I honestly would like to see a housecat go down a waterslide, but this is probably fatal for the person that makes it happen :catstare:



EDIT: New Page Eh? I did my own research and found no cats on waterslides. Even without looking, I found cool dogs on waterslides in the cat results

Been spending a lot of time waiting for a Team Roller Coaster team to show up, only to lose due to comebacks in the last 30 seconds. This must be what Team Dog felt like.

why are there so many total morons on team rollercoaster? I've ended every game with a positive record AND #1 points but have won maybe 1/3 of them

I was just wondering the same thing about team water slide. All my teams thus far have been base inking dog loving fools. If we win, it's one of those hard won 49 - 51 victories. I got out of one match with ~850 points and we lost. It's not my fault at that point!

Stick with a team. The sore losers, bad team players,, and people who don't gel will drop out. Then you're left with a team of people who work well together and your only troubles will be against other such teams.

e: What's amazing about my current team is I can place 3rd with 1030 points.

I'd like to thank everybody who drops inkstrikes on the top half of the Rig when it's entirely the other team's color. When running defense, I couldn't charge my own strikes without your help.

I'd like to thank the one guy every match who decides to go to the bathroom as soon as the match starts so we play 3 on 4 and lose every time. You have let down the Roller Coaster master race you idiot!

Maybe because roller coasters are lame and in fact not the master race.

it feels every match ends up with one side getting roled, followed by them immediately making a comback and stomping the other team, or one person slips behidnt he rest and just covers half the map thats undefended.

What's more likely happening here is someone on the team that WAS winning gets disconnected

I must say that while I have been yelling things at my team and the other team that would get me murdered in a back alley, I am learning a ton and having the time of my life, even if I am losing more than I am winning and admit to this being 66% my fault. This game really is the best. :allears:

Just played like 20+ killer waterslide matches with XeXero who was so awesome and Booyah!ed at the start of every match. When she finally went away I was sad, but I had to plug my gamepad in so it was time for me to quit, too. Then I went to friend her and it turns out my splatfest BFF has a guy Mii and now I'm questioning everything.

Anyway, killed it for team waterslide this morning! Played two waterslide vs. waterslide matches and had very few connection issues. It was a blast.

Turned it around and was just rocking waterslides hardcore, decided to do one more game and lost by .2% I'm 62 points away from maxxxing out.

In a related matter it's pretty cool seeing so many people with stereotypically feminine names. I've never played a game like this and seen names like Maddie or Becky with any frequency.

When I first started playing it didn't connect that your system Mii name was your in game username, so it weirded me out a bit to see so many Mama's and Nana's, and a few Mommy's.

VVVV Odd, I haven't seen a single dad but tons of moms.

Maybe Dads prefer to play in ranked rather than Causal Mode

Joined water slides to be the underdog even though I like roller coasters better

2/6 matches so far had 3v4s at lobby with roller coasters at the disadvantage wtf

edit: matchmaking in general this week seems hosed, and I'm even getting a lot more mid-game disconnects. Bleh.

Team Sleep are living up to their name, since most of my matches have been against fellow Team Foodies, I reached Super Eating Girl rank before I called it quits for a while, I'll probably call it at rank 4, which is the next one once I earn 47 more points.

uses different colors if it fails to find another team and just pits you against your own side.

Don't know what's better: Wiping the entire team with an ink strike near the end of the match, or using seekers to rush forward at the beginning and accidentally taking out half the enemy team.

I can't break my roughly 50/50 ratio despite coming in first every match. At first I was mad but then I realized most of the people I'm teamed with are probably literal children trying to have fun with the splat fest. I'm sorry I'm not good enough to carry you little squids :(

The Booyah Rule still holds. In the past four games, I had three teams fail to Booyah back. Each lost by a margin of ~25-65. One team did Booyah back, and we won.

vvv Is that pro- or anti-coaster? :iiam: vvv
