Sex with shitty Splatfest!
I don't care how many times you lose, you're still the best bitch in my books.
>>135788474
good thing callie has won far more times
>>135788552
There's only six between them now.
We need to make threads even earlier.
>>135788275
Because he used to make a bunch of stupid forced memes about himself and he doesn't like anyone saying anything bad about him
Feels like we might lose this one Sand Castle bros.
Also feels fair though, like I didn't just blatantly pick the wrong team. Had plenty of close matches lost by 1-2%
>>135788317
Calm your anus
>>135788632
>only 6
>only
>>135788774
do you actually know that or are you just making assumptions on an anonymous image board
Wait, does your non-splatfest rank affect who you get paired up with? Along with your power level? Or am I just misunderstanding things? Since I'm seeing people who are saying they're S Snowman kings or whatever. I thought it was just your power level that affected who you got paired up with.
This is the final sprint.
>>135789115
your rank from ranked battle determines your initial splatfest power

She just lost six in a row

>snowman vs sandcastle looks to be in callie's favor

???
>>135789648
>looks to be in callie's favor
Does it really? It seems pretty even to me.
Don't suppose there are any convenient translators in the building at this very moment?
>>135789648
I reached Hoverboard Empress with only two losses under my belt. Don't know if that amounts to much, so we're really going to have to wait and see.
>>135789958
Nah m8 snowmen are fucking done
Can I get a link to the discord? Thank you.
>>135790048
Fuck off Dom
>>135790183
I don't know who that is.
I just would like an invite, thank you.

Ohh I get it now, thank you.
>>135789145what is this
Finally I can stop. I'm not playing with shitty ass teammates anymore. Fuck.
>>135791118
C ranker?
Please post the discord, I really need to join.
>>135791368
Yeah I don't play ranked.
So with this new system, will popularity no longer be a gauge for who wins splatfest?
I joined Snowman thinking it would be less popular, but now I'm not sure we'll win.
>>135791416
why does someone need to beg for the Discord every fucking thread?
>>135791110
High scores for the japanese Splatfest
>>135791546
Because the faggot that usually makes threads 100 posts early to put the link in was too busy circlejerking and missed his chance so now he needs to shitpost about it
>Come back from work and start playing the Splatfest around 7
>Only just now hit Queen and a mere 1500 Power
Congrats, Snowmen. I guess I kind of fucked myself over by starting so late because of the new system, however it works.
>>135791530
Why would you think Snowman would be less popular? Kids love Frozen and memes snowbae.
>>135791645
will this come to all regions
>>135791416
Who?
>>135790628
doubt it
>>135791735
What do kids love more? Winter or Summer?
Think like a kid and not a squid you dumb nigger.
>>135791741
Yeah, the top hundred players are published after the Splatfest has ended
>>135791741
probably
>>135791872
You can't ignore my girth.
>>135791896
Kids fucking love winter just as much as summer.
But that's not the question. The question is, "Do you want to build a snowman? Come on, let's go and play. I never see you anymore. Come out the door. It's like you've gone awaaaaaayyyyy~"
>>135792204
frozen was great tho
>>135792204
Are you being fucking serious?
>>135792460
That's not the point. The point is that kids love Frozen. And there's no meme equivalent for sand castles. Sand castles are meme free, baby.
>>135792204
You double nigger, kids will inherently prefer summer because guess what? No school in the summer.
THINK MCFLY, THINK!
>>135792575
There's winter break too, anon.
>>135792679
>two weeks vs three months
>>135792518
What the fuck do you think I'm joking about? Prove me wrong.
>>135792575
Guess when Christmas happens.
GUESS WHEN A GIANT PILE OF PRESENTS HAPPENS.
NOT IN FUCKING SUMMER, BITCH.
>>135792556
Explain all the Spongebob shit then
>>135792783
Spongebob shit has been going on since Splatoon launch, the whole game is aquatic themed.
So what do you think the highest Splatfest Power level is going to be? Will we at least reach Japan's high scores?
>>135792770
No you're right, Snowmen are much more popular than Sandcastles. Because nobody likes Sandcastles, they're shit and only retards would side with them.
>>135793041
The matchmaker seems to break at around 1700 SP for NA/EU, runs out of players to match you with.
>>135793041
If even one burger has amassed more than 1900 points I'll be floored
>>135793041
Japs are the utmost tryhards of Splatoon, so I doubt we'd see anyone from the US matching them.
>>135793041
Highs will be ~1900
Most of the list in the 1800s
A handful sub-1800 will still make it
>>135793170
And that's why you should have chosen Sandcastles.
post discord pls seriously im not trying to post about it a lot but no one is posting it
>>135793340
Fortunately I chose Hoverboards.
>>135793307
>>135793304
>>135793303
>>135793041
Goddamn the Japs are on another level, I have to think they found a way to coordinate and get full parties of their own people in a match.

We're building that wall for a reason, and that's to keep filthy Islamists like you out. Enjoy your jihad.
>>135793742
The discussion was about which side would be hypothetically more popular, you don't need to actually attend the Splatfest to figure that out.
Shoutout to Sergamer24, Hambone, and Daddy B for being the only real dream team i had this Splatfest
Let's hope out efforts for team Snowman aren't wasted!

Keep that attitude when you're gunned down by a negro that readily bought a weapon at a Walmart.
No wait, you'll be fine because you have a gun in your pocket. Remember, guns equal unconditional safety.

That is some hilarious shit, they hold eachother back from confrontation too. Id make fun of how fat most of them are, but suburban American cops are just as fat
Can someone please explain what is this splatfest power thing?
I haven't played since naughty/nice
>>135796262
At least nothing can be said for police brutality
>>135796038
I was going to point out that Brit murder rates are just as high using weapons such as knives, but then I wonder how that's even possible considering the restrictions on the sale of basic kitchenware.
But hey, I guess criminalizing something automatically stops criminals from doing it. That makes perfect sense!
>>135796026
Please don't come back now
Hey can you faggots at least tell me why I'm banned?
>>135796369
>I guess criminalizing something automatically stops criminals from doing it
No but telling people "Youll go to jail if you do this thing" will certainly deter people from doing it
>>135796351
You ever played dota2? It's like the matchmaking system there. You get given a starting MMR then gain/lose MMR with each win. Being in different MMR brackets hard locks who you're matched with, so for example if your 16xx, then you wont get matched with 17xx players, only other 16xx players. Even if you're 1699, you'll still only be matched with other 16xx players.
>>135796596
You're so naive it's cute.

>>135796652
Denial is a hell of a drug, and you're hooked
But you've also had Ignorance in your system for years
>>135796789
If someone wants to kill you, outright banning one weapon doesn't stop them from getting it. Especially when the ban extends to the fucking police force, arguably the people who SHOULD have guns PRECISELY because criminals who commit crimes won't give a single fuck about legal restrictions around their weaponry.
>>135796592
You were banned for being this emotional, seven-day menstrual move weak pencil move

>>135796976
All these British falsehoods are music to my ears.
You can eat out the Queen while I enjoy my freedom on the wings of a gun toting eagle.
>>135797030

Keep in mind tazers are often regarded as more inhumane than gunfire.

True, but it doesn't make the video any less hilarious imo
Most people don't have to worry about police brutality, desu. It's just stupid how no one important is willing to address that issue in america.

Well, glad I don't have to deal with that for another few weeks. Anyway, what do you think of this set? It's supposed to be a tank set that takes advantage of the sniffer buff(unfortunately, I've no idea how much protection they gave it).
Im not here to play tonight, Im only here for the cute pictures

-20% of Burst Bombs, -40% of non-lethal Bombs/mines
Run Speed is mandatory on Mini/Heavy Splatling, the difference it makes is too huge to pass up.

Gracias to my nigs King Nyx and Whittler something with two stars in his name. Y'all were the best, but I wish I could have played earlier.
>>135798584
Only reason I'm ever here.
I don't get it, for some reason, during this Splatfest, I'm getting 3rd or 4th place constantly at end of match. Ended with a 1110 power level. Usually, I'm best on team and today been playing as best I can yet keep being worst on team and losing. Is this the fault of the new system of changes?
>>135798586
Love it
>>135788814
>Had plenty of close matches lost by 1-2%
Worst part is that 80% of those matches are usually thanks to the LAST MINUTE INKSTRIKES.
Seriously I don't think the missile should be able to do a touchdown when the whistles blow.
>>135798917
Splatfest placement is based on turf inked
Am I really getting a comm error every time I deploy a seeker rush?
>>135798586
They should have made the bubbler protect the player from drowning, but not allow them to get back to the surface until it ran out and then drown. Just watching them panic in the water would be very enjoyable to watch.
>>135799104
No?
>>135799030
So? Like I said, I usually place best on team, this time, somehow team mates doing better eventhough overall lost most matches.
>>135799104
That's cruel.But not cruel enough for bubblerfags.
>>135799043
It's highly possible, Seeker Rush eats up a lot of bandwidth and can crash users.
>>135798721
Well, I initially created it with the Hydra in mind, but since you put it that way, maybe I should keep it the way it is for minor versatility.
>>135799230
Nah, Zinks and Tri-Sloshers can rot in hell, Squiffer did nothing wrong.
>>135798586
did that on moray once, wish i could've seen the panic on their face when they realized it
>>135799019
What's even more infuriating, although less common, is losing a TW match by <1% from a Suction Bomb detonating or a Seeker leaving a trail after the buzzer.
Place your bets on the winner /ink/
>>135799349
Also the Bomb Sniffer reduction is before DMG+/DEF+ calculations so the safe distance won't change, DEF+ will still reduce the damage even more though.
>>135799770
I just know it will be Sandcastles. What do I win?
>>135799529
Funny thing is it happened again later with a Slosher in the Splatfest.
It's really satisfying.
>>135799264
First time I was messing with that special too. Three times I was kicking ass with it, then d/c. Ridiculous.

S Sandcastle: my splatfest was filled with mostly disconnects, 3v4s (both ways), and a decent amount of mirror matches.
>>135800748
Red is vastly more popular than Blue, as we saw. That's what matters.
5 more minutes until I get to disappoint Callie

who killed rainy?
Take that you memeing fucks

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>135801862
Mother fucker, it must be based on brackets.
High skilled autists like those in /ink/ all chose sand so in the high power levels you had a lot more mirror matches.
Meanwhile the shitters all went with snow so they had mirror matches there.
THE WHOLE SYSTEM AS WE KNEW IT IS FUCKED.

Callie still has most wins, Mariefags.
Would snowman won if the win rate was 49-51?

GG sandcastles. Here's a congratulatory snow job, courtesy of team snowman.
What's an OK power level for an S ranker to end on? Even though I didn't lose many matches mine still hasn't moved much...
CALLIE IS FUCKING SHIT

I want Marie to abuse me for winning plenty of matches this Splatfest.

Typical. You have to be a depressed loser to pick snow over the beach.
All the cool people went with sandcastles.
How long until EU results? And we can finally wipe this cunt off the face of the earth?

I want to dig those coins out of Marie's cleavage!

I've fought more mirror matches than proper ones so far. Matchmaking takes forever even just to make up a mirror match. I'm going to wait a couple of hours for the Euros to wake up and try again.
>3 rollers on the other team
HOLY FUCK I'M SO SCARED
THEY'RE EVERYWHERE
We had tons of sand mirror matches in the S Rank battles, but from what I've heard, there were very few elsewhere.
How would this have gone without Splatfest Power? Another 41-59 curbstomp?

>have a huge lead with 30 seconds left with great map coverage
>pop bubble grabbing the RM and start playing keep away by falling way back
>jap teammate starts spamming c'mon and comes back to me shooting at me
>I just squidbag as we win the game
Had a good laugh but do people not understand the concept of not risking a loss if you don't have to?
