Turns out both popularity and wins are relevant, not just one or the other! Despite the salty Cat lover complaints

Coasted to victory.
By some miracle, I actually got my Super Sea Snails this time without the game bugging out.

You should go buy it back, it might help your connection!
The only issue last time was because people didn't log in until the next splatfest was announced after playing the last splatfest.
To be fair, however, depending on the split in popularity, it can make a comeback really difficult by the minority team. Like, in the Rock/Pop contest, Pop had to make up a 28 point disadvantage.
Since all of the win ratios have been fluctuating between 55-45 and closer, making up that 28 points is still somewhat difficult in some situations. Team Cat obviously had it a little better than Team Pop mathematically, but it's still tough in any split bigger than 60-40. The small split in this contest seemed to be in that perfect area of the matches being important still, but popularity still giving a tiny, teensy edge.

I don't see why not...

Well, of course. If your team loses 60-40 it's gonna be pretty hard to win as well.
It's a measurement of both popularity and wins. Popularity counts for something, too.
Complaining that it should just be wins is really misguided imo.

Wow.. just about a full GAF room
Spray ink on the floor and the opponents. You're on your way to A rank.
I want that hat!Apparently they have a 4v4 setup at Evo where the winning team gets Splatoon swag.
Good to see they're promoting it to the competitive crowd at least.
Yeah. I recall feeling that way at first when Team Cat lost, but ended up coming around and blaming the polling instead. It's going to be a tough thing for Nintendo to manage because they don't know how everyone's going to vote. But they need to avoid situations where the numbers make the final results a statistical foregone conclusion. The math makes balancing this event a chore.
They could tweak it by going x3 wins, but eventually they'll push so far in that direction that the popularity doesn't matter. They should keep it the same and just be super careful in what poll they wanna do.

Anyone kinda thinking it's weird that the Splatfest photos for the teams in NA/EU are cartoonish looking, while the Japanese ones are actual photos for the team?
Team Origini vs Team Sushi for next Japanese Splatfest pls

Unfortunately not anything too good.
2 damage up with the stealth swim shoes
And 2 inkling speed up with an opening gambit hat , so that seems to be the best I got.
At least spyke did a good job on an order and I got a bicycle hat with 2 ink recovery subs and one empty slot.

Oh wow, thought RC would be more popular since water slides aren't everywhere.
I like coasters, I just picked slides cause I'm #teammarie.
Bikinis and trunks.

Lost again. Ugh. Cmon Waterslides.
If only I played for 1 more hour, I could have turned the tides...

Damn right I'm scared of them. Hell I was afraid of tall waterslides until my early teens. Marie's views have happened to match mine twice now, which works out for me.

Hate both and picked coasters for some reason
I'd rather stand in line in the heat of the sun, and get cooled down at the end by chlorinated water over vomit particles from a fellow roller coaster rider.

Hey! I got one of those hats from taking part at one of the mini-tournaments at the Comic Con Nintendo Lounge last week.Apparently they have a 4v4 setup at Evo where the winning team gets Splatoon swag.
Good to see they're promoting it to the competitive crowd at least.
And the t-shirt from Wondercon for trying the demo.

TEAM SLIDE CAN GO SUCK IT
Coaster wait lines are usually covered or indoors. And the best coasters are better at night.
