Haven't seen that in forever, thankfully.
Defense Up Tentatek shouldn't even be legal, especially not scummed 57 points of Defense Up. That's some nasty business. @_@

Walleye Warehouse, Flounder Heights and Ancho-V Games for Splatfest, best fest maps combo ever?
Quoting myself because I went from S+82 to S+34 in the past thirty minutes
im okay, for real
((((when this happens I pull out my stylus and super jump to it
I think there was an overall issue with the network yesterday - I tried playing and had 2-3 DC in a row and gave up. That's not really normal and it's interesting that other people experienced the same problems.
I do that when playing with a roller and people keep super jumping to me instead of the beacons I've placed. Thats just frustrating and you stick some beakons on the spawn after you get splatted because someone super jumped to you as you were trying to ambush the opposition.
Yes, there has been something going on the last days specifically. Although I haven't experienced any disconnects myself, I played a lot turf war matches yesterday with one or two disconnected players (even before match starts). Perhaps they are messing around with the match making servers for the Splatfest (since Splatoon gameplay itself is P2P).
Is Ancho-V the one with the fans and the moving platforms? I'm still not 100% on the names of the newer stages, though i know them by sight.
Seems like this will be a fest for short-range players, though.
Yeah, it is.
You seem to be right. The unstable connection messages are back, and router power cycling isn't fixing it. Everyone else is playing online just fine though?
EDIT: All is good again.
Good Splatfest rotation.
What are you doing with it?
I told my brother last night that H3D is akin to playing baseball with a plastic bag.
They should let it be a two-shot kill that can be blocked out by one Defense Up main, or two subs if that's too much. Up close I'm sure .52 still kills faster. And from afar it would be no worse than .96's two-shot.

How else am I supposed to jump back to safety
You use your stylus to sj?

It kills in 13 frames which is the same as the Sploosh, 2nd fastest ttk in the game after the .52 and the Carbon (12 frames).
Doesn't really matter of course because of how impractical the weapon is.
only when I superjump to a beacon on the spawn point, otherwise it'll just register as me jumping to the spawn point and the beacon won't get destroyed
Using it like a more ink efficient/wider squiffer. It's deceptively effective for inking turf.
Also reliable for making quick escape lines.
That said I would never compare anything to the gals. They're way too inaccurate for my liking.

Yeah. Particularly since they don't seem to mind giving loadouts within the same family some overlap at this point. For example, Octobrush Noveau and Permanent Inkbrush both having Splat Bombs. I feel that Disruptors are more suitable for the H3 than the L3, and hopefully it won't be difficult to differentiate between the two.

I played for the first time in months yesterday and it's still a ton of fun (mainly because I kept winning).
They've avoided disruptor kraken for all this time for a reason. While i agree that the h3 could use a good set, what it needs more than anything is a main weapon buff.

A50 now. Oh okay.
The other day started a match, got killed and respawned between 3 beacons... sigh
I feel you Nathan. I was S 15 earlier today, and now I'm A+ 53. I don't think I was sucking that much, as I like to blame the random teammates

I was going upwards.
Now I'm at A30 again lol
Oh :lol We should squad up sometime, GAFfers against the A world
Nice Splatfest rotation! Any Turf rotation without Saltspray, Bluefin, or Camp is a winner in my book. Trying to coordinate a team of randoms on those maps feels like herding cats. Flounder is such a great Turf Wars map, as well. The only one that makes me a little nervous is Ancho-V... Saw a decent amount of spawn-camping on that map during the last Splatfest.
I think I'm going Team Fancy regardless because I'm kinda over getting a costume together these days, but Team Fancy seems like the play, no? Kinda feels like all the kids would go for a Costume Party. I know rank is supposed to even that out, but there's gotta be something in the adult/kid demo split that still affects the win percentage.

I'm having problems too. Damnit come on. I still got around 2 and ahalf hours left. I need to do it tonight not tomorrow. ._.
FFS.
Edit: I'm contantly stuck on "connecting to internet"
Edit2: Just passes thru! Hopefully it works now!
Edit3: FUCK! Now it keeps D/C again.
Just gotta keep trying. So fucking exausted but I gotta finish the Splatfest.

2 DC in a row and I'm waiting for opponents to show up in what seems to be an eternity.
Aaaaaand the 3rd one.
Come on, I don't have time tomorrow...

Looks like all Nintendo servers are having issue, not just Splatoon.

This really sucks...
I suppose I'll have to find some time to play tomorrow around midnight.

Well, the servers are back, and since I was at 85/99 points when they crashed, I decided to get the necessary couple of wins out of the way already.
Overall, this was easily my most enjoyable Splatfest so far, the Japanese being with us meant no DC bullshit every two seconds, and I got to play with actually competent people, so yeah, I actually had fun.
Not to mention that if it wasn't for the maintenance I would have finished this run in less than 3 hours! Getting 9 points from winning is awesome.
I have no need for snails anymore, so I did this solely to support costume parties, since I find fancy dressing an annoying chore.

Immediately went on a run with Japanese players, got 48/99 Fancy Champion and up to 25x for our squad. Didn't plan on going that far just barely this morning...
Yeah, pretty smooth for me too. Still a few connection errors here or there but the matchmaking has been significantly quicker this time. No more 2-minute waits for matches!
Ended up +101 for the day. Tried playing regular Slosher through Champion and basically split all my games... I think being saddled with Special Saver for the shirt really messes up that weapon during Splatfest. All those Dynamos and invicibilities running around is bad meta for that weapon. Ended up switching to Slosher Deco and won 10-11 straight to King. Whohoo!
I have no idea why teams try to over-extend on Walleye Turf, though. That is, like, the easiest map to lock down once you're in there. Seen a lot of stupid losses by teams going for style points.

I saw that quite a bit today. We'd have them pinned down pretty well to where their team was in "Danger" with a minute left but then someone would get greedy and go walking up the ramp on their side, get splatted, and that was the opening the other team needed to come back.
Not that I was doing much better today. I think my teams only won about a third of the games I played in.
The highest my Fancy Power got was +127.
That was a pretty smooth ride to Queen even after suffering several matches just to find two good batches of teammates to stick with. I don't think I experienced any teammate dropouts. And since it was a global Splatfest, I had 4 Fancy vs. Fancy matches.

FUCKING FINALLY I'M FUCKING DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT OH MY FUCKING GOD

Right there with you on this one. On one hand, I like the greater point-gains for wins since it means getting on a winning team will get you over with the whole thing faster...but it also feels a lot harder to get a solid team and go on a winning streak compared to before. It was at its worst yet for me in this global event. I'm tired of the enforced crappy gear, "ranked" turf wars that actually feel like they matter, and the notion that every loss feels like it's forcing you to keep playing that much longer, especially now that winning can bring an end to it so quickly.
Also I still hate inkzookas a lot. Fuck that super.
You really shouldn't be so dependent on your stats that your pissed about losing them.
We could be stripped to vanilla and I wouldn't give a fuck.
Also, got king ages ago.

Pros and cons of Global Splatfest.
Pros:
-Never have to wait for a game
-Players are a bit better
Cons:
-Enemy Snipers gain the buff to shoot through walls and cannot be shot from the front or sides, only the back.
-Enemy Inkzookas are buffed to be Rainmaker size. And go through walls.
-Increased chance of joining a Squid Bag Party if the player is the only American in the room (I had 9 games, 9!! of all players on my team squidbagging or following me while flicking their rollers at me)
If there was a roller on the other side, don't even bother to leave the base because the team will run straight into it.

Finally got to King. Had much better luck finding good teammates this time than I did last time. Ended up at 1651 (started at 1600). Last time I dropped to, like, 1550 or so.
