That's what's worrying me about Splatfests... If one side is significantly more popular than the other, it's going to be difficult to get full rooms. I really hope that doesn't happen with ours...

Rice vs Bread in Japan was a bad idea lol

 

[Crayolan]

Ugh why is splatzone the worst game mode of all time?!

It's the best mode of all time when you're winning.

 

[Zero²]

I remember when losing in this game was fun. Just getting a even mix of wins and losses is still really fun

Losing every match for an hour straight because of horribly unbalanced teams is not fun

That happened with me sooner today, but I used the time to train a new weapon and before I knew I was So Hawt~
Just cool down, change your setting and go get them!
Btw is the 3K Liter useless? That charge time is monstrous, I gave up and went back to my splatterscope.

........... Only if winning. I'm stuck in c40 hell

Don't know what will happen next time if every one want to be the minor team. lol

 

[Xeteh]

The music playing during the match is awesome!

I wanted Marie to be cat as well

might have to be dog

 

[Geg]

Oh wow Callie and Marie sing the usual one minute left song

It's really good

Japan hates Bread lol

Yep, I remember my school here in Japan doing a survey on whether kids eat rice or bread for breakfast. It was like a 60/40 split in favour of rice. Meanwhile, it seemed like a 95/5 split on Splatoon last night trying to find a match. Ugh.

I would pick what I know is less popular

 

[tonyh24613]

I'm almost level 20 but I still have one question, do trees and bushes count?

 

[foxuzamaki]

I didn't think rice vs bread would be so one-sided in japan, I mean japan really loves its bread too but I guess its not rice tier.

 

[Xeteh]

I picked dogs because they are clearly better but I also feel like cats will be picked more.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

you can see what counts by looking at your points upper right corner

nope

 

[Vena]

Don't know what will happen next time if every one want to be the minor team. lol

They need to show a general "bar" for populations of either side, so that people can see when one side gets over-filled, lol.

 

[timetokill]

:lol I feel like asking Rice vs. Bread in Japan is like asking if you're Japanese or not.

They'll have to be more careful about their options in the future.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I picked dogs because they are clearly better but I also feel like cats will be picked more.

I'll have to stick with everything Marie picks
she seems to be the underdog chooser

 

[Xeteh]

I'm almost level 20 but I still have one question, do trees and bushes count?

If you're ever unsure about what might count or not... stand right next to it and shoot it while watching your score. If your score is going up (and be mindful that ink drops to the ground the entire range of the gun) then it counts.

But rice is so wet and sticky and stuff while bread can be used to make so many delicious treats

How can the Japanese people be so far in the wrong

great idea should fix things

hopefully

 

[foxuzamaki]

I think overall, atleast in america, dogs are more popular than cats, and I personally will be picking dogs even if calie is team cats, but who knows with the splatoon population, theres who knows how many people who own splatoon but majority of those could all be dog lovers or cat lovers.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want to see them dance in the Plaza but he is not going there

I've been doing well with it. You kind of have to learn how to use the Burst Bombs that come with it.

 

[Kastrioti]

Honestly the game has started to not become fun if I'm not playing with Gaffers. At least with Gaffers I'm playing with Level 10-20 people who somewhat know what they're doing and the matches are always tense, fun and close.

When the GAF rooms are full and I go to random servers with Level 5-10s I'll just dominate to the point it's not fun.

I played with Blue Silver earlier tonight in one of those servers where we were the only Level 20s and pretty much no one else knew what they were doing. When me and Silver were on the same team, which was 90% of the time, we'd win by 75%-80% every single match.

Matchmaking with friends Nintendo, get on it ASAP, or I'm going to go back to Mario Kart 8 and start playing Super Smash Bros.

 

[Guru-Guru]

I should have. Dumb of me to pick rice. I deserved it though--I thought that Splatfest would be global, and since the Japanese players I have played with are way better than the average NA/EU player, I went with rice.

With almost full rooms it's to the point where the team with more randos is likely to lose, they're almost always the lowest scores.

 

[GWX]

This is true. Still, it's fun when the team with most randoms actually win. Japanese randoms can be quite good!

No shit?! I honestly had no idea. I knew Nintendo was going to unload new maps, higher levels, new weapons but not match making. Great news.

Does anyone remember the Everybody Votes Channel on the original Wii? They had a Dogs vs Cats poll

Spoiler

Dogs won

 

[Guru-Guru]

I have failed to find a match 3 times in a row in Splatfest. It's 4pm in Japan, this sucks. How many hours until this Splatfest crap finishes?

 

[Geg]

I just tried out the Splattershot Pro, I think I found my new weapon.

I miss Echolocator though

 

[Vanillalite]

Need Nintendo to do an official OST release!

 

[Diffense]

When you spend the whole match at the splat zones, get 20 kills, only die 5 times and still lose the match...

If only my teammates didn't die from a stare.

Obviously I turned off the game after that disaster.

Japanese players where are yoooouuuu....

 

[Sakura]

I didn't think rice vs bread would be so one-sided in japan, I mean japan really loves its bread too but I guess its not rice tier.

I imagine a lot of people choosing the team they think would win vs what they actually eat for breakfast.

Splatfes for 1 more hour.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Just got knocked out on ranked because some cretin decided to go AFK. Wonderful.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Omg, I just had the best game of splatoon ive ever had.
Alright so in the beginning one teamate of ours disconnected and I watched it happened, i was going "fuck" because thats basically a guaranteed loss, but I pushed forward, racking up all kinds of kills and covering all kinds of ground, until somehow we got the upperhand and rocked house and then we actually won, somehow, it was amazing.

 

[timetokill]

I decided to call it a night when I went into Ranked, was winning with 33-74 and then suddenly got disconnected.

It's the fucking worst.

 

[iBlue]

Level 19 and more one more to go

 

[Mistle]

Added my NNID to the spreadsheet. Happy to add anyone, I'm based in Australia so even better if our timezones match up.

I'm no pro, but I think it'd be fun to try out the ad hoc gaf rooms.

 

[timetokill]

See, this is the kind of thing that kills me XD

I have easily the top pre-bonus score. What were lewis and mario doing?!!



Also, here was one of my better matches with GAF:

Still having trouble getting used to that gun after rolling with the Gal's.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Another loss in ranked because of one team member standing idle at spawn. Profoundly irritating.

 

[Sakura]

I know what you mean. I had a pretty bad losing streak and stopped playing.
I mean, if I have 1000 points with no bonus, and 10 kills, why are we losing? What are my other guys doing all game? One guy was 0 and 8. Like come on.
Sometimes it's frustrating because I manage to take down 2 or 3 guys, then die, but I'm thinking, well I cleared most of them out, while I'm waiting to respawn my guys should be able to take hold. Nope.

 

[Geg]

Oh god I keep immediately activating my special thinking it's Echolocator and forgetting it's Inkstrike

Doing that in the middle of a firefight means I'm dead

 

[Geg]

Man earlier today in Kelp Dome I was playing one of my best games of the day, splattin dudes left and right when I noticed the DANGER thing was going off on our side. Then I looked and saw two of my guys disconnected.

I ended up going like 7-0 in a lopsided 2 vs 4 match. We still lost obviously

edit: Sorry double post

 

[mo60]

I think I may have encountered a weird lobby glitch in splatoon. For some reason the match would not start when the lobby was full and it kicked me and most likely everyone else in the lobby waiting for the match to start out of the lobby once the counter reached. I really don't know what caused this.

I really hate matches were I get teammates that only score anywere between 100p-400p while I score 600p+.Those matches are usually instant losses for the team I am on.
