Splatoon |OT4| You're a detriment to your squad

I think Krak-on and Coro-coro are the most popular. I like Carbon myself because it's light (it's still 1HKO at point blank, anyway).

Did my part. Take it home team Callie! Only second splatfest (after the very first) that I played up to King rank.
Got on a roll with a really good group toward the end. Won at least 10 in a row. Final match we won 93% to 1.8% in the Warehouse.
I'd say my team won probably 75% of matches this Splatfest. Though I did just back out after bad losses and was lucky to find a few good groups that stuck together last night and this morning.
I bought the Aerospray PG and used that exclusively afterward. Really like it as I like the bombs and Kraken more than the powerups on the RG or MG version.
I can't. Tell me what's happening?

To hell with anyone using an inkbrush or bucket. The next Splatoon better have better weapon balance because I am so over that shit.
It's really that unbalanced?
I actually thought brushes were usually seen as quite unefficient weapons? What is the problem?
Brush class as a whole needs buffs. Buckets too, but I'd say more quality of life changes for their weapons (Sloshing Machines need a whole new thing though)...
I'm kinda curious what kinda brushes you guys have been running into now.

Nah fuck buckets
Do you have any idea how many laggy ass evil green buckets I've encountered this fest? Like oh my god fuck that thing.
Well there's your problem. You're standing on the wrong side.

My problem with brushes and buckets is that both put up an impenetrable barrier. Like, "Wanna get through? Fuck you, you can't." All brush and bucket users have to do is spam the fire button (oftentimes combined with jumping) and, unless you have the higher ground, not even your shots can make it through. It's a cowardly way to play for people who'd rather not engage in a fair gun fight in a shooter.

Finished for the day. Ended up +105 on the climb to King. Found an odd-but-effective team of Soda/Heavy/.96/Dynamo that cleaned up for 10 straight games or so. The Callie teams seemed about on par with ours, from what I saw. That final boss music is really awesome to play multiplayer games with. Really gets you pumped!
Moray was our biggest struggle. I think it's because that map rewards teams who can go on the offensive and sneak into the overlook and ramps and stuff. We had a lot of heavier weapons that played better on the map control levels. A lot of the Moray games were stalemates as both teams tried to make a push, and would often come down to the wire.
Kelp Dome seems like the best Soda map in the game... Only dropped 2 or 3 games on it. Without the middle entrance in Turf, it's too easy to lock down the entire corner of the enemy's base and constantly harass people on the grates. Inkzooka played really well here too.
Our Walleye games were a mixed bag. I like Walleye as a map in general, but Turf plays too much like Zones. You either lock them out or they lock you out.

People still use green buckets?

A-ranks are really weird.
Well I mean, brushes are supposed to be the melee class. Without that "impenetrable barrier" that they have to get into range for, how do they pressure you when you can just swim, recenter and murder them without a second thought?
First, I don't think it's a shooter. You don't earn points by shooting, but by inking.
Then, I know the problem... Since I main Carbon roller, I have a really, really short range...
But are you sure that protect from ink?
I can still 1HKO them... The only issue for me is lag, but that's worse with chargers.Triforce141

Seeing this talk about brushes and how you're apparently a barrier of all sorts or even things to be feared about, I have to ask, what kind of tactics are you using or seeing that makes me fail everytime?
Literally everything I try with brushes, the weapon classes are just the eternal struggle that feel like I need to invest over 18 million points of turf inked for each one before the sense of zen starts flowing within me; becoming an outright Nano Boosted Genji God with his Dragon Blade. Even being the sneaky flanker and getting someone by surprise, mashing the trigger as hard as I can to dump out ink blobs like there's no tomorrow, they just turn around and have 57 points of top kek up as they somehow survive the entire barrage, blowing me away.

Wait this happened? Oh I am SO there for these last few hours!
This will be a good sendoff for sure.
The music change was so good
Its weird, it was so much easier to reach queen this time, compared to the last three/four splatfests
.. Its almost like my teammates actually knew what they were doing
Also.. Just saw this

Fixed.
How many hours left? I've been out since 6:30am. I wanna play more, but I don't think I can...
8 hours and 9 minutes.

Hmm. Ends at 6pm. This is the worldwide time it ends? It'll be over in Japan then, or is it already over here?
I'll try to squeeze in a couple games before I go out tonight! Ahh!

The only night time form of anything you'll be able to access after this Splatfest is Inkopolis Plaza itself, and that's only if you have the Callie or Marie amiibo.
Edited my post to add better explanation
Those don't let you into the multiplayer when active though.

Calm down bro.
This also worries me
Almost every stage is better during the night
Lets hope they add an option in the next update, as there's no way to play on them after this splatfest..
Well even though I took this Splatfest easy and had 3 different play sessions due to 48 hours (which was a really nice change. Less of a hassle to begin to get to King/Queen), I feel like it's a SplatGAF tradition to post the screencap of me getting to Marie King:
Also shoutout to them changing the song to Calamari Inkantation halfway through splatfest!
Hope these return with some twist in the sequel
