbase (or any fanbase).

I don't understand Marina's name though
The Splatfest was just Mayo vs Ketchup. You cannot win anything when the other team is not participating. If that were the case then Mayo would've been doomed from the very beginning.
Look at it this way: 1 out of 4 teams were Mayo (25%) and the other three were Ketchup (75%). So for every Mayo vs Ketchup match you'd had a Ketchup vs Ketchup match. If you counted Ketchup vs Ketchup results then even if Mayo won the result would be null because Ketchup also won and if Mayo loses then Ketchup wins 2 matches. The only fair case is to only count Mayo vs Ketchup matches.
Hime is a type of small squid.
It's also a play on "hime" meaning "princess" ergo her crown.
Marina is called Iida in Japanese, which is based on iidako, which is a type of octopus.

Your fondness of ketchup is shared with one of the most hated men in the world.
I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with dump. And that's where your ketchup belongs.

Sorry for all the noob questions but is it important to wear all the same branded gear? Should I just choose what looks cool? Is there some brand bonus I'm unaware of?
I've got a Tentatek gun thingy I'm fond of but do I get something if I wear all Tentatek stuff?

Austrailia was part of North America this time.
You could throw a quarter in the audience at the Oscars and you'd be hard pressed to not hit an American that is fond of ketchup.
Mayo is the only condiment that looks and feels like a sexual fluid.

No brand bonuses, this isn't TWEWY (would be cool though).
Besides the look, each brand has an ability that it has a higher chance of getting when it levels up. you can see all of the brands and their matching abilities at the food truck.
For example, Tentatek's brand has a higher chance to give Ink Recovery Up on their items.

Probably explains why the US is where it's at right now.

Well, now that's a specific edge case, isn't it? And suppose a mayo player goes on a losing streak; not only did all of those matches likely count, that player is now also tilted. It evens out. There is no distinct match advantage for the unpopular side outside of the normal matchmaking shenanigans (damn dual charger teams...).

Pearl has eyes of a demon. Its gonna take alot for me to like something she does.
I'm not actually salty about losing.
I'm not actually deleting Splatoon 2.
Mostly joking... mostly.
But I DID go on a thing about how Team Mayoooo is doomed.
That IS embarrassing as heck.
I thought Pearl was the same age as the Inkling's, while Pearl is around 17-18?
But, yeah. People are weird, and I otherwise don't have an issue with Pearl.
If condiments determine states of countries where you're from, I'm good where I'm at.
There's no brand bonus for wearing all of the same brand of gear, the only difference between brands besides how they look is that each brand has a specific ability that it's more likely to roll when unlocking a new slot.
The brand of a piece of gear will subtly influence the odds of particular gear abilities being rolled onto it via level-up. That's all any of that really does. Branded weapons don't factor into that at all, it's just collaborations they use to denote "variant" weapons with the same stats but a different sub/special kit. A la the Splattershot and the Tentatek Splattershot.

People actually think ketchup vs ketchup games should count?
Only Mayo vs Ketchup games count obviously. Mayo doesn't need to get to get 'less win' because it had a smaller popular vote. If 1000 games of ketchup vs mayo were played, then mayo needs to win 501 of those games to beat ketchup

I know, I just think it's funny how these names sound so regal or beautiful, but in English fandom she's just like a little memelord.
Now that I think about it though, Pearl is also a similarly regal name...

Alright my team won. Granted I like Ketchup more than Mayo but the lewdness factor of Mayo plus a couple of friends choosing that sealed the deal for me.
Great official first Splatfest ya'll.

Man I don't know. He would eat EVERYTHING with ketchup. That was just the weirdest mix. Haven't seen him since we were kids though. Maybe he stopped. But that experience makes me feel like Americans' love for ketchup is rather tame even if I don't share it.
