Event
-all maps and modes open
-randomized so expect a different mode/map every match
-squad bracelet (after a match, you can choose to put on a squad bracelet that will allow those you just teamed with to link up with you in case of a disconnection)
-2 new Splatfest songs for the other two modes (SZ and TC)
Team Making
-have players sign up for the Splatfest to occur one week following deadline for sign ups
-set "signed up" players to teams such that there is a great balance in numbers (should be even) and experience/skill formula that considers various factors from most recent play history
-allow players to vote for name with each team having two choices (cake or smoothie VS pie or milk shake)
-penalty for not reaching Defender, smallest reward for reaching Defender, significantly greater for reaching Champion, greatest (by far) for reaching King/Queen
-problem reduced significantly with one minor downside being that not all players would have the team name they voted for (majority will rule)
Score
-Turf AND K|D displayed at the end of results, not just K|D
-popularity no longer a factor
-live score board

Is it possible to use Discord on my PS Vita?
Teams?
yeah I'm down to play for a bit, I'm B-
I feel that there needs to be more changes to the base gameplay during splatfest. Maybe have some of roulette spin at the one minute left mark: could have effects like everyone's super is forced active, ink reversal, or a form change pause (need to wait 3 seconds after going squid to return to humanoid, etc).
Should be a seperate mode during splatfest though.

C+/B- (Can't remember which was most recent) but I'll hope on around 8:00p ET. Anyone else?
My NNID is nathangower btw. I don't think I'm in the main post.
the 2 ink brushes and 96 gals are already here.

It caps at A+99, if you want to get into S rank, you'll need to win that 1 point in normal ranked.
ok cool I just sent you a request
Hm, that's bothersome. I'm at A+54 right now so it'd be silly to join a squad to carry me to 99. I guess I'l try my luck with randoms for now.

Man, something akin to Team Fortress' Halloween Mode would be sweet during Splatfests.
Accepted. In a room with another GAFer. You should be able to join?
I don't see you, are you doing a 2 or 3/4 squad?
Are you talking about the BlakStatus, Totakeke, Zing one other vs. Saro, Crisium, Gregtis and I? We were on a roll and got our asses handed to us that match.
You start off bad and don't get good position in Splatzones you're screwed
Oh yeah, forgot about Rainmaker. And yes, for European players, I agree there should be more colors. Why not some strange combinations exclusive to Splatfest (like yellow and white in Japan's most recent one)? (Though personally, I don't think white's particularly great for stages like Blackbelly Skatepark and Arowana Mall due to blending in with the whiter-portions of the maps.)
Good point...though why not have the Splatfest version serve as a "preview" version, where player ranks are unaffected by wins/losses, but have experience points still earned for both traditional leveling and Splatfest? Traditional leveling mechanics also apply to Splatfest's.
I like your bracelet idea, which is actually an improvement to looking up players in the most-recently-played-with queue prior to the August update. This minor Squad Battle-esque functionality would be truly appreciated. Also, don't forget to add another new song in the case of Rainmaker!
But what about the "unsigned" players? Also, your second proposed feature may be too complicated, especially when players sign-up at "the last minute"; will said feature be done by person or some specific algorithm? Not to mention, having increased penalties for lesser-than-Champion players might be a tad too harsh. Though I do like being able to choose which theme to represent your team.
Yes, yes, and YES! As someone who stops playing upon reaching "King" status, I'd like to see the current standing between teams. May motivate me to play more, hehehe.

We just did a 2-person. We're going into another game right now. It's me and tapantaola.

I made a three-person room. Feel free to join, the both of you.

Is there a FAQ that explains the logic behind secondary abilities?
I see people having clothing items with the exact 3 same abilities. Is that the equal of 1 primary ability?

The small ones are called subs and it takes 3 to roughly equal 1 main perk. Some brand of clothing has a higher chance to gain certain perks and less of another. Other gear has equal chance of getting all types of perks, like Amiibo gears.
