Splatfest music change thoughts.

[Aori]

Does anyone else think they should have saved this music for the last hour or so? Maybe last few hours'd be better due to time zones, but I dunno. It feels more fitting for "getting really close to the end". I prefer the original splatfest tune, since final boss music constantly seems a bit weird to have in.. But then again I suppose its just my preference.

I think it's gr8 m8 I r8 8/8.

 

[Aori]

I guess I'm mostly worried about getting tired of the music, but I don't play constantly so IDK. I guess it's a nice touch. Eh.

 

[Joseph Staleknight]

I think they should have made it last the entire Splatfest. It beats having to listen to that same song normal ones get in the first half.

 

[SpiralRhapsody]

On paper, I would agree that it should've just been the entire event, but I'm not against it at all because the music changed right after my morale dropped and I was this close to just not picking up the game ever again.

It pumped a lot of hype into me.

Back during the first splatfest I though that this song was going to be in a Splatfest (I mean, it was in the trailer for the splatfest) and I was disappointed that I never got to hear it. Having it play during the final day of the final splatfest is pretty much one of the best things that could have happened in my opinion

I don't mind it I like them both. It would have been cool if for the last splatfest they cycled through all of the levels instead of just 3 of them.

It would have been nice to see all the stages at night tbh.
Maybe it could have cycled all the Squid Sisters songs though... or at least the fast paced ones.
Callie's solo def. would be kinda cool to fight to. I would have liked to hear Marie's solo but it's kind of slow for the pace of the battles. Maybe they would have found a way to make it work though.

Considering the sound problems multiple people have reported, seems to me like this was a pretty last-minute file switch.

 

[Inuranchan]

I'm with LMG. I was also disappointed after seeing the initial trailer and playing the first splatfest.
I was actually playing when the music started and it was the most jarring but equally awesome thing. My team even visibly had a reaction. We started off pretty slow at first, then came the "booyahs".

I wonder if something special might happen towards the end. Dessgeega is probably right tho. Most likely this was a last minute addition. Earlier today I had a nice round of "absolute quiet turf war", until the 1 minutes mark lol.

Wow. I kinda am sad they changed it then.

What kind of sound problems are we talking about? If it's something like the music just not playing, then, well, I always have QotSA.

 

[G1ng3rGar1]

I hadn't played at all on Friday, and when I came into the living room lo and behold my favorite Squid Sisters song

It's a great song choice for battle

Yeah, at least for me, the track not loading. I can recall at least one match where Calamari Inkantation didn't load but the "1 minute left" track did, as normal. It was interesting but eerie.

I rather like the idea of swapping out the music for the final 24 hours so everyone playing during that window would have a chance to listen to it. I was awake and playing when they switched tracks—thought I was playing with hackers. Wound up switching teams a few times, then it began to dawn on me that "no, this is actually legit."

For a final splatfest it made for good hype music. I was even able to shoot a bamboozler in time to the beat, which somehow made me a bamboozling aimbot for a few matches. o.0

 

[Flareth]

No sound problems on my end. Maybe I just got lucky there.

I do like how it matched the atmosphere of the last hours, but I still get the feeling that perhaps it only added to the intensity of it. I don't quite know how to put it, but... there's something about that music playing during the usual "brutal fight for the middle ground followed by a team wipe and spawncamp" that evokes quite a different feel than if it was just Ink Me Up playing during the same scenario.

 

[SpiralRhapsody]

It sucks hearing there were sound issues. The music was always working on my end.

Best song owo
Pretty happy they did it

 

[jakeoti]

I got so hyped when I discovered it, and I was also happy that they did it for the whole final day. I worked that day, so I only got to play more Splatfest matches that morning before work, so I would have missed it if it had only been in the last hours...unless I'd chosen to play matches when I got back, but I was so tired that I didn't want to hurt Team Callie any more than I already had.

I think we already talked about this on the main final Splatfest thread about the weird glitch. And how eerie the match was until the final minute. So it must have been a fairly rare occurrence, but it definitely happened to me too.

But I loved that the song was put in. I wish it had been played during the first day, since that was the majority of my Fest playing. Either way, I would not mind if both the splatfest, and Cantation were added to the songs played in normal play. May as well.
