Made it up to Roller Coaster Champion with a single team before getting disconnected.
that shirt with 3 damage ups sounds good, how do I get you in my plaza though? :<
it's not about the skill, it's about the number of people that is on team eating. there are many more people there unless the mm is fucked up.
oh I thought this was the last one. oh wellYou get the last title after getting the 99 points
Got weird audio bug(?) while in the plaza. The music was absent, while the Squid Sisters vocals were still there (music came back after leaving the plaza and returning again).

Don't know why, but the lack of music made the atmosphere more soothing in a way. Really liked it.

I quit a game, joined another and got matched with a guy that I'd just been playing with a fair few times during my matches. There is definitely less Team Sleep than Team Eat.

I can't do this anymore. lol I swear team water slide is brain dead, they don't understand the concept of defending whatsoever. Got my Queen rank so that's it for me.

Most of my teammates lately are setting up camp at the base and letting the party come to them.
Early morning Team Water Slide was absolutely beastly. Midday Team Water Slide is making me fear that we're going to lose the skill test. :lol
That's what makes Splatfest boring, no competition. I only do it to get the snails.

I caught the end morning side, but only for a few matches. Curse me for having stuff to do.
What?
It's like we're playing completely different games in completely different worlds

Have to agree with this, morning waterslide was just steamrollling.
Competition got tougher around 1PM EST.
I literally had the worst teammates ever... none of them tried to come to the top and help me, and when I looked at what my teammates were doing in the bottom, 2 of my teammates were painting the ground while the enemy Sprinkler on top of the box just painted over what they just did. This happened for a good 20 seconds before the enemy came down and ended them. Just how dumb do you have to be to let a sprinkler out paint you?

Good god what happened to our water?! Did we evaporate?

OK, Water Slide King title acquired. I'm done for today. You would think Splatfest couldn't possibly be more aggravating than normal randoms, but somehow the matchmaking manages to do it.
All day long, I was getting teammates who:
- Prioritized the south area of Saltspray above all else, even though all 4 enemies were attempting to take the north from me
- Couldn't manage to hold one side of Bluefin between the three of them while I held the other side alone
- Filed like lemmings down the Port hallways while snipers and inkzookas picked them off multiples at a time
Now, I don't really blame the players for this, for the most part. I blame being matched with largely sub-15 players who have far less experience than I do (and I don't even consider myself that good).
Anyway, I won probably 20% of my games. Never even managed to reach SO HAWT! status, because I hit a losing streak every time I got to 6.0. Looking forward to the return to normal battle modes tomorrow.

Spend a good 20-30 seconds putting up beacons on Saltspray Rig, teammate decides to spawn on me as I'm in a heated battle, I die, which leads to his death.
Why? Could've been so much easier if you just used the beacon I carefully hid.
Always I had a mindblown.gif moment on Saltspray. At the top of the map there is a moving crane that you can jump onto which can lead to crates otherwise not accessible. Had no idea this whole time. More beacon spots for my teammates to not use.

While some of my teammates today were among the worst I've ever seen, there was one team that was easily the best one I had since I started playing
After a while, we started using an actual strategy to play lol
We advanced in 2 2-person teams, slowy and without allowing the other team to reclaim important parts of the map (and since I had echolocator, it was almost always very easy to take them down lol)
We got a 11 win streak, most of them with 75%+, until the entire room gets an comm error
I love you, fellow strangers <3

I really, really cannot comprehend how almost everyone seems to reach level 20 without having a clue how to actually play these two maps. Like, do they not comprehend the concept of size? The north of Saltspray is much bigger, therefore more important. As for Bluefin, man, for some reason you'll always get 7 players fighting over one side of the map for 2 mins while one lone guy had the entire other side to himself.
Pssh, nobody uses beacons. I straight up switched back off the Octobrush because everyone would prefer to spawn on me and then die immediately than use the 3 safe beacons in the area.
You can just ink the crates and climb up.
I just came on to say a very similar story that I got incredibly lucky and put with a great crew for team sleep. We were just, phenomenol. Easily the best games I've had since I bought the game. We won 12 in a row, then I noticed two of them left so of course I had to leave as well.
I hope we did Team Sleep proud.
Now I'm going to sleep. Night all.

I personally like starting my rig matches going south if only to pull an enemy with me while the rest of the team goes north and after they're splatted then I'll rejoin the rest. Other than that it's only good as a last second rush for turf.

Put a sprinkler on the crane for maximum painting.
Wait really? I'm pretty sure everything the crane leads to is accessible normally
we've got to play a game, then I should appear on your plaza
the video quality is good. Have you considered using the Splat Charger? You might find the splat bombs more useful than the sprinkler
the other problem is that you just play with and against randoms all day long, on the same three maps, and always Turf War. And of course the matchmaking is wacky, throwing players with vastly different skill levels in the same lobby is just not going to make anyone happy
This was my thought process. I emerged from the crucible, Octobrush in hand, a stronger player. Also had one fucking great team. 3 level 20s and a level 8 took on the heretical vomit enablers, and purified a small part of Booyeah Base.

I just had three 3 vs 4 matches in a row (and another one a bit earlier).

I've had a lot of Eating vs. Eating battles. Though it seems to be more balanced than the previous Rock vs. Pop joke.

When I first played today I managed to find a team where everyone felt in synch and did really well in until I got a communication error.
Ever since then, it feels like I've been bouncing between teams that I've been having trouble synchronizing with. The constant 3 vs. 4 matches haven't been helping, either. =/
