Support NeoGAF

[Azure J]

Well I know what to do in Splatoon tonight (Scientifically speaking of course):


Edit: I'm surprised that when new threads on GAF are made about the new Splatfest is announced that there are no polls for that thread for either team.

We really should do this. :lol

 

[Pikma]

What's with the game's weird obsession of forming teams of players with the same weapon? So damn annoying.

 

[PreyingShark]

Hi.

@Chris_D: It's just a custom level.

Is this the tournament that was announced a while ago, or something else?

It's part of it, yes.
All the teams with kids getting rekt.

That orange roller was amazing!

...What were they doing

 

[HawthorneKitty]

That family got stomped. D:

 

[PreyingShark]

Didn't realize it was a family until I saw them leaving. Poor guys. ;(

 

[Vecks]

lol, that last match was just brutal.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Next NA Splatfest revealed. ART vs SCIENCE.

I'm not sure what to pick. I think I'll go with SCIENCE...

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Ok, already chose a splatfest team: Science!!!

Unfortunately, that means Science's the team that will lose...

 

[PreyingShark]

How many gold aerosprays did blue team have? lol

EDIT: OMFG THE KRAK-ON USED A BEAKON OMFG OMFG OMFG

 

[ChrisD]

So I just got disconnected from a match for having "no internet connection" and lost 12 of my 50 A+ points. B-, here I come!

 

[SM239]

EDIT: OMFG THE KRAK-ON USED A BEAKON OMFG OMFG OMFG

That Krak-on is clearly using the weapon wrong.

 

[PreyingShark]

Now this looks like a GAF room!

 

[Vecks]

lol, the camera keeps zooming in on the white guy.

 

[ChrisD]

That Krak-on is clearly using the weapon wrong.

Not even throwing the Beakons to see where enemies are!

 

[PreyingShark]

Two families against each other? So cute!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

lol that kids like am I playing yet?

 

[Luigi87]

I really hate how gains are clamped when you're close to ranking up... This just happened (A- btw)

-14 loss "Well, okay..."
+6 win "... seriously?"
-14 loss (again) "WTF GAME!"

Teams weren't even that unbalanced rank wise.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I wanted the all-female team to win.

Let your skill exceed that of your rank before expecting to rank up.

I keep getting juggled between A and A- D=
And it really stung that I dropped from 97 back to 74.. I mean I'm still in the "safe zone" but, bleh.
... I even made it to A 93, before dropping all the way back @_@

What I mean is there is no point waiting until you reach S, A+ in order to start playing like one. Just work on your play and improve your skill before worrying about what rank you are assigned.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Wow, thought Orange had it on lock; dat comeback.

True enough.
It's just discouraging when you get into situations where it feels no matter what you do, you can't carry your team.

Blue Depot sucks D=
I don't like it in Turf Wars.
I don't like it in Rainmaker.
I don't like it in Tower Control.

So, did we ever figure out how the prize pool was actually being allocated?

(also is there a bracket)

They only showed bracket at beginning so far; not like we'd know any of it.

Cool art for it tho

 

[Neoxon]

I clutched one Rainmaker win like no other.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I expect a Squid's vs Kirby team in finals if possible.

 

[Pikma]

I clutched one Rainmaker win like no other.
