Yeah the shifty station was really fun this time around.

Ended on Queen with I think a positive W/L ratio, but MusselForge's garbage design earned me a few losses at the end.

I’m having a poo poo ton of fun with the dynamo rollers. This is the first time I’ve used it since Splatoon 1 and it seems the buffs made it usable again.

What?

I'm starting to play this game again after managing to tear myself away from all the great games that've come out recently, and I'd just like to say whatever stage that is with the grate floor catwalks is incredibly unfun to play compared to the other two in rotation right now.

Also I wish I had more dualies to play around with but I'm only level 8 right now and that's a problem that'll solve itself in time I guess.

I don't understand why the solo queue randos are so hesitant to attempt to take the domes.

They are so clearly and obviously a huge advantage to lock down, and no one else seems to be even considering them. Every time we get shifty now, i'm bum rushing our dome to get it painted, then hauling it over to the opponents to try and keep it locked down. But regardless of if i'm successful in taking theirs or not, no one keeps an eye on ours so we lose it every time.

And then the central dome starts to come down and it's like every one is trying to avoid it like the plague. It's really frustrating, because this is a really fun map being ruined by idiots.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
Ended the climb to egg royalty with a score of 18-14. Highest power was 2220.1. Not my best work, because matchmaking kept insisting on matching me up against teams that vastly outclass me several times.

I really suck at starfish mainstage. I feel like I can carry an average team on the other maps, but on starfish mainstage I'm probably a liability.

This may be the first splatfest I keep playing at queen because I like the shift station so much

Same, I hit Chicken King at like 2am last night with power level 2100 (a personal high I think) and I'm gonna break some more eggs now until things wrap up.

I'm glad the game knows when the match is absolutely not my fault. I lose like 5 points on a brutal loss.

Towers still worst map ever. Except mall exists so

Oh, nice. Glad I installed that the other day.

Went 15/9 and ended at egg champion with like 1500 power. Not too terrible for my first one, I guess.

I played for both sides this time. I favor Marina's team, but I had to try the white ink. I have NA and EU copies of the game, so I just went Team Egg in EU and I did a lot better there, although I only played enough to get to Egg Queen.

NA: Team Chicken

Total: 44 - 20
Mirror: 3 - 0
Adjusted: 41 - 20
Power: 2334.3


EU: Team Egg

Total: 20 - 5
Mirror: 7 - 3
Adjusted: 13 - 2
Power: 2371.0

Sorry, Marina. The white ink :cripes: Hope you win anyway.

Same. Even though I was personally doing well, I probably only won 1/4 of my matches.

Hopefully team egg did well on team wins or else I think chicken has this one.

I could blame my laziness, but I'll blame the short Inkling, instead.

Why are you rerolling on your splatfest shirt? You can scrub them for 2000g.

Nope. It's a long story that I won't bother you with. I do like the option of playing EU Splatfests and looking at what people have posted on the EU plaza.

When you use a super shell you get all the existing tokens and they fully reload. I flushed it like 20 times and got 60 pieces

Couldn't you do that on any 3 slot equipment? Scrubbing the splatfest shirt is nice because it doesn't take a boatload of money.
