Wow, just reading through the last couple pages have confirmed the fears I had, based on my own Splatfest session... Team Invisibility got mopped up!

I must have lost early 80% of my matches up to Invisibility Champion rank. I was only able to play in handheld mode up to that point, but still; there was almost always a clear skill-level gulf between our team and theirs.

Once I was able to play in TV mode with my pro controller, that win percentage was inverted, but still, Team flight was amlost always putting up a good fight. Even after reaching invisibility Queen, I continued playing - for a couple hours or so -to make up for my prior losses. Last I checked, it was exactly 25/25(wins/losses). I think I ended it there.

This was my toughest Splatfest yet(including those from Splatoon 1). Good job team Flight! I'm sure you wrecked us...

And fuck teams with two or more inkjet spamming fuckers too

Can't fucking wait to pay real money for this.

I don't understand, I have a completely different feeling (easiest Splatfest for me including S1), reached Queen with 23:17 because of an awful start (till I reached ~1750), and my last 15 were 14:1.

I haven't felt, from the talks here, that the match was that one-sided either?

Bless region based matchmaking

Well, there's already plently of lag and issues with local, I wonder how it would go without the restrictions on ping.

Fuck moray towers

I love them in rank, but I can understand why people don't like them in turf wars (though I still enjoy them there)

 

[BGBW]

I forgot to scrap my shirt! Ugh.

While it will cost you more, you should scrap it every time you unlock the first ability. You earn gold so easily anyway you'll still make a profit at the end.

This only applies to the fest shirt. With regular items you're better off grinding all three slots before wiping it.

My first Splatfest and I must confess it works very well, better than expected : the festival setting, the "choose your side"...it creates a really compelling experience. I only had one connection problem, it went smooth most of the time. I am on team Flight and had quite a few loss and quite a few win (a bit more loss than win). I was expecting a much "hardcore" and frustrating experience for a newbie like me but the game is surprisingly fun even for a beginner. After 40 years of gaming, I have also discovered the competitor inside me with this game lol

I normally hate competitive games Splatoon is the only competitive game i really enjoy and where i can be good at lol.

But seriously Splatfests are one of the best multiplayer experiences ever it works so well and i can see why Japan finally loves a Shooter game like crazy games oozes crazy charm and the characters are very likeable especially the idols.

That and those awesome meme/community posts make Splatoon for me the GOAT multiplayer game.

These and some of the other reasons i like Splatoon and cuz the games helped me through a depressive and stressfull period i my life with my father getting ill is why i am getting Squid Sisters and a Marina tattoo (squid sisters on back and marina on calf).

One of the only games to really draw me into it like crazy.

They need to fucking fix the Sloshing Machine in Salmon Run, it's clearly bugged so you can't res people for shit with it. Second time I've had a wipe because of that.

 

[Kudo]

2 Flight EU people up for team?
Hit me up with FC so we can maybe quickly get some wins under our belt.

 

[13ruce]

Currently Champion with 14 points out of 99 will i make it in 2 hours and 50 mins before eu Splatfest ends, for the final rank?

 

[Koren]

Salmon run during Splatfest is really efficient... I guess good players are kings/queens and done with turf wars...

Maybe youvshould really try another game

Yes... Unless you really lose all matches and matchmaking is really slow.

 

[Hot Coldman]

This is my first Splatfest. It's fun! Is there any way of knowing who's in the lead?

No... Ther results won't even be available right at the end...

 

[HackTheSlash]

I crushed team invisible last night. I went 33-17 in my last 50.

I guess you could say, They didnt show up.

Yeaaahhhhhhhh!

#TeamFLIGHT!

P.S. I really enjoyed the changes in Shifty Station this time around. Was fun to play on.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Anyone here living in Japan on #TeamFries?

How useful is Ninja Squid? I mean I can barely find players in ink when they don't have it...

I think it's the best ability, but that's a matter of play style.

Its efficiency depends on color, though.

I easily spot squids but a ninja gave me hard time couple of nights ago. So I'd say it was very useful for them ; )

Nobody won. Going back to bed.

16 eggs requirement in a griller wave? What kind of joke is it?

(Though we managed to kill the 6th, but the 7th was denying us access to the basket. It was close, so it's doable... Still, that must be the hardest task I've seen in SR)

 

[Diprosalic]

I got communocation error in 5 out of my 7 games so far.

Now imagine it could have been just two of you, as in my last SR.. : /

Ah, figures. Thanks.

 

[Koren]

Well, if you're two, the requirement would be lower... I've yet to do SR with two disconnections, but if you can avoid wipes, it's easier with 3 than with 4...

 

[NSESN]

My internet was bad yesterday and missed splatfest. Do I still get something?

 

[13ruce]

Made it to Invisibility Queen (i'm a guy tho lol) finally well that was some fun another fanfuckingtastic Splatfest time for a Small Break and then do a final couple of Splatfest games and then do Salmon Run for a while.

And after that play some more of Splatoon 1 for dat level 50 goal before Miiverse dies.

 

[Regiruler]

Is that an official tumblr? Is there such a thing as an official tumblr?

Were you not around during Splatoon 1?

 

[Phife Dawg]

Where can I pick up SR rewards during a splat fest? Back alley is closed.

 

[Zafir]

Bah didnt realise the splatfest was on this weekend. So I'll probably only get to the second rank, lol.

Edit: Well I managed to do 3 matches before the end. Won all three for team flight and got to the second rank so that's something.

 

[random25]

The counter on the left side of SR entrance is where you redeem the rewards.

 

[Phife Dawg]

The counter on the left side of SR entrance is where you redeem the rewards.

It's closed during splat fest, I just used the menu to enter.

 

[PadWarrior]

Almost 300 wins

 

[Regiruler]

I'm sad that I can barely get a response in the ARMS ot.

Almost 300 wins

But you're still not at superfresh yet?

It's closed during splat fest, I just used the menu to enter.

What menu to enter? You can get rewards without using the stall?

 

[AlexFlame116]

When do we get the results?

I've hit super fresh multiple times. Had loses due to my teammates disconnecting.

Ah didn't realize who I was responding to need to update my ignore list.

 

[blu]

Heads-up: white inky rider with main ink saver and 3 subs on splatNet ATM.

 

[13ruce]

Honestly Splatfests should last 2 days or the full weekend. That's my only problem with em tbh.

 

[pringles]

Made it to Champion on the last game before the splatfest ended. Yay! But given how my Invisibility teammates played I'm expecting a big loss.

 

[correojon]

Got 32-12 for team inv, it was pretty one sided for all the Splatfest except for a 5-lose streak I had yesterday. Also, I got almost immediate matches during all the Splatfest and didn´t have to fight another Invisibility team not even once, so I´m guessing popularity vote will go to Flight, but I hope Inv steamrolls on wins. I´m EU.

 

[Irminsul]

When do we get the results?

During the next map change, i.e., at 1800 CEST / 1700 BST / 1900 EEST / 12 PM EDT / 9 AM PDT.

 

[Koren]

Have you chosen a side?

It's closed during splat fest

It's definitively not? I've played Salmon Run during the Splatfest today... both entering the hall and going to the counter. But it sure is a dark place during splatfest

 

[Koren]

What menu to enter? You can get rewards without using the stall?

The X menu in the plazza or in halls I'd guess... It allows you to go to shops, main hall, SR hall. But I didn't know you could access the counter this way? (one of the annoying things is that you can claim rewards or scrub you gear without walking half the plazza, unless I'm mistaken, so I'm interested)

 

[AlexFlame116]

During the next map change, i.e., at 1800 CEST / 1700 BST / 1900 EEST / 12 PM EDT / 9 AM PDT.

So in about 35 minutes!

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Only had time to get to Champion. Loved the look of the ink though. Hopefully have enough time to get to Queen/King next time as sea snails are so useful. Wish we could add slots with coins.

 

[AlexFlame116]

You dropped the ball hard invisibility.

 

[yuoke]

Woo team flight! I knew it with how many people said they were dominating. Surprised Invisibility won popularity slightly.

 

[t hicks]

Team flight baybeeee

 

[KingBroly]

I call BS on 51-49 popularity.
