more tales from C rank open matchmaking: just was put up against someone with a top 500 X badge

after a few excruciating minutes I just gave up and messed around in their spawn
 
The Triumvirate will be the boss fight during the all random weapon rotation this weekend for people that missed the badge / locker prize, or want to grind scales with the 3x bonus.

Open is thunderdome where everyone is thrown together. You should do Series if you want to play people in similar skill range

You say this, but I regularly get put with multiple fellow players with a 5-10 series win streak, against teams with a 1-2 streak at best, and those matches have never ever been close.

Funnily enough, matchmaking actually seems better for me in Open (but even better in X rank)
 
Also, on returning modes:
I think Salmon Run will be brought back upgraded, and Tableturf will get cut but revived through a spinoff game.
I think Side Order will be implemented into the singleplayer campaign somehow, and I think all the ranked modes will return, however not all maps will support all ranked modes. This way they can design maps with certain modes in mind, without having to morph them awkwardly to fit for everything.

I would love to see a mix of Salmon Run and Side Order for a new co-op mode. The variability of a rogue-like mode and the chaos of a multiplayer mode would make runs a bit more different than in Salmon Run, resulting in a more diverse mode that would last longer without feeling repetitive.

I like Side Order, but when you get to a point where you have de kit you more or less like or are comfortable with, is almost floor 30, which makes it almost impossible to enjoy the upgrades you collected under the run.

Um, neat?

That's still S+ vs S+, while my advice was for someone that wanted to avoid C vs X

I lost three series games in the last minute back-to-back

Just had a teammate throwing in a ranked game??? I dunno why, maybe they were mad from a previous game. I reported them and moved on but annoying when I'm trying to rank up.

Most throwing I see is after a wipe in the first minute, some people just decide it's not gonna work and throw to get to the next match. It's annoying as hell.

This was so frustrating. They waited until the timer was almost down and played like a frontline after that. Not even 1 assist during the whole match. I don't get it, we were winning :/
 
What team are you folks choosing? I prefer theme parks all the way, but I'm voting beach because of the ink color (I don't like the beach at all :( )
Palace is probably going to be the least popular option, right?

I reached level 300 last night and realized that the only game I've finished this year is Super Mario RPG, and I was only able to achieve that because, after a 6 months hiatus, I was practically at the end line (I arrived to Bowser's Castle back in December).
I really have to start playing something else, but despite all its faults (and frustration at times), the game hasn't stopped being fun yet.

I currently only play Anarchy Open because I want to see if I can make it to the Rank Up in time. Of course S Rank doesn't require too many points so it's realistic to do so, but it is surprisingly not too bad. Maybe it's thanks to the presence of less-skilled players?

I use the Painbrush Nouveau and its original variant there because I wanted to use a new weapon but Anarchy Series is too competitive to play around with new weapons. While the Painbrush has its faults, the windup time being the biggest issue, I can't help but like some of the things it can do, like how it paints a lot and at a decent range. I am not certain how this weapon can be improved, but one thing I wouldn't mind is giving it more range. Its current range barely outranges the Tri-slosher but that damage is also a 4-shot (31 min at normal height). I guess making it 3 shot at normal height or more range?

Do we know what is the upcoming Splatfest's Tricolor map, and if we do, is it in this game? If an update isn't planned I'm inclined to believe it's already in this version.

Thank you for reading.

Yes, I had the same issues yesterday. I though it was a problem with my internet, but I feel better to know I´m not the only one with this problem. Maybe this has been caused because the users has grown up with the recent game + dlc retail pack.
 
@Sagitario Just had a game with mulitple DCs and it ended up in a 2v3 match. Weird online over here as well.

Man Rainmaker on RoboROM is so badly designed, played it on 4 times in a row and every match ended around a minute since once you get the past the first pedestal you just steamroll down.

It has become such a common occurrence, I just laugh about it now.
Two oldish but very funny (particularly the second one) videos:

It's definitely gotten worse. I've been running into the below video situation pretty often lately. Seems that as part of this lag / new bug?, explosive items like stringer darts and bombs will vanish from one player's screen but still exist in the other player's / actual game or vice versa where something explodes on my screen but nothing happens to the other person. I'd watch the replay from the other person's perspective and they'll just be inside my torpedo's explosion and be fine, because in the host's game, the torpedo was destroyed


The comments on the bottom don't say anything meaningful, just stating what's happening on screen so no need for translations

Hopefully they will address this soon.

When are you expecting the midseason update? I thought we would know something before the special fest.

Those palace people think they're so much better than the rest of us, they won't know what hits them when the working mollusk rises up

The aesthetics this time are gorgeous, easily my favorite special splatfest looks so far

Surprise halftime lead for Theme Park, hell yeah! Clearly Splatoon fans everywhere are energized by the news of the Six Flags/Cedar Fair merger being completed.

It seems like it has the most wide appeal. Like for me, I’m not a big beach person, and palace just seems…like what does that even mean? People go to the beach. They go to theme parks. Palaces? Huh?

Weird choice.
 
GG Team Beach, glad to get second on Team Theme Park. This actually felt like a more balanced Splatfest this time around, some rounds it feels like there's one straight up bad/inexperienced team but everyone seemed fine.

This was my least played fest (I only reached ruler +3), but I had fun (mostly). Can't wait for them to be over for good. Ink effect was really cool.

And I enjoyed the tricolor map despite being unfair for the defenders (spawn area facilitated camping.)




 
I thought the crab tanks challenge would be underwhelming because no faster special bar charge (unlike the other special challenges) and only 1 upgrade to the crab (sideways walking speed up), but it's actually pretty fun.

It's surprising that Team Beach won, I would have expected Theme Park for their sheer popularity. Palace is clearly the least popular if same team matches are not common (only got those on Tricolor). Perhaps it's a good sign since Shiver's still dominating. I can also totally see them purposely placing the least popular option to her to even the odds for the others.

I have a feeling that the next Splatfest is not going to be the final one. That seems more like an anniversary Splatfest (which is September) than the next one.

Thank you for reading.
 
not a lot of people know this but tower control as a mode exists for the enjoyment of short range charger players in low skill matches specifically

my apologies to those affected

Just watched this. VERY impressive! 👏🏻
I've always believed that you're actually a good player. I still remember your old chargers videos.

thank you! sorry for always being an ass...

my primary limitation is an aversion to strategic thought. most of my matches go a lot worse than this because for the most part I take any engagement I can get. my whole play style hinges on twitch reflexes which are inconsistent, so some sessions I'll have no successes at all.

but, the game is fun. this match was a transcendental experience lmao
