Dogs couldn't play dogs.
Finally got to Cat King. Never been so frustrated with the game then I have been today. How the hell do you make it to level 20 without picking up some skill in how to play these maps and how to interact with others so you can win!? Ugh. I don't mind losing in general but I don't like losing because there are three people in one small section of the map.

Kinda of ready for Splatfest to be over already.
1. Not being able to play with friends is just dumb.
2. Turf War is fun but I don't like not having the choice to play the other modes. I don't want to play Turf War all weekend.
3. The maps. Rotate them for the love of God. (Have they? I may have missed it if they did.)
4. Matching making issues. I understand people are split into two sides, but stop putting me on teams of just 3 against 4. That's not fun.
On the plus side the music is super cool. And not playing against laggy ass Japanese players is pretty great.

The wait times for the more popular team were absurd from what I've heard.
Yeah I've always liked the silver one better than the gold variant. Silver for kills, Gold for inking. Plus I'm impatient with those mines lol, they don't fit my playstyle with this game.
Yikes. I will gladly take this splatfest over that catastrophe.
Agreed on all points, including the music. Not being able to play with friends sucks of course but the fact that they kept the same 3 maps all day was ridiculous.
Matchmaking can't come soon enough.
The Seekers are okay, but I personally love the land mines more. Can't tell you how many people I killed with them, especially after they take me out. Revenge is sweet. And I don't like the Ink Bazooka that much.

To fit in in GAF rooms, there are only 3 requirements:
1) Don't sit in your base painting the same shit over and over for the entire match.
2) On Saltspray, there are many ways to get to the top. Utilize them.
3) Don't run straight at people with an Aerospray. At least try to dodge for the love of all that is fucking sacred.
As you can see, we have very low standards.

Yeah, that happened to me too. There were a few times I had a good team only to lose it to a comm error. But there were also a few times where I was able to keep the same team for a while.It was like that for me until this afternoon when I started getting comm errors every third match :/
I was lucky enough to be on some awesome teams too. made it all the way up to an 18 win streak
I don't know why the connection errors were so bad today.
Even if they'd just found a way to rotate the maps, like, once or twice in the day instead of the usual six rotations, things might have felt a little bit fresher for people who were around all day at least. If nothing else, having a taste of the three-map system was nice (although boy it sure seemed to love Kelp Dome more than anything else).
The biggest problem with splatfest is still the matchmaking. Waaaaay too many games that ran 3v4 or less, and in a mode where wins and losses count toward character advancement, that's kind of fucked. And as nice as the music was, I would really appreciate having more than just one song for every single match. Working up to King/Queen rank wound up feeling like such a slog but I really want to be able to customize my gear without having to build up a ridiculous cash reserve.
Here's hoping they continue to iron out issues before the next 'fest. The idea is cool in theory but handling it as they have is a bit bizarre.

I wonder if maybe matchmaking will be added for future Splatfests. It seems like it would be awesome, given the team structure.
Thankfully, when I played earlier, I got paired up with three good teammates for a long time. I got to Cat Champion without much trouble and we only lost maybe four games total out of the however many it took me to get to Cat Champion. Two aerosprays, one krak-on roller and me playing support with my custom splattershot jr.
'Twas good while it lasted.

Well did my part, made Dog Queen!! Might play a bit more just before it ends. Can't wait to get those 24 Sea Snails!
The mine is definitely the best revenge weapon.

Aannnnddd again :{
I can always feel them coming because my ink stops showing up on the map. Does that mean it's a problem on my end? I've checked every network setting and my Wii U is in a DMZ. I wasn't having issues like this during normal turf war/ranked matches this week either.
There are also very potent in Tower Control as well man. Almost gurantees a kill if you're trying to get on there haha.
Extra slots makes it so people can stop wearing the safari hat though
4) Don't lag ;_;

Have they said if your rank will actually result in anything beyond today? An item or a tag or something?

LOL, when I rejoined my team was 2vs4. We actually made it almost competitive though.
Just for curiosity you are team cat right?
Your rank changes how many Super Sea Snails you get at the end of the Splatfest.

GAF is full of laggers so that's not a requirement.
I know this from all the times I thought I was lagging since I genuinely do that sometimes so I tested it with some randoms and oh hey everything was just fucking fine.

I had to work a 12 hour shift today so I got a few hours of Splatfest before work. Initially I found a good team that worked well and we had a lot of fun matches. Then our team switched up and we started losing a bit. On top of that there was this really laggy roller that I had issues with. Of course a few matches later I pull a huge comeback for our team and really hustle to not lose this match and then two seconds before the match is over, com errors strikes and I get nothing for the win. After that I get into another room where we were playing against team dog(I'm team dog) then when we finally face some cats I guess someone dropped from our team so we had 4 vs. 3. I did another match in hope that the match making system would give us a 4th player but nope. So I quit and then rejoin another team. It was a 4 vs. 1 match although this time I was on the 4 player team. The one person on team cat just disconnected so we basically covered everywhere as thorough as we could for 3 minutes. After that I had to go to work. I just got off so I'm gonna try and squeeze in an hour.
