So what does the winning team get? Just bragging rights?

Loving the nightime maps and plaza though, wish they would bring those out more often.
Go Team Cat!

I'm getting a comm error like every round, after the final scores are displayed. Makes it impossible to stay with a team. ><

Ugh seriously? Why today? I'm so busy... At work now, then I have to go to my grams house for the 4th right after that, and then head to a friend's party after that....

This event is great. The nighttime in the plaza, maps, different music, team Dog and team Cat clashing and you want to win even more than usual.

Bah, I want to play but the university I am staying at right now has too strict a NAT for Wii U games :(

Welp, Splatfest has basically confirmed that most of the really laggy, disconnecty people I've seen playing Splatoon online are actually Americans, and not the people who are actually on different continents than me. It's not really unexpected, but still pretty depressing.

Winning team gets their Super Sea Snails doubled.
 
Sadly I'm out of town this weekend and will have to miss out. Go Team Cat!

Are all the matchmaking issues from the Japanese Splatfest all gone?

I've been playing a bunch, and only had to wait longer than normal once or twice. They definitely seem fixed.
 
Did Team Cat give up My last four matches were against Dogs. It wasn't a typo or anything as they had the same Dog shirt like I have on. I don't want to kill my Doggie bros. :(

Just hit dog champion. Disappointed in how many dogvsdog matches I had. I assume those won't count in the Splatfest, right?

yeah NOA said on their twitter only dog vs cat matches count

I only had four cat matchs vs like the 10 dog ones I had

I gave up for now, hoping the cat people will come on later.

Team cat had Jesus on their side but they could not win against me, the dawg champ supreme. Though I had help from Elvi$, the king of rock, who too was a dawg champ.

Got the dog queen title. Not enough cats so I had a few matches where their team has only one or two people against four of us.

This is my first major online gaming experience and I'm loving it. If only there was an mmorpg that felt like this game. - I'd lose my life to it

Me too...

Is there any way to see who is winning?
Being able to see who's winning would break the event. You'd just look at who's winning more games and join that side, and everyone else would too. Conquest (which was SSB4's version, so to speak) let you see winning team's percentages and that went as well as you'd expect. It'd play even less well in Splatoon seeing as there's actual stuff on the line for the winning/losing team.

Nobody can change sides though, so knowing the score wouldn't break it.

But yeah dogs are gonna win. I lost like ten games in a row with cats.

Welp, the European Splatfest seems to be going awkwardly. Like ten of the fifteen-ish games I played now were Rock vs Rock.

Other than that and some lag now and then, boy is this game fun to go back to for some quick matches.
