The red is kinda pink but it works.

Kinda? It's just the regular pink color.

Don't worry, team naughty is pretty bad too.

I don't think there's a clear majority this time, which is kinda nice.

Yeah I guess its just the lighting on one of the maps in splatfest mode that was making it look kinda reddish

Started the night off as a naughty fangirl, which just about made my night. Made it to smokin' and defender and called it until tomorrow. Took about 45 minutes or so. Teams seem to be about the same, skill wise. At least I thought so.

I'm convinced people don't take the splatling gun seriously. Why else would people insist on running around in my field of fire? Even if I don't hit them, I surround them in ink, which slows them down or distracts/confuses them long enough for me or my teammates to draw a bead on them. It's almost the same concept as the Aerosprays and buckets, but at longer range.

e: Only need 20k more points with the heavy splatling to supplant the Aerospray RG!

Dynamo roller seems kinda..

not good?

It's really good at killing in one hit from a surprisingly long distance. Try getting up on a wall and just flinging ink down on your enemies.

It's not that good as an actual roller. Being able to just run over inklings is fun, but usually not as practical as just tossing ink at them from medium range.

I never get disconnected as often I as have been today, and I think last splatfest was above average in that department too.

Aside from that, team naughty is unstoppable.

The new tri slosher is the perfect weapon. Before Splatfest started I got put into a team with three of them (including myself) and the enemy was echo'd the entire round. It was amazing.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

I dunno, me with a slosherDeco and 3 squids with Aerosprays were on a winning streak of like a dozen rounds for Team Nice. This game is great. Im only level 12 and still learning, but I must have gotten in a pretty good groove today. I mostly acted as a "holepunch" for the more competent guys on my team. Built up my special meter and then Pacman'd the gently caress out into the enemy's territory.

this happens every splatfest. everyone comes in saying "team x is owning/sucking" and forget that they are participating in only a teeny tiny sample size of rounds and for each of them there is someone on the opposite side having the same experience.

I do feel like there's less of a majority this time than previous splatfests though. We'll see at the end.

Uh. Servers completely down for everyone else? I was on a roll with Team Naughty then had a couple consecutive lost connections mid-match, and now when I walk into the lobby it hangs on "Connecting to the Internet..." and then an error code. Is this normal mid-Splatfest?

edit: nevermind, just got a connection. Looks like there's a hell of a lot of people on right now.

Yeah. I feel like it needs to be said every splatfest because it keeps coming up every splatfest, but it's basically impossible to predict these things from the ground. Just do your best and remember that win or lose, you get stuff. You get more stuff if you win, of course, but you still get stuff win or lose.

That said...I'm halfway through champ and I've lost to team nice maybe...once? Twice?

But the issues I've been having lately started long before the splatfest, its been all week. And I haven't had any issues in previous splatfests.

Man
I kept getting dropped earlier, then I got on a good team and after about a 10 game win streak without any of us dropping, I got disconnected in a lobby. 52 points away from Naughty King, but now I'm feeling like I won't get on a good team like that again and kind of want to just call it quits.

You gotta change your Mii's name in the user settings. It's kind of unusually hard to find. You'd think it would be in the Mii editor.
