Just one more thing!
I've been on team Pearl every time so far but I would have joined Marina for McNuggets if we had gotten that Splatfest. This time I had 21 wins, 7 losses and a highest Splatfest power of 2158 when I reached Flight Queen. Felt like I played well overall and had a fun time.

Made it to King in 37 matches total. 23 wins, 14 losses, final rating for 1924.

It was interesting how the matches against 1900 and 2000+ ranked teams were so much different. Lots of strategies I hadn't seen before in regular turf wars.

I love Marina because she's stylish and cute. Neither of these traits are derived from her boobies.

All I'm gonna say is I've seen some questionable Splatverse art in the square and it wasn't for Pearl.

Got to King after 38 matches, of which my team won 20. The last 10 or so matches were absurdly stressful, the kind of match where everyone you run into outclasses you and there's ALWAYS someone waiting for you wherever you go on the map and even when you actually get the drop on an Aerosprayer or something OH NO LOOK they had another teammate super close by and they double team you. But hey, made it in the end.

This was me in Splatoon 2 until I was reunited with my first love, the .52 Gal. I now respect the point sensor much more than I ever did in Wii U Splatoon... Splatoon U?

For real. Marking someone I can't really reach is just as good as shooting them myself cause generally someone else will

Pretty much. Since a lot of people have stopped playing (they hit their desired rank) the matchmaking is tossing high MMR into low MMR teams. You can carry a lot, but when the enemy team is at your MMR and your team is -200 it is pulling teeth.

I'm good for the splatfest. I'm sorry I let team invisibility down for 8 extra losses.

No, it's stupid things like the walkways on Port Mackarel that somehow were left largely bare. I can't cover both sides of the map. If I do, then the middle gets pushed in so hard the walkways (and the blocks between the walkways) are the only thing we'll have painted. As 2 holds 3 down mid map.

Look, if a carbon roller can't even paint the walkways what are they doing?

Anyway, whatever. Cue the old memes about wanting my Splatoon teams as my pallbearers, etc, etc.

I've been playing a new gun with splatfest, which was a terrible idea, but I love the bubble blower, especially using it when I'm facing someone who's seen me. Huge goofy bubbles block their shots and I can make a getaway. Haha, I beat you with something that looks silly, you should be ashamed

The bubble blower is a really insane special and I hope it gets added to a weapon I'm more comfortable with, or I may learn to love the splattershot pro.

How about you ink your spawn at the start of the match so the rest of your team can actually help you hold down the middle? You're talking as if you are somehow exempt from inking the blank areas of spawn.

That's what you do once you respawn—it's uncontested territory, so better to save it for a chance to build up special for free while you return to the fray.

Wow, you're singularly unpleasant and apparently illiterate. Go project your loust gameplay (and attitude) somewhere else.

Bingo. You build first special on the first approach to the front. Paint your pathway well, because most of it should be safe and you don't want to have to redo it. The spawn is an easy paint after a death before you jump into onto a teammate that's not in the middle of a firefight.

I think one hour from the end. Maybe two.

Whoops, I forgot there was one more rank after the 50 one. Oh well! Between last Splatfest and leveling, I still have like 25 snails I don't have any huge use for.
