For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit
oh my god pearl does a mayo freestyle rap while doing the splatfest results that rules

And that wraps up Europe's Mayo vs Ketchup mayhem. Now to wait for the results in one hour's time. Hopefully my contribution was enough, even if I played the majority of games against fellow ketchup aficionados.

Oh I am not calling it any kind of calculable result, Im just amazed based off general hearsay that Ketchup didn't get completely loving annihilated.

Everyone I played with, watched, and spoke to (on both teams) reported back 'gently caress me mayo is unstoppable'

But in the thread we had people playing Ketchup vs Ketchup matches saying "the team I faced was horrible, Ketchup is going to lose" and "the Ketchup team I faced was really good, Ketchup is going to win"

Those two posters could have been playing against each other in the same match and came to their own conclusion

Is there data on how many matches were played yesterday? How many matches does Overwatch (or whatever the hot adult shooter is rn) pull in on a good day?

First three matches were a loss, thought to myself "alright, can't rely on my team to carry my roller-using rear end, time to switch to the octobrush". Next four were a win for Mayo :getin:

Then I stopped playing because I didn't know splatfests only last for hours and I thought I had time to play more later, soak up the awesome concert some more, and properly enjoy the different splatfest-only battle music. Whats up with that? They should run for an entire week! :qq:

Do the star ratings of your gear have any bearing on anything other than the slots? I like my green converse but they're one star. If I spend two snails to get them bumped to three slot am I going to regret it for some strange reason?

1-star gear earns abilities 2000 points faster than 3-star gear at every level, so for the purpose of farming chunks it's actually best to use upgraded 1-star stuff.

Stuff with less stars also takes less xp to level up if you used snails to increase their slots

I think there's a little bit of joy in taking something kind of dumb very seriously though. It's a good change of pace from normal life in 2017 which is being forced to pay attention to a lot of bad and also serious stuff.

If your cum has that colour, you should go and see a doctor about that.

I had the feeling, that mayo was in the majority (or should I say MAYOrity? :haw:) in Europe, had quite a few mayo vs. mayo matches, I suppose because of fewer ketchup players. I finished as Mayo King with a bit over 1900 power, great success, as opposed to my experiences right after launch.

And that is drat well rightfully so! Mayo is a way more versatile condiment, you can't base poo poo only on what you put on your fries. (cue Ketchup winning in the EU)

And how fast sub abilities are unlocked. A 1* hat with two snail slots will fill up with abilities faster than a 3* hat. So if you're grinding just for scrubbing, use three 1* pieces that you snailed. Source: thatSrb2dude demonstrated this on stream two weeks ago with snails from Judd.

Finished this splatfest with somewhere above 2020 Mayo power.

MVP for Ketchup has to be the shifty station. Those platforms just always happened to move everytime I was about to dunk on some guy with the splashdown :argh:.

I mean, it's bad enough that Marina is the only Octoling to be prominently featured in the game and the reason why is "she's one of the good ones"

And then they went and made her black, like goddamn Nintendo.

It's less that they don't comprehend it and more that Inklings don't give a gently caress what you are as long as you're fresh enough.

On Octolings: according to the info here, the game files allow for new values in the PlayerType parameter. Along with SquidGirl and SquidBoy, there is also Oct and OctBoy.

It was similar to what was in Splatoon 1, and nothing came out of it.

Does anyone have all the Beatmania tracks unlocked? In my downtime I'm trying to medal on all of them because I'm an insane person, but 35-42 are still locked. I thought I saw someone here mention that they had them all unlocked somehow.
