Counterpoint: Team Raph didn't exactly have the cream of the crop either:

Edit: Bonus war crimes



Also had a round where my team collectively launched 10 ink rains. The enemy team has two snipers on it.

Are the sea snails available for pick up now or do I have to wait until all the splatfests are over?

You gotta wait a few hours until after it's over, not sure when exactly but when you log in Pearl and Marina will give the splatfest results and then you'll be good to go

edit: and normally you have plenty of time to pick up your rewards but I believe in this special case with back-to-back-to-back splatfests you'll need to do it before wednesday when the voting period for next weekend's fest starts

You'll have to wait until the results are revealed. That's a couple of hours after EU region finishes theirs.

I really enjoyed this Splatfest. I played quite a few rounds after hitting King. Normally by that point I’m completely burned out for the day. Didn’t get any huge highlights but I did appreciate this:

Kids, never run Bubble Blower without Object Shredder.

Enh, we kinda all knew (yes, yes anecdotal evidence is irrelevant in a large sample size etc) and I'm neither a huge Leonardo or Raphael fan but I like both Donatello and Michelangelo so basically I'm not going to care too hard until two weeks from now.

Imagine you're an adult and you want to win. Reading the meta, you know kids more often than not choose Marina, for whatever reason(s). So, you choose the opposite of the kiddos, so you can win more often.


Also this one has the added double bonus of Leo having a big ol' sword in his promo art. Kids love swords. You know this, so you choose the opposite.

Raph was always the least favorite among my group* of friends as a kid.

We were** all meganerds, though, so maybe it was because he reminded us of the bullies? IDK

Callie was loved way more than Marie, and Splatfest results reflected that.

What? Her teams were more frequently the less popular ones, and the less popular teams won more often in Splatoon 1. And even then, she lost to Marie in both categories in the final Splatfest.

The Splatfest meta is really:

Japan is Marina land.
Europe is Pearl's kingdom.
North America is chaos.

Flip a coin if you live in NA. Pick the respective idol when one of the other regions get involved, choose Marina if it's a global Splatfest (Because Japan's playerbase dwarfs the rest of the world's.)

He said Callie was more loved than Marie. Probably true as japanese children can't love.
