Huh, this is neat and not something I saw in the patch notes? League results now just list your # in the leaderboards if you made top 100, instead of having to go to the app and filter by region and time etc to find it.

X Rank is brutal ....I finished my 10 placement matches, lost the next match and got dinged 60 points, won the next one and got +8...

I'm not going to pretend like I'm a superstar player or anything, but boy howdy you can really start to see the difference in players who look at their map and those who don't in clam blitz A rank.

It's like a Goofus and Gallant comic.

I totally did this. It was tempting to see if she had a way to block it like Marie or would just endure it like Cap'n Cuttlefish.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
The very first thing I did in the 3.0.0 update was go to Octo Canyon and shoot Callie in the face. I too wanted to see if she would block it somehow or just shake it off like Cuttlefish did.

These aren't kill shots and they're against stationary targets.

Still, it's very impressive that they can place hits like that.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It seems implied Marina has an engineering background, and the whole thing with Shifty Station maps is they use various gimmicks from Octo Canyon.

We have our first sponsored Splatfest: Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles. Are you on the side of Ralph or Leo. Hang on a minute, did they shorten their names??

This is also happening in Europe.

Splatfest Law already states that a Perfect Body is better than a Perfect Brain! :goonsay:


Also the artstyle for that TMNT version is uuuugly. Leo's body proportions look more like Michigan J. Frog than a hero in a half-shell.

Japan gets sponsored splatfests about the real issues like concepts of biological magic and nuggets vs French fries, while the US always just gets Who's your favorite cartoon character.

Like the text says, there are two rounds. (For obvious reasons.) Will there be a final Splatfest to decide the overall winner? Go figure.

They also get Ramen Brand Flavor #1 vs. Ramen Brand Flavor #2 so they aren't perfect.

This one's absolutely the worst because not only is it a weeks-long ad for a show that's nobody's seen but they seem to have changed all the old character templates for this version, so the characters aren't even what you'd remember them being... like, apparently they got Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Rec to voice Leonardo and he's a tryhard ladies' man or something?

:siren: Splatfest schedules :siren:


  • US/AU/NZ Raphael vs. Leonardo @ May 4th 21:00 PT / May 5th 00:00 ET / May 5th 14:00 AET
  • EU Raphael vs. Leonardo @ May 5th 16:00 CET
  • US/AU/NZ Michelangelo vs. Donatello @ May 11th 21:00 PT / May 12th 00:00 ET / May 12th 14:00 AET (estimate)
  • EU Michelangelo vs. Donatello @ May 12th 16:00 CET (estimate)

The first sponsored Splatfest arrives, and it's a two-rounder for all members of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Will there be a third and final Splatfest? Who knows.

Alternatively you can view this as a battle between Renaissance masters.

All Splatfests last for 24 hours.

Michelangelo. He's the best one, by a mile. Donatello is the worst one by ten miles.

I like this. Three rounds of Splatfest to do a small tournament seems fun, and even if people don't care for the upcoming cartoon, TMNT's been around for more than thirty years, with the most recent cartoon ending last year, anyone who's remotely into cartoons (like the target audience) should have a preference for a turtle.

In this new version of TMNT, Raphael is the leader. Also, they have magic powers? And John Cena voices a recurring villain who isn't Shredder. And Michelangelo doesn't have nunchuku, he has some ball on a string thing.
