The problem with this splatfest is that if most people are honest when they sign up for a side, you'll end up mostly fighting your own team.

Eh, only happened to me a couple of times. :v: And that might be because night owl is the popular team this go around. I imagine things'll be pretty even tomorrow.

Because despite multiple attempts to steer everyone away from a toxic conversation, too many goons felt the need to bring their opinion to the table.

This is a stupid theme. I know my sample isn't enough to tell for real but it feels like 80% picked Team Marie.

Which is wonderful, except I assume the goal is a roughly even split?

Managed to have some games against early birds, so its not completely one sided.

Its gotten to the point where nintendo had to actually make a statement in response to that poo poo. Its not going away no matter how much mods wish it would.

I think I ended up playing all of three games against Early Birds in my two hours of play. Granted, those two hours were in the middle of the night.

I was on a pretty well balanced team for a while, but alas network interruption. I should play some ranked and get my starting rank lowered I'm not maintaining 1600 anymore.

Team Early Bird was the right choice! All I am facing are Night Owls. Even if we lose, I am very glad that I have yet to face any brethren in battle.

That's how Nintendo seems to treat them, but no that's a hacked ink brush. They'd probably be usable in s+ rank if they were one hit kills on the charge.

I only made it up to the third rank, gave up after 4 matches in a row died from connection issues. Oh well, so I'll get slightly fewer seashells that I'll never use.

disconnected every 1 or 2 matches, matchmaking for night owls taking multiple minutes per match
i only went to champion
this one reminded me a lot of the older splatfests where youd struggle for hours to finish

also 7 points for a win now instead of 6? still 2 for a loss
id rather have 3 for a loss and 6 for a win

e: and the hacked gear is obnoxious everywhere too yes
i have to wear the ugly gear when i want to have strength or speed up and people are running around with the good outfits with full strength up on them, lagging to poo poo and using their lag hero weapons like the dynamos
the worse splatfest by far for prevalence of laggy players with lag hero weapons

I started off pretty badly myself but I got up to the mid 1600's. Also I did see one guy who was doing a weird hack where he was just shooting once directly in front of him, squidding and somehow: covering more turf than anyone one else and killing my teammates without seeming to ink anywhere near them.

I see what you mean. I actually quite enjoy it because base trades seem much more common, and I always find that fun in turf.
