I scrubbed it after I used up enough shells yes. Might as use that one to roll over and over cause I'm not keeping it anyway. Which is why the Pic was sad. I'd have totally let that live as is.

Couldn't you do that on any 3 slot equipment? Scrubbing the splatfest shirt is nice because it doesn't take a boatload of money.

Well... I suppose that you want to use a super sea snail on a piece of gear that has a slightly higher chance of getting the ability chunks you want based on the brand. But it doesn't really matter I suppose.

I have like 70 sea snails I am never going to use. I should just dump them all onto a 3 slot piece of gear and get 210 ability chunks.

When you use a super shell you get all the existing tokens and they fully reload. I flushed it like 20 times and got 60 pieces

And that's great for gear that you don't lose after splatfest is over, but there's no reason to waste shells when scrubbing is so cheap.

edit: just saw your part after that, never mind

I never get a group that has that kind of coordination, 90% of the time I'm lucky if the person being chased doesn't kite the grillers directly into the rest of the group.

Rerolls don't take brand biases into account, so that's not a good way to farm for them.

I use most of my snails for rerolling. How often do you actually get a piece of equipment you really want that's missing slots?

There's a soft limit on them in that if you're not playing Splatfest, there's very little you can do to get them, so people tend to be conservative with them. Plus, a lot of people want to max out all the gear, and they keep releasing new gear, so we don't know how many we need

If you're grinding chunks, 1 star clothes take significantly less exp to level and cost less money to scrub.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Was trying to get full run speed boost on footwear, ended up with the navy longcoat with primary ink saver and three run speed boosts. Well, seems ideal for splatling gun?

This is partly false: Scrubbing costs the same regardless of star rating. The only exception is the Splatfest t-shirt, which costs only 2 000 in-game currency.

Same. Even though I was personally doing well, I probably only won 1/4 of my matches.

Hopefully team egg did well on team wins or else I think chicken has this one.

You should follow this thread more than rely on your so-called friend. I tend to post the schedules of the Splatfests of all regions. Better yet, check the schedule from SplatNet.

And looks like we'll have to wait for another hour for the results.

Strangely enough this thread is the most reliable place for Splatfest schedules and notifications. All other sites, including the wikis, are either never updated or just plain incorrect.

I don't have a switch.

I didn't have a wii-u.

I've read through this entire thread, from start to finish, over the last few months.

After that Octoling trailer, I'm pretty seriously considering dropping SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS (oh PS4 memes) on my first console since the PS2 (well, technically, since the original phat DS, counting handhelds), despite not even having a tv to play it on, something that even Bloodborne or MGS4 couldn't get me to do, despite being a huge DS/MGS fan.

Good news; your lack of TV doesn't affect your ability to play it :woomy:.

The only caveats being that the very good motion controls for Splatoon2 are slightly.... less good... in handheld mode.

It was obvious from the get-go that all the nice and boring people will pick the "right" answer instead of the more fun one, so of course they'd flock to that side. And nice people will follow silly rules like "ink the spawn", meaning they were destined to lose.
