Ketchup vs Mustard is halfway over.

I’ve seen the bouncy map, cannon map, and the bunker lockdown map in the Shifty Station rotations. Have any others shown up?

It's those 3 and the roller launcher map that are the 4 shifties for this Splatfest.

drat that cannon map is obnoxious. Also been getting a lot of Star mirror matches, is that because team numbers are heavily skewed or what?

I really like the cannon map, but then again, I've had a lot of practice with them, and can often hit people directly with it.

I sure do hope in Splatoon 3, Australia, the smallest population of players, doesn't get cut off from Japan in Pro splatfest mode outside of weird instances where some poor 1800 power team gets sent to the meat grinder.

That's it! No more Splatfests! That was the end.

Unless Godzilla attack Japan or something, there will be no more Splatfests until Splatoon 3 arrives. And judging the way they say the Switch is only halfway through its life, that's gonna take some time.

Did they say this would be the final one again? I thought maybe we’d get another rerun or 2.

They didn't say this was the final one but they did say there was gonna be 3 more Splatfests when the first rerun happened. Course nothing is stopping them from announcing more.

The Mario Splatfest was supposed to happen way earlier, (it was found in the data when the Ketchup vs Mayo rerun happened) but it likely got pushed back thanks to COVID, so they decided to do reruns to fill the gap. Also the "save our salmons" teaser at the start of 2020 still hasn't been followed up on. (Also likely got pushed back by COVID) so there's also that to look forward to I guess.

Also wow that gap in clout is huge. I think that's one of the few times it was more than a 1% to 2% difference.

Go into the Switch's options, remap your d-pad down button to Y and save and use that setting every time you play Splatoon. Problem solved.

I use Booyah Bomb a fair amount, so it's been a game-changer for me.

Put the camera reset to L just in case you need it. I honestly don't find myself having to reset the camera very often, so it's worked out fine for me.

Pearl personally designed Camp Triggerfish. For every bad Shifty Station, there is ALWAYS Camp Triggerfish.

Do you only have to booyah once for the full effect, or does spamming it increase the strength of the bomb?
