My tsukkomi teammates were all kinds of terrible, so I fully expected tsukkomi to lose. Cool.

I must've snatched em all I didn't get matched with a single bad tsukkomi teammate. Although I guess overall I didn't have that many teammates, we mostly stuck together but whenever someone dropped another decent player would join. Was really good for matchmaking! Truly the best splatfest experience so far.

The best rotation as a Dynamo roller is Splatzones: Walleye warehouse and Kelp Dome.

 

[Sendou]

The best rotation as a Dynamo roller is Splatzones: Walleye warehouse and Kelp Dome.

That's the best rotation period

 

[Africanus]

That's the best rotation period

I can control half of the stage with ease. It's glorious.

 

[Luigi87]

One thing that gets me, and maybe I'm just imagining it, but does anyone else feel that in spite of being two map rotations, it often feels like 90% one map, 10% the other?

 

[Pikma]

You aren't imagining anything, sometimes it does happen.

It's not just you. Rainmaker last night was literally bluefin depot majority of the time with camp appearing once or twice lol.

On an unrelated note, I'm sick of the inkzooka.

Same for me. You'd think they would just alternate evenly.

 

[Pikma]

Same for me. You'd think they would just alternate evenly.

There's so much you can do when you have less maps than map rotations, unless people actually wanted to have the same map rotations every day.

My nine-year-old daughter playing ranked (she is rank B):

"Am I the only one doing anything"

"Cmon guys, step your game up"

Haha. Proper Splatoon player.

Good to know I'm not crazy.
... Well at least for this reason.

My nine-year-old daughter playing ranked (she is rank B):

That is priceless, haha

lol that's beautiful

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

Amazing.

 

[ChrisD]

My nine-year-old daughter playing ranked (she is rank B):

Is she actually carrying teammates, or just making excuses like the rest of us?

Camp is a terrible map.

 

[Luigi87]

You know you've been trolled when your team is slightly behind, a teammate picks up the Rainmaker, you clear a path for them... And they refuse to go forward and just stay in a corner.

D=

You've raised her well!

So, I have a ton of highlights from the last long stream that I did to share with everyone. I don't imagine you'd all watch everything but a few of them I have to point out (in bold):

Caught Between a Rock & An Inky Place - Rainmaker shield too OP
ayy lmao - ayy lmao
SplatGAF Azure vs SplatGAF Sendou - GAF Civil Wars are the best.
SplatGAF vs. The E-Lites - Four E-Liter team on Port Mackerel. Fun times.
When you drop your combo but play it off as a reset - I have the best Splash Walls. lol
Solo_Ranked.mp4 - The beginning of the nuttiest bit of ranked I've played in this game.
Splash_Wall.mp4 - When I first began to realize this sub is hilarious.
Even_More_Splash_Walls.mp4 - The ultimate conclusion of my "Splash Wall is fucking hilarious" hypothesis.
Carbon_Rollers.mp4 - Sabobo doe.
Carbon Rollers Are Evil - Absolutely savage.
lrn2Kraken - How did that Kraken get there? I am not good with computer.
Slippin' In Pubs - Nothing like charger night on Walleye with randoms to let you feel a little better about yourself after fucking up in ranked. lol
WALKMAN04 is a Savage. - Self Explanatory
Don't Jump: The Match - I have never hit one target so consistently in all the time I've used charger.
How To Fight A Sniper: Mash all of the nuclear options.
More Slippin' In Pubs - Moray Towers - Just another set of silly turf war things.
Charger Duels - It's almost guaranteed that whenever you have a good moment 1v1 against another charger player at max range and defy death in multiple manners that you will get splatted in the most embarrasing manner right afterwards. lol
Bombs. - Now you all can have a good explosive treat to eat as well!

I still have a small bit of that stream to go through and a few backlogged highlights to get up soon as well so stay tuned!

 

[PreyingShark]

WALKMAN04 is a Savage. - Self Explanatory

lmfao, how come nobody else could splat you?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

So having a quick browse through Miiverse and I see way more team messy posts than team tidy posts. I'm on team Tidy

Spoiler

I've made a terrible mistake...

 

[Azure J]

Streaming! Currently squadding with SM, Goya and Ryechu.

And we've officially crossed the Sonic threshold.

 

[Vena]

Oh we crossed that already.

 

[Toadsili T]

ayy lmao - ayy lmao

ayy lmao is the only appropriate response to this. Even I was laughing watching this!

Charger Duels - It's almost guaranteed that whenever you have a good moment 1v1 against another charger player at max range and defy death in multiple manners that you will get splatted in the most embarrasing manner right afterwards. lol

Oh, so THAT'S why you were down there! I thought it was strange for you to be in that spot given you were scope charging; I missed all of the fun it seems. Love how you knew it was me before the camera focused on me as well.

SplatGAF Azure vs SplatGAF Sendou - GAF Civil Wars are the best.

SplatGAF is always so much fun, playing or watching. Thanks for sharing Azure! : )

And we've officially crossed the Sonic threshold.

Critical lack of "Original Character! DO NOT STEAL!".

You know that lots of 14 year-olds have sex, right? >_>

Its a joke, lol.

The stranger thing here is that Boy Inkling's chest looks more like Female's chest than her own.

...I swear, there wasn't any other way to word that.

 

[ffdgh]

And to think this is tame compared to the other stuff out there.

 

[ChrisD]

And to think this is tame compared to the other stuff out there.

I mean, it's squids, ink, and "Sploosh-o-matic" is a weapon.
You don't even have to do much imagining to get an idea of what's definitely out there lol.

 

[Ahnez]

And to think this is tame compared to the other stuff out there.

NeoGAF's Theorem of Fan Art 1

If you can post something on NeoGAF's forums without getting banned, then there's always something worse

 

[Azure J]

Y'all are killing me with that fan art. lmao

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Apparently there's some Splatoon Beta data in Mario Maker?

What's this about? Is it legit?

 

[PreyingShark]

Its a joke, lol.

Oh sorry. On the internet, and especially Facebook, I've met too many people who would say something like that seriously.

NWPlayer found it. (scroll down a bit)

(Interesting that one of the football helmets has rivalsquid in the name IIRC, rivalsquid refers to Octolings, doesn't it? Or am I thinking of something else.)

Hahahahaha that's hilarious. No really, it is.

 

[Rnr1224]

i bought this game when it first launched and have been unable to play online because the provided internet was pretty strict with what it would allow through its ports. but now i have complete control over that stuff and I am finally able to play! Im only lvl 9 but I spent a lot of this past weekend playing. Great fun so far! Still trying to figure out what controls i like best though.

 

[ChrisD]

Gyro or bust on controls!

Edit: Azure, requesting you post on the thread whenever you've got a planned time for the Smurf Squad.

 

[ffdgh]

Motion controls are the way to go...imo ofcourse.

 

[T-0800]

One thing that gets me, and maybe I'm just imagining it, but does anyone else feel that in spite of being two map rotations, it often feels like 90% one map, 10% the other?

I played one map 6 times in a row yesterday.

 

[Nico_D]

My nine-year-old daughter playing ranked (she is rank B):

"Am I the only one doing anything"

"Cmon guys, step your game up"

Oh,cute! My nine-year-old daughter won't play. I've tried to talk her over but no. Her little brother won't either. They claim it looks too hard.

[ChrisD]

When you swish a Kraken away with your Inkbrush
Then they pop another and you swish it, too
Then they pop one more and you run out of ink

I'm beginning to think Y'all want me dead

 

[Azure J]

So, this happened:

Also Smurf Squad next weekend.

 

[PreyingShark]

My nine-year-old daughter playing ranked (she is rank B):

"Am I the only one doing anything"

"Cmon guys, step your game up"

As a Rank B, going by the last time I played Ranked...

Yeah she's pretty much spot-on.

 

[Azure J]

Had some really excellent matches/moments today between squads and random turf wars. I'll get everything up during the day today, but this one I had to get up there quick:

SplatGAF (SM239, GuySloth, Toadsili T & Azure J) vs. Squid Squad Hearts/Clubs (Frank, BooTheBun, Yuulka, & DUDE)

The best part about this one is that I found two different POVs from the opposing side to watch it from thanks to BooTheBun and Yuulka streaming it:

Boo's POV
Yuulka's POV

Some others I got up include:

The Longest Yard
It's an INK-VASION!
Port Mackerel Match
Arowana Mall Match

I'll finish parsing the stuff I have for highlights later today.

That's really neat. We also now have the official name for the Splatfest battle music, Kimi-iro no Somete (Paint Me in Your Color), and the second ABXY song, Quick Start.
