Shoutouts to Kraminator, Frasier, and eddy for the beating we administered to Team Marshmallow, and special mention to Connection Error for putting an end to it. It was only a modest streak, but I'm glad to have been a part of it.

I joined Team Hot Dog a couple days ago. I haven't even launched the game today but I'm already kinda bummed about it. I haven't generally enjoyed either of the Splatfests I've been a part of for various reasons (a lot more disconnects than usual, only one song playing for the entirety of the event, one team always being totally lopsided in popularity rendering most of the games pointless, etc) but what's most disheartening is already knowing that just because I picked hot dogs I already set myself up for my third lost Splatfest in a row. :sigh:

I'll still load up the game later and play a few games. Maybe they fixed the disconnect issues. Maybe I'll have some tight, fun matches. I just gotta set myself up in the mindset of knowing that hot dogs sure as poo poo aren't going to win and to not think I'm making much of a difference.

Never give up, squiddo. Especially now that they've raised the match win ratio multiplier from two to four.

After wrecking some hotdoggers I was on a couple of lovely teams that got stomped and I was starting to get mad about it until I realized the last few matches had been against other fellow mallows.

Team Hot Dog returning from securing amiibos to splat some marshmallows.

How do I advance past level 20? I've finally reached Lv. 20 but the game won't let me level up any further.

Agent 3: "But what about how to think like an Inkling?"

Cuttlefish: "How to think like an Inkling? I can't teach you that. An Inkling needs to be strong in spirit, body, and technique - and the only thing you can learn from someone else is technique. In fact, technique doesn't even matter. What's most important is spirit. Spirit and body are like two sides of a single coin. They're the same thing. I can't teach you how to think. You'll just have to figure it out for yourself. Listen to me, Agent 3. Just because Inklings are on the same side right now doesn't mean they always will be. Having personal feelings about your comrades is one the worst sins you can commit. Splatfests determine who you face on the battlefield. And Splatfests are a living thing. They change along with the times. Yesterday's roller coaster may be tomorrow's hot dog."

I just hit Defender rank. I've won three matches. I've had entire teams not leave spawn, I've had entire teams spawn camped by two guys, I've had entire teams spawncamp an empty enemy spawn while they ran roughshod over our territory. The most absurd thing I've seen so far is a Blackbelly Skate Park match where my entire team (myself included) got spawn camped by a team who just kept inkstriking spawn. As soon as one was over, another was on its way. You couldn't leave spawn without getting hit by an inkstrike. I don't even know how they were charging their special meter. It went on for a full minute.

Get up on the walls (you have to go around the "backside," left when leaving spawn) and wreak havoc. Preferably the other team's walls. Don't forget to ink back there while you're at it.

there are multiple ways for the other team to approach your spawn point, so keep an eye on your map and make sure no one's sneaking past you. i nearly lost a match earlier because none of us noticed they were inking up our side until it was almost too late.

Just had a match where there was a guy standing in front of me, I splashed him with the roller twice point blank, ran him over and he just slowly turned around as I bumped into him and flicked a dynamo and killed me

The game rewards laggers by trusting their client when they say they got a kill even after the server knows they're already dead.

Someone in IRC told me the game has dedicated servers but everything I've seen from behaviour and the error messages suggests it uses a pretty permissive peer to peer model.

Edit: if it doesn't then it's garbage and they need to let laggers suffer like in the good old days

Its really more that their hitbox is somewhere else on the map because I had times where I was hitting a invisible squid and they exploded where they actually were standing.

Oh I thought you were describing a different type of situation, one that happens to me every Splatfest because of all the backwoods Americans I have to play against who are on like dialup or something.

The process is pretty easy, takes a few minutes and from there you can hop in and out of the Squad/Turf War/Private lobbies as you please. Probably good for those who want a break from Splatfest to make a Private Lobby to goof in.
