Yeah first Splatfest win woot 1-6 record oh yeah baby! xP
But damn that popularity! How did I even have that one mirror match!?
Also, massive thanks to the player using a Linebeck Mii (even tho he's not a pirate lel) who I rode out the rest of the Splatfest undefeated with! I'm celebrating by listening to his awesome theme!

Indeed. I'm not even sure why Nintendo counts popularity anymore; it's pretty obvious they don't like teams winning by popularity, so why have it in the first place? o_O
And that the thing. Unless they make it meaningful to put it in the calculation in the first place (make it multiplicative in some way), it's just not going to matter much if the win percentage is too wide.

So this happened to my friend.

Looks more like a DC to me. Even as a Pirate King, I was DC'ing a lot along with occasional "droppers" as well. So don't think one side only had cheaters.

Well, looks like we won! RAISE THE JOLLY ROGER! :D

Also, I noticed everyone jumping to the conclusion that Pirates would win because the bad players were on Ninjas due to overpopularity. I'm not sure if someone in this thread said something conflicting, but so far, all the Splatfest results in terms of win % have been double-digit numbers starting with either a 4 or a 5 in the first digit. Even more, I think this is the largest win % yet. I don't really think we ought to keep leaning towards the conclusion that the less popular team will win, since all win % results so far have been shown to be pretty close.

I skipped through bits and pieces of that video, if you are talking about that teammate who was standing still and then at the end there were disconnectors, as a Pirates member I also had a few saboteurs and disconnectors on my teams.

Same here, and I'm really happy I finally got a win. Now I can shut up about losing all the Splatfests too. >.>
Yeah, now we'll just complain about losing all but one! >:3

Also, Callie's record improves to 15-5 and she's now on a 7 win streak! Truely the superior Squid Sister!

If only you noticed it early... Sheesh, every heard of showing mercy?

...How does the blame fall on us, exactly? And over one match? How did that make you jump to the conclusion that all Pirates were cheaters?
I'm speaking for all matches, Splatfest or not. Why should you go hard on the other team if they have a DC'd teammate or 2?

I'd be lying if I said I was surprised but holy damn they really shouldn't have gone with the 6x win score, it is just too gosh damn ridiculous. I know there are people that really don't care for popularity but that is just simply an important part of what a Splatfest is.

...You sure you aren't searching for ways to hate our team? The fact that you said "every pirate is a cheater" and swore upon it doesn't help, not to mention the definition of cheating never comes into play here. Maybe they wanted to keep inking to, you know, get more turf points for cash? And even if they didn't have that intention, I wouldn't expect them to do anything else except mess around, and some people do not really care for that, so they maybe just wanted to be sure they won instead.

Calm down, dude.

Uh huh, sure. Let's all ignore "unfair" and "have mercy" because that's what a pirate is in a nutshell!

Dude, if you think I'm wrong, tell me why. Resorting to insults without stating why won't help your argument.
And I'm only showing how careless people can be when the opposing team has some DC'd teammates. smh

Well I knew pirates would win and something else to know as well
Least popular teams always wins
Besides the art vs science one. That was a awesome splatfest
