Splatoon

Me neither. Hit king; high score of 2278.2, don't remember where I started at.

How are you people getting such high scores? Like over 2200 high? I'm lucky if I ever break 1950. Do I just suck at this game?

I typically hover around the 2000 mark. Sometimes I get lucky and get to 2100.

And that does nothing for my inferiority complex

I'm not sure of the exact mechanic, but I think that your introductory level is based on your ranked mode ranks, combined with how well you do in your first 7 splatfest matches. I'm currently at least S rank in every mode, and won 6 of the first 7 matches. I've also heard that some of it might carry over from Splatfest to Splatfest, so it could also depend on how many Splatfests you've taken part in.

In other news, I checked my record and I've got a 16/7 Win/loss ratio for this splatfest.

Instead of just telling you who won, I'll link this image and let you decide for yourself.◊

I can't remember the last time I won a Splatfest. And I don't know enough about TMNT to know how to game this.

Pretty much the exact reason why I stayed out of it too. Much like with Baseball vs Soccer.

I can't stand Blackbelly Skate Park.

You and me both!

Happy Team Donnie pulled out the win, I knew Team Mikey would win popularity-wise so that meant I just had to work harder. And I steamrolled through a lot of Team Mikey teams so the result didn’t surprise me.

I’m still blown away Leo won over Raph in popularity a week ago.

i feel bad for colorblind players next week

orange vs red

i guess the orange will be lighter but still

It's going to be red and purple which is already a standard color match (well, pink and purple anyway).

Well, for only the second time ever, I've been on the winning side of a Splatfest! There may be hope for me yet.

Looks like I backed the right horse even if I didn't manage to get very high in the ranks due to work

Not sure how these were obtained (review codes?) but here are the Octoling girl win poses. there's a lot of hip action.

The boy poses are also available. They're fairly similar to these.

I think they might've been ripped or something.

Using the Brella as a makeshift guitar was my favorite.

Also, Octoling boy:

I just love the little finger wiggles they do with splatlings. And the flippy stuff they do for dualies.

i like how theyre more subdued than inklings

Spoilers, guys?

I considered that, but I didn't really consider those a spoiler. I won't be posting anything else from that anyway.

Yeah, I'm not sure if this really counts as a spoiler. We all knew Octolings were coming, and the victory animations don't really tell us anything about the actual plot of the DLC, which is where the real spoilers would be.

I also like how the animations are a bit more subdued than the Inklings'.

Instead of getting to be slimy little hipsters and enjoy fashion and extreme sports they've grown up underground with resource scarcity and every so often inklings coming through to splat them and their leader

So it makes sense
