hahaha mayonnaise runs this town bitches and bitchettes. we're paving the streets with sticky egg goop. taps run with hot or cold mayo. you shower in this poo poo now. soda fountains are mayo fountains. quarterly brain mayo injections are mandatory. the mayonnaise gestapo are going door-to-door inspecting barns for ketchup sympathisers. anyone found to be eating anything sans mayonnaise or mayonnaise-based sauces will be stoned to death with empty mayo jars. those allergic to eggs will have their names inscribed at inkopolis hall for their brave commitment to the king of lovely condiments after they suffocate from breathing mayo mist

Let's be real, these results were in the cointoss zone. There's no way a handful of Twitch streams gave you enough finely-tuned data to predict a 52/48 win.

Ok there are 4 of us, let's get in a room for team splatfest

Wait one can't join. Oh you picked mayonnaise. Ok I guess we can't play with you

Ok there are 3 of us

Wait I guess you can't join splatfest as a group of 3? Uhh ok

Try joining each other's games in progress? Wait this doesn't work what

I know it's fun to pick a side and all, but at what point can we just randomly assign people to a team so we can actually play the team games more often? I felt like 20% of my games were against Mayo, and that makes sense seeing the popular vote.

Seriously.

The last 3 Splatfests on the Wii U had a 1% difference, and the solo games on the Splatoon 2 demo had a 1% difference.

Not necessarily. Picking either team in a Splatfest is a huge gamble with the way the new scoring system works. Picking the minority team means that they have to win both categories (and the results on that were really close too) while the popular team only has to win one more, even if they're getting into matches with their own team most of the time.

And really, the only difference between a win or a loss is 3 Super Sea Snails at most, and you don't need those 3 snails that badly.

Yes, this was a huge disappointment. I couldn't get a group of 4 together to try it, and I couldn't join my friend with solo play. I guess the don't want people getting the advantage doing voice chat outside of the app?

There's nothing particularly competitive about a Splatfest other than it's a huge in game event. The final results have very little impact and it's meant to be more of a fun community thing.

Oh I am not calling it any kind of calculable result, Im just amazed based off general hearsay that Ketchup didn't get completely loving annihilated.

Everyone I played with, watched, and spoke to (on both teams) reported back 'gently caress me mayo is unstoppable'


I unironically report all furry artwork that is 'too weird' as inappropriate. I had some giant breasted Zebra girl telling me that FURRIES RULE, so had to make it go away before I saw it on a billboard in-game

4 of us were sitting in the same room together! If we had 5 people someone would have had to sit out anyway.

We ended up just doing local multiplayer salmon run. Also the local multi disconnects a weird amount, but I heard this was a known problem with switch games in general

Popularity has no bearing on win rate. Only matches that have both teams get counted, so it's a level playing field and there's no deficit to overcome.
