Not sure who to pick… probably Team Marie. And while Splatfests are super fun competitions, the awesome normal modes will still all exist. It's not like the online is done. So this sucks but they're probably trying to distance time between now and that Splatoon 2 NX Launch Title… AMIRITE? (or at least one year into it's life) That said… here's the e-mail in question… I think if it really comes down to it, I want my last Splatoon Splatfest to have one of the levels from the Testfire, and one of my all-time favorite levels still to this day, Saltspray Rig. So I voted for that. What did you all vote for? If I could pick all three I'd go with Saltspray Rig, Camp Triggerfish, and Flounder Heights. Oh, and when you vote, you get to see this nifty image. |

Marie won both in popularity and matches. I earned 18 Sea Snails as a Team Callie person. Along with the 300,000k I had in the 'bank' I now have all my equipment upgraded and I own all the equipment. So once I actually fill some empty slots, I'll have maxed out all equipment.
As people come to expect perhaps now, I did take stats of my final Splatfest. It wasn't as great as others in the past and because of a Netflix session in the house my final third of my matches were lag-filled. In the end here's how I turned out.
Total Matches Played - 34 Matches Most Played Map - Kelp Dome (only one under Moray Towers; and I played Walleye Warehouse in only about a fifth of my matches) Best Player In Match - 4 Matches (usually this is higher but even when I was playing awesome I was out done by other team members, one guy in particular) Best Consecutive Win Streak - 5 Matches (the last five matches actually) Worst Losing Streak - 3 Matches (this occurred twice) Callie Power Finished With - 1657 (at least it was above the starting '1600') Total Points Earned - 35,478 points Average Points Earned - 1,043 points Win Totals - 20 Matches (of the 34 total matches) Best Win Percentage - 66.0% (in match number 19 Best Domination Percentage - 26.2% (also in match number 19, but nobody had any dropped players) Highest Points Earned in a Match - 1,396 (appropriately enough, this was in my final match; number 34) Closest Match Percentage - 1.00% (this happened in Match 8 on Walleye Warehouse Starting Stage - Moray Towers Ending Stage - Kelp Dome
A quick aside, I was really bummed by the map choices. I feel like these three were not the best possible fit. I would have replaced Walleye Warehouse with Saltspray Rig and probably replaced Kelp Dome with Camp Triggerfish. Moray Towers, I enjoy this one despite being horrible if you're up against more than one sniper.
I did end up starting and finishing the Splatfest with wins. I really hate ending a Splatoon session on a loss and will often keep playing until a win when I am ready to be done. When this happens in Splatfest though I always stop recording stats (and usually stop playing) after I reach that highest mark, even if it's a loss.
I'm a bummed dude that they didn't just let us keep the Splatfest Tees considering, what's the point. While I was able to get enough Sea Snails to really make a final dent in my inventory, I'm kind of bummed they didn't just max out everyone as a 'Thanks for playing'. Removing the incentive to be the best in this final Splatfest would have been a nice touch since there's no more happening. I only missed out on 'six' so I don't quite care but I think it would have helped some other folks. Plus I know someone who had this as their first and last Splatfest. Considering this they would have appreciated the boost.
So what next then? Splatoon 2 on the way? Launch NX title? First year NX title? Holiday 2017 title?
I do think they're working on or at least planning out the next Splatoon for NX. I think it'd be in their best interest to release it earlier in the lifespan of the console as this is the kind of game that has a long shelf-life and would help drive sales for years to come. Time will tell... |
