Weird, considered restarting the router / console, I mean the event was on for 12 hours and you couldn't connect for that time?

It was only for 4 hours in the US

Sure was!

It was 4 hours in each of the 3 regions that it was on :)

Each region had a different time period, Jap First, then EU then the US, could play for 12 hours in total.

Also got to see some of the crazy cool Jap artwork during that fest.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

For some messed up reason the game only let me play European one even though I have accounts for all regions. Tried the others in all accounts but only said no splatfest occurring or whatever. And my teammates never backed me up. Once I went beast mode and killed three of the opponents in a line  then in the last 10 seconds they ganged up on me and killed me. Looked at the map looked like I was fighting them alone my team made no dent. I would cover ink relentlessly and get the majority boom sneak attack respawn look at map what the hell its all opponent now. I tried being the lone guy who wear the paint on his face and goes to the front line to die but it just wasn't me. The dualies were not made for me and I was stuck with the worst beginner splattershot. Had to make due the flying ability was cool did a lot of damage. Lost a lot at first but later I did what I do best and that's to ink every cm of the stage all the spots overlooked which really helped gaining the edge in close match ups sneak and attack the enemies run away a little when they came right at me but then bam. Also annoying them by standing in a corner then painting over their ink. If they get restless bam gone. The rollers were the easiest for me just back up and shoot even if they try the vertical shot or horizontal they don't get enough time. My worst matches were when team ice got good snipers. I'm there doing my business up close killing people spraying ink but then bam how did I die oh of course stupid sniper. Try to sneak up on them no one gives me any backup they are all doing their thing so I get outnumbered even if I handle the closer opponents the sniper notices it and then bam. The hulk pinch like special was really annoying as well because it came out of nowhere. The homing beacon one was really easy to dodge and gave no trouble. The dualies required a lot of practice and I realized it so let them be until the main game plus their special sucked compared to flying and shooting all the ice cream loving idiots. I noticed that team cake had  a lot of novices or I got paired with a lot of them cause  many times I had way more points then I should from all my teammates. I am above average not that good but not that bad but the noobs just repawned to die again and again and were just really annoying. Really annoyed that ice cream won by just 2 pc difference in single wins. About half of my matches never started too for some reason even though internet was working fine



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Super jump is almost busted due to no gamepad.

Well actually you are supposed to use both the stick AND motion controls for REALLY high level play (like A rank or abouve) sticks for turning and motion for aiming. Everyone at tornament level uses this.
Really dual analog is crap for shooters. Motion when done right is almost as good as mouse and keybord in shooters as MP3 and splatoon shows.

I believe if you just open the game up again it just says the results, but you don't need to do that, they were:

Popularity: Ice Cream wins 76% vs. 24%
Solo Matches: Ice Cream wins 51% vs. 49%
Team Matches: Cake wins 53% vs. 47%

So overall Ice Cream wins 2-1.

As for the game itself, yeah it was a lot of fun. It's very similar to the first game but it feels like it's a lot harder to kill now, which is a good thing. I get the feeling (and it might be just me) that you need to be a lot more precise with your shots to splat an opponent, and obviously the specials have overall been greatly nerfed to the point where they surely won't be single-handedly turning games around. Actually, besides the Inkjet I found it pretty hard to use the other specials for anything, especially the Splashdown which seems to be completely useless with its tiny range.

I played about an hour. Lost and won about equally, but I had lots of fun even when losing.

Fun fact. Most gamers consider you a casual if you use motion controls. In Splatoon, you're considered a casual if you DON'T use motion controls. Ha ha.

I think you guys just confirmed how bad motion controls are. 🤔 I'm a n00b and I owned almost every game with no motion controls. 😐

I didn't say I used motion motion controls, but nice confirmation bias there.

My bad, someone else used you to defend his point. 🙄

Motion controls is the way to go with this game, pals.
Using the analog stick for aiming is tooooo slow.
