Topic: Splatoon - OT

I'll be on for team naughty in about 30 minutes so if you see Spoony don't leave the room!

3-2 right now. I'm switching weapons to something super offensive

Splatfest's use to be laid back and easy going but if you don't play them almost like ranked then you will lose more often then win. Especially since a lot of kids qpuldnt be on right now.

Well my team has had 3 total dominations in a row. I think I'm fine

@Maxz: You say boring, but if I get that oh so pivotal lead by charging forward with the RM and making a crazy play, I am laughing the entirety of my death timer and beyond. It's so worth it for me, I will play a slog-fest of a RM for the entire 5 minutes just to get a crazy victory play in.

I'd say always truck it forward if you can get a lead out of it, then play defensive. But unlike football where the football runner (what's that called?) charges into the middle of everyone (I don't know why they do that), I'd say throw off the enemy team and try to sneak around somewhere. And especially, grab the RM when no one expects it.

The other thing is I try to always keep the other team off the Rainmaker. If they have, it splat them even if it means you die, and if the shield has been popped, grab it just so the shield can reset. Because logically, if you have the lead and they never have the RM, they cannot possibly win. You never know what the enemy will pull out of their hat, but they cannot do anything so long as they don't have the Rainmaker.

I won a game today where I hid in the corner and the entire enemy team went to kill my team...well they left a RM open, shield popped, and I grabbed and ran towards the base. I didn't win right then and there, but my team quickly super-jumped to me and we finished it off. Needless to say I was laughing way too much.

It's not the best strategy I'm sure, but it's my strategy. And I do stay flexible, like if my teammates are good at X, support them instead.

Wow that's a crazy bunch of paragraphs I just wrote...guess I'm excited work's finally done.

All the way to champion and only lost twice to the nice team. I did lose one naughty vs naughty though. That's the first same team vs same team I've done in the last like 7 Splatfest's. Overall we rocked and I felt sorry for the other team.....well maybe not.

17-14 for me tonight. I am a Naughty Champion as well. Battles went back and forth for me

I had a rough start but i got a great streak eventually. I made to Naughty Queen solely with the Splattershot JR. I think im ready for rank with my bubble buddy ^^ I did have 1 odd Naughty V Naughty match.. I guess Naughty is probably winning the pop vote 0.O its too early to tell anyways once the youngins wake up maybe Nice will retake it

Thanks for all your feedback. I'd like to say it's very enlightening, but I don't think I'm entitled to use that word until I put it into practice and get to grips with it. It's really thoughtful and interesting though, and I hope I'll be able to use it to improve. It seems particularly nuanced, and less predictable that SZ and TC. At least the Splat Zones don't move, and though the Tower does move, it's at a constant speed and in a linear path.

I only say boring, because repeatedly using any strategy that you don't really understand can be frustrating, and if you're constantly jumping in and being killed without knowing what's going on, then you spend half the match spawning, and the other half just hoping the way forward is clear.

I'm generally happier in a supporting role, so I'll look to base my strategies largely around this, whilst keeping all the other aspects and opportunities in mind.

Nice guys will finish last. Duh

I'm surprised that there was no announcement for a EU Splatfest when I played it today. Carrie and Marie usually announce it a week in advance in the EU.

It would be very unfair if they don't do a EU Splatfest soon since the US always have theirs a week earlier, and they'll have an extra one once they've finished it today.

Nintendo does a 10 hour server maintenance and now im ddisconnected after ever match. Only restarting the console fixes it. Good job idiots. Knowing Nintendo this won't be fixed for months

There was an NoE Splatfest a week ago, and the last NoA splatfest was 3 weeks ago. You should expect an announcement one week from now.

Sounds more like you're on WiFi and the connection to a router got out of sync, or something. Or do you seriously believe each and every Splatoon player has the same connection issue as you?

I could only play a few matches so far, but my score is 11-0 in favor of Team Naughty! Muhaha!

I really want to win this Splatfest... I need Sea Snails! XD ...I also want to win another Splatfest because so far I've only won 2... a little disappointing.

I honestly have no idea who's gonna win in terms of popularity. Last night all of my matches has been against Team Naughty, now it's a mixture of both Naughty and Nice.

@jariw: ive been playing Splatoon since the beginning and im sure its not my internet since all other devices are working at the same time that the wii u loses connection (after playing 1 match same place everytime on the results screen). Also, retsarting the wiinu gets it working again for one match. Lastly, going into system settings and testing the connection is successful.i know its easier to assume Nintendo is perfect but this obviously a Nintendo problem.Started after the last update to Splatoon. Fix this Nintendo because Icant play Splatoon on my xbox

im sure its not my internet since all other devices are working at the same time that the wii u loses connection

sorry but that doesn't prove a thing. If millions of other users are not experiencing the same issue, Occam's Razor says the problem most probably is on your side (or your ISP).

Have you tried a router reset? Are you using a WiFi connection for your Wii U? Then other devices on your local network could be using up the bandwidth or clogging the network.

Are there a lot of other Wifi networks in your neighbourhood? This can also affect performance of your Wifi connections as they all use the same radio frequencies.

Here my splafest battles. In one match my team actually won a 3v4.

Don't worry. We are all on the same team. I would be surprised if we didn't win with all these records

I hearf someTeam Nice folk also got matched against their own team.
