What great news to wake up to. Pride goeth before a fall, team cat. We doggers always knew the victory was ours in our hearts.

Being 2% better is still outplaying the other people though! It's not a huge wide margin but a spades a spade y'know.

That was fun regardless though, can't wait for the next splatfest in any event... man it's loving jarring going back to that death metal grung bullshit song after a day of the sisters singing nonstop.

Congratulations, you managed to barely beat 50% by winning in matches played by literal children :laugh:

Seriously though, now that we've proven once again that dogs are superior, let's all join together in friendship. Perhaps in the next splatfest, we can be... teammates.

So, somehow I enjoy playing Splatoon a HELL of a lot more when I can't see poo poo on the Gamepad lol, I can't tell who is winning, I can't tell where anyone is, and some how I am alot better when I can't see much....huh....goes to show I guess the Gamepad is just getting in the way with Splatoon and you do better without having to look at it, but man is it satisfying when I hit someone with an Ink strike when I just randomly click somewhere on the map and I hit someone not knowing if there was even anyone there lol.

Dynamo roller is really good on Tower but if you're in the obvious path of the tower you'll probably get shot before your horrible wall of death gets launched. Splat roller and carbon roller can also work but they're best for just aggressively clearing enemies while they're focused on the tower, as far as I can tell. Take default splat roller for the suction bombs and killer wail, over the Krak-on.

Inkbrush, who loving knows if that's viable.

I don't know if I was "doing it wrong" or what, but when I tried to play Tower Control with the dynamo I would cover that thing in my color when the other team had control and somehow the guys hiding in the ink didn't loving die. Which never seems to happen when I'm the one on the tower.

If the Japanese splatfest is doing corporate sponsorships, I want to see a Batman vs. Superman splatfest. It would probably be the only good thing to come out of that movie existing.

a cat will poop in a box and bury it in the sand

a dog will dig through that sand to find and eat that poop

a lot of cats are pooping in boxes (and are pretty good at it!), but almost twice as many dogs are digging for and eating their poop (not quite as good at it but only, like, 2% off)

Unless you're using an aerospray or playing ranked battle, a good turfwar player hits like 1300 points on a win, if you round that off to 1500 points then a sea snail is worth 20 wins to a player of that calibur. I lost 120 wins worth of gold due to garbage vote tallying which is 6 hours of more grinding in my life. To be specific, 6 hours of consecutive turf war wins and I have to switch from weapons I like to playing the dumb Aerospray; otherwise it will take me even longer.

There are no bad modes in Splatoon, only bad maps. Most of the maps are good too. Its just sometimes Arrowana Mall is in rotation and I contemplate just bashing my head against the wall instead since the result will be the same in terms of fun.

Turf War's the regular basic Deathmatch mode anyway. Ranked alternates between Tower (jump on the Tower and ride to the other team's point) and Splat Zones (king of the hill).

Well you're locked into it until level 10, so yeah.


It is a fun game mode, but after playing splatzones for a couple weeks, every time I went back to it I got bored after a couple matches. The splatfest was a fun reason to play it again, but I got bored/had other stuff to do enough during the day that I didn't bother maxing my rank.

Sea snails. You can use them to add more sub-abilities to your clothes when you reach level 20 (maximum of 3 slots). You get six more of them if your team won. Apparently that's enough for a lot of people to be big blubbery newborn baby bitches about.
