Splatoon

heh

Bunnies have the clout lead over Bears by a very slim margin. Still anyone's game!

Think Bunnies got Popularity in the bag on this one.

You guys are using Five Nights at Freddy's characters for team nicknames while I'm over here using Arknights races for team nicknames (Liberi, Cautus, Ursus). I'm not alone on this... right?

Fuck the stamper and fuck EVERYONE that makes excuses for it not being the single most obnoxious piece of shit broken OP as fuck special in the franchise.

Funnily enough I had an instance earlier where I tried to fire off a Booyah Bomb... but in the split second before it deployed my super armor, somebody with an Ultra Stamp basically pulled a "hi how are ya" and hammered me into oblivion.

Mahi-Mahi is probably not like, worse than Bluefin Depot as far as Tricolor Stages go. But I am definitely having about as much fun on it

The extremely thin clout lead rabbits have means bears are very likely going to seize victory despite likely being the least popular team, and that makes me genuinely angry

Wonder how many matches the other two teams had that were chicks, not each other or mirror matches.

Huh. I noticed in the previous tricolor match, when the ultra signal was grabbed - twice no less - the water level didn't drop.

But it did for all other tricolor matches I was in.

Glitch perhaps?

I feel like this map is more biased towards the attacking teams than other maps, and I'm saying that with the knowledge that other maps are usually already biased towards the attacking teams.

It's biased towards the defenders at first due to how bottlenecked access to the Ultra Signal is, plus there's a block to the right that lets defenders enter the ledge in the base for attackers and start raining hell on them from there. Once the water level drops it favors offense though, since their bases become harder to enter while the defending base becomes very easy to enter, and a lot more ground is open to get contested.

So it comes down to if defense can keep the Ultra Signal from getting capped at all, essentially. I honestly think it's one of the more fun Tricolors we've had, since "functionally two maps in one" is a pretty novel solution to keeping the map from favoring one or the other.

I’ve officially reached “Team Li’l Bunnies Ruler”.

Had an absolutely BEAST streak to get to Ruler which included my first x100 win in what feels(and likely is) like was the first Splatfest of Rock Paper Scissor.

To the guy who said that June is a big Run month, I’m holding you to that promise that I won’t miss out on anything that month. I don’t even have any interest in that mode anyway.

I think I'll call it here. Here's my final stats.

• Team: Li'l Bunnies
• Rank: Li'l Bunnies Ruler
• Sneak Peek Shells: 3
• Open Mode:
  • W/L Records:
    • Vs. Team Chicks: 0-3

    • Vs. Team Bunnies: 0-0
    • VS Team Bears: 7-9

    • Defending: 1-2
  • Tricolor Clout: 62,935

[1] Congrats! I got my first 100x win during the previous Splatfest, it’s a great feeling!

I still regret picking Team Frye in the September 2023 Splatfest. I would've gone with Shiver if I'd read the question correctly, I thought it was asking who would be the perfect leader of Splatsville, not of Deep Cut.

Didn't play nearly as much as I wanted to due to irl business and general tiredness (being in and recovering from your school's musical will do that to you), but I did what I could.

Final Stats: Lil' Bunnies Champion

• Open Clout: 57,821
• Pro Clout: 1,280
• Tricolor Clout: 31,246
• Final W:L Ratios: 12:19 (Normal), 3:2 (Tricolor)

Preemptive GGs to Team Bear Cubs because I barely ever saw any Baby Chicks outside of the plaza so they might as well not exist.

har har har har har

I'm done. This splatfest took a lot out of me. I really did not enjoy those losing streaks Glicko sent me on, nor did I appreciate how the algorithm kept forcing me into mirrors instead of actual tricolor battles. For such a happy theme, this one really didn't have me smiling. Did get in a few 10x wins though, so it wasn't all miserable

• Li'l Bunnies Ruler +1 300/999
  • Open Clout: 105,794
  • Pro Clout: 11,701
    • Final Power: 1323.1
    • Highest Power: 1404.2
  • Tricolor Clout: 20,959
  • Final W/L: 25/23

By the way, I never bothered doing the Tricolor thingy since launch.

Analysis and Prediction Time:

• Team Bear Cubs has 90 points for Sneak Peak
• Team Li'l Bunnies has 45 points for Sneak Peak
• Team Li'l Bunnies has 120 points for Open Battle (assuming they maintain the lead)
• Team Bear Cubs has 60 points for Open Battle
• Team Li'l Bunnies has 70 points for Popularity

Doing some calculation, Team Li'l Bunnies has 235 points if they maintain Open or 175 points if they lose Open to Team Bear Cubs. Team Bear Cubs has 95 points assuming they have second place in Popularity, 245 points if they have regained Open Battle and are still in second place, 210 points if they have regained Open but are in third place in popularity, or 150 points if they are second place in Open and third place in popularity.

Team Baby Chicks can overtake them if they win Pro and Tricolor at a combined 300 points, but if they end up in second place, then they have zero chance of overtaking the other two teams.

Even then, if Li'l Bunnies wins second place in Pro and Tricolor, then Team Li'l Bunnies wins regardless at 350 points even if Team Baby Chicks wins second place in popularity, coming close at 345 points.

If Bear Cubs gets second place at Pro and Tricolor but fails to get Open in first, they would fail to overtake Team Baby Chicks, falling short at 275 points compared to Baby Chicks' 300 points or more.

Bear Cubs claws a victory out. But I got 21 Super Sea Snails!

I'm never voting for Frye's team again. I mean it this time. Not even if there's a "which idol group is best" Splatfest and Frye picks Off the Hook. I've completely lost faith in the ability of the people who side with her to break this losing streak

Now I gotta draw the Splatfest conclusion and restore my kitsune self to normal.

This marks the first time Big Man has ever won a fest twice in a row.
