I had quite a fun overall Splatfest. Happy to have been on the winning team. I was paired up with pretty fairly leveled opponents on the Red Team but I think for me anyway, what made it was for the first 30 or so matches it was me and two other players who were really fairly matched and we made an awesome team. Once they left me, my luck changed and then I had things to do. It was hit or miss when I returned to make Pokemon Blue Queen.

I love Splatfests. Keep them coming Nintendo. I love the whole Nintendo-themed one though. Makes it more interesting to me.

Aaaannnnnnd, I missed Splatfest. SIGH.

At least my team won.

Haha, I can't...I don't know what I'm trying to say here.

Yes, I'm half a sentence in and I've already lost my train of thought.

"I can't believe the Splatfests are still going," I think? I haven't touched this game since August or so. Wild. They do them weekly? When was Cat v. Dog? I was there then. The fact that the first one got F'd up probably soured me, honestly. Too bad.

@Mr_Mustache

Every three-four weeks they've had one.

@DrFinkelstein

Ah. Thanks!

I had to miss the most recent Splatfest due to being at MAGFest over the weekend. Wish I could have participated, rather enjoy them.

If three others (than myself) can get together for a Splatoon night, or even better, 8 total people, we can have our own splatfesting anytime!

I'd like to do some Turf War or Ranked Battles with just the likes of you all.

I would love to get some ranked battles in with y'alll.. Also down for turf wars. This weekend work?

@anon_mastermind

Might not for me since the in laws are in town. But I'm eager to jump in any chance I can get.

@Mr_Mustache The content updates ended in January, so all the content has now been released. They've said that Splatfests will continue, and there may be more balance/bug fix patches if necessary. That's the current status of the game.

@DrFinkelstein It's always nice to get a full squad together, but it seems tough to schedule. I'm free most evenings if it's after 8 or 9PM EST, that's when I unwind from the day.

It's Inkling Fashion Week at the Squid Research Lab. The blog is highlighting Splatoon's fresh brands with some pictures and blurbs. It's pretty cool!

What is everyone's favorite brand in Splatoon? Mine's Zink.

@DrFinkelstein

How about Friday? Pick a time and I'll be there. My internet connection is still bad, though.

@Mop it up

I'm pretty backed up on updates/etc., ie: I can't even check for Smash Bros. DLC because the last stuff I bought hasn't been installed properly yet because I haven't fired up the game. Friday seems to be a busy day for me..

I'm going to play Turf War at 5:30pm Pacific Time. Would anyone here like to join me?

What is the deal with people in Splatoon? Groups of people will go into random matches in Turf War but if they aren't on their friend's team, then they'll just spam the squid button. This makes them flop around like an idiot and waste time. It's not even cool to see on the other team. In fact it makes them a target for me. It's frustrating because it seems half the time I'm in Turf War these days I come across these idiots.

What's the appeal? No stats track the fact that you may lose or win more. No stat tracks this against your friends. There is NO UPSIDE to this. Anyone else encounter this in the game? Anyone have an idea of who the hell it doing it and why?

Also, I'm still going to be playing for a bit. Come join me!

@DrFinkelstein

I've seen this, but it's extremely rare for me. Maybe have seen one or two people do it in my entire gameplay experience with Splatoon. I guess they just get a kick out of screwin' around online, but it seems like it'd get old.

@DrFinkelstein

I see it every once in a while. I just go about my business and fling inkstrikes where they congregate.

@DrFinkelstein

I've had some matches with people who do that. It can be pretty annoying.

@Octorockin

I'll be getting on later tonight. Hope you'll join me, and others! I'm off to run some quick errands and get dinner now.

------------------------------------------------
I was an A- in Ranked but I slipped down to B+ and then back to A- today. I think I'm more open to ranked battles and not giving a shit about my score because I know I can float. It's fun and I rack up points quicker. I'm still a lousy 41… blah!

@DrFinkelstein

Sorry I didn't join you tonight. It was too late by the time I saw your post.

Well speak of the devil, a new Splatfest announced. Spongebob vs Patrick… as someone who doesn't watch… that's a bit disappointing. At least with the lame Transformers one I could pick Good or Evil. Jokes aside, I have NO idea who I prefer more. Probably Spongebob. I get that Patrick is some dopey guy but I like the general gist of Spongebob.
