Here's the thread for the best squideogames, just in time for the first real splatfest of Splatoon 2. Mayonnaise(Pearl) vs Ketchup(Marina). Red and white, whats that make you think of? Do you have a preference, or are you going to decide by girl?
In Splatoon 2, the Tri-Slosher is said to be pretty amazing at the moment. It's range matches up with the standard splattershot while having consistent slosher accuracy. Give it a whirl and see if you can use that as a secret weapon for your splatfest team. Your performance will decide laws here, so do your best.

Its as simple as pressing the home button and navigating to this thread. It may have trouble loading though, allow it to stop scripts. Also, you'll only be able to upload one at a time. If you want to use an image hosting for multiple uploads, check to make sure it doesnt reduce image quality.
As far as I know there are 3 options. A micro SD card can be inserted into a slot under the Switch's stand. You can transfer screenshots to and from the card either one at a time or en masse from Data Management in the system settings. Any screenshots taken while the card is in seem to get saved to the card. Be advised that inserting the card requires a restart. The other options involve social media, how dreadful. If I were to recommend one over the other, well, I've tried to make a twitter account to make squidverse posts and while making the account itself was no problem i then had to claim a username, while i was doing that it decided I was acting like a spam bot and demanded my phone number. Beware of that.
I need to buy a capacitive stylus so I can introduce Splatoon to monster girls.
William Myers
free online forever?
Eli Flores
So I finally played this game at my friends and holy shit is it bad. This is a game for retarded children and most of the people you play against are retarded children.
Who has fun with this? Why the fuck is this popular?
Caleb Young
introduce? it stars monster girls.
without the sprinker it feels weaker in that role.
Cooper Myers
OCTOLINGS ARE SUPERIOR
Matthew Hall
I miss the sprinkler too. However I don't know if that would be the ideal sub to par up with the game's current specials.
Well then can I introduce Kraken-chan to Splatoon?
Kevin Sanchez
Until 2018 and then it's 20$ a year
Andrew Baker
Marina is an untrustworthy individual and you're not safe her type. She comes from a violent race and her appearance in pop culture is just a way for the mainstream media to brainwash us into thinking that Marina and her people are upstanding citizens. But I swear that I don't want anything to do with those dirty octos.
Tyler Wilson
you better get kraken, as they say.
Jaxson Cook

Adam White
Would you adopt an Inkling or an Octoling? I would adopt both.
Landon Smith
you have to get both so you can get a tomboy and a scientist
Luis Mitchell
In splat zones, I went from C- to B-, then to B+, then to A+. How does the game determine how far you rank up?
Austin Murphy
Wow they actually did it.
Connor Baker
How hard is it to play online now? Will I be able to setup my switch in an hour?
Easton Cooper
id bet, yeah.
Juan Williams
Get a usb-to-ethernet adapter. USB 3.0 preferably. Why they didn't include it in the damn dock in the first place is first class Jewry
Jose Gray
Hope you splurged for the pro controller. The joycon is awful
Tyler Wilson
This works? If so I guess I'm just retarded for not figuring out sooner.
Robert Thompson
Try holding one in each hand disconnected from the tablet and say that again.
Christopher Price
Did you keep a few of the filters?
Lucas Hughes
sell me your pro controller?
Adam Nguyen
No, because it's the Splatoon one and I don't know if they'll ever make more.
Caleb Martinez
Yeah, it'll more or less solve latency issues with the game. A number of USB-to-Ethernet adapters outside the official Nintendo ones work as well, but they need to have the same ASIX chipset.
I think Plebbit has listed a few ones, including an Amazon Basics.
Luke Lee
What's the point of the tomboy?
Charles Watson
don't kill me for saying this but i think the splatoon controller looks ugly so i'm good thanks
Bentley Hernandez
I see, thats ass that it wasnt included with the console. But I guess thats just the way that it is, don't bother none
Lucas Morris
It's pretty sweet in person, the designs on the semi-translucent plastic have different "depth" to them, like some are deeper in the plastic. It's strange to describe unless you hold it in your hand. And I personally like the obnoxious color scheme, I wish I could have gotten the joycons.
Leo Brown
I can't see how ethernet vs wifi would solve anything unless you've got fiber. I can't get better than a 50ms ping from my ISP, so another couple ms on top of that really isn't making a difference.
Brayden Cook
Amazon had them up recently, but I wasn't sure if it was worth 80 burgers. It looks really rad though.
Juan Jackson
to stir hearts
Nathan Sanchez
It really depends on your network setup and the quality of your connection.
Wifi is subject to interference and transmission hiccups. These are forgivable with downloads and streaming, but a pain with multiplayer games where data is constantly being exchanged.
At least with Ethernet you're getting your data straight from your router/modem and getting consistently lower latency.
It doesn't solve it if the connection is crap to begin with, but as a personal anecdote, running on Broadband through Ethernet made for less disconnects for me. Every little bit counts.
Nathaniel Turner
youre essentially holding the squid sisters with that controller. its like theyre playing video games with you. how many 2d girls can you get that close to?
Blake Morris
I got this diorama thing for my squid amiibos and it came with stickers, so I've got Callie and Marie on the back of my Switch.

The good thing about the drawing is that the limited controls are an excuse for being bad so it doesn't matter if your attempts are a bit shit, it's still fun to draw.

Are you running multiplayer through wifi, user?
You either need an ethernet connection or Nintendo's servers are crapping out due to Splatfest.
Or maybe it's both.
Christian Carter
White Skin sure, but that thing is an afront to nature
Jose Butler
Naw, I'm using an Ethernet adapter, so I'm assuming it's on Nintendo's end. I normally don't have any problems. Also it's super shitty that the switch is a touted as a system you can take anywhere, but the wifi is garbage.
Isaiah Allen
I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to mean single-player console-level portable gaming.
Zachary Anderson
Yeah, I have ethernet, it's still shit, my Internet connection is pretty good, it's Nintendo's fault.
Why do they think people will pay for this? The in-game play is P2P, which costs Nintendo nothing and is worse/more laggy than regional servers would be (WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE WHOLE POINT OF 'PAID ONLINE'), and then their matchmaking servers, the one part they are having to pay to maintain constantly, can only get you 1-3 matches every 20-30min during a SplatFest.
Honestly, I think it's pretty obvious to everyone at this point that Nintendo's paid online is a scam, and when it rolls out, it will flop, HARD.
Lucas Price
Fuck you nigger.
Leo Morales
Do you even kusoge?
Wasn't that hard. With the wii-u I had to have composite cables plugged in to get audio to my speakers, but it's nice the switch had a built in headphone jack. holy fuck are the joycons garbage though. So glad I got the pro controller.
Is there a specific one I should get, or will any work?
Nip splatfest is over. It was a fierce battle to the end; no idea what result will be.
Online service has been rock-solid here even with the Splatfest and Salmon Run going full-tilt. Maybe you just live in a country with shitty backhaul infrastructure, user. :^)
Caleb Foster
fuck off
Camden Rodriguez
...
Ethan Stewart
hmm.. me thinks this iteration of shifty station is too huge. especially with regards to the side areas.
Oliver Reed
For Honor operates on the same P2P system and I think they lost a lot of users now, not sure how it'll go given that Nintendo has a pretty solid fanbase. They still have a few months to decide to set dedicated servers.
Your account is anecdotal, user. P2P depends on other players having a decent connection in addition to your own.
It's true. I live in a different country with different matchmaking servers and a different playerbase so I'm in a different set entirely except that I'm playing the same game with the same server software behind the scenes.
During the splatfest I has to wait ~20 seconds at most for a match to start and I think the servers got wonky maybe twice during the whole event. Over 70 matches or so I saw one idler and four players who dropped out.
Infrastructure here is pretty good, so many of the frustrations that come from having shit access equipment, fraying cables and oversubscribed backhaul don't tend to manifest here.
Also maybe Nintendo spun up more servers here, though it's hard to see why they would have underprovisioned NA/EU since the backend server software would be identical.
Dominic Morgan
What's the most FUN weapon + clothes combo? I just got to level 6 & some of the brushes have been funny to use. nobody seems to play with them though.
Oliver Campbell
I like cuntboys :3
Jackson Morgan
It's pretty decent here too, even if it's a backwater country. Consider me fortunate since I'm running
Daniel Miller
fun things are fun!
This is a good conversation we're having here. Is Ninja squid still in the game? what about landmines?
Wyatt Adams

Thanks for straw-manning my response, user. I'm sure you're being a massive as help.
Evan Hill
No problem. what's this I hear about the Tri Slosher being broken? Will I see it a lot at high level play?

Nathaniel Ward
I've noticed a lot of animosity towards the octobrush. Is it really that cheap? I've used it a little bit and it didn't seem that amazing, it mainly just seemed to work well against the aerospray and short range weapons. I've also seen less than 5 people use them, do they get really common in the higher ranked games or something? Is that where the animosity towards them comes from?
Also is there any date on when the brella will be available for multiplayer? Easily my favorite single player weapon.
Ian Jenkins
Has anyone had squid rings before? How are they? I've never been able to eat seafood.
Sebastian Watson
Varies depending on how they're prepared. Usually there's some lemon in there which gives them a bit of a sour flavor, the squid itself has a sweet and savory almond like taste mixed with fish flavor. Chewing them varies from feeling like gummy candy and a bit tougher fish.
I'd recommend them with fries or deep fried potato slices.
Asher Price
They're good, it just depends on the quality of the ingredients, like anything.
Luke Wilson
I ordered deepfried, whole, baby squids awhile ago, and one of them wasn't debeaked and it made me sad. I feel bad for eating their little squid bodies. Squids are smart.
Tyler Brown
damn, my connection is pretty bad during this splatfest. Joined a couple of 3vs3, can't continue after a game b/c connection gets lost. Also, many many Ketchup Vs Ketchup battles.
I eat fried calimari a lot, I love it. That's a slightly different dish though.
Christopher Ward
Why user?, do you have an allergy?
Angel Ramirez
...
Bentley Gonzalez
Kinda hard to describe if you've never had seafood. But if there's one type of seafood people who don't usually eat seafood like, it's probably squid rings. However, you should get them from a place that you are certain of makes quality food. More than a few places love serving you cheap garbage that isn't even really squid.
Nicholas Morgan
If they're so smart, why are they dead?
Camden Rivera

Benjamin Collins

Anthony Stewart
Post more mature squids.
Caleb Johnson
I don't live near the sea and I wouldn't consider anything that has to be imported hundreds of miles to where I live to be real seafood.
Sounds pretty good. Would try if I ever got the chance.
Noah Lopez
You're not wrong. The best seafood I've had was always in towns that are close to the sea and rely on fishing. All the frozen, imported shit just doesn't compare to fresh seafood.
Brandon Morgan
I feel you man,I live near the water so getting fish lobster, crab and such is cheap Always try to get fish fresh and don't eat it if it smells off
Parker Cook
Ninja Squid is still around, and if anything seems more effective than before.
Landmines are around but have been horribly nerfed (the explosion seems to only TAG enemies, a la point sensor, rather than do any damage - which is doubly useless without the Wii U's map screen.) On the plus side, you can have two active landmines at a time and the game alerts you when one of them has detonated, so they're still good for maintaining ink coverage, I guess.
Strange; I got up at 6 am (EST) and started playing, and I've had several Mayo vs Mayo matches. Ketchup players seem to be few and far between. I was a little surprised, given that Marina seemed to be more popular AND had the more "normal" choice. Maybe Treehouse's butchering of her personality has turned people off more than anticipated.
Luis Brown
sorry, I don't have that much
Bentley Cox
I would, but I've been too much of a shut-in to even talk to people on the mumble. How about next time? unless I get a job, that is
Logan Ross
psst, hey squid, wanna buy some eggs?
Andrew Thomas
i wonder if its just that the range on a lot of shooters has been nerfed. which might be the same boat tri slosher is in.
ninja squid still exists, im not sure if its been changed at all, but it does as advertised. theres also stealth jump, though when i was using it i could have sworn the enemy was waiting for me. luckily it was near a ledge so i was able to roll to safety.
the mines do like 35 damage or something, which using the rapid blaster is enough to finish them off with the 85 damage from a rapid blasters direct hit or 2 'blasts'. im not sure if theres damage falloff. i seem to hit a lot more opponents with them too, it may just be due to the fact that it doesnt outright kill you so people dont understand that they still shouldnt be getting hit by them. or maybe the radius is bigger.
Adrian Miller
Are you allowed to play in the Nip Splatfests by setting your region and language to Japan no matter what copy you're using, or do you have to buy a Nip copy of the game to do so? I'm assuming the latter.
Isaiah Perez
Hate to double post, but Japanese splatfest results came in.
Joshua Sullivan
How do I stop this anguish from my anus?
James Ward
well a lot of it is going to come down to how your team handles it. you could light them up with point sensors to both put the fear of god in the aerosprays who cant stand a direct fight, and even the least hunter minded teammates love to shoot something with a bit circle hovering around it.
John White
Are we in fucking Europe?
Julian Morgan
The japanese love mayo. They also put fried eggs in their burgers (not pictured).
Ethan Miller
Fried eggs on burgers are fucking delicious, but yeah, the Nips have questionable taste in condiments.
Jeremiah Cruz
Looks like Marina is going to get bukkake'd in mayo in Japan.
David White

Noah Powell
samurais put mayo in everything dont they?
the contrast with her skin tone is sure to please
Camden Torres
Stealth jump doesn't hide you completely, it only hides you from people who are a certain distance from your landing point. Enemies who are nearby still see it.
Liam Brooks
I heard the oils in mayo can be good for dry skin.
Chase Lopez
Yeah they sure do. They put corn-syrup trash on spaghetti noodles too.
Gavin Carter

So they act as point sensors then? they track enemies? How is Ninja Squid better this time around? Is there something broken you can do with it?
Camden Kelly
I've gotten kills with the mine (usually in tower control).
Aiden Gutierrez
Squid is like the edible version of Octopus. Octopus is SUPER chewy.
Evan Perry
Whatcha in this splatfest?
Benjamin Foster
i kill people with mines all the time, they just dont do very much damage
Samuel Peterson
my tv sucks at reds. its like everyone on the enemy team is wearing ninja squid. its heartbreaking because most of my losses are less than 3%, and i just know if id die to one less crocodile id be winning those. this happened in the first game too, i forget which splatfest it was
Jose Perez
Is the Splatfest reward system the same as in Splat1, or does your power rating come into play?
Eli Barnes
Japanese mayo is completely different from mayo found elsewhere.
Henry Turner
I didn't play the pre-launch fest so I didn't know the splatfest music was so good. Pearl's rapping animations are really cute.
Compared to the last game, they go off a lot faster, take less ink to place, track enemies and you can have two of them. They're definitely more all-around useful than the old ones.
Dylan Jones
Ive got the Squelcher with 6x special guage charge. It feels as awesome as it did in the first game.
P.s. Sloshers are faggots
Aaron Parker
how so?
Jonathan King
They use apple or rice vinegar instead of distilled vinegar and instead of the whole egg they just use the egg yolk. Also contains a lot of MSG. Resulting in a sweeter and more "oriental" taste and a thicker consistency. Like syrup that isn't runny.
Aaron Wright
sounds like youre saying they dont use cheap ingredients. im sure theres better brands than hellmans and heinz
Brandon Clark
People keep forgetting that its good to grind to the King rank for the better rewards even if your team loses.
Gavin Turner
This splatfest comes down to Japan Vs. the U.S.A. If you picked mayo then you're not doing your civic duty.
Matthew Jackson

speaking of splattershot jr, are there any similar weapons i should try out for turf war? love the weapon but i hate its weak firepower
Ryder Bennett
Mayos for fags though.
Liam Butler

Matthew Bennett
I mean, the regular splattershots are right there. They're still pretty much the best weapons in turf wars.
N-Zap '85 if you want to keep the ink armor special.
Noah Reyes
They're okay for what they do. Those are made as primarily a sandwich spread or a binder for tuna or chicken salad. Nip mayo is made to be put on everything, a ketchup replacement.
Ethan Powell
Well now I do, shit
Blake Ortiz
Behead those who insult pearl and mayo
Jace Lopez
sure, not like its mcdonalds tier. but apple cider vineger in general is just so much better, or maybe i should say more flavorful. i would never dip my fries in distilled vinegar.

Splatoon 2 is the worst sequel in video games since Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and in accepting it this slavishly, you have proven to be the most pathetic and casual fanbase on Holla Forums.
Isaiah Bailey
Speaking of tenta missiles, found it easier to casually walk out of the way rather than swim as fast as I can to minimize the ink coverage.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Speaking of that how fun would it be if Nintendo comissioned the composer of Megaman X to compose tracks for a Salmonid parody band based of Guns 'n Roses called "Coral 'n Skillets".
Jack Howard

Juan King
Okay, I'll bite. What's your source for those technical claims? They're the only ones that really matter.
Austin Kelly
Mayo vs Ketchup is maybe third Splatfest tier, the first and last ones should be fucking Blood Feuds, but besides that, I've been completely unable to connect to even a single match so it's not like it matters.
Brandon Parker
i dont know the first thing about guns and roses, but if theres ever a campaign against salmonids that early 16 bit rock would fit into plenty of salmon themed stages, like a run down cannery or ship yard. the salmonids have an orky post apocalyptic scavenger feel to them, i think.

I can understand not liking some of the online features, especially the paid online, region locked servers and the mobile app. But even with the changes in how the online works, the game is mostly the same as the original, even to the point that one of the major gripes of the game is that it is more of the same stuff because no one really bought a Wii U and Nintendo can get away with it. Saying Splatoon 2 is the worst sequel in video games, when most of the base game is still intact, is a big overstatement.
Cooper Barnes

I didn't buy the game or a switch. I just shitpost about the splatfest/octolings since saying how each of my matches in splatoon 1 went isn't exactly fun for the thread. Making fun of pearl is fun and I will agree that marina is a bit too dark; she should have been just somewhat tan.

I've been unable to get a single match today, been trying over the past 2-3 hours. People show up on the list, but it never gets up to 8 people.
Obviously as I'm making this post, my Internet is perfectly fine, and I've had no issue playing Splatoon up until this point (other than a lot of disconnects yesterday during the JP Splatfest, although even then I could get 2-3 games every 30min.)
What is going on?
Hudson Edwards
I was playing about an hour or two ago and I've been able to do the splatfest, I'm in the US by the way.
Anthony Diaz
god i hate curling bombs but sometimes you can do some amazing shit with them. maybe it really is good for the doot o matic when it enables such rapid changing of positions. and it freaks people out when they dont know if youre right next to the curly bomb or not. and is it me or is the sploosh more accurate these days?
that is an odd occurrence, ive only had that happen 3 times in the 8 or so hours ive been playing. i always chalked it up to matchmaking trying and failing to find a relatively closely rated and low latency match however like 90% of my games i dont get the option of playing another because of some kind of communication error. even when the match itself went off without any problems.
Julian Gutierrez
What if instead of 4v4, there was a splatfest event with 2v2v2v2, team of squids, team of octos, team of salmonids and team of catballs? Would be chaos
Anthony Kelly
just make it 1v1 so i can't blame others
Michael Wilson
sounds like 4 people would be stuck not playing as lolis, unless there are mermaid salmonids which wouldnt shock me all that much considering the octarian varieties.
David Perez
What if splatfests forced everyone to use the same weapon so it was a true test of skill instead of who can meta better?
William Wilson
Holy shit drawfags get on this. They gotta have sexy bodies but keep the retarded eyes.
Camden James
theyd either be a bit derpy like most of the salmonids, or super serious arrogant royalty.

not in the first game. but if you really like that ability set then hold on to it and see. i doubt it, but you only get one chunk per ability nixed. and youd need 60 total if you want to forge a full set of 3 from nothing. man id love my dog team tee. it would be the cheaters lament halo of splatoon.
Jaxon Smith
Here's the video. What the hell is this? I don't think Nintendo's servers are that busy right now.
Christian Hill
Also, please take a look at my posts in this thread and look at all the dubs and trips. I think something's going on here.
Brayden Rivera
Especially not since apparently the game isn't even run on servers - it apparently always sets up a P2P connection.
If you've ever wondered why sometimes Splatoon 2 gives you a communication error and INSTANTLY dumps you, and sometimes instead gives you the error and then forces you to run around uselessly for 30 seconds with everything frozen and you can't do anything, that's why - apparently in those instances you were the host, but Nintendo in their infinite wisdom chose to disconnect you anyway.
Still enjoying the game, but god damn it if Nintendo is gonna start charging us money for online they'd better fix their shit.
Anthony Richardson

This is to get those little chunks to help better my equipment, correct? Otherwise I see no logical reason to scrub a shirt that I won't even get to keep despite it being forced on me for the whole Splatfest because Nintendo hates memorabilia that damn much.
Connor Perry
Matchmaking is one of the few things Nintendo servers actually do handle, I believe. In-game play is P2P tho.
Alexander Smith
What were they thinking?
Kayden Ward
yeah, youll get one ability chunk per deleted ability. in fact this discount was on from the moment you get the tee, not just during the actual splatfest. so, if youre worried about handicapping yourself during splatfest scrub it during the preceding days after youve picked a team.
Brody Bell
mayo vs ketchup
Brandon Gomez
I had a good run for a long time, but then the last four matches were losses even though I consistently inked 1200p and at least went even in kills. I could probably just grind it out if I wanted to get higher but I can't be fucked. I'm just a tad salty about losing 100 points for no reason.
Andrew Parker
why are all mayofag teams made up of nothing but furfags?
Angel Price
they're faggots who like to drink cum
Robert Allen
Is the AU and US Splatfest the same one again?
Is there a massive imbalance between Ketchup and Mayo because I can't find any fucking Mayo.
Carson Price
you mean glue? because that's what it looks like
Michael Robinson
I didn't even realize until now, the opening is uncannily similar.
Elijah Nguyen
Cum can, possibly, look like glue.
David Parker
Will the new colors be permanent, or at least the winning team's? They're both fantastic.
Evan Davis
They usually don't keep splatfest colors, do they? I don't remember that being the case. Also honestly they made me hungry for pizza more than anything. The entire map looked like a giant pizza more than once for me
David Reyes
No they're fucking not. The red is obnoxious depending on your TV color settings and the white makes people practically invisible because you can't see the shine/ripples.
Jordan White
That gives me a great idea for the next Splatfest: Pizza vs. Spaghetti.
Both teams will be tomato sauce.
Eli Rodriguez
What the fucking fuck is this fucking bullshit.
William Robinson
yeah i cant see ketchup team swim at all. its terrifying.
Lucas Rodriguez
what have i done
Blake Foster
3/4 players in this game are retarded lemmings who blindly follow the one competent player on their team. Spread out and ink different areas at once? Fuck that, let's follow that guy and ink the tiny little corners and shit he missed!
Christian Jones
* be the one to initiate combat being the one to initiate combat is generally more important than aim = ambush. See them first before they see you.
* work in pairs Don't fight alone if you can help it. In a 2vs1 fight, 90% of the time the side with 1 person will lose. Before the match try to figure out who would be the most skilled person to team up with as a partner, look at their levels & splatfest rank. Also you can look at how well they did after a match to help you gauge their skill.
* win turf wars by keeping enemy stuck near their base Turf war is about which side can KEEP their turf inked. The most sure fire way to do that is to prevent the enemy from acting means killing them. The enemy can't do jack when they're dead, and respawning + traveling to un-inked areas just means the more time they not doing anything.
The most pro way to make sure you win a battle is to keep the enemy stuck near their home base. Not easy to do, but the most sure way to win.
Cooper Martin
every game today I get retards on my team who paint tje walls at spawn for ages or walk face down to ink timy patches in the backlines. why is mayo full of shitters today?
Asher Davis
strange. What happens for me is that almost all the teams I've been on always spread out, nobody works together, so they just get picked off one by one all the time.
Isaac Ramirez
i didnt even see them or their superjump markers. they were just dead at my exact location all of a sudden.
Caleb Reyes
Splatfest is over for me, they'll probably post the results in an hour.
could be lag
Alexander Bell
that inkling vs flyfish picture always reminds me of this one of the orz marine from star control.
Jace Russell
Well I guess it's confirmed that the mayochugging Eurofags have ruined this splatfest for everyone else, thanks Nintendo.
Connor Scott
Same. The best thing I've seen so far is Marie shrugging with a caption saying something like "I'm just saying Octolings shouldn't be allowed to vote."
Wyatt Williams
Being a brush ninja is interesting. Because you can't really stick with pairs. It's more like you have to run across the field and trade partners constantly. The point of being brush ninja is to make the enemy forget you exist until you come in for kill (I've taken out pairs like this with brush alone). You have to forsake all honor to do this well. You need to piss off the enemy with cheese tactics and lure them into traps. Other players may call you an asshole but the goal is victory. And if your team is good your ninja-ness should lure enemies into your teamate's crosshairs naturally. Which is kills for team mates. And expect to get killed if things don't go as planned. A lot.
Nathan Miller
...
William Richardson
Are you fucking serious? I guess it would be a complete US Ketchup victory otherwise but they should have made us Ketchup vs. Mustard if that was an issue.
Justin Kelly
i feel like there could be a better sub and special for such a strategy. the sprinkler/ink strike combined with the brush dash allowed you dive in to where the enemy ink was at its highest density and take it all and thats all it was really good at because its pretty terrible as far as weapons go, the speed came in handy again where you got to waste enemies time even longer after they noticed you, while the secondary weapons given to it in splatoon 2 seem more like they were to support a more direct weapon. it could swap secondaries with the octo brush and they would both work i think.
Kayden Smith
It's been an hour and a half NoA, are you really gunna make us wait until the Eurofags are done?
Gabriel Cook
reminder that mayofags should off themselves.
Carter Howard
Pearl looks ugly. I would rather fuck the brown octoling at this point. I don't even play Splatoon.
Adrian Ross
I'm finding the cock bomb for Octobrush is good to chase inklings out of ink. And I had some great surprise mother fucker moments with sudden ink jet when out of ink. That said ink recovery is more important than speed.
Camden Barnes
...
Zachary Ward
do ink recovery boosters shorten the time between tossing your chicken and being able to actually refill ink? that delay can be pretty brutal
Matthew Clark

Cooper Roberts

Alexander Jones
what are votes exactly? The amount of people who chose that side? If so holy fuck nobody liked mayo. I just chose randomly, I had no idea.
Ian Rogers
This is the price of slacktivism. And Europeans.
James Gray
I only hear of mayo on sandwiches, so i guess it makes sense that it is so unpopular.
Hudson Lewis
This is like the reverse of Cats vs. Dogs. I bet ketchup would have done better if we weren't stuck fighting ourselves 50% of the time.
Kevin Jones
...
Brody Wright
Wait hold on did they Lump NA and EU in the same way. Thats retarded. For what purpose?
Colton Harris
WHITES WIN AGAIN
Michael Smith
Good game, worth $360
Cooper Allen
Eh I got x21 sea snails. I can at least get some good slots with this.
Elijah Carter
Mayo's good when you mix it with other stuff, like spicy mayo sauces and what not. I also like it on ham sandwhiches with mustard.
Ketchup is a much stronger flavor so it's usually best paired up with nothing or other strong flavors, like burgers, french fries, onion rings, etc.
They both have their uses, and I see them as completely different things, so this splatfest really didnt matter that much to me. I'm just surprised that mayo seems to be so hated.
I had a few mayo vs mayo matches. I'm not really sure why ketchup lost on the fights though, about 75% of the matches I played it felt like my team was bad. I guess i'll just be happy for the extra snails.
Jose Peterson
It's more like more people know what to do with ketchup. You can put ketchup on pretty much anything and some weirdo somewhere will like it. It's also much more common.
Meanwhile, most people only use mayo for sandwiches, and nothing else. In the eyes of most Americans, it is a one-trick pony, and ketchup seems much more versatile.
Also a lot of people just want to fuck Marina.
Carter Murphy
God damn race traitors
Colton Miller
First fucking actual match and my team is fucking shit.
Charles Cox
Or I actually just prefer ketchup
Henry Clark
remember pirates vs ninjas? well, this seemed like such a close shave in wins that if any of the old popularity counts were in place we would have gotten crushed.
having a preference doesnt mean you hate the other. i dont hate ketchup. its good on what its good on.
are you saying you dont want to fuck the octopus?
Jason Mitchell
Well that's fucking retarded. People really need to expand their palates. I mean you can make all sorts of stuff with mayo. Aoilis, remoulade, chip dip, tartar sauce, all kinds of salad dressings… the list goes on.
Unpopular then. I just don't think they were a good match because they're good for completely different things, with a bit of overlap.
Colton Smith
I don't care for seafood.
Jacob Scott
Why?
Daniel Ward
Tastes bad.
Jordan Cooper
That's pretty sad, do you really value yourself as lower than a woman?
Lucas Allen
I don't mean it in that way you dingus.
Henry Barnes
Do you live near china or some other polluted water part of the world?
Connor Evans
No, I live in one of the best countries for seafood, possibly the best, it just tastes bad.
Cooper Clark
touch the octopus
marina is a big fan of motorboating
Cameron Adams
Well user was asking if you wanted to have sex with the octopus, not if you enjoy eating octopus. So for you to say I don't like seafood, it would hold different connotations.
Samuel Bennett
Seafood as a Prejorative, holy shit.
Ethan Price
Welcome to the house of pain.
Alexander Cooper
Then why not just say "no I don't want to"?
Aiden Walker
what should i do with my sea snails? reroll x21?
Tyler Phillips
No I don't want to.
Hot Ink them.
Camden Jenkins
yeah, id like to know what exactly youre supposed to do with them, lore wise. surely youre not supposed to trade them to shady characters to perform the dubious act of gear modification. if that were an officially sanctioned thing theyd probably at least have kiosks.
Caleb Rodriguez
fuck off gayfag
fuck off lorefag
James Wilson
Fuck off indecisive fag
Asher Lee
find the gear with the Main skills you like, that don't have three slots yet. Use the snails to add slots to them. do not use the snails to reroll, because you can probably do that with cash later on, and adding slots is more useful to you now.
Michael Ward
Lore wise the shells of the sea urchins are used to upgrade your gear (add slots/rerolls). The urchins (Spike & Murch) eat the snails, because real life urchins have huge appetites & eat tons.
That's why in Splatoon 1 there were a bunch of empty shells of the sea snails near Spyke. He uses the shells to upgrade your gear. If you don't give him snails, he'll sell you one of his to use.
Wyatt Phillips
I hope you roller faggots seriously choke on a dick. This had to happen. It was an inevitability.
Grayson Gomez
jesus christ he may be a faggot but he's right
Xavier Wilson
Reminder that we're going to be paying for this service in a few months. Nintendo fucking sucks at matchmaking
Luke Hill
Or People who like mayo are just better at the game.
Jordan Hernandez
Think about it logically fam, you think Mayo would have won if there was actually competent matchmaking? I refuse to believe less than 30% of the playerbase was able to beat out more than 70% in any way other than having the advantage of actually getting matched with the other team, in a pure numbers game, if Mayo was getting consistently matched up with ketchup, they would have lost, no contest.
Liam Perez
Yeah, though you'll want sub saver and run speed.
Aaron Bennett
Someone in mumble asked me this week where the song at the end of this webm comes from
I played that event from the beginning to the very end, only to lose in popularity. If dogs weren't a fucking meme the cats would've had it.
Ryder Thomas
Exactly, there are so many sauces that use mayo as a base. Quality mayo can also easily be made at home while ketchup is much more of a pain.
Maybe that 70% was mostly made up of literal children that would rather have their corn syrup hit for the day than actually have a palate. Mayo vs mayo was pretty common for me (here in NA).
Carson Hall
The Irony
Gavin Collins
Honestly not that surprised. While we were clearly out numbered every mayo I knew was winning 70-80% of games. We just seemed more motivated.
Easton Ward
Dynamo is never for rolling. git gud
Fuck Doge.
Well team ice cream won individual matches and they had majority vote (around 70-80%). And I was fighting ice cream all the time. So I think there's still a deciding skill factor involved with the victory to loss ratio.
Our motivation is to protect Pearl's smile and cover Marina in mayo bukake for last splat fest's revenge.
Aaron Smith
it always seemed like the less popular team had an easier time winning matches. a shorter warm up period because of less warriors doing more fighting, and less waiting around for their minds to get out of splatoon mode. at least, thats how i feel having played both on both super popular and super unpopular teams
i didnt have any connection issues at all in cake vs ice cream. in fact it was the smoothest splatoon ive ever played.
David Lewis
One thing I'm impressed by after seeing video of this Splatfest is the ink really does capture the colour of ketchup and mayo quite well.
Celebrate with 10 minutes close enough of a jar of mayonnaise.
Joseph Murphy
So new datamine for Splatoon reveals variables for octoling boys.
Mason Price
Mayo is the worst ink color because ink doesn't have shadows, only highlights. And the highlights disappear against a white background so 1. You can't see anybody swimming in it 2. You can't see people who have just emerged and are still covered in white 3. You can't see an accurate picture of coverage on the map because the color of map features is also white. Fighting against white is some morale-destroying Psy Ops bullshit that lesser players (anyone not on Holla Forums) easily succumb to. If they ever do this shit again I'm choosing the white team for the blatant tactical advantage. Seriously the most bullshit time I've ever spent in this game. And I personally still performed well.
Logan Garcia
You got cooked
Angel Davis
im excited for the prospect of more story development. and more squid sisters
huh, and i thought i had it rough with my tvs reds.
Joshua Wood
Mayo won in EU.
Jason Adams
Mayo 3-0 ketchup BTFO
Jaxson White
Mayonase is canonically the legally better condiment than ketchup.
Juan Hill
come on squigga
Dominic Stewart
It's not illegal to have wrong opinions. Plus that's one slip-up that makes the world interesting.
Parker Russell
caguensen
Bentley Walker
Anyone found some good salt yet? Considering the amount of children within team ketchup there must be loads of it. I want to see those brats suffer from dehydration. -t. Team Ketchup.
Parker Taylor
its such a fun and strange setting, i couldnt ignore something like that. the idea that ketchup would be legally better than mayonnaise if we lost made it a lot more exciting and i fought more zealously, if not actually any better.
just imagine a world where sandwich shops were trying to cut down on costs, if ketchup were that much more popular AND legally superior they would just get the shittiest mayo possible if they even bothered because who uses that garbage? i dont want my squids to have to deal with something like that. those teeth are made for tearing in to dense sandwiches im sure theyre a staple of their diet.
Ryan Powell
Most of the complaints seems to be about the voting system being stupid. Or that they could not play against many mayos. Yet being Mayo I won 70% of all matches, ketchup could not perform when it was important to do so.
Luke Gray
How do i carry in turf war? I got 29 wins 21 losses during the splatfest
Samuel Adams
That's a fine record, honestly. Otherwise remember that retreating and staying alive will help you more than a trade
Levi Carter
But what they said actually makes sense since inklings always goes after what seems fresh
i dont wanna give spyke the snails when murch is doing all the work. why does he look up to him?
how many snails do you get for losing as king/queen? did it change from the 18 in the first game? still got 24 for winning.
pick weapons according to the map rotation
Luis Jones
It's very important to feed your squids with a proper nutritional diet. She'll need more than fast foods. She'll needs salads too. And salads use mayo for dressing. Now catsup can be great treats on bird eggs omlets.
Also don't forget her exercise and headpats for positive reinforcement.
Hudson Allen
Pearl impeachment when?
I got 21 as king. Maybe your ketchup/mayo power gains you some extra snails? I was at 2107.4 .
Jordan Edwards
I was a ketchup king at 1400 power, it's just 3 less for losing
Adrian Edwards
Japanese results - North American results - Euro / Oceania results -
Three different territories, three different scores, same winner every time. This kind of thing happened once before in the original game, in the Pokémon-themed Splatfest; Green / Blue version defeated Red version in all three territories through similar methods.
Anthony Richardson

Samuel Jackson
Wow… This is almost DSP-tier shit.
Just because data is in the updates doesn't mean it is confirmed to happen in Splatoon 2. Devs leave shit never used in updates all the time. Mostly left overs from engine testing that will break the game if removed from patch unless it is a major version update.
Lucas Butler
Are there at least pics of these ripped assets
Logan Long
So far it's only data tags. No assets included yet. Probably because there's no concept art of Octoboys yet. Tags are player model and player type I think. Datamine was in a plebbit thread. You can search for it.
Chase Wilson
Octo playermodels confirmed then?
Kayden Green
Only the females have models if you hack the game. No male models yet.
i hope theres some kind of cream to treat anemone poison because im gonna pat her head
Benjamin Allen
The white mayo marches on. There's work to be done.
Isaac Murphy
American's don't know the taste and power of pic related from Japan.
Grayson Morales
so wheres the fan art of pearl as the mayo baby
Brandon Powell
Does "Sub Power up" not apply to the inkmines? I tested it out with three of them stacked & they only seem to do 35 damage…
Grayson Jackson
as far as i know sub power up (and special power up) is never damage. but more like usability tweaks like throwing distance or duration. for mines i think its radius
Cooper Sanders
it increases the size of the circle. not by much. 3 mains is around +75%
Dylan Young
just the circle, or the blast too? it would be a little counter intuitive if it made it detonate at a further distance. easier to escape the range of.
Mason Butler
never bothered to test. it doesnt kill anyway. mines are largely for detection in s2 rather than killin'.
Jeremiah Fisher
35 damage is one less hit required for most weapons. for a rapid blaster this is a huge deal.
Alexander Watson
I dunno, look on Pixiv you weirdo.
Kayden Rodriguez

Gavin James
fuck off

should i new thread? if anyone else is gonna, then note that theres an error in this op.
