As a member of the losing team in both of the previous Splatfests, I can virtually guarantee it :/ I probably lost about 80% of my games in Team Waterslides, and a good half of those weren't just losses, but total destruction. The skill difference was massive, and the few "good" teams I found never stuck together for long.
I'm thinking if I start playing when Splatfest launches tonight (I don't like staying up that late though), the chance of teaming up with small children will be much lower.
Marie is just mean now
Assuming this is true, you have an equal advantage to splat them for up to 2 seconds after they shoot.
This gives more fuel to my suspicion that Europe has a very poor connection to Japan for whatever reason. I am in Toronto and my ping to Japan is almost half of yours. This is despite the fact that the distance from me to Tokyo is 500 miles greater than from London to Tokyo.
Similarly, my ping to both locations in Europe is ~60% the ping you get to US-East.
If your stats are representative of Europe, no wonder so many europeans post complaints here.
...
As for Splatfest, if you want to win matches, you need to choose team hotdog. I am predicting the most lopsided win percentage for hotdog that we have seen in any splatfest to date.

Marie has had it.
In Spla2n she'll pull a Beyoncé and be a solo singer leaving Callie to be the 2nd rate Kelly Rowland.
.. Or vice versa.

Splatfests would be much nicer is they implemented the squad matchmaking into it as a second option.

it's bad isn't it? I hope getting a fiber optic connection will make everything smoother.

I rarely, practically never, get disconnected. Japanese players get dropped off sometimes.

Of course. What else would I be using? I don't want to be a detriment to Team Marshmallow.

This is my dudebro getup lol
Naturally, people from Europe have a slow connection to Japan because it goes through a number of hops. We don't have a direct connection like you have.
(click the image to see the interactive map)
Now, I'm in Eastern Europe and have a fiber connection into the building, that still doesn't mean anything simply because the distance is so big and there is no direct connection. I could have a gigabit connection and still wouldn't make a difference.
This is my dudebro getup lol
Freshest setup there is.

This talk of lag is reminding of the really weird time I had where I managed to survive being in the epicenter of an inkstrike. It is almost like the inkstrike too so long to land I had cleaned it up and stayed in my clean ink. It is only a vague memory though.
That is the thing, once you reach max some players think "my work is done here" or less confident players are like "I might cause more losses". This can result in a skill drain happening over time.
I'm looking for friends to play Splatoon with, mainly online during EU hours. I usually play ranked (splat zones). Currently hovering around A+ to S rank but I'd play with anyone. NNID: StarStrive
Happy to accept all requests.
I sent a request! Also if you haven't already you should join us on www.discordapp.com, the invite link is in the second post.

The gear in this is just insane I can spend too much time playing dress up lol
Lol yea I haven't seen in my store yet
wow, thanks for the detailed informations 69wpm, so we're bound to keep these gaming conditions, aaaah...bummer.
I mean, it's not that bad, but I really wished the problem was only on my end with my internet speed.
They count! Judd is such a liar, they greatly help to splat these kidsquids left and right.

they hit you 2 seconds earlier
at one point on Azure's stream a day or so ago we double-killed each other. On his screen it looked like I fired after he splatted me. On my screen I was aiming a fully charged shot on the wall he was standing behind, knowing fully well he was there because he was marked by an Echolocator, and I released the shot immediately after he moved around the corner and got splatted myself a second later. That's what it's like playing with a bad connection

So checking my e-mails NOE seem to think my problems are due to the server. Which makes no sense as I thought the server did nothing once the match is started (where my problems begin) and it is all peer to peer form there.
Way too look at it is is a faster internet speed just gets you to the next hurdle a little bit faster and while it has an upper limit on latency it can improve the game in other ways.
just for giggles, here's my ping (Central Europe)

Same. Don't let yourself get psyched out by hot dog trash talkers. Got my Aerospray ready...
Not me.
Here's how I picture you.
Lucky Luke is awesome, I'll take it
Hey I don't think yours is all that bad. For what it's worth out of all the gaffers I've experienced lag with I think Kas has the worst. Is he in Europe too or does he just have a really bad connection?

I usually use the Krak-On roller or one of the aerosprays that have limited range. I'm moving behind that wall so that can't get me and I can accomplish whatever I'm currently trying to do. Too many people focus exclusively on the killing part of the game.

Oh, don't worry. In my head I bitch about most of EuropeGAF equally.
I hope they put underpass in the rotation so my opening strat can be utilized. We gotta do some squad stuff today with bucket and splatling, see if we can figure out a good synergetic strategy.
Cause your Kraken is out of control.
But seriously, I don't really have a problem with it. It's not ideal, but it doesn't really hinder my enjoyment of the game at all.
