Aw man. Only one more Splatfest? Well, I will be sure to join in on this one. My vote will be for Marie. As for the stages, I contemplating on Museum, Piranha, Blackbelly, Urchin, and Walleye.

Oh man, final Splatfest? I know they are basically glorified Turf Wars, but it still feels kind of sad...

...Well, no excuses; this is one I have to participate in. Will be voting Marie for this one.

Just got my email for which stage to vote for (BTW, you can only vote for ONE stage).

I think I'm voting for Walleye Warehouse.

I went with Urchin Underpass. I really like that stage, and it makes sense to bring the 2Fort of Splatoon to this final event.

So I haven't been big on Splatoon, but I did buy it and enjoy it on occasion, and I'm ducking into this thread because I just got a Nintendo email about the final Splatfest. Has there been any mention of why they're not doing any more? It seems like a great way to keep the community going strong with a minimum of work. I mean, seriously, all you need is a couple interns writing the appropriate dialogue and coming up with a graphic or two.

I voted for Urchin Underpass- If there's a default stage, it's that one.

I sure said that!

I've yet to see the email. My two main email accounts aren't showing anything.

In other news, the Research Lab is teaming up with Art Academy, with the idea to have one big pile of drawings to memorialize Splatfest.

After hitting Level 20 I kinda stopped playing (this was before the level cap was raised to 50.) i came back to it now and played 2 great matches and leveled up to 21.

It's like 'why did I ever stop?"

With Splatfest ending, what's going to happen to the sea snails? Will there be no other ways to obtain them? I have a feeling, over time, there will be more players using save scumming/gear editing tactics in place of the snails. After all, getting ₩30k is a slow process.

I'm kind of bummed there won't be any more Splatfests. I didn't have a lot of motivation to 'get gud' at the game aside from those... Not that I've managed to play any of them lately.

Reeeeally hoping there'll end up being some sort of monthly super-turf-war with the Super Sea Snails as prizes, even if we don't get the themes and stuff. Or something like that, it seems really weird to think of there being no more Snails after this splatfest...

I'm cheering for Callie, because while I like the two of 'em a lot, Callie's waaaaaaaaay more approachable.

Bubbler nerf
Aw bother...

Dynamo and Kraken nerfer
...Okay, this ain't so bad come to think of it.

Speaking of Bubbler, I think I'm finally getting the hang of following the Pop It, Don't Drop It mantra. I'm activating the blasted thing before I jump into enemy-filled turf now.

I always think that I can get up my Kraken or Bubbler before I get splatted, but I'm 70% of the time wrong.

What a krill...
