Also, I've had nothing but Cat versus Dog and have curb stomped dogs each time. I thought maybe Team Dog wasn't up yet.

If you don't have color locked you'll notice it because instead of orange and teal you'll get different colors

I keep getting communication errors and only match against other dog teams. Still have yet to fight the inferior cat team.

splattin cats for dog and country :patriot: :woof:



Been running into some really egregious lag though, I somehow got splatted by an inkstrike that didn't actually happen as far as I could tell, which was a first, and my shots were going directly through a Dynamo Roller player long enough for him to turn to me, wind up, and hit me with his flick shot.

Later on I think I figured out what happened with the inkstrike, when I saw a patch of ground suddenly change into an explosion pattern, followed by an inkstrike signal and explosion 10 seconds later.

I hope that's cropped because a win, first place on the team, and 366 points with an Aero RG is :psyduck:

Pretty much every Dog vs. Cat match I've had has been an easy victory as well, except for cases of extreme lag or when we start the match down 1-2 people. Or when you get teamed up with inkbrush users who spend the whole match painting over your own color near the spawn, which may as well be starting down 1-2 people.

Me and my loyal, fun-loving Team Dog pals are consistently having to wait for the lazy, furball-hacking Team Cat to get its collective poo poo together and form a team.

Also, between the passing train and quasi-holiday atmosphere of the Splatfest hub, this game is BEGGING for Animal Crossing integration.

Achieved Dog King rating in about ~4 hours of gameplay today. I learned how to play Dynamo Roller in the process! However, I would have no idea how to play it without the sprinkler. How do people play the gold variant?

Also, I'm extremely bad with the regular rollers now. My timing is completely off.

I was just 1 cat vs 4 dogs. Lost but got 1600 pts!

I've probably won 15/20 with cats this morning overall. Seems a good mix, not too many weird team sizes.

Of course, we trounced them. Go Dogs!

Reached Cat Champion just now, will continue the grind for Cat King after I've gotten some lunch.

Most of my matches have been wins so far. The only memorable loss I had was when two of my teammates disconnected while the other team still had all four. Are the dogs DDoSing the cats or something?

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

Have to take a break because my gamepad battery is running out of juice. I'm up to 60-something/99.

I haven't had any instances where I've gone up against my fellow cat-lovers, though I have had a few matches where one or the other team was down a member.

The one time it was my team that was down, we only lost by 3%. Three measly percentage points. We almost won with a 3vs4. Team Dog should be ashamed.

Fanboy/Fangirl - 0 (2 snails, you lazy arse)
Defender - 10 (3 snails)
Fiend - 25 (35 total) (5 snails)
Champion - 50 (85 total) (8 snails)
King/Queen - 99 (184 total) (12 snails, you no-life)

Snail numbers double if your team wins the Splatfest.

At a minimum of 2 splatfest points for each match, and 3 minute matches that takes 276 minutes of play time, or 4.6 hours of splatoon at the most.

Less for each win, where you get +3.

It's apparently possible to get 5 points per match if you get more than 400bp and win. Or something.

Ahhh so that's why it says 400p next to the +2 - I was wondering why it didn't add 400 points to my total

Actually had a run where we were down 1 person and still won by a landslide. Someone named Kit just wrecked the other team with a basic splattershot and had 17 splats by the end of it. Godspeed you amazing team dog member.
