Horribly, thanks for asking. Wanna cough up a lung. But at least I made it to Shiver Champ before going to bed. Hopefully I'll feel better after waking up and going for Shiver Queen. Just wish I hadn't done so horribly in my latest match. And yet still somehow on top of the ranks. Good luck to all the Shiver lovers today, I need to rest. Sorry I couldn't give it my all.
I've literally never won a 10X or 100X battle (haven't been in a 333X). Even when going into it with a team that had been on an 9 match win streak prior to it. We don't just lose, we get absolutely curbstomped, usually in the range of 30%-60%
>imagine choosing based off the idol
In fairness, that is literally the point of this specific splatfest and Shiver has undoubtedly influenced a lot of past ones.
I don't care if I win as long as Big Man loses. I just think he would be a terrible leader and either Shiver or Frye would do a good job at it so it wouldn't bother me either way.
>fags and chuds are so butt-blasted they would rather team up in-game on Shiver than actually properly fight
Not even remotely surprised at such barbaric behavior. They're so mad at having "lost" that this is how they get their rocks off.
I don't play that often and I just got my first mirror match squid party. I didn't want to be a dick and ruin it or anything, but damn, I didn't waste all that time queuing to be a weird autist for two minutes.
I tried, but I was the only one on my team to do it, and obviously the other team was leaving the squid party to ink often enough to win anyway, despite me having the most points. Oh well.
Shiver is the most likely team to win at this point right? She won open and most likely popularity. So the only way she loses is if Frye wins tricolor or if Big Man wins tricolor and pro, right? I think we've got this
That's not what it is dummy.
It's TOTAL CLOUT on Open and Pro so far. Meaning if for example Frye has a bigger Open clout distribution compared to Shiver, she got open, and if Big Man has a bigger Pro distribution, he got Pro. Even if Shiver technically has a little more in total, it won't mean shit until we see what the percentages are in the final.
There's no math. Pro is simply not included in the halftime report. This has already been proven.

First two splatfests don't count because tricolor=open back then so it did change the results, but after the update that made tricolor its own category the halftime/open winners have always been the same. See for yourself.
>Hispanicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour >Halftime: Sweet - 35.47% >Open: Sweet - 35.57%
>Dark Chocolate vs. Milk Chocolate vs. White Chocolate >Halftime: White Chocolate - 36.20% >Open: White Chocolate - 36.63%
>Nessie vs. Aliens vs. Bigfoot >Halftime: Nessie - 34.92% >Open: Nessie - 35.33%
>Power vs. Wisdom vs. Courage >Halftime: Power - 34.23% >Open: Power - 34.22%
>Vanilla vs. Strawberry vs. Mint Chip >Halftime: Vanilla - 33.94% >Open: Vanilla - 33.90%
>Money vs. Fame vs. Love >Halftime: Love - 33.85% >Open: Love - 33.85%
The fact is that after the update, halftime has always decide who won open and the percentages are always extremely close each time. They were exactly the same for Money vs. Fame vs. Love. It is literally proven that halftime only takes open battles into account. Shiver won open.
Frye won Conch
And she probably won Pro
and considering how many fucking mirror matches I'm getting she probably won Popularity for the first time ever too
That's pretty solid evidence that Shiver was winning so many Splatfests not because she was most popular but because Shiverfags are most likely to vote with their idol.
>Conch + pro/poen = 19 points >Popularity + pro/open= 20 points
Popularity just barely edges out conches so if Shiver is more popular, Frye has to win tricolor. I don't think Frye won popularity. I've been getting tons of mirrors on Shiver too and then there's Japan that's probably much more Shiver dominated. I think it's like how team love was in the west. I really think the odds are in Shiver's favor this time unless we totally fuck up tricolor.
If you beat your least favorite idol in their story mode boss level,you get 100000 clout in each category and -100000 on their one categories. Get going!
I didn't play tricolor this time because the first three matches were mirror matches (Big Man.)
Went back to pro and after two battles I got a 100x and won that.
The North American Splatoon userbase for anyone over 20 years old (all of you) would legitimately be one of the richest three letter agency honeypots in existence.
Easiest nonce raid in history.
Kek no this would be the worst way to do that. Nintendo is one of the oldest and most beloved game developers in the world. The overwhelming majority of people playing this game just like the game because they grew up with Nintendo games or think it's fun. Sounds like a waste of time and resources.
>gayass eliter on the defending team camping near spawn and picking off the pushers on undertow

You have to go 50 miles to hunt him down and pray your teammate tries for the ultra signal
>Switch to non main weapon >X100

>constantly teasing and bullying Harmony but she's such a god damn retard that she just keeps hanging out with you and now you're dating for some reason
Terrible idea simply by the fact that it would be POSSIBLE for 2 to win which would bring back terrible stages (humpback pump track in a third game in a row!) and Stingray/missile/armor spam in Splatoon 4
Shiver vs Frye vs Big Man was also predictable and boring and yet here we are

The anon that started this conversation already did. Basically anything is more interesting. They could a music fest to decide what kind of style the music goes for in the next game.
Kind of a mess but I like it. I think having additional categories for splatfest makes the results feel more fair and less like a popularity contest. It's also fun to have something else to play besides regular turf war.
these paint a bad picture if you've only been doing tricolor because the best way to win is to do nothing but dive the ultra stamp for the first 2 minutes
>Only got triforce four times so far >The first time somebody disconnected 20 seconds in >I keep getting hammerhead
Please just let me play the fun maps.
It's a bit of a meme right now that nobody chose Big Man in Japan, so he could definitely still be the least popular.
For you filthy gaijin, in the image she's trying to find Big Man's team because she's never encountered them.

this still has the probability of us losing half a percentage and frye winning half
and seeing how big man fags have decided to break tricolor by always siding with frye teams on defense then yeah, minimum we lost tricolor

You're going to finish playing this Splatfest. You're going to wait with bated breath to see the end results after. And they will come, and you will see them, and you know what'll happen then? You'll feel empty. Nothing. Because you'll realize that irregardless of the result, it won't change a thing. Deep Cut won't be going away, neither the group nor any of its members, and they will not improve in exchange either. Splatfest will continue as always; boring, played out, and frustrating. Tricolor will remain poorly executed. The potential ramifications of this Splatfest, if any beyond internet shitposting, will inevitably disappoint all expectant parties. And you will come to realize that Splatfest, and Turf War by extension, is a laborious and unrewarding activity; one best not repeated. In a sense, you already know all this deep down in your heart of hearts, but you've locked away this truth, afraid of what would come of confronting it. After all, this devil you know, but the future after abandoning turfing you do not. What would you do without it? What is there to do after? After all that time and effort spent on turfing, you can't just stop! You might just stop playing altogether!
But the band-aid must be ripped off, and sooner rather than later. But it mustn't be a terrible thing. The future need not be dark and unknowable, as it is not an ending, but a new beginning. For there is a mode out there that shines bright like a lighthouse on the shore, beckoning the lost and astray. A mode that loves you, that understands you, that can give you everything you've ever wanted. True camaraderie amongst allies and friends. The thrilling destruction of your enemies. The satisfaction of a job well done. Picture it! You know what it is; you can feel it in your soul. You always have. Do not ignore this yearning as you have before, for it is natural, it is right, it is essential!
Come! The sea calls, beckoning us to the shores, and it is your time to answer.
They would never do this because it would make players feel like they wasted their time. There's going to be a winner but it'll probably be inconsequential.
I want a Grizzco sponsored splatfest >GUESS WHICH OF THESE MONSTROSITIES HAVE BEEN SPOTTED APPROACHING THE SPLATLANDS COAST >three candidates for new boss salmonid >winner comes first >losers come later

Think of Smokeyard but a basket on each island. Two teams of 4 playing at the same time both trying to get eggs. You can't kill enemy team but you can grief them by painting over there ink and grabbing eggs from their bosses.
Then you could have SR related splatfests
i still wish big run was more like a splatfest and forced people into the wagecuckery, make it feel more like an actual emergency like people were predicting
Call me crazy but what if they just did it like they did with the tricolor maps this fest. Could be a random stage from the past big runs. Would make it feel like a big threat. That or I'm just sleep deprived.
unfucking believable
I just had a tricolor match where the attacking big man team was essentially acting as a second defending team, went straight to our base and were constantly attacking us the entire fucking time
2v6, such bullshit
Playing some tri-color and I swear it seems big man and frye got an alliance going, cause they’re playing hard. Every game we’re on defense, big men just rush in and nab the signals. Seem’s they’re really wanting that shiver loss
Just keep them in their spawn and it's fine. I switched to heavy edit and I can manage both members of a team for the majority of the game. Not much you can do while attacking but defending is pretty simple.
That's how Tricolor should be played, though. The teams of two should be cooperating to either secure a double signal for one team, or secure one signal per team for easier if lesser coverage. Once that's done, sure, feel free to stake a claim for showing off your actual winpose instead of nodding on the sidelines if you want
It's not the fault of people cooperating if people like to treat it like a 2v2v4 and carpet bomb the signal when the other 2-person team has a clear shot at it
Frye and Big Man are extra incentivized to cooperate when Shiver is defending so she doesn't get that juicy multiplier. Not that I expect the majority of the playerbase to even be thinking about this shit.
i saw a big man team walk across the map just to spawn camp shiver when frye was defending.
people really taking splatfests too seriously when it's supposed to be a friendly rivalry thing
I'm not surprised Shiver is leading at halftime. The meme voters mostly picked Big Man, because haha funny manta ray, and they're probably not very good at the game, and I heavily doubt most of the "I'm joining team Frye because she DESERVES to win" people are any good at the game.
retardkun, Shiver is being carried entirely by the japs, the western shiverfags are dogshit at the game, it's why the idols are pretty much equal in points.
>and I heavily doubt most of the "I'm joining team Frye because she DESERVES to win" people are any good at the game.
>Won't be enough people to make Frye win popularity >Might be shit enough at the game to tank Frye's winrate and lose her the Splatfest
These people are not helping at all. As a member of Team Frye I wish they'd just fuck off.
>Idol autists unironically ruining a fun gamemode that's only available once a month >results probably won't even influence anything
I just want to play Tricolor in peace
Just ragequit after my ABSOLUTE RETARD teammates completely ignored defending the ultra signal the ENTIRE MATCH. I am absolutely livid. This is after I had 2 matches in a row with a braindead retard that was dancing with an enemy player the entire match - in spite of me reporting him the first time the game paired me with that prick.
I am so done with this game. The matchmaking is a joke and the players are fucking imbeciles. Reporting them does literally nothing.
Please report them, especially if its obvious.
I have had blatant people throwing matches and had to resort to blocking them since the game would only match me with them again later. It's ridiculous.
Makes me question if this game has moderators whatsoever, as come to think of it I have literally never heard of someone getting an actual vacation/ban from breaking those rules.
>None of the single player campaigns have been shit >What is S2 story mode
You have no right to determine what’s good and what isn’t
2's main story was very bad.
You all just have ridiculously high standards. I thought they were both fun even if they were a little basic and easy, nothing about them were really bad though. I even 1000% Splatoon 2's hero mode. I don't think it's worth playing that many times but going through it once or twice is a decent time. Running through the hero mode stages feels completely different than playing hero mode and salmon run, especially with the hero mode specific gimmicks.

You all act like Splatoon needs to be something it isn't. What exactly do you want out of these games? There has never been a truly bad campaign. Just because you guys have crazy expectations doesn't mean they're bad. If you think they're bad rather than just mediocre then you honestly just don't like Splatoon's single player gameplay and nothing would fix that.

What more can be done with the single player within the confines of the regular controls? It's not like they're going to change the physics of the character, so level design can't get too crazy to function like more of a platformer. The weapons have to function like they do in multiplayer as well. Seriously, what do you guys want? We get different takes on the gameplay like collecting zapfish on MP stages, breaking all of the boxes, levels where you only use specials, stuff like the wave breaker jumping level, the rail levels. They add in stuff like sponges, bounce pads, and propellers to make how you interact with the level more unique. We get plenty of variety within the confines of what can be done with the Splatoon gameplay. I really can't see what else is expected here. Sounds like you guys want a spin-off that plays completely differently than Splatoon. They're fun for what they are.

I hate constantly seeing this revisionist history from zoomers who started with 2, and lump 1's campaign in with 2's because they didn't play it. I was there for Splatoon 1, the general consensus was that people really liked the campaign and that it was one of the better campaigns in a multiplayer shooter. DJ Octavio was considered one of the best final bosses in the past few years of video games at the time.

I started with 1, gay. I never liked its campaign and I do not care one iota if that puts me in the minority for saying so. It's my opinion and I am allowed to voice it. What, do you want me to grab a photo of my copies of the game or something? Would that make you believe me?
A lot of players are retards, but as a mode it does a piss-poor job conveying how you're supposed to play it. The majority of players do not understand that the attackers work together - if the other attacker wins, you win too. The game does not make this clear.
Honestly, it's a dumb mode all round, it should be an actual 3-way-battle on unique stages just for the mode, instead it's a poorly-balanced mess.
I obviously hoped Team Shiver would win when I joined on Friday. But now I hope we lose, because we fucking deserve to if this is how braindead retarded everyone on the team is going to be. Just lost 4 tricolors in a row as the defender where both attacking teams ended up at >30% and we were at or below 20% because my entire team decided to throw the game that we were winning in the last 20 seconds by not trying anymore.
Yeah, safe to say team shiver is definitely not winning tricolor battles when this shit is being pulled. Really hope the devs actually do something about the match throwing problem.
I don't understand why none of the splatfests have been regionlocked so far in 3, even though there are regions in the game and they even introduced a new asian region iirc, but don't use it??
There's that one guy that joined team ketchup back in the day to throw. So yeah, another anon bragged about doing the same thing to team Frye a few threads back as well.
Fuck it's going to be so difficult to go back to only 1 tricolor stage the whole day next Splatfest. Having 8 in the rotation at once is so much more fun.
I see 333x notifications for all teams all the time. I've never played one but there's like 3+ million matches going on every 3 minutes at least so there's probably constantly 333x battles happening.
Even in Splatoon 1? It couldn't even reach across camp triggerfish, it was more frustrating to play than anything for me. I like the current squiffer but it was trash in the first game.

You don't really think about limitations when things like air charging and charge storage weren't even a thing in Splatoon 1
I just liked being hyperaggressive with it and using it at super close range for fun
I played with the stupid mini-bow with the missiles so much that it's the only weapon I get consistent kills with (and no, not thanks to the missiles)
and ofc the gal 52 but it feels cheap
I like the minibow, it charges super quickly, has medium range and kills with one hit if you aim well...the issue is aiming well I guess
the long bow is pretty ass though, it has range but it's almost impossible to hit the three shots from afar, it's basically a zoning weapon and it's not even good at it
how do you use the long bow?
I kinda want to use it more but it feels like shit next to the short bow, takes too long to charge, it's almost impossible to get kills, barely paints even after buffs...
meanwhile the short bow instakills and it's top 2 or top 3 weapons that paint the most

Long bow insta kills too. It's even better at killing because a missed charge still sets off the explosion on the ground so you always scare out players. Try to use it like a blaster.

Tri stringer is more for harassing and area denial, but you can definitely also get kills with it. It's strong suits are the long range and the fact that you can shoot over things, which is an advantage it has over chargers.
I always recommend using it with thermal ink, it's not needed per se but it's really helpful to get some sneaky ass kills.
Also, it inks pretty well, but you gotta to it in a circle around you.

In order to one shot you have to hit all three shots simultaneously
It's harder than the reeflux because the arrows are bigger and so they don't all fit on the opponents body
The secret to oneshotting is >aim slightly below the inklings center of gravity/stomach >jump
Jumpshots change the shots to fire vertically and because inklings are longer than they are wide, all three shots will land
You aim low before you jump because the jump itself will make your cursor line up right in the enemies middle
Last patch also made regular shots easier to kill by buffing the damage of the exploding arrows so an enemy will get hit by a fully charged shot, get stuck in the ink, and then die when the expldoding arrows go off
Your also not really meat to get oneshots with it, it's a pressure weapon. You hit an enemy once, and then keep firing at them
Because the weapon fires in an arc you can hit opponents over walls and corners until they die
If you really want to use it then slap on some thermal ink, it's the ultimate piece of gear since you'll be able to see where the guys you didn't oneshot went and you can pick em off when they try to hide

>15 seconds left ><5% difference in turf inked >Ally team/teammate exclusively trying to get the ultra signal instead of inking turf >We lose
This happens so often. When will people finally realise that Tricolor is still Turf War and is won by inking the most turf?
That's what I've been saying, I can't wait. I'm hoping Shiver wins because the salt from all the twitter trannies that teamed up against Shiver would be too good. I'm sure no matter what this will be fun to watch though.
There's no way to know. People are assuming Shiver lost tri color based on a few Twitter clips showing collusion but she could still win without it if big man gets tri color and Frye only takes open or pro.
I'd be surprised if Shiver wins pro or tricolor
the one consistent theme of my battles is that shiverfags are a joke while BigManfags were actually competent
I think that's everyone, or maybe I'm just projecting. It's hard to be consistent all the time. I also just have weapons I know how to play against better. I can fuck up shooters but put a splatling on the enemy team and I'm useless.
I think 1800-2000 is about average so yeah you're probably right. I'm only slightly above that, 2000-2200. I'm pretty sure most lower level comp players are around 2300+. Some japs get to mid 3000s though so maybe I'm overestimating everything and we're all shit.

You guys are "inconsistent" at a high level. That's not average.
Gonna join a comp team because of you.
But nah for real I seriously think 1800-2000 is average. I've heard of people in NA not being able to find matches at all once they get around 1500-1600. If they can't find games at all at that power then I can't imagine the majority of players are somehow between 1600-1800.
That's not necessarily how that works. Matchmaking gives and subtracts powers differently depending on the power of the team you're facing. You could have a 50% win rate and still have a lower power than average. Your power seems pretty low.
You can't always control who your teammates are and I'm often the top of the scoreboard. I do pretty well individually most of the time, and I'm pretty content with it so long as it's positive so0 it doesn't really matter especially as worse players drop out of playing the game and I start doing worse.
I have no idea. I barely have more tricolor wins than losses this Splatfest, but I was top 5% last Big Run and ended it on Eggsecutive VP 400. My skill level fluctuates a lot.
There's no way to know. People are assuming Shiver lost tri color based on a few Twitter clips showing collusion but she could still win without it if big man gets tri color and Frye only takes open or pro.
yeah twitter clips are no way to guage anything when there are no telling how many battles happening at once. I have raped many frytards but all I hear are people saying team shiver is bad. Could go either way.
It kinda just depends on how you're feeling. I had a similar thing with Splatoon 1. I only got to level 12 or something (a few hours of playing) and thought it was just okay. I bought Splatoon 2 on a whim because there was nothing else to play on the Switch, I was not paying $60 for Mario Kart 8 again. Now Splatoon is my favorite game and I have 800+ hours in 3.
If you think you'd like it, go for it, you might get really into it.
Big Man wins open because they have the highest number of discord squads coordinating gear to maximize clout.
Shiver wins pro because all of the tryhard japs are on her team.
Frye wins tri color because I'm on team Frye and I played tri color a lot.
So yeah, Frye wins.
I have atleast 8 effective wins in Pro for big man
I have -48 effective wins in open (with players from the pool) because of shiverfag discord groomer 10x battles
It's really funny when the matchmaking fucks up and accidentally puts me in a lobby full of children so you end up seeing a big man supporter on defense standing there shooting at our sprinkler, trying to break it.
this outfit is giving me one hell of a hard time, but never let it be known i don't deliver (eventually)
you got this, shiverfags. don't make me regret joining your team just to have an excuse to make this
Nobody knows. I'm a Shiverfag and I win most of my games, especially on defense which is sick because I get the 1.5x bonus. Seems like other people are getting bullied by the other two teams though. We just have to wait and see tonight.
I finally decided to tag in final day and all ready I see shitters trying to bring IRL shit into a fun wee event. >it was 4chan fag posting about Robert Mueller
I already am doubting this fest purely cause of that but I'm getting fucked in tri-battles I hope shiver wins for the salt gods.
>need ONE fucking x10 win >like clockwork lose 3 in a row when i normally win >but yet i effortlessly stomp a x100 that doesnt even count toward the badge
i just want to stop playing
Im feeling demoralized now that I know my 4 100x wins wont count towards my 10x wins (also 4). I have 6 more 10x’s to go and it’s gonna be a pain trying to get them in the remaining fests. 6 hours left, gonna grind it out and see what happens
I suck so bad at this game and I can't place it.
I didn't have this problem in previous games.
I swear, other players kill me faster than I can even react, yet they don't die when I shoot them just as much. They always outspeed and outrange me, and somehow outflank me in ways that genuinely don't seem possible.
Granted, I'm a scrub and a fairly new player to 3 with garbage gear, but I still can't seem to get a grip on things no matter how hard I try. I'm always the guy who gets killed way more than kills.
NTA but does this actually help? I've always heard to watch pro players and watch back your replays but I don't see how it would be helpful. It's not like it'll improve my aim or my decision making during a match.
Horribly, thanks for asking. Wanna cough up a lung. But at least I made it to Shiver Champ before going to bed. Hopefully I'll feel better after waking up and going for Shiver Queen. Just wish I hadn't done so horribly in my latest match. And yet still somehow on top of the ranks. Good luck to all the Shiver lovers today, I need to rest. Sorry I couldn't give it my all.
You did fine GG's bro
Don't worry bro, ProChara is on OUR side
Fryecooks... Ganker told me that the Youtube/X clique was on our team...
>ProChara is on Team Shiver
>Squid School is on Team Shiver
Team Frye has been absolutely slandered on Ganker.
ive won two x100 and nine x10 for shiver
took a long ass break since i know i need only one more for the gold badge
>sixth 100x loss
>game gives me another one immediately
Make that seven
I think it's time to stop playing turf war. Go play tri colors instead.
I think you're right
But then how can I avenge myself?
by not feeding enemy even more points
buddy it's too late for you
What team?
Shiver
when fryetards win it will be YOUR fault
Thank you for your service
I've literally never won a 10X or 100X battle (haven't been in a 333X). Even when going into it with a team that had been on an 9 match win streak prior to it. We don't just lose, we get absolutely curbstomped, usually in the range of 30%-60%
whens the suicide room, salmonbros?
so are we getting shiver mirror matches in tricolor here
Holy shit, nice comeback. I am so sick of Goldsprays.
BOXBROS
god damn got another x100 for frye but had diarrhea right after
i wish all fryefags died from diarrhea
If you've never shit yourself for your idol, you never really tried.
lmao

It's fine. The Japs will save us. R-right?
If this ever happened to Frye you just know these terminally online freaks would be in nuclear meltdown mode.
we have lost every single fest and no we do not care we are having fun, you can stop trying to feel better than literally anyone now
>we
>we

imagine choosing based off the idol, you fucking deserve it. get your ass back to x.com you twitter chud.
>imagine choosing based off the idol
In fairness, that is literally the point of this specific splatfest and Shiver has undoubtedly influenced a lot of past ones.
>imagine choosing based off idol in the idol splatfest
>every single fest
sure gay
>Shiver wins? Makes her victory all the more satisfying
>Shiver loses? Doesn't count because they teamed up
This is far more toxic than anything ShiverSimps ever done.
leave it to twitter gays to gloat in their inability to earn things with their own efforts
>I don't care if I win so long as shiver LOSES
Incredibly cucked behavior
I don't care if I win as long as Big Man loses. I just think he would be a terrible leader and either Shiver or Frye would do a good job at it so it wouldn't bother me either way.
i'm a fryefag and at this point i honestly hope shiver wins just to spite these fucking trannies
I mean I’d do the same. Better to let big meme win than shiver if I’m an attacker
I have only 4 hours left, I still need 5 x10 wins. Its bene hours since I had my last x10.
Its over for me bros...
>twatter
kil yourself
Shiver room is back up
No one cares about splatoon. Splatoon 1, 2 and 3 were dead in 6 months. Why do you fags keep shitting up Ganker
god, i want to stick my dick in that mouth
I have to get some sleep. Good games to Shiver sisters and good luck to Frye gods while I'm asleep.
>fags and chuds are so butt-blasted they would rather team up in-game on Shiver than actually properly fight
Not even remotely surprised at such barbaric behavior. They're so mad at having "lost" that this is how they get their rocks off.
It's not about winning it's about sending a message.
Is there a way to see how many 10x you won so far? I lost count somewhere between 4 and 10
I don't play that often and I just got my first mirror match squid party. I didn't want to be a dick and ruin it or anything, but damn, I didn't waste all that time queuing to be a weird autist for two minutes.
You're a weird autist all the time. Just ink to yourself and move on.
I tried, but I was the only one on my team to do it, and obviously the other team was leaving the squid party to ink often enough to win anyway, despite me having the most points. Oh well.
Kill all friendly gays. Behead squid party gays. I am ALWAYS the dick and I WILL splat friendly enemies. No exception
yeah, shit like this just wants you to quit the match and join a new one.
hate how you still get punished for a match that doesn't even count
i love bullying yellow team in tricolor
no bully. Yellow are friends
you're not "friend" fryetard
I am so fucking sick of double Goldspray Tentatek comps. Enjoy dodging Booyah Bombs and Triple Inkstrikes all game.
Frye has a great ass.
I just hit Ruler +7. What level are you guys at?
+6
Ruler 8
shiv ruler 8
Can you join a splatfest while it's already on, I've not played in a while
No. You are locked out of the entire game.
Oh nooooo
Shiver is the most likely team to win at this point right? She won open and most likely popularity. So the only way she loses is if Frye wins tricolor or if Big Man wins tricolor and pro, right? I think we've got this
>She won open
lol lmao
That's literally what halftime is, anon. She already won open, they told us.
That's not what it is dummy.
It's TOTAL CLOUT on Open and Pro so far. Meaning if for example Frye has a bigger Open clout distribution compared to Shiver, she got open, and if Big Man has a bigger Pro distribution, he got Pro. Even if Shiver technically has a little more in total, it won't mean shit until we see what the percentages are in the final.
You wish that was true. Wait until the results. Shiver won open.
>t. mathlet
There's no math. Pro is simply not included in the halftime report. This has already been proven.
Uhmm, you're just wrong because I say you are, okay?
Yeah that's exactly what you said to me. Where did you hear pro was included? Just wait for the results, Shiver winning open has already been confirmed
>"you're wrong because I said so"
>get proven wrong with statistics
>stops replying
What a fag. Enjoy losing to Shiver for the 5th time in a row lmao.
First two splatfests don't count because tricolor=open back then so it did change the results, but after the update that made tricolor its own category the halftime/open winners have always been the same. See for yourself.
>Hispanicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour
>Halftime: Sweet - 35.47%
>Open: Sweet - 35.57%
>Dark Chocolate vs. Milk Chocolate vs. White Chocolate
>Halftime: White Chocolate - 36.20%
>Open: White Chocolate - 36.63%
>Nessie vs. Aliens vs. Bigfoot
>Halftime: Nessie - 34.92%
>Open: Nessie - 35.33%
>Power vs. Wisdom vs. Courage
>Halftime: Power - 34.23%
>Open: Power - 34.22%
>Vanilla vs. Strawberry vs. Mint Chip
>Halftime: Vanilla - 33.94%
>Open: Vanilla - 33.90%
>Money vs. Fame vs. Love
>Halftime: Love - 33.85%
>Open: Love - 33.85%
The fact is that after the update, halftime has always decide who won open and the percentages are always extremely close each time. They were exactly the same for Money vs. Fame vs. Love. It is literally proven that halftime only takes open battles into account. Shiver won open.
Frye won Conch
And she probably won Pro
and considering how many fucking mirror matches I'm getting she probably won Popularity for the first time ever too
Frye sweep here we go!
That's pretty solid evidence that Shiver was winning so many Splatfests not because she was most popular but because Shiverfags are most likely to vote with their idol.
>Conch + pro/poen = 19 points
>Popularity + pro/open= 20 points
Popularity just barely edges out conches so if Shiver is more popular, Frye has to win tricolor. I don't think Frye won popularity. I've been getting tons of mirrors on Shiver too and then there's Japan that's probably much more Shiver dominated. I think it's like how team love was in the west. I really think the odds are in Shiver's favor this time unless we totally fuck up tricolor.
You're getting teamed up with people from your region
Shiver won popularity in Japan 100% and the majority of players are Japanese
Is the golden idol badge for ten 10x wins or just participations?
Wins
Fug
I'm so fucked
I couldn't play yesterday because of a fuckin birthday ;_;
I'm guessing you can't get x10 battles and the like from tri-color battles, right?
Nope
If you beat your least favorite idol in their story mode boss level,you get 100000 clout in each category and -100000 on their one categories. Get going!
I didn't play tricolor this time because the first three matches were mirror matches (Big Man.)
Went back to pro and after two battles I got a 100x and won that.
>get another Frye Tricolor mirror match
>disconnect to spare my fellow fryechads 3 minutes of their lives
I'll enjoy this ten minute break
Shiver chads... It's over.
Frye chads... it's over.
Big Man chads... It's over.
Because the true winner of this Spla
Damn, the jellies got to him before he could finish the post
Death to all Jellies. Squitler did nothing wrong.

Won a lot of x100.
Lost almost half of my x10.
I guess the golden Shiver badge wasn't for me from the start.
The retarded Shivermorons are waking up. Time to quit.
WE'RE SO BACK

What are you talking about? Take your meds.
Kek no this would be the worst way to do that. Nintendo is one of the oldest and most beloved game developers in the world. The overwhelming majority of people playing this game just like the game because they grew up with Nintendo games or think it's fun. Sounds like a waste of time and resources.

Won 3 100x battles, got my golden deep cut badges and have over 1 million clout. I really enjoyed this splatfest.
Frye won another x333 I'm confident she will win this
Well I'm confident that Shiver will win this and I can't wait for the seething it will cause on Twitter
caring what fags do on twitter maybe you should live there
Why can I not laugh at chuds seething?
A jackpot, surely...
Good luck. How long have you been collecting those?

I picked the goo tuber out of boredom and it gave me a 100x
She’s so cute

In ten hours.

imagine if splatfests ended after this lmao
There will eventually be the final next game theme defining splatfest like 2 had.
I bet it'll be past vs present vs future
I bet it'll be Squid Sisters vs Off the Hook vs Deep Cut
Fuck the idols, just go straight for Splatoon 1 vs 2 vs 3
Terrible idea simply by the fact that it would be POSSIBLE for 2 to win which would bring back terrible stages (humpback pump track in a third game in a row!) and Stingray/missile/armor spam in Splatoon 4
Based
Cringe
They're clearly setting up for it since we know that Splatoon 2's hub is coming as a reward for Side Order
It's the most predictable option and extremely boring. It won't happen.
Shiver vs Frye vs Big Man was also predictable and boring and yet here we are
Yeah but it was for the anniversary, it's much less of a big deal than the final fest. And getting the idol competition out of the way is a good sign that the final fest will be something a little more interesting
>extremely boring
name a single interesting fest in 3
you can't
rock v paper v scissors was the most interesting one and it didn't even count
The anon that started this conversation already did. Basically anything is more interesting. They could a music fest to decide what kind of style the music goes for in the next game.
We have at least another year. We might even have two years.
I've won 12 out of 15 tri-color matches for team frye, defending hammerhead bridge is absolutely impossible though
It's been a year now, thoughts on Tricolor?
It's just ok.
i like making a suicide dash for the rocket, also bullying fryes team
Kind of a mess but I like it. I think having additional categories for splatfest makes the results feel more fair and less like a popularity contest. It's also fun to have something else to play besides regular turf war.
>shiverfriends on the pool actually know how to play
finally good shit

these paint a bad picture if you've only been doing tricolor because the best way to win is to do nothing but dive the ultra stamp for the first 2 minutes

Just got a full tricolor mirror match for Big Man
Didn’t even know that was a possibility
big man is actually the least voted?
Not in USA. As a member of Team Frye, I have fought twice as many Big Man teams as Shiver Teams (32 and 16) out of the 48 I counted.
It's a bit of a meme right now that nobody chose Big Man in Japan, so he could definitely still be the least popular.
For you filthy gaijin, in the image she's trying to find Big Man's team because she's never encountered them.
It's kinda weird, almost every jap on my friends list chose big man
How do you know nips? Do you understand the runes?
College, granted it's only a handful.
Damn lucky. Mine doesn't have any. I can kind of speak (moderately broken) Japanese and I want to get practice but it feels impossible to meet any of them. Hopefully you're taking advantage of the opportunity you have here.
I had that but didn’t get into learning Japanese until I graduated
Then explain this
what do you mean explain this, I was legitmately asking since the guy I replied to made it seem that way by being surprised a big man tri mirror was possible
My bad, thought (you) were saying that it wasn’t possible because team Big Man didn’t have enough players.
Is it time for the early Shiver celebration?
no, it could still go to any team, don't get too cocky and keep beating those fryefags and bigsissies
why?
we lost conch count by 2 entire percentage points
we BARELY won the half time
it's anyone's game, the only one who is sure to lose is big man
Conch doesn't matter because it's worth less than popularity and results are always close so getting almost 1% is a big lead. We've definitely already won
less than 1% is nothing if it was 1.5+% then yeah I might agree but this is just frye fags getting slightly more lucky and we lose
See
Halftime and open results are always less than 1% off and always the same winner for both. Go ahead and temper your expectations if you want but we've got this. I'm extremely confident in our victory.
this still has the probability of us losing half a percentage and frye winning half
and seeing how big man fags have decided to break tricolor by always siding with frye teams on defense then yeah, minimum we lost tricolor
It has never happened before so I doubt we'll somehow lose open now after winning halftime. It's really all up to tricolor to decide who wins.
>can't play with anons due to work

I'm not gonna make it

You're going to finish playing this Splatfest. You're going to wait with bated breath to see the end results after. And they will come, and you will see them, and you know what'll happen then? You'll feel empty. Nothing. Because you'll realize that irregardless of the result, it won't change a thing. Deep Cut won't be going away, neither the group nor any of its members, and they will not improve in exchange either. Splatfest will continue as always; boring, played out, and frustrating. Tricolor will remain poorly executed. The potential ramifications of this Splatfest, if any beyond internet shitposting, will inevitably disappoint all expectant parties. And you will come to realize that Splatfest, and Turf War by extension, is a laborious and unrewarding activity; one best not repeated. In a sense, you already know all this deep down in your heart of hearts, but you've locked away this truth, afraid of what would come of confronting it. After all, this devil you know, but the future after abandoning turfing you do not. What would you do without it? What is there to do after? After all that time and effort spent on turfing, you can't just stop! You might just stop playing altogether!
But the band-aid must be ripped off, and sooner rather than later. But it mustn't be a terrible thing. The future need not be dark and unknowable, as it is not an ending, but a new beginning. For there is a mode out there that shines bright like a lighthouse on the shore, beckoning the lost and astray. A mode that loves you, that understands you, that can give you everything you've ever wanted. True camaraderie amongst allies and friends. The thrilling destruction of your enemies. The satisfaction of a job well done. Picture it! You know what it is; you can feel it in your soul. You always have. Do not ignore this yearning as you have before, for it is natural, it is right, it is essential!
Come! The sea calls, beckoning us to the shores, and it is your time to answer.
I'm not reading all of that
so which team did ya pick?
Do nerds really find this amusing? I didn't even read two sentences from this.
True I do miss ranked modes during splatfests.
Nah, played a couple hours after the half time report and got to Queen Rank, not playing anymore.
We're worried about you Lil Judd
I'm guessing Side Order is 90% finished and this Splatfest is gonna determine how a cutscene involving Deep Cut will play out
I fully expect this splatfest to not have a winner.
Just as they're about to reveal the score it gets interrupted.
They would never do this because it would make players feel like they wasted their time. There's going to be a winner but it'll probably be inconsequential.
They'll give out extra shells to everyone as an apology.
It will be the case only if Frye will be the supposed winner
>Mr. Grizz crashes from orbit, destroying the studio and reclaiming his headset from lil judd

I want a multi team SR.
Think of Smokeyard but a basket on each island. Two teams of 4 playing at the same time both trying to get eggs. You can't kill enemy team but you can grief them by painting over there ink and grabbing eggs from their bosses.
Then you could have SR related splatfests
i still wish big run was more like a splatfest and forced people into the wagecuckery, make it feel more like an actual emergency like people were predicting
That would cause the score required for top 5% to plummet
Final big run will be splatsville square screenshot this
I’d wager big man
>Final big run will be splatsville square
How would that even work during high and low tide?
Idk
Final big run should either be cargo co or crab leg capital.
Call me crazy but what if they just did it like they did with the tricolor maps this fest. Could be a random stage from the past big runs. Would make it feel like a big threat. That or I'm just sleep deprived.
>Late night JP time
>All of a sudden Snipewriters with god tier aim start ending up in my matches

I just had a tricolor match where the attacking big man team was essentially acting as a second defending team, went straight to our base and were constantly attacking us the entire fucking time
2v6, such bullshit
let me guess, you were team shiver
why is friendly fire allowed on tri-color
muh chaos
fighting for frye
>30m spent on shell-out machine
>still don't have the title I want
don't have the title I want
Marie Fan for me, fucking shit game.
I got Marie fan. But I wanted Callie fan
We need a total and complete shutdown of the competitive Splatoon commentary until we can figure out what is going on!
Oh god that eunuch hunch
I wanted to get into playing Splatoon competitively but now I'm not too sure.
wtf
at one point things will get so out of control that we'll have to put all these people back into asylums
it's unsustainable
STOP GIVING ME LIQUID SUNSHINE!!!
It should be a normal MP song, its not good enough to be a Splatfest song
Why don't you want the best splatfest song?
liquid sunshine is good
Playing some tri-color and I swear it seems big man and frye got an alliance going, cause they’re playing hard. Every game we’re on defense, big men just rush in and nab the signals. Seem’s they’re really wanting that shiver loss
Just keep them in their spawn and it's fine. I switched to heavy edit and I can manage both members of a team for the majority of the game. Not much you can do while attacking but defending is pretty simple.
They literally do.
Explains a lot. Now i’ve been on a massive losing streak all morning. They play so aggro no matter what I do they push against it hard to win
Yep. Fuck Shiver.
you cannot even defeat us with your own strength, pathetic
>2v1
>Still lose
LOL imagine.
I played tricolor 3 times
won all three including an attacking one with big man cowards
My job here is done
That's how Tricolor should be played, though. The teams of two should be cooperating to either secure a double signal for one team, or secure one signal per team for easier if lesser coverage. Once that's done, sure, feel free to stake a claim for showing off your actual winpose instead of nodding on the sidelines if you want
It's not the fault of people cooperating if people like to treat it like a 2v2v4 and carpet bomb the signal when the other 2-person team has a clear shot at it
Frye and Big Man are extra incentivized to cooperate when Shiver is defending so she doesn't get that juicy multiplier. Not that I expect the majority of the playerbase to even be thinking about this shit.
i saw a big man team walk across the map just to spawn camp shiver when frye was defending.
people really taking splatfests too seriously when it's supposed to be a friendly rivalry thing
i keep getting paired with the most retarded big man teams who just attack everyone
I don't care who wins as long as the winner makes the community seethe
Literally anyone will make people seethe.
This thread will go up in flames if Frye wins for example.
>defending in tri color
>two teammates left
>was spawn trapped by a sweated gold aerospray
gee thanks.
I'm not surprised Shiver is leading at halftime. The meme voters mostly picked Big Man, because haha funny manta ray, and they're probably not very good at the game, and I heavily doubt most of the "I'm joining team Frye because she DESERVES to win" people are any good at the game.
retardkun, Shiver is being carried entirely by the japs, the western shiverfags are dogshit at the game, it's why the idols are pretty much equal in points.
>Shiver is being carried entirely by the japs
I got a 333x win for Shiver yesterday, and I ain't no slant-eye.
Big Man is crushing it.
>and I heavily doubt most of the "I'm joining team Frye because she DESERVES to win" people are any good at the game.

These people are not helping at all. As a member of Team Frye I wish they'd just fuck off.
I wish you would fuck off from my game fryefag
When will the devs give us cute e-boi idols that are the same age as the playable inklings?
I mean callie and marie weren't much older than the player in 1
They were still too old
I love squid children
We all do
Never. I'll take more Marie hags, please.
You will get your zoomer e-celeb idols and you will like it

why do i see so many frye banners in EU? Did everyone just make amerifat account purely for banners or i actually get matched with them for no reason?
if you use this weapon, let me tell you one thing: gay
Just ragequit after my ABSOLUTE RETARD teammates completely ignored defending the ultra signal the ENTIRE MATCH. I am absolutely livid. This is after I had 2 matches in a row with a braindead retard that was dancing with an enemy player the entire match - in spite of me reporting him the first time the game paired me with that prick.
I am so done with this game. The matchmaking is a joke and the players are fucking imbeciles. Reporting them does literally nothing.
I swear there's a shitload of people on Shiver just throwing games.
I can attest to this at least. I've had so many matches with throwers
Please report them, especially if its obvious.
I have had blatant people throwing matches and had to resort to blocking them since the game would only match me with them again later. It's ridiculous.
Makes me question if this game has moderators whatsoever, as come to think of it I have literally never heard of someone getting an actual vacation/ban from breaking those rules.
>matching with anons from the pool in pro
it means you live near each other
>yfw Shiver somehow gets decimated despite being ahead at Halftime
she's ahead by the tiniest margin
also it's only on open
it's anyones game
Shiver's team has been sabotaged by twitterfags
I will quit the game entirely if its a landslide victory for any team besides Shiver.
m-marina!!??
When is she coming back from the war? We probably won't get any side order news for the next direct either
I fully expect another trailer for side order in the next direct but only another teaser without a release date
I honestly think Side Order will be shit
None of the single player campaigns have been shit so I'm not sure what makes you think that. It will be underwhelming at worst.
>None of the single player campaigns have been shit
Disagree.
1 and 2's main campaigns were shit
You all just have ridiculously high standards. I thought they were both fun even if they were a little basic and easy, nothing about them were really bad though. I even 1000% Splatoon 2's hero mode. I don't think it's worth playing that many times but going through it once or twice is a decent time. Running through the hero mode stages feels completely different than playing hero mode and salmon run, especially with the hero mode specific gimmicks.
>Running through the hero mode stages feels completely different than playing hero mode and salmon run
Meant multiplayer and salmon run. It's much less hectic and focuses more on platforming challenges. It's fun.
No, anon, you simply have low standards.
I can understand liking 1's story mode for the novelty but 2's is plain bad - it merely recycles 1's ideas and even blatantly copy-pastes the bosses.
How does reusing content make the content any worse? A good chunk of the bosses were new like the bread one and the samurai. Even if it reused ideas it was still a fun time. And besides, the levels were the most important part and all of those were new.
>How does reusing content make the content any worse?
Because splatoon 1's levels weren't very good to begin with. As I already said, 1 and 2's campaigns were both bad.
>A rehash of a campaign with good gameplay
Strong disagee. 1's campaign isn't good. Literally only the final boss sticks out and that's mostly for the novelty of it in the moment.
>t. played all 3 games as they released (I stil have my copy of splat1 wii u laying around)
>No, you don’t understand! Just lower your standards of quality and it’s good, I promise!
It’s people like who are the reason we can’t get nice things, just complacent in what we get and never demanding better
You all act like Splatoon needs to be something it isn't. What exactly do you want out of these games? There has never been a truly bad campaign. Just because you guys have crazy expectations doesn't mean they're bad. If you think they're bad rather than just mediocre then you honestly just don't like Splatoon's single player gameplay and nothing would fix that.
What more can be done with the single player within the confines of the regular controls? It's not like they're going to change the physics of the character, so level design can't get too crazy to function like more of a platformer. The weapons have to function like they do in multiplayer as well. Seriously, what do you guys want? We get different takes on the gameplay like collecting zapfish on MP stages, breaking all of the boxes, levels where you only use specials, stuff like the wave breaker jumping level, the rail levels. They add in stuff like sponges, bounce pads, and propellers to make how you interact with the level more unique. We get plenty of variety within the confines of what can be done with the Splatoon gameplay. I really can't see what else is expected here. Sounds like you guys want a spin-off that plays completely differently than Splatoon. They're fun for what they are.
More levels like after Alterna.
My biggest problem with it is that it's far too easy, like they designed it for the little timmy market (which they probably did), this makes it dull and tedious to play through for anyone with half a brain.
So the main complaint isn't the gameplay, it's just that it's too easy for you? This is why I said you guys have your standards too high. It's a Nintendo game, that's what they do. I wish for the day that Mario games be as difficult as they were on NES but that's just how they are now. It doesn't mean the gameplay of the newer games isn't enjoyable for what they are though.
I complain whenever any Nintendo game is too easy, not just splatoon. As matter of fact, I got an email for a Pikmin 4 survery, guess when I told them?
We wanted splatoon campaigns to change so it wouldn’t be mario galaxy lite
He's obviously talking about gameplay and not the actual story.
I was also talking about gameplay. 2's campaign has bad gameplay, it's a literal rehash of 1.
A rehash of a campaign with good gameplay means it also has good gameplay.
The force awakens is a great movie then
No because it was only a half-rehash
the non rehashed part is shit.
Nice try chud it is a great movie because daisy ridley is on team big man try again
It is according to rlm
>1's main campaign was shit
I hate constantly seeing this revisionist history from zoomers who started with 2, and lump 1's campaign in with 2's because they didn't play it. I was there for Splatoon 1, the general consensus was that people really liked the campaign and that it was one of the better campaigns in a multiplayer shooter. DJ Octavio was considered one of the best final bosses in the past few years of video games at the time.
I started with 1, gay. I never liked its campaign and I do not care one iota if that puts me in the minority for saying so. It's my opinion and I am allowed to voice it. What, do you want me to grab a photo of my copies of the game or something? Would that make you believe me?
>None of the single player campaigns have been shit
>What is S2 story mode
You have no right to determine what’s good and what isn’t
you have no right to determine what's shit and what isn't
2's main story was very bad.
>splat 2 base campaign
>splat 3 base campaign
>not shit
Lol
Lmao
How is Splat 3's campaign shit, what?
It's easily the best base campaign.
nintentoddlers everyone.
Why dont you apply the Octo exp standard instead.
Honestly I think splat 3's campaign is just as good as octo expansion. All it needed was an inner agent 3 type boss.
Splat 3 has the best base campaign of any of them. Plus I totally dig the music in each zone.

>Play tricolor battle as attacker
>Other attacking team wants only to attack me
>We lose handily
Why are all tricolors like this? It's like literally nobody knows how this mode works even after a year.
A lot of players are retards, but as a mode it does a piss-poor job conveying how you're supposed to play it. The majority of players do not understand that the attackers work together - if the other attacker wins, you win too. The game does not make this clear.
Honestly, it's a dumb mode all round, it should be an actual 3-way-battle on unique stages just for the mode, instead it's a poorly-balanced mess.
Did anyone else get no fucking 10x battles? I'm already champion after starting late and I haven't seen a single one.
They don't appear in Tri battles
I played only in open, but now I feel like fucking off to tricolor without my badges.
I've had more 100x than I have 10x battles this fest.
I obviously hoped Team Shiver would win when I joined on Friday. But now I hope we lose, because we fucking deserve to if this is how braindead retarded everyone on the team is going to be. Just lost 4 tricolors in a row as the defender where both attacking teams ended up at >30% and we were at or below 20% because my entire team decided to throw the game that we were winning in the last 20 seconds by not trying anymore.
Just had a Tricolor vs Big Man on defense, Frye's team sat in their spawn and did nothing the entire match so Big Man could spawn camp us
Report them.
Doesn't matter, they won't get banned soon enough to make a difference
Yeah, safe to say team shiver is definitely not winning tricolor battles when this shit is being pulled. Really hope the devs actually do something about the match throwing problem.
Maybe they should look into regionlocking splatfests again so we don't have all this drama in the first place?
I don't understand why none of the splatfests have been regionlocked so far in 3, even though there are regions in the game and they even introduced a new asian region iirc, but don't use it??
They won't get banned period.
>both teams spawn camp us on tri-color
IT'S OVER
Haven't touched the game since I beat the story campaign I don't play multiplayer
Waiting for Side Order DLC
Go play salmon run retard
Stupid as hell. Probably pees her pants.
She heard you talking shit about her and she is going to be on YOUR crew next shift
>blows the entire shift and STILL asks if we can go get gelato after
I can carry her. And then I'll take her to Wahoo World after.
Do people really hate shiver that much that they would join the team they want to lose and just not play the game?
There's that one guy that joined team ketchup back in the day to throw. So yeah, another anon bragged about doing the same thing to team Frye a few threads back as well.
I bet it was a false flag
I hate Shiverfags, not Shiver herself.
send some screenshots of shiver in the splatfest
i'm too lazy to google them and i need them for something, also i've already got too many tabs open
Will do.
Sent 😉
thank you anon
Fuck it's going to be so difficult to go back to only 1 tricolor stage the whole day next Splatfest. Having 8 in the rotation at once is so much more fun.
inb4 Big Man and Frye lose tricolor due to all their throwing
Nah, I firmly believe Big Man will win.
This, I got so many notifications of him winning 333x it's silly. I've never even seen a 333x
I see 333x notifications for all teams all the time. I've never played one but there's like 3+ million matches going on every 3 minutes at least so there's probably constantly 333x battles happening.
Seeing a Big Man upset would be great
Little do they know that like Ian BGM, we’ve been undercover racking up those multiplier battles
I meant he'd win at tricolor, not the whole thing.
>that hydra on frye team
no matter what I do, I get splatted by this fag
I sincerely hope that Big Man wins only tricolor so that Shiver wins by default.
>it's a "teammate never attempts to capture the signal once" episode
I'm going to kill myself
>it’s a try and lay down a bubbler but accidentally grab the signal episode
im the teammate
>made an eliter ragequit with my squiffer
I think that's a good way to end this splatfest
Why the fuck are you using squiffer
because I've mained it since 2015
Why would you main it in Splatoon 1? You couldn't even charge it in the air back then. It was just a bad charger with no range.
There's no better feeling than wiping out an entire team in 6 seconds with perfect snipes
Even in Splatoon 1? It couldn't even reach across camp triggerfish, it was more frustrating to play than anything for me. I like the current squiffer but it was trash in the first game.
You don't really think about limitations when things like air charging and charge storage weren't even a thing in Splatoon 1
I just liked being hyperaggressive with it and using it at super close range for fun
I like hard to use weapons because I think they'll improve my skill dramatically
besides I just won a 100x with it 5 seconds ago
I played with the stupid mini-bow with the missiles so much that it's the only weapon I get consistent kills with (and no, not thanks to the missiles)
and ofc the gal 52 but it feels cheap
NTA but I really wish the stringers were better. Both splatanas are very strong weapons and it feels like stringers got shafted.
I like the minibow, it charges super quickly, has medium range and kills with one hit if you aim well...the issue is aiming well I guess
the long bow is pretty ass though, it has range but it's almost impossible to hit the three shots from afar, it's basically a zoning weapon and it's not even good at it
I love the reef flux and the tri stringer and have them level 5 along with the squiffer
how do you use the long bow?
I kinda want to use it more but it feels like shit next to the short bow, takes too long to charge, it's almost impossible to get kills, barely paints even after buffs...
meanwhile the short bow instakills and it's top 2 or top 3 weapons that paint the most
>meanwhile the short bow instakills
Long bow insta kills too. It's even better at killing because a missed charge still sets off the explosion on the ground so you always scare out players. Try to use it like a blaster.
Tri stringer is more for harassing and area denial, but you can definitely also get kills with it. It's strong suits are the long range and the fact that you can shoot over things, which is an advantage it has over chargers.
I always recommend using it with thermal ink, it's not needed per se but it's really helpful to get some sneaky ass kills.
Also, it inks pretty well, but you gotta to it in a circle around you.
In order to one shot you have to hit all three shots simultaneously
It's harder than the reeflux because the arrows are bigger and so they don't all fit on the opponents body
The secret to oneshotting is
>aim slightly below the inklings center of gravity/stomach
>jump
Jumpshots change the shots to fire vertically and because inklings are longer than they are wide, all three shots will land
You aim low before you jump because the jump itself will make your cursor line up right in the enemies middle
Last patch also made regular shots easier to kill by buffing the damage of the exploding arrows so an enemy will get hit by a fully charged shot, get stuck in the ink, and then die when the expldoding arrows go off
Your also not really meat to get oneshots with it, it's a pressure weapon. You hit an enemy once, and then keep firing at them
Because the weapon fires in an arc you can hit opponents over walls and corners until they die
If you really want to use it then slap on some thermal ink, it's the ultimate piece of gear since you'll be able to see where the guys you didn't oneshot went and you can pick em off when they try to hide
Thanks, most of it I knew already as a short bow user but the thermal ink and the exploding arrows buff I didn't know
Will try with thermal ink
I've been watching the Riptide tourney on the side, and holy shit the downtime between sets is insane.
> Win every x100 the game threw at me. Including 3 with anons.
> Ruler +8 and still no gold icons badges.
Why does x100 and x333 doesn't count ?
agreed. sounds retarded
does a single anon have the gold x10 battles badges yet?
>15 seconds left
><5% difference in turf inked
>Ally team/teammate exclusively trying to get the ultra signal instead of inking turf
>We lose
This happens so often. When will people finally realise that Tricolor is still Turf War and is won by inking the most turf?
I've won several times on offense with no signals by just inking the enemy spawn at the last moment.
yeah that shit happened to me earlier and man did it bother me
to the anon that wanted pics of shiver
The real winner of the splatfest will be whoever will enjoy the salt coming in the next 10ish hours
That's what I've been saying, I can't wait. I'm hoping Shiver wins because the salt from all the twitter trannies that teamed up against Shiver would be too good. I'm sure no matter what this will be fun to watch though.
you voted with your dick
But I hate octolings. Inklings should have always stayed as the only important species, both in terms of playability and being an idol.
So does it look like Frye/Big Man are pulling ahead? I don't care as long as Shitter doesn't win.
There's no way to know. People are assuming Shiver lost tri color based on a few Twitter clips showing collusion but she could still win without it if big man gets tri color and Frye only takes open or pro.
>collusion
no frye team in tricolor seems to understand that we're working together against shiver
I'd be surprised if Shiver wins pro or tricolor
the one consistent theme of my battles is that shiverfags are a joke while BigManfags were actually competent
Be honest, how bad are you?
I'm pretty bad. Any anon that's played SR or turf with me can attest to that.
Someone have the edit of this where the third guy spills his coke all over the keyboard and starts screaming?
pretty good generally with occasional moments of either absolutely god tier or absolutely retard tier play
I think that's everyone, or maybe I'm just projecting. It's hard to be consistent all the time. I also just have weapons I know how to play against better. I can fuck up shooters but put a splatling on the enemy team and I'm useless.
Never hit top 500 so I'm irredeemably shit
I'm definitely top 5 on the board in ranked and bottom 5 in salmon run.
I used to be pretty good but I've barely played for the last 3 seasons so I'm way out of practice
I spank silver and regular x rank badge holders once in a bluemoon and I'm probably the best salmonrunner in the board
I got like 1770 power in pro
So pretty average I think? I don't really know
Slightly above average. I usually get around 1500-1600 in power level.
I'm sorry anon but I think that's below average
it's way below average
I'm inconsistent as shit in x rank and I'm like 1800-2000 at best
I don't think I've even seen 1600 in this game
I think 1800-2000 is about average so yeah you're probably right. I'm only slightly above that, 2000-2200. I'm pretty sure most lower level comp players are around 2300+. Some japs get to mid 3000s though so maybe I'm overestimating everything and we're all shit.
2900+ is where the best of the best are
anything over that is the top 0.1 percent
You guys are "inconsistent" at a high level. That's not average.
Gonna join a comp team because of you.
But nah for real I seriously think 1800-2000 is average. I've heard of people in NA not being able to find matches at all once they get around 1500-1600. If they can't find games at all at that power then I can't imagine the majority of players are somehow between 1600-1800.
No it isn't. I get positive wins and kills though it's almost 50% so that means I'm part of the upper 50% which is above average.
That's not necessarily how that works. Matchmaking gives and subtracts powers differently depending on the power of the team you're facing. You could have a 50% win rate and still have a lower power than average. Your power seems pretty low.
You can't always control who your teammates are and I'm often the top of the scoreboard. I do pretty well individually most of the time, and I'm pretty content with it so long as it's positive so0 it doesn't really matter especially as worse players drop out of playing the game and I start doing worse.
I have no idea. I barely have more tricolor wins than losses this Splatfest, but I was top 5% last Big Run and ended it on Eggsecutive VP 400. My skill level fluctuates a lot.
Inklings with the hime cut always look intimidating. Maybe because I associate it with the japanese players always using it
konichiwa dude!
yeah twitter clips are no way to guage anything when there are no telling how many battles happening at once. I have raped many frytards but all I hear are people saying team shiver is bad. Could go either way.
Any of you fuckers that are purposely Disconnecting during battles….I don’t care what side you are on, I’m Reporting you all!
Reporting does nothing.
Go ahead. Keep wasting your time
>only have like 8 hours in Splatoon 2 or something
Should i even get this game now? Its not that i hated Splat 2, but if i get Splat 3 id feel scammed.
Wait for Side Order. If you still feel torn about buying after seeing footage of that then don't buy at all
If you actually want to play Splat, then yes.
The playerbase has almost completely migrated to 3, getting games on 2 is almost impossible.
It kinda just depends on how you're feeling. I had a similar thing with Splatoon 1. I only got to level 12 or something (a few hours of playing) and thought it was just okay. I bought Splatoon 2 on a whim because there was nothing else to play on the Switch, I was not paying $60 for Mario Kart 8 again. Now Splatoon is my favorite game and I have 800+ hours in 3.
If you think you'd like it, go for it, you might get really into it.
>play
>go vs team with all matching banners
>lose
>play one of them again next match
>win
Hmmm, I think that's enough for today.
Big Man wins open because they have the highest number of discord squads coordinating gear to maximize clout.
Shiver wins pro because all of the tryhard japs are on her team.
Frye wins tri color because I'm on team Frye and I played tri color a lot.
So yeah, Frye wins.
I have atleast 8 effective wins in Pro for big man
I have -48 effective wins in open (with players from the pool) because of shiverfag discord groomer 10x battles
It's really funny when the matchmaking fucks up and accidentally puts me in a lobby full of children so you end up seeing a big man supporter on defense standing there shooting at our sprinkler, trying to break it.
LMAO DO FRYEKEKS AND BIG CHUDS REALLY?
Ah so entire team disconnects still happen in 3
Post the replay.
>yfw the results are rigged to end in a 3-way tie
this outfit is giving me one hell of a hard time, but never let it be known i don't deliver (eventually)
you got this, shiverfags. don't make me regret joining your team just to have an excuse to make this
>videos all over the internet of Big Man teams spawn camping Shiver teams during Tri Color
My sides
Big Fags can do that if they want, I'm still not letting them take the signals though.
who is winning in tricolors currently
Nobody knows. I'm a Shiverfag and I win most of my games, especially on defense which is sick because I get the 1.5x bonus. Seems like other people are getting bullied by the other two teams though. We just have to wait and see tonight.
I am
frye probably because big man fags are retards
FINALLY GOT MY 10 X 10X BADGE
IM FREEEEEEEEE
>muh kill/death ratio
>muh skillz
bro paint the ground NOW
You kill them, with skillz, so they can't paint and you can paint.
I finally decided to tag in final day and all ready I see shitters trying to bring IRL shit into a fun wee event.
>it was 4chan fag posting about Robert Mueller
I already am doubting this fest purely cause of that but I'm getting fucked in tri-battles I hope shiver wins for the salt gods.
>need ONE fucking x10 win
>like clockwork lose 3 in a row when i normally win
>but yet i effortlessly stomp a x100 that doesnt even count toward the badge
i just want to stop playing
It should totally count toward the badge what were they thinking
I feel like we’re doing great defending in tricolor then my team will choke right near the end and the others get the signals
Baiting people with a shiny golden png to get them to keep playing was a smart move on Nintendo's part.
Played against a guy named (You) earlier today. Which one of you was it?
It was (you) duh
its [REDACTED] guy I think
(Me)
(You)
bump
To those trying to get x10 badges, ive found pro to be much easier to get battles
I think angle shooter is the most misunderstood sub in the game. Not everything needs to be lethal to be useful.
lol I just use it to climb walls
It's very good for harassing backliners from a safe distance. It has a longer range than even the scoped e-liter
I’ll do anything for you shiver
Would you let frye win if she said to?
She wouldn’t say to
>master mega after shiver loses
Im feeling demoralized now that I know my 4 100x wins wont count towards my 10x wins (also 4). I have 6 more 10x’s to go and it’s gonna be a pain trying to get them in the remaining fests. 6 hours left, gonna grind it out and see what happens
500
I suck so bad at this game and I can't place it.
I didn't have this problem in previous games.
I swear, other players kill me faster than I can even react, yet they don't die when I shoot them just as much. They always outspeed and outrange me, and somehow outflank me in ways that genuinely don't seem possible.
Granted, I'm a scrub and a fairly new player to 3 with garbage gear, but I still can't seem to get a grip on things no matter how hard I try. I'm always the guy who gets killed way more than kills.
quickest way to get good is look for a pro player on youtube and watch them play and provide commentary
You'll figure a lot out very quick
NTA but does this actually help? I've always heard to watch pro players and watch back your replays but I don't see how it would be helpful. It's not like it'll improve my aim or my decision making during a match.
