I think my record is 1 for 4 of splatfest wins. Oh well, at least I will get my snails.

I got my snails :D Already spent a lot of them adding slots to some of my gear.

Time for a victory dance.

I'm the DANCING QUEEN~

Waiting for muh snails. I burn through them like hotcakes as I like playing dressup and loathe to have anything less than a 3 slot item on my squidkid at all times.

How did she draw such an accurate picture of what my Inkling was doing just now?!

Son of a bitch, 0 and 5 for splatfests.

Well, after weeks (maybe even a month) of absence, I finally played Splatoon again. Still above average but not invincible as ever.

Well I sorta expected that since I kept losing unless I also found a Good Team

What can you do? You still get cool loot for participating

That is a good plan actually, team-hopping until you find the Super Team.

Only in Splatfest though. And even then, you can't play forever...

It only takes 4 hours to reach king/queen, so only have to hold out that long.

That said, sometimes connection problems remove us from the super team so we'll have to find another.

Well, to commemorate the Decepticon's victory over the Autobots, here's my Miiverse drawing post. If there's anything to be disappointed about the Decepticon's victory, it means scrapping the plans of a defeated Knock Out with his ruined paint job. Though it could be a Throw the Dog a Bone moment for him.

Figures that the only splatfest i win is the one i can't actually play in. Well at least Marie won one.

Well, I ought to go back to college. I have no plans to bring my Wii U with me for the first week, and as such I won't be around during that incoming time period.

Man, I'm on a roll- That's 4-0 Splatfests in my favor.

So what if I couldn't participate in the last two? I still choose the right sides!

I'm going to miss that stage music that plays during splatfest.

Not surprised about the Deceptions winning =\ I think I lost a good 60-40 matches we were in until I found a good squad.

Singing won. Dancing beat it on popularity but singing won on victories (both pretty close) so it got it overall. Alas, I only got up to Dancing Champion. Still, 10 snails isn't bad and I bought a bunch more clothing out of that playsession.

The close call (well, on percentages. As its X4 now there was a reasonable points gap) just further indicates how stupid our themes are.

I just realized something really broken about the Recon ability.

If you're playing with squads and with voice chat, one Inkling can just sit at the spawn point, telling the others where the entire enemy team is at any given point.

And then your team is down 1 squid for an entire match so you can give them non-100%-reliable tips of their whereabouts.

Not if your team knows how to take down the opposing team through proper ninja squid tech. Because then you could easily pin down the opposing team at their base after forcing them back.

A theoretical Recon player really hardly needs to only play spotter all the time, too. After calling out locations and securing the field, they could easily go out themselves, and always have the option if jumping back to base if really need be.

Kind of makes me think again that I wish there was an "Enemy spotted!" or "Over here!" command that put down a circle in front of your inkling, or something...

As far as sussing out enemies go, I like that the debuff aura of the Disruptors can do just that.

...I will never stop praising the Disruptor's usefulness. You don't think they'll make an ability that shortens the debuff time, like Cold Blooded does for Echolocator/Point Sensors?

I doubt it. Disruptors are fairly rare, and if you mess up using it you can be severely punished.

Turns out that, just like with the Jr., I've come to really appreciate the strengths of the regular-ass Splattershot (or rather its fancy Hero Shot cousin) after figuring the game out more.

With a speed-focused set + Throw Distance I've pulled off some solid performances in Turf War. I don't know if I trust myself enough to jump into Ranked with it though.

Cold-Blooded is as specialized as it gets, only working if at least one of three weapons/abilities are in combat. Having an ability that only works if one subweapon is in play doesn't sound too reasonable.

x4&3 Sounds reasonable in theory. I'd need to see a squad pull off that strategy and pull it well before making any calls on its OP-ness. I still see an equally skilled and coordinated squad tearing the 3 squid + spotter strategy a new one.
