EU/OC and NA Splatfest - Spongebob vs. Patrick

[Lonely_Dolphin]

Based on this link, the maps are going to be Urchin, Piranha and Bluefin, as those are the maps pictured.

We'll know if that's correct or not in 5 minutes! :p

EDIT: It's true! These are indeed great maps for the Slosher, though pretty much all of them are. :L
That's great for me as I'll be using them exclusively this Splatfest, gotta live up to the Chum Bucket name!

Yai, looks good for playing Sloshi :D

To do a soft start I played a bit with my boyfriends account: Team Spongebob, Splatfestpower 1000.
Matches Vs Patricks: 7
Matches Vs Spongebobs: 3
Won: 8
Lost: 2

On my account I'm 1200 Power, but playing later on.

I feel people are respawning too fast even though some or most don't have Quick Respawn at all. Could just be me though.

Since Piranha Pit is in the rotation, I assume that's because that map has extremely close bases and a wide middle.

Also, all the team spongebob teams I've been up against down here in approximate C rank are incredibly stupid. I've been on teams of three defeating teams of fours, and I've only lost thrice. Maybe four times out of the many matches I've played.

So far so good! Almost complete opposite of last splatfest. Had two great teams, and we cleaned up. Current splatfest power is over 1250.

 

[Lonely_Dolphin]

Welp, Splatfest is going terribly for me yet again. Wave after wave of really weak teammates and so much disconnects, it got so bad at one point that my Splatfest power fell below the starting 1700. I also picked the wrong team, as I've been getting mirror match after mirror match, so it seems Patrick is far more popular, blast it! Got to Patrick Queen atleast, but I'm not looking forward to going through this again on my alt.

I'm getting mixed reports from different ranks. S and S+ on Team Patrick seemed to have big difficulties (I've experienced that myself, so help me god), while lower ranks on Team Patrick were supposedly dominating. No idea about the C- - C+ range though.

 

[Zero Meddler]

I'm getting absolutely irritated with people who don't know what the F they're doing, and they're supposed to be S rank people. S. RANK. PEOPLE. I'm ready to accept the fact that Team Spongebob lost.

 

[Joseph Staleknight]

As an aside, has anyone noticed that the stage rotation on the homepage doesn't work now? Might be because it's multi regional instead of confined to one region this time.

Anyway, Splatfest has been treating me well so far. I've got one team who knows what they're doing, and the only thing holding us back is higher-Powered opponent teams. Will update on SP status after getting King Rank.

 

[chubbypickle]

just maxed out may main and well lets say i played 30 games 26 of them were from my same team i can honestly say i was blue more than pink.......
took me awhile to find a decent gun composition team i had nothing but areospray on my team and i mean my 52 gal with 3 areospray that killed um no one.

 

[Squix]

Well, the beggining was, well, awful. We were getting s***ty teams, and the enemy was like 3op. There was one team, a berry pro, a wasabi, a tentatek and an N-zap (the one with sprinklers). They were coordinated, always in groups of two and had perfect everything. It was insane.

I took a small break, and when I came back, things were much better. I got teams that actually knew how to play, and the enemies weren't supermen either. I got up to champion and about 1/3 of queen with the vanilla carbon (which I'm not even good at), and had a great time. We'll just have to see what tomorrow brings.
(I'm team Patrick btw)

I mentioned I was in the C range, and i said i was dominating.

I'm predicting that yeah, Team Patrick will win if the Splatfest top 100 ends up like snowmen vs. sandcastles.

Taking a break for now.

The 1200s on Team Patrick got off to a rocky start. Got disconnected a few time at the ready screen. At the end of almost every match I got stuck at the stat screen before you're asked to continue. It would either disconnect me or finally show the continue screen.

I got disconnected from one pretty good team and then wound up on a team that got pushed back to base in less than a minute. I kept pushing forward and having the other team repeatedly chase me across the map. They also kept spamming echolocation. Meanwhile my team just kept fighting around the base.

Eventually I got stuck using the Splattershot Jr. (I'm using only Bubbler weapons) because I got slotted with some awesome teammates. Had some close early matches together then began curb stomping every team we met. Though we had a couple of close calls, we still pulled it off.

I'm enjoying this splatfest for now mainly because it's giving me an opportunity to try a different playstyles I'm not accustomed to. One of them being the rushdown.

 

[Coleo&Idea]

I always think players gave the controller to someone else to try out the game when I see Lvl 3x falling down and die repeatedly (Bluefin) and try to ink and climb up walls (Underpass). That's the only reason to explain this to me, I mean being in the B ranks means you shouldn't be that bad. But well. I'm done for today, actually had many funny moments and did some impressive Inkzooka kills (impressive for me, lol). Soda Slosher practise, yai.

 

[Ansible]

One more thing. The B rank chargers on Team SpongeBob are making me salty. But not in the way they should. lol

A few have fresh aim, but so many of them I fought have stinky tactics. It almost hurts the charger fiber of my being when they keep making these mistakes I have to punish them for.

But maybe some of them don't really use charger weapons to begin with or are using the splatfest to practice with it. Or the e-liters and splat chargers are just now getting accustomed to the new update.

 

[G1ng3rGar1]

I'm Team Patrick in the B range, and I've been winning so far. I'm Patrick Champion, which may or may not be my final ranking for today. And I've never fought my own team yet. Meanwhile...

Played with Meme Cop a few times today. My name isn't up there, but I'm just plain NDJourn.

I can confirm that B+ Patrick is making spongecake out of team yellow. Played about 25 games, lost 5, and most of those games were lost within the 2% range.

Maybe the opponents are just playing around, but I brought my N-ZAP '89 to run the place pink and am playing for keeps.

 

[Joseph Staleknight]

Can also vouch for B+ Patrick wiping the floor with similarly-ranked Spongepants. Just check out my Splatfest Power profit between these pics!



Easy 131 SP points and all I had to do was fight the good fight.

Shoutouts to several people who helped make this Splatfest enjoyable: ricky, Josette, Iffa, Jack, [SS] Mask, Kelcou, cнεrrγ, Anime King, cOr33, SQN⇔Dяαgση, Ketchup and Nicko. Looking forward to seeing the results with everyone!

For me (Patrick, S Rank starting Power), this Splatfest has been going miles better than the preceding one, the theme of which I don't even remember [looked it up after writing this post and oops, I didn't dislike Hoverboards vs. Jet Packs that much].

I'm winning around half of games, which is totally fine by me, particularly because I'm using this event as an opportunity to practise the Sloshing Machine some more and so would expect to be performing sub-par. I'm running precisely neutral records surprisingly often. I'm also managing to colour 700p or more most of the time, which is great for this weapon. I'm not using standard gear for this weapon, as I'm also taking the opportunity to level up my Legendary Cap and would normally go for more ink efficiency.

At first, connection and stuff was reasonable, not outstanding by Splatfest standards but not worse than usual. I had one disconnect on my team, but that was the only time it happened within 10+ games (I'm not yet done ranking up). It did take quite a while to find some matches but not too many games were Patrick vs. Patrick. I managed to keep the same reasonably good team for a while, but there was one thing that kept completely throwing me off... a Roller user (probably Krak-On) was constantly using D-pad emotes, for reasons I can't fathom. I think that they were using "C'mon!" as a taunt rather than strategic command, although I can't be certain they were from the USA. It was deeply irksome and I was glad to have to leave to go shopping...

Well, I did decent in A rank Spongebob. I haven't reached royalty yet, but the climb to Champion wasn't too terrible. Except for a few games where I played out of my mind and we still lost (ex: 10/1 and 1050 pts in a loss). I definitely won more than I lost.
Still...not THAT much fun. Especially when you consider what is at stake.
