>Guy takes tentabrella >rushes my side of the map >fires his shield then follows it so you need two people to actually hit him >spams mines behind him >does this the entire match
I'm pretty sure every single splat I made during that match was him. I don't know what the frick he was thinking with this strategy. I'm genuinely confused since mines aren't that good even if you upgrade them to have a radius half the size of the brinewater ramps.
Splatfests are really fun in Splatoon 3. I am getting nostalgic for Splatoon 2 though, Shifty Stations as well as Pearl and Marina's banter was always a nice treat.
If you splat me from behind,when I don't see you, it's illegal,and it doesn't count. You cheated. You have to be in front of me when You want to engage

It actually got worse from Splat 1 to Splat 2/3, as they lowered an already low tickrate from 32hz on Wii U to 16hz on Switch. That means you're more likely to have these "phantom splats"
i'm tired of this delusion that the netcode in s1 is the best in the series. it really isn't.

It had an objectively better tickrate and that's not up for debate. 16hz is abyssmal for a modern shooter. It would be considered abyssmal for a classic shooter.

I really wish someone made a good splatoon clone game so I could move over to that instead of having to deal with splatoon's horrible online. I love the gameplay (crappy 3's maps aside), but I really hate how poor the online experience is. It ruins the game.
Uh, your Foamstars sir?
Here's the problem >good splatoon clone
There's not a single dev that is likely capable of making a good splatoon clone outside of these ones, unfortunately. The game is too whacky to be easily cloned. Whatever attempt ends up being made is going to get so many things wrong. It needs to go for a completely different aesthetic if it's going to be a clone and rather than swimming in ink, it can be gliding on some kind of...something. I dont know. But squid kids or foamstars or whawtever isn't going to work. It needs to have its own identity.
That being said after Foamstars flops I don't think anyone is going to attempt it. Splatoon is just too weird of a game to copy effectively. And the gameplay is tight, regardless of how shit the connectivity is. The core gameplay is very fun. The aesthetics are great, the music is great. And as stupid as splatfests is, they somehow get us to play them every time despite just being turf wars at night. It's pretty ingenius, I don't think another dev would be able to capture that same energy for better or worse.

Said it a million times, but splatoon being made by nintendo is both a blessing and curse. On one hand, nintendo are the only devs who could make a game like this with a great style and creative world, along with a core gameplay that’s unrivaled by anything else, but on the other hand, it’s an online shooter made by nintendo.
No one else but nintendo could make a game like this, but at the same time I wish it was anyone but nintendo who made it

All I can hope is that with the next system they've dialed down on the internet connectivity side of things.
The Switch was released in a time midway near the Wii U's life cycle. The hardware was already outdated by 2017 and almost 7 years later it's really showing. There are many signs that the switch itself as a console was rushed out as soon as possible to help save the company with the blunder of Wii U and the 3DS not meeting the heights of its predecessor. Many people expected the Switch to be another outright failure. Conversely, Splatoon 2 was a launch window title and only had two years of development time since the last game, so it was also rushed out the door.
Since they're not in a rush to release the next console, hopefully more R&D went towards it and they listened to people on the network side of things. Including an ethernet port in the OLED dock is a sign they are moving towards that direction. I have my expectations low, but I expect at least on a hardware level for things to improved a little bit. And Nintendo is behind with their netcode but they are learning, albeit slowly.

Nah I don't think that's going to happen again. We already had this discussion but Tears of the Kingdom was done for a year+ before they released it. They've been sitting on finished games. Many people expect that rather than a new console they were just going to release an upgraded switch but then the lockdown and chip shortage happened. I think they've had more than enough time to get their ducks in a row since then and you can tell they're rolling out titles easily now. The next console is likely going to be another hybrid and that will essentially guarantee its success. Wii U was a failure for more than just its console. Nintendo have outright said they know how bad they fricked up with the Wii U and they're looking into every way to try and prevent that from happening again. They're going to play it safe this time.

High chance that it's going to have backwards compatibility. It's only third parties like Ubisoft and Take Two who are saying they don't think it should have backwards compat for profitability concerns, but they have no actual say in the matter.

No, that was not playing it fricking safe man. They made a new console with a strange tablet controller that was integrated with the entire system, that jacked up the price of the console extremely high. The Wii U was not a safe console. When I say safe, I mean they're releasing another hybrid tablet without any extraordinary gimmicks. Expect upgraded joycons at most. We're not in the Iwata era anymore, for better or worse.
The Wii U happened because Nintendo got way too complacent after the Wii. Fujikawa has outright said they're terrified of another Wii U happening.

I'm of the belief that this hybrid console is the smartest design choice they've made in a long time. If it aint broke, don't fix it. They don't need to reinvent the wheel here.

The Wii U was literally an 'upgraded' Wii that featured the dual-screen gimmick carried over from the DS as one console. It was too safe, the Wii U should've been the Switch form the start.

>It was too safe
No it fricking wasn't man. That's not a normal console to tie everything to this huge gimmicky tablet. People genuinely thought it was an add on to the Wii and the branding didn't help with that either. But the Wii U was not safe by any means, it was a weird and experimental design for a console, one of Nintendo's weirdest yet. It makes Gamecube look tame in comparison. Having an expensive tablet be part of the system itself drove up prices another $100+. Wii was cheap in comparison. Wii U was very expensive at the time and didn't provide the power upgrade that other consoles were offering. The Wii was innovative. The Wii U tried to innovate on that further but just missed the mark. The Wii U was essentially the prototype for the Switch, which was a more refined, realized version. Having a tablet that's locked to the system that can't even play portable is just a bad design man, and I loved the Wii U. But it's anything but a safe design for a console.

Wii U WAS too safe because they didn't go all the way - Switch is the concept fully realized, Wii U was half-baked as they took their existing tech at the time and tried to tack on the tablet to it. They even piggy-backed off the Wii-era branding and marketing style. Even the UI of the Wii U was extremely similar to the Wii, even if it was technically a new operating system it borrowed a lot of assets. The Wii U may have had more success if its design aesthetic and branding distanced itself from the Wii as much as possible (whilst still retaining much of its backwards compatibility)

I think both of you are right but for different reasons. It's easy to call the Switch what the WiiU "should" have been (to some extent it is) but let's be real, the Switch would've fricking sucked back in 2011. The battery life would've been pathetic. People seem to forget that the Wii U's tablet was little more than an extension to the Wii U itself, rather than a dedicated device in of itself. You can't even use the Wii U on without having the tablet present (ignoring homebrew ofc) and I think that was a major factor in the console's unpopularity. If your tablet broke or malfunctioned, you were just fricked. I have no idea why Nintendo didn't sell replacement tablets, let alone just allowed the console to be turned on with a normal controller or a Wiimote.

Making a turn-based RPG is going to be worlds easier than making a tight, online multiplayer shooter focused around mobility and other strange mechanics.
It's still considered a bottom tier weapon even with that in mind. Annaki nova is mid-tier despite being a shooter with inkjet. A slight buff to the weapon isn't going to make it overtake say, ballpoint.
>jr >not cancerous
it can't kill shit as is and if you die to bombs git gud, vanilla even has a nonspecial >easiest inkjet spam weapon in the game
that's ballpoint
nova as is is completely garbage, all it fricking needs is dual squelcher stats copypasted onto it
As much as people complain about it inkjet has terrible synergy with ballpoint. It's best used right next to the enemy backliner so you can take weird flank routes and get the drop on people, which is a place ballpoint almost never is. Whenever ballpoint uses it, you just stop doing your job for about 10 seconds. Give me inkzooka or inkstorm for ballpoint any day.
Nova would be fine with buffs but I think giving jr anything would be too far, having a mediocre main weapon with amazing kits is what jr is known for.
I rather like it more than some of the other tricolor maps. The only issue I had was once a good player spawn camped my side the entire time, but that's something built into Eeltail's design anyway so can't really fault the tricolor stage. I feel like Barnacle and Dime is probably the worst one.
What pisses me off is that this game already borrows heavily from 2. I mean many of the specials in the game are just reused from 2. Most of the gear in this game is from 2. The entire game's identity is allegedley a continuation of a splatfest from 2. If Order are getting an entire DLC, Chaos technically got an entire game. But really, this is just Pearl and Marina the DLC, when really we should be learning more about Deep Cut or our smallfry. Pearl and Marina already got a DLC in their own game, and now they're getting another DLC here while the current idols get shafted, it's stupid.
Tbh would anyone want the DLC to be about Deep Cut and more of nu agent 3? Deep Cut got almost nothing going for them and what more could you even do with smallfry?
People on the other hand love Off The Hook for what they gave us in OE and delving more into Agent 8 is a great idea given the journey we went on with her and we still got plenty more we could learn about her, especially with that stylistic teaser trailer. But yea, let’s give the worst idols an entire $25 DLC to waste, fantastic idea.
They had their stage banter which lended to their characterization. Plus you had to watch it every time you booted up, no skipping.
Deep Cut had to get that added in an update, and it wasn’t even mentioned. And even then you can easily skip over it, only being forced to when splatfest’s start and end. Plus they had their characterization in the story mode (which is more than OtH got) and, to no ones surprise, it did basically nothing for them. They had their chance, and they turned out to suck. Now how about instead we get some actual GOOD idols.

>If Order are getting an entire DLC, Chaos technically got an entire game.
Not really. There's the desert theme that shows up right at the beginning of the campaign and thats it. Is there even anything else that's chaos themed?
Well the idols this time around ended up being antagonists and each got their own boss fights. But beyond them, the rest of Alterna seems more like it's Order-themed.
to further rub it in chaostard faces
too bad it will suck, else chaostards would get absolutely nothing other than a pyrrhic victory off a rigged splatfest
Because it was always going to revolve around Off the Hook because of how insanely popular they are, so they might as well prey on one of Marina's biggest fears, Pearl leaving her, and that was also her big thing with the Chaos vs Order fight.
It's not a coincidence that that's also why Marina brings up Pearl randomly disappearing for a few days and "a world of order' in the Splatune 3 interview.
Do many people even play this game any more? I hate to say this, but each Splatoon sequel feels like they've either barely changed anything or changed things for the worse. The lore stuff is still great and the games look better with each one, but I just find playing 3 a slog with the constant disconnects, stupid rotation system, lack of new modes, and maps with the same layouts. I'm tired, bros. Splatoon 1 was so innovative..
Loved the first two but just feels like a chore to me, STILL haven't even bothered with the single player despite liking all of the previous ones, especially Octo Expansion.
You actively haven't played half the content even though you recognise it being a part you liked previously.
You've chosen to do this and complain how the other parts of the game are a chore that you've, again, chosen to do.
I like Pearl but c'mon, her whole thing is just "loud rich girl", the other idols have way more going on in terms of depth and personality. Even Marina herself showed a lot of sides to her and made some hilarious/questionable comments quite some times.
I'm starting to accept the fact that since the maps are heavily biased in favor of long ranged weapons, I should be using them a lot more. I win a lot more, get more splats, and die a lot less.
I feel the opposite, a lot of the time in tw I get shit on the hardest by high maneuverability short range weapons like octobrush who know how to get in your base and waste time.
Well yeah course a good inkbrush player will rush in and wreck your shit, but generally I'm a lot more successful at the game. In certain game modes I also prefer to use closer ranged weapons because it sucks when you're backlining for people who are playing too conservatively.

For me it's the N-zap >Can turf well >Can be surprisingly offensive when necessary due to good accuracy and decent range, lightweight movement, making it more dangerous than an Aerospray/JR but still comparable turf output >Has a bomb >Shits out tacticoolers, which keeps timmies in the game but allows a good team to become even more dominant
I think to really dominate in turf wars, you need a weapon that can do more than just turf well. I've lost so many fights where we all had +10 KO ratios but because nobody could turf well the stupid aerogays reclaimed all the area in the final seconds anyway.
I think there's a reason Reeflux is extremely powerful for turf wars as well. It's ability to shit out turf is unrivaled, missiles are great for the mode as well. It can survive better due to the chaotic nature. Between N-Zap and Flux I generally do not lose Turf wars. N-Zap is nice though because I can fight better and tacticoolers are just so damn good. If I had an ideal Turf wars team it would probably consist of say an Nzap/Trislosh nouveau, Reeflux, something preferably with some range but can still turf well like a splatling (nautilus, mini, heavy, ballpoint literally any would be good so long as the user is good), and then last slot's not so important but just a regular old splattershot would do the trick.
Yeah I agree but I make an exception for the Reeflux. In Koshien, the jap turf wars team, literally every winning team had a Reeflux on it for a reason. It may not be the most useful in anarchy modes but it really shines in turf due to the spread out nature of the map and its pure turf output.
I think even an Aerogay can be effective in turf wars, I've seen it many times before. It all depends on the user. That being said, Reeflux is surprisingly potent offensively if your aim is right, especially after the buffs it received. You're not going to be rushing people down with the weapon but if they try and come at you they may be in for trouble.
Now yes webm related is literally just timmies. A more skilled team would have smoked me. But that's why you have other more offensive options backing you up. You need both turf and killing, but if one of your mates can turf extremely well it outweighs the killing aspect if your team is on top of it. I would still want my slayers with guns that can turf well though.
I've only had one tri-battle that wasn't a mirror match and I'd rather leave it at one win than have to defend that nightmare again.
What do you use for making webms? I just got a SD card reader, and would like to start converting some of my clips
You don't necessarily need an SD card.
It's no doubt more effort but I took clips from the album, sent them to my phone and then uploaded it to a google drive so I could download it on my PC and convert.
it's both
if you can't kill but can ink you get aerogay where you swat the minor nuisance and retake all his work in seconds assuming it even goes past camping on passages to mid
if you can kill but can't ink you get bwasters which aren't relevant unless entire enemy team is so shit it gets locked in spawn
both are needed

EVERY tricolor match is some fricking Black person unable to do fricking SHIT so lovegays always win
even in mirrors whoever is purple team wins
this is fricking bullshit
That's how you win. You play the objective after you've murdered the entire team. Depends on the mode though, some require a bit more coordination like clams or rainmaker. Sometimes in those two someone can sneak by and cause a lot of trouble without support from the team

Reminder though Big Run offers double scales so make sure you don't miss the next one
A new design might be asking for a bit much
I'm expecting some weirder color variations of the ones we got. The reason we got the old suits is simply asset reuse imo.

Pro controller is the default Splat controller. Joycons too flimsy and the gyroscope in third parties is not as reliable. I've had two pro controllers, one with a ton of usage that just started to drift after 5 years. If I cleaned it out and put on some contact cleaner it would be fine but I'm just using my other one which is working no issues.
If you're playing docked anything, get a pro controller.
The joycons are built for being compact, detachable, able to be used as handhelds or as a small remote for short minigame sessions in Mario Kart or Mario Party or something, not for ergonomics or comfort.
I unironically play the best with handheld mode, it's the closest to Splat 1's holding the entire Wii U gamepad. I feel that using gyro like that is way more intuitive and I get more kills/evade better.
detached joycons are the best for comfort and aiming. disregard pro controller scammers trying to trick you into wasting 70 dollars for a malfunctioning dpad
So what’s going on here are fame and money just not queuing tri battles? It shouldn’t be sn option pro mode should pug everyone into a tri battle and open should match groups but you shouldn’t be able to dodge it
Money barely exists outside of open, Fame doesn't leave Pro. The game tries to incentivize people to play tricolor of their own will by making it count separately from the other categories in the final tally but there's only so much you can when it's very possible Love has a supermajority of players. I have literally never played any tricolor match that wasn't a mirror fight in the five hours I'd attempted it.

If your job rewards you with stock options, no. Your job is your life then, and loving it doesn't hurt.
But since all you get from Grizz is gacha pulls, then yea.
First version of Tricolors was basically a "frick the winning team" system and was too overcranked of a comeback system so the winning team would deliberately avoid it. So then they just changed it so that tricolor counts as a separate part of the splatfest score, and also any combination of the three teams can be attacking and defending.
Really if they're going to be doing 3-way categories they need to think up more actually competitive categories. Shit like Gear/Grub/Fun or Vanilla/Strawberry/Mint is like they're just deliberately feeding to one team.
>they're just deliberately feeding to one team.
yes that's splatfests for you
If your job rewards you with stock options, no. Your job is your life then, and loving it doesn't hurt.

I could only muster up the willpower to get to Defender. I think Im kinda done with this game, but I can't really complain if I got 600 hours out of it. I'll be back for Big Run and the DLC.
>can only stomach playing for 2 hours >thinks the DLC will fix that
Just put the game down forever anon, you are neither kid nor squid.
You are released from your cephalopodian obligations.
Go and be free.
They should rework the old shifty stations into 2+2v4 normal turf war with the fun gimmicks that came along with them and don't make it an option to play it or not. The way they designed Tricolor battles has also been so unintuitive and convoluted.
but you gays told me z+f literally only exists as catalogue rewards?
and you cannot order the old catalogue gear still which is not a thing with shop gear?
yes they can, as in every other splatfest big man gays spam missiles on everyone they can then steal the signals
and if defending they don't have to do much considering fryegays sit huffing ink in the corner
Fryegays really are the most braindead players. I played a tricolor match where all the did was run to mid and get splatted by me. They never inked their spawn and that left 3 of my teammates to spawncamp love.
No way in hell Money wins pro and tri, I've never faced a bigger shitter team in any Splatfest, the stomping is such that it almost makes me feel bad for them.
I'm on Team Love and am pretty average at the game, but I have been winning the majority of my matches which I feel like is a very good sign Love is going to sweep everything except maybe Conches. Of course with the nonstop mirror matches I've mostly been beating my own team so I could be wrong.
Yea, my proposition on that was lowering the snail count for upgrading gear past 2* to 3/4/5 instead of 5/10/20.
Gives a cheaper option of paying a few shells instead of something like 50,000+ cash to improve your fav gear (and not shilling 36 shells for 5*’ing amiibo/grizzco gear)

Ive never once gone to join st/ink/ during any event. If anything it’s you gays shitting up our threads and you’re proof of that right now. You freaks just cant be happy that there’s a separate splatoon pool than your stinkhole and you want everything merged under one roof. It’s not gonna happen. Your actions have ensured I will never join your incestuous pool. >b-but the good players come and play in your pool sometimes
I have no problem with that so long as they dont act like attention seeking homosexuals who want to stir up drama. Nobody needs to know where you’re from. Just play the game. Dont ask, dont tell, let’s stick with that. But you guys always have to make it about /vg/. We dont care, stay in your threads if they’re so great. We never wanted you here.

Are you a player who doesn't use motion controls by any chance? Because those who opt for sticks only are literally subhuma- subcephalopod and are factually proven to be held back considerably by their inputs.

No I use motion controls, -3 for gyro aiming and 3.5 for the right analog stick.

That gyro is pretty low. I'm at 4 gyro 5 stick. Lower sensitivity doesn't feel like it matches the speed that I move the controller and it throws me off bad.

I tried going into the positive, but that just made aiming a nightmare. I usually just want to fine tune the aim so I prefer lower gyro. I use the nunchucks though because I can’t gyro aim with the pro controller for some reason.

Eh, I guess I'll play. If for no other reason, than to enjoy my pink veemo for just a bit more until they take it away. Love really did have the nicest color this time around. I want to snuggle her so bad. Actually, before it ends I should probably take some pictures.
I really need to just check out the town more often during splatfest. All the food carts, open stalls, concert projections. Shit's a lot of fun, I enjoy this. Even pearlwoomy isn't here to ruin things. Can't find little buddy, though, which is concerning.
Why the frick not, probably be way better than randos.

Not sure if there are levels of sparkles to tell if they're more or less coordinated than just one brand or character aspect.

GOD FRICKING DAMN IT, and after all that work. I saw that one worthless motherfricker constantly hiding, not doing anything. Piece of shit.
My shitternet has been out for two hours which is odd but whatever. Got to Ruler +4 and won multiple 10xs, along with basically a 2 to 1 win ratio for the entire fest so I did my part
They need that 500 clout bonus even if it costs us both the match
Also, they get a multiplier when attacking while love doesn't so it behooves them to steal it from love even more
I had to stand on the other side of the signal and jump on the spot to get the others to recognise I wasn't a threat.
Killed them after they won the signal for wasting my time.
who said anything about letting defenders win? I can do that without your homosexual input or even better off without your input at all as you seething homosexuals attack the opposite team more than defenders
Where the FRICK were you guys? Were was everybody? Why were the constantly in our spawn? The only areas on the map I saw inked at the end was where I was.

It should remove a few shells per DC at the end of the fest. If you end up with 0 then you miss the next event.
They also shouldn't be informed this will happen until the point they would redeem the shells.
they should also be publicly shamed. Like with the x100/333 winning announcements. "Loves2Splooge" cost team love a loss due to leaving the match early. How shameful."

I'm pretty sure every single splat I made during that match was him. I don't know what the frick he was thinking with this strategy. I'm genuinely confused since mines aren't that good even if you upgrade them to have a radius half the size of the brinewater ramps.
Splatfests are really fun in Splatoon 3. I am getting nostalgic for Splatoon 2 though, Shifty Stations as well as Pearl and Marina's banter was always a nice treat.
Don't worry, I've spent the past three rotations feeding Team Money in Pro.
Man I really should have jumped on this SR rotation when it started. Freelance is more than useless than normal. Can't even clear wave 3.

i'm tired of this delusion that the netcode in s1 is the best in the series. it really isn't.
It had an objectively better tickrate and that's not up for debate. 16hz is abyssmal for a modern shooter. It would be considered abyssmal for a classic shooter.
>It had an objectively better tickrate
yeah true doesn't mean it's better though go back and play the game and you'll see that the netcode doesn't hold up all that well compared to 2 and 3
only if they port it

So sick of matches against timmy on mcdonald's wifi where on my screen I die to nothing. 8 years, 3 fricking games in this series and the networking is still dogshit.
It actually got worse from Splat 1 to Splat 2/3, as they lowered an already low tickrate from 32hz on Wii U to 16hz on Switch. That means you're more likely to have these "phantom splats"
Trust me, I'm well aware anon. been into this series since 1, still got my physical copy of it.
It's a crime that Nintendo has us pay for this garbage online service that's worse than what it was for free
I really wish someone made a good splatoon clone game so I could move over to that instead of having to deal with splatoon's horrible online. I love the gameplay (crappy 3's maps aside), but I really hate how poor the online experience is. It ruins the game.
Uh, your Foamstars sir?
Here's the problem
>good splatoon clone
There's not a single dev that is likely capable of making a good splatoon clone outside of these ones, unfortunately. The game is too whacky to be easily cloned. Whatever attempt ends up being made is going to get so many things wrong. It needs to go for a completely different aesthetic if it's going to be a clone and rather than swimming in ink, it can be gliding on some kind of...something. I dont know. But squid kids or foamstars or whawtever isn't going to work. It needs to have its own identity.
That being said after Foamstars flops I don't think anyone is going to attempt it. Splatoon is just too weird of a game to copy effectively. And the gameplay is tight, regardless of how shit the connectivity is. The core gameplay is very fun. The aesthetics are great, the music is great. And as stupid as splatfests is, they somehow get us to play them every time despite just being turf wars at night. It's pretty ingenius, I don't think another dev would be able to capture that same energy for better or worse.
Said it a million times, but splatoon being made by nintendo is both a blessing and curse. On one hand, nintendo are the only devs who could make a game like this with a great style and creative world, along with a core gameplay that’s unrivaled by anything else, but on the other hand, it’s an online shooter made by nintendo.
No one else but nintendo could make a game like this, but at the same time I wish it was anyone but nintendo who made it
All I can hope is that with the next system they've dialed down on the internet connectivity side of things.
The Switch was released in a time midway near the Wii U's life cycle. The hardware was already outdated by 2017 and almost 7 years later it's really showing. There are many signs that the switch itself as a console was rushed out as soon as possible to help save the company with the blunder of Wii U and the 3DS not meeting the heights of its predecessor. Many people expected the Switch to be another outright failure. Conversely, Splatoon 2 was a launch window title and only had two years of development time since the last game, so it was also rushed out the door.
Since they're not in a rush to release the next console, hopefully more R&D went towards it and they listened to people on the network side of things. Including an ethernet port in the OLED dock is a sign they are moving towards that direction. I have my expectations low, but I expect at least on a hardware level for things to improved a little bit. And Nintendo is behind with their netcode but they are learning, albeit slowly.
>Since they're not in a rush to release the next console
they already had to delay it a year and release all its launch titles on basic switch, it's going to be wiiu tier bad
>Wii U tier bad
Nah I don't think that's going to happen again. We already had this discussion but Tears of the Kingdom was done for a year+ before they released it. They've been sitting on finished games. Many people expect that rather than a new console they were just going to release an upgraded switch but then the lockdown and chip shortage happened. I think they've had more than enough time to get their ducks in a row since then and you can tell they're rolling out titles easily now. The next console is likely going to be another hybrid and that will essentially guarantee its success. Wii U was a failure for more than just its console. Nintendo have outright said they know how bad they fricked up with the Wii U and they're looking into every way to try and prevent that from happening again. They're going to play it safe this time.
>The next console is likely going to be another hybrid and that will essentially guarantee its success.
we already know it will be switch but with not decade old hardware
yet somehow despite them sitting on finished games a delay still happened and now switch 2 is guaranteed a crappy launch where everyone wonders why they have to rebuy the 2022-2023 games for $70
>and now switch 2 is guaranteed a crappy launch where everyone wonders why they have to rebuy the 2022-2023 games for $70
High chance that it's going to have backwards compatibility. It's only third parties like Ubisoft and Take Two who are saying they don't think it should have backwards compat for profitability concerns, but they have no actual say in the matter.
why do you think israelites at nu nintendo will give you upgraded versions for free and not have to look at blurry as shit 720p until you pay up?
>They're going to play it safe this time
Shorthand for “why even try something new when what we have is good enough?” So much for creativity, now we’ll just get more of the same
>They're going to play it safe this time.
Playing it safe is exactly what caused the Wii U to happen anon...
No, that was not playing it fricking safe man. They made a new console with a strange tablet controller that was integrated with the entire system, that jacked up the price of the console extremely high. The Wii U was not a safe console. When I say safe, I mean they're releasing another hybrid tablet without any extraordinary gimmicks. Expect upgraded joycons at most. We're not in the Iwata era anymore, for better or worse.
The Wii U happened because Nintendo got way too complacent after the Wii. Fujikawa has outright said they're terrified of another Wii U happening.
I'm of the belief that this hybrid console is the smartest design choice they've made in a long time. If it aint broke, don't fix it. They don't need to reinvent the wheel here.
The Wii U was literally an 'upgraded' Wii that featured the dual-screen gimmick carried over from the DS as one console. It was too safe, the Wii U should've been the Switch form the start.
>It was too safe
No it fricking wasn't man. That's not a normal console to tie everything to this huge gimmicky tablet. People genuinely thought it was an add on to the Wii and the branding didn't help with that either. But the Wii U was not safe by any means, it was a weird and experimental design for a console, one of Nintendo's weirdest yet. It makes Gamecube look tame in comparison. Having an expensive tablet be part of the system itself drove up prices another $100+. Wii was cheap in comparison. Wii U was very expensive at the time and didn't provide the power upgrade that other consoles were offering. The Wii was innovative. The Wii U tried to innovate on that further but just missed the mark. The Wii U was essentially the prototype for the Switch, which was a more refined, realized version. Having a tablet that's locked to the system that can't even play portable is just a bad design man, and I loved the Wii U. But it's anything but a safe design for a console.
Wii U WAS too safe because they didn't go all the way - Switch is the concept fully realized, Wii U was half-baked as they took their existing tech at the time and tried to tack on the tablet to it. They even piggy-backed off the Wii-era branding and marketing style. Even the UI of the Wii U was extremely similar to the Wii, even if it was technically a new operating system it borrowed a lot of assets. The Wii U may have had more success if its design aesthetic and branding distanced itself from the Wii as much as possible (whilst still retaining much of its backwards compatibility)
I think both of you are right but for different reasons. It's easy to call the Switch what the WiiU "should" have been (to some extent it is) but let's be real, the Switch would've fricking sucked back in 2011. The battery life would've been pathetic. People seem to forget that the Wii U's tablet was little more than an extension to the Wii U itself, rather than a dedicated device in of itself. You can't even use the Wii U on without having the tablet present (ignoring homebrew ofc) and I think that was a major factor in the console's unpopularity. If your tablet broke or malfunctioned, you were just fricked. I have no idea why Nintendo didn't sell replacement tablets, let alone just allowed the console to be turned on with a normal controller or a Wiimote.
>I have no idea why Nintendo didn't sell replacement tablets
The tablets were too expensive to produce, they were the reason the console was sold at a loss at launch.
Times were still diferent when wii u was getting developed in 2008. smartphones were still potatoes, portable SoC's sucked dick until nvidia shield in 2013. at the time you could still feasibly believe that a living room console that didn't steal the tv was a decent incentive.
I remember a random Ganker gamedev thread where a guy was showing designs he intended to use for a Splatoon clone. It was vampires who turn into bats and swim in blood. I'm pretty sure it was just going to be single player though.
>>I remember a random Ganker gamedev thread where a guy was showing designs he intended to use for a Splatoon clone
So it will never get made, gotcha
Bug fables was some random Ganker gay too and it was okay
Making a turn-based RPG is going to be worlds easier than making a tight, online multiplayer shooter focused around mobility and other strange mechanics.
>uhhh we want people to use less used shooters!
>buff every cancerous one
>do literally nothing for jr and nova
why are devs such Black folk?
>jr
>not cancerous
>Annaki nova
>not the easiest inkjet spam weapon in the game right now
But anon he wants to be MORE cancerous.
That being said I think Nova could use a buff, seeing as how vanilla nova is just a pointless weapon to use.
Vanilla nova can be pretty good if you abuse opening gambit/sub sensor spam but that only really applies to ranked and maybe some tri color maps.
It's still considered a bottom tier weapon even with that in mind. Annaki nova is mid-tier despite being a shooter with inkjet. A slight buff to the weapon isn't going to make it overtake say, ballpoint.
>jr
>not cancerous
it can't kill shit as is and if you die to bombs git gud, vanilla even has a nonspecial
>easiest inkjet spam weapon in the game
that's ballpoint
nova as is is completely garbage, all it fricking needs is dual squelcher stats copypasted onto it
As much as people complain about it inkjet has terrible synergy with ballpoint. It's best used right next to the enemy backliner so you can take weird flank routes and get the drop on people, which is a place ballpoint almost never is. Whenever ballpoint uses it, you just stop doing your job for about 10 seconds. Give me inkzooka or inkstorm for ballpoint any day.
>inkzooka for ballpoint
no frick you
Nova would be fine with buffs but I think giving jr anything would be too far, having a mediocre main weapon with amazing kits is what jr is known for.
Bros. Shiver saw me splatting. All of the splats.
She saw it all. Watching.
You do know they have the idols pre-recorded those messages right? Only thing they say live are names.
Shut the frick up, my queen would never lie like that.
What’s the worst Tricolor map, and why is it Eeltail? it’s because my teammates don’t even bother to defend the signal
Eeltail is definitely one of the worst tricolors so far.
There's a lot of reasons why it doesn't work as a tricolor stage, but to keep it brief let's just say that it wasn't designed with Tricolor in mind.
undertow was pretty bad too
Undertow was way easier to get up to the signal. This map is absolute ass in that regard
I rather like it more than some of the other tricolor maps. The only issue I had was once a good player spawn camped my side the entire time, but that's something built into Eeltail's design anyway so can't really fault the tricolor stage. I feel like Barnacle and Dime is probably the worst one.
So why exactly are the loser ordergays getting an entire DLC?
What pisses me off is that this game already borrows heavily from 2. I mean many of the specials in the game are just reused from 2. Most of the gear in this game is from 2. The entire game's identity is allegedley a continuation of a splatfest from 2. If Order are getting an entire DLC, Chaos technically got an entire game. But really, this is just Pearl and Marina the DLC, when really we should be learning more about Deep Cut or our smallfry. Pearl and Marina already got a DLC in their own game, and now they're getting another DLC here while the current idols get shafted, it's stupid.
To be fair, Pearl and Marina got shafted in their own game until the DLC came out. Deep Cut got a whole lot more love in 3 in comparison.
Tbh would anyone want the DLC to be about Deep Cut and more of nu agent 3? Deep Cut got almost nothing going for them and what more could you even do with smallfry?
People on the other hand love Off The Hook for what they gave us in OE and delving more into Agent 8 is a great idea given the journey we went on with her and we still got plenty more we could learn about her, especially with that stylistic teaser trailer. But yea, let’s give the worst idols an entire $25 DLC to waste, fantastic idea.
uhh you do realise OTH had nothing going for them until dlc and then you ask if people would want a dlc that does the fricking same for deep cut?
They had their stage banter which lended to their characterization. Plus you had to watch it every time you booted up, no skipping.
Deep Cut had to get that added in an update, and it wasn’t even mentioned. And even then you can easily skip over it, only being forced to when splatfest’s start and end. Plus they had their characterization in the story mode (which is more than OtH got) and, to no ones surprise, it did basically nothing for them. They had their chance, and they turned out to suck. Now how about instead we get some actual GOOD idols.
wowee moronic fricking gremlin and her faithful slave, great fricking customisation
>Plus you had to watch it every time you booted up, no skipping.
you mean mash A and ignore that dumb window, like everyone ever did
At least it was SOMETHING people could latch onto over Deep Cut’s nothing. Not like they’d cram in their whole backstory. All you got from Deep Cut was just some archetypes, but nothing more.
>cute spoiled brat rapping white e-girl and her big insecure super-smart choco goddess dj gf

back to st/ink/ pedo
>If Order are getting an entire DLC, Chaos technically got an entire game.
Not really. There's the desert theme that shows up right at the beginning of the campaign and thats it. Is there even anything else that's chaos themed?
game being a chaotic mess of moronic decisions lmao
Well the idols this time around ended up being antagonists and each got their own boss fights. But beyond them, the rest of Alterna seems more like it's Order-themed.
The entire hub, Splatsville is supposed to represent chaos.
the hub is just hong kong
to further rub it in chaostard faces
too bad it will suck, else chaostards would get absolutely nothing other than a pyrrhic victory off a rigged splatfest
Good taste always wins in the end
>get the dlc
>dlc story will be much better than basegame story
Because we won.
Because it was always going to revolve around Off the Hook because of how insanely popular they are, so they might as well prey on one of Marina's biggest fears, Pearl leaving her, and that was also her big thing with the Chaos vs Order fight.
It's not a coincidence that that's also why Marina brings up Pearl randomly disappearing for a few days and "a world of order' in the Splatune 3 interview.
>someone this smart being so dependent on literal who which happened to be the one she met first
why are japs like this?
Do many people even play this game any more? I hate to say this, but each Splatoon sequel feels like they've either barely changed anything or changed things for the worse. The lore stuff is still great and the games look better with each one, but I just find playing 3 a slog with the constant disconnects, stupid rotation system, lack of new modes, and maps with the same layouts. I'm tired, bros. Splatoon 1 was so innovative..
Loved the first two but just feels like a chore to me, STILL haven't even bothered with the single player despite liking all of the previous ones, especially Octo Expansion.

When will you learn that Pearl has the best personality of any of the idols.
I don't hate pearl, she's just middle-of-the-road at best.
rich spoiled shit isn't "personality" but not like mutts will ever understand
Obsessed
I like Pearl but c'mon, her whole thing is just "loud rich girl", the other idols have way more going on in terms of depth and personality. Even Marina herself showed a lot of sides to her and made some hilarious/questionable comments quite some times.
I love goooooooooolllllllllld
Money bros how we doin?
frick i forgot about this
did love win? I voted for love
There's still 6 hours left in the fest. Love was winning at half time, money won conchs. Fame is nonexistent
Any of you money bros making an open on the rotation? Trying to find a 100x, got two of those 10x win clam things so I think we can find one
imagine joining the pool but playing SOLO
just leave and stop flooding the notifications tab with your solo playing ass
God these maps are FRICKING SHIT
I'm starting to accept the fact that since the maps are heavily biased in favor of long ranged weapons, I should be using them a lot more. I win a lot more, get more splats, and die a lot less.
I feel the opposite, a lot of the time in tw I get shit on the hardest by high maneuverability short range weapons like octobrush who know how to get in your base and waste time.
Well yeah course a good inkbrush player will rush in and wreck your shit, but generally I'm a lot more successful at the game. In certain game modes I also prefer to use closer ranged weapons because it sucks when you're backlining for people who are playing too conservatively.
For me it's the N-zap
>Can turf well
>Can be surprisingly offensive when necessary due to good accuracy and decent range, lightweight movement, making it more dangerous than an Aerospray/JR but still comparable turf output
>Has a bomb
>Shits out tacticoolers, which keeps timmies in the game but allows a good team to become even more dominant
I think to really dominate in turf wars, you need a weapon that can do more than just turf well. I've lost so many fights where we all had +10 KO ratios but because nobody could turf well the stupid aerogays reclaimed all the area in the final seconds anyway.
I think there's a reason Reeflux is extremely powerful for turf wars as well. It's ability to shit out turf is unrivaled, missiles are great for the mode as well. It can survive better due to the chaotic nature. Between N-Zap and Flux I generally do not lose Turf wars. N-Zap is nice though because I can fight better and tacticoolers are just so damn good. If I had an ideal Turf wars team it would probably consist of say an Nzap/Trislosh nouveau, Reeflux, something preferably with some range but can still turf well like a splatling (nautilus, mini, heavy, ballpoint literally any would be good so long as the user is good), and then last slot's not so important but just a regular old splattershot would do the trick.
Forgot webm
What do you use for making webms? I just got a SD card reader, and would like to start converting some of my clips
Webm for morons
it's based on FFMpeg
I just take out the SD card and put it in my PC that way with reader yeah
nobody wants your webms
You don't necessarily need an SD card.
It's no doubt more effort but I took clips from the album, sent them to my phone and then uploaded it to a google drive so I could download it on my PC and convert.
ahh frick
>I think to really dominate in turf wars, you need a weapon that can do more than just turf well.
*** meant to say do more than just *kill well.
it's both
if you can't kill but can ink you get aerogay where you swat the minor nuisance and retake all his work in seconds assuming it even goes past camping on passages to mid
if you can kill but can't ink you get bwasters which aren't relevant unless entire enemy team is so shit it gets locked in spawn
both are needed
Yeah I agree but I make an exception for the Reeflux. In Koshien, the jap turf wars team, literally every winning team had a Reeflux on it for a reason. It may not be the most useful in anarchy modes but it really shines in turf due to the spread out nature of the map and its pure turf output.
I think even an Aerogay can be effective in turf wars, I've seen it many times before. It all depends on the user. That being said, Reeflux is surprisingly potent offensively if your aim is right, especially after the buffs it received. You're not going to be rushing people down with the weapon but if they try and come at you they may be in for trouble.
Now yes webm related is literally just timmies. A more skilled team would have smoked me. But that's why you have other more offensive options backing you up. You need both turf and killing, but if one of your mates can turf extremely well it outweighs the killing aspect if your team is on top of it. I would still want my slayers with guns that can turf well though.
EVERY tricolor match is some fricking Black person unable to do fricking SHIT so lovegays always win
even in mirrors whoever is purple team wins
this is fricking bullshit
I just use ballpoint and aim at the general direction of enemy ink and i hope that scares them
This is how I got to S+. Barely even playing objectives.
That's how you win. You play the objective after you've murdered the entire team. Depends on the mode though, some require a bit more coordination like clams or rainmaker. Sometimes in those two someone can sneak by and cause a lot of trouble without support from the team

Just had my first match against Fame and holy shit you guys weren't lying, they absolutely obliterated our asses, the whole map ended up green. Going from stomping moneygays to becoming prey ourselves was truly something.
>stomping moneygays
pure lovetard delusion lmao
I've only had one tri-battle that wasn't a mirror match and I'd rather leave it at one win than have to defend that nightmare again.
if you had a real weapon instead of bidet defending would be easier
though you still would lose because your moron team does jack fricking shit
Don't worry Carlos, better luck next time.
morons like you taking half a minute to kill a timmy with jr is why money will lose
You want to take a better look at those team colours and then the shirt being worn
And?
The concept of money losing because of moron shitters like you being in it is this hard for you to understand?
get into big meme's team next time and stay there
Thats a team love shirt. I'm on team love.
I need Gold Scales, damn it!
I got a gold today, leaving my final count at 50 gold scales. Have 146 silvers and 400+ bronze. I just hope if there's new suits they didn't inflate the prices again. If it's 200 silvers it's gonna take a little bit.
Reminder though Big Run offers double scales so make sure you don't miss the next one
I've been hoping that we'd get a new GrizzCo Uniform soon, like a new design?
Mostly because I never stop wearing Orange so new additionally color swaps would do nothing for me.
A new design might be asking for a bit much
I'm expecting some weirder color variations of the ones we got. The reason we got the old suits is simply asset reuse imo.
Yeah, I keep forgetting how lazy the Splatoon 3 Team is.
How can you forget something that's rubbed in our faces literally every season kek
Money shitters, we're getting a 100x on the new open
Pick your best weapon, let's make it happen
*new rotation, 30+ minutes
moron playerbase deserves a lazy dev team
okay then, quit shitting up the teams timmy
hit a nerve, shitter?
Splat players (western) deserve more.
Japs deserve nothing for being the biggest consoomers on the planet and reinforcing laziness from the devs
>Splat players (western) deserve more.
>look at western hub posts
I'm gonna have to hard disagree
Those aren't splat players
those are twittertards who self bump all their posts. Just look at that homosexual PearlWoomy. Do they even play the game?
they play the game, frick it look at western tournaments all these pros having their pronouns listed lmao, anyway if they start pandering to westerners like you want those are the type of people they will be listening to not some 50 poster thread on Ganker that's the reality, shit sucks but it is how it is, they'll look at the homosexual posts on twitter with thousands of likes, they'll look at the shitty hub posts, they'll look at the gay trans western competitors/youtubers and they won't look here, there is little hope to be found in them trying to appeal to westerners
All the pro players on youtube sound like they're overdosing on estrogen shots. Why are westerners like this?
because they literally are
Why do you put people on a pedestal whom you've never met and are incapable of speaking to?
>Splat players (western) deserve more.
westoids deserve a lifetime ban from splatoon
it was a better game when every match was 7 to 8 jap squiggles and they threw half the time if any nonjap squiggles were present
Pathetic weeaboo
coping secondary pedo
you can exactly trace the moment where series went to shit and it's splat 2 and it giving the idea to any furry Black persontroony homosexual that they belong there

Which controllers is good for Splatoon? My hand hurts after playing with joycons and they are...joycons.
Pro controller is the default Splat controller. Joycons too flimsy and the gyroscope in third parties is not as reliable. I've had two pro controllers, one with a ton of usage that just started to drift after 5 years. If I cleaned it out and put on some contact cleaner it would be fine but I'm just using my other one which is working no issues.
A pro controller that's not wired so you can still use gyro
If you're playing docked anything, get a pro controller.
The joycons are built for being compact, detachable, able to be used as handhelds or as a small remote for short minigame sessions in Mario Kart or Mario Party or something, not for ergonomics or comfort.
I unironically play the best with handheld mode, it's the closest to Splat 1's holding the entire Wii U gamepad. I feel that using gyro like that is way more intuitive and I get more kills/evade better.
detached joycons are the best for comfort and aiming. disregard pro controller scammers trying to trick you into wasting 70 dollars for a malfunctioning dpad
>malfunctioning dpad
works on my machine
So what’s going on here are fame and money just not queuing tri battles? It shouldn’t be sn option pro mode should pug everyone into a tri battle and open should match groups but you shouldn’t be able to dodge it
nbobody is playing tricolor because fame doesn't exist and lovetards are too numerous
Money barely exists outside of open, Fame doesn't leave Pro. The game tries to incentivize people to play tricolor of their own will by making it count separately from the other categories in the final tally but there's only so much you can when it's very possible Love has a supermajority of players. I have literally never played any tricolor match that wasn't a mirror fight in the five hours I'd attempted it.
>win a 100x battle by .01%

If your job rewards you with stock options, no. Your job is your life then, and loving it doesn't hurt.
But since all you get from Grizz is gacha pulls, then yea.
I love the opportunity for wanton murder of those filthy Salmonids.
The pay is nice too. Usually.
I murder for the cash anon. Also how many people bellyache about gold scales and badges? It all circles back to money
That's more closely connected to pursuing fame or prestige tbh

It finally happened!
It took 8 Horrorboros Kill, but I finally got 1 GOLD SCALE.
Damn dude take a break. Should've joined me yesterday where I had back to back gold scales. Good job though.
Congrats! I believed in you, Anon. Remember it was me that fresh'd you
Team love is kinda ass, I've been off lately, and yet I've been winning nearly every match against them.
did they change the way tri colors work again
I thought only the halfpoint winner was meant to be defending
They changed that like four fests ago...
I guess I must have just been very lucky then
First version of Tricolors was basically a "frick the winning team" system and was too overcranked of a comeback system so the winning team would deliberately avoid it. So then they just changed it so that tricolor counts as a separate part of the splatfest score, and also any combination of the three teams can be attacking and defending.
Really if they're going to be doing 3-way categories they need to think up more actually competitive categories. Shit like Gear/Grub/Fun or Vanilla/Strawberry/Mint is like they're just deliberately feeding to one team.
>they're just deliberately feeding to one team.
yes that's splatfests for you
only two categories of people love their job: company owners and mentally ill turbocucks
>Golden rotation on Junction incoming

I could only muster up the willpower to get to Defender. I think Im kinda done with this game, but I can't really complain if I got 600 hours out of it. I'll be back for Big Run and the DLC.

Just put the game down forever anon, you are neither kid nor squid.
You are released from your cephalopodian obligations.
Go and be free.
They should rework the old shifty stations into 2+2v4 normal turf war with the fun gimmicks that came along with them and don't make it an option to play it or not. The way they designed Tricolor battles has also been so unintuitive and convoluted.
I have a SR room up and my meter is full. Anyone want to help?
when cuck devs will man up and make a fully postapocalyptic horror game?
I haven't played this game since like a few weeks after launch. What's been added/changed since then?

No gear is permanently gone. It enters the shop the following season.
but you gays told me z+f literally only exists as catalogue rewards?
and you cannot order the old catalogue gear still which is not a thing with shop gear?
Were you told this last seaon when z+f was introduced?

it's possible but not likely, I'm not getting my hopes up

lol no
It sure as shit can't be love or fame. More often than not they get trapped in their spawn and only ink 20% of the map.
yes they can, as in every other splatfest big man gays spam missiles on everyone they can then steal the signals
and if defending they don't have to do much considering fryegays sit huffing ink in the corner
Fryegays really are the most braindead players. I played a tricolor match where all the did was run to mid and get splatted by me. They never inked their spawn and that left 3 of my teammates to spawncamp love.
I just want that fug wave
No way in hell Money wins pro and tri, I've never faced a bigger shitter team in any Splatfest, the stomping is such that it almost makes me feel bad for them.
but enough about love
I'm on Team Love and am pretty average at the game, but I have been winning the majority of my matches which I feel like is a very good sign Love is going to sweep everything except maybe Conches. Of course with the nonstop mirror matches I've mostly been beating my own team so I could be wrong.
>still keep getting mirror matches in tri color
umm huh?
Pain
Potential idea: You get an extra sea snail for every +1 Ruler you get. Gives you a reason to keep going
For example, Ruler +7 nets you 28 sea snails
Retractor: I have over 60 snails, and nothing to do with them.
First give me a good reason to use the snails and then I'll care. I can do anything that snails can do with money.
turning snails into chunks can't be done with money anymore
Yea, my proposition on that was lowering the snail count for upgrading gear past 2* to 3/4/5 instead of 5/10/20.
Gives a cheaper option of paying a few shells instead of something like 50,000+ cash to improve your fav gear (and not shilling 36 shells for 5*’ing amiibo/grizzco gear)
I'll take those two silver. Thanks for helping me A. You're a real bro.
Thanks for also trying to help C.

damn I don't have that.
you can also use an alias in pbs if you're that shy. in splatsville everyone just stands around because frick putting effort into designing your game to have at least as many features as the previous game.

Proud of you guys. We don't want to be /vg/.
Don't turn this into a cringe thread war. Not proud of you
back to st/ink/ troony
frick off st/ink/er

Frick off with this attitude, you gays don’t even play the game. No one will accept you outside of your discord
grow up, edgelord
41% yourself troony
Ironic that thread wars don't contribute any gameplay discussion at all
Bringing your /ink/ shit in here just brings scorn. Nobody wants to take selfies with you. Stay in your containment thread
Ganker always floods /ink/ during big runs when rooms complain about being hard stuck at 90 eggs.
Ive never once gone to join st/ink/ during any event. If anything it’s you gays shitting up our threads and you’re proof of that right now. You freaks just cant be happy that there’s a separate splatoon pool than your stinkhole and you want everything merged under one roof. It’s not gonna happen. Your actions have ensured I will never join your incestuous pool.
>b-but the good players come and play in your pool sometimes
I have no problem with that so long as they dont act like attention seeking homosexuals who want to stir up drama. Nobody needs to know where you’re from. Just play the game. Dont ask, dont tell, let’s stick with that. But you guys always have to make it about /vg/. We dont care, stay in your threads if they’re so great. We never wanted you here.
how do i join the pool that isn't /vg/inas?
so ronery solo
There’s 15 minutes left in the fest bro
but poolsclosed is the pool name

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS CLOSE

How could you possibly have known that you would only have 15 minutes with the weapon? What a tragedy.
This is my first splatoon game and first splatfest. I thought it ended at midnight not 6 PM.
Did you have fun in your first Splatfest?
Yeah it was insanely fun, looking forward to the next one already. I wish I got into the game since Splatoon 2, everyone online seems to be infinitely better than me.
Nice. I'm glad you liked it. It's an experience no other game offers. Imagine back in Splat 1, the very first splatfests.
CATS WON.
>CATS WON.
>dogBlack folk
>everyone online seems to be infinitely better than me

Are you a player who doesn't use motion controls by any chance? Because those who opt for sticks only are literally subhuma- subcephalopod and are factually proven to be held back considerably by their inputs.
No I use motion controls, -3 for gyro aiming and 3.5 for the right analog stick.
That gyro is pretty low. I'm at 4 gyro 5 stick. Lower sensitivity doesn't feel like it matches the speed that I move the controller and it throws me off bad.
I tried going into the positive, but that just made aiming a nightmare. I usually just want to fine tune the aim so I prefer lower gyro. I use the nunchucks though because I can’t gyro aim with the pro controller for some reason.
If you queue with Ganker the internal matchmaking is going to put you against people who actually know how to play instead of shitters who are just starting out, fyi.
Use the motion controls, and don't get frustrated. There's people playing that's been playing since Splat 1. Getting good takes time.
I'm sorry for my passive aggressive response then. Assumed you were a regular. Hope you enjoyed your first splatfest and that you win it (assuming again that you're on my team, of course).
No one wants to take photos with you, no one is going to name drop you, and just because you attach your name to your post doesn’t make you special or important. You aren’t special and nobody cares about you here. You can jerk off in your trooncord all day, but don’t bring that troony shit here and just frick off you st/ink/er
M8 im the one telling the stinker to frick off, you’re confused.
nobody wants the pools merged, that was the point. the only posts sperging out over nothing are yours.
I'm never leaving Ganker's pool.
>being hard stuck at 90 eggs.
sounds like average st/ink/er, dont blame your shitterness on others
shut up homosexual
you have never shown any restraint in stealing signals nor will i. Get the frick away from mid and have your gay tussles somewhere else or eat a bomb, simple as
your loss is my win
eat shit
says he in threads that outside splatfests consider entirely of octo troony and his buddies being pretend /ink/
and splatfest is now over so discussion is dead until the next event or season
Just ignore it
Frick st/ink/ers, very proud of you
Why do they dance like post menopausal women?
made it to final rank but had to deal with too many late losses
>about an hour and 15 minutes
Eh, I guess I'll play. If for no other reason, than to enjoy my pink veemo for just a bit more until they take it away. Love really did have the nicest color this time around. I want to snuggle her so bad. Actually, before it ends I should probably take some pictures.
I'll play in 10 minutes if you want to join
I really need to just check out the town more often during splatfest. All the food carts, open stalls, concert projections. Shit's a lot of fun, I enjoy this. Even pearlwoomy isn't here to ruin things. Can't find little buddy, though, which is concerning.
Why the frick not, probably be way better than randos.
Turf or tri?
Turf. If I do one more eeltail tricolor, I'm gonna shoot a homie.
Ok join
I'm in. Sorry, was still taking some amiibo pictures.

Aaaaand my day is ruined. Why did you remind me they exist? Holy shit I fricking hate them

They deserve no respect and I say it out of hate. But you are right, “it” is more apt
Anon, you gotta let go of this mentality. People have been described as "them" far before this modern bullshit.
Pearl's on Team Money by the way
Enjoy your win if you dare
I have played 20 tricolors today and had a non mirror match happen twice. This is pure suffering
Wow, the last maps are Humpback and Manta. For once, not garbage.
Anyone else think Shiver's fest colors make her look covered in shit?
Nope, you just have a scat fetish

Are you excited that Love is finally gonna Lose a Splatfest?
If Money wins, I'll use said Money to buy Take-out for myself.
I'm gonna buy myself a third party transformer if money wins
>immediate loss
I'm gonna be honest, I already just wanna quit. That was horrible.
Lol didn't help that we fought against people who won 100x battles
winning 100x means literally nothing
That has nothing to do with skill does it? It's just a regular turf war match, it's just worth more.
There's the fear and nervousness factor when facing something like that
>suddenly 100x match
>love
>6 win streak
>brand coordinated *sparkle sparkle*
>perfect range and kit coverage
>meta cancer errywhere
>matching name styles
>all tags with gold stickers
[insert "fear and nervousness"]
>play defensively
>they're actually all shitters or drunk / high
>last 30sec steamroll for 76.3% win
Don't be afraid of nothing, anon.
What does the sparkling before the match even mean? That you’re a high rank or what?
It means their outfits are matching
Is that it? I thought it was like Splatoon 2 when your weapon would sparkle if you had high freshness on it. Basically meant you were playing well.
You should also be seeing something like "Near-sighted Squid Gang" or "Boot Rocking Tentatek Splattershot Octo Squad" on the team lineup before the match
That’s from wearing the same brand of headgear and shoes?
Yes, or same race / hairstyle and other shit.
Sparkling means "something" matches between them all.
Not sure if there are levels of sparkles to tell if they're more or less coordinated than just one brand or character aspect.
I'm changing weapon, I suck ass with painbrush.
Holy shit sloosh gay kill something
Frick we had it
>teammate rage quits
Frick you
>Someone thinks you're "Fresh!"
>we fist bumped each other
Okay, that whole thing was worth it. Even if we do nothing but lose from now on.
>fistbumps
God I wish that were me
Holy shit FRICK OFF st/ink/er
What are the fistbumps and what do they mean?
You and the other got 3 gold medals
Remember to turn your shells in.
Also don't forget to scrub your splatfest tee before the splatfest ends so that you can get your 3 extra chunks.
>do not stop shooting ever at a guy who's popping his reefslider
>he's invincible the entire time and gets me
>shooting another guy with roller
>I die from his flick like 5 seconds after I kill him
FRICK THIS GAME
I've hated rollers ever since splat 1
>only catalogue level 60
even with the splatfest booster it feels like I make barely any progress playing shartwar
Damn that wipeout at the last second fricked us over
>wipeout in the last 10 seconds
>we lose
GOD FRICKING DAMN IT, and after all that work. I saw that one worthless motherfricker constantly hiding, not doing anything. Piece of shit.
Skill issue
just won a 100x for team love
Im joining both inkgen and poolsclosed pools and you gays will never stop me
machine and laphittv have no shame we know
Well laphi is a literal homosexual so...
Anyone with ttv in their name is a massive homosexual.
I swear each splatfest gets worse.
20 MINUTES
Money friends, are you winning?
My shitternet has been out for two hours which is odd but whatever. Got to Ruler +4 and won multiple 10xs, along with basically a 2 to 1 win ratio for the entire fest so I did my part
>Love doesn't attack me when going for the signal
>Money does
Greedy fricks.
They need that 500 clout bonus even if it costs us both the match
Also, they get a multiplier when attacking while love doesn't so it behooves them to steal it from love even more
I had to stand on the other side of the signal and jump on the spot to get the others to recognise I wasn't a threat.
Killed them after they won the signal for wasting my time.
Ayyy, now that's more like it.
>3 splats
>overall splatter
what
>1 kill
>overall splatter
>most turf inked
>we lost by 90%
I got a lot of winning streaks, three 10x victories, two 100x victories, and never lost Tricolor
If Fame loses it’s because there was a moron dragging it down.
And that moron’s name is Frye
>team fame
I haven't fought a single team fame it's all been against love loves dick.
Fame is going to lose and likely get last, because it's the least popular team.
Yeah just let the defender win, great job helping the opposing team.
who said anything about letting defenders win? I can do that without your homosexual input or even better off without your input at all as you seething homosexuals attack the opposite team more than defenders
Every team has those.
But only one team has Frye, goddess of last place.
Where the FRICK were you guys? Were was everybody? Why were the constantly in our spawn? The only areas on the map I saw inked at the end was where I was.
Our shit teammates couldn't kill that one fricker. I was on their spawn trying to do the same
>lovekeks after I bribe nogami to make money win
>x10 battle
>someone leaves the match
why do Black folk do this, you take the loss if you leave
>Move the ultra signal to below the bridge
I have fixed the tricolor map.
>FINALLY get another non-mirror tricolor match
>get paired with a "Player"
>other attacking team (fame) can't defend their base for shit and is letting love rape them
great
So who’s down to fish after the ‘fest?
>controller disconnected due to low battery
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>get a 333x game
>wipeout Money team in first push
>instant d/c
Like clockwork
I've had the same experience but with team love. These homosexuals "DCing" should unironically be banned not just given a loss.
It should remove a few shells per DC at the end of the fest. If you end up with 0 then you miss the next event.
They also shouldn't be informed this will happen until the point they would redeem the shells.
they should also be publicly shamed. Like with the x100/333 winning announcements. "Loves2Splooge" cost team love a loss due to leaving the match early. How shameful."
Too lenient, I like the ban idea better. Also
. C’mom, be more harsh
>we actually won
Holy shit, it actually worked. I thought we were boned after they had us locked in for like a minute straight.
Same I thought we were fricked.
Reminder to scratch your Splatfest Tee chunks and change its main ability for Run Speed Up.
>x10
Damn it.
Splatoon threads have an overwhelming number of internet tough guys don't they
God I wish she would beat the shit out of me.
It’s tribalism, that ain’t out of the ordinary
5 minutes
Any hopes? expectations?
I hate the Splatfest music in this game, there I said it. Splat1+2 had better songs.
I think they're good but I listened to the Katamari soundtracks while playing. It was fun.
>one guy gets into our spawn
>I have to go back to deal with him because no one else can
>we lose
I hate our teammates so fricking much.
That one guy is me.
Yeah they were fricking moronic most of the time. Well, GG's anyways.
FRICK
when results
2 hours
2 more hours.
CONTINUE THE COUNT
IT'S OGRE!
>990
I’m so close. It’s almost over.
>Hit +14 on my very last game
Had to play incredibly sweaty but feels good
Did my team win? I don't care. I got my multipliers and my photos.
Good effort, mates. See you next month
That's loser talk, bro.
Frye has really pretty eyes
You will find out how badly she lost in an hour.
Everyone else get your shells turned in
>how badly she lost
a proper and expected 0 points what is there to wait for
>manage to squeeze in a literal last second match
>it's a mirror
I quit, I don't care anymore. It's dinner time. This entire splatfest was a fricking nightmare and I'm glad it's over. I look forward to Money winning in 2 hours. Or given my track record, Love taking it since my most miserable splatfets are somehow also the ones I tend to win.
They can't seriously let Shiver when again, caN they? that would be 4 in a row. Dont Nintendo know that that would be tipping people off to never pick these two ever again?
Love is probably going to win
Love is winning 100%. We are way to many to lose.
*win
All they need to do is stop giving her the best choice.
she still wouldve won if she had the other choices
Team Aliens says hi
Nah, let her win 5 times. 6, even!
>Notice i’m 28 rolls away from a bronze prize
>Blow almost 1,000,000 just to get it
Gonna take like a week to make it back. Think I got like 5 bronze capsules during this splatfest it’s nuts. Thankfully my payouts for the next grizz rotations are somewhat good
Back to work!
>*Puts cellphone away*
