Everything is as expected.
That wouldn't be fair to the uncoordinated masses of dog people out there.

Wait, so we can't pay him for slots if we have snails?

You wish! For 62% of total voters competing for Team Dog, they should have pulled their weight more. Too many mutts on Team Dog, confirmed. ;P
So then what's the point of battling? The win percentage won't deviate too far from 50%, but the vote amount sure as hell will.
Fine. From now on I'll just vote for the option that I think will be more popular.

CAT IZ STRONG!!
Still no clue which equip I'll reroll or ada slots :/

I hope all the bad players will think like this so the good players can all side on the opposite team and clean house with a huge winrate.
Even with this big difference in vote proportion, Team Cat only needed 6% more of the wins to win come out on top, so no, battling isn't pointless. I can totally see a later Splatfest going as far as 60/40 in terms of win rate.
Yeah, I was just joking. Popularity being weighted destroys the whole competition aspect. Might as well make it a poll and skip the removal of modes and map rotation. Popularity would be a cool stat to show at the end, but the winner should come down to total wins.
That's what Cash Dome + Brush or some stupidly high rate of fire/spread weapon was for.
Eve if I picked Team Dog, won the vast majority of my matches and 51-49 is not a landslide, I do agree it should be win rate only, it makes the matches more important than simply picking the more popular choice. I actually thought it'd be winning rate only too.

18 snails = 540,000 in Splatoon currency.

What are you on about? huge difference in vote percentage and the smallest possible difference in wins, final score tally of 140 to 160 seems like that 2% made quite a difference

Yup, the Splatfest songs are permanently unlocked in Squid Beatz now.
I don't have any data to back me up, but I have a feeling that's statistically improbable. Not impossible, but improbable to the point that I'm just going to side with popularity from now on.
Fuck you, dogs. You lost.
EDIT: Yeah I'm salty. Fight me. Tentatek Splattershot on Saltspray Rig.

DOGS WIN 
But of course, it was fate.
So far only the US has backed up Marie with a win. All the other territories have fought for Callie's hand.

The larger the team is, the more shitty players it will have simply because the large majority of players in this game are awful. If popularity wasn't counted the larger team would always be at a disadvantage. I'm surprised the win rates were so close.
I was on Team Cat lol

You guys have to remember that more people from the "masses" means a lot more lower-skill players as well. I know DogGAF was carrying their teams most of the time. I sure as hell was.
Wasn't directing my massive salt at you.
Just at whomever formulated that stupid algorithm.

We deserved the victory T__T

I look forward to getting my eight super sea snails.

ok your immenseness.
Team Cat showing the skills needed to persevere with the lowest numbers possible. Team Dog needed to pander to the mainstream to get the win.

nvm
You mean 57 bruh
Yeah, Judd should call all those 1-2% wins a draw and open a popularity vote. Also call off overtime in ranked, since the losing team can only win by a 1 point margin.
Of course they are complaining, they won more matches yet they lost the fest. How could anyone not complain?
Wow, really surprised by how big the cat/dog gap was. I was sure it'd be more even
They won a statistically insignificant amount of wins that could have easily been due to luck of the draw due to their smaller sample size. On the other hand a greater percentage of splatoon won splatfest today. You are suggesting the reverse, which is your right, BUT ON THE SMALLEST WINRATE DIFFERENCE IN 3/3 SPLATFESTS.
