Splatoon

Joined team Socks. I pray that Marina's jinxes have been lifted.

Considering my 11 mirror matches out of 32 (that's like more than 1/3), I am guessing Sweaters are the popular side.

Day four. Sock it to 'em!

I'm calling it a day now. Here's my stats for this Splatfest.

• Rank: Sock King
• Starting Sock Power: 1861.8
• Ending Sock Power: 1990.2
• Highest Sock Power: 1995.4

This has been my best Splatfest yet, I'd say. I feel like getting the N-ZAP '89 back has really been an improvement over the Jet Squelcher I'd used in previous Splatfests. The one real hiccup I encountered was that I was so used to playing in TV mode that my performance suffered a bit for the few games I played in Handheld mode. I even fell off the stage at Shifty Station at one point - while randomly teamed up with a fellow Troper, no less. But overall, I was krillin' it out there today!

I had a highest of 2033.0, but ending it on 1808.2.

For my early leveling up, I've been using the N-Zap 85.

Yeah, I didn't get up to royalty this time, mainly because I was out for a chunk of the day going to see The Last Jedi. Interesting movie.

Never bet Marina. Except when she wins, but that's rarer than Christmas.

She just won the last Splatfest. And the pre-release one.

It seems whenever there's a Splatfest, I always pick the wrong side.

Through 18 Splatfests across 3 regions in Splatoon 1, Callie had a lead on Marie of 13-5.

Through 18 Splatfests across 3 regions in Splatoon 2, Pearl leads Marina 11-7.

So Marina is doing marginally better than Marie did.

Why must I keep betting on the wrong pony? I didn't expect much as outside interference kept me from getting too invested in this 'Fest, but that's some serious B.S. right there!

Seriously, I thought Team Socks was doing pretty well. I wasn't expecting a curbstomp like that.

Mike Inel humanized the Salmonids into raiders

What's next, Pacific-tribal Dolphins for Splatoon 3?

Hahaha, the Griller.

Truly lamentable. I could have sworn Team Socks had the upper hand based on my experiences. Guess the clueless Marina fans were at large again.

You guys know the Splatfest Battles you took part in account for less than 0.1% of the total battle count, right?

We all know that. We just happened to have our experiences be nonindicative of the whole picture.

So, my team lost yet again. I'm now 0-4 for Splatfests. But despite this, I'm still quite satisfied with my personal performance.

I would have no objections to dolphins in Splatoon 3. I'd joked with my brothers about having them be antagonists in Splatoon 2 before it came out - something about the Octarians and the Inklings having to team up against them, because you don't see a whole lot of evil dolphins.

Maybe instead they could be some kind of thrill-seeking Chaotic Neutral faction that sides with whoever they think will make things most exciting, if they pick sides at all.

Anyway...some of those humanizations are pretty WTF. Especially the Griller and Maws, although at least the former is amusing.

I think the biggest problem with dolphins would be technicality of species class. You know what I mean.

I think a bigger problem is that dolphins are mammals, which we haven't seen in Splatoon outside of Judd and Lil' Judd.

That was my point.

Tell me what you thought I was referring to.

Day five. Keep an eye out for any stray hedgehogs.

I had no idea what you were trying to say. Best guess was that you were saying "dolphin" isn't a single species, but that's also true of squids, octopi, etc, so I didn't really know what you were getting at.
