Sorry to sound dumb but how do I join a Splatfest.. Im very new to this and have never done them before ;-;. If someone could walk me through the steps that would be great! I just dont wanna miss anything since it ends on Sunday.

theres a thing in the center of the hub with a screen and a stand with shirts
and u vote there

There we go thanks Applez : ).

What team did everyone pick? (Also team grub will win haha)
hollow summit
i cannot possibly predict a winner
gear will obviously have the popularity vote but im not convinced fun isnt going to have largely big man memers, i want to say grub will take it but being "the one nobody picked" didnt go too well for paper, but grub is more popular than paper i thiiiiiink? so im guessing grub will win. i picked gear though

I love the little song that fishticks chant when they land
hybrid cedar
That annoys me usually
Cause i'm like "Ughhhh not these guys"
Also some of my most embarrassing deaths is that a few times i got straight up splatted by a fish stick
sand ferry
If you don’t splat them, they can get very annoying
hybrid cedar
Yeah i go for them when there isnt much threat to me on the ground
hollow summit
OH THE SPLATFEST IS GOING???
young moss
yeah
hollow summit
i was wondering "hey why does the day change at 8pm my time" I GUESS THATS FOR SPLATFESTS TOO
i left my switch briefly at exactly 8
obtuse anchor
who's trying to team up? i assume a lot of us are team Fun
hollow summit
out of my first 5 games
4 of them have been losses by a large margin
and 3 of them we had been winning by a large margin until the last minute
steel pivot
what did they mean by sneak peak winner
obtuse anchor
that just means which team used the most conch shells at this point
steel pivot
used, not gained?
hollow summit
it was by % which is really surprising because i thought there would be a vast popularity boost from gear if its just "amount of shells per team"
maybe im overestimating gears popularity
uneven shadow
Lol
young moss
bet purple tried to ink spawb
lost dirge
whats festive shell for?
hollow summit
i believe it makes you more likely to get x100 and x333 battles
young moss
like 10x but 10x 10x
wintry drift
Quite the parteee lol.
I am Team Fun :p.
Never seen the area soo active
So this is what splatfests are like.
sand ferry
Did you not play the testfire?
wintry drift
Managed to get a couple of kills. Am really loving the Flingza Roller :3.
Yeah same lol
Had alot of Fun loses
Sorry Fun I tried..
wintry drift
Did you not play the testfire?
What is a testfire? 🤔
hybrid cedar
The demo
wintry drift
O
No I didnt play it.
The demo.
This is technically my first splatfest.
I never even played any of the Splatfests in 2
So like this is my first Splatfest in a Splatoon game in general.
Is p cool though
I love how once you choose a team they match u with ur own and you go against the other team but each time its a different event. This one happens to be "What would you take to a deserted island if you could only bring one?" Really love how they do that to spice things up.
Im alright with the Flingza Roller
But had a heavy amount of losses
: (
I suck at this
sand ferry
Im being destroyed by shovel team
obtuse anchor
i've been getting a lot of wins ever since i switched to heavy splatling
don't get a high splat count but the control over turf i get is insane
plus i have respectable range which forces my opponents into getting cornered and picked off by my team
hybrid cedar
I got absolutely mauled by 3 different heavy splatling users today
And in the exact same ways
Those matches ended with a loss cause we couldnt break past
obtuse anchor
the current maps rn are really good for the heavy splating too
hybrid cedar
Yeah the bridge and the market i think
sand ferry
How?????
obtuse anchor
hollow summit
lmao i went to see if you could tableturf against deep cut during a splatfest you cant
uneven shadow

i do not like the market stage all that much
hollow summit
of the 11 splatfest turf wars ive played, i have won 3
i have to wonder if competition is harder or if im just on a bad losing streak
im fairly consistently hitting 1000p+ which i dont normally manage so i feel like i cant be doing that bad
hidden spindle
i have to wonder if competition is harder or if im just on a bad losing streak
splatoon feels like this constantly
snow swan
what is the difference between open and pro for splatfests
steel pivot
pro is for people who aren't playing with friends
it's for solo players
that's literally the only difference
steel pivot
it's to prevent being matched with teams who might be better coordinated
snow swan
i see
uneven shadow
i hate flinga roller. i hate it. i hate it
mint socket
I’m team Gear
hollow summit
switched to pro and immediately started doing way better
which is. odd? i doubt more than one or two of my losses in open were because i was fighting a coordinated team

what is in the mind of a person who doesnt booyah back
i want to understand
the booyah back rate ive been getting has been higher during splatfest but i still get silence sometimes
and some people dont booyah back at the start of the match but do later on and its like ??
hybrid cedar
what is in the mind of a person who doesnt booyah back
I don't booyah but only because I don't use other emotes either during turf war
hollow summit
but for why
hybrid cedar
except for when someone wants to unleash the spirit booyah bomb
In my case I'm too focused on the game to move my left finger off the left stick
obtuse anchor

it's apparently the worst weapon competitively

i read the bloblobber is the best
assuming u have 2 of em in one team
just for the sheer coverage it can do

goddamn, just play the game, stop disconnecting just because we didn't get a tricolor

i used to think that competitive splatoon 2 events were just turf war before i knew there were actual modes

tricolor isn't even fun people!!!!!

how often are you forced into one

i really want the badges
gotta win 10 on attack and 10 on defense

occasionally ive seen matches where people have little icons over their heads at the start of the match
anyone know what that means?

y'know what ima pick up the bloblobber

I beat a team with 2 bloblobbers in it
We came back in the final minute cause I killed the ones spawn camping us
obtuse anchor
i usually sneak around to get em but what happens is they start chucking in my general direction without seeing me and i choose the wrong direction to swerve and just Die
it def did not kill in one lob in spla2n
so all it takes is one
obtuse anchor
i'd hit this weapon with a nerf cuz it's just silly

used bloblobber and saw that it killed the dummies in 1 lob and was Shocked

note: brella was just a phase. how did i use it for that long it was so bad

why can you disconnect from tableturf????
i was finally gonna beat level 3 lil judd but oops DC at the end
im getting nintendo'd in the offline modes,,,, cmon,,,,
bitter cliff
the way the game is like is that its running online all the time minus when in the shoal or in singleplayer. its rly weird that it doesn't disconnect you during tableturf. do you get anything from it??? idk i havent touched it much at all
hollow summit
get anything from tableturf or get anything from being online during it
i havent tried tableturf like, right after walking out of the shoal, but the only reason i can see that itd want you to be online is so it can make the "my rank just went up!" posts
bitter cliff
anything. rewards, exp, whatever
hollow summit
there are a ton of rewards from tableturf but largely only applicable to further tableturfing
with regards to things that apply outside that; just some exclusive locker decorations, badges, titles, etc
you dont get money or regular exp
if you beat a character with custom card sleeves on level 3 30 times you get their sleeves
im trying to get lil judds but ive only beat him once and on the last attempt i had going he cut his ethernet cord on me
SEETHING at lil judd rn he cant be beat

i just got disconnected with a message saying "if the error persists your internet may be unstable" which isnt the usual message
and it isnt even showing up as a loss under recent battles
was that me???? ive never disconnected while im as close to my router as i am and i didnt have any issues for the first 2 minutes 54 seconds of that game we were winning
i didnt get a popup saying hey we might tempban ya even though ive gotten that warning before so i guess it wasnt me???? maybe???

how was ||gear the most popular||
young moss
mii pfps voted i guess
obtuse anchor
fun deserved points for at least getting 1st in the halfway point
obtuse anchor
everyone dreaded when team fun got the halfway point lead
i think everyone was just like "uhm, you bring gear to a deserted island duh"
our fates were sealed
hybrid cedar
Gear was also popular because there are many Shiver fans
uneven shadow
🤓 💬 you gotta SURVIVE by bringing GEAR
do u think they're gonna give frye the "popular" choice so she gets more votes
steel pivot
yeah I guess gear is the normie choice
steel pivot
I'm not sure why pro and open aren't equal
obtuse anchor
its okay grubers we were in solidarity secretly
snow swan
big man fans stay losing
obtuse anchor
i went for team gear in tricolors more often
snow swan
what was the last splatfest i forget
steel pivot
and if not shouldn't pro be weighed more heavily?
uneven shadow
rock vs {a[rre vs csicor
snow swan
oh yeah
obtuse anchor
pro is the one that should've been 15p yeah
snow swan
these splatfests are dumb
obtuse anchor
that's the one i was spamming for a bit
hybrid cedar
I also thought pro wouldve weighed more
snow swan
and if not shouldn't pro be weighed more heavily?
i'm guessing because open has more coordinated players and teams so it's sweatier
uneven shadow
they should kill off one of the idols and return it to 2 choices
steel pivot
i'm guessing because open has more coordinated players and teams so it's sweatie...
but that's what I mean
with pro you rely on individual skill
obtuse anchor
they should extend the splatfest a day and have fun and gear face-off
jade depot
pro had actual matchmaking but open just dumped you with whatever S-rank ppl show up
steel pivot
oh so it's easier?
obtuse anchor
i liked pro cuz it also factored in weapon types, which was really neat
teams were always balanced as a result
snow swan
holy shit the disparity in votes
obtuse anchor
even grub and fun combined does not hold a candle to gear
hidden spindle
20.7% ….
jade depot
this was not a very good splatfest theme
like the three options were not on equal footing at all
steel pivot
but I didn't see anyone choose gear
jade depot
especially considering nintendo themselves outright said shit like You might think gear is the obvious choice!
most of my friends picked fun
but a lot of my friends list was on gear otherwise
hybrid cedar
i liked pro cuz it also factored in weapon types, which was really neat
Pro is like the old school splatfests where it's based on power levels
snow swan
yeah this was a very dumb splatfest theme
honestly a terrible one to start with after launch
obtuse anchor
oh yeah i almost forgot power levels were the standard
snow swan
it feels like they somehow already ran out of ideas and pulled this one out of thin air lol
hybrid cedar
Yeah it feels that way to me
I didnt like the theming
Even something like neopolitan ice cream would've been better
jade depot
the framing was kinda dumb
obtuse anchor
yeah thats a solid one
snow swan
Fun would've won then lol
jade depot
or even what do you bring when camping
fun basically won if not for all the ridiculous swing shit
despite being like half the popularity vote
uneven shadow
mayb if it was gear grub and games
obtuse anchor
i think they wanted to frame it as if you had to pick one what would it be? which isn't really something you consider too hard if its for camping or parties
so they went with deserted island
which is worse
jade depot
i mean
gear is the obvious immediate choice for this shit
so its not like we're doing much better as-is
choosing anything else means just taking the premise less seriously
silk jolt
at first when they revealed the clout results, i thought gear and fun will be tied
but then, winning clout (open) is worth more than clout (pro)

hollow summit
What? It's definitely good
see i was with you at first but consider that if they do that one of the idols has to defend dimitri
hybrid cedar
The whole fandom defends any of the three lords
It's not gonna be any different lmao
hollow summit
yes but i personally would lose respect for one of the idols
so far i am proud to like all 3 idols and have respected all their choices
hybrid cedar
Well they can't all be winners
hollow summit
i mean, in all splatfest history, i think the worst opinion to me has been marina liking guacamole
and even thats forgivable
actually ive just realized ive translated "3 houses splatfest" into "3 houses lords splatfest" when thats not the same statement
actually never mind its good because then i get to make fun of team blue lions
now that i think about it im sad i was out of splatoon during super mushroom v super star because i want to know what the arguments for either side were
hybrid cedar
It boiled down to
"you get to keep a mushroom until you get hit"
"you maximize your time with the star killing everything"
"star has a time limit"
"mushroom isnt a strong powerup"
It was just like that over and over in a splatoon server i was in
hollow summit
its weird because the splatfest dialogue and art implies much more like, the effect of a mega mushroom
and also the question of "and do what with it"
like for something like "would you rather have flight or teleportation" thats an everyday life thing
not really so here
hybrid cedar
Eh its not really weird
Thats exactly what i expected from a mario powerup splatfest
hollow summit
its one of the ones where you kind of have to interpret the context
because in the games a super mushroom just makes you like. Normal Mario. small mario is considered weaker than average
but the splatfest dialogue does not imply that squids and octopi are already like. Small Versions
so is the question "whats more optimal in a mario games gameplay" or "what effect would you rather actually have in the vein of flight v teleportation"
the splatfest dialogue implies the latter given like
which entirely changes the context of the question!
hybrid cedar
It just would you rather
hollow summit
yeah but would you rather what
hybrid cedar
Im not gonna analyze a dead splatfest
hybrid cedar
Its just really not weird for it to boil down to an optimization power scale war
No matter the context
hollow summit
i do apologize if ive come off as aggressive this isnt anything against you personally i am just thinking about this a lot
hybrid cedar
K
hollow summit
okay if its an optimization power scale war then we need more clarification again!!! the super mushroom applies inconsistently to the splatoon universe because in mario it just restores you to your average state but here its acting more like a mega mushroom therefore; is there a time limit on it?? is this like an SM64DS super mushroom??
hybrid cedar
Its a fourth wall break splatfest
hollow summit
hmm
yeah i guess it is? i think theres technically a nonzero chance that it isnt lorewise but i think it is intended to be so
but that being the case that doesnt change the way pearl and marina talk about it
hollow summit
the question im posing here is "what exactly is the splatfest asking you to choose between"
also so true
uneven shadow
oh maybe ill get a new title! BOOM drink ticket
hollow summit
my chunks are so lopsided i have like 25 ink resist and 6 ink recovery
(i need ink recovery for ninja squid)
would love a ticket to help with that!
and ive been using cuttlegear so its not even like one of them is prioritized or deprioritized
i guess the splatfest tees are from squidforce which prioritize ink resist
what title are you trying to get
im trying to get "gigantified superstar" for reason; see the previous conversation
hollow summit
respectable
i think it would be pretty funny to have the ones you get from level 50 tableturf

That one person just BLJ before the match started
hollow summit
my identity as a splatoon player is connected with the enperries in my mind but the crab tank is kind of way more fun and better for me (a sticks player) than inkjet ever was
i do still miss the curling bombs though
i was so surprised when i got the "you won 180 matches with crab tank!" badge i really hadnt thought id played that much

you know what i hate. chargers

I would always try to rush them with the dualies boost

might consider picking up dualie squelchers cause they travel far but still close to my playstyle

yeah
steel pivot
yeah I thought she's meant to be one person who assumes different identities for criminal reasons
which would be a deconstruction of the trope

shes got a secret scroll which i dont remember what it says but it sounds like it'd align with that
bold plaza
yeah was about to bring that up
it says that she has a bunch of different aliases
goldfish lore
jade depot
awesome of her
steel pivot
splatoonwiki thinks she's literally three different people though
jade depot
honestly when i was first looking at the scroll barely cognizant of what i was lookingat i thought it meant that + that she was some sort of judd-tier experiment
like she was former human members of alterna

the sunken scroll comes across more as a government file than some kind of science experiment

this is painful to look at
like its a good strategy but why are the subs organized that way
i guess it doesnt really neatly divide into 3

i never really cared about striving for the best ability thingies on splatoon clothing
i just play and have fun
its just kind of like the pokemon training thing to me

thats fair but the joke was "literally the order in which they are placed on the clothing"
i know having 3 of the same sub on a piece of gear is a terrible idea because it costs way more chunks however; it looks nice

Does anyone know the reason why there was like zero tricolor in the recent splatfest?
Idk why I’m asking this now like 4 days later but 
young moss
after the first splatfest they said they were gonna decrease the number of tri color battles
young moss
wait wtf plum owns the splat3 pins
steel pivot
tricolor puts the winning team at a disadvantage so they decreased the number of them to mitigate that
rocky halo
its a bandaid fix while they work on an actual fix
aka splatoon has gone full true GaaS
jade depot
Editor's Note: they will never actually add a real fix
splatfests are like Deeply fucked
esp now
theyd have to rewire the entire damn thing and hteyll never do it
steel pivot
can't they just make tricolor not impact the results
honestly they're not even clear how they do
are they open or pro?
jade depot
tricolor isnt the problem
hybrid cedar
honestly they're not even clear how they do
Tricolor and open share the same clout score so open if you dont get matched in one but a regular battle instead
steel pivot
I guess that makes sense

how the f are the glowfly events Possible
also… i wish all clash blaster users a very pleasant Die
lost dirge
how the f are the glowfly events Possible
RIGHT
sand ferry
Trick question: they aren’t possible
steel pivot
use your special
hybrid cedar
the best special for glowflies are either wave breaker or inkjet (cause they cant hit you while you're in the air)
steel pivot
the other thing is you need to get to the high ground and make sure to escape right as it's about to get too crowded
hollow summit
i think it makes more sense to stay by the basket assuming you're not on a map where thats the same thing
static fable
glowflies is literally about being in high ground with like one choke point
cuz u can always throw to the basket
hollow summit
egg throws are costly on your ink so like. i dont remember the names of the maps. theres one where being by the basket in the middle might be rough and one where the high ground is the basket but theres one where theres high ground overlooking the basket and i think you should just be by the basket there
steel pivot
yeah only focus on eggs when you're not being swarmed
hollow summit
although i am in the salmon run server i should just check what they have to say there
static fable
i think it's better to have a good vantage point to funnel the salmonids so u don't get swarmed from all directions
where they can really only get at u from like one direction
jade depot
yea making sure the targetted player is at a solid end point so everything else can get be dealt with is crucial
grillers r the same way
hollow summit
i just saw a post on this but i dont know where id find it i am wary of taking One post as fact but it had the argument that all the egg throws you need are just too costly to go on high ground if its far from the basket
static fable
there are four people on the team and a special is an instant ink refill
hollow summit
yeah but on higher difficulties thats a lot of egg throws
jade depot
egg throws have a small but usable aoe that deals Exactly 100 damage which is enough to instantly kill chums and below
hollow summit
oh thats news to me
jade depot
glowflies isnt so overwhelming overall that theres never any time at all to deliver eggs without throwing
static fable
its tense but not impossible if ur grouped up
hollow summit
okay the map im thinking of that i dont think going straight to the high ground is the right play is sockeye station
heres what the salmon run server rhas to say about it
jade depot
glowflies are hard because its very punishing and very rare so you dont get many opportunities to practice and learn how to react to it
this map has an exploit that makes glowflies easier
the escape route is pointing at an overhead grate with a straight vertical wall you can perch on in swim form and the other players just kill the swarm as they gather at the base
hollow summit
i did see that exact strategy mentioned but the argument was that the eggs then all fall into where the salmonid are rushing and therefore you cant grab them
also that reduces the amount of people Actually Shooting to 3 although you can presumably mitigate that by having the one on the wall pop out to throw bombs down
jade depot
you dont need very many players shooting there's not amny salmonids at a time
and they're all tiny
you can dispatch a grouped up swarm of them witha bomb
static fable
just don't stick on the wall too long cuz salmonids will jump up and slap u if u do that
also the golden eggs do scatter in glowflies so honestly they're likely to not be in the giant swarm trying to rush the person w glowflies if they're on the wall
u feel me
like its an annoying aspect of glowflies usually cuz u gotta jump outta line to get the eggs but if ur on the wall and ur buddies splat the Goldie the eggs wont be like Right There In The Pile Of Guys

not having conches may suck right now but i think once people start to get sets of gear they like they'll have much more money for the shell out machine

series aint so bad
you gain points back even if you lose
1 victory should keep you safe
i like this system more than the previous

I think series is basically how ranked work but with more transparency
hollow summit
oh i thought if you lost in series you just Lose even if you had 4 wins
bitter cliff
naw you get points regardless
at the end of a rank you Do have to do a rank up battle and gain 3 wins over 3 losses tho
idk what happens if you lose, i guess you lose points and have to reach it again

ideally it wouldnt take more than a battle to reach it again and try the rank up matches once more
