Topic: Splatoon - OT

@Spoony_Tech: Dew it for waterslides!

Haven't played against my own team on Water Slides, but I don't know if Roller Coasters are. I played two 3v4 matches and one 4v1 and one 4v3. Actually won one of the 3v4 matches on Bluefin Depot With "Blue Link" and "aj": good job, guys!

I've also read on other forums that there seems to be much more connection errors on Splatfest than on usual Turf War. I wonder if it is because it's more of a mix with inexperienced players (that haven't resolved their internet issues) that normal matchmaking is? I played just a little bit the past European Splatfest, but I also experienced an unusual amount of disconnects by other players. OTOH, I have many matches with level-20 players (even with lots of players from Japan) with flawless connections.

Looks like we've found out why the first one was purposely organized for 4th July then. The servers just can't take the hype of Splatoon.

I'm loving the Octobrush a lot more than the other Paintbrush. I can actually kill people with this weapon. I've still got several hours of waiting eagerly until the Europe Splatfest

Well I did something unusual for my game session last night (early this morning) I went the whole time with the new n-zap. Why is the unusual, because I used the Areospray the last time for the whole Splatfest and I'm my regular game time I have probably used the .52 deco like 95% of all my play time. I've used that weapon so much that I can't remember what I used before I got it leveling up to like 11 or 12 to get it. I really like the new N-zap but it does seem to Run out of ink faster then my .52. Plus I've been forgetting to re-roll my stats on my Splatfest shirt and my shoes as both have crappy stats. In going to play a bit more here but re-roll first this time. Maybe I can help that feeling of running out of ink so fast.

Oh and one more thing, I really like the stage choices for this Splatfest @rjejr has nothing to complain about for that this time.

If he does then just deal with it!!

Well my session this morning isn't going so well. Getting crappy teams and doing a lot of the work yourself sucks. Definitely not like last night we're I was rolling with some of the same players for quite a while. Also had 2 same team vs same team so maybe water slides are slightly more popular?

Japan's next splatfest has been announced! It will start on July 24th at 11pm Pacific Time (3pm on the 25th Japan Time) and the choices are from the brand "KIRIN" between milk tea and lemon tea.

@Spoony_Tech: - I stayed up to midnight just to see what the stages were. And yes, nice selection of old, new, and newer so no complaints from me on the stage selection.

One question I do have, which struck me as interesting last night - Splatfest plays in turf war - which emphasizes the core mechanic of Spaltoon ink everything over the typical shooter kill or be killed - but at the end of each match they don't show you how much you ink like they do in normal turf war, but your kdr like in ranked. Seems odd. kdr isn't really all that important in turf war, somebody could be 0-0 but ink a lot if they stay out of the way, and somebody can be 10-0 if they camp and snipe and hardly ink anything. I realize it's a team sport and it's best to have a varied team make-up, but it just seems odd not to show our score in turf war but kdr instead.

I probably won't play any more today, got up to 2 points on whatever comes after defender - need 48 more to level up, and my kids didn't play much last time b/c it was the 4th and we were out, so I'm going to let them play.

Go team coaster.

@rjejr: If you look above your head you will see your score only but you're still rank on your team according to how much you inked.

I think they don't show the scores because they don't want us to know if we've got cheaters doing squat on our sides.

Made Roller Coaster King. Did so much better this splatfest. Had +26.5 at the end, winning most of my games. Seems like teams may have been more even in numbers as there were no RC vs RC games. Surprised I enjoyed this one so much more considering the experience with the last one.

Severe lack of Sleep players this Splatfest.

@Inkling: Only 1 or 2 Team Eat vs. Team Eat matches out of 15 so far, so for me it's going better than last time.

I think the last splatfest has killed the fun of splatoon for me.

@whodatninja: no it's not foolish xd I also want to have all the items in games ^^ I have all the items until now (after octobrush and zapper update) I also have 6 pages of clothes, 4 pages of headgear and 4 pages of shoes. I think I almost have all the customisation items, not sure though because you can't really tell. But every day the shop resets there's nothing I can buy anymore. The only things I don't have are the amiibo weapons and clothes :c

@Inkling: yup I'm on team eat, and had to fight against my own team :c

So, after playing the game for so long and having great experience with it. If you could nerf or buff something in the game, what would it be and why?

@Aromaiden Honestly, I'd buff the default shot defense. I know that mobility is the main draw of Splatoon's combat, but I feel like most fights are over way too fast, leaving very little margin for error at all. That makes some rapid-fire weapons feel less forgiving than others, despite not really being bettee weapons.

@Rezal_Knight: For me it's the opposite. Ever since the introduction of Tower Control I don't play ranked any more (I don't like it, and the rotation always seems to land on TC when I want to play). Splatfests give me a reason to play Turf Wars.

@Aromaiden: I'd like to ban the E-Litre 3K (or whatever it was called) and the Dynamo Rollers. Snipers are usually easy prey for me, but E-Litre users can pick me off way too easily. And the Dynamo Rollers, I'm not entirely sure but I think they OUTRANGE my Splattershot Pro. That ain't right... I almost want to say Aerospray as well, they make close encounters a joke. But their range is ridiculous so I can usually beat them purely by staying out of their range.
