Ugh, the people that spend the whole round camping the cannon on our side are baddddddd.

Use it a bit and then push forward, the central cannon is far more important, and taking out their cannon is more useful than spending the whole round in ours.

Worse is two people lining up to jump in after the first guy dies, ugh

The coolest poo poo I've seen was somebody on the other team use 2 well placed curling bombs to coast the coast the map with nobody realizing and take our cannon and smoke us from behind. Wish I could have taken a pic of the map to preserve the beauty of their shots, the angles were impeccable

I've started to develop a theory I've titled Team Splat Parity or "loving teammates need to suck less so I don't get flanked constantly and drat it would you idiots stop charging down the middle gently caress"

The games where I've lost to team money were mostly on Kelp Dome and mostly because they somehow locked down any and every path to the middle to the point that we got stuck in our own end. I'd blame my teammates but I couldn't do poo poo either so...

But I think I'm like 5-3 against team money so that's a plus at least.

This shift station is great, indeed. Wish my teams were less timid and didn't get totally overwhelmed every game.

Love King at 18-14, power 2055.1. not bad, but I was also matched up with a few straight up shitawful teams, had a couple matches where we got spawn camped because motherfuckers just kept charging to their deaths.

Who's up for team matchups? I've never done teams in splatfest before.

I think only like 5/7 of my placement matches were vs money, and like half my regular matches.

Reached Love royalty with a score of 19-8. Highest power was 2316.6. Out of all those matches, I scored 7-4 against money. Well i guess we know who took the popular vote. I was honestly expecting money to have the popular vote.

I want this shifty station in the game like, yesterday. It is tremendous fun, and I bet they could dress it up with a killer theme from the single player, like a parking garage or something

A battlefield left over from the Great Turf War, with WWI trenches and cannons up above in No Man's Land. And replacing Moray Towers.

It would be cool if they put every gimmick in Moray Towers. Cannons, ink rails, sponges, boost pads, the roller things that shoot out when you ink them, the conveyer belts from S1 maps, and a water level transformation at 1 minute left

Made it to Love Queen, won some, lost some, but I only ever lost one match against Money, so I'm keeping the tally strong. I didn't end there but my power level peak was 2270.

I think the perfect game in my mind, for Splatoon 3, would be all these maps, and also Saltspray Rig, all the weapon balance etc 1:1, with Player Servers. So I could, for instance, host a 24/7 BBS Clam Blitz server. Or join a turf war random, or a Tower Control best of. Give power to the players, and then this experience would be something I would play for a half hour every day of my life for years

My W/L ratio to get to Money King was 19/15 in the end.

Did pretty drat well last night, got to 60/99 champion pretty quick, and then got just the worst teams this morning, so the last 39 points were mostly losses worth 2 points.

Went 18-13 to Love King, but if I adjust for only Money vs Love battles it's a less stellar 6-8.

What are people's splatfest power rankings coming out of this? Not sure how good being in the 1900s is, since everyone seems to be in the 2k range.

Then again, I'm still B+ in normal ranked v:shobon:v

2400+ is usually when players start getting logged into the top 100 players.

1900 is fairly on the low end of the top players, I believe? I've seen powers go as low as 1200.

The only people posting in this thread still are generally pretty drat good. Not like, top 50 in the world good, but 2300 is on the top percentile of matchmaking

I would roughly, very roughly, say that 1800-1900 vs 2000+ is somewhere near what separates A rank from S rank. I got to watch someone else play who more hovers in that range vs where I play in both cases. The main difference is aim abilities and really grasping stage strategy. Which seems to be the difference when I'd get kicked out of Splatoon 1's shared S rank vs A.

Pretty disappointed. I usually do better, but being on Team Love is not easy. S+ starts around 2100.

The console has to render dynamic ink splatter, and that adds up in RAM and processing power if it has to try to render it up to four times on top of the usual assets AND still keep an even 30fps.

It's not a different version of the game, it just includes a bunch of other physical stuff with the game for the same $60 MSRP to convince people to buy that haven't already.

The actual reason was because the Battle Dojo in Splatoon 1 wasn't used all that often, so they decided to focus their efforts on other aspects of the game instead.

The battle dojo was a laughably tacked-on thing and didn't even provide a comparative multiplayer experience.

I stayed the whole day between 2000-2100 power, so I would say this was a decent Splatfest. Not my best but I had a few awesome matches where we managed to pull through at the last second.
