Awesome, will play with you guys today, hopefully!
Based on my experiences after playing the (few) Planes vs Cars matches, the latter definitely deserved the win. Never have I had so many bad/uncooperative allies on one team... Ended up just stopping at Champion status instead of King like in prior events. And why does Splatfest still take into account popularity again?
With Splatfests being more dull and unexciting the more I play them, plus with the much reduced turnout (based on my Inkopolis plaza/hub) and the surprisingly bad matchmaking (the majority of my battles were Plane vs Plane in-fighting) this time, I doubt I'll be coming back for any more of these events. Splatfests needs some overhaul if I ever hope to return to them. Does anyone else want a Splatoon 3.0 update sometime in the future?

NSTC will be playing Omohide (We Have Come To Make Memories) in the Winners Semi-Finals of INKSTORM I in 40 minutes.

All the JP fests were won by teams with more popularity, people can easily vote the major team after fest started to win 24 SSSs. Squid vs. Octopus is the closest result they've ever got. It's nice to see NA getting some wins for the minor teams.
During JP splatfest there's a running text bar in JP splatfest page that shows which team won a match and who's the MVP of that match. I'm sure it can't cover all the matches but it's a reference.

Holy cow, Team Cars winning gave me my first Splatfest victory~! When I saw the popularity split, I immediately thought that Cars lost the Splatfest. Guess an eight percent difference in win-rate was enough to seal the deal!
It's probably been mentioned a bunch, but I wonder if a Splatfest will be held on Halloween, where the theme is "Trick or Treat".

Anyone down to squad up? Playing with randoms is killing my A- and I'd like to stand a chance of getting out of this A hell haha
There's Octolings in their Octopi forms floating around on SplatNet. We may be due for our Octoling update this week.

Oh really? Thanks, I'll check those out
Yeah those are the boots I always wear because I like at least one quick respawn main. I just wanted the run speed up subs because I was tired of always being so slow on grates on stages like hammerhead
Yeah I'll probably keep these and go for the run speed on the others, and just wear those on stages where I need to run a lot

Tell me about it: while I don't exactly hate the Wii U GamePad, I myself would prefer Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk pointer controls, with the GamePad still used as the map. It'd be great if Nintendo would add more controller options (even including the Pro Controller tied to a Wii Remote Plus) for all modes in a 3.0 patch/update. Maybe we should try emailing Nintendo about it? (It doesn't hurt to try, I hope.)
They should have an octoling pop duo take over Callie and Marie's news time and song performances
This would mean more new music too whoooo

Also some insane play from the tournament.

Saw some original designs of squid sisters in the artbook. I'll get my order later this month, can't wait.

There must be a way to eliminate the GamePad altogether. I only use 1 upper shoulder button (R) for subweapons, so with Pro+Wiimote combo I'd suggest map activation with the L button in a translucent PiP form, and then Y, X, A for super jumping to a squad member or B for the spawn point.
nice!
They put that up because of Japan's splatfest. In the Japanese version of the site they even changed the logo
Yeah that first clip in his recent twitter history is actually from his team's last game against NSTC in the tournament:

The sniper is Nekura, SM found his Twitter account.
Few examples:

Nekura is godly but Yugo and that wall usage is beyond unfair. It's unbelievable that he only uses sticks.
Is that even fair?! That's some straight up god-mode sniping!

This is getting ridiculous, just release Inklings in Smash already:

Who are these people?
Sean is an artist who also works for Smashified. He was privy of the whole Smash character leak rumor that some people with industry connections have been keeping hush about this last week, and he might have let it slip.
Ahh, thanks for the info.
I hope the art book gets a swift localization. I actually have/had the money for the pre-order but didn't commit thinking about the former.
I don't find it too unbelievable. Playing SM239 as long as I have has made me respect that sticks have a good upper ceiling on them. That said, Yugo almost made me want to drop 96 Deco for vanilla 52.

I did pretty darn good this Splatfest. Maybe its the intense training against the Japanese players, but I was pulling things for my team a lot. Consistently the highest painted, kill counts in the 15-ish range. Feels pretty good, ha ha. Counteracts all the times the Japanese kick my butt.
I was on team Cars and I was able to find games very quick. It made the whole experience so much more pleasant when I wasnt sitting twiddling my thumbs between matches. I was pretty pleased that even though team Planes outnumbered us by a huge margin, our wins meant something.
Im picking up on more things as I play more. Throughout the whole Splatfest I started paying attention to the weapons of the other team before the match, and then playing accordingly. Im an exclusive Tentek SS user, so when I saw the other team was full of Aerosprays I knew I would have a range/accuracy advantage and took advantage of it. When I saw Dual Squelcher or SS Pro users I knew to blitz in during encounters. Two or so Rollers and I knew to keep my proceed slowly and keep my distance.

If you're trying for the knockout, I guess. If you're just trying to cheese the counter to get your team's number as low as possible quickly, rushing into the middle up to the base of the final ramp will bring it down to like 19
