Splatoon 2 |OT2| From Smallfry to FlyFish in 5 Easy Steps!

Why does the Dynamic Roller exist. You couldn't make a worse weapon if you tried.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind it so much if it at least rolled at a decent speed. The slow swings I can deal with :p
...oh and if it had burst bombs. That'd help a heck of a lot. And any special except stingray. Any at all.

edit: for anyone interested, Tozotube has been examining respawn punisher in depth
Respawn Punisher apparently punishes the wearer worse than the victims (+1.13s vs +0.78s) It also doesn't stack with itself (so if the victim and killer both have it, it just works as normal, no massively increased respawn times :p )

Seriously, what is up with my teams blowing it at the last 30 seconds in that fitness level? Every time I go there, my team will be kicking butt, then then suddenly everyone except me wipes in the last minute, giving the other team the win.

Edit: Well for today. Got to Fight Queen and ended on 1865. Sigh, so close to 2000. But despite my complaints, this Splatfest went better for me than then the last one. I never had a 'bad' team. Just teams that kept overextending itself. Out of 34 battles I won 20 and only got a four game losing streak and one of those had the person DC on outside. So, can't complain too much.

24 - 15 for team flight, played 39 games for Flight King. Ended at 1765.6.

I pledged my allegiance to the Gremlin and was faithfully rewarded. I had maybe five games where I was enraged at my teammates not doing anything, but for the rest of it I kinda had fun.
 
After doing so well in Team Invisibility up until Champion, suddenly now I've been losing every game! What's going on?! Why do I suck?!

Either way I'm getting the feeling that Team Flight will win this one. That's okay. I was faithful to Marina this time. But you Team Flight Inklings are worthy opponents

Went 22-12 and made it over 2000 power this time so I think this splatfest worked out better than the last one for me. Hope my Invisbros can pull it off!

30-20 Flight Queen.

This Splatfest wasn't as fun as the last one for me. It feels like the community's skill level dropped off of a cliff.

Both teams are getting desperate and busting out the buckets. So many buckets.

It's why I use Splattershot Pro. Its reach it long enough to kill buckets. My only real nemesis is the goddamn sniper rifle.
 
The moral of the story is, don't bet against the gremlin. I'm hopeful that Marina will win one day. The testfire doesn't count.

Remember before the game came out and people were posting hot takes and waxing poetic about what a misfire Pearl's design was and how every Splatfest is going to be so one-sided solely because of that.

Pearl and Marina are both amazing design and personality-wise and we need less Squid Sister negativity.
 
The more I play, the more I'm convinced that the vast majority of players have absolutely no idea how a splatling works. I've lost count of the number of teams that've run face-first into my hail of fire thinking they could reach me with their duelies or whatever before I shred them to pieces :eek: I actually wiped out a whole invisibility team that way: killing 3 players that charged down a lane towards me clustered together and the 4th straggling along after them a few seconds later.

...it makes me kind of look forward to the Hydra and its even more absurd range :p
 
28-12 for Team Coward! Take that Team Creep!

I really liked the new Shifty Station, gonna be sad to see it go.

Edit: Also, it turns out that Nintendo did official art for this Splatfest. So either Japan is getting this one somewhere down the line, or we're getting art for North American Splatfests too.

In the first Splatfest I went with her side but was kinda spiteful about it. Now with all the fanart she's grown on me!

got to Invisible Queen and called it quits.

Is a place I can check my Win/Loss ratio? I feel like I lost 3 out of 4 matches during the Splatfest.

Homework is complete. Went 22-10, pretty good. I feel like the Mayo teams were better than the Invisibility teams I played, but who really knows how it'll shake out? It's so random.

Got to finish my pure Swim Speed hat for my Camo Mesh. Those last 10 chunks took foreeeevvvveeerrrrr. Murch pls.

Well that's it for me, feel like a masochist for going at it but I really wanted to max.

Congrats team flight, you played great and deserve the win.

I would be surprised if our team invisibility is less than 20 points behind on either solo or team matches.
 
21-9 for Team Flight. You can't blame me if we lose this.

This version of Shifty Station was actually better than the first one. Less of a labyrinth to get around aside from the platforms suddenly rising.
 
Unfortunately couldn't get to 2200, lost a bunch of easy games that made me lose 60-70. Ended up around 2050ish, won the last game so I don't know the number. Wish I could have got 2200 but oh well, gives me something to shoot for next splatfest.

I'd like to congratulate my team flight comrades, pretty sure we won easily :p
 
Phew, what a day. Team Invisibility seemed to catch up towards the end but I think Flight held out pretty well. Great run! This Shifty Station was waaaaaayy better than last time's.
