It's enjoyable once you realize everyone else is playing TDM so you're free to go ham with an Aerospray MG or similar.
Opening Gambit makes a huge difference on Mall, especially if you carve a highway dead-center to mid at match start.

The new system works pretty nicely. I know other S rankers are having a bad time but honestly this Splatfest has been fairly relaxing My only real complaint is I got a ton of Sand Castle mirror matches.

>>135698937
Everyone S/S+ play like it's TDM and don't focus enough on turf control, easily get boxed into spawn since they can't cover ground fast enough.
N-Zap '89 is actually a really good choice considering it's got ridiculous coverage and is still viable for combat

In the beginning, the popular side was an automatic win in MOST cases.

In the "meat", the least popular side was an automatic win in MOST cases

And now, near the "end", skill may matter. Is this a good thing?

Only time will tell because I did not pay attention to the JP Splatfest.

But, fuck me these matches are super close in the B rank bracket and this shit is actually fucking fun. cant wait to see what its like during primetime

Now that "save scummers" is ruining splatfest much like "most popular voted team" wins splatfest without a doubt and "least popular team" or something I forgot what I was going to do with this.

How will Nintendo stop the "save scummers" shit in future splatfests?
>>
>>135699693
They won't, Splatfest as a concept is broken.
>>
Matchmaking takes so fucking long now that it ruins all the fun.
Now I'm waiting so goddamn long for a match it BETTER be good, whereas before I could have a mixed bag of blowouts and good games and not even be mad because there was always another easy game to find.

And FUCK I've never had so many lost connections and I have the fucking ethernet adapter so I know it's not me. I swear the jumping japs have fucking migrated here with the amount of bullshit lag I have to play against
>>
>>135699734

it's not broken per se it's just like everything else in this game. Nintendo never considered how people would work/game the system to give themselves an advantage. I'd say Spla2n would be more balanced as they've seen how players actually play but somehow I doubt it
>>
>>135699693
I still don't get why Nintendo just don't save the data on a network instead of a USB. For example they can prevent scum by making it so that if the USB and the network data don't match the network data overwrite the USB data. I know other games that do this, so I don't get it.
>>
>>135699892
But the very idea of dividing an entire playerbase between common preferences and expecting a balanced result, especially when popularity plays a huge part, is impossible to balance.
>>
>splatfest is now 24 hour rank fest
>is S+

I....I never asked for this. I want my splatfests to be casual fun not intense death matches.
>>
>>135699990

it'd be a lot fairer if people went with their gut or actual preference. All I ever hear is which side should I join to maximise my wins. Sure it's not everyone but it's enough people that the results get skewed
>>
>>135699990
How is c playing c, b playing b, a playing a, and S/S+ playing together is more unbalance then before? If you are S rank you might be playing against S+ but it shouldn't make a difference much.

Also as a note to >>135700383, toss the sprinkler on the "back end" of the moving platforms. since they all go counter clockwise put them on the "back" or "west" end of them, sorry drunk as fuck anc cant think of the word right now but if you put them on the "east" end the sprinkler drops hit the side of the moving platform leaving like half of the sprinklers sprinkles useless.

As a casual player who juggles B+ and A- all the fucking time, I started splatfest in B+ and on a 70% win chance here. I am not fighting squibs, I am not fighting elites.. I am fighting other casual gamers and having a great time.

If you save scum, you will be in for a bad time according to this and last threads reactions.

If you derank too much you might be the only good player in the team carrying folks and might have a good time I guess maybe?

I dunno, I know I am having a good fucking time with "close" but not knockout matches in the 1200 power range.

Dont cheat.

Snowman is more popular overall, which is why all the good players went Sandcastle, thus giving S Ranks a ton of sand mirrors. That's what I think, anyway.

Please keep in mind things are broken down into brackets.

S rank sandcastle seems to have mirror matches

C rank is unknown to me.

I never really got into the deep science/biology of it, I know the hood of my penis protects the head of my penis from rubbing around in my pants leaving it sensitive as fuck and the skin under the head of the penis is so fucking sensitive I had a girl in college use a little bit of spit and her thumb to make me cum as I looked down at her in shock of what just happened.

If what you say is true, then my corrected response will be:

The act of sex is suppost to feel amazing, not just the orgasm.

>>135708658
>>135709729

The point is that Splatoon has none of those killstreak perks, where you get a buff for killing someone, and it snowballs until you're an unstoppable killing machine.

This is something I've noticed about the game's mechanics, but it seems that the devs want Splatoon's higher levels of play to be skill-based. The players in S+ are there because they're good at the game, not because they abuse some broken weapon/loadout.

Most of the abilities that give you buffs will bestow them when you're at a disadvantage. None are too powerful either (except maybe Tenacity), so there's no easily abuseable thing that detracts from skill.

tl;dr the game is pretty balanced.

I don't think it's fake, prototypes are usually unpolished which is why its looking a little awkward here. But E3 isn't too far away, they gotta get something together for that. The patent's images fit perfectly with it, and because of a deal that was made somewhat recently, Sharp is going to be providing Nintendo with free-form LCD displays.
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/12/16/business/corporate-business/sharp-supply-free-form-lcds-nintendo/
It all fits pretty well together.

I actually really like the idea they're working with here. Why limit yourself to a small display when you have the whople controller to work with? Pretty sure the patent images revealed they're going to be pushing motion controls a little more with that controller (I might be remembering things wrong), but after playing Splatoon so much I would welcome this. Sticks+gyro is truly the way to go. And I can't wait to poke or pet my woomy.

I dunno maybe my eyes are fucked or the monitor isn't set correctly. The has a dark color when transforming but the ink appears a yellow for me and so does the hat. The hat normally has an orange color when orange ink no?

But I do have digital vibrance set to max. Ah well doesn't matter too much I guess.
