I don't think the Splatoom servers are able to handle splatfest. I have never had some many disconnects.

On my way back home from a NOFX show to fight for Team Rock. Hopefully I can actually get into a game

I'm bored today, realized I don't turn on my Wii U much, so I bought Splatoon just now.

I added my screen name to the automated list, but my Nintendo ID is omgitsbees I wouldnt mind having more friends. I have only a handful so far cause I havent had my Wii U that long.

Just had a rockin' win streak for team Dog, all with the same people.

Devin, Vanna, y'all some fresh squids. Hawk you were kind of useless but it's okay, we pushed the cats back to spawn every match anyway.

I like fighting with the same people every match. Builds a sense of camaraderie even though I have no idea who these people are.

Has there been that many disconnects? When I was playing at 2 am it was pretty much no wait time and only one match where there was 3 dogs vs 2 cats.

Eternal pop girl achieved! I probably won't get to play again during the fest. Connection issues aside it was broadly fun if occasionally frustrating.

Before Splatfest I very, very rarely ever saw a disconnect and only saw a laggy player every dozen games or so.

During Splatfest, there have been more 4v3 matches (or worse) than I can remember with very laggy players every couple matches or so.

edit:

Today I had a match where, mid dynamo swing, three enemies walked around a corner into the blast. :allears:

I had a game drop to 1v1 and I used echolocator to dominate the guy. I'd feel bad for spawn camping him for the entire last minute of the match, but gently caress that guy for picking the team I did not pick.

Came back this afternoon and my streak is pretty much gone thanks to all the super fun 2 vs 4 matches. When I finally got 4 people on my team 2 of them stood in spawn the entire time spamming booyah.

Glad to know team Dog is cheating like hell.

I've won a bunch of games, but against other rockers. :(

Then I had a game against a pop team where we started with 3 people, and another where the whole enemy team appeared to be invulnerable to my shots. :negative:

I lost like the first six games I played but am now evening the odds. Close to whatever the one after Charismatic is. Once I started getting good 4x4 matches against the actual opposing team everything was quickly forgiven.

Saw my first splatoon hacker, seems like about the right time.

This guy was swimming in enemy ink and firing his splash-o-matic at insane speeds, it looked like a roller weave rather than a series of bullets.
Please disqualify team cat, even if there are hackers on both teams cat has more players and is statistically has more bad people on it as a result.

Was he doing it continually? Just asking because wrong-ink swimming and momentarily sped-up fire rates are both things that can appear to happen when there's lag.

A clear and obvious setup - no kills, no deaths? Is this the kind of propaganda that Team Cat wants you take at face value? Despicable.

Pretty surprised by all of the complaints of imbalanced teams and unstable connections. I've been playing for a few hours now (on Team Dog for the record) and things have been going super smoothly on my end, having only experienced one of each, and no matches against my own team. Guess I must have just gotten lucky. :shrug:

Thinks It's All Real
I would be more upset about 3 vs 4 matches if it wasn't for Team Cat still kicking Team Dog's rear end with a man down.

I've yet to have a match that's not cat vs dog. Maybe because there are more on team dog?

I have had a few connection errors though which I have never ran into before. But once you get in the game is pretty solid.

Edit: wish there was some sort of leaderboard so we could know how our team is doing.

Edit 2: Suck it Team Dog!

Let me put it this way, he wasn't warping or doing anything else that made it seem like lag.
He was able to straight up hide in squid form in our ink, pop up and 4whipe us by tilting the gun left and right.

Might have been lag but it was unlike anything I've ever seen.

Vote% + 2xWin% = Final Score

So if Team Cat is made of better players than Team Dog, they can overcome their voting disadvantage.

Wait, do my points not matter? Only my team wins? So it doesn't matter that I'm the Cat Queen?

Let me ask you this: do I help my team if I get on later and keep playing, even if I'm maxed out, so long as I win?

Because I was kind of feeling some Captain Toad ...

Your wins matter. If you win a match it's +1 to your team's cause. King/Queen determines how many snails you get as a reward.

Just had a match where we pushed all the dogs back to spawn in kelp dome, I used my Kraken and killed a enemy and a ring appeared where he was standing, so 2 teammates and myself just sat around it while I was still Kraken'd. Everyone was just spamming booyah as fast as possible until we feasted on him.

Ha, I killed someone with a Kraken in one of the Underpass side corridors earlier right after two players had chosen to super jump to him. Literally just stood with myself over the two rings spamming jump.
