    That is so weirdly perfect for Splatoon.

    I've never watched Spongebob, but I'm going with Patrick because he'll be Marie's choice.

    Yep, same with me. When in doubt, choose Marie. It's failed me in the past, and I expect it'll fail me again this time. Wait... that doesn't sound quite right.

    Notably, the times are synced up for NA and EU, and the Splatfest period is 30 hours instead of the usual 24 hours. I wonder if this bodes poorly for the sustained popularity of the game in these two regions?

    I haven't stuck with Splatoon, but I feel like I should at least play a little during this splatfest to see the dialogue, just because it's such a weird splatfest theme.

    Had one of those sublime runs in rainmaker. First one to grab the rainmaker, shot it straight to the end in one go, match less than 30 seconds.

    Overall it didn't end up that great, only up by 8 points after 40 minutes of matches, but man.

    Getting ready for the Splatfest tomorrow by picking up and playing a decent amount again. Leveled up from 38 to 40 over the last few days and have gone all over the place in the A- range.

    Had to sit through Sheldon going over all the new weapons they added recently but picked up a rare one when I hit 40, which was nice! For those who haven't in awhile, going by to talk to Judd after leveling up can usually be worth your while.

      Wow the wasabi splattershot is the weapon and subweapon combo I always wanted.

      Wondered why the splatfest started late, expanded hours to sunday afternoon. Hope they keep this time.

      The Splatfest battles feel a bit tougher this time around.

      Team Spongebob might have the upperhand but I've gotten in some decent wins with Team Patrick. But this is certainly a hell of a lot closer than any of the other ones I've done. Lots of level 50s running around.

      Around 1500 Splatfest Power area I was getting a good number of Patrick vs Patrick battles and slower matchmaking at times (felt a bit more like your typical wait times for a ranked game to fill). Team SpongeBob hasn't been impressive aside from 1700ish power teams that I got matched up with.

      I haven't had much time to play Splatoon the past couple of months (and injured my left wrist somehow in March) but after fooling around with some different weapons I decided to take the Forge Splattershot Pro for a spin and really like the changes they made in 2.7.0. Point Sensors have been really damned useful on the maps in this Splatfest.

      I've got another account to rank up but I'm making use of the extra time to take a break rather than grinding for hours on end.

      Well I played for a good long while, think I gave a pretty good show of myself, might play it a bit more but I think I'm probably done for today. Hope team Spongebob winds.

      Up to defender and will probably play more later, but I find myself wishing they'd done something like Fox v Falco instead.

      Oh nooo, I forgot about the timezone difference, stupidly. I hadn't achieved the rank of King yet! I was taking a break after playing for awhile and just started playing again when Splatfest ended.

      I hope we Spongebobists won.

          I was surprised. Given all the Patrick v Patrick matches i was getting, i was sure we were the more popular team which is usually a bad sign, but i guess i picked right in the end after all. I focused on scoring high and grinding gear this time than on killing.

          A- 60, but Starfox will keep me away from attempting a climb any time soon. Unless i just set aside some time each week for it or something.

          Team Spongebob was more popular, but team Patrick had the most victories.

          I want to take somebody from the past, either from Woodstock or a big Beatles concert or something like that. Take them fresh from that experience and time jump them forward 50 years to this, and tell them "This is what concerts are in the future". I want to see how big of a freakout they possibly have.

          I thought we already had a Splatfest that was held "simultaneously in all regions!" earlier this year.

          Tougher choice this time. For one, would the costume party have alcohol or just the fancy party?

          Went on a tear this morning and got to A+ rank!

          Which was really satisfying after I dropped in points last night and lost at least a couple rounds worth of points to disconnects. Bring on the Splatfest, I feel ready.

          And they just did a info-dump on most of the new weapon series. Going to be lazy and skip the images, since you can see them on the box up a post, but here's the write-ups.
          Check out the super sweet Cherry H-3 Nozzlenose. The Splash Wall sub weapon lets you leverage the great range of the main, while the Bubbler is perfect for turning the tables in a pinch.

          As Sheldon puts it: “It’s super cute with its fruity color scheme and cherry-themed sticker!”
          The Sploosh-o-matic 7 retains the stats of the original model while adding more strategic options. The short-range main has been bolstered by mid- and long-range sub and special weapons, allowing you to fight effectively at any distance.
          The CoroCoro Splat Roller is decorated with a rad logo Sheldon found inscribed on some ancient writings. The way Sheldon describes it:

          "It has a new hollow-titanium frame, ball-bearing joints, steering dampers, super stabilizers… So many new parts, in fact, that it kind of… came full circle. The specs ended up identical to the Splat Roller."

          But the addition of Splash Walls combined with the powerful Inkzooka make this set full of exciting new possibilities.
          Meet the Heavy Splatling Remix. It’s not a remix to your favorite headbanger - It’s, uh, a remixed version of the Heavy Splatling. Warm up the crowd with the Sprinkler sub and then drown ‘em out with the devastating Killer Wail for an encore.
          The Aerospray PG is best described as a little update to the Aerospray MG that Sheldon built from his grandpappy’s blueprints. No matter how you describe it, it’s definitely a hand-crafted work of art. Burst Bombs help claim turf and the Kraken crushes enemy defenses.

          A 72 since the last time i posted barely 2 months ago. Peaked at A 88 but slid a good bit on a bad run of Splatzones.

          The commentary on the last splatfest results seems to indicate that Callie v. Marie is coming next.

          That would be a pretty good final splatfest.
