/ink/ - Splatoon General - Rockin' Edition

>woke up at 2AM where i live (JP splatfest started at 5AM)
>first time ever playing Splatoon, played through all splatfests
>it's 10:30PM now
>cut the last one short because feeling tired. Not sleepy, just a bit tired
>hearing the splatfest song in the background while the night goes on
>mfw haven't been this happy in a long time
Thanks Splatoon for existing. And thank you /ink/ for a good talk.

>Top team almost every time
>Still lose
>See some dumb asshole on my team with 1 kill
I'm gonna go nuclear

>drop the hammer
>not drop the anchor

you had one job Treehouse

What's the point of the teams?
Do team ice cream and team cake add up all of their points at the end, like houses in Harry Potter?

Can having the dock behind a TV screw up my pro controller connection?

Moved it from the livingroom to my room behind the TV (on the edge, barely behind a TV), and i'm getting connection problems

>last hour of the splatfest starts
>entirety of team ice cream suddenly becomes shit
>ice cream power goes from 2,000 to 1,800
>finally start running into team cakes
>lose every match

Why is NoA so incompetent?

the boobs get me every time

thank god
I'm sick of people unplugging their router when they lose at mk8

>stayed up to catch the splatfest results after the splatfest
>no results were given
>stay up longer, because surely any moment now
>no results were given
>can't stay awake any longer
And now I am realizing that my decision to stay up for the results, have resulted in me missing the results due to falling asleep. Good going Nintendo. Couldn't you have given a heads up on Twitter or something at the very least?

Still a 10/10 game, but fuck this.

There's a new category for winning, team wins counts as 1/3 of the winning score. (Popularity, Solo wins, and Team wins)

>TFW have to work through splatfest
What do you get for participating? What am I missing out on?

Loadouts are with amiibos, though. So they kind of do exist.

Ice cream bros, forming a lobby now
I'm number 19 on the fc list in the op

You get nothing for the full game, but you DO get to say which team you were on to your friends, so you got that going for ya.

No

how many friends did everyone get from random queue?

Oh thank goodness, I was worried I'd be missing out on all those sweet sweet snails again.

>I got 8 kills
>the rest of the team got 0 kills collectively
What the fuck, cakefags?

Okay, I'm halfway considering actually getting this game, because it's kind of fun. But I cannot hang with Joycons.

What's the best Switch Pro controller out there? I remember PowerLead made an amazing one for the Wii U, but the only thing I could find was some Hori that looked like shit and isn't even out yet.

>Best match we won by only .1
>Average kills 8-10 per match.
>Pushing the Ice Cream fags into their own territory so they can't move at all.

Being a Cake King is bliss.

What were the EU results?

i think i've seen this post before

My guess would be transferrable sea snails, maybe even other goodies now that we have the food shop + Murch

Added

YAAAS
QUEEEN

Just get the pro controller.

Why is the Stingray so shit

N/A

Just get the regular pro-con

It'll be great in ranked

>averaging 800-1000 points per match
>team constantly in danger state
>games suddenly a lot more laggy
>team mates can't splat for shit
>constant loss
what did i do to deserve this I just want to be a queen I need like 25 more points

>that part where marina is singing and pear is rapping simultaneously

no offense (calliefag here), but in hindsight, how could callie and marie EVER compare

I accidentally posted it in the dead thread.

Alright, pass is 0008.

Have you tried the controller dock? Playing it in handheld mode is a disaster in itself because not only do you have to rotate the entire console to use the motion controls, but dropping it at all is a bad time. Playing with only the Joycons is also pretty bad. If you don't want to shill for the pro controller, the controller dock included with the Switch is honestly not a bad time. Maybe a cramped hand every now and then, but still great.

Aaand that's it. Ice Cream Queen. Maxed out at 1954.2 power (I'm a shitter, no bully).

I'm pretty sure Ice Cream will lose, but thanks for the fight and all.

THE Pro Controller. Simple.

>tfw in the mood to do turf war now

I've yet to actually get hit by someone using Stingray, either their aim sucks or the super is just shitty.

>make it all the way to Ice Cream Queen
>only play Team Cake 11 times

At least I still went 8-3

My highest as a Cake Fag was 2086 I think. I have no idea if that's good or not.

worthless post

I figure the "average" is about 1800. The lowest I saw was around 1600. Let's just say it's a good number.

It's pretty good user

Nothing. Its just been a really good advertisement to people that don't get splatoon from seeing videos.

I'm lpving the way that ink drips down walls, it'll make Flounder Heights less of a bitch for blasters

So what's to stop me from making two accounts during a Splatfest?

One where I play really well and then another where I purposefully lose?

9900 passwordfag here, trying to fill the squad again. I apologize for wasting time. Also sorry I don't talk in the thread much, we're in the discord.

Surely you aren't all boring?

Nothing lol

I SAID NO BULLY!

Oh god times almost up and I'M SO CLOSE TO KING.

I just saw a kid take the last switch in Target

Which one?

Gonna bail to let you solo queue a bit more dude, my b.

Good for him, he'll have fun with it I'm sure.

The one in the OP.

fucking blogposting is worthless
kill yourself

I haven't been playing it handheld, the problem is that the joysticks are so small that it's incredibly difficult to make small adjustments with.

Motion controls don't work for me because I use inverted look.

You notice how Marina and Pearl mostly stay in the center of the stage?
This means that Callie and Marie are gonna be on the right and left of the stage for splat fests after you beat the game, right?

Please Nintendo?

>81/99 2142.4 power level

I'm not going to make it cakebros

He fucking is. He bought MK

>20/50 ice cream defender
sorry folks, just couldnt get into it.

Post best Splatoon music that you've heard.

youtube.com/watch?v=KYLTPsJqZtg

A shame that you only ever hear ten of the twenty seconds, but god damn it got me psyched in the first few matches.

There's only a few minutes left anyway. Might as well just do solo queue until the end.
GGs anyway, Shame we only fought one Cake team.

Nice power level, though.

>2/10 Cake Fanboy
welp, just one of those days, sorry squad

>still running into fanboys/girls
What the fuck

No problem. GGs, it was fun. Thank you for saving me from that dualies guy on moray. I appeciated that.

ONE MORE WIN

Does your account keep a record of your splatfest rankings?

We're going to crush cake, they have like 25% popularity. We are going to blow them away. Hold your head up!

Well that was a great first Splat Fest my fellow squids.

I didn't get to play until an hour before it ended, just barely made it to defender.

heh

this one won't carry over into the full release

how do you dash with the dualies?

More popularity = more losses

B

jump while shooting

>splatfest demo says at the beginning that nothing will be saved or carried over
>people still ask anyway

Press B while shooting.

PHOTO FINISH ROYALTY GET.

Just decided to end on a win. I came way late to the party and won't make royalty but I hope I made my cakebros proud regardless

Im glad I can do these again

Slightly better high score than me bro, I'm proud.

>only needed a few more points
>kept getting paired with shitters
I'm mad.

Anyone who played exclusively with the charger?
What's your splatfest power?

I had a ton of trouble with the duelies when I played I keep want to jump but I roll instead.

When are results posted
