You really know a lot about that, don't you? You make me feel like one of these grannies who don't know **** about computers and the internet and go out there to find viruses to download.
By the way, the ping I get is 280ms for the Japanese server. As little as I know about all this stuff, I know that this is not too good considering regular speed tests tell me I have a ping of 20ms.
LOL, while I had some knowledge before, I have to admit I dug into the specifics of exactly how the international routing works specifically because of Splatoon :D It's one of those things where the more you come to understand how the entire global patchwork of internet is mostly held together with rubber bands and paper clips and a dab of glue here and there you kind of wish you didn't learn it. You lie awake at nights realizing the entire planet has enslaved it's economies and safety systems to an infrastructure that shouldn't even be relied upon to run forums about squids in tennis shoes. :P
280's about part with mine, actually, assuming that's a n"average day" for your connection to them. My best seems to be around 250-280 as well. But that's "best" - when it gets bad that can spike to 750. In a game where every second is an eternity, being nearly a full second BEHIND the actual action is pretty much the same as squidpartying on spawn all match. But sometimes its worse than others. I should test it during the "bad" times when it seems my opponents are beyond amazing (but their splatfest positions tell me they're in fact much WORSE than most of the people in
@Sol64's video above against some of whom I could actually defeat ;) )
Lel...
And it's to ease use on the matchmaking which kinda makes their matchmaking statements contrary.
Yeah...it really makes no sense if the whole point was to make it rank based...in a "proper" system I should not have played with ANY names from those two lists...and in fact I played with a large number of them. Though I also played with a lot of players that were S+ in real rank but down in the 1400-1500 range for splatfest, so those guys were losing even more than I was!
