Hey anyone got that splatfest bingo?

Friends with Octarians!

Drown all Octarians!

I did it, /ink/

I found my dream team

I regret not playing this game more often. Hope it doesn't lose too many players after this splatfest.

did you play in the splatfest

It's shitposting that's existed since the first splatfest.

we need more inkling daddies

>This is how it ends

Thanks for the fun times Splatfests.

I've missed this. Better times long ago

>has the audacity to call one of the sisters their waifu when you haven't even gotten King/Queen rank with them
What's your excuse?

I'm tired and I want to go to sleep, but I don't want it to be over.

Fucking hell

I haven't played this game in a while, and coming back for the Splatfest reminds me why. Pure competitive shooters stress me the fuck out so much it isn't funny.

I'm on the verge of biting my gamepad after a series of losses. I'm still 50 points away from royalty, but I'm tempted to call it a night and see if I wake up in the morning early enough to try and get the rest of the way. From my current performance it'll need 20-30 more matches to get there.

im playing a little later

Did anyone ever scan and upload the Splatoon artbook?

Because I can't stop playing long enough to post much. Tomorrow, the magic dies.

...

OC here

i got 2, im glad scatfest is over now i can enjoy solo ranked without getting caged for 2-3 days in row

Yes I did

I legit feel abit sad that this is it

>dies

All good things come to an end, user. Just be happy that thing doesn't get dragged through the mud beforehand.

For the user that asked for the cutoff for top 100

As of this moment for team Callie it's 1950

One day I'm going to find all these fuckers that think it's okay to just idle at spawn for half the match and snap glass rods in their urethras.

uh user
what rank are you

Great Eraserhead cosplay, you can clearly see the disatisfaction of life in his eyes.

>the Wii U is dead tomorrow

I'm glad I got the console for free

I havent played in forever so I think I was, A?

ain't gonna pick

i know that means i can't participate in the final splatfest with the epic music, but i don't wanna pick

i don't want either to lose
i'll just chill in the plaza

Calm the fuck down, /hsg/.

>/ink/ will go back to being dead after tomorrow
>/ink/ will never be this alive again until the next game is release
I I honestly might just leave for good after the splatfest ends. it's only downhill from here, and I want to finish on a high note.

buy our plastic figures goy

Don't leave ;.;

You know, I didn't even notice until now how you could see the sky on this map. How beautiful it is on Splatfest nights...

You fucked up
You will be one of the only western players left

>oc here
why did you feel the need to mention this?

Almost as beautiful as her

I hope the NX isn't shit so I can buy Splat2n

Booyah Base is somewhere in the Northern hemisphere at least.

time to merge, you can't escape

Fucking Calliefags! Get your shit together ffs. Why I can't get the Dynamos? Every team I get is a fucking brush, they don't paint, don't kill, dont push, don'f defend, fuck them.

Pretty

Is there any reason to reach Royalty other then more snails? Like, is it tracked somewhere? It's a bit too much of a grind for me.

gonna be pissed if they pull some "it's a tie everyone wins" bullshit

wait, the servers will still be running, right? just no more splatfests?

can't wait for these digusting mariefags to eat shit when callie wins
i will chop up marie amiibo to celebrate

So no more snails after this splatfest?

I wouldn't mind if it actually ended up like that and the results weren't fiddled with.

Only Marie royalty gets to keep their shirt, Callie royalty escapes the ban hammer

Correct. It's only Splatfest events that will stop. Everything else continues as normal

because i'm a original creator :^)

What's your counterbet if Marie wins?

It's not nice to lie on the internet, user.
Servers only have afew months before they are shutdown

That's exactly what I'm hoping for...
Give everyone 999 Snails to sweeten the deal?

disconnects

your english isn't shitty enough, go study the archive and try again later

how will we get sea snails, then?

This, why would they continue when there are no more updates?

watch the master
fuck off nigger

no more Snails, no more multiplayer, no more splatoon.

> Servers
Though if you're talking about whatever system it is that supports the P2P play, I'd be beyond pissed if this happened. If they were going to shut it down this fast anyway, why not have dedicated servers from the start?

What would you want in a Spla2oon for NX?

>we'll never go back to Summer 2015 /ink/
why live

I have returned (banned again for the same reason, thanks mods)
And in a manner akin to a rich uncle that you only get to visit twice a year, I bear many gifts
Like seriously I got to a LOT of translating the past few days
This first one I don't like too much because it's kind of dumb, but I might as well
also noticed many, many shitposters, especially on marie's side, disappointed

It's all servers, P2P is far more trouble than it's worth for a large console company

Octolings to be the main race and all Squids removed

I really hope that doesn't happen

time keeps going faster the older i get and it's making me uncomfortable

i would like for it to exist and the NX to not be a huge flop

how about replays and spectator mode
no idea why this game doesn't have replays

this

I certainly hope no one actually believes the servers will be shut down soon
Servers will typically stay up for years after a game is released - Nintendo won't just drop the ball on 4 and a half million users on something that isn't particularly costly

>assuming that we know who you are
this triggers me. I'm glad you're back, though

I'm more disappointed in the shitposters on Callie's side.
But who cares, this is what live threads are like during Splatfest.

>there was never octoling skins for multiplayer

just fuck me up jesus christ

whatever happened to STD? I see that their Twitter is gone.

This artist has fucking issues. Worst couple ever.

It's literally possible to hack them into the game and not be banned it's why they never released them

I did this one a while back, but I had to change it after realizing that prostrating is much more serious and deserved than bowing, whether or not less than 99% of people know what it is
Also changed it to give it a bit more of a TEAM SPIRIT feel
I guess you do have a point, so I'll rephrase
Translated comics have returned
calm

>connections perfect, no comm errors
>had multiple dream teams
>no dickshitting bunnyhoppers
>no goddamn eliters
>minimal krakens
>calliefags have been honorable and worthy opponents
>everyone's pretty fresh
>no japanese anywhere
>m-motherfucking-fw

This cannot get any better bros, i don't even give a shit who wins, all I know is that I'm having fun and I hope you guys are too

the team is disbanded

Thatso is in a new team
よしまP doing weeb stuff
bum is busy doing stuff
moon and mars somewhere
and i'm busy enjoying my 3ds

WHERE IS MY FUCKING MANMENMEI
I NEED MY DOSE

Life is not worth living without Splatfests! Goodbye, cruel world!

Do a flip

I think bowing is enough, not even the Bible uses 'prostrating'... that and it sounds like something to do with a prostate

Think he meant to say "castrate"

I feel your pain user. Look at these fools, dancing the night away.

They will never dance again.

>no recordings of tw lobbies

what if squidllings show up and Allah ackbar the splatfest result?

>squidllings

same here bro, except I'm on the callie side.
>switch to my alt
>1400 points
>games are much harder than they were in 2000+
it may have been because I was using a charger and roller, but I was surprised. I think that the low rank mariefags are winning by a mile, unfortunately. not like the experience of a western player matter, anyway, though, since most of the players are japanese

"A weapon dedicated to me" was kind of tricky to translate - the term literally used was "itabuki" which literally translates to "pain weapon", so I was a bit confused
On further research, I learned that prefixing an item with "ita" puts it in a very specific kind of category - a custom item that's been absolutely dedicated to some character(s), usually to the extent of eyesore
Google "痛車" (itakuruma, pain car) under images and you'll get the picture
"Bowing" and "prostrate" will have very different meanings, though
First of all, "bow" is a bit ambiguous
It could be a slight bow, just slightly hunching over, or it could be something like the duel bow from Dark Souls 2 - the levels of formality and respect differ
There's also just the connotation entirely: While bowing CAN be used in a worshipping context, it also has the possible meanings of simple respect, formality or even celebration (think an actor post-performance)
Meanwhile, prostrate almost exclusively connotes awe and worship - and considering it's Uchakuma who drew it, I'm almost certain that's what she wanted to go for

I mean octoling I sware

how many more japs are there than western players, like 10 to 1?

>haven't played in over a year
>visit Sheldon
So many fucking weapons

Try 30 to 1

okey doke

I love these comics
and the itabuki thing is pretty funny now that I've seen these "pain cars". thanks for the translator's notes!

doing a good job, friend
