Topic: Splatoon - OT

I'd like to test out the new matchmaking features since I don't have any friends, so...
Who's up for Splatoon?

http://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/splatoon-koshien-2016-tourn...

Found this During the Nintendo Live livestream, Nintendo made a major announcement: an event called Splatoon Koshien 2016 will take place in Japan. Koshien is the name of the national tournament for High-School baseball in Japan, but Nintendo explained that the Splatoon Koshien 2016 will be open to players of all age, not necessarily high-schoolers.

Very little details are available at the moment, but more information about this national tournament will be revealed on August 19th.

So is everyone alive tonight for Splatfest? o.o
Dunno if I'll record a couple of games tonight or not, but...yeah.

I am! https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkV4xoi2Q did a horrible drawing still got 50 yeahs do odd...

lol, dunno if I'll be able to stick around, been having sleeping issues, so I need to take medicine soon tonight. :c

really your only goal in a splatfest should be to get to the highest rank not to marathon it all. Guranteed 18 snails

@ELI-ASH: Hey, I yeahed that horrible post.

Well yeah, but you can't reach the highest rank in like 30 minutes, though. lol

I saw that.

On the first splatfest it took me about 6 hours but it was so long because i was losing more than winning. I hate that you almost always get paired with super low level people. Just made it to fiend with all loses >_<

Yeah that happens to me all the time... :/
Anyways I'm having allergies and trouble sleeping, so...yeah. Gotta take medicine which will make me sleepy.

After looking at some people's posts on the NA Splatoon community, it looks like you can still do private battles during splatfests. Are you still limited to the Splatfest t-shirt when playing with friends?

Interesting first hour of splatfest so far. Won on Moray Towers 73-12. teams were 29. 23. 19. 9 vs 22. 12. 7. 4. Kind of saw that one coming. Then won on Camp Triggerfish 43-40. teams were 23. 21. 11. 10 vs 25. 23. 22. 17. Called it a night after that one, not going to get any better than that. And I made it too defender the match before, but it was too ugly a loss to stop with.

Due to the stage selection I was playing with the splattershot w/ bomb and bomb rush. Weird choice for me but it seemed to work. Enough range to get the buckets yet still fast enough for the gaitling gun, and turf war means bombs, boms and more bombs. Turf war really is fast but so much less hectic than ranked.

So it seems like there are there are a lot of marshies over here in NA, considering I'm in lobby for a while and often vs marshmallows as well. And all this talk of hotdogs made me believe I was in the minority here! Well regardless, well see the numbers after its over.

Splatfest hasn't started here yet. I think it's kinda interesting how tower control can be very, very different depending on who is playing. One match I had a team of people who seemed to be only interested in defending. I was going in hard trying to ride the tower and everyone else just sat back waiting for the other team to get control. Another match my opponents seemed oblivious to the fact that I was riding the tower to their base and instead wanted to just hold the centre section.

I've had really zero problems all night. The only 3 disconnects were in the post results. I would say my team went about 75 to 80% wins. I finished at champion and that's all I'll be able to do.

I say Splatfast is a good time not only to rank up gear but try out practically every weapon.

The Disruptor sub is actually better than I thought it was.

I keep reading it as "I'd rather roast a hot dog" and "I'd rather be a marshmallow" for some reason lol.

I have to say, this seems like a one-sided Splatfest (and the first one I've gotten to partake in). Had plenty of marshmallow vs marshmallow matches. I got to Marshmallow Champion in about 2.5 hours. By the way, I got the Squid Girl hat and dress! Now I just need the shoes. Also, a pair of fake contacts is one of the new head gear.

Getting to King/Queen is literally more than double all the points you've gotten prior. I'm more than half may through these 99 points so I'm going for it. 3 hours and running.

Anyone else notice there were many communication errors between matches but far fewer 4v3's than previous Splatfests? I didn't notice any lag and never got disconnected during a match, so it seemed like my Internet was fine but they were taking steps to try to reduce the lopsided matchups from people that were having Internet problems.
