Howdydo, fellow kids of squid?

As one who partakes in this forum might be aware of, there is much room for conversation to be had on a certain property of Nintendo's containing children of ink. I refer not to races of kart, nor to smashes of super, nor games of generations preceding the Nintendo Switch Family of Systems. As much conversation as surrounds this game, against better fortune, the activity of those choosing to engage more directly with said property appears to have dwindled as the sands of time have continued to flow. To the surprise of none who have chosen to read this writing thus far, I refer to perhaps the grandest Nintendo game to have ever graced the eyes of its ever-joyous audience, Splatoon 2.

Indeed, with the unholy power bestowed upon me, I will strike this pathetic planet with a roaring clap of thunder as I raise Splatoon 2 from the ashes of this earth, granting it a fleeting opportunity to be perceived and enjoyed by the masses once more. You, dear reader, will be among (us lmao) the few lucky enough to bear witness to and partake in my ultimate gift to mankind as we currently know it. I scoff at Snipewriter, sneer at Angle Shooter, and spit at Trizooka. They deserve less than the dirt beneath me. I will make it my duty to show them that the concept of "fun" does not require the collective presence of their hideous selves.
  • My raising will commence at 2 PM EST on Sunday the 30th of March. Do carefully note: many west of the Prime Meridian have suffered a recent shifting of time zones by approximately one hour. Take great caution lest you wish to face a premature elimination.
  • The format matches that of previous DzNutsKups of which you, dear reader, may have previously experienced. We will begin with round robin, later transitioning into a final elimination phase provided enough entrants partake in this event.
  • A set's winner will be decided within three games at maximum, grand finals notwithstanding. This sole exception may take as many as five.
  • A list of potential grounds of battle has yet to be determined. I plan to be presented with pointers from potential participants pertaining to this point. Perchance.
  • As a polite gift from yours truly, I present a primary grounds of communication on this matter. It would be in your best interest to accept.
  • For the disgusting individuals with partiality to games containing such baffling concepts as Sniperwriter and Trizooka, I will return to my regular duties of tournament organization in around the second or third week of April.
Should you wish to join us in our grand revival, then I humbly request you proceed HERE if you are unsure with whom you might befriend.

Likewise, should you wish to join us alongside three previously-befriended individuals, proceed HERE.

Do you, dear reader, find my words nonsensical or confusing? No matter. Once it is made in under a half an hour, I implore you to read the next post in this thread.

Hey!

It's April Fool's, so I thought it'd be fun to do something different for a tournament. I went back and forth on this being a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Smash Ultimate tournament but decided against both of those since there's a good chance not everyone here cares about those games at all. I also thought about something like Jackbox or Gartic Phone but I know a lot of people here haven't tried those and wasn't sure how much interest I could get for something people have never tried.

Should I have done one of those games instead? Maybe, but I decided on Splatoon 2. I know some people here may not have Splatoon 2, I for one am in the camp of people who does but hasn't unlocked any good weapons or gear, and there are probably plenty of other people with some other weird situation surrounding the game. This was as close of a compromise as I figured I could come up with - it's different, but not by enough to the point where it'd really alienate anyone.

For rules, you have the usual for this series...
  • This is teams of 4 vs teams of 4, ignore what Battlefy says. I need to set it to a minimum of 2 because tl;dr Battlefy is weird.
  • The tournament will begin at 2 PM EST on Sunday, March 30th, 2025. I won't have checkins this time around.
  • The format will be round robin. If we get 6 or more teams, teams will be split off into one of a few round robin pools and then move onto an elimination bracket depending on how well they do and how many teams we have.
  • Tournament will be best of 3. If one ends up happening, grand finals of every elimination bracket will be best of 5.
  • Maplist is yet to be decided. I will make a poll for this soon.
  • If you're concerned about me doing this instead of a Splatoon 3 tournament, don't worry. I'll be back to another Splatoon 3 tournament on the weekend of April 12th or 19th.

Ough, we had an april fools thing planned with WIPIP that could be really funny here. Not 100% sure on if everyone on the team can participate tho, but I'm seriously eyeing this.
If we do end up doing our original plan then that means I can't play Wall Heavy tho, waaaahhh

@DzNutsKong are you livestreaming it? I can't play but would love to watch!!!1!
Will be trying to! The quality was a bit shoddy the last few times I've streamed stuff and I can't make promises on it being quality this time around either.


In other news, maplist poll is here! Anyone is welcome to fill it out if they have any interest in playing in the tournament!
