I'm getting mild war flashbacks to the old Pizza v. Burgers Splatfest from back in the day. Seems the mayos have a bad habit of being simply better than I and my fellow ketchupites are. I wager it's only so rough because of a bit of ring rust on my end, so to speak; such is the consequence of returning to the game after dropping it for years.
Meh, it's no big deal. If I wanted to get a tryhard win I'd have sided with Mayo again. But, I confess, I missed out on that sweet sweet blood-ink the first time around, and seized the opportunity to redeem my past self's ignorance. Besides, the farmed wins from going up against other ketchupites made up for any headaches I get from dealing with Mayo's cheese. (And there's a lot of cheese to be had...)
The only bad thing is having to bow out for the rest of the event. Much as I'd like to stand, fight, and suffer with everyone else, my pro-con's thumbstick is starting to give out, and I seem to lack the necessary screwdriver/bit needed to open that sucker up and see if it's fixable. A shame, but it could be worse.
Anyway, I realize I'm screeching into the void here, so I'll leave it at that.
