I love how all the twittoids and redditards are trying to come up with all sort of cope reason why Frye lost except the most obvious reason.
Idols are supposed to be attractive. Shiver is hot. Frye is ugly.
Honestly I have no idea what Frye's gimmick is even supposed to be. Pearl had charm to her and could even appeal to dickyfags, Frye literally has nothing unless you got a real bad case of curry fever.
Funnies part is how Shiver got the sexy octo aspect of Marina while also having the smug cunt attitude of Pearl. Big Meme is doormat mascot tier while Frye is just a halfassed genki tard.
Frye's gimmick is that she's supposed to be the hothead of the group. They're supposed to be a sort of incompetent villain duo with a tangalong third wheel— >Shiver puts on a smug, cunning front but is actually just a total dope and a brat >Frye is headstrong but dumber than a sack of bricks >Big Man is competent and kind but also a MASSIVE pussy (and also kind of a dope, but not to the same sort of extremes)
The issue is that it's conveyed like total shit in the game outside of Shiver's boss fight and maybe one or two map dialog lines.
Yea, about sums it up: they didn’t go nearly far enough and just half-assed their personalities, the lot of it only being present in the story mode (where they take a backseat for the majority of it)
I think the problem with Frye is the same problem with Korra. Like, they tried to tone down their "idiot hotblood" by making her actually negotiable in the plot (Her pre-boss fight dialogue has her negotiating with you on splitting the money that they found), but because there's not enough "plot points" for her to actually demonstrate her competence, she ended up being more of a loser than she really is.
Reminds of how people say Deep Cut is Splatoon's Team Rocket, but one of the tricks with Team Rocket is that they're actually quite competent at everything that isn't stealing Pikachu or stopping movie villains. Deep Cut doesn't really have that. Also, Team Rocket has ten times the style and charisma of Deep Cut.
She talks like an old lady, apparently. You can kinda hear it in her Tableturf dialogue (and read, if you read Moon). Apparently that's somehow amusing and adorable to some audiences in Japan.
Frye would have actually been interesting if she talked old because she is actually old as shit from being a vampire squid which evolved before modern octopi. Instead she just talks like she's old because she hangs out with her grandpa
i dont know when i changed opinion, but i like her design. i would consider her even sexy. i wouldnt mind a pearljob at all. which is bizarre because three years ago i considered her an abomination just like frye.
but i guess that her style, personality and the fact that i love hip hop kinda made her grow on me.
I felt like pro's was especially shit this splatfest. I was getting terrible weapon match ups. you can't tell me shiver with more than half the votes couldn't match our weapons
>I felt like pro's was especially shit this splatfest >run undercover brella >play pro >get multiple matches where my team has a second undercover brella
I won't deny that it's funny but why the fuck would they do this
I love how all the twittoids and redditards are trying to come up with all sort of cope reason why Frye lost except the most obvious reason.
Idols are supposed to be attractive. Shiver is hot. Frye is ugly.
We all know Frye is an ESG bucks induced design so it doesn't matter how blatantly unpopular she is
She's just not leader material, too much of a hothead while Big Man is the team mascot like Scooby. I say this as a newfag with no prior splatfests. Look at my barren emotes section as proof.
>See most of the randoms on my friends list went Frye >Think "oh shit is there going to be like a miracle turn around here" >17%
It's funny how these things happen
The same person who said “they had the right idea for reporting shiver posts” also linked to our threads yesterday on Ganker as proof that shiver fans are le racist.
unironically based
Censorship works and I wish people would use underhanded tactics more often. Frye really only lost because no one likes balding idols.
You know I'm right. The only reason you care about trannies in the first place is because they're the only ones allowed to speak anywhere outside of Ganker. It's why everyone was so certain Frye was going to win the popularity poll.
It just goes to show that twittermorons and reddichuds aren't the majority no matter how much their voice is amplified and no matter how many people they ban and censor. They are tolerated, at best.
Will anons believe me now that halftime is only calculated by open battles? I mentioned it several times in previous threads before the results and nobody believed me
>saw nothing but Frye and Bigman posts in the plaza all week >only saw Frye and Bigman teams with their badges and banners out >even know that splatfest is over
This is why global splatfests were a lazy mistake
Frye or Bigman could've won in the EU or America but never in japan

I'm a sucker for little things like this. Even going back to the first game, just ate up all the little bits of lore and drawings they made for it. Yet don't own even a single artbook.
This would have been a global fest anyway, because it may affect writing going forward. Theyre not foing to have a different leader of the bunch depending on region.
I am endlessly pleased that Big Man won Pro, since that was the category I fought all three days in and earned the most Clout in. It means my contribution helped.
Use that suggestion someone gave last thread. >Splatfests are two-sided rather than 3 sided (normally) >Big Man, being the producer and the "calm one" of the group, tries to remain a neutral party while Shiver and Frye bicker over their picks >Occasionally Big Man will take a side, maybe providing a bonus or an alternate ink color or something >Every more rare, Big Man will have an opinion of his own differing from the other two, with the discussion getting so heated that they end up making it 3-way again for that specific splatfest, turning them into a rare surprise >Also they're not global any more except for whatever the final fest is
>Special "Anarchy Hour" battles exist that replace Open or Pro in certain windows which have Anarchy modes rather than Turf War (like 8 windows each out of the 24 windows) >These give double the amount of clout compared to regular battles >After halftime, the two losing teams get a multiplier bonus for the Open ones >3rd place team during halftime gets the x1.5 boost in Tricolor regardless if they're attacking/defending >The rate of 10x battles increased on Day 2
the only reason people think off the hook is "better" is because they had an entire dlc devoted to them
i like them but yeah no shit deep cut doesn't feel as fleshed out in comparison
also the music in 3 is the best in the series by far suck my balls if you think otherwise
I really fucking hate verticality in Splatoon maps, because it feels like everyone can parkour around me and kill me midair while I'm godawful at it. I like maps that are flat and open, with much less verticality. So in my mind Flounder Heights is the new Moray Towers, and I won't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's my least favorite map in the game.
I can't see the difference between whatGanker and ecelebs call good maps and bad maps. If a place is dominated by chargers, guess what I bring my toxic mist/line marker/ninja squid/explosher for pest control.
Reefslider is a good special. It's stupidly overpowered in the right situations, but can't be used haphazardly. It's also a perfect redesign of Splashdown - people got good at shooting it out of the sky, so they turned it into an unstoppable bomb bike that you can activate from a safe distance. People only think it's bad because it used to suck before it got buffed, and top players rate it as unreliable/conditional, which restricts its use cases and makes it harder to justify putting in a teamslot.
Also Machine should have its nerfs reverted. It was never overpowered, just a symptom of the godawful balance philosophy and content dripfeed.
It's a great way to force the entire enemy team turn around and pay attention to you.
People underestimate how far the dolphin can go because everyone likes to stop it short. More often than not, it's better to get behind your target than to explode in front of them. Not to mention the underutilized utility of starting it from high ground. The explosion is a big sphere of damage, hitting opponents on walls or in the air just as hard as the ground.
The "meta" of gear abilities is a fucking crapshoot, at it infuriates me seeing these retards recommending to people shit like "oh, you could sub in THE UTILITY SUBS somewhere, and ooh maybe you could use a few subs of ink recovery for convenience! 2 subs of swim speed is my go-to build, you can really feel the difference!
People don't realize just how tiny the effects of some abilities are, and they don't think anything of it when people recommend them a build that has a mix-and-match hodgepodge of 10 different abilities. QSJ is a fucking meme, bomb defense is a meme, just pick something and STACK IT. All of the people telling others "oh yeah, 3 subs of this, 1 main of that, gotta have ninja squid too, then 3 subs of that, and the rest utility subs!" have no idea what they're talking about.

So I had to stop playing Splatoon 3 for quite a few months and didn't get jump back in once I could. Is this the last splatfest like 1 or is there going to be more.

Splatlings spend a lot of their uptime running, charging, and shooting. They're probably the best users of run speed in the entire weapon roster. If you're playing anything but Hydra, you want as much run speed as possible - around 40 AP. After hat, the diminishing returns kick in hard.
Strafing sideways lets you dodge shots. Moving faster makes you harder to hit. Also lets you back up and stay out of the opponent's range quicker. You want a lot of run speed.
>40
that seems like massive overkill
most builds I see are two mains and 3 or 2 subs
I did the math and 2 mains 3 subs vs 2 mains 2 subs is like a 1.17% speed difference
If they do another live show they need to give Big Man a better model and better animators. Give him to the guys at Retro Studios or something because Nintendo's animators are fucking dogshit at making weird characters animate and be expressive
I love it. Didn't know these three had it in them, but it's gorgeous. Then again I am a sucker for these kinds of songs. Fresh Start from 2 really tugged at my heart strings, and Into the Light remains my favorite. The video itself is amazing, just the morning light falling onto the city. There's nothing like that feeling, to witness the dawn of a new day after long night. Shit, getting too choked up here.

>people are literally trying to rewrite reality for this splatfest
This might be one of the saddest things I've seen. It'd be funny f it weren't so pathetic.
chuds in general try to rewrite reality all the time, a trait they take from their garden gnome overseers
good thing that doesn't work and even they started to realise this lately, hopefully it will fully settle in in a few years and we will get mass 41%

But what IS the actual audience of this type of characters really? I can only think of fujos, but that's not it probably. I just find them fucking cringy and annoying and want them to stfu forever.
Gonna go to bed now. Shoulda done so earlier, but threads are too fun. Once again, I salute all the Shiver players for making sure she won. Still absolutely ecstatic that I managed to get the biggest win possible. Never thought in a million years I'd achieve this. Only regret is that it wasn't day one on the Shiver float. That, and not getting my badges but whatever. There'll be other fests. Good night. Best daughter WINS.
You can't reason with them, anon. Anything that goes against what they like is racist, or ableist, or whatever other shit they pull out their ass.

If only there were an elderly squid character that's been around since the beginning to show us such a thing.

ok anons I should have preempted that I know there's one example but surely it wouldn't be literally everyone looking like that

I dont care that Shiver won I care that they fucked up the entire splatfest system so badly that there is never a reason to not vote for the popular team because 90% of the time they are going to win.

this franchise is a joke and that joke isn't even funny
Last fest will be between the three groups,with each of them making an appearance and rooting for themselves of course. It will all feature the first instance of multicolored ink for each team to represent each character. Thing of the fuzz ink from story mode,the color gradation and all of that. Imagine the color clusterfuck in "tri"color
while it seems predictable I don’t see why they would do that
the next game is going to be about the new idols and deep cut so what would be the point of an idols splatfest?
Does it say that? I thought they fixed that shit right now. It's a compilation of Frye cope and crying. Try using that one site that lets you see shit without an account.

We won shiver bros...
This splatfest had some really rough games. It's like the enemy 4 team has 2 long range weapons and nobody else has anything to counter that so it's just the easiest loss.
No way to counter. The good thing is people seem to cooperate more. If I see the enemy team taking the rain thing I leave them alone and vice versa.
jesus christ the randoms this sr rotation are especially retarded its like im playing profreshional
most definitely a sign to just take a break from the game
Spawning Grounds is always a toss-up. Doesn't help that the weapons are slightly more technical than the average shooter. Paint is also an issue, with only the Squeezer having solid overall paint, I think. Snipewriter can paint, but only in lines, which is only really relevant during low tide.
it feels bizarre in hindsight, all those retards going around stating she's non binary representing, now those same people hate her for whatever reason.

They made it so it was possible for an unpopular team to win by getting one of open/pro and tricolor only for it to never happen because the popular team keeps winning tricolor anyway despite it being the "comeback" mode
any chance to force chudhouse to get publicly fired after chud hysteria ends? this level of gross incompetence should not stay unpunished, people get fired for less

Fake. Super Bomberman R 2, revealed in a partners direct last year, is coming out in a few days. No way they aren't giving it a passing mention. Although since Splatoon 2 gear was pushed back to March, that release window for Side Order is still very possible and it fucking terrifies me.

It's fake for sure but Nintendo's probably not going to announce Switch 2 in a direct. There will be a bit more pomp for it since they need to show off to suck off investors.
I dont know why the fuck i didnt vote her. I just thought too hard about the splatfest question instead of just simping for her like i should.
I thought that Big Man could be considered the leader because Shiver and Frye have the same singing role and it wouldnt look good if one of them was the boss.
But honestly, fuck Frye. I shouldnt have cared about that abomination.
Well then Big Man would be a pretty shitty leader considering he ditched both of them and put on a fake persona to do a collab with the Squid Sisters. Shiver comes off as the leader in part due to her Splatfest choices, in the campaign Deep Cut didn't really have a leader they just kind of show up to cause trouble and seemed more likely to squabble over who the leader is. You can tell Frye's unpopular though because she hasn't reached the sphere where folks use her snake charmer stuff for hypnosis art. But most of Deep Cut in general have gotten way less partially due to Splat3 simply not being as popular
>Well then Big Man would be a pretty shitty leader considering he ditched both of them and put on a fake persona to do a collab with the Squid Sisters.
Men are like keys and women are like locks.
"Ian BGM" will collab with Off the Hook in fresh season 2024
the next deep cut song will be shiver and frye beating big man up to the tune of the music
>Fresh Season 2024: Solid Moonlight - Off the Hook feat MC Fyre.
A new song involving Pearl having a rap battle with a mysterious new Splatlandian rapper >Drizzle Season 2024 - Our Deepest Finale
Deep Cut's final song. After discovering Frye has also been doing secret collabs, the trio has decided that they cannot trust each other after all of these issues. They tried to laugh it off with their last song but their dynamic has never been the same since the Splatfest a year ago. They plan to breakup soon, this song is about the sweet memories with friendships that have grown stale and how people can't stay together forever
Funniest thing about this fest is seeing people legitimately believe Frye would win popularity.
Like seriously, how delusional do you have to be to think that'd happen?
Even then, only 17% of the playerbase has picked Frye. Even if half of the people who picked Shiver didn't play at all during the week leading up to the splatfest that would still leave 25% of the players on Shiver's team.
Tryhards join the least popular team for no mirrors and easy wins. With big run on splatfest week tryhards bloated the score as conches is literally just who's a biggest nolifer out there.The reason why frye didn't win pro is seemingly chuds shooting themselves in the leg and their retard jihad making tryhards who didn't care for big run and join late not pick team frye because they had enough in team love and don't want to touch chud infested team even if it will make them take the more popular choice.
It's cause fryer shitters didn't show up for tricolor.
As soon as i saw that shiver was winning, i switched over to tri color because i knew for a fact that it was either win tricolor or lose.
The last splatfest was basically decided through tri color where the half time winner lost it all cause they lost tri color
>actually listening to the question and following the logic
Frye's supposed to be more competent and confident as a possible leader despite her hotheadedness, but outside her boss banter she consistently has no mind for strategy or teambuilding. Her strategy is "attack up close, and if that doesn't work attack more", she dismisses any suggestions against that plan, and even her desire to be better than her base instincts doesn't immediately make her a good candidate for leadership
Big Man has networking and natural kindness on his side, but he's consistently too shy and too easily overwhelmed to properly lead. We all know guys like that who are deferential and phlegmatic to a fault, and as nice as those guys can be they're definitely not leaders
Shiver, even with the gimmick that she's a chuuni brat who brags too much, has some natural leadership qualities. She's confident in her own plans, is willing to listen to others or compromise for her team, and is able to get people to follow her plans through simple confidence. Just because she's a dork with a big ego doesn't immediately disqualify her from being the best leadership candidate of the three
>is willing to listen to others or compromise for her team
>Master Mega, that is NOT how we practiced. Now STEP UP cause we're getting our ass handed to us.
This is Shiver in her story mode. She does not compromise.
Shiver is a dumbass who people think is smarter than she is because she acts refined and repeats expressions she doesn't understand
Frye was the one in storymode trying to negotiate and make compromises with agent 3

And then Shiver wins again leading to Shiver fans being called racist but also Frye's sanest fighters blaming "those rice eating, squinty eyed morons" for Frye not winning and demanding segregation.
That poster is incorrect. Shiver was winning at halftime, but only by a margin. Halftime also only reflects open battles. Frye only won conchs at the start, that’s it.
Somehow the Fryefags deluded themselves into thinking she was the most popular for some reason.
And now that it's been clearly shown it couldn't be further from the truth, I'm seeins some coping with shit like >if the splatfest had been regional, frye would've been the most popular in the west
Two concerns here: >Why use Drop Roller on a Splatling? >masking in AD2023
You look like the Octoling version of Antifa (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, visually speaking)
The further away we get from 9/11 the less people are aware of just how fundamentally that shit changed American culture. It was pretty much the start of the modern surveillance state shitshow we find ourselves in.
Unfortunately true but so many are apathetic towards the blatant government power grabbing not to mention the illegal wars they waged and keep waging in the name of it. War…that reminds me of the great Turf Wars.
China really doesnt have that many nukes bro.
Also what the fuck were we supposed to do? even guys in their 30s now were teenagers when it happened. I was 14, what the fuck was I supposed to do?
Everyone was anti war until Obama came into office and then all of the sudden the democrats became pro-war and they have been ever since, it’s absolutely nuts.
It's not really insane when you realize Demorcart v Republican is a floor show to distract the masses from the fact that both "sides" are the same Israel worshiping warhawks only interested in securing their own power further.

No I mean I get that much. But what I dont get is how all of the people around me quickly changed their tune. I stayed anti-war, but I stopped being “liberal” because of the hypocrisies of other lefties that refused to call out the practices of the democrats and still do. Yet when George W was in power they were so vehemently anti-war. Now you see NONE of that. They were all so easily manipulated and just parrot whatever the media wants them to, it’s fucking pathetic.

Most people's understanding of politics goes about as deep as "Red good Blue bad" and vice versa. People aren't thinking about that shit critically they've got to focus on the latest sportsball game or celebrity drama. I used to be really passionate about trying to enact change but I've become increasingly blackpilled over the years due to the general apathy of the masses. Short of some kind of massive collapse and ensuing societal upheaval I don't see anything changing, people aren't hungry enough for it.

Queen Shiver.
I will forever hold over people's head the fact that Frye got 17% votes during the POPULARITY CONTEST Splatfest.
Seven fucking teen. The pajeet was a damn mistake.
They will say its because dem japanese is fukken racist y’all
that 17% sure was loud, almost made me think shiver was actually gonna lose kek
I love how all the twittoids and redditards are trying to come up with all sort of cope reason why Frye lost except the most obvious reason.
Idols are supposed to be attractive. Shiver is hot. Frye is ugly.
It also shows how shit they are, since they only won the conch category.
how miserable are you in life that the only pride you find is by trying to trigger made up people in your head about a squid game for children

Honestly I have no idea what Frye's gimmick is even supposed to be. Pearl had charm to her and could even appeal to dickyfags, Frye literally has nothing unless you got a real bad case of curry fever.
Funnies part is how Shiver got the sexy octo aspect of Marina while also having the smug cunt attitude of Pearl. Big Meme is doormat mascot tier while Frye is just a halfassed genki tard.
>Shiver got the sexy octo aspect of Marina
Octo supremacy.
Damn octos and their ink sacs.
Frye's gimmick is that she's supposed to be the hothead of the group. They're supposed to be a sort of incompetent villain duo with a tangalong third wheel—
>Shiver puts on a smug, cunning front but is actually just a total dope and a brat
>Frye is headstrong but dumber than a sack of bricks
>Big Man is competent and kind but also a MASSIVE pussy (and also kind of a dope, but not to the same sort of extremes)
The issue is that it's conveyed like total shit in the game outside of Shiver's boss fight and maybe one or two map dialog lines.
Yea, about sums it up: they didn’t go nearly far enough and just half-assed their personalities, the lot of it only being present in the story mode (where they take a backseat for the majority of it)
I think the problem with Frye is the same problem with Korra. Like, they tried to tone down their "idiot hotblood" by making her actually negotiable in the plot (Her pre-boss fight dialogue has her negotiating with you on splitting the money that they found), but because there's not enough "plot points" for her to actually demonstrate her competence, she ended up being more of a loser than she really is.
Reminds of how people say Deep Cut is Splatoon's Team Rocket, but one of the tricks with Team Rocket is that they're actually quite competent at everything that isn't stealing Pikachu or stopping movie villains. Deep Cut doesn't really have that. Also, Team Rocket has ten times the style and charisma of Deep Cut.
Vamp squid and eels
She talks like an old lady, apparently. You can kinda hear it in her Tableturf dialogue (and read, if you read Moon). Apparently that's somehow amusing and adorable to some audiences in Japan.
Frye would have actually been interesting if she talked old because she is actually old as shit from being a vampire squid which evolved before modern octopi. Instead she just talks like she's old because she hangs out with her grandpa
Pearl was ugly too, but characterized EXTREMELY well and ended up as the best idol for it.
>Pearl was ugly too
Yeah…No. not anywhere as close as Frye, sorry to burst your bubble.

Frye is literally experiencing male pattern baldness because he's a chud
i dont know when i changed opinion, but i like her design. i would consider her even sexy. i wouldnt mind a pearljob at all. which is bizarre because three years ago i considered her an abomination just like frye.
but i guess that her style, personality and the fact that i love hip hop kinda made her grow on me.
post sexy pearls.
>Pearl was ugly too
She's white. She's prettier than Frye by default, especially in Japan.
17% yet there were still frye mirror matches
this game's matchmaking is fundamentally shit
I felt like pro's was especially shit this splatfest. I was getting terrible weapon match ups. you can't tell me shiver with more than half the votes couldn't match our weapons
>I felt like pro's was especially shit this splatfest
>run undercover brella
>play pro
>get multiple matches where my team has a second undercover brella
I won't deny that it's funny but why the fuck would they do this
>enemy team doesn't have a brella
Proximity preference for matchmaking.
>stopped making le silly pun losing quip
She's on suicide watch isn't she?
Those are the dead eyes of a woman who is either considering suicide, or considering slitting Shiver's throat in her sleep.
She's broken. It's unironically over...
tbh Frye's words are pretty sweet here. A real fryefag would take the sincerity and not be a bitch about a video game
half the people currently seething hate shiver more than they like frye so they're not even real fryefags
sounds about right
I'm still going to stop playing splatfests because it's clear people will just pick whatever Shiver picks lol. It's getting boring at this point.
We all know Frye is an ESG bucks induced design so it doesn't matter how blatantly unpopular she is
take your meds
why is pattern recognition so hard for you?
Blackrock has never invested in Nintendo.
How the everliving fuck did i get like 3 mirrors in 2 days when fryetards were near nonexistent? Did japan just not pick anyone but shiver whatsoever?
It tries to pair you with people close to you in matches if it can. Was probably a bit more even in the West.
>japanese bugmen overwhelmingly pick the japanese bug squid
I am shocked.
Octo fatigue is real. Squids should have never let their kind onto their land.
Shiver is the octo though
She's just not leader material, too much of a hothead while Big Man is the team mascot like Scooby. I say this as a newfag with no prior splatfests. Look at my barren emotes section as proof.
you should stick with the timmy weapons
but he already does?
>See most of the randoms on my friends list went Frye
>Think "oh shit is there going to be like a miracle turn around here"
>17%
It's funny how these things happen
Remove those twittards from your friends list immediately
Splatsville was totally flooded with Frye posts as well, I absolutely believe the rumors that they were going around reporting Shiver posts lol
The same person who said “they had the right idea for reporting shiver posts” also linked to our threads yesterday on Ganker as proof that shiver fans are le racist.
unironically based
Censorship works and I wish people would use underhanded tactics more often. Frye really only lost because no one likes balding idols.
kys chud
You know I'm right. The only reason you care about trannies in the first place is because they're the only ones allowed to speak anywhere outside of Ganker. It's why everyone was so certain Frye was going to win the popularity poll.
You’re a tremendous gay
Social media was a mistake
It just goes to show that twittermorons and reddichuds aren't the majority no matter how much their voice is amplified and no matter how many people they ban and censor. They are tolerated, at best.
It's not Frye's fault, it's her designers
I like her more because she's silly and a ceph, they knew she was gonna get more hate than Pearl.
Will anons believe me now that halftime is only calculated by open battles? I mentioned it several times in previous threads before the results and nobody believed me
this game is shit and if it weren't for the character designs you would've dropped it long ago
the gameplay is good, the online is bad. How I wish there was a splatoon game with good online.
glory to shiver
/vg/ here. You guys are becoming more like your father.
I almost feel singlehandedly responsible for Shiver's low Pro percentage because of all my 100x losses. I'm just glad I never played the other modes.
>saw nothing but Frye and Bigman posts in the plaza all week
>only saw Frye and Bigman teams with their badges and banners out
>even know that splatfest is over
This is why global splatfests were a lazy mistake
Frye or Bigman could've won in the EU or America but never in japan
Good.
The west are too lenient with Nintendo's dogshit ESG compliant designs.
The fuck are you talking about?
He's just a schizo
Where'd this art come from? Just saw it the other day.
For the 1-year anniversary of Splatoon 3
https://twitter.com/splatoonna/status/1700494270031855798?s=46&t=XqrFPmFBeLn1zKdKUC8F4A
Oh, cool. Love seeing the little buddy in art work. Isn't that the waiting area in the locker room?
Yea, the one little corner in the locker room. Do like it when they put out these nice little art pieces
I'm a sucker for little things like this. Even going back to the first game, just ate up all the little bits of lore and drawings they made for it. Yet don't own even a single artbook.
I miss regional splatfests.
Wish we got this instead of shit like Transformers
I just started using the mini splatling. Any tips I need to know to git gud?
Wtf, Japan calls McD's fries McFries? I was just over there and I never noticed that.
>silent majority players and enjoys the game
>mental illness minorities are loud in the plaza
Tale as old as time.
>m-muh Japan holding me back
They were just vocal minorities with too much free time on their hands
This would have been a global fest anyway, because it may affect writing going forward. Theyre not foing to have a different leader of the bunch depending on region.
I doubt they're actually making the winner the leader
And thank god for that.
I hate octo daughters
octo sons...
I got it on good authority that they don't like you either, pal.
Yeah, because I beat them up and put them in jars
that's a lot of scales
7 bronze!!
>5 silver 1 gold
thanks 1 hour full meter
i was partially full. didn't expect a king on first go
i hope fenrir gets banned
I didn't even vote this time. Deep Cut are lame.
I am endlessly pleased that Big Man won Pro, since that was the category I fought all three days in and earned the most Clout in. It means my contribution helped.
I don't like this SR rotation but I already have a full gauge and I keep wiping at wave 3
So, theoretically, how would you fix the splatfest system without changing the idol group?
Use that suggestion someone gave last thread.
>Splatfests are two-sided rather than 3 sided (normally)
>Big Man, being the producer and the "calm one" of the group, tries to remain a neutral party while Shiver and Frye bicker over their picks
>Occasionally Big Man will take a side, maybe providing a bonus or an alternate ink color or something
>Every more rare, Big Man will have an opinion of his own differing from the other two, with the discussion getting so heated that they end up making it 3-way again for that specific splatfest, turning them into a rare surprise
>Also they're not global any more except for whatever the final fest is
>Special "Anarchy Hour" battles exist that replace Open or Pro in certain windows which have Anarchy modes rather than Turf War (like 8 windows each out of the 24 windows)
>These give double the amount of clout compared to regular battles
>After halftime, the two losing teams get a multiplier bonus for the Open ones
>3rd place team during halftime gets the x1.5 boost in Tricolor regardless if they're attacking/defending
>The rate of 10x battles increased on Day 2
another goldie
Post your unpopular Splatoon opinions. The juicy stuff.
i miss ink armor
the only reason people think off the hook is "better" is because they had an entire dlc devoted to them
i like them but yeah no shit deep cut doesn't feel as fleshed out in comparison
also the music in 3 is the best in the series by far suck my balls if you think otherwise
Splatzones is a terrible game mode over all compared to it's competitors.
They should bring Splashdown back
I really fucking hate verticality in Splatoon maps, because it feels like everyone can parkour around me and kill me midair while I'm godawful at it. I like maps that are flat and open, with much less verticality. So in my mind Flounder Heights is the new Moray Towers, and I won't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's my least favorite map in the game.
shiver isn't even that hot
The gigantic fucking nut I busted 30 minutes ago disagrees.
I can't see the difference between whatGanker and ecelebs call good maps and bad maps. If a place is dominated by chargers, guess what I bring my toxic mist/line marker/ninja squid/explosher for pest control.
Reefslider is a good special. It's stupidly overpowered in the right situations, but can't be used haphazardly. It's also a perfect redesign of Splashdown - people got good at shooting it out of the sky, so they turned it into an unstoppable bomb bike that you can activate from a safe distance. People only think it's bad because it used to suck before it got buffed, and top players rate it as unreliable/conditional, which restricts its use cases and makes it harder to justify putting in a teamslot.
Also Machine should have its nerfs reverted. It was never overpowered, just a symptom of the godawful balance philosophy and content dripfeed.
People treat it like a panic button and then write it off when they die while using it.
It's a great way to force the entire enemy team turn around and pay attention to you.
People underestimate how far the dolphin can go because everyone likes to stop it short. More often than not, it's better to get behind your target than to explode in front of them. Not to mention the underutilized utility of starting it from high ground. The explosion is a big sphere of damage, hitting opponents on walls or in the air just as hard as the ground.
Octo Expansion is the only good part of this franchise and even that's mid
have a nice day for not liking Salmon Run
Ganker only likes Salmon Run because versing people is too hard for the people who post here.
It's not worth it to play with Ganker.
The "meta" of gear abilities is a fucking crapshoot, at it infuriates me seeing these retards recommending to people shit like "oh, you could sub in THE UTILITY SUBS somewhere, and ooh maybe you could use a few subs of ink recovery for convenience! 2 subs of swim speed is my go-to build, you can really feel the difference!
People don't realize just how tiny the effects of some abilities are, and they don't think anything of it when people recommend them a build that has a mix-and-match hodgepodge of 10 different abilities. QSJ is a fucking meme, bomb defense is a meme, just pick something and STACK IT. All of the people telling others "oh yeah, 3 subs of this, 1 main of that, gotta have ninja squid too, then 3 subs of that, and the rest utility subs!" have no idea what they're talking about.
the game's getting boring
side order when?
Season 7
Frye ahould uave won because Octolings don't deserve to be leaders of anything. They have to go back.
clam blitz was a mistake and running around collecting shiny things like a hobo is fucking gay
dualies are a mistake because shooters with a unique movement mechanic triggers my autism
Long range chargers shouldn't be able to store a charge
DeadWringer is a great weapon that shitters are too incompetent to use
Frye's design is perfect and everyone else has shit taste
>slosher but even slower
>good weapon
it has long range and a wide spread
it's phenomenal on stages with high ground
there's already a weapon to fuck up areas over a long distance that just works, better
slosher but worse sucks outside of salmon
It's too much to expect other people to understand how slosher CHADS dominate matches.
>out-DPSed by every weapon, even the Novas and the Aerosprays, will immediately lose any 1v1 with an aware enemy
>reliant on allies to either finish off injured enemies or bring an enemy to single-tap range by allies
>doubly reliant on heightened platforms to strike from cover
>ink-greedy subweapon that can't even assist you in flushing enemies out for your own kills
>Reefslider
Situationally decent at best, on par with umbrellas with how you should be near others for it to work properly
Clam Blitz is the best mode
Splatoon 1 special weapons were better and balanced
Splatfests stopped being fun after the third time
>Clam Blitz is the best mode
Yes.
>Splatoon 1 special weapons were better
Sure.
>and balanced
No.
>Splatfests stopped being fun after the third time
Sure.
>Clam Blitz is the best mode
ew
>Splatoon 1 special weapons were better
they were cooler at least
>and balanced
they were broken with being able to activate the bubbler frame 1
>Splatfests stopped being fun after the third time
meh
So I had to stop playing Splatoon 3 for quite a few months and didn't get jump back in once I could. Is this the last splatfest like 1 or is there going to be more.
Was this the last Splatfest? The one that secures Shiver as being the inevitable story mode companion in Splatoon 4?
judging by what happened to chaos it's more likely that shiver would die in 4
No it's the popularity contest splatfest
No. Online support is planned for a 2 year run. We're approaching the half way point.
The last one will be, squid sisters vs off the hook vs deep cut
Shiver has Squid Sisters, meaning she wins AGAIN
>shiver wins
>becomes a new agent in splatoon 4
>frye went missing(probably out of depression) and shiver wants to find her
>big man is on the sideline or works with other Idols instead
>frye gets kidnapped by whoever is behind side order
>gets sanitized
>dies
Aaahhh the good ending
I hope that shiver is squid sisters so we can get the best of both worlds
is 29 points of run speed enough? or should I replace a sub of it with quick super jump???
CAN SOMEONE FUCKING ANSWER MY QUESTION
The fuck are you using? That's either enough or too much depending what you're using.
splatlings
I can't decide if I should drop from 29 to 26 for one sub of super jump
and I can't decide between the hydra/heavy edit/ballpoint
the fuck do you need qsj for splatling for
quick super jump is good in general
so you think the ballpoint and heavy edit don't need 29 points of run speed?
dunno about ballpoint but i use edit with 19 and it doesn't feel slow, its entire gimmick is fast speed and firerate
If you're going hydra that should be fine, the other two I'd slap a super jump chunk on.
Splatlings spend a lot of their uptime running, charging, and shooting. They're probably the best users of run speed in the entire weapon roster. If you're playing anything but Hydra, you want as much run speed as possible - around 40 AP. After hat, the diminishing returns kick in hard.
Strafing sideways lets you dodge shots. Moving faster makes you harder to hit. Also lets you back up and stay out of the opponent's range quicker. You want a lot of run speed.
>40
that seems like massive overkill
most builds I see are two mains and 3 or 2 subs
I did the math and 2 mains 3 subs vs 2 mains 2 subs is like a 1.17% speed difference
Thoughts on Daybreaker Anthem?
i love it
Kino like all of Deep Cut's songs.
I fucking NEED a new Deep Cut live concert with all of their songs
Theyve got a bunch now to work with
If they do another live show they need to give Big Man a better model and better animators. Give him to the guys at Retro Studios or something because Nintendo's animators are fucking dogshit at making weird characters animate and be expressive
>Big Betrayal live is just 2 minutes of Shiver and Frye beating up big man with a backing track
need this to happen
It will probably Big Man joining the Squid Sisters for Liquid Sunshine then Shiver and Frye appear at the end for Big Betrayal
is shivers hand backwards?
I love it. Didn't know these three had it in them, but it's gorgeous. Then again I am a sucker for these kinds of songs. Fresh Start from 2 really tugged at my heart strings, and Into the Light remains my favorite. The video itself is amazing, just the morning light falling onto the city. There's nothing like that feeling, to witness the dawn of a new day after long night. Shit, getting too choked up here.
>credit song: Deep Cut version
>perfectly encapsulates the end of a long night of turf wars as the a new morning starts
>Anarchy Rainbow call back
>has lots of Big Man singing
>Shiver isn't howling but has a more soothing wail all throughout
>has an extra backing vocal track during Shiver's part that is 100% reminiscent of nip festival immediately followed by Big Man BR trumpets
>perfect contrast to all their bombastic songs
KINO KINO AND KINO
I have to hear the LIVE version of this. Shit must be amazing as a closer.
ignore those wavebreakers, i finally remembered to test something..
looking forward to your findings
People still cant cope with alien losing when the reality is that Shiver's "because it's cute" reason completely stole the hearts of nips.
8 bronze!!!
>another bunch of scales
we're eating good
all this gold and silvers, because of our gold shiver badges!
>our
heh
nice title by the way
>another splatfest I can't play
>another splatfest where my side loses
can't you really do anything without me?
Shiver chads, I am starting to forget what it's like to lose.
Let's be honest, Frye lost because of racism
The fact that Shiver got 55% of the vote has made me reevaluate my understanding of the playerbase because that's just too based for words.
wow i actually hit that booyah bomb right on
no words needed. let's do this
you forget to wear your gold shiver badge
>forget
HEH
>forget
I only had one single 10x this entire Splatfest I lost it
>people are literally trying to rewrite reality for this splatfest
This might be one of the saddest things I've seen. It'd be funny f it weren't so pathetic.
Could at least use linguo that isn't from twitter to make it believable
we get chudhouse chudlating so unfortunately it could be a reality
chuds in general try to rewrite reality all the time, a trait they take from their garden gnome overseers
good thing that doesn't work and even they started to realise this lately, hopefully it will fully settle in in a few years and we will get mass 41%
>From non-binary savior to splatoon nazi symbol Has there ever been a bigger fall from grace than Shiver?
tell me your servers are systematically racist without telling me your servers are systematically racist: the game
onto you Nintendo, you taking regional Splatfest doesn't make it any less obvious
pls post cute
4f8m is gross to begin with and this fucking artstyle makes it even more gross
>amusing and adorable
it is though
But what IS the actual audience of this type of characters really? I can only think of fujos, but that's not it probably. I just find them fucking cringy and annoying and want them to stfu forever.
4f8m is cute, calm down shitdick chimp.
Gonna go to bed now. Shoulda done so earlier, but threads are too fun. Once again, I salute all the Shiver players for making sure she won. Still absolutely ecstatic that I managed to get the biggest win possible. Never thought in a million years I'd achieve this. Only regret is that it wasn't day one on the Shiver float. That, and not getting my badges but whatever. There'll be other fests. Good night. Best daughter WINS.
>fred crumbs badge
lmao
this dudes the only shop badge i dont have because theres no new shoes to buy
I didn't even know that existed. if you buy all the shoes you're fucked?
you can increase your star power at his shop
tee hee
Post yfw trannies lost
?si=IiS-_6J4JG5RMuqm
Is there anyone who isn't glad that they lost?
trannies
bet even japs are laughing at the retards
Anyone who counts?
These are amazing. Really cute Shiver.
Accurate amount of salt
do squid adults have facial hair? what would that look like?
>what would that look like?
Like this.
I want his busted ass loafers and hawaiian shirt adorned with war metals as gear
ok anons I should have preempted that I know there's one example but surely it wouldn't be literally everyone looking like that
and also he's not just an adult, he's old and bald so it doesn't even really apply to my initial question
There's also Ikkan, I mean, Quinn, who has a goattee
Why is he balding at such a young age?
Look at Captain Cuttlefish. Not a squid but you get it. They probably can decide to go bald and/or grow their tentacles at will in any part of their face
>Not a squid
Do you even play the games
You're right I'm rarted haha
But I got the idea across
>grow their tentacles at will in any part of their face
I wanna see an octo mustache that could look cool
thanks anon
>marina is dark skinned and considered sexy by most
>This is fine
>Frye is dark skinned and considered ugly because of forehead,clothes and other reasons besides skin
>RACIST RACIST RACIST
You can't reason with them, anon. Anything that goes against what they like is racist, or ableist, or whatever other shit they pull out their ass.
If only there were an elderly squid character that's been around since the beginning to show us such a thing.
yea, let's pretend Pearl winning because she's white and e-boi shaped never happened despite canonically being the oldest of the two
>I wonder if the x(formerly sneeds_(twitter)) reaction is really that funny
Holy shit, it's a fucking goldmine.
>fucking big man has more points than her
You're not surprised, are you? The order goes Shiver > Big Man > Literally anyone else >>>>>>> Frye.
anyone got that image of schwarzenegger as shiver
what is with all these golds lmao
wow...
I like the idea of this image, but it should be remade with a better lewd. That one's not very good.
it's the expression that matters, I guess. got a better one?
I like the face here, but it isn't regular Shiver blue. I'd have to go through all the Shiver art I could find.
holy gold
not bad
Hey that’s my tag
Shiver winning feels so good. I’m glad the antis got blown out
>ywn grab Frye's ass and thighs through on of the hole in her pants.
Trannies get what they deserve.
obsessed
Fuck you laphi
How does they being queer affect you?
Fuck off failed streamer
I am not even them.
You mean him?
I am sexually attracted to Callie, Pearl and Fyre.
Who the fuck is Fyre
Kill Shiver
Over the week leading up the splatfest I grew to hate fryefags so much.
Good job shiver bros we fought hard and won hard
Shiver is a whore
The forehead really ruins Frye.
I dont care that Shiver won I care that they fucked up the entire splatfest system so badly that there is never a reason to not vote for the popular team because 90% of the time they are going to win.
>splat2 splatfests are set up so that only one idol is winning
>they fix it because the fans think the losing idol is prettier
>splat3 splatfests are set up so that only one idol is winning to an even more extreme extent than the splat 2 splatfests
>nothing gets fixed because the fans think the winning idol is the prettiest already
this franchise is a joke and that joke isn't even funny
I picked shiver because blue is the best color
For me it's Rockenburg
Where the fuck does one get these magazines I keep seeing?
How can you not want this every day and every night.
Best idol, thats a fact engraved in stone now
ATTENTION ALL FRYE gayS AND BIG TARDS
Shiver is Queen
This is SPLATFEST LAW
I've listened to so many victory videos by now that I have all 3 different win songs memorized.
Last fest will be between the three groups,with each of them making an appearance and rooting for themselves of course. It will all feature the first instance of multicolored ink for each team to represent each character. Thing of the fuzz ink from story mode,the color gradation and all of that. Imagine the color clusterfuck in "tri"color
while it seems predictable I don’t see why they would do that
the next game is going to be about the new idols and deep cut so what would be the point of an idols splatfest?
I only picked Shiver because she had the best victory music during the splatfest. Cute as fuck.
I love shivers outfit
The majority of the Frye users I'm seeing all have those dumb pronouns, flags, or use language like "let's go lesbies". I'm so glad these people lost.
Think they're still butthurt over Shiver not being NB.
She’s my NB
Naturally Beautiful
https://twitter.com/RespectElves/status/1701146655838687740
I don't normally link directly to these things, but this was too good to pass up.
The turnaround is hilarious.
(Page doesn't exist)
So, what was it
Does it say that? I thought they fixed that shit right now. It's a compilation of Frye cope and crying. Try using that one site that lets you see shit without an account.
Despite making up just 17% of the splatoon population Frye voters are responsible for over 51% of salt produced in Splatsville.
>frye isn't winning because she's le brown
>meanwhile
holy mental illness
I said it earlier, but these people don't function on reason or logic.
>posts the character that lost to white-skinned character
says he while pearl was chain losing until they reworked splatfest score and two of the biggest fests were rigged as fuck
Pearl had less mass appeal by sex appeal demeanor and was a particularly specific niche, Marina was poc but still had the power over winning what could have been Pearls' simps had they not given her a bowling ball forehead
>blue
>shark
>Japanese
>cool costume design
>best story mode boss fight
Who couldn’t vote for her?
>best story mode boss fight
i'll give you the other four, but this one actually goes to Big Man
I liked the reference but didn’t have as much fun actually fighting him
>big man
>rehash of super mario sunshine
nah
>meme reference that's impossible to lose unless you take every bomb up your ass
lol
shiver is the best fight
ironically frye could win that if the didn't do absolutely nothing on that decommissioned octoweapon and actually attacked you
We all know the answer. The disgusting ones that we don't tolerate.
>2nd anniversary
>This fest happens
>Shiver: "I keep getting hate because I'm pretty, popular and successful and my poor fans keep getting called simps. It's not my fault I'm so great"
>Big Man: "Ay. AY. Ay (I don't think anyone likes me unironically. They just meme me and go BIG MAN SWEEP. If people had to kick one of us out it would probably be me even though I make all the music)
>Frye: "wtf guys...it's been two years and I still only won one fest. I think people literally have a thing against me :("
>Frye still gets 17% popularity and loses
go get that big shot badge, champ
i'm on it mr. boss guy!
We won shiver bros...
This splatfest had some really rough games. It's like the enemy 4 team has 2 long range weapons and nobody else has anything to counter that so it's just the easiest loss.
No way to counter. The good thing is people seem to cooperate more. If I see the enemy team taking the rain thing I leave them alone and vice versa.
>frye fags so salty, they went out of the way to just bully shiver bros
>still lost
Fucking kek
This is canon now.
They deserve everything they get.
At least Frye has nice tits. Not that it's enough to save her, but it's something. She doesn't have nothing.
Do you think they produce chocolate milk
Only in fanart
It would earn her bonus points.
They're at least as big as Marina's, if not slightly bigger.
Are you sure about that
what if the elected leader changes the DLC storie?
back to profresh letsgo
Congrats Shiver fans. I still love Frye though
I'm on a 20-game loss streak right now and every time I get 3 gold. I just want this matchmaking to fucking stop.
>cephalorock wanted a Frye sweep
Poor delusional bastard. At least they picked the right ice cream team.
i wish i met that gay rusty in splatfest so i could squidbag its ass for supporting the chud
I teamed with Caephalorock for one match.
I like Little Man.
jesus christ the randoms this sr rotation are especially retarded its like im playing profreshional
most definitely a sign to just take a break from the game
Spawning Grounds is always a toss-up. Doesn't help that the weapons are slightly more technical than the average shooter. Paint is also an issue, with only the Squeezer having solid overall paint, I think. Snipewriter can paint, but only in lines, which is only really relevant during low tide.
isn't it hilarious that someone chuds tried to claim as their own now crushes their hopes and dreams
karma at work
Couldn't have planned it better if I'd tried. They got no one to blame but themselves.
it feels bizarre in hindsight, all those retards going around stating she's non binary representing, now those same people hate her for whatever reason.
ggs you dorks
i lost count of the golds. great times
ggs! like 8 or something gold today
you all sent me to go-getter
Good games, had a lot of fun. Can't believe we got that many gold scales. I hope getting back to EVP isn't too tedious in freelance.
>Getting back to EVP
>In Freelance
You've done fucked up.
Thanks for your service Mr. Overachiever. If you desperately need a win, I'll lend a hand when I wake up
No worries, it can't be that bad. I really need a break now though, so I'll probably wait until next rotation.
i was thinking of dipping out a few times but i'm glad I didn't.
I've done a few climbs back to evp, it doesn't take me more than a couple hours. It's not too bad. Just don't die or the randos fall apart.
It's funny seeing the mind break over Shiver.
I'm tired of splatfest salt now.
it gets immediately repetitive when it's a thread circlejerk
Got bored after 2 hours of looking for art. I'm sure I'll laugh again tomorrow.
what region do I need to see this instead muh trannies and pearlwoomy
splatfest threads can be pretty lame but like splatfests, it's just for a little while. cherish the moment
There's only so many ways to take a piss on Fryehards.
It’s only been 10 hours and I slept through most of that let me enjoy the fun.
Please help, I can not contain my desire for Shiver sexo.
You look it up, then.
More fun to see it on four channel dot org forward slash vee forward slash
Would Ganker like frye more if we got concept frye instead?
Yes, her concept designs are great.
Middle right Frye is perfect. What a fucking waste.
And Big Man should have been less of a mascot and more of an actual character as well.
Only Shiver passes the idol snifftest.
Literally any of the concept designs would have been more popular than massive five head.
The concept designs look more expressive in just the outfit than the final Frye
>ugly bastard Big Man
Imagine the kino if he was just a giant obese salmonid snarling and snapping with no translation or anything.
Why didn't they use this?
because one of the directors is gremlinfag
except this time it backfired spectacularly and i hope the tard will get reprimanded hard enough to not touch designs anymore
Again, it was honestly no where as bad with Pearl
I still remember being physically disgusted with the reveal of Deep Cut in a trailer and seeing Frye’s design.
The weird eyelashes/mask protruding from her face, weird shriveled hair tentacle, the ridiculously long ears and teeth.
deformed roundface midget gremlin is just as bad
>Deformed
Pearl at least still looks like an inkling
Frye looks like a deformed crossbreed
Funny, Pearl still disgusts me to this day
She looks like she reeks of sweat, mayo and cheese
While I wanna bury my face in Frye's tummy
>She looks like she reeks of sweat, mayo and cheese
I guarantee you, Frye would smell even worse
How brown are you?
less than you apparently, american pedo
>A-AMERICAN!
Post hand.
Not even that racist but I do know what indians smell like by being within 8 feet of them.
>concept Frye
Wait a minute
No, I like her design as it is I just hate her grey sweatpants.
God I hate the stupid Pants Frye has with the dumb holes…along with the ugly toe-less socks she wears
That shit must be encrusted with so much dirt
>white character - animal - poc
>by popularity, white character >>>> animal >>>>> poc
starting to think there's more reasons to regional Splatfests being taken away and it was more to have less finger pointing even though pretty much everyone still agrees it's Japans' fault
Just put Frye out of her misery.
>Pearl won 10 out of 16 splatfests in the first year
>2 of them had the popular vote
>this was so bad that they completely reworked splatfests
>Shiver won 6 out of 9 splatfests in the first year
>1 of them didn't have the popular vote
>it was the only splatfest where there was less than a 1% popularity difference between 1st and 2nd
>this is fine
Splatfests fucking suck
They actually already tried reworking the scoring for Splatoon 3's Splatfest. It didn't have any impact.
Three teams is just not sustainable.
they can't even figure out how to make a splatfest with equal options.
FIFTEEN PERCENT SOUR
NINE PERCENT FAME
EIGHT FUCKING PERCENT BIGFOOT
AND 100% REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME
17% Frye
Does anyone have the
>rare sightings of Bigfoot fans
Postcard or something?
What do you call these again?
They made it so it was possible for an unpopular team to win by getting one of open/pro and tricolor only for it to never happen because the popular team keeps winning tricolor anyway despite it being the "comeback" mode
Early Marina being an absolute cunt did her no favors either.
so funny that treehouse had to backtrack on that
any chance to force chudhouse to get publicly fired after chud hysteria ends? this level of gross incompetence should not stay unpunished, people get fired for less
Cute octo.
It's funny to me that most fanart nerfs Frye's huge fivehead in order to make her look better.
Yeah, that's a pretty good indication the original was bad design.
Even the official Splatfest art nerfs her fivehead.
is there like any reason why they can't unfuck her head and say he got a surgery or something other than dev's hurt pride?
though they have too much merch by now so rip
Even forgetting about merch, Nintendo and its teams generally don't care about fan reception. They just keep chugging along.
They should have subtly decreased it each update
Will we ever get a Shiver more sex than vanilla?
Halloween Splatfest leaked.
Does anyone have a link to the latest game rip for the new BGM?
The idols we should have gotten.
>two boys
>one girl
Imagine the porn
Are these the idols if Order won?
I miss Tricolor already
>haven't played in 6+ months
>log in a few days ago

>leave without playing a single game
I haven't participated in like the last 3 Splatfests. I just vote, then leave.

It's mediocre.

It really is shocking that shiver won again, who would have guessed that the only fuckable one has everyone vote for her
Imagine saying this when everyone thought Shiver was male or non-binary before the game came out, and Frye has a fat pair of tiddies.
>everyone thought Shiver was male or non-binary
trap gays are a fuckin plague
>everyone thought
subhumans don't count
>everyone

You mean twittertards? Ganker couldn't stop cooming to Shiver.

>wonder getting anything after getting an entire direct
c'mon now anon you should know this is fake
Fake. Super Bomberman R 2, revealed in a partners direct last year, is coming out in a few days. No way they aren't giving it a passing mention. Although since Splatoon 2 gear was pushed back to March, that release window for Side Order is still very possible and it fucking terrifies me.
as i keep telling you retards you can forget about side order before switch 2 release which is no earlier than christmas
>F-ZERO GX
Unless they make things easier to unlock, MEGACOCK FASTEST gay IN THE UNIVERSE won't fly these days.

they didn't even tried to not look not remotely fake
Borderlands 3 has already been announced.
https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/borderlands-3-ultimate-edition-switch/
yikes i bet it will run even worse than 2
It's fake for sure but Nintendo's probably not going to announce Switch 2 in a direct. There will be a bit more pomp for it since they need to show off to suck off investors.
Shiver was ALWAYS the leader of the trio. Deal with it.
didn't the story mode imply frye was the leader
Only 3 more splatfests until Shiver has the longest unbroken victory streak in Splatoon history
I dont know why the fuck i didnt vote her. I just thought too hard about the splatfest question instead of just simping for her like i should.
I thought that Big Man could be considered the leader because Shiver and Frye have the same singing role and it wouldnt look good if one of them was the boss.
But honestly, fuck Frye. I shouldnt have cared about that abomination.
Well then Big Man would be a pretty shitty leader considering he ditched both of them and put on a fake persona to do a collab with the Squid Sisters. Shiver comes off as the leader in part due to her Splatfest choices, in the campaign Deep Cut didn't really have a leader they just kind of show up to cause trouble and seemed more likely to squabble over who the leader is. You can tell Frye's unpopular though because she hasn't reached the sphere where folks use her snake charmer stuff for hypnosis art. But most of Deep Cut in general have gotten way less partially due to Splat3 simply not being as popular
>Well then Big Man would be a pretty shitty leader considering he ditched both of them and put on a fake persona to do a collab with the Squid Sisters.
Men are like keys and women are like locks.
will the big betrayal storyline continue
"Ian BGM" will collab with Off the Hook in fresh season 2024
the next deep cut song will be shiver and frye beating big man up to the tune of the music
Maybe they're setting up for a Squid Sisters vs. OtH vs. Deep Cut final splatfest by having either Shiver or Frye betray Deep Cut for OtH in the DLC.
>Fresh Season 2024: Solid Moonlight - Off the Hook feat MC Fyre.
A new song involving Pearl having a rap battle with a mysterious new Splatlandian rapper
>Drizzle Season 2024 - Our Deepest Finale
Deep Cut's final song. After discovering Frye has also been doing secret collabs, the trio has decided that they cannot trust each other after all of these issues. They tried to laugh it off with their last song but their dynamic has never been the same since the Splatfest a year ago. They plan to breakup soon, this song is about the sweet memories with friendships that have grown stale and how people can't stay together forever
Funniest thing about this fest is seeing people legitimately believe Frye would win popularity.
Like seriously, how delusional do you have to be to think that'd happen?
I'm still baffled that she somehow won the preview conch shells thingy.
There's no 100x shit for conches. The entire multiplier system just gives a massive boost for the popular team because they get way more matches.
Even then, only 17% of the playerbase has picked Frye. Even if half of the people who picked Shiver didn't play at all during the week leading up to the splatfest that would still leave 25% of the players on Shiver's team.
Tryhards join the least popular team for no mirrors and easy wins. With big run on splatfest week tryhards bloated the score as conches is literally just who's a biggest nolifer out there.The reason why frye didn't win pro is seemingly chuds shooting themselves in the leg and their retard jihad making tryhards who didn't care for big run and join late not pick team frye because they had enough in team love and don't want to touch chud infested team even if it will make them take the more popular choice.
It's cause fryer shitters didn't show up for tricolor.
As soon as i saw that shiver was winning, i switched over to tri color because i knew for a fact that it was either win tricolor or lose.
The last splatfest was basically decided through tri color where the half time winner lost it all cause they lost tri color
Twitter and Discord believe they are a majority of the internet when it's the best example of a very vocal minority.
frye a cute but I hate her fanbase so I'll just enjoy her on my own
I unironically joined team blue cunt and sabotaged every match
All that time wasted for fucking nothing
Pathetic gay
>actually listening to the question and following the logic
Frye's supposed to be more competent and confident as a possible leader despite her hotheadedness, but outside her boss banter she consistently has no mind for strategy or teambuilding. Her strategy is "attack up close, and if that doesn't work attack more", she dismisses any suggestions against that plan, and even her desire to be better than her base instincts doesn't immediately make her a good candidate for leadership
Big Man has networking and natural kindness on his side, but he's consistently too shy and too easily overwhelmed to properly lead. We all know guys like that who are deferential and phlegmatic to a fault, and as nice as those guys can be they're definitely not leaders
Shiver, even with the gimmick that she's a chuuni brat who brags too much, has some natural leadership qualities. She's confident in her own plans, is willing to listen to others or compromise for her team, and is able to get people to follow her plans through simple confidence. Just because she's a dork with a big ego doesn't immediately disqualify her from being the best leadership candidate of the three
Big sexo
>is willing to listen to others or compromise for her team
>Master Mega, that is NOT how we practiced. Now STEP UP cause we're getting our ass handed to us.
This is Shiver in her story mode. She does not compromise.
Shiver is a dumbass who people think is smarter than she is because she acts refined and repeats expressions she doesn't understand
Frye was the one in storymode trying to negotiate and make compromises with agent 3
Shiver is sexy as fuck and Frye looks like she upset Allah and got acid in the face in her home country
All theses goofy bros simping over a trap
>Kill a sblast

I like this game but holy shit they need to just give us proper servers
And this is still better than it was at launch, somehow.

Ahh, good morning ShiverBros. I slept very well last night.

Need more boss salmonids
Then when all prophesized boss salmonids come, let the final events of Splatoon 3 be salmon run in the main hub
>All of these woke fucking SJW Octo sympathizers cheering the fact that a fucking filthy octo immigrant is now the leader of Anarchycast
IT'S OVER. THE SPLATLANDS HAVE FALLEN. INKLINGS WILL SOON BECOME A VISIBLE MINORITY.
BILLIONS MUST DIE.
splatslands always had octos
it's inkopolis where they immigrated in
>go up against an x rank badge holder in splatfests or anarchy
>I'm always the one with the fucked up team comp
heh
Why is no one playing? Did everyone move to /vg/?
post-fest burnout
Back to back Big Run and Splatfest, so double burnout.
I wanted the big man to win
Why did Shiver fans gaslight Frye fans into thinking they could actually win against Shiver?
Fryehards gaslit themselves.
Fryefags did that to themselves unironically.
>"WE WON THE SNEAK PEEK AND WERE LEADING DURING HALFTIME FRYEGODS"
>"I AM PERSONALLY ON TEAM SHIVER TO CONSTANTLY JOB SO SHE LOSES, OUR GODDESS FRYE IS GOING TO WIN THE MOST IMPORTANT FEST"
>"WITH THE POWER OF INTENTIONALLY THROWING MY TRICOLOR MATCHES IF SHIVER IS WITH US WE WILL BEAT HER I DON'T CARE IF WE LOSE SO LONG AS SHIVER DOESN'T WIN"
And then Shiver wins again leading to Shiver fans being called racist but also Frye's sanest fighters blaming "those rice eating, squinty eyed morons" for Frye not winning and demanding segregation.
The Tricolor thing is especially hilarious as it meant Team Frye actively flushed their defender bonus points down the toilet.
That poster is incorrect. Shiver was winning at halftime, but only by a margin. Halftime also only reflects open battles. Frye only won conchs at the start, that’s it.
>muh we are the most diverse team and will crush those shitlord zipperheads and leave them in the dustbin of history
This was X's take, at least.
They were born deluded. We didn't do anything.
Somehow the Fryefags deluded themselves into thinking she was the most popular for some reason.
And now that it's been clearly shown it couldn't be further from the truth, I'm seeins some coping with shit like
>if the splatfest had been regional, frye would've been the most popular in the west
I'm sad the Big Man lost but I'm happy Frye lost even harder.
I miss my Shiver Shirt 🙁
They might have shirts on the Nintendo store, I know they did it for the Zelda Splatfest.
I spent all night grinding an actually competent gear set

1/10 here's your reply
Two concerns here:
>Why use Drop Roller on a Splatling?
>masking in AD2023
You look like the Octoling version of Antifa (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, visually speaking)
drop roller for the inkjet recall
Oh, gotcha. Yeah the set seems fine, then.
>masking in AD2023
drop roller is useful on inkjet but not on splatling
>goth/emo attire
>antifa
this board is fucking deranged
>goth/emo
that's poserpunk at best
show me better
Something like that maybe
>goth
Not with this shirt it isn't
>emo
Put on some fucking slip-ons then
the ripped leggings look bad
pick something other than the mask
>the ripped leggings look bad
homosexual opinion
I'm just glad I can go back to playing fun moved instead of Turf War.
how come there are still no 9/11 comparisons? like free material for deranged chuds
They were all born after 9/11 so it’s not really part of their culture
The further away we get from 9/11 the less people are aware of just how fundamentally that shit changed American culture. It was pretty much the start of the modern surveillance state shitshow we find ourselves in.
Unfortunately true but so many are apathetic towards the blatant government power grabbing not to mention the illegal wars they waged and keep waging in the name of it. War…that reminds me of the great Turf Wars.
that's what you get for letting garden gnomes get away scot free
enjoy your trannies, immigrants, police state and eventual nuke from china
China really doesnt have that many nukes bro.
Also what the fuck were we supposed to do? even guys in their 30s now were teenagers when it happened. I was 14, what the fuck was I supposed to do?
Everyone was anti war until Obama came into office and then all of the sudden the democrats became pro-war and they have been ever since, it’s absolutely nuts.
use these guns you love so much to cull the garden gnome
You let Americans live rent free in your head. What country are you in?
It's not really insane when you realize Demorcart v Republican is a floor show to distract the masses from the fact that both "sides" are the same Israel worshiping warhawks only interested in securing their own power further.
No I mean I get that much. But what I dont get is how all of the people around me quickly changed their tune. I stayed anti-war, but I stopped being “liberal” because of the hypocrisies of other lefties that refused to call out the practices of the democrats and still do. Yet when George W was in power they were so vehemently anti-war. Now you see NONE of that. They were all so easily manipulated and just parrot whatever the media wants them to, it’s fucking pathetic.
Most people's understanding of politics goes about as deep as "Red good Blue bad" and vice versa. People aren't thinking about that shit critically they've got to focus on the latest sportsball game or celebrity drama. I used to be really passionate about trying to enact change but I've become increasingly blackpilled over the years due to the general apathy of the masses. Short of some kind of massive collapse and ensuing societal upheaval I don't see anything changing, people aren't hungry enough for it.
>17.73%
Jesus fucking Christ, Fryesistas are you okay?
They’re fucking dead.
Gone…turned to dust
I'm fine. I don't actually really like any of Deep Cut.
Big Betrayal is good though
So why’d you pick the ugly poojeeta then
No, I'm in great pain
Man, as much as i love current Pearl
…I wish we could have seen more of Pearl during her ”Death Metal” days
GGs, Fryefags.
Why do people, many being Shiver fans but not always, act like someone liking Frye as a character is impossible?
Because understanding differences in preferences requires an average IQ which Shivrfags lack
